Elite soldiers in armor used crossbows to surround and kill the Innate Grandmaster. The masters supported him from the side and used strong bows and poisonous arrows to block the attack, preventing the Innate Grandmaster from escaping.
The innate master could only survive by hiding in the house, trying to get a short rest.
I say short-lived because the house will be demolished soon.
The houses near the palace are occupied by the rich and powerful, but no matter whose house it is, they can't care about it at this time.
And as the innate masters of the Jianghu forces died one by one, the innate masters of the imperial court also had the courage to lead people to fight in close combat.
In just one night and one day, the imperial court wiped out the Jianghu forces that entered the imperial city.
The emperor was overjoyed, the royal family was overjoyed, and all the officials hiding underground came out to congratulate him. They could fill a city with good words.
The emperor looked out and saw that there was no light from the fire. Knowing that there were no enemies left, he decided to have a feast for all the ministers.
The dignitaries and their families emerged from the ground one after another and entered the palace for the banquet.
As for the officers and soldiers all over the city, they are also given rewards, so that the surviving cooks can entertain them as much as possible.
…
outside the city.
Yamazaki looked at the increasingly brighter lights in the imperial city, knowing that the imperial court had won, and all the Jianghu people who rushed into the imperial city were probably wiped out.
Yamazaki sighed, it was a pity that this life was lost.
Unfortunately, he could not save them and the court.
Unless they die, there will be no peace in the world.
But in the middle of the night, because they could no longer hear the sounds of shouting and killing, Shan Dai, the evil thief, the poisonous lady, and Bing Wuxin all realized that something was wrong.
Bing Wuxin frowned, "What's going on? Why is there no sound?"
Shandai was curious about this question, "Who won?"
"It must be Jianghu forces." The evil thief said with a smile.
Lady Poison agreed, "Yes, so many innate masters are not fake."
Yueju asked: "Sir, what do you think?"
Yamazaki said bluntly, "The imperial court won."
"Impossible." Bing Wuxin, the poisonous lady, and the evil thief didn't believe it.
Yamazaki explained: "The imperial court acted deliberately and unintentionally. It first installed internal support in all parties, and then used the strategy of differentiation to let the innate masters stumble each other."
"When the Xiantian Grand Masters wake up and can no longer hold each other back, we will use the necessary strategy to attack them and force some forces to leave."
"The next step is to divert the tiger away from the mountain, take advantage of the meeting of the innate masters, and then attack their weak points while avoiding the real situation, and kill as many Jianghu people as possible."
"Let's use the strategy of inviting you to the urn again and use Nuo Da's imperial city as a battlefield."
"Many people passed by us during this period, but I saw no prominent dignitaries."
"So, there are tunnels and underground palaces in the city, and those dignitaries are hiding underneath."
"The imperial court's masters moved through tunnels, forming a situation in which more troops defeated fewer troops in local areas."
"They have poison in hand, and they can attack by surprise, and they can easily succeed by attacking more and less."
"And every time you kill an innate master, every time you kill a first- and second-level master, you will gain a little chance of winning."
"In the end, many innate masters were alive, but all their men were dead."
"At this time, if we use military formations to surround us layer by layer, and add the innate masters to restrain us, none of the innate masters from the Jianghu forces will be able to escape, and they will definitely die."
"This is the difference between the imperial army and the Jianghu forces. The imperial army is more organized, while the Jianghu forces are a mob. In a war, the imperial army will definitely win."
"The imperial court has always maintained its neutrality on the surface. The Jianghu people have not fought a direct battle with a large number of regular troops for a long, long time."
"Those innate masters are accustomed to fighting individual battles. They pay most attention to whether there are internal responses. They have no idea or care about the tactics and strategies of group wars."
"In their opinion, it's enough if you have high martial arts skills and a large number of people."
Shandai nodded, "That makes sense."
The poisonous lady frowned, "Okay, even if you are right, then there is only one force left in Soaring Snake City. Do you think you can win?"
The evil thief asked: "Yes, in that case, how do you win?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "I am not worried about the court. I once said that it will take twenty years to unify the world. It is because of the power of Jianghu."
Bing Wuxin looked coldly, "Unify the world? You really dare to think about it!"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "Forget it if you don't believe it. Let's wait and see tomorrow. In short, from my side, it is easy to clean up the imperial power."
The poisonous lady nodded, "Interesting, I'll wait and see."
…
At dawn, the vanguard of the Tengshe City forces arrived.
According to Yamazaki's instructions, from Soaring Snake City to Wolf City, bring at least seven days' worth of dry food and gather outside the Imperial City.
Originally there were only tens of thousands of people. Later, when they heard that the Poison Lady was here, many people joined, and it quickly expanded to hundreds of thousands.
Yamazaki summoned the Crouching Tiger League members to come out and divided them into four.
Please invite Poison Lady, Bing Wuxin, and Xie Pirates to each lead a team and head to the north, east, and west directions.
Besiege but not attack, and retreat when you see a large army coming out.
If you are unsure about paying attention, just shout and let him deal with it.
Arrange here, more people will come over there, Crouching Tiger Alliance will distribute them, just follow them.
…
There was no secret and blatant mobilization. The court naturally discovered it and immediately blew the trumpet to be on guard.
The imperial court quickly determined that it was the forces from the southeast, Tengshe City, or Feihuafang's forces.
The court was slightly relieved. Although it was said that there were many experts in Soaring Snake City, they seemed to be just a mob.
The emperor looked around, and based on the portraits, he recognized Poison Lady and Bing Wuxin, as well as Yamazaki and Shandai.
No one knew about the evil thief's beard, so they didn't recognize him, so they simply ignored him.
The emperor ordered to gather troops and attack Yamazaki in the south first.
When Yamazaki heard the sound of drums and horns mobilizing the troops, he ordered them to go down and retreat if the enemy came to attack.
Soon, the army left the city, and Yamazaki led the retreat.
The army suddenly ran out of recruits. What should I do if I couldn't hit anyone?
They did not dare to stay away from the imperial city, lest the city be empty and the other three sects would succeed.
They didn't move, but Yamazaki moved.
A man walked up to the formation and said, "I am Soaring Snake City Yamazaki."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Soaring Snake City?"
"Let me give you a brief introduction. We have a martial arts secret book library in Soaring Snake City. You can read the secret books at will and copy them to take away."
"Now there are hundreds of first-level masters, thousands of second-level masters, and tens of thousands of third-level masters."
"You may be wondering why I, who is not very good at martial arts, can control these unruly people in the world?"
"The secret is that we in Soaring Snake City don't pay taxes."
"That's right, we in Tengshe City don't charge money. You don't have to pay exorbitant taxes or have to deal with military service."
The court heard the clues and shouted anxiously, "Don't listen to him, he is lying to you."
Yamazaki shouted: "Who always lies to you, who always bullies you."
"Who is greedy for life and afraid of death even though they are well-dressed and well-fed? I ask you to fight hard!"
"I dare not say that everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, but basically they will not be bullied, because most people are masters and will take revenge on the spot if they have any grudges."
The court yelled, "Set an arrow and kill him!"
Many people fired arrows, but they could not hit Yamazaki at all, because Yamazaki floated up, dozens of feet in the air.
