Yu Kaiping led his troops to retreat to Kyoto, while Xiao Jing led a group of cavalry around and rushed to Kyoto.
Lin Jing became calmer and calmer looking at Kyoto so close at hand.
The army marched southward with great momentum, and now they finally saw the long-lost Kyoto City. Lin Jing looked up at the city gate as if it was a lifetime ago.
"The scouts have come to report that Xiao Jing has entered Kyoto City at this time."
Lin Jing retracted her gaze after hearing this and turned to look at Meng Ran who had spoken and handed over the note in her hand.
"Don't worry, General. We just need to encircle and trap them. We will surely capture Kyoto in seven days."
"Without food for three days, there will be no worries about the future." Meng Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Yuan's familiar handwriting.
Meng Ran arranged for the army to besiege the city, and An Shi, who had already sneaked into Kyoto City, was also gearing up.
The arrival of the border troops also made the entire Kyoto tense. The once prosperous Emperor's feet now became desolate and depressing.
The gloomy Emperor Taiping in the Qinzheng Hall looked at the officials below and wanted to pull them out and chop them down. At this time, Ye Zhongjing was inevitably frightened when facing a hundred thousand troops besieging the city.
However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he had to suppress his anger, and his expression did not improve slightly until he saw Xiao Jing entering the palace.
"I love you, no courtesy." Ye Zhongjing helped Xiao Jing up with his own hands.
Xiao Jing bowed and saluted, then turned around and entered the inner hall with Ye Zhongjing, leaving behind a group of ministers in the Qinzheng Hall.
At this moment, in Ye Zhongjing's eyes, all the people in the palace combined could not compare to his general.
"Your Majesty, all the rebel leaders in the river border have gone to Yongzhou, and there is no need to worry about the war in the river border. We only need to stick to Kyoto and wait until the news of Yongzhou being trapped comes to the border army. Naturally, the morale of the border army will be in chaos. Then, when the border army comes back for reinforcements, we will mobilize the river border. The troops and ambushes along the road will be able to attack us in one fell swoop."
Xiao Jing pointed at the map and explained everything about the arrangement.
Ye Zhongjing's frown slightly relaxed when he heard this, "Thank you for your hard work."
"I am ashamed of myself. Now that the rebels are besieging the city, they still need to guard the granaries in the city to prevent fires. Then Xu Mingxu is not loyal, so I hope your majesty will be careful."
"I know that defending the city is the most important thing. You don't have to worry about small things."
Ye Zhongjing was already murderous. When Xiao Jing left to arrange the defense of the city, the entire Qinzheng Palace was also surrounded by pro-army layers.
It is inevitable to clean up under the imperial rank.
But now that the war was tense, Ye Zhongjing did not dare to act rashly and could only use the excuse of protecting the safety of the imperial city to increase his troops and trap the ministers.
There are many aristocratic families in the capital. If he goes on a killing spree now, I am afraid that the gates of Tianyihei Imperial City will be opened by "common people".
Ye Zhongjing sat on the dragon chair without saying a word. The ministers in the palace were also frightened at this moment, fearing that if Long Yan was offended, they would be killed immediately.
After all, those people from aristocratic families cannot be killed, but it is still very easy to kill someone.
The Qinzheng Palace was filled with a faint smell of blood, and no one was afraid of such high pressure. Therefore, Xu Mingxu, who looks relaxed, is particularly eye-catching.
Everyone present knew that the border troops were approaching the city. At this moment, only Xu Mingxu, a member of the former prince's influence, could feel secretly happy.
After all, the Wang family is a well-established family, with generations of officials and talented people emerging. Therefore, the remaining power in Kyoto City still attracts attention.
This is why both Emperor Anwen and Emperor Taiping had to tolerate them.
Now that there is no one in the Wang family, and the Xu family is his in-laws, Xu Mingxu naturally collects the political legacy of the Wang family in Beijing.
Seeing that his great revenge was about to be avenged, he was alone and had no desires or pursuits, so he was naturally neither surprised nor happy.
At this moment, he was standing in the high hall, laughing and watching the scene reach its climax.
Ye Zhongjing clenched his fists and endured it again and again. This man could not die until he found out Xu Mingxu's hands.
The palace is under martial law, and the officials are not back, making the city even more depressing.
An Shi hid in the corner with the refugees and watched Xiao Jing go to the city gate to supervise the battle, but his eyes were still unmoved.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
An Shi held down the person next to him, "To be a refugee, you have to look like a refugee."
An Shi was followed by a group of ragged people. All men, women and children were sallow, skinny, and weak.
Inquiring, Zhang Si licked his chapped lips and leaned against the wall in frustration, continuing to stare at the gloomy sky in a daze.
"Brother, why is it getting colder and colder? We won't be frozen to death by the late spring cold, right?"
An Shi glared at Zhang Wu, cursing trouble in his heart. He really didn't know why Brother Wu insisted on taking Zhang Wu with him.
Zhang Wu was stared at and shut up.
There were patrolling soldiers everywhere in the city. In order to prevent anyone in the city from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the granary, Xiao Jing had ordered all those who made any move to be killed on the spot.
An Shi is very powerful in martial arts, but his mission is not to kill people but to burn down granaries.
But since he can't find an opportunity now, he can only continue to wait patiently.
As the night got darker, Xiao Jing frowned as he looked at the light outside the city. The bright firelight reflected in everyone's eyes made people nervous.
"The general's city has been put under full martial law, and the surrounding areas of each granary have been cleared of people. Heavy troops have also been deployed to guard the big warehouse."
Xiao Jing responded, his eyes fixed on the main tent outside the city.
Chen Bing Kyoto But both of them knew that the key to determining the outcome of this game lay in Yongzhou.
Xu Mingyi in Yongzhou City was also standing on the city wall at this time and looking into the distance. The eagle flew high and sent back the enemy's news.
"Ding~ The mission is about to end, and the countdown will start in 24 hours."
Ye Chen looked at Yongzhou City in the night and calmly put away the system panel.
Everyone's goal is now very consistent. Only by killing the target object can one survive.
The 30,000 cavalrymen who had been charging all the way were already exhausted, but Ye Chen and the others could not wait any longer.
They cannot contact the headquarters and can no longer use props. Having lost the system, they can only rely on their own experience and knowledge.
Internal power, spiritual power, explosives, magical talismans.
They have prepared a lot, and there are enough poisons to seal their throats when they see blood.
Their abilities were enough to kill a world's Destiny Children hundreds of times, but they understood how powerful the enemy was when the system alarm appeared.
Ye Chen didn't wait too long. Everyone gave the order and began to attack the city. The siege started in the night.
The sound of fighting sounded, and Qi Yuan was leisurely holding a tea cup.
The fire became brighter and brighter, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of gunpowder in the breeze became stronger and stronger.
These people were lightly armed and carried limited weapons, but this did not mean that they did not have the ability to destroy a city.
Qi Yuan put down the tea cup and lost the mood to drink tea. He held his chin with his slender hand and looked towards the courtyard wall.
"Remember to fix the barrier."
After Qi Yuan gave Tuanzi instructions, he leaned on the soft pillow and looked up at the person coming.
"The Immortal Lord is really a good trick."
Xu Wenda, who looked like a scholar, couldn't help but strolled directly into the courtyard.
The courtyard wall seemed like nothing in front of him.
Qi Yuan tilted his head, looking harmless, and smiled gently.
Xu Wenda just raised his eyes and felt a pressure as heavy as Mount Tai rushing towards his face.
His soul was trembling, and his soul and body even began to reject him. His feet became weak and he collapsed to the ground.
The people hiding in the dark already wanted to retreat when they saw this.
Ye Chen's expression became more serious and his eyes became clearer. The mandatory mission was indeed the work of the man in front of him.
There has been no movement from the headquarters so far, which shows that this siege may have been a complete failure.
Thinking of the generous reward, Ye Chen boldly speculated that maybe even those at the headquarters were afraid of confronting this person, right?
"Noisy."
Qi Yuan dropped two words calmly and scanned the yard impatiently. People in the dark felt great danger after meeting that gaze.
They were staring into the abyss...and the abyss was staring into them now.
