The fifty-sixth chapter sacrifice to heaven
"Then we are helpless and see them take what should belong to us?" Bi Xili was filled with reluctance.
He shook his head slowly thoughtfully, and Lei Juetian's expression became deeper, "Shan, I want to visit several major countries of the Nanyang League tomorrow to see if I can do some personnel. I hope the Ronesian League can delay more time."
Bi Xili's eyes lit up, "Yes, these guys from the Nanyang Alliance will definitely not want to see Lin Guoxiong and the others hitting their noses. Jue Tian, go and do your job well to see if they can send troops to intervene as soon as possible."
"Khan, you don't know the style of the bureaucratic MPs of the South Asian League Parliament. I'm worried that the decision to send troops has not been approved yet. Lin Guoxiong is already singing Triomphe." Lei Juetian said with a wry smile.
After hearing Lei Juetian said this, the light in Bi Xili's eyes dimmed again, "Oh, why did you forget the incompetence of these guys?"
"The Khan does not have to be too discouraged. We can observe first. If the Tanghe people do not move, it is not too late to dispatch our Imperial Guards. I hope the Ronesian Alliance can hold on for a little longer. In addition, I suggest that one or two regular corpses be added appropriately. I wonder what the Khan's opinions are?" When making this last suggestion, Lei Juetian was a little hesitant and his tone was not sure.
"I had this idea for a long time, and I was worried that you would not agree. Now that I have occupied Yuejing again, I can add three to four regular corps troops." Bi Xili clapped his hands.
"Khan, our initial military organization had already exceeded the scope that the national strength could support. If there were no such incident, even now I would not agree with increasing the army. After all, adding a soldier would consume a considerable amount of material and money, and we still need time to digest and absorb it."
Bi Xili also knew that he paid great attention to the comprehensive balance of the country in all aspects, and he respected it very much, so he generally did not interfere in Lei Juetian's planning.
Under the Great Pass, rockets roared up like meteors blooming, drew an extremely beautiful arc in the dark night sky. The heavy trench continued to push towards the city wall. The stones as big as heads were thrown high, falling with a shrill sound of wind, and dark red blood flowers were splashed, and desolate screams came one after another. Under the city wall, soldiers as dense as ants braved the arrows and falling rocks like raindrops, constantly erecting the ladders, and soldiers with weapons in their mouths climbed up quickly with red eyes, hoping to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.
Looking at the unprecedentedly fierce and cruel battle in Gongcheng, Lin Yunfei, who was commanding such a scale for the first time, was extremely nervous. His hands seemed to be about to squeeze out water, his face was red, and he stared at the city wall reflected like daytime. The wounded soldiers lifted down like flowing water could not attract his sympathy. His attention had completely fallen on the result of the battle. He was too eager for a victory.
Since the Lin family's plan to advance westward, he has been holding his breath for several years, hoping to prove himself with a brilliant victory. To be honest, his requirements for the training and exercises of the Second Legion in recent years have been quite strict, and even reached a harsh level, which has also caused dissatisfaction among some lower-level officers. However, it is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of the Second Legion has made great progress in recent years.
The carefully planned raid was encountered here, but the other party seemed to be prepared. Although the opponent's strength was far inferior to his side, the city was high and the walls were thick and the location was almost certain, which caused the Lin family army, who led two divisions to launch an attack, to suffer an initial defeat. However, Lin Yunfei didn't care. He knew that the opponent's strength was far from enough to deal with his offensive, but what made him strange was how the other party could understand his raid plan.
As time went by, the battle became more and more intense and cruel. The city wall was filled with corpses, but this could not stop the brave soldiers at all. The defense forces of the Neil Kingdom on the city wall also knew what the end of the city would be, and they sacrificed their lives to resist waves of crazy offensives.
Because the marching speed of the troops was emphasized, the entire army carried not many siege equipment, and most of them were in the rear army, so for a long time, they could only attack levels with a simple ladder with absolute advantage, which caused the attacking party to suffer huge losses in the early stage. Fortunately, the rear army transported powerful siege equipment such as catapults, siege vehicles and arrow towers in time, causing the battle situation to begin to reverse to the side that was conducive to the attack.
The war lasted until noon the next day. With ten times the opponent's strength and tenacious combat effectiveness, after paying nearly 5,000 casualties, the Second Legion of Sanjiang finally won the most important level in the north of the Kingdom of Neil. At this point, the entire Kingdom of Neil has no danger to defend except the capital of Neil City. Even the city of Neil is far less dangerous than the Great Pass. The only way to surrender seems to be to take before the Principality of Neil.
At the same time, on another arrow, Jin Shaobin, deputy commander of the Sanjiang Second Corps, led the other two divisions, and was used to a comfortable life in peace for a long time. The Wansong Pass defenders of the Kaki Kingdom suffered a sudden attack by two divisions without any defense. In addition, with the cooperation of the Lin family's special service personnel who had been ambushed there, it took less than three hours to control the Wansong Pass of Xiongjun's Wansong Pass completely in the hands of the Lin family.
At 8 a.m. on February 8, 695, Jin Shaobin, who occupied Wansong Pass, left only one unit of soldiers stationed in Wansong Pass and took prisoners. The remaining 50,000 people advanced to Kika City, the capital of the Principal of Kaki. At 6 p.m., the attack on Kika City was officially launched. The less than 8,000 Kika defenders were forced to surrender after four hours of persistence. The Grand Duke of Kaki led some of his confidants to the neighboring Peacock City before the fall of the capital, and fled from Peacock City to the Nanyang Alliance. However, twelve hours later, the lord of Peacock City, Earl Okto, also announced his surrender to the army led by Jin Shaobin, who was at the city.
On the night of the New Year, although Situ Mingyue was delayed until midnight, she slept very comfortably in the second half of the night. Her satisfaction with the plan of the Minister of Military Affairs allowed him to let go of everything and sleep peacefully. It was not until the closest servant had to interrupt his good dream and woke him up because of time that he woke up that time was about to come. Today is the festival for the Spring Festival, and he was going to lead all his ministers to hold a grand and grand worship ceremony at the Temple of Heaven.
He wanted to scold his servant, but then he thought that he must have seen that he had not had such a stable sleep for a long time, otherwise they would not dare to delay this time on such a day. They hurriedly put on their clothes and finished washing, and after breakfast, they came to the Temple of Heaven sacrifice located in the north of the palace. All the ministers had already been waiting there.
The Temple of Heaven is located in the north of the Imperial Palace, facing east, and the royal garden is unfolding on the back of it, which is also to its west. This is a magnificent building that combines the art of Eastern and Western architecture. The geometric grid-like road has a central axis of two kilometers, which controls the overall situation and forms a secondary axis-like layout in the local area.
Close to the west wall of the palace is the garden, and a pair of pools on the central platform reflect the magnificence of the palace. The patterned planting altars are arranged in the north and south of the pool. Outside the planting altar on the north side is a fountain path under the dense shade, leading to Swan Lake, with a deep and quiet scenery. The 100-step steps more than 20 meters wide outside the planting altar on the south side are flower beds dominated by orange trees, and on the outside is a green and turquoise lake with beautiful scenery and wide scenery, which makes people think of smoke and waves, which contrasts with the closed north side.
From the west side of the pool platform, there is an oval large pool. In the center is a bronze statue of Situ Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tanghe Empire, riding a horse and swinging his sword. The fountains around the pool sprayed a column of water more than ten meters high, and the water droplets scattered in the air, forming scenes of water mist, which fluttered with the wind, making the riding statue in the middle appear sacred and inviolable, making people think of worshiping.
Wufeng silently stared at the statue in front of him, and felt infinite emotion in his heart. Looking back hundreds of years ago, the founder of the Tanghe Empire rose from a small prince, and after countless wars and conspiracies, he finally established the most powerful empire on the Laya continent at that time. How heroic the history of his life was. Look at the current empire. Thinking of this, looking at the rising sun from the east, Wufeng felt like he was in a diminishing feeling.
The Temple of Heaven is a round dome structure with magnificent sculptures and magnificent shapes. The cone top with its head raised to the sky. Under the bath of the sun, all the ministers present are dazzling and intoxicated.
The following ceremony of sacrifice to heaven was quite complicated, lengthy and boring. The royal family members took turns to appear on stage. The princes with different ideas all showed solemn and solemn appearances in front of their fathers and ministers. Just when Wufeng was bored, the etiquette officer who came to the altar to announce the end of the ceremony completely attracted his attention.
The high-rise court bun doesn't look dull at all, but it's a little more noble. The picturesque face contains a cold charm like frost. Especially the high nose bridge makes people know that this is a woman with extremely strong will. The eyes like deep eyebrows like a distant mountain are full of charm. The wide court dress makes everyone, including the ministers, feel very regretful, just because the robe is too wide, that it is impossible to see the true figure of this peerless and charming person who is above.
When Wufeng asked about the identity of this woman, Liao Qichang, the head of Jiangnan County of the Empire next to him, looked Wufeng up and down three times as if he had seen a rare object. When Wufeng was extremely embarrassed, he told Wufeng that she was Zhu Zimei, the granddaughter of the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, who was as famous as Angel and Situ Yushuang.
Wufeng suddenly realized that no wonder he could fall in love with all living beings. How could he be so beautiful? It turned out to be her. Although she already has one of the three famous flowers in the imperial capital, she has no chance to see the other two famous flowers. Today, she can see her beauty on such an occasion, and it is not in vain that she has stood here stupidly like a bird in the morning for most of the day.
All his spirits were placed on the etiquette officer who was more than ten meters away. Wufeng finally found the main purpose of coming today. In front of everyone, it was indeed a rare beauty to admire this beautiful woman with a relaxed and indulgent attitude.
