Chapter 394 Deliberately causing trouble
Amid the controversy, in the Blue Moon Capital City, King Jin Yanyi ascended the throne!
The civil and military officials of the Blue Moon Empire held a coronation ceremony for him fearfully. They originally thought that the Haotian army would take the opportunity to invade, so they specially asked the capital defenders to strengthen their vigilance, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
The Haotian army did not take advantage of the chaos to attack the capital of the Blue Moon Empire. They still surrounded but did not attack. Not only that, they also continued to keep the south gate open, allowing the citizens of the Blue Moon Empire to enter and exit freely from the south gate!
On the day King Xin ascended the throne, the Haotian army responsible for advancing from the middle of the Blue Moon Empire finally captured Tianqi City, the last important acropolis in the northern part of the Blue Moon Empire!
Haotian's middle army consists of 200,000 Zhenwei Army, 200,000 Dunwu Army, 200,000 Jinglin Army and 200,000 Haotian Imperial Guards, a total of 800,000. It starts from Tianqi City and marches south in a mighty way. , went straight to the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, and successfully joined forces with the other two armies!
At this point, Haotian's 2.3 million troops successfully joined forces outside the Blue Moon Empire's capital city, once again creating huge psychological pressure on the defenders inside the city!
It was originally thought that after the Haotian army successfully reunited, it would surround the Blue Moon capital. However, Du Long continued to let go of the south gate blockade, allowing the soldiers and civilians of the Blue Moon Empire to enter and exit freely!
With King Xin officially ascending the throne, the people of the capital who were still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude, and the enthusiastic young people who volunteered for the motley army finally no longer had any illusions and started to escape from the capital of the Blue Moon Empire!
For a country that does not need to devote itself to it, the consequences of the loss of popular morale and military morale can be imagined!
It is necessary to re-introduce the situation of the Blue Moon Empire's capital garrison. The east gate and south gate of the Blue Moon Empire's capital are garrisoned by 200,000 imperial guards respectively, and the west gate and north gate are garrisoned by 200,000 navy regiments!
The number of troops stationed at the four gates reached 800,000. In addition, another 100,000 troops were transferred from the southeast and southwest war zones. As a result, the number of troops garrisoning the Blue Moon Capital City reached one million!
In addition, there are 50,000 imperial guards stationed inside the Blue Moon Capital Palace!
Everyone knows that the Zhenhai Regiment originally did not have 400,000 people, but only a few hundred thousand regular regiments. Then, on the way to the capital, hundreds of thousands of volunteers gathered under the Zhenhai Regiment!
With the approval of former emperor Jin Yanzhen, he recruited more than 200,000 young adults from these volunteers to join the Zhenhai Regiment, and dispersed his own army of more than 100,000 people, taking some volunteers with them respectively. Conduct intensive military training!
In other words, the more than 200,000 newly recruited troops of the Zhenhai Regiment are recognized by the empire and have military supplies, while other volunteers who have not been recruited into the Zhenhai Regiment can only replenish supplies at their own expense.
For this reason, General Zhenhai applied to the Military Aircraft Department many times, hoping to apply for material supplies for those volunteers. Unfortunately, how could the Military Aircraft Department, which was controlled by the four major families, satisfy his request?
The answer from the Military Aircraft Department is that the limited food and grass cannot be wasted on these ordinary people. Otherwise, once the people in the capital follow suit and only receive military food without working hard, the military food stored in the capital may be unsustainable!
Therefore, those volunteers who did not obtain formal military establishment did not receive any subsidies and could only rely on their own little money to maintain their lives. Their enthusiasm was quickly extinguished by the cruel reality!
After learning that the South City Gate was open for free travel, almost all of these volunteers, composed of ordinary people or rangers, ran away. Since you are full of blood and are just a puddle of shit in the eyes of others, why bother to be cheap to yourself? !
At this point, there are only more than 200,000 volunteers absorbed by the Zhenhai Regiment in the entire Blue Moon Empire capital city, and they are all recruits with insufficient training and lack of actual combat experience!
As for the 400,000 imperial guards, half of them are controlled by the four major families, and the other 200,000 are jointly controlled by the Zheng, Yin, and Ai families. As for the 200,000 troops drawn back from the southeast and southwest, they belong to the reserve army and are also controlled. In the hands of the clan that destroyed the Marine Corps!
Calculated, the entire army guarding the city was only under the control of the emperor, which numbered more than 200,000 men. However, because the three spiritual masters were on his side, a weak balance was formed between the two sides!
In the Haotian Commander's camp, the generals of the three armies gathered together. On the commander's seat, Du Long, the young commander, sat on him without any hesitation. Behind him stood two heroic female generals in silver-white military uniforms. They were his two fiancée!
In addition, there are three special seats next to the coach's seat, on which sit three spiritual beings from the Haotian Empire. Naturally, they are the old emperor and Du and Wei!
These three Haotian Spirit-level masters were all listening in the commander's tent this time, and they did not raise any opinions from the beginning to the end. After this battle, Du Long's performance was obvious to all, and they were completely relieved.
"Marshal! May I ask why the three armies gathered here but did not launch an attack on the capital of the Blue Moon Empire? Instead, they continued to open the south gate and allowed the soldiers and civilians in the capital to enter and exit freely?!" Kang Tuo, the commander of the Guided First Army With a puzzled look on his face, he asked everyone's doubts.
"The reason is very simple, it's the same sentence! If we attack with all our strength, we can conquer the capital of the Blue Moon Empire. However, facing the millions of Blue Moon troops who are determined to die, even if we can conquer it, we will probably pay a heavy price. The price! This is what I don't want to see!" Du Long nodded and answered directly.
"Oh?! May I ask if the Marshal already has a perfect plan?!" the Prairie King asked.
"Hehe! I dare not say that there is a perfect strategy, but I am somewhat certain! Du Long can only say that I will win this decisive battle in the Blue Moon Capital City with as few casualties as possible! This battle is related to the life and death of the two empires, so I have to be cautious Let's do it!" Du Long scratched his head and laughed.
…
At this moment, the capital of the Blue Moon Empire can be described as chaotic. The houses in the city are empty, and most people only have people who are not afraid of death left in their homes to protect their homes!
There are only ten taverns and nine shops in the city. Only a small number of people take the risk to continue to make war fortunes there, raising the prices to a prohibitive level.
Throughout the city, most of the people running back and forth were soldiers from various legions, and most of the people who patronized the taverns were soldiers!
Due to the complexity of the legions in the city, not all legions have as strict military discipline as the Zhenhai Legion. As long as the battle horn is not blown, there will be no one to control these soldiers when they slip out occasionally.
On Jianlong Street, there is a tavern named Changsheng. The tavern is bustling with people at this moment. This relatively low-end tavern is already filled with soldiers from various legions.
Sitting at the window on the second floor of the tavern were a group of soldiers wearing the standard armor of the Guards. The armor on these people was crooked. Some people thought that the helmets were in the way, so they put them on the table or threw them directly on the ground. They looked like soldiers. of virtue.
"Look, look, look! Here comes another group of recruits from the Zhenhai Regiment!" A red-faced, alcoholic captain of the Imperial Guard patted the window and pointed at a group of Zhenhai Regiment approaching from a distance. Legion patrol soldiers.
His voice was so loud that it naturally reached the ears of all the members of the Zhenhai patrol team patrolling below. Although all the soldiers in the patrol team had angry looks on their faces, they chose to ignore these guards officers and continue to move forward. .
It has not been a day or two since they encountered this kind of thing. They have already received strict orders from their superiors not to conflict with soldiers from other legions. The goal of their patrols is to supervise the internal problems of the Zhenhai Regiment, not to meddle in the other legions' business. !
"Hahaha! They are indeed a group of weaklings trained by the Zhenhai Corps. They rely on these soft-footed shrimps to defend the capital. Isn't that a waste of food?!"
"Hahaha..." Behind the window on the second floor, bursts of unbridled ridicule immediately sounded.
In the Changsheng Tavern, not only the soldiers of the Royal Guards in the window on the second floor were loudly laughing at the patrols of the Zhenhai Regiment below, but also the soldiers of other regiments in the tavern also followed suit!
To be honest, within the capital, the strict military discipline of the Zhenhai Regiment, which not only prohibits subordinates from drinking, but also does not allow people to run into the streets to disturb the people, is somewhat incompatible with the management of other legions!
Under the instigation of some thoughtful people, soldiers from other legions began to subconsciously provoke the patrol team of the Zhenhai Regiment. All kinds of obscene remarks came out in an endless stream. The soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment could not bear the humiliation for a long time!
Snapped!
I saw one of the soldiers from the Zhenhai Patrol finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took off his helmet and threw it heavily on the ground. He pointed at the guards soldiers at the window and cursed angrily: "I x you damn forbidden soldiers! Who are you?" Is it a soft-footed shrimp? Who is a soft-legged shrimp that wastes military rations?! Those of you who ignore military discipline all day long and come out to drink and make trouble will probably turn into real soft-footed shrimps once the war comes, right?!"
"Hey, hey, hey! This new recruit actually dares to scold our entire Guards Corps! Has he really taken advantage of his ambition?! Brothers, smash this son of a bitch to death..." Someone immediately stood up. The Guards soldier encouraged angrily, and then took the lead in throwing down the pot of hot soup on the table.
With a clang, the pot of hot soup hit the Zhenhai patrol team. For a moment, the scalding hot soup and broken porcelain pieces scattered in all directions, knocking out several patrol soldiers of the Zhenhai regiment who were the first to be hit. Call.
"Brothers! We are here to serve the country, not to be humiliated by these scum!" The patrol team of the Zhenhai Regiment finally broke out.
Although their captain tried his best to comfort them, unfortunately, what was the use of comforting them when the crowd was so angry?
More than a dozen patrol members picked up some hard objects such as stones from the street, and started to fight back, throwing them back to the second floor of Changsheng Tavern. In this way, it exploded on the spot!
After stones and the like were thrown onto the second floor, many flew in from the windows, affecting several people in other seats in the hall on the second floor. For a while, people who were watching the excitement joined in the melee.
From the second floor of Changsheng Tavern, things like bowls and basins were thrown down one after another, and large hard objects such as tables and chairs were also thrown down from the back, smashing more than a dozen patrol officers of the Zhenhai Regiment. There must be blood flowing!
"Damn it! Brothers! Fuck them, kill them!" Finally, the soldiers of the Zhenhai Regiment couldn't bear it anymore. They picked up the crossbows on their backs, then pointed them at the second floor window and shot out.
"Ah! These damn Shock Marine Corps soldiers actually dare to touch these guys! Brothers, stop being polite to them! Fuck them all and kill them!" After several people were shot and wounded in succession, the soldiers of each legion on the second floor finally fired back.
With the advantage of being at a commanding height, and some people's deliberate preparations, after just a few rounds of shooting, all the dozen members of the Zhenhai regiment's patrol team fell down.
Almost all of them were hit by arrows in vital parts, and they were almost dead. However, one guy among them was 'lucky' not to be shot in the vital parts, and escaped by pretending to be dead and lying on the ground!
Seeing the loss of life, all the soldiers of various legions in the entire Changsheng Tavern fled from this place of right and wrong. They would not stay here stupidly waiting to be caught.
