Volume 1 Chapter 101 Attacking the Capital
Little Guazi outside the carriage quickly replied: "Your Majesty, there are still two hundred miles to go. Looking at the speed, we will arrive early tomorrow morning."
"Well, tell the troops to speed up. We will try to get back to the capital before the New Year!"
"Yes!" Xiao Guazi agreed quickly.
Xiang Yun always felt a little uneasy. As an emperor, it was not good to leave the capital for too long.
Although the three prime ministers did not bring any bad news, Xiang Yun was still a little worried.
Originally, he had not planned to lead the army in person to fight so far, but he became more and more angry and satisfied as he fought along the way, and he always felt a sense of grievance in his heart. What he had said in jest had now become true, and he really came to this capital.
Now that he was already here, Xiang Yun decided to simply destroy the Mahayana Kingdom and incorporate the entire country into the territory of the Great Sun Dynasty.
There were no women allowed in the army. After Xiang Yun had been intimate with the little girl Lingzhi for a few days, he ordered people to escort her and Master Jikong to Jingu City and settle them there, allowing them to wait for the triumphant return of the imperial army.
In fact, Xiang Yun wanted to keep the Ganoderma lucidum, otherwise the journey would be so boring. However, for the sake of the health of all the soldiers, he had to compromise.
After Xiang Yun conquered Baozha City, he continued to advance, conquering Saizhuoma City, Youma City, Huangjin City, crossing the Mother River, and then conquering Jade City, Conch City... and seventeen other cities.
The army killed their way forward, like a sharp spear piercing through the Mahayana Kingdom. Wherever they went, under the might of the Sun Cannon, every city had no power to resist and surrendered one after another.
Xuanyuan Dabing and Guo Xuan had rushed over to join Xiang Yun after he attacked Baozha City. Xuanyuan Dabing managed to capture Yumu City. The city gates flew out after a blast from the Big Sun Cannon. The soldiers in the city did not dare to resist at all.
However, no one stayed in the city to manage it. After all, the troops he brought were not enough to suppress the entire city. Xuanyuan Dabing had no choice but to abandon the city and leave.
Guo Xuanze was not as lucky as Xuanyuan Dabing. After a cannon shot, the gate of Luotong City flew away, but the city lord was also angered.
As a result, the Lord of Luotong City rushed out with a large army to kill him. There were tens of thousands of troops. Even if the Japanese rifles were powerful, they could not deal with so many people. He had no choice but to flee with his subordinates.
Guo Xuan and his companions were chased by the Lord of Luotong City and his troops for three days and three nights, and they traveled a total of three hundred miles before they escaped.
Guo Xuan had no choice but to turn around and head towards Baozha City to catch up with Xiang Yun’s main force.
In fact, it was the same for Xiang Yun. As more and more cities were attacked, there was no one left to guard and manage the city, so the battle was the same as no battle. Xiang Yun led his army like prying open the city gate to pass through.
However, all the soldiers in these cities were captured by Xiang Yun, and they had to either flee to other cities or choose to die.
After Xiang Yun left with his large army, the people in these cities continued to live their lives, but they closed the city gates, cutting off the retreat of Xiang Yun and others.
The people in other surrounding cities had already received the king's order and immediately gathered their troops to besiege Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun only brought an army of more than 200,000 troops. Such a force was simply too weak. Even the garrison of any city in the Mahayana Kingdom was more than this.
It’s easy to solve it!
This is what the king of Mahayana Kingdom thought, but he ignored the three hundred big sun cannons in Xiang Yun's hands. All under the cannonballs is justice, and no city can stop Xiang Yun.
As they conquered one city after another, the army assembled by the lords of nearby cities could not catch up with Xiang Yun's troops at all, and they were always falling behind.
Now Xiang Yun is about to reach the capital of Mahayana Kingdom with an army of more than 200,000. The reinforcements from various Mahayana Kingdom chasing after him number nearly four million when combined.
The people in the Mahayana Kingdom were all in panic, fearing that their country would be destroyed, but the king of the Mahayana Kingdom was not panicked at all.
Royal Palace
King Jim was now leisurely enjoying the service of his maids, with his charming concubine in his arms, and dozens of gorgeous dancers in tulle dancing in front of him. They looked graceful and extremely attractive. There was also a special musician band playing music and singing beside them, and he was having a great time.
His beloved concubine brought a glass of fine wine to Emperor Jim, wiped his mouth, and then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor of the Great Sun Dynasty is about to lead his army to invade the capital. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Emperor Jim is a fat man who is 1.65 meters tall and weighs 200 kilograms. Although he is dressed gorgeously, the two mustaches on his face make him look nothing like the word "heroic" or "mighty". Instead, his whole body reveals a foolish temperament.
Emperor Jim hugged his beloved concubine and said confidently: "How can I be afraid of a young guy like him? He has only been the emperor for a few months, but I have been the emperor for more than 20 years. It is wishful thinking for him to defeat me!"
"Your Majesty is truly wise and powerful!" The beloved concubine immediately praised him, and then changed the subject: "But I heard that the little emperor has a powerful weapon in his hand, which is unstoppable. I am not afraid that Your Majesty will not be defeated, but just in case. If he really breaks into the capital, what should we do..."
“Hahaha!” Emperor Jim said indifferently, “Don’t worry, my beloved concubine. I will deal with him just like an old man playing with a naughty boy. If he has the guts to enter my territory, he will never be able to return alive!”
Seeing that his beloved concubine was still so worried, Emperor Jim explained: "Let me tell you the truth. No matter how strong that little emperor is or how powerful his weapons are, he will never be able to break through the capital of our Mahayana Kingdom!"
"Not only is the wall of our capital city a hundred meters high, it is also extremely strong. It has survived battles of all sizes over the past thousand years without being damaged or broken. It is the most powerful barrier!
There were two million troops waiting in the capital, and four million troops were chasing after the little emperor!
He only has 200,000 soldiers. No matter how powerful the weapons in his hands are, they can never be more powerful than my army of 6 million!"
Emperor Jim smiled and said, "Six million, even if we put them there for them to chop, it would take them three days and three nights to chop them all off. And we only need to spit a mouthful of saliva each to drown them all!"
After these words came out, the concubine's expression finally eased a little. Emperor Jim immediately picked her up and put her on his body, sneering: "I have been planning the Great Sun Dynasty for so many years, so how could I not have some backup plans? You are just scared by those servants who worry about nothing all day long!"
"Come on, I'm in the mood, be more self-conscious!"
The beloved concubine's face froze, then she continued to smile and squatted down.
The maids serving on the side, the dancers who were still dancing, and even the musicians all stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads, and slowly left the room.
The next morning, Xiang Yun's troops were less than five miles away from the capital of the Mahayana Kingdom. From afar they could see the tall and majestic city wall, which was a hundred meters high and surrounded the entire capital. It was majestic and spectacular.
Compared with it, the city walls of the capital of the Great Sun Dynasty are like a baby seeing a barbarian, there is a world of difference between the two.
More than 200,000 troops were stationed, and 300 large Japanese cannons were deployed and aimed at the city walls of the capital.
Everything was ready. Xiang Yun walked out of the carriage, stretched, then rode his warhorse forward.
Looking at this tall city wall from afar, I couldn't help but secretly gasp: "What a bastard, building the capital like this, how afraid are they of a rebellion by the people in their country!"
Xuanyuan Dabing came over at this time and reported: "Your Majesty, everything is ready, we can start the attack!"
Xiang Yun looked at the city wall in front of him and felt a little unsure. It was too damn thick, and it was made of huge square stones. Each stone was two or three meters wide.
Xiang Yun doubted whether this kind of building was built by humans. It was a masterpiece of nature, just like the pyramids in previous lives, and it was difficult to explain by science.
Xiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let all the Sun Cannons aim at one point and fire a round first!"
Xuanyuan Dabing took the order and retreated. Not long after, loud artillery fire was heard. Three hundred shells were fired and all hit one point.
A large amount of explosion sparks suddenly appeared on the huge city wall in the distance, and thick black smoke rose up.
Not long after, the black smoke dissipated, and Xiang Yun slapped his thigh and cursed inwardly: "I knew it!"
On the city wall, there was only a large area of charred black where it was bombarded, and there was no damage at all.
Obviously, the huge Japanese cannon, which was as useful as ever, was useless in front of the city wall of the capital and lost its overwhelming effect.
However, their army of more than 200,000 had no siege equipment and was now in a dead end.
Xuanyuan Dabing hurried over and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Sun Cannon has no effect at all. What should we do now?"
"You just keep asking questions. Can't you use your brains? If you have to ask me, the emperor, for advice on everything, then what do I need you guys for!" Xiang Yun cursed angrily, obviously very angry.
"Oh!" Xuanyuan Dabing touched his head and walked away in a daze. It was obvious that he didn't pay attention and didn't dare to anger Xiang Yun again.
Xiang Yun's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "The entire army will advance four miles!"
All the troops followed the order and advanced, stopping when they were only one mile away from the city wall of the capital of Mahayana Kingdom.
Xiang Yun pointed at the tightly closed city gate in the distance and said, "All the Sun cannons aim at that city gate and fire another round at me!"
The city walls of the capital are tall and the city gates are large, about twenty meters high and ten meters wide, very spacious.
Xiang Yun just didn't believe that your city gate could be stronger than the city wall.
If I can't break down my city wall, can't I break down your broken city gate?
Sure enough, three hundred shells exploded at the same time. After one round of bombardment, the twenty-meter-high city gate was directly blown away, and a large number of Mahayana Kingdom’s city guards behind the city gate were also blown away.
It was a bloody mess, and it was obvious that there were heavy casualties.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and Xiang Yun could clearly see the densely packed army inside the city gate.
A large number of enemy soldiers armed with bows and arrows also appeared on the walls of the capital. Unfortunately, Xiang Yun and others were a full mile away from the wall, and ordinary bows and arrows could not reach them at all. They could only watch.
“Kill! Kill!”
"Destroy these remnant troops of the Great Sun Dynasty! Capture their emperor alive and kill him~!"
The next moment, shouts of killing were heard throughout the capital. A large number of enemy troops armed with weapons rushed out from the city gates and rushed towards their army of more than 200,000. The army was powerful and it was obvious that they were all elite troops of the country.
