When Li Xin rushed to the vicinity of the imperial city, the time had already entered the middle of the hour, and the sky was almost bright, and when he ran along Desheng Street, Li Xin saw the corpses of Yu Linwei all over the ground, and frowned slightly.

However, his speed did not stop, all the way to the imperial city, at this time the Hanzhou army had already resisted the rain of arrows on the tower of Yong'an Gate, blasted open Yong'an Gate with gunpowder, and poured into the imperial city.

The imperial city is divided into two cities, the outer city is the place where the imperial court offices, and the inner city is the real imperial city, the heavenly house, Li Xin quickly entered the Yong'an Gate, directly in the Hanzhou army, and found Mu Ying.

Each of the three guards of the Son of Heaven has only more than 3,000 people, and the three guards together are about 10,000 people, plus the Yulin Guards have almost been killed and wounded, and the Qianniu Guards and internal guards in the imperial city together are less than 6,000 people.

The Southwest Army, which entered the imperial city, numbered more than 20,000 people.

If there were no firearms, as the most elite Praetorian Guard of the Great Jin Dynasty, more than 6,000 people could block the 20,000 Hanzhou troops for a few days or even longer with the help of the city gates, but unfortunately, in the face of firearms, the city gates of this era have basically lost their effect.

As long as the Hanzhou army is willing to die, they can send enough gunpowder to the city gate and blow it up!

Moreover, most of the gunpowder reserves in the capital during this period were used for the defense of the outer city wall, and the firearms in the imperial city only had a few heavenly thunders, and even if all these heavenly thunderbolts exploded in the Hanzhou army, they could not stop the wolf-like Hanzhou army.

Li Xin stood beside Mu Ying, looked up at the soldiers of the Hanzhou Army who were trying to find a way to blast the gate of the inner city, and then asked, "How long is it expected to be able to capture the imperial city?" ”

Mu Ying looked at the progress of the siege, and said in a deep voice: "General, the forbidden troops in the capital are all stopped behind the Ningzhou army, and there are only three guards guarding the imperial city, and among the three guards, Yulin Wei and Qianniu Wei have basically been killed and wounded, only the inner guards are still holding on to the inner city, according to the current progress, at most one hour, our army can take the inner city!" ”

As the two people were talking, the fire suddenly flickered, and then a loud bang came, and both of them looked in the direction of the sound, and the inner gate of the capital between them, with this loud noise, had been directly exploded!

At the moment when the inner city gate was blown open, the vanguard battalion of the Hanzhou Army had already rushed directly into it and fought with the internal guards of the inner city.

The internal guards are the same as the Yulin guards, they are the old forbidden troops in the capital, although on the night of the Renchen Palace change, the internal guards were almost re-blooded, but the internal guards that were reorganized after that still won the trust of the two generations of emperors, and the treatment was also the best among the three guards.

At the same time, these internal guards are also the three guards with the highest loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

Among the internal guards, there is also the real Son of Heaven Guards Battalion, whose combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of Yulinwei.

This is the most elite army in the era of cold weapons, if there are no firearms, the three guards in the capital alone can block at least 20,000 to 30,000 southwest troops.

But alas, times have changed.

The offensive mode of the Hanzhou firearms battalion has been very mature, first use the advance to a distance of about fifty paces, and then the throwers bombard with heavenly thunder, and the firecrackers will come out to harvest one round, three rounds, unless the enemy is too numerous, otherwise they will basically collapse.

The number of internal guards is only 3,000.

Under the circumstance that the firearms battalion did not hesitate to use firearms, hundreds of heavenly thunderbolts exploded, and the firecrackers fired a few more volleys, and these red-clothed and red-armored internal guards basically lost their ability to resist.

And then it's just a massacre.

Li Xin was on the side, watching these killings coldly, and then said expressionlessly: "Send someone to take over Yong'anmen and all the palace gates inside and outside, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my warrant!" ”

Mu Ying immediately bowed her head: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

General Li took a deep breath and continued: "Order, the officials in the capital, big and small, must not be easily harmed, and if there is any disobedience, there will be no forgiveness. ”

Mu Ying smiled bitterly: "General, if there is chaos like this in the capital, it is inevitable that you will accidentally injure ......"

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"If you want to take root in the capital, you must do this well, otherwise even if you and I conquer the imperial city, we will only be passers-by, and in a few years, we will be kicked out by others."

He glanced at Mu Ying lightly, and his tone was calm: "In this world, not only these forbidden troops in the capital, but also thousands of people, and the territory of the entire eleventh road, how many Zhao Jia are there in my southwest?" ”

Speaking of this, Mu Ying immediately bowed her head: "The last general understands." ”

General Li continued: "Don't be too merciful, if you don't cooperate, kill on the spot, there are more people in the world, and some people are willing to be officials." ”

"The scale must be well controlled."

While the two of them were talking, a captain of the Hanzhou Army Pioneer Battalion stumbled over and bowed his hand to Li Xin and Mu Ying.

"Big ...... General, General Mu ......"

He was extremely excited, and took a few breaths before he eased up, and stumbled and said, "The inner city is broken!" ”

"The defenders of the inner city of the Imperial City have been routed by our army!"

Hearing this, Mu Ying's body trembled.

Although the Southwest Army has been smooth sailing for most of the past half a year, in Mu Ying's inherent image, the imperial court has always been an unattainable behemoth, an existence that he always needs to look up to.

But now...... The imperial city of the capital was given to them by them...... Knocked down!

Mu Ying's psychological quality of leading soldiers for more than ten or nearly twenty years, the whole person couldn't help but tremble at this moment, he turned his head to look at Li Xin, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Checkmate. ”

Li Xinli was also very excited, but there was no expression on his face, he took a few deep breaths, and said, "Send a message to Luzhou......

"Let people bring the six princes into the capital."

"Inform the whole city, just say that we have conquered the imperial city, the six princes will soon ascend the throne, the forbidden army in Beijing and other armies, at this time put down their weapons, and the past is not to blame."

Mu Ying exhaled slowly, and did not immediately nod in agreement, he looked up at Li Xin, his voice still full of excitement.

"General...... At this time, is there no need to welcome the six princes into the city. ”

"According to the meaning of the last general, the general, you will ascend the throne directly, so you don't need to be so troublesome."

"It has to be so troublesome."

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes: "In this world, the surname is still Ji, from Emperor Wu to Emperor Taikang in the Great Jin Dynasty, the three generations of the Son of Heaven have no crimes, and the common people are still passable." ”

"At this time, we are in a hurry to change our name and surname, we are not here to the side of Qingjun in the capital, but to rebel."

"At that time, the Southwest Army will face the righteous army of the whole world."

Li Xin opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ying, his face calm: "Brother Mu thinks that how long can this thing hide from the world?" ”

"Five years or ten years?"

Mu Ying took a deep breath and bowed her head to Li Xin and clenched her fists: "The last general...... I see. ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted Mu Ying's shoulder, and his voice was calm: "The Southwest Army fought all the way from Hanzhong, and we had to step on the bones of our brothers to get all the way here." ”

"Brother Mu, don't worry, I will give my brothers a satisfactory explanation."

"This battle will not be fought in vain."

Mu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and clenched her fists deeply at Li Xin.

"The Admiral understands."

Li Xin nodded at him, then reached out and pressed the matching sword on his waist, and said coldly to the guards beside him: "Come with me." ”

Li Xin's more than 50 personal guards, each pressing their swords, followed behind Li Xin.

At this time, the sky was about to break, and the first rays of sunlight shone in the imperial city.

General Li stepped on this sunshine and strode towards Weiyang Palace?
