Chapter 921 Unstoppable Momentum!
Meanwhile, in Qianyuan County, with the fall of Nangong Tianxia, the pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty, the sky of Qianyuan County seemed to be shrouded in a thick gloom. The once sturdy city walls were as fragile as sandcastles under the raging tide of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers.
The Yellow Turban Army's banners stood tall, and its brownish-yellow torrent swept across every inch of land. Wherever it went, flames of war raged and war drums thundered, heralding the end of one era and the beginning of another chaotic one.
Meng Zhang stood atop the city wall of Qianyuan City, his gaze sharp as he looked into the distance. His face showed no joy of victory, only profound silence.
The death of Nangong Tianxia stirred a ripple in his heart, but the cruelty of the battlefield did not allow him to be sentimental. He quickly buried this emotion in his heart and instead gave orders.
"Immediately march north and strike straight at Qiandu!"
With the order to march north given, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, like unleashed dragons, advanced northward with unstoppable momentum.
Towns and villages along the way were all overwhelmed by this torrent, none of them able to withstand its onslaught.
Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, seemingly endless and overwhelming, shouted slogans and swept through passes and generals with unstoppable momentum.
Lu Fa and Si Yan, leading the remaining elite troops, retreated all the way, not daring to confront the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers head-on, their hearts filled with bitterness.
They had imagined countless possibilities for the battlefield, but they never expected the situation to deteriorate so rapidly.
Lufa, a veteran who had been through countless battles, frowned deeply, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.
He knew that every step they took back now was a loss of territory for the Great Qian Dynasty, but faced with the Yellow Turban Army's overwhelming offensive, preserving their strength and waiting for an opportunity seemed to be the only option.
"General Lufa, when will this end?"
Si Yan's voice was weary. The continuous battles of the past few days had left him physically and mentally exhausted. Looking at the Yellow Turban army that was constantly approaching in the distance, he felt powerless.
"Your Highness, the only thing we can do now is to delay the Yellow Turban Army's advance as much as possible, so as to buy more time for the capital to prepare its defenses."
"The future of the Great Qian Dynasty does not lie in the gains or losses of a single city or battle, but in whether we can preserve the flame and regroup."
Lu Fa sighed, patted Si Yan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, a trace of sorrow flashed in Si Yan's eyes. Although Lu Fa's words were cruel, they were the reality.
The hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in Luzhou advanced at an astonishing speed, sweeping through everything in their path and winning battle after battle!
Although some people saw an opportunity in this chaotic world, some local forces began to stir, trying to get a share of the spoils in the chaos.
However, faced with the iron hooves of the Yellow Turban Army, they quickly realized that they were just trying to stop a chariot with their bare hands, and they chose to surrender or flee, adding even more ferocity to the already aggressive Yellow Turban Army!
Along the way, the Yellow Turban Army captured dozens of cities, and their advance was aimed directly at the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty—Qiandu!
...
Meanwhile, in Qiandu, which was highly anticipated by Lu Fa and Si Yan, etc.
The joint operation between the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion and the Qianfu Left Guard, and the sudden betrayal and battle outside Qiantian Gate, were like lightning in a storm—swift and deadly.
With the defeat of Qianlong Left Guard, the city gate gradually fell silent, leaving only devastation and the lingering smell of blood in the air.
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion, whose tiger heads on their armor looked even more ferocious under the moonlight, quickly formed ranks and stood shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers of the Qianfu Left Guard, jointly controlling this city gate that symbolized the majesty of the dynasty.
As the main gate of Qiandu, the imperial city of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Qiantian Gate is unique in its complex structure and formidable defenses.
The city gate consisted of two layers of heavy iron gates, with a narrow passage in between. The passage was equipped with hidden arrow holes and mechanisms on both sides. Once an enemy attacked, a barrage of arrows could be fired, and the mechanisms would be activated, instantly turning the invaders into dust.
However, faced with the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion's attack from the inside out, these defensive measures became useless, and the seemingly impregnable city gate changed hands in a short period of time.
"Quickly clear the battlefield, inspect the city gate mechanisms, and ensure everything is in perfect order!"
Yin Jingyi's voice echoed in the night sky. Standing atop the city gate, his gaze was sharp as he surveyed the busy soldiers below.
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion acted swiftly, not only clearing the battlefield but also carefully inspecting every mechanism of the city gate to ensure that the gate was firmly in their hands.
"Divide your forces into four groups, each heading towards the east, south, west, and north gates. Take control of the entire situation as quickly as possible!"
With Cui Hao's advice and strategies, Yin Jingyi quickly issued new orders.
His Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion immediately split into four routes, like four iron torrents, heading towards the four gates of the imperial city. Each gate experienced a battle similar to that of Qian Tian Gate, but the ferocity of the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion and the support of the Qianfu Left Guard made everything go smoothly.
Soon, all four city gates were brought under control, and the four vital passages of the imperial city fell into Yin Jingyi's hands.
"Close the city gates and block all entry and exit routes!"
Yin Jingyi's voice rang out again. As the order was given, the iron gates of the four city gates slowly closed, making a dull sound, as if it were a sigh from the entire imperial city.
Once the city gates were closed, the imperial city was isolated from the outside world, becoming an isolated island, and Yin Jingyi was the ruler of this isolated island.
"Young Master Feng, the task of pacifying the city is entrusted to you. The Left Guard of the Qian Prefecture is responsible for maintaining order in the city, ensuring that the people remain calm and that the streets remain as normal as ever."
Yin Jingyi turned to look at Feng Yuxuan, who nodded in acceptance of the order. He then led a large number of soldiers from the Qianfu Left Guard to disperse and roam the streets and alleys of the imperial city, comforting the panicked people.
Yin Jingyi, along with the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion, began to control various military strongholds within the city. Their first stop was the armory, which served as the center for military supplies for the imperial city, and its importance was self-evident.
As the most important armory in the imperial city, the arsenal stores a large number of weapons and armor. If it falls into enemy hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, as the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion soldiers poured in like a tide, they quickly took control of all the entrances and exits of the armory and subdued the craftsmen and guards inside one by one.
Yin Jingyi personally walked into the armory, and looking at the rows of sharp weapons and heavy armor, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
These will all become his powerful weapons to overthrow the dynasty and rebuild order!
Next, they went straight to the Tiangong Pavilion, which was home to the dynasty's top craftsmen and technicians, responsible for researching and developing various new weapons and mechanisms.
Not only does it manufacture all sorts of exquisite machinery, but it also hides many secret weapon design blueprints of the dynasty. Controlling the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is equivalent to controlling the future war lifeline of the dynasty!
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion surrounded the Tiangong Pavilion. Yin Jingyi personally went inside and spoke with the craftsmen and technicians in the pavilion, promising that as long as they were willing to serve him for the time being, their talents would be given greater opportunities to shine.
Faced with Yin Jingyi and the blatant "principles" held by his heavily armored tiger-headed soldiers, the craftsmen and technicians had their doubts, but under Yin Jingyi's coercion and enticement, they ultimately chose to submit.
With control of the armory and the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion, Yin Jingyi felt even more confident and led the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion straight towards the imperial city at the very center of Qiandu.
The soldiers of the Tiger Head Heavy Armor Battalion marched with heavy steps through the wide streets. Their heavy tiger-head armor gleamed coldly in the moonlight, like flowing black dragons that were gradually devouring the authority of the imperial city.
