Chapter 1189 Borrowing a knife to kill
Strictly speaking, the walls of the capital are much stronger than ordinary mountains. After all, the wall bricks are made of secret techniques, and of course they are much harder than ordinary stones.
But of course Xia Fan didn't want to waste his troops on this, so when the formation spirit collapsed, the flames and the Demon Fire of Destruction both fell on the city wall.
The defenders who escaped the fate of death by luck in the violent shock just now were not so lucky this time. When the flames and the magic fire of extinction were shrouded in, they were burned into ashes without even having time to scream.
"Bang...bang..." As runes burst one after another because they could not withstand the burning of flames and the destructive fire, the spiritual light that originally enveloped the city wall bricks dissipated, and then the extremely hard city wall bricks collapsed into powder in a short period of time.
So a gap of fifty or sixty feet wide appeared on the city wall that was originally integrated, and such gap was expanding at a faster pace as the flames and the magic fire of extinction continued to burn the city walls on both sides.
"Long live!" The troops who had been waiting outside cheered excitedly when they saw this.
However, Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou did not rush to order an attack, but came to Xia Fan together. They saluted respectfully before asking how to fight the next battle.
If they were elsewhere, no matter whether they were Lu Chuan or Bu Fenghou, they could do whatever they wanted. As long as they could win the battle, no one would care about what they did.
But now that Xia Fan is here, they of course have to obey his orders.
"The formation in the city is too big. In order to avoid Liu Xingchen from jumping over the wall, he dragged the people in the city to die together with our troops. So don't attack too quickly and just advance steadily." Xia Fan was very satisfied with the two of them's obedience.
Xia Fan had already figured out how to fight before. When he heard the two people asking, he said, "When attacking, try to do everything step by step, and do not rely too closely on each unit of troops."
"After entering an area, in addition to killing and resisting forces, the formation masters in the army must also be promptly allowed to destroy the formations in the area."
"Only by completely breaking the formation in the captured area, you can continue to capture the next area. This is crucial. You must also remind your subordinates to be careful."
"The street fighting has always been a heavy casualty, not to mention that there are so many formations in the city, so be more careful not to be quick, otherwise if you enter the enemy's trap, you will not die of one person or two."
…………
Xia Fan specifically told Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou what he had encountered before, and then told them some things that must be paid attention to and would not say more.
As for how to dispatch troops and attack, with Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou's command ability, of course, you can be at ease and there is no need for Xia Fan to intervene too much.
After Lu Chuan and Bu Fenghou bowed to Xia Fan again, they returned to the army and immediately issued military orders.
The two have actually reached a tacit understanding on how to attack, and there is no overlap between the direction and area of the attack.
Teams of soldiers entered through the gap in the city wall, and then spread like a tide.
However, except for the formations within fifty miles of the city gate, all the formations were broken, there were still formations blocking the way elsewhere. In addition, the Han Dynasty army hidden in the streets and alleys of the houses made Xia Fan's troops inevitably slow down.
Because they were reminded in advance, the troops of various units did not rush to advance, but advanced steadily.
Xia Fan took back the Ten Thousand Soul Banner used to set up the formation and flew towards the palace. It was time for him and Liu Xingchen to settle the past general account.
In fact, if Xia Fan was willing, he could go to Liu Xingchen when he was traveling through the void through the Tianshi Pocket to the outside of the Zhenguo Mansion.
The reason why he didn't do that was because he came here not only to kill Liu Xingchen, but also wanted to push the Thirteenth Prince to the throne.
In this way, it is not only necessary to destroy one Liu Xingchen, but also to be recognized by the vast majority of civil and military officials in the court. Otherwise, even if the Thirteenth Prince sits on the dragon throne, he may not be able to sit safely.
Because although most of the Han Dynasty's full strength was controlled by the emperor, the officials in the court still had a lot of strength to compete with the emperor.
The Han Dynasty is still better now, and the only officials who are truly powerful are the crown prince, Sun Haoran and the left prime minister Cao Shiping. If it were the past, plus a right prime minister, it would still be very restricted on the emperor.
Xia Fan killed Liu Xingchen and pushed the Thirteenth Prince to the throne. It was natural for him, but for the officials in the court, it was completely said that the Thirteenth Prince was in a bad position. At that time, he would inevitably have to sue for such matters, and even the Thirteenth Prince's orders were silly disobeyed.
Because of this kind of status, the Emperor and the Ministers in the court had fought against each other, and other empires had also appeared.
The reasons may be diverse and the statements are different, but the essence is a game between imperial power and ministerial power.
If we reach a balance that is satisfactory in our relationship, then this game will be considered successful.
On the contrary, it may be a life-and-death battle. In the end, either the civil and military officials in the court were dismissed and beheaded, and replaced with a group of people who satisfied the emperor, or the emperor was replaced.
It is said that the emperor is arrogant and controls the universe, but in fact, it is not really possible to always do whatever he wants. This is the court of the Han Dynasty.
If Xia Fan just killed Liu Xingchen and then ascended the throne by the Thirteenth Prince, then it might trigger such an endless game.
Xia Fan really felt that it was too troublesome, and at the same time he was worried that the Thirteenth Prince would encounter any unknown dangers in the sword and sword shadows that were coming and going.
So as a senior brother, Xia Fan decided to help the thirteenth prince directly eliminate the troubles that would arise in the future before the thirteenth prince ascends to the throne.
For this reason, Xia Fan led his troops to attack the capital, and then advanced step by step, cleaning up some officials in the court who were unlikely to be on par with the Thirteenth Prince.
Anyway, when wars are in chaos, it is normal to die and destroy some families. Even if someone notices something is wrong in the future, he may not dare to say it out.
For this reason, Xia Fan specially handed over a list to Xia Xue and asked her to take the soldiers of the demons, demons and multi-armed tribes to do this dirty "work".
Xia Xue agreed very happily, and seemed quite happy and excited.
Xia Fan, who was flying towards the palace at this time, did not know that Liu Xingchen, who was in the palace at this moment, also had the same plan.
But what he wanted to do was to kill someone by borrowing a knife.
In order to allow Xia Fan's troops to help him kill some officials who he had always wanted to kill but could not find any excuses, especially those in court like the prince's grand tutor Sun Haoran and the left prime minister Cao Shiping, he deliberately closed the formations along the way so that the troops entering the city could reach the Sun's mansion and Cao's mansion faster.
Unfortunately, Liu Xingchen wasted his efforts this time. Because Xia Fan's troops were not advancing quickly. If he wanted to invade the inner city, he would probably have to wait for a long time.
At this time, a ray of light flew past the sky, but Xia Fan had already appeared above the palace.
"Liu Xingchen, come out and die." As he spoke, Xia Fan had already bombarded Liu Xingchen, who was standing in the air.
The two sides had a deep grudge and basically there was no possibility of reconciliation, so Xia Fan was too lazy to say too much to Liu Xingchen, so it would be easier to do it directly.
"Hmph!" Liu Xingchen snorted coldly, facing the fierce Suotian Tribulation, he did not hide or avoid it. He raised the red pen in his hand and looked at the oncoming Suotian Tribulation.
"Buzz..." As the buzzing sounds sounded one after another, countless lights rose from all over the capital.
Even if it is sunny and sunny at this time, the dazzling light can still be clearly seen. If you look at it on a dark night, it will definitely be even more dazzling.
And these lights are not just good-looking.
Each ray of light comes from a formation. When they light up, it indicates that a formation will operate accordingly. Then when the lights are connected together, it has extraordinary shocking power.
Now this shocking power was firmly controlled by Liu Xingchen, and exploded with the point he had just made.
"Boom..." A ray of extremely dazzling light, like a long rainbow, flew out from the tip of the pen, and then bombarded the Lock Heaven Tribulation.
When the two met, it was as if two meteorites were bombarded together, and in an instant, countless dazzling lights burst out, flying in all directions. At the same time, accompanied by the loud noise of the sky and the earth, the extremely violent shock wave swept around.
However, because at this moment, the entire capital was almost covered by formations, the damage caused by the shock wave sweeping and passing by is not particularly great.
But not all places are so lucky.
The mansions of Sun Mansion, Cao Mansion and their respective families were not so lucky.
Because Liu Xingchen had previously shut down the formations around the Sun and Cao's mansions and their fellow men's mansions in order to kill people with a knife.
These mansions are all located in the inner city, not far from the palace, not particularly close. They just happened to be covered by the power of the shock wave, and a lot of rockery, rockery, pavilions, towers and other sounds in the yard were really destroyed.
A golden light flashed, and the Lock Heaven Tribulation that had previously hit Liu Xingchen flew backwards at a faster speed, and in an instant it had already flew out five or six hundred miles away.
It can be seen how violent impact the Lock Heaven Tribulation had suffered under the collision just now.
