Chapter 1245
The arrival of the Tiger Wing Army was almost a fatal blow to the city guards. The entire Ximen had completely lost control. When Bayinzhuo's First Ranger Regiment launched a full counterattack on the entire western front, Ximen fell into the control of the Imperial Guards again. So when the Tiger Wing Army jumped off the transport vehicle outside the imperial capital, the entire Ximen's Imperial Guards could not help but cheer.
The Tiger Wing Army, who had been in the Imperial Capital for more than half a year, is very familiar to them. In addition to the Golden Peng Banner of the Western Army, the Tiger Winged Flying Tiger, which represents the Tiger Winged Army, grinned, as if roaring in the wind, declaring that the infantry reinforcements of the Western Army have also arrived, and the situation in the imperial capital will enter a new stage.
The huge cheers from the west gate made Yusufu, who had been restless, feel inexplicably panic again. All fronts seemed to be not going smoothly. Although the Third Legion, which was already tied to a chariot, was completely engaged in the battle, the combat effectiveness of the Third Legion was indeed terrible. It repeatedly launched attacks but was smashed by the Imperial Guards' unceremonious counterattack. Except for the corpses and wounded soldiers who were carried down, Yusufu almost never saw the Third Legion achieve even a little worthy of battle results.
However, the joining of the Imperial Guards has greatly boosted the morale of the Imperial Guards. The impact brought by the Western Frontier Rangers is not only substantial, but psychologically makes the city guards a little nervous. Although inertia still makes them continue to fight, the fanaticism and impulse at the time have gradually faded away, and instead they gradually rise up uneasy. The war has lasted for a whole day and two nights, and the war has not yet achieved substantial breakthroughs, while the enemy reinforcements are increasing. Everyone knows that the more the war drags on, the enemy reinforcements will be more and more powerful. The flame of hope seems to slowly fade over time.
But when he reached this point, Yusufu had no choice but to go. Now even if he wanted to withdraw his troops and flee, he had no chance. The entire warring sides were completely stalemate, and no one could retreat. He could only rush up until death. At this time, the battle had become a pure mutual consumption, and both sides seemed to have been wiped out by this kind of battle.
At this time, the Tiger Wing Army's forced intrusion was undoubtedly a sudden push in the stalemate between the two sides, and the battle situation immediately showed an explosive reversal. Song Tianxiong was almost the first wing of the Tiger Wing Army to break into the battle. The soldiers on both sides who had been stalemate for too long in the dull war did not realize the huge impact of this fresh blood.
Song Tianxiong didn't even have time to contact the Imperial Guard and rushed into the battlefield. At this time, it would be a waste to delay more time without intention. Song Tianxiong was never willing to waste time on such procedures. He believed that these people in the Imperial Guard should understand what they were doing at this time.
The joining of the Tiger Wing Army almost immediately set off a counterattack on the Ximen Front. Song Tianxiong took the lead and personally launched a fierce attack on the city guards, which had been exhausted for dozens of hours in a row. Several assault clusters almost instantly stabbed the city guards that were still in a stalemate with the Imperial Guards, as if they were rolling up a rush on the entire front, and with an unstoppable momentum, it suddenly defeated the city guards' offensive, and there was no chance to turn into a defensive posture.
Song Tianxiong knew that this was the best time to have the opportunity. Only when the city guards were confused by his fierce attack could they achieve the best effect of breakthroughs. He almost ordered all assault clusters to advance regardless of everything, and then the follow-up troops would expand the results. Just like a few surging drills, they plunged deep into the front of the city guards, and became more and more crazy, causing a violent stir, tearing the entire city guards apart in the western front, and even leading to the collapse of the entire front.
The city guards' final performance at this moment was immediately revealed, and they were swept through the fierce impact of the Tiger Wing Army. The entire Western Front collapsed one after another without any obstacles. Although the city guards could not form an organized offensive, they still launched an offensive with this courage and fanaticism. However, they were immediately completely defeated in front of this wave of new forces. The torrent of retreat even came faster than their offensives, one stream brought one stream, just like contagion. In just one hour, the reversal of the Western Front was irreversible.
When Yusufu stood among the surging defeated soldiers and watched all this in front of him, he had no other thoughts. He knew that he had bet on this mistake and had no room for regret. In fact, he had decided his destiny by obeying the instigation of the nobles of the imperial capital, but he had never accepted his fate and wanted to take this opportunity to fight again. However, God seemed unwilling to give himself this opportunity. He had no other complaints.
The retreat on the Western Front quickly caused a chain reaction on the Eastern Front. The defeated soldiers of the City Guards and the Third Legion were almost mixed together like a torrent toward the north and rushed towards the direction they entered the city. Tens of thousands of troops squeezed together to compete for the gates of the city, like a group of livestock driven by hunters, running forward regardless of everything.
No matter how big the gate of the imperial capital was, it could not accommodate tens of thousands of troops rushing out of the city suddenly. This result could only lead to a more miserable ending than the war. Tens of thousands of people were crowded under the northern gate of the imperial capital, trampling on each other, fighting for the way out of the city, and even in order to seize a better position, countless soldiers did not die in fighting with their opponents, but fell at the swords and guns of their comrades. The statistics afterwards were even more terrifying. There were more than 6,000 soldiers who died of trampling on the northern gate alone, which was almost unprecedented in history. Even many years later, the residents living by the northern gate even vaguely heard the screams that night.
There is no suspense when the war has come to this point. When the Tiger Wing Army ushered in the sunrise with great confidence, Ma Yuanheng took the initiative to formally hand over the city defense power of the four gates of the Imperial Capital City to Song Tianxiong, and expressed his intention to resign as commander of the Imperial Guards. However, under Song Tianxiong's strong request, he temporarily held the power of commander of the Imperial Guards.
Bayinzhuo's first Ranger Regiment was finally relieved when tens of thousands of defeated soldiers escaped from the imperial capital. The best safari for Rangers was the best place for Rangers. The three 10,000-person rangers split into action and attacked, and immediately let the defeated soldiers taste the power of the Western Frontier Rangers. However, these defeated soldiers were too conscious of the current affairs, and almost did not give Bayinzhuo much chance to taste the taste of massacre and surrender one after another, which made Bayinzhuo very regretful.
When Yusufu's body was carried to Song Tianxiong, except for a faint regret, Song Tianxiong found that he could not find any hatred for this guy. After all, he was once the supreme boss of himself and His Highness the King of Qin. Now countless generals of the Western Frontier Army are either from the City Guards or under his command. It is really embarrassing that fate is so teasing people. The former supreme boss is now dead at his feet. Isn't this a irony?
It seemed that he had already expected his fate. As the commander of the city guards, he maintained his self-esteem and demeanor before his death. Yusufu did not give anyone a chance. He took a dose of intestinal poison and let him pass away silently. Such an ending was both unexpected but reasonable.
The blood of the two nights finally ushered in a sunny sunny weather. Although the noise and boiling shouts of killing have passed, the imperial capital was already scared by the atmosphere filled with murderous aura. There were still few people in the imperial capital who dared to open their doors to see all this. The spread of war has burned a considerable number of buildings in the North and West districts. Refugees wandering on the streets stared at their homes that had turned into ashes. They have lost their thinking ability and don’t know how to survive such a severe winter. What will be waiting for them?
Although he had taken over the defense of the imperial capital, Song Tianxiong was still in no way confident. The imperial city was still defended by the Yulin Army. Situ Mingzhao had already come to discuss with Song Tianxiong. Before he received the instructions of the Qin Palace far away in Hanzhong, Song Tianxiong also did not know what kind of responsibility he should perform. But one thing he knew was that it was very important to stabilize the situation in the imperial capital as soon as possible and prevent the occurrence of robbery after the war.
The functions of the Imperial Capital Police Department were not cancelled. Xue Baiying almost immediately began to carry out the orders of Song Tianxiong, who gradually entered the role of the city defense commander. After completing their special tasks, the Imperial Gendarmerie also began to patrol the streets. With the cooperation of the First Rangers, the Tiger Wing Army not only temporarily detained tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, but also had to shoulder the defense of the four gates.
The imperial guards, whose emotions were still not very stable, stayed in their own barracks under the constraints of Ma Yuanxing, waiting for the time to decide their destiny. In two days and two nights, they had witnessed that an old dynasty had fallen and replaced it with a brand new empire, but what should their destiny be?
