Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 827 An Lonely City

The east gate of Xunyang City.

Xuanyuan Lingyu, commander of the First Corps of the Central Army of the Chinese Empire, had just received a message from Lu Hao's soul and learned that Lu Hao had defeated the coalition forces of the two countries. She immediately summoned all the soldiers for a meeting.

In addition to the generals of the First Army Corps, those who came this time also included General Ding of the First Fleet of the Navy and his generals.

"General Ding, all the soldiers of the First Army, let me tell you the good news. The emperor has led the second main army of the Central Army to ambush the coalition forces of the King of Zhou and Yue in the Jilin Mountains, and defeated their 30-strong army. The army is destroyed!”

Xuanyuan Lingyu announced loudly.

What? The entire 30-strong army was destroyed?
All the soldiers were stunned and could not recover at all.

"Hahaha... Your Majesty is so powerful! An army of 30! Destroy it as soon as you say it will be destroyed! No way for the enemy to survive at all!"

General Ding laughed happily at first.

"The Emperor is mighty! The Emperor is mighty..."

All the soldiers roared in unison.

"The Emperor has now led the Second Corps of the Central Army to approach Xunyang City, and will launch a general attack on Xunyang City tomorrow. Therefore, we must cooperate with the Emperor's military operations."

"The emperor will personally command the siege tomorrow. I hope everyone will obey the order, fight the enemy bravely, and ensure that Xunyang City is conquered in one fell swoop!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu said loudly.

It is no secret that Lu Hao can use soul transmission to direct battles. This method of command is the fastest and most practical, and is a hundred times more advanced than the previous communication method.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Hao's soul power is enough to cover the entire battlefield. He is completely from a God's perspective and can deal with various complex situations at will.

"Tomorrow's formation will remain the same as before. The general will send additional submachine guns as pioneers to maintain sufficient fire suppression. Grenades and kerosene bombs can be thrown on a large scale..."

"The east gate, the south gate, and the north gate will be installed with explosive charges overnight tonight, waiting for the emperor's order. When we attack the city tomorrow, we will blow up the three large iron gates at the same time, and then fight our way into the city."

Xuanyuan Lingyu added loudly.

As he spoke, he took out a map, pointed to the red mark on it, and said loudly: "The red dots on this map are the enemy's military strongholds. After entering the city, each army will attack the one closest to them." Barracks..."

After Lu Hao obtained the military defense map of Xunyang City, he never met Xuanyuan Lingyu. These marked red dots were transmitted to her by Lu Hao's soul.

Xuanyuan Lingyu assigned more than 30 barracks, yamen and military support points to the three armies. After they entered the city, they divided their forces to attack and bloom everywhere.

When the soldiers of the Chinese Empire learned that the emperor had wiped out 30 reinforcements, and Xunyang City was now an isolated city, their morale immediately increased, their fighting spirit was high, and they wanted to start an siege immediately.

General Wu stayed up all night, thinking about how to reduce the casualties of soldiers?How many more days can it last?

……

The sky was bright and a red sun was rising, breaking through the fog and shining into the streets and alleys of Xunyang City.

Lu Hao had already led the army to set off, and it only took half an hour to arrive at the west gate of Xunyang City.

This large iron gate seems strong, but it cannot stop the army of the Chinese Empire at all.

"General Wu, the Chinese Empire's army appears at the west gate!"

His soldiers hurriedly came to report.

"What is supposed to come will eventually come! Let's go and see!"

General Wu took his sword and rushed out of the command post.

On the other side, Zheng Yuanjie, who had not slept well last night, suddenly became anxious when he heard that Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire was coming to kill him.

However, he was surprised to find that his commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard was missing.

"Where did Commander Chen go? Such a big living person? Did he just disappear?"

Zheng Yuanjie yelled at a captain of the Imperial Guard.

"To inform the Lord, after Commander Chen led his troops out of the palace last night, he never came back. Just now, General Mo sent people to his home and found that not only Commander Chen was not there, but his family was not there either."

The captain of the Imperial Guard responded with a grimace.

"What? His family isn't here? Did he run away with his family?"

Zheng Yuanjie was stunned. "The last general is also so suspicious, and the residences of the Prime Minister and General Wu are also empty."

The captain looked bitter.

"What? Empty? Did the Prime Minister and General Wu run away?"

Zheng Yuanjie was completely dumbfounded.

"General Wu was in the military camp last night discussing the war with several generals, but he never left. However, the Prime Minister is indeed missing."

The captain reported in detail.

"That old man Ling Zhongxian must have escaped. As long as General Wu doesn't leave, that's fine. What's your name? What's your current position?"

Zheng Yuanjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The last general, Xiao Zhihong, is appointed as the captain of the Royal Guards."

Xiao Zhihong responded.

"From now on, you are the commander of the Imperial Guards. You must send people to pay close attention to General Wu's movements to prevent him from surrendering to the enemy and treason!"

Zheng Yuanjie quickly promoted a new commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Thank you, Lord, for your cultivation. I will definitely keep an eye on General Wu."

Xiao Zhihong responded quickly.

At this moment, a soldier stumbled in.

"It's not good! Lord, it's not good! Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire is coming to kill him! He has already reached the west gate."

What?Emperor Yongtai came to kill him?
Zheng Yuanjie felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead, his head was buzzing, and he shuddered involuntarily.

"The lord, the lord..."

Commander Xiao yelled several times before he came back to his senses.

"Is Emperor Yongtai here? I want to kill him! No! He is a master-level expert, and I am no match for him!"

Zheng Yuanjie shouted, but he couldn't move his legs.

"Master, don't worry. Emperor Yongtai is a master-level expert. He will not just deal with an ordinary person."

Commander Xiao whispered.

"I'm going to meet Emperor Yongtai! Notify General Wu and prepare to defend the city!"

Zheng Yuanjie took a deep breath and finally gave up.

"Reporting to the Lord, General Wu has gone over to take command."

The soldier reported loudly.

"Very good! I still have an army of 30 people. What are you afraid of?"

Zheng Yuanjie emboldened himself and said in a deep voice.

……

The west gate of Xunyang City.

In the wide square outside the city, the empire's second main army was waiting in formation, full of murderous intent.

Lu Hao was riding a war horse. On his left was Liu Ruxu, the commander of the Empire's second main army, General Anguo of the Empire, and on his right was Ling Zhongxian, the Prime Minister of the State of Zheng.

The purpose of his coming here today is very simple, which is to persuade General Wu to give up resistance and submit to the Chinese Empire.

Because he had seen the rifles and grenades of the Chinese Empire, he knew that General Wu's bow, arrows and shield alone could not stop the Chinese Empire.

Rather than letting the soldiers who defend the city come to die, it would be simpler to surrender directly.

After all, these city-defending soldiers were raised by their parents, so why should every household in Xunyang City be clothed in white silk?
