The imperial capital was locked down for seven days!

This is another complete blockade of the imperial capital since the four great masters entered the imperial capital five hundred years ago, severing exchanges between internal and external cities.

Within seven days, the bustling and noisy outer city was still crowded, but the inner city was silent.

Inside and outside the city wall, there were many cases where the master wanted to take off. He was either bombarded by several masters or forced to fall down by dense bows and arrows and muskets.

Within seven days, no news came out of the inner city to the outer city.

Some people say that the emperor is critically ill.

Some people also say that it was the legion rebelling.

Some people also say that the prince killed the emperor.

Some even claimed that the Grand Duke of Saxony led his troops to seize the imperial capital.

The rumors were chaotic, and they all spread across the country with the help of telegram networks.

During these seven days, officials and people from all over the empire received several different versions of the latest news from the imperial capital every day, which made them feel ups and downs.

During this period, many explosions and faintly burning flames in the inner city of the imperial capital were announcing that something really happened this time!

Until the early morning of the eighth day, the gates of the inner city of the imperial capital were opened and internal and external exchanges resumed.

The streets and walls that have been deliberately cleaned, and the ruins that have appeared by chance, are decorated with peace on one side, but are ruthlessly revealing the past.

A new imperial edict from the emperor was circulated out of the palace and then spread throughout the country at an extremely fast speed.

"Crown Prince François died of illness, and the eldest prince Charles was granted the title of crown prince. During the time of the emperor's recuperation, he was responsible for the important task of supervising the country."

Although this news was shocking at first, most people accepted it calmly. This was not the first time this happened in the thousand-year imperial history. Since the battle came to an end, at least everyone will no longer be disturbed by the real and false news that changed a few times a day.

But what happened later was beyond everyone's expectations.

The 200,000 new troops stationed in the Northern Territory suddenly claimed that the emperor was under house arrest, and the former crown prince François was also killed by treacherous ministers. Their new troops were loyal to the king and decided to fight with the traitors to the end and prepare to go south from the Northern Territory to serve the king.

This group of new troops was a newly trained army by François in the past three years, with only 20% of the extraordinary people, and most of them were ordinary people.

After training, these ordinary people were able to compete with the Revenge Army, who had experienced many battles and all the extraordinary people, and finally seized the opportunity to surround the Revenge Army and almost wiped them out.

The success of the new army was, on the one hand, the improved muskets and cannons were powerful, and on the other hand, the new army was strictly trained and selected ordinary people from areas that were deeply troubled by the revenge army. They had no lack of fighting spirit and courage. Coupled with their fearless fighting style and the number of people who had an absolute advantage, they defeated the famous Revenge Army.

Now that the news that the late prince's new army was about to attack the imperial capital was heard, everyone was waiting and seeing.

The new army did not choose to mobilize the trains to move south, but walked slowly south along the railway line, replenished supplies on site at the stations along the way, and walked slowly for twenty days before reaching the border between the Northern Region and the Gyeonggi.

The First Legion is also waiting for them here.

The battle was about to begin, and the new army exerted strong firepower and blew up the first legion with coordinated energy skills. There was no way to coordinated energy skills. Although the coordinated energy skills were powerful, they could only persist for a while, and once the source energy was insufficient, the defense line was immediately torn apart. It would be impossible to form a new coordinated energy technology formation. Losing the advantage of coordinated combat, the single combat power of the legion warriors was not as good as the revenge army who fought all day long. As a result, they could not even be entangled and were crushed by the new army.

Only then did people know that although firearms are very useless in single-to-single battles, once the number of users reaches an order of magnitude, the extraordinary people are not much stronger than ordinary people under dense firepower.

The new army slowly entered the capital, and the whole country was in an uproar.

Three days later, the new army appeared in the north of the imperial capital, and the imperial capital closed its doors again, and there was a panic of panic.

The next day, the new army began to attack the city in the north. Once it crossed the northern wall, it would be a palace without any defensive ability.

No one could have thought that one day, the pearl of the empire, the imperial capital, would be surrounded by enemies.

Although Charles, the governor of the country, repeatedly claimed that the new army could not cross the solid city wall, the believer Miao Miao had not blocked the city gates, a large number of people would have escaped from the inner city at this time.

The outer city in the south was even more panicked, and many people fled overnight. Every train that left was full of people and could not be squeezed out. Some people were lying outside the train, and some people were lying on the top of the train.

There were no ships coming in the canal directly to Nancheng. The canal that exposed all ships, which was much quieter than the train.

Just as the northern wall of the imperial capital was fighting, a large number of ships appeared on the canal, and these ships began to unload goods in an orderly manner, but they were fully armed soldiers.

The residents of the South City of the imperial capital had never seen such an army, and later they guessed from their accent that these people were from Stuart.

The army that came off the ship began to walk northwards around the imperial capital wall with neat steps. Their target was not the imperial capital, but the new army in the north.

The south gate of the imperial capital was opened, and the cannons unloaded from the ship were pulled by steamed cars, and they entered the city from the south gate, and many even drove directly into the palace.

However, the new army attacking the imperial capital in the north did not know that their artillery had an overwhelming advantage. After the artillery suppressed the artillery fire in the city, it stopped the artillery bombardment and began to attack the breakout of the city wall.

However, at this moment, a new round of artillery bombing began in the city, and the target was the new army artillery position that had not yet been moved.

As time went by, the artillery troops of the new army suffered losses, but the infantry began to occupy the gap in the city wall and regained the situation by relying on the numerical advantage.

However, the new army soon discovered that there were dense troops in the wilderness on the west side, which were similar to their equipment and combat methods, but their firepower was even more fierce than theirs.

Both sides used muskets that loaded paper and bullets afterwards. The new army in the northern region fired and loaded one shot, while the Stuart army, which came from the south, loaded two shots at once.

The tactics of both sides are very similar, shooting on the ground and covering alternately during charge.

Gradually, the new army found that its side was at a disadvantage because a large number of artillery were sneak attacked and destroyed, and the troops lacking artillery support gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The new army's command was preparing to withdraw, withdraw from the opponent's artillery attack range, collect the formation and regroup again. Anyway, they still have the advantage of numerical power, and temporary defeat is acceptable.

But at this moment, the earth began to tremble slightly. This was not a brief vibration caused by artillery bombardment, but a continuous shaking.

A few veterans in the new army began to worry, but their concerns soon became a reality. Continuous black dots appeared in the wilderness on the east side of the imperial capital. These black dots were getting closer and closer, showing their figures, all of which were armored cavalry.
