Chapter 227 Squeeze it dry(1/2)
Before overthrowing the imperial dynasty, the rebel army was invincible and unstoppable. They arrived outside the imperial capital in six days, including the time of marching.
Almost all the rebels believed that their attack on the imperial capital would be extremely smooth.
But they never expected that they would encounter extremely strong resistance in the imperial capital.
The defenders of the imperial capital fought against them almost at the cost of their lives.
"What's going on? Let's forget about the Zhou royal family. Why are other ordinary soldiers like this? Is there any benefit in blocking them?"
The leaders of the various rebel armies held an alliance.
Unable to conquer for a long time, everyone gathered together to find a way to conquer the imperial capital.
Upon hearing this, several leaders showed mocking expressions.
What's going on? Of course some of the good deeds done by the rebels were taken advantage of by the royal family.
The rebel army started out of righteousness, but under the deliberate promotion of the overlord-level forces, the truly powerful and determined righteous soldiers had long since died in the initial war.
The current leaders are either manpower arranged by overlord-level forces, or they are careerists who are greedy at heart.
When a dynasty collapses, anything is possible. In the last battle for the orb, a powerful man whose identity was completely unknown appeared.
The overlord-level forces are afraid that a real rebel force will appear. What will they gain by overthrowing the dynasty? If they are to be on an equal footing with them, it will be troublesome.
】
The world is huge, but it cannot accommodate more forces.
Therefore, the leaders of the rebel army were controlled from the beginning. They imposed excessive taxes and committed many evil deeds, no worse than those officials.
This is a reason, a reason to kill them.
The overlord-level forces could not personally overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, so they needed the rebel army, but they would not have that much trouble if they wanted to kill the so-called rebel army.
Based on what these rebels have done, even if they are buried, they will still gain support. Even in the end, this will be merit, and it may allow our own forces to gain an advantage in the final battle.
The leaders of the rebel army disguised as masters of overlord-level forces have long known the fate of other rebel armies.
After helping to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, he became a dominant force.
Let's fight, let's fight hard.
Anyway, the final fate will not change.
The performance of these people is even "better" than they imagined. Wherever they go, it can be said that there is not even an inch of grass deep, and countless people hate them to the bone.
And their army needs to be slower. Of course they will not do this, but will appease and gain support.
To the overlord-level forces, everyone is valuable, and all they have to do is squeeze out this value.
The current situation is very good.
As for the anger of the leader at the beginning about not being able to attack, it doesn't matter. With so many rebel soldiers, even if they sacrifice their lives, they will eventually break through the imperial city sooner or later.
Especially among their subordinates, there are many "righteous men" who are truly willing to sacrifice. When fighting, those people, like the defenders of the Imperial City, are willing to trade their lives for their lives.
It is only a matter of time before the imperial capital is conquered.
Looking at the quarreling leaders, they were all hiding in the dark, witnessing the development of the matter, and occasionally quarreling and provoking.
Eventually some of the leaders were instigated.
"Damn untouchables, wait until the imperial capital is conquered to make them look good!"
This is the effect that overlord-level forces want.
The more outrageous and resentful they are about what they do, and the greater the reward if they are eventually destroyed.
Times have changed. After the Zhou Dynasty was completely destroyed, these forces were all "treasures".
More than a dozen rebels failed to come up with a good solution.
It is indeed difficult to capture the imperial capital now, unless the great master arrives.
But none of the warriors who can reach the level of Grand Master will show up even if they know that the backlash is gone.
The final result of the discussion was simple, attack by force!
Countless people attacked the imperial capital.
Some people mobilized before the war and made no secret of it.
"Kill, the leader has an order, attack the imperial capital, and be wanton for three days!"
"oh!"
Three days of wantonness in the imperial capital is an irresistible temptation for many people.
That was the once unattainable imperial capital!
Most of the first rebel armies were like this, and many sergeants of those later rebel armies frowned when they learned about it.
"Are they still rebels? They are more like bandits!"
"After so many days, haven't you understood that their marching speed is faster than ours, and most of the tragic conditions in those cities are due to them."
"Why are you still cooperating with them?!" Some people don't quite understand.
"The leader said that the royal family is powerful. If we don't cooperate, we can't break the imperial city, so we must cooperate." This was a warrior, explaining to everyone.
The other sergeants also knew that this man had a lot of information, so they asked him.
"It's disgusting to cooperate with those people. I really want to kill those beasts."
"Be careful what you say!" The warrior gestured to shut up, "Don't say such nonsense."
But after saying this, he asked everyone to gather together, and then said in a very low voice: "Don't tell the next news."
Seeing how serious he was, the others nodded.
After the warrior saw it, he said: "I sent something to the leader before, and I overheard the leader saying that sooner or later we would take action against those animals. Don't worry, the reputation of the rebel army will not be tarnished by those people."
"Really?" People who have seen the atrocities committed by other rebels are extremely surprised.
"Shh, keep your voice down, it shouldn't be wrong. Anyway, don't reveal it. If you do, you'll be in trouble!"
"Of course, who among us is following whom?"
Finally, these people left. The warrior looked at the people leaving, his smile disappeared, and he returned to indifference.
"As expected of a pariah, I believe even if he is full of mistakes."
Although it was said to be confidential, the news spread quickly.
"Brother, after we conquer the imperial capital, we should be able to go home and live a good life!"
Someone next to him patted him on the head: "Xiao Er, you are stupid. If you conquer the imperial capital, you have to change the day. Only then can you live a good life. I just don't know if our leader can be the emperor."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey, I don't know as much as my elder brother!"
"If you know what you're doing, just learn it and follow your brother, and you won't have any problems in the future."
The two chatted for a while, talking about rumors in the military.
"Brother, you think those people must have the same background as us. How did they become like that so quickly? They are even more hateful than the magistrate of our county."
Of course the eldest brother didn't know why, so in the end he could only say: "Who knows, but those people are all beasts. We said when we came out to join the army that we must kill all these beasts, and we can definitely do it."
"Brother, I believe you!"
The second boy has always believed in his elder brother.
The battle started again, and Xiao Er and his eldest brother went to the battlefield together.
Only the waiter came back in the end. In order to save him, the elder brother couldn't even find his body.
He became silent and only remembered his elder brother's words: kill all those beasts so that you can live a good life.
The war continued, and the casualties on both sides soon exceeded 100,000.
But this time, unlike before, none of the master-level warriors died, and none of them went to the battlefield.
We have reached this point and we are about to enjoy the results. No one wants to die like this.
In the imperial city, seven or eight masters surrounded the clan elder.
This is the last trace of the royal family.
"Elder of the clan, none of the masters of the rebel army attacked."
"Humph, I know very well what their plan is. Get ready. We all go up to the city wall and grab people to support us."
"Yes, clan elder!"
None of the final members of the royal family, the Grand Master, escaped, and the Emperor was also in the palace.
All the people leaving are juniors.
After all, the clan elders are not as cruel as Zhou Tianyuan and Grand Master Qi Yun, so they let the younger generation take responsibility.
So all the older generation stayed and fought to the death.
At the same time, the atrocities of the rebel army were reported back to the imperial city, allowing the army and people of the imperial city to spontaneously resist.
