When Li Xin arrived near the imperial city, it was already in Mao hour, and the sky was almost bright. While rushing along Desheng Street, Li Xin saw the bodies of Yulin Guards all over the ground and frowned slightly.

However, his speed never stopped. He reached the Imperial City. At this time, the Hanzhou army had already blasted the Yong'an Gate with gunpowder and rushed into the Imperial City with gunpowder.

The imperial city is divided into two cities: the inner and outer cities, the outer cities are the place where the imperial court works, and the inner cities are the real imperial city, Tianjia Residence, Li Xin quickly entered Yong'an Gate and found Mu Ying directly in the Hanzhou army.

Each of the three imperial guards in the emperor has only three thousand people. Together, the three imperial guards have only about ten thousand people. In addition, the Yulin Guards have almost all been killed or injured, and the Qianniu Guards and the Inner Guards in the imperial city have only less than six thousand people.

The Southwest Army that invaded the imperial city had more than 20,000 people.

If there were no firearms, as the most elite imperial guards in the Jin Dynasty, more than 6,000 people could block 20,000 Hanzhou troops with the help of the city gate wall for a few days or even longer. Unfortunately, in front of the firearms, the city gates of this era have basically lost their function.

As long as the Hanzhou army is willing to die, they can send enough gunpowder to the city gate and blow up the city gate!

Moreover, most of the gunpowder reserves in the capital during this period were used to defend the outer city walls. There were only a few sky thunders in the imperial city. Even if all these sky thunders exploded in the Hanzhou army, they could not stop the Hanzhou army, which was like a wolf or a tiger.

Li Xin stood beside Mu Ying, looked up at the Hanzhou army soldiers who were trying to break the inner city gate, and then asked, "How long does it take to capture the imperial city?"

Mu Ying looked at the progress of the siege and said in a deep voice: "General, the imperial guards in the capital were all stopped by the Ningzhou army. Only the three imperial guards guarded the imperial city. The Yulin Guards and Qianniu Guards among the three imperial guards have basically been killed or injured. Only the inner guards are still defending the inner city. According to the current progress, our army can take the inner city in at most one hour!"

As the two of them spoke, a fire suddenly flashed, and then a loud bang came. Both of them looked in the direction of the sound. The inner gate of the capital city was directly exploded with this loud bang!

The moment the inner city gate was blown open, the Hanzhou Army's vanguard camp rushed in and fought with the inner guards of the inner city.

Like the Yulin Guard, the inner guards are both old imperial guards in the capital. Although the inner guards changed almost once again on the night of the Renchen Palace transformation, the inner guards who were reorganized later were still trusted by the two generations of emperors and were treated the best among the three imperial guards.

At the same time, these inner guards are also the most loyal to the emperor.

Among the inner guards, there is also a real emperor's guard camp, whose combat power is even stronger than that of the Yulin Guard.

This is the most elite army in the era of cold weapons. If there is no firearm, the three imperial guards in the capital alone can block at least 20,000 to 30,000 Southwest Army.

But unfortunately, times have changed.

The attack mode of the Hanzhou Arms Battalion is very mature. First, use propulsion to a distance of about fifty steps, then throw the hands and bombard it with thunder. The musketman comes out to harvest one round and three rounds. Unless the enemy is too many, they will basically be defeated.

The number of people in the inner guard is only 3,000.

When the firearm camp was not willing to waste firearms, hundreds of thunders exploded, and the musket soldiers fired a few more rounds of volleys. These red-clothed and red-armored inner guards basically lost their ability to resist.

Next, it's just a massacre.

Li Xin was standing aside, staring at the killings coldly, and then said with a expressionless face: "Send someone to take over the Yong'an Gate and all the palace gates inside and outside. Without my warrant, no one is allowed to enter and exit!"

Mu Ying immediately lowered her head: "I will obey the order!"

General Li took a deep breath and continued, "Give me instructions, officials of all sizes and big cities in the capital should not be easily harmed. If anyone disobeys, he will be killed without mercy."

Mu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "General, the capital is in such chaos, and it is inevitable that he will accidentally be injured..."

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"If you want to take root in the capital, you must do this well. Otherwise, even if you and I have captured the imperial city, they will be just passers-by and will be driven out by others in a few years."

He glanced at Mu Ying indifferently and said calmly: "In this world, not only the imperial guards in the capital, but also the millions of people, as well as the entire eleventh territorial territory. How many Zhao Jias are there in my southwest?"

Speaking of this, Mu Ying immediately lowered her head: "I understand."

General Li continued: "Don't be too kind. If someone doesn't cooperate, he will kill him on the spot. There are more people in the world, and some people are willing to be officials."

"The scale must be controlled well."

While the two of them were talking, a captain from the Hanzhou Army Pioneer Battalion stumbled over and bowed to Li Xin and Mu Ying.

"Great... General, General Mu..."

He was extremely excited and took a few breaths before he recovered and said stutteringly: "The inner city is broken!"

"The defenders in the inner city of the imperial city have been defeated by our army!"

Hearing this sentence, Mu Ying's body trembled.

Although the Southwest Army has been going smoothly for more than half a year, in Mu Ying's inherent reflection, the court has always been an unattainable behemoth and an existence he always needs to look up to.

But now...the imperial city in the capital has been defeated by them!

Mu Ying's psychological quality of leading troops for nearly 20 years was so trembling that he couldn't help but tremble. He turned to look at Li Xin, swallowed a saliva, and said tremblingly: "Great... General."

Li Xin was also very excited, but there was no expression on his face. He took several deep breaths and said, "Send a message to Luzhou..."

"Please bring the sixth prince into the capital."

"I inform the whole city and say that we have captured the imperial city. The sixth prince is about to ascend the throne soon. The imperial guards and other troops in the capital will put down their weapons at this time and will not blame them."

Mu Ying slowly let out a breath and did not nod immediately agreed. He looked up at Li Xin, his voice still excited.

"General... At this time, don't you have to welcome the sixth prince into the city?"

"According to the last general, you can ascend the throne directly, so there is no need to be such trouble."

"It must be so troublesome."

Li Xin slowly closed his eyes: "The world is still surnamed Ji now. From Emperor Wu to Emperor Taikang, the three generations of emperors have no guilt, and the people can live a life of the people."

"At this time, we are anxious to change our surnames. We are not coming to the capital to clear the lords, but to rebel."

"At that time, the Southwest Army will face the rebels of the whole world."

Li Xin opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ying, with a calm expression: "Brother Mu thought that how long can the firearm be hidden from the world?"

"Five years or ten years?"

Mu Ying took a deep breath, lowered her head and fisted at Li Xin: "I understand..."

Li Xin reached out and patted Mu Ying on the shoulder, his voice calm: "The Southwest Army came from Hanzhong all the way, and we were stepping on the bones of our brothers to get here all the way."

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"This battle will not be fought in vain."

Mu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and clasped her fists deeply at Li Xin.

"I will understand."

Li Xin nodded to him, then reached out and pressed the sword around his waist, and said coldly to the guard beside him: "Come with me."

Li Xin had more than fifty personal guards, each holding his sword and following behind Li Xin.

At this time, dawn was about to break out, and the first ray of sunshine shone in the imperial city.
