Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 56: Worshiping the Heaven

"Then we are so helpless to see them take away what should belong to us?" Bi Xili was full of unwillingness.

Slowly shaking his head thoughtfully, Lei Juetian's expression became more serious, "Khan, I want to visit several major countries in the Nanyang Alliance tomorrow to see if I can do my best. It would be nice if the Nicaea League could delay a little longer."

Bi Xili's eyes lit up, "That's right, the guys from the Nanyang Alliance definitely don't want to see Lin Guoxiong and the others hit under their noses, Jue Tian, ​​go and do a good job and see if they can send troops to intervene as soon as possible."

"Khan, it's not like you don't know the style of the bureaucratic members of the Nanyang Alliance Parliament. I'm worried that the decision to send troops has not been passed, and Lin Guoxiong is already singing the triumphant song." Lei Juetian said with a wry smile.

Hearing what Lei Juetian said, the light in Bixili's eyes dimmed again, "Oh, why did you forget the imbecility of these guys?"

"Don't be overly discouraged, Khan. We can observe first. If there is no change in the people of Tanghe, it will not be too late for us to dispatch our Imperial Forest Army. I hope the Rhonesia Alliance can hold on for a little longer. In addition, the minister suggested We can increase the establishment of one or two regular regiments appropriately, what does the Great Khan think?" When he made this last suggestion, Lei Juetian hesitated, and his tone was not sure.

"I had intended this for a long time, so I didn't bring it up because I was worried that you would disagree. Now that Yuejing has been occupied, it is absolutely possible to increase the number of regular troops by three to four." Bixili clapped his hands.

"Great Khan, our initial army establishment has already exceeded the scope of our national strength. Without this incident, even now I am still not very in favor of increasing the army. After all, adding a soldier will consume a considerable amount of material And money, we still need time to digest and absorb.”

Bi Xili also knows that as the Minister of State, he attaches great importance to the comprehensive balance of all aspects of the country, and he respects it very much, so he generally does not interfere with Lei Juetian's plan.

Under Dayu Pass, rockets whizzed up the sky, like meteors blooming, drawing an unusually beautiful arc in the dark night sky, while the heavy trebuchet kept pushing towards the city wall, and the head-sized stone The piece was thrown high, and fell with a stern wind sound, sometimes splashing dark red blood, and desolate screams one after another. Under the city wall, the ants-like soldiers braved the rain of arrows and falling rocks, and kept erecting the ladders. The soldiers with weapons in their mouths climbed up quickly with red eyes, hoping to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Looking at the unprecedentedly fierce and brutal Gongcheng battle, Lin Yunfei, who was commanding such a large scale for the first time, was extremely nervous, his hands seemed to squeeze out water, his face was flushed, and he stared intently at the city wall that was reflected like daylight. The wounded soldiers carried down like flowing water could not attract any sympathy from him. His attention had been completely focused on the result of this battle, and he was too eager for a victory.

Since the cancellation of the Lin family's westward expansion plan, for several years, he has been holding his breath, hoping to prove himself with a brilliant victory. To be honest, his requirements for the training and exercises of the Second Army in the past few years have been quite strict, even to the point of being harsh, which has also caused dissatisfaction among some lower-level officers, but what cannot be denied is the combat effectiveness of the Second Army Great progress has been made in the past few years.

The originally well-planned surprise attack ran into trouble here. The opponent seemed to have been prepared for a long time. Lin Jiajun suffered an early defeat. But Lin Yunfei didn't care, he knew that the opponent's strength was far from enough to deal with his offensive, but what made him wonder was how the opponent could understand his surprise attack plan.

As time went by, the battle became more and more fierce and cruel, and the city walls were filled with corpses, but this did not stop the brave soldiers at all, and the defense forces of the Kingdom of Nier on the walls also knew that the city was broken. What will be the final ending, and even risking his life to resist wave after wave of crazy offensives.

Due to the emphasis on the marching speed of the troops, the siege equipment carried by the entire army is not much, and most of them are in the rear of the troops, so for a long time, they can only attack the checkpoints with absolute advantages by means of simple ladders. The attacking side suffered huge losses in the early stage. Fortunately, the rear army brought up powerful siege equipment such as trebuchets, siege vehicles, and arrow towers in time, and the battle began to turn in favor of the attacking side.

The war lasted until noon the next day. Relying on ten times more troops than the opponent and tenacious combat effectiveness, after paying nearly 5,000 casualties, the Sanjiang Second Army finally took down the northernmost part of the Neil Kingdom. An important hurdle. So far, the entire Kingdom of Nier has no danger to defend except the capital Nier City. Even Nier City is far less dangerous than Dayu Pass. It seems that the only thing in front of the Duchy of Nier is surrender. There is a way to go.

At the same time, on the other arrow, Jin Shaobin, deputy commander of the Sanjiang Second Army Corps, led the other two divisions. Unprepared, he suffered a sudden attack from two divisions and suddenly collapsed. Coupled with the cooperation of the Lin family's special service personnel who had already ambushed there, it took less than three hours to completely control the border of the magnificent Wansong Pass. In the hands of the Lin family.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on February 8, 695 in the mainland calendar, after occupying Wansong Pass, Jin Shaobin left only a regiment of soldiers to guard Wansong Pass and take care of the prisoners. Kika City advances. At 6:00 p.m., the attack on Kika City officially started. The Kika defenders, who had less than 8,000 people, were forced to surrender after four hours. Flee to the neighboring Peacock City, and from Peacock City to flee to the Nanyang Alliance. However, just twelve hours later, Earl Okdo, the lord of Peacock City, also announced his surrender to the army led by Jin Shaobin who was approaching the city.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, although Situ Mingyue was delayed until midnight, he slept very comfortably in the latter half of the night. Satisfaction with the Minister of Military Affairs' plan allowed him to put down all his thoughts and sleep peacefully. It wasn't until the servant had to interrupt his dream to wake him up due to time constraints that he realized that it was almost time when he woke up. Another solemn worship ceremony.

He wanted to scold the servants, but after thinking about it, he must have seen that he hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, otherwise they would never dare to delay until this time on such a day, and hurriedly dressed After washing the clothes and having breakfast, he came to the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven in the north of the palace, where all the ministers had already been waiting.

The Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven is located in the north of the palace, with the front facing east, and the royal garden is spread out on its back, that is, to its west. This is a magnificent building combining Eastern and Western architectural arts. The geometric grid road, the central axis is two kilometers long, leading the overall situation, and forming a secondary axis layout in the local area.

Close to the west wall of the palace is a garden, and a pair of pools on the central platform reflect the magnificence of the palace. Patterned planted altars are arranged in the north and south of the pool platform. Outside the planting altar on the north side is a fountain path under the shade of dense trees, leading to Swan Lake, with a deep and quiet scenery. The 100-step steps more than 20 meters wide on the south side of the planting altar is a flower garden dominated by orange trees, and on the outside is a large verdant green lake. Sides are in sharp contrast.

Down the large steps from the west edge of the pool platform, there is a large oval pool. In the center stands a bronze statue of Situ Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tanghe Empire, riding a horse and wielding a sword. The fountains around the pool spray water columns as high as ten meters, and the water droplets scatter down in mid-air, forming scenes of water mist, fluttering with the wind, making the statue in the middle more sacred and inviolable, which makes people worship. idea.

Wu Feng stared silently at the statue in front of him, feeling infinitely moved in his heart. He recalled that hundreds of years ago, the founder of the Tanghe Empire rose from a small vassal. After numerous wars and conspiracies, he finally established the The most powerful empire on the sub-continent, its life history is so evocative, but looking at the current empire, thinking of this, looking at the sun rising from the east, Wufeng has a feeling that the sun is fading away.

The Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven is a round domed architectural structure with magnificent carvings, majestic shape, and a conical top pointing up to the sky. Under the sunshine, all the ministers present are dazzled and intoxicated.

The following ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was rather cumbersome, lengthy and boring. Naturally, members of the royal family took turns taking the stage. Appearance~IndoMTL.com~ Just when Wufeng was feeling bored, the etiquette officer who came to the altar to announce the end of the ceremony completely attracted his attention.

The tall palace bun does not look dull at all, but has a touch of extravagance on the contrary, but the picturesque eyebrows contain a frosty charm, especially the high bridge of the nose that makes people forget It can be seen that this is a woman with an extremely strong will, and those eyes that are like a deep pool under the deep eyebrows like distant mountains are full of aura. Everyone, including the ministers, is excited by wearing a large court dress. It's just because the robe is too loose, so that it is impossible to see the true figure of this peerless and enchanting man who lives above.

When Wufeng asked about the identity of this woman, Liao Qichang, the head of Jiangnan County of the Empire next to him, looked Wufeng up and down three times as if he had seen a rare object, and only told Wufeng when Wufeng was extremely embarrassed. She is Zhu Zimei, the grand-niece of the Empress Dowager, the court ceremonial officer of the imperial court, and one of the three famous flowers of the empire, who are as famous as Angel and Situ Yushuang.

Only then did Wu Feng suddenly realize that it was no wonder she was able to fascinate all living beings. Although I already have one of the three famous flowers in the imperial capital, I have no chance to see the other two famous flowers. To be able to see her beauty on this occasion today is not in vain like a stupid bird early in the morning I've been standing here for most of the day.

All his energy was put on the etiquette officer more than ten meters away. Wufeng finally found the main purpose of coming today. A cold and arrogant beauty is indeed a rare job.
