Chapter 580 Life and Death (2)(1/2)
West Gate of St. Petersburg.
This is the main city gate, with a thousand elite guards stationed.
From the sudden explosion in the sky, the soldiers guarding the city noticed something was wrong.
The imperial guards camp several kilometers outside the city suddenly exploded.
The cavalry rode their horses and clashed from the camp and headed straight for St. Petersburg.
The musketeers lined up in an orderly manner and began to charge here.
The artillery pushing the cannon drove the carriage and carried solid shells to come here at the same time.
The patrol soldiers who discovered the situation immediately sounded the alarm.
The dull bell rang, and soon the other three city gates also echoed.
It shows that all the four gates of St. Petersburg were besieged by the imperial guards at the same time.
“What’s the situation?”
The commander of the Xicheng Guards, Zafvik, led his troops to the city gate.
"Sir, the imperial guards are going to attack the city!"
"What?"
Zavvik was shocked and looked up.
I only saw Victor, the commander of the Imperial Army, riding on his horse and rushing towards him quickly.
"Close the city gate immediately! Notify the other three cities and block St. Petersburg!"
Zavvik is not a fool either.
In this case, it is even suspected that the purpose of the imperial guards is simply full.
A little later, the entire St. Petersburg will fall.
Squeak button!
With Zafvik's orders, the huge city gate began to slowly close.
The people who were entering and leaving the city panicked and ran towards the city.
Unfortunately it's too late.
The guards who received the order prohibited any person from entering the city again.
Whether it is women, young or old, or business caravans, they are all turned away and are rudely pushed out of the city gate.
"Sir, don't close the door, my wife just went in."
"Let me in, my daughter is still inside."
"Okay okay, I'm going home."
People cried and wanted to break through the barriers of the Guards.
"If you dare to trek into the city gate, you will be killed without any hesitation!"
Zafvik stood at the top of the city wall and shouted coldly.
"Bang!Bang!Bang!"
Several muskets were fired and the people fell to the ground.
Only then did people realize that the Guards were determined and hurriedly ran out.
But where can I go?
Behind him was the imperial guards brigade with smoke rising from his body, and in front of him was the city gate that was about to be closed.
Everyone knelt on the ground and cried.
Zafvik was unmoved.
The hesitation at this moment was to joke about the lives of the entire palace and the lives of tens of thousands of people in St. Petersburg.
Dong!
Finally, the city gate was closed as the imperial guards rushed over.
Zavvik breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the imperial army dozens of meters away.
"General Victor! What are you going to do?"
Under the city, Victor cursed inwardly and frowned.
I had known that the sect had a spy waiting at the city gate.
In this way, siege will undoubtedly be much more troublesome.
But who knew that Mr. Fa had just entered the city and fired an offensive signal.
The plan originally planned to be late at night today was more than ten hours ahead of schedule.
This made him in a hurry and many things were not ready.
"What are you doing, Zavvik! Open the door and let me go in."
"The Imperial Guard brothers are itchy and want to go to the city to be relaxed."
Zafvik almost got angry after hearing Victor's words.
Going into the city with ease?
Stop making trouble, more than 5,000 people are going to the city to be casual?
This is still a city gate, and there are five thousand other city gates.
The imperial guards with a total scale of 20,000 were all dispatched and surrounded the entire St. Petersburg.
You told me to go to the city to be free and easy?
Is it you idiot or me?
"General Victor, please take out the empress's handwriting, otherwise I will not be able to obey my order!"
Zafvik said coldly, not afraid of the siege of more than 5,000 people.
He knew that with the city gate as a support, even if the opponent launched an attack for a short period of time, he would not do anything to them.
Without a hundred thousand troops and a month of hard attack, you can't break through the city gate.
"Zafvik! What an empress, why can't I understand what you mean?"
Victor was a little too lazy to talk nonsense to him.
"Xichengwei, I understand and tell you that I was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace to clear the traitors and open the door immediately. Otherwise, you can take on the major affairs of Your Majesty?"
"Whose order? Why don't I know when Her Majesty the Queen issued the order to clear the bill!"
Zafvik looked at the other person tightly.
Victor laughed: "I was ordered by His Majesty Ivan VI, what's the matter with that crazy woman in the city?"
"Zafvik, please be careful, who is this!"
With Victor's shout, the carriage door beside him was opened, revealing the terrified face of Ivan.
Zavvik's body was shocked.
"Victor, are you going to rebel?"
"No! I want to restore the throne!"
Victor shouted loudly: "All the Tik Guards, listen to me by brothers from Xicheng Guards!"
"Your Majesty Ivan VI is here, and you will not surrender! After the restoration, you will be rewarded according to your merits!"
The defenders on the city were so scared that they were all stunned and stared at the bottom.
"fart!"
"Ivan VI has abdicated long ago, and now it is the world of His Majesty Elizabeth! Victor, since you are obsessed with it, I can only shell you!"
Seeing that the morale of the army was unstable, Zavvik hurriedly shouted.
At this moment, there is no need to wait for the command of Adolf.
As a general, he has the right to make decisions immediately!
"The guards of Xicheng City obey orders, ignite the beacon, fire cannons! Swear to defend St. Petersburg to the death!"
He shouted loudly and shouted back all the souls of the guards.
"Damn it, I'm looking for a dead end!"
Seeing that the fooling was failed, Victor waved his hand angrily.
"Mr. Fa's warriors, kill them for me, we're going to the city right away!"
Hurry!
