Chapter 1960 Burning the Palace

Dingwu stood at the top of the city and looked at the raging fire ignited by the Heavenly Palace. He seemed to be calm, but the gloomy look deep in his eyes had already revealed his helpless mood.

The soldiers standing on the top of the city looked at the raging fire in the sky, but their eyes were full of tears.

Although it is far away from the heavens, the Heavenly Palace is located at a high place. Coupled with the dark winter night, the fire soaring into the sky looks even more dazzling.

"Master!" Seeing the gloomy expression in Dingwu's eyes, Xuanyuan Shao knew that Dingwu must be in extreme pain now, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

As the king of the empire, he watched the Yi barbarians rage under his nose, but he had no choice but to imagine the pain in Dingwu's heart.

The guards in the city have been so patient that they have been defending the city to the extreme. As long as Dingwu gave the order, even if there are ten times more barbarian soldiers, these guards will rush over and fight with them without hesitation.

But Dingwu could only endure it.

In fact, many people know that although the Heavenly Palace was built in a magnificent manner, when Dingwu moved to Wuping Prefecture City, all the gold and silver treasures in the Heavenly Palace were transported to Wuping Prefecture City. After all, the country was in trouble, and these gold and silver treasures were left in the Heavenly Palace for useless decoration, which would be better used as expenses.

But there is an extremely important thing in the Heavenly Palace. For the Great Qin Empire, it is better than countless gold and silver, and that is the body of the late emperor.

After the death of Wuyuan, the body remained in the Heavenly Palace. When Dingwu was transferred to Wuping Mansion, Wuyuan's body remained in the Heavenly Palace, and the Xuanzhen Taoist Sect was sent to lead a group of Taoist priests to guard it.

The Dao of Eternal Life is good at the art of elixirs. Although it cannot really make the immortality of the corpse of Viagra, it is not difficult to preserve Viagra intact.

Although Dingwu had already announced the death of the late emperor to the world, he did not hold a national funeral for Dingwu. After all, it was an extraordinary time, and Hexi was a temporary residence. When Wu Yuan was still awake, he had actually chosen a Feng Shui treasure land for his burial. Dingwu inherited the throne and everything was like a hair. He really had no energy to hold a funeral for Wu Yuan, so he could only temporarily park his body in the Heavenly Palace.

The Yi Barbarians were in chaos as soon as they were said. Dingwu had no chance to transport his body to Wuping Prefecture City. Now that the Yi Barbarians have to search around in the Heavenly Palace, they only hope that the Taoist priests who guarded the body could collect the body of Huo Yuan's body. Otherwise, once Huo Yuan's body fell into the hands of the Yi Barbarians, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He was worried, but Xuanyuan Shao had already said softly: "Sage, the Yi barbarians attacked Wuping Prefecture City and pointed their finger at the Heavenly Palace. If the palace is broken today, Yao Chong is afraid!"

Dingwu carried his hands on his back, just staring at the firelight in the distance, and asked, "Xuanyuan, why do you think the Yi barbarians turned to attack the Heavenly Palace?"

Xuanyuan Shao thought for a while before saying, "Master, is it because the Yi barbarians are not just trying to vent their anger?"

"I hope they are just venting their anger." Dingwu sneered: "But they attacked the Heavenly Palace for several days, and they would not give up until they achieved their goals. The casualties would inevitably be heavy. They knew that I was in Wuping Prefecture, but why did they attack the Heavenly Palace at all costs?" Their eyes became cold, "I am afraid that Shi Han suddenly began to understand how to attack the city."

Xuanyuan Shao was naturally a shrewd person. When he understood, he frowned and said, "Master, is it because the Yi barbarians attacked the Heavenly Palace for those in the Heavenly Palace!" But he didn't say anything.

"Many of the strong men who retreated to the Heavenly Palace are skilled craftsmen. With the ability of those craftsmen, it is not difficult to create siege weapons." Dingwu said slowly: "I am afraid that it will not take long for the Yi barbarians to have a large number of siege weapons in their hands. By that time, this Wuping Mansion City may not be able to defend."

Xuanyuan Shao clenched his fists, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Dingwu asked softly: "Xuanyuan, if the sudden sweating suddenly dies, do you think the Yi barbarians will withdraw their troops?"

Xuanyuan Shao was stunned, and instantly understood what Dingwu meant, and said softly: "The Master said, send the God-in-law to assassinate Tu Shihan?"

"Although the Yi barbarians are not educated, they are not fools. I have observed that Shi Han protects his own safety very carefully. There have always been no less than twenty guards by his side." Dingwu said softly: "If the Shenyi Guard secretly sneaks into their camp, the Shenyi Guard may be able to do it, but there is almost no possibility of assassinating Shi Han in the camp."

Xuanyuan Shaowei frowned, but he understood in his heart that Dingwu had obviously reached a desperate situation, otherwise he would never have wanted to go out to assassinate the enemy chief.

Although the two armies can do everything they can to win the war with all means, the way to assassinate the enemy's leader is really a difficult strategy.

This is certainly because when the battle is reached, both sides will inevitably provide strict protection for their leaders, and the possibility of assassination is minimal, and even more because this trick is ultimately a sneaky act and despised by others.

Although Qin State has fallen and only has a corner of land, it is still the sign of the Great Qin Empire. The dignified Central Plains Empire is forced to secretly assassinate the other leader. Even if it succeeds, once it spreads, it will eventually have a great impact on the reputation of Qin State and Dingwu.

However, Xuanyuan Shao also understood that at this point, it is important to protect the safety of Wuping Mansion. As for the reputation, Dingwu naturally doesn't care about it now.

"If I go there in person, how many chances do you think do you have?" Dingwu pondered for a moment and finally asked.

Xuanyuan Shao changed color slightly.

Throughout history, it is common for emperors to command wars on the front line. Whether it is an emperor who is personally in the army or an emperor who is forced into a desperate situation due to helplessness, it is not an isolated case in history.

However, as the emperor's emperor, he actually wanted to personally assassinate the enemy chief. Looking at the past and present, that was extremely rare.

"Master, no!" Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "How can the bodies of tens of thousands of saints be easily taken into danger? These days, the Master also knew that although the Yi barbarians are wild and difficult to tame and are not conventional in marching and fighting, the enemy chiefs are extremely concerned about their own safety. Their camp tents are all in the hinterland of the military camp and are surrounded by heavy protections. It is almost impossible to get close to the enemy chief's tent. However, if you are negligent, you will be surrounded by tens of thousands of Yi barbarian soldiers, and even the Daluo Jinxian cannot evacuate!"

Dingwu smiled faintly and said, "Can't my martial arts come and go freely?"

Of course, Xuanyuan Shao knew that Dingwu was full of martial arts and was not impossible to enter the enemy camp, but he understood even more that even if Xuanyuan Shao’s martial arts was difficult to predict, as long as there was a slight negligence, once he was really caught in the enemy camp and was discovered, he would not be able to return safely from the thousands of troops.

"Master, I'm sorry to say that it is not difficult to enter the enemy camp with the wise martial arts. Even if Tu Shihan is assassinated, it can be easily carried out." Xuanyuan Shao said seriously: "But I think that even if the wise master really kills Tu Shihan, or even kills all the Yi and Barbarian generals around him, it will be useless. The Yi and Barbarians suddenly rebel, and Tu Shihan has not arrived yet, but they still attack the city with all their strength. This shows that even if Tu Shihan really dies, there will be a new Yi and Barbarians instead of him. The Yi and Barbarians are originally tribal alliances and are not convinced. The wise said a few days ago that Tu Shihan can command the Yi and Barbarians, but because the Yi and Barbarians need such a commander, it is not that they really need Tu Shihan. Who the commander is not important to them. If one dies, another will appear."

Dingwu pondered slightly before nodding slightly, "You said it right, it is naturally different from me when I suddenly sweat."

The raging fire in the Heavenly Palace burned until dawn, and it did not weaken at all. The magnificent Heavenly Palace, which consumed a lot of financial and manpower, was just a useless thing that could neither be eaten nor drunk nor taken away.

Countless barbarians rushed into the Daotian Palace. In order to attack Wuping Prefecture City and Tiangong, thousands of people were killed and injured. Almost every tribe had people killed in the battlefield. Now that the city was broken, it was a matter of new and old hatreds. The sabers ruthlessly slaughtered the people in the Tiangong Palace.

In addition to the tens of thousands of strong men who followed Yao Chong to retreat and entered, there were also many palace maids and eunuchs who stayed here. Although the third hall covers a wide area, tens of thousands of people are among them, but they are extremely crowded, with shouts of killing and screams everywhere.

Yao Chong led the people of the Heavenly Palace to fight hard for several days. The strong men in the Heavenly Palace had no experience in combat. After several days of siege, there were already heavy casualties, and most of them had no weapons in their hands and bare hands. Now the fierce barbarians rushed in, without any danger to defend. The people in the Heavenly Palace had no power of resistance at all, just like wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, with swords flying, spears ruthless, and amid the screams, one person after another fell in a pool of blood.

The Yi Barbarians were obviously very expert in massacre. Twenty thousand soldiers kept the surroundings of the Heavenly Palace tightly, and they didn't even release a fly. In fact, only half of the Yi Barbarians rushed into the Heavenly Palace. Some were slashing and killing wildly, while others were searching everywhere, trying to find some valuable things. Some Yi Barbarians saw the young and beautiful palace maids, carried them on their shoulders, and laughed wildly.

The entire Heavenly Palace is like a purgatory on earth.

What disappointed the Yi Barbarians was that there was no gold, silver and treasures they imagined in the Heavenly Palace, and they could not even find food. Although the architecture and ingenious carvings in the Heavenly Palace were exquisite, these were worthless in the eyes of the Yi Barbarians. The extremely angry Yi Barbarians' mutiny was not only chopped and killed to vent their anger, but also set fire everywhere. They were determined to burn the Heavenly Palace that disappointed them.

From the time of attacking the city, killing fire everywhere. By dawn, corpses in the Heavenly Palace were piled up like mountains, and many people were forced into the house and burned to death by the fire.

This tragic massacre was not completely calmed until Shi Khan sent someone to stop it.

Although before attacking the Heavenly Palace, Shihan Shihan repeatedly ordered that after conquering the Heavenly Palace, he wanted to kill all those who resisted, as long as someone surrendered, he could not slaughter or even capture them. However, in the rage of the Yihan, thousands of people died under the butcher's knife. If Shihan had not wanted to get the craftsmen in the Heavenly Palace to use to create siege weapons, tens of thousands of people in the Heavenly Palace would have been unable to escape the enemy.
