Chapter 515: Northwest Company Army, Father and Son Reunited! 1

Translator: 549690339

Everyone knew that the strongest army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the Dragon Tiger Army.

However, they did not know that there was a super elite force in the Dragon Tiger Army that was rarely known.

This elite troop was called the Six Guards of the Imperial City.

The Six Guards of the Son of Heaven were nominally part of the Dragon Tiger Army, but in reality, they were a royal force that was completely independent of the Dragon Tiger Army.

Each of the six imperial guards had ten thousand men, making a total of sixty thousand men. All the soldiers in the army were elite troops raised by the Imperial Clan since young.

Every soldier was a relative who had been selected from the royal family through layers of screening and was talented in cultivation.

They did not need to produce and had received strict military training since they were young. Their food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all paid for by the royal family. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they only needed training. Only when the Zhou Dynasty was in trouble would they stand up and help the building.

It could be said that the Six Guards were the most elite troops in the entire

Zhou Dynasty.

Although there were only 60,000 people.

However, his equipment was excellent and his strength was powerful enough to easily destroy tens of thousands of troops.

The emperor had used countless taxes and resources to equip these six armies with the most powerful weapons and armors in the world. Other than the Dragon and Tiger Army, this was the most important card the emperor had to intimidate the dukes and protect the royal family.

If the Dragon Tiger Army’s deterrence was in the open, then the deterrence of the six imperial guards was in the dark.

The two cards, one bright and one dark, had supported the Great Zhou Dynasty for nearly ten thousand years.

In this attack, not only did the emperor use more than 60% of the Dragon Tiger Army, but he also used half of his six guards.

This was also the main force of the Qin Dynasty soldiers stationed at Futian Pa.s.s when they were attacked.

Originally, the emperor had wanted to keep the Qin army behind to teach them a good lesson and let those bandits know that the Zhou Dynasty was not so easy to plunder.

However, he didn’t expect the Qin army’s defenses at Futian Pa.s.s to be so perfect. Not only did they leave behind their most elite soldiers, but they also left behind many powerful descenders.

The three Emperor’s Guards fought for an entire night, but they still couldn’t break through Futian Pa.s.s.

When this news came, even the emperor was shocked.

If the loss of hundreds of thousands of people in Northguard Fortress was something that the emperor could barely accept, then the loss of his six guards was something that he could never accept.

From the very beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the arrangement of the six emperors and the Dragon Tiger Army complementing each other in the light and in the dark had been set.

All the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty had abided by this ritual system, giving priority to these two troops with the taxes and money they had collected from all over the world. No matter how muddle-headed their descendants were, they did not dare to go beyond this ancestral law.

If he were to damage the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven, he would become the sinner of the entire royal family.

After all, the six guards were not ordinary troops. Every loss was a b.l.o.o.d.y price to the emperor.

With the ability of the small n.o.ble families who were affiliated with the Zhou royal family to produce blood.

If any one of the Six Guards of the Son of Heaven was killed or injured, they would need to rest for decades before they could barely reproduce a population that could nurture the next army.

Therefore, when he heard that the three kings, the emperor, and the six guards had been unable to take down Fu Tian Pa.s.s for a long time and suffered heavy losses…

The emperor immediately ordered the guards who had attacked Futian Pa.s.s to retreat.

But even so, thousands of the 30,000-strong Six Guards had died.

Thousands of people…

Although it didn’t sound like much, the emperor, who understood the preciousness of the six guards, felt his heart ache as if it was bleeding. If the commoners died, even if the Zhou Dvnastv did not care, the D0Dulation would gradually recover after decades of recuperation.

During this period, the emperor didn’t need to pay attention to too many things.

However, once the six imperial guards died, they would need real money to replenish them!

It was a heavy blow to both the country and the royal family.

Of course, the Qin country’s casualties were several times more severe than the Great Zhou.

Not only did the Qin army not gain anything from this battle, but they also suffered more than 15,000 casualties. The losses between the two sides reached a shocking ratio.

This was a large-scale siege. Under normal circ.u.mstances, the attacking side would have to sacrifice at least twice as many to reach the walls.

However, the sudden appearance of the Great Zhou Guards overturned everyone’s inherent understanding.

As the attackers who recovered Futian Pa.s.s, the six imperial guards sent by the emperor withstood the rain of arrows and gunpowder attacks. They were still able to fight against three enemies and made the Qin army pay a b.l.o.o.d.y price.

It could be considered as regaining some dignity for the emperor and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It had to be said that the Six Guards of the Emperor were an elite force that could dominate the world.

It was no wonder that when they received the secret letter from Futian Pa.s.s, the first reaction of the Qin army was to not believe their ears, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

After all, from the Qin army’s point of view, the strongest Dragon Tiger Army of the Great Zhou was still waiting in Haojing City. The other armies that were trying to save the king were either still on the road and had not gathered, or they were a group of rabble that could not be beaten to death or shaken off like sticky candy.

Under such circ.u.mstances, how could an unknown Qin army suddenly cut off their escape route in Futian?

However, the truth was right in front of them. Even if they were unwilling to believe it, they had no choice but to believe it.

Fortunately, he had been careful back then and left a large number of elite troops at Futian Pa.s.s to guard the retreat route. This caused the emperor’s plan to fail..
