Empire

Zhang Bao and one hundred elite soldiers quickly changed into the blood-stained uniforms of the Dynasty Army and transformed themselves into the Dynasty Army.

The garrison troops of Guiyi Prefecture had more than 5,000 people, but Wen County was in danger, and the governor of Guiyi Prefecture sent 2,000 soldiers to reinforce. At this moment, there were only 3,000 defenders in the city.

These 3,000 defenders were divided into guarding the four gates and important treasuries in the city, and the troops were also stretched to the limit.

Zhang Bao and others pretended to be the defeated soldiers of the Dynasty Army and swaggered straight to the west gate of Guiyi Prefecture.

""General, someone seems to be coming."

The soldiers of the Dynasty Army guarding the west gate heard someone coming from a distance and hurried to report to the general on duty.

The general did not dare to be careless. When he quickly got up from the bed, Zhang Bao and others had already arrived at the foot of the city.

"Open the city gate quickly!"

Zhang Bao raised his head and shouted loudly to the Dynasty soldiers on the top of the city who were facing a formidable enemy.

"Which unit are you from, and who is your commander?"

The general guarding the west gate breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the enemy wearing the uniform of the Dynasty Army, but he did not dare to let them in easily.

Now the surrounding areas are full of active rebels, especially Wen County, which is more than a hundred miles away, is under siege by the rebels. Naturally, their capital city has also increased its alert level.

"Are you blind? Can't you see that we are the defenders of Wen County?"

Zhang Bao didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, pretending to be impatient and yelling

"You are the garrison of Wen County, why are you here?"

The 100-man officer on duty looked Zhang Bao and others up and down and asked in confusion.

"Wen County has been lost. We fought desperately to get out. The county magistrate is seriously injured and unconscious. Open the city quickly. If the county magistrate makes any mistakes, you will be held responsible!" Zhang Bao shouted impatiently.

It was dark, and the hundred guards saw from afar that someone seemed to be carried, but it was not very clear.

"Didn't we send reinforcements?" The hundred-man guard still refused to give in.

"The reinforcements are fighting the enemy troops, otherwise we would have been killed by the pursuers. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you don’t open the door, I will attack the city!"Zhang Bao seemed a little irritable

"Kaesong——"

After hesitating for a few seconds, the 100-man officer on duty decided that it was not a trick and ordered the door to be opened.

"You should quickly report to the Admiral that Wen County has been lost and the defeated soldiers have already reached the city."The

100-man guard on duty called over a soldier and asked him to report to Admiral Bai Jianming, the highest military and political officer of Guiyi Prefecture.

""Yes!"

The soldier turned around and quickly ran towards the governor's mansion in the city.

The creaking city gate of the west gate was opened under the order of the 100-man commander on duty.

Seeing the open city gate, Zhang Bao, who pretended to be a royal soldier, had a fierce look in his eyes. He waved his hand and more than a hundred soldiers quickly went to the city gate.

After sending soldiers to reinforce Wen County, Guiyi Prefecture Governor Bai Jianming was busy until midnight before he went to bed.

But he was just drowsy when he was awakened by the people sent by the 100-man commander guarding the west gate.

"What? Wen County was lost?"

When Admiral Bai Jianming heard that Wen County, which had been besieged by the enemy army several times and was as strong as a rock, had actually been lost, he was also shocked.

"Summon the magistrate of Wen County to see me immediately."

Bai Jianming told the soldier who came to report the news when he heard that the defeated soldiers had arrived at the city.

But before the soldier could respond, a deafening shout of killing was heard outside.

"What's going on?!"

Bai Jianming heard the shouting and killing in the distance, and stood up suddenly, staring at the direction where the sound came from, with an ominous premonition.

Just a moment later, a soldier covered in blood rushed into the admiral's mansion.

"Sir, it's bad, it's bad, the enemy troops have entered the city"

"What?!"

After hearing this, Admiral Bai Jianming's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost lost his balance.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The soldier covered in blood gasped and said,"Those bandits disguised themselves as defeated soldiers from Wen County and tricked the city gates open. They have already entered the city."

"How many people are there?"

Admiral Bai Jianming was the highest military and political officer in Guiyi Prefecture. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down.

"It was too dark to see clearly, but there were quite a few people."

""Quickly pass on our military order. The East Gate, North Gate and South Gate should quickly reinforce the West Gate. We must drive the enemy out of the city!" Bai Jianming ordered hurriedly.

He was the highest commander of Guiyi Prefecture. Now almost the entire territory had fallen. If the prefecture was lost again, he would not have enough heads to chop off. He could only fight to the death.

"Brothers, kill them!"

When Admiral Bai Jianming was busy mobilizing troops and preparing to reinforce the west gate, Chen Ziang and his men had already taken advantage of the situation and attacked the city.

They rushed along the streets, and their fierce fighting style made it impossible for the garrison patrol team to stop them.

"Li Lang!"

"Bring people to set fire and burn the house to ashes!"

"promise!"

"Zhang Bao, charge along the streets, and anyone who dares to stop you will be killed!"

"The rest of you follow me to the Governor's Mansion!"

Under Chen Ziang's order, the 1,500 soldiers of the 9th Battalion quickly divided into three groups and rushed towards the city.

In just a moment, many places in the city were burning with raging flames, reflecting the night sky red.

Zhang Bao led 800 soldiers to rush along the street and soon met the reinforcements of the Dynasty Army.

The number of these reinforcements from other places exceeded 2,000. On the narrow street, it was a dark mass.

"Kill the enemy army and each of them will be rewarded with a silver coin!"

Seeing Zhang Bao and his men rushing towards him with bloody swords, a deputy general of the Dynasty shouted coldly, and two thousand Dynasty soldiers rushed forward.

Zhang Bao looked at the sword flashing with cold light, showing his sharp white teeth, and his ferocious face was full of murderous light.

"Brothers, kill them all!"

Although the Dynasty soldiers were overwhelming, Zhang Bao was not afraid at all. Instead, his blood was boiling.

""Roar!"

Eight hundred elite soldiers of the Qinghe Army roared like wild beasts and rushed forward.

On the narrow street, the two sides collided with each other like two raging torrents, and blood splashed.

The front-line soldiers of both sides almost simultaneously thrust their cold-gleaming bayonets and swords into each other's bodies, and were then drowned by the surging crowd behind them.

The dull sound of sharp blades piercing the skin, the clanging sound of swords colliding with each other, screams, wails, and curses made the streets noisy.

This was the first time that the 9th Battalion had fought a street battle with the enemy in the city since its establishment, but every soldier was fearless and slashed forward. Even if they were chopped to the ground, as long as they were still breathing, they would still drag their swords and crawl towards the enemy.

The sturdy and fearless fighting style of the soldiers of the 9th Battalion made the backs of these dynasty soldiers cold, because the rebels they encountered in the past were a group of rabble, but now they found that the opponent was a group of bloodthirsty beasts.
