Empire

Qinghe Province, capital.

At dawn, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Dynasty Garrison, who was guarding the west gate, was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. The commander of the 3rd Battalion jumped out of the warm bed and quickly opened the wooden door.

"what happened?"

""Commander, the enemy troops are on the move!"

A panicked garrison soldier outside the gate answered.

The commander of the 3rd battalion turned around, grabbed his sword, and ran straight to the city wall.

At this moment, a tense atmosphere was already spreading on the west gate wall, and teams of garrison soldiers with serious faces were rushing up the city ladder. The commander of the

3rd battalion walked to the battlement, put his hands on the parasol, and looked at the Qinghe Army camp from afar.

He saw teams of Qinghe Army soldiers in armor and sharp weapons pouring out of the camp and heading towards them.

"Go and inform the Inspector immediately that the enemy army is about to attack the city!"

The commander of the 3rd Battalion saw the Qinghe Army soldiers leaving the camp continuously. His face became particularly solemn and he called a soldier to inform the Inspector Yang Fang.

When the Inspector Yang Fang learned the news and rushed to the top of the West City, in the field outside the West Gate, the iron army arrays with murderous aura had already been formed.

Twenty thousand Qinghe Army soldiers set up their formations in the field, with flags flying, spears like forests, and fierce murderous aura soaring into the sky.

Luo Dagang, the deputy general in charge of commanding the siege, rode his horse in front of the formation, surrounded by a group of lieutenant generals and battalion commanders. They looked at the capital in the morning light in the distance, and their eyes were full of fierce murderous intent.

Luo Dagang was the confidant and beloved general of the Marshal Zhang Dayuan. This time he was named as the main general of the siege. While he was happy, he was also under some pressure.

After all, there were so many comrades watching behind him. If he lost the battle, he would not only lose face.

But also embarrass the Marshal. Therefore, this battle can only be won and not lost, otherwise it will become a laughing stock.

"Everyone, there are a lot of gold, silver, treasures and women in the city. Tell the brothers, the commander said that as long as we break through the capital, we will not stop fighting for three days!"

Looking at the panicked Dynasty garrison soldiers on the city wall in the distance, Luo Dagang's face flashed a fierce look.

"Thank you, Marshal, thank you, Lieutenant General!"

After hearing what Lieutenant General Luo Dagang said, the lieutenant generals and battalion commanders around him became excited, and their breathing began to become rapid.

They originally joined the uprising army only because they were forced to live by the officials of the Far East Dynasty.

But now they no longer need to worry about food and clothing. They want to enjoy wealth and glory, and all of this requires them to use the sharp swords in their hands to seize it!

"The 1st Battalion is the vanguard, and the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, and 4th Battalion follow in echelons!"

""Yes!"

Following Luo Dagang's order, the lieutenant generals and battalion commanders rode their horses straight to their own army formation.

"Beat the drum!"

""Boom!"

The drums were beating, and the dull sound spread far away, shaking people's hearts.

The commander of the 1st Battalion drew out his sword, and the bright sword shone coldly in the morning light.

"Attack!"

The commander of the 1st Battalion thrust his sword forward.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Five thousand Qinghe Army soldiers burst into a roar like a tsunami, and marched forward.

The sharp swords and the forest of bayonets made them like a moving steel fortress, slowly pressing towards the capital city.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"......

The sound of the war drums became more and more urgent, and the five thousand Qinghe Army soldiers were full of murderous intent.

Seeing the Qinghe Army siege troops slowly approaching, the Supervisor Yang Fang on the tower looked solemn.

""Sir, this place is dangerous. Leave it to us. You should go back to the Supervisory Office."

A lieutenant general was worried that something might happen to the Supervisory Officer Yang Fang, so he persuaded him to leave the dangerous city wall.

"I will be here today to supervise the battle in person!"

Yang Fang rejected the advice of the lieutenant general and insisted on staying on the city wall.

The officials around him saw that Yang Fang insisted on supervising the battle here, so they could not leave and had to stay on the city wall.

Five thousand Qinghe soldiers shouted slogans that shook the sky and slowly approached the city wall.

The garrison soldiers guarding the city wall also pulled their bows and crossbows and were ready to fight at the shouts of officers at all levels.

However, these garrison soldiers were not field troops. They usually only maintained ground security in various prefectures and counties.

If the provincial security forces had not been annihilated, they would not have been temporarily assembled to fight.

Most of them had no combat experience. Seeing those Qinghe soldiers with fierce faces Many soldiers turned pale, and some were trembling.

But the Inspector Yang Fang was sitting on the city wall, and those murderous guards had already drawn their swords.

If they dared to turn around and flee, those fierce guards would definitely be the first to chop off their heads.

Although they were terrified, these garrison soldiers had to bite the bullet and guard their positions.

Soon, the siege troops of the Qinghe Army slowly approached the moat. Following the order of the officer, the soldiers carrying ladders and wooden boards quickly stepped forward. Amid the sound of clanging, the ladders approached the other side of the moat one after another, and the soldiers holding the wooden boards rushed up and laid the boards on the ladders.

"Archers, get ready!"

After seeing that the Qinghe Army soldiers had entered the shooting range, the garrison battalion commander responsible for guarding the west gate raised his right hand high.

"shoot!"

"Buzz——"

Following the commander's cold shout, countless sharp arrows rained down on the city.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!......"

These sharp arrows flew through the air with a whistling sound, heading straight for the Qinghe Army soldiers who were busy laying the wooden boards.

"Shields!"

Rows of wooden shields were quickly raised, blocking the Qinghe Army soldiers.

""Tap, tap, tap!"

The powerful arrows penetrated the wooden shield one after another, turning it into a hedgehog.

"Puff!"

""Ah!"

But there were not many Qinghe soldiers with wooden shields, and many arrows penetrated their bodies and blew up their heads, raising a cloud of blood mist.

Amid the shrill screams, the Qinghe soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

The soldiers who were laying wooden boards on the ladders in the moat fell into the water one after another, splashing water everywhere, and the bright red blood spread in the river.

"Archers, fight back!"

The commander of the 1st Battalion saw his soldiers being killed by arrows one after another, and his face was full of ferocity.

"Quick, quick, shoot!"

The Qinghe soldiers carrying longbows also shot back at the top of the city.

"Puff!"

"Well!"

""Ah!"

Facing the arrows whistling from below the city, many soldiers of the garrison troops on the top of the city were shot and fell to the ground, screaming one after another.

Amid the dull sound of war drums, whistling arrows flew across the city, constantly piercing the bodies of soldiers on both sides, splashing blood.

In just a moment, countless bodies of Qinghe Army soldiers floated in the moat, the river water was dyed red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
