Empire

The cold swords cut through the dewy morning light. In the hazy fog, teams of Qinghe soldiers with serious faces marched out of the camp.

In just a moment, countless murderous and strict military formations filled the wilderness outside the provincial capital, densely spreading to the distant horizon.

The momentum was magnificent and gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Forests of bayonets, snow-like swords, and flags covering the sky and the sun, all that came into view were heavy and strict military formations.

The huge infantry formation was deployed in front, and on both wings were silent cavalry units.

The war horses were restlessly digging the soil with their hooves, and the cavalrymen had grim faces.

The Qinghe Army assembled outside the city to prepare for the attack. The city wall of the provincial capital was also in a state of chaos. Amid the hurried shouting of the officers, teams of panicked garrison soldiers drove up to the city wall.

""Sir, it seems that we will have to fight a fierce battle today."

Looking at the mighty Qinghe Army outside the city, the officials and generals on the top of the city all looked particularly solemn.

Although they repelled the attack of the Qinghe Army yesterday, they paid the price of thousands of casualties.

Now that the Qinghe Army has come out in full force, the strength of their defenders is too weak, which makes everyone feel uneasy.

"Everyone should do their job and prepare to fight to the death."

Supervisor Yang Fang looked much more haggard, but his eyes were still sharp.

"promise——"

Following the order from Inspector Yang Fang, the officials and generals gathered around him dispersed and rushed to their own battle positions.

The deputy general Luo Dagang was in charge of commanding the siege yesterday, and now the commander-in-chief Zhang Dayuan has taken over the command and is personally commanding today's battle.

Although the deputy general Luo Dagang wanted to avenge his previous humiliation, he had missed the opportunity to make merit after Chen Ziang and his men discovered the secret passage leading to the city last night because the commander-in-chief adjusted the deployment.

Now Luo Dagang has cursed Chen Ziang countless times in his heart. If Chen Ziang had not intervened, he could continue to lead his troops to attack and regain the face he lost yesterday.

Unfortunately, opportunities are hard to come by. In this battle, the deputy general Luo Dagang, who was originally the protagonist, has become a supporting role.

Surrounded by a group of Qinghe Army generals, the commander-in-chief Zhang Dayuan had a smile on his face and seemed to be sure of victory.

"Drum roll! Attack!——"

After Zhang Dayuan retracted his gaze, he ordered the messenger

"The commander-in-chief has given the order! Beat the drums and attack!"

More than a dozen messengers beside Zhang Dayuan quickly rode their horses to the various military formations and shouted loudly.

""Boom!"

The dull drums of war sounded, shaking people's hearts.

""Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull and rhythmic sound of war drums spread far away, making the atmosphere suddenly tense. With the command flags waving, 10,000 elite Qinghe Army infantrymen holding shields and swords moved forward slowly towards the provincial capital.

Behind these elite sword and shield soldiers, archers holding longbows followed closely behind and pressed towards the provincial capital.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"......

The moving and strict military formations were like steel fortresses. The neat steps, the roaring shouts, and the fierce murderous aura made the defenders pale and their ears buzzed. The garrison soldiers on the top of the city were waiting in a fierce battle under the shouts of officers at all levels. Their defeated and tense faces had betrayed their fearful hearts.

Supervisor Yang Fang was still sitting on the top of the city, but no emotion could be seen on his face.

A new round of fighting began with the sound of wolf-toothed heavy arrows breaking through the air.

Countless Qinghe Army soldiers launched a fierce attack on the provincial capital like a tide.

Under the command of Supervisor Yang Fang, the defenders fought bloody battles and fought to the death. The war entered a white-hot stage from the beginning.

When the soldiers of both sides started a bloody battle on the top of the city, in the dark tunnel, the thousand-man general Wang Hu was leading an elite force to sneak into the city quietly.

The exit of the tunnel was in the backyard of the Shen Mansion. At this moment, the Shen Mansion was controlled by the Qinghe Army soldiers, and a steady stream of soldiers were still coming out of the tunnel.

Although the frontal siege was huge, the defenders did not know that it was just to attract their attention. The real killer was inside the city.

After the thousand men forced Wang Hu to crawl out of the dark tunnel, the hundred men waiting in the backyard immediately greeted Li Tiechui.

"Did they alarm the Dynasty defenders?"

After Wang Hu, a thousand-man general, quickly looked around the surrounding environment, he asked Li Tiechui in a low voice.

Li Tiechui, a hundred-man general, was holding a heavy sword in his hand. He shook his head and said,"Those bastards didn't notice us."

Wang Hu nodded with satisfaction, nodded to several officers who participated in the action and said,"According to the plan."

Soon, this group of murderous Qinghe soldiers opened the gate of Shen's Mansion and ran straight to the city gate along the street.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides of the city were fighting fiercely, and they didn't notice that an elite group of Qinghe soldiers had sneaked into the city.

Wang Hu, a thousand-man general, and his group ran quickly along the street to the city gate. The refugees on both sides of the street saw this group of murderous soldiers running over, and they were so scared that they couldn't avoid them.

At a street corner, two Dynasty soldiers were guarding here, responsible for maintaining law and order in the city. They noticed the restlessness of the refugees in the distance.

"They, they are the enemy army!"

The two soldiers saw Wang Hu and others rushing towards them through the refugee group, and their faces turned pale.

"Go and report to the Inspector General, the enemy troops have entered the city!"

A soldier of the Dynasty Army reacted quickly, hurriedly pulled his companion beside him, and turned to the direction where the fighting was in full swing.

"call out!"

""Swish!"

But just after the two Dynasty soldiers turned around and ran a few steps, they heard a sound of breaking air behind them.

A heavy wolf-tooth arrow pierced the body of a Dynasty soldier. The soldier relied on inertia to run forward a few more steps before falling to the ground.

The throat of another Dynasty soldier was pierced by an arrow. He covered his bleeding throat and collapsed to the ground unwillingly.

Wang Hu and his men didn't even look at the two Dynasty soldiers who fell to the ground. They ran past their bodies and ran towards the city gate.

The city gate was guarded by a Dynasty Army team of 100 people. When they saw Wang Hu and others rushing along the street with murderous intent, they were also stunned. They didn't expect that Qinghe Army soldiers would appear in the city.

""Puff, puff, puff!"

The dull sound of the sharp arrows piercing through the body woke up the stunned Dynasty soldiers, and they reacted.

"It's the enemy army, it's the enemy army, stop them!"

A general of the Dynasty Army shouted loudly, but in the blink of an eye, more than 30 of his men had been killed by arrows.

"Kill!"

Qianren Jiang Wang Hu shouted coldly, and rushed forward with the wolf-like Qinghe soldiers.

In just a few breaths, the two sides were already face to face.

Facing the sword of Qianren Jiang Wang Hu, a panicked Dynasty soldier tried to block it with his shield.

""Puff!"

But the next moment, amid the flying wood chips, his shield was split in half by the sharp sword, and the blade, which was still moving, slashed the chest of the Dynasty soldier.
