Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Li Yuanzhao stood at the city gate, watching the army surge into the city.

Cannons cleared the way in front, followed by a multitude of soldiers behind.

The generals and soldiers inside the city had already reacted and were rushing towards the city gate.

However, facing the large number of troops, the streets appeared extremely narrow, and the power of the cannons was amplified many times over!

The enemy troops who came to reinforce were blasted into chaos.

Even more terrifying was that the Great Jing army did not immediately occupy the main streets, but instead headed for the city walls.

A section of the city wall above the city gate had already been occupied by the Jing army.

The defending soldiers on the city wall, poisoned and incapacitated, were trampled over by the crowds.

The generals of each battalion had already begun ordering people to seize the city defense cannons, turning the muzzles towards the city.

The remaining soldiers raised their flintlock guns and advanced to seize other parts of the city wall.

By seizing the most crucial strategic locations from the start, the situation was excellent, and it could be said that the siege faced no obstacles whatsoever, proceeding smoothly!

The generals, including Mord, who were watching from outside the city, were dumbfounded, and many of them swayed back and forth on the spot.

How much time had passed?

Originally, seeing the pre-battle pleasantries between the two sides, they had thought that the Great Jing people were quite polite in warfare.

But as soon as the people from Great Jing were sent into the city, the situation immediately changed!

A burly man charged forward and broke through the city defenses, then jumped down from the city wall carrying a person!

It seemed that he had also captured the opposing commander!

They had never seen such a way of fighting; it was like watching a myth unfold!

It would have been one thing if he had single-handedly taken down the city defenses, but it seemed that the Marquis of Jianye was not even satisfied with his subordinate's performance!

He was scolding him harshly.

Were the people of Great Jing all so ferocious?

Mord was confused, and the other generals were also confused, and at the same time, a chilling coldness spread from the bottom of their hearts.

They only used one person to attack the city, and their coordination was so skillful, and they were still not satisfied...

It was too damn scary....

On Fang Zheng's side, Zhou Tie and Xie Xian walked over.

Xie Xian held paper and pen, recording with an excited expression as he walked.

His heart was filled with both excitement and worry.

To record such a grand scene right at the start of the battle, it had to be said that he was filled with enthusiasm and his blood was boiling!

However, if it were printed in the newspaper, he felt that no one would believe it!

Most likely, the common people would scold him for sensationalizing the news.

Brother Biao's performance this time was too excessive; he would have to interview him about the details later.

Zhou Tie looked enviously at Xie Xian's shorthand, unconvinced and indignant, saying: "Zhang Biao, that old boy, besides knowing how to steal my opportunities, doesn't do anything human! Old Xie, write this down for me, he is stealing my credit."

Xie Xian paused his pen and glanced at Zhou Tie, saying: "Old Zhou, not that I'm saying anything, but you probably wouldn't be able to come down if you went up there."

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhou Tie said, his face flushed red, "Didn't you see me practicing martial arts every day on the ship? Zhang Biao is just better at using underhanded tricks, do you think I can't?"

As he spoke, Zhou Tie opened his upper garment, revealing a row of throwing knives and hidden weapons inside.

They were densely packed, looking like he had installed a set of steel armor inside his coat.

Xie Xian looked closely for a moment, then curled his lips and said: "You... you're imitating Brother Biao, aren't you? Your set of weapons is from the previous version, things that people have already used up. The environment has changed now, what's the use of throwing knives? Take a look at Brother Biao, he's obviously using new equipment, wiping out large swathes of enemies."

"These weapons were newly forged by me right before I left, they're still good for killing people!" Zhou Tie stubbornly argued, "I'm a traditionalist!"

Xie Xian gently patted Zhou Tie's shoulder, comforting him: "Forget it, Old Zhou, it's nothing to be inferior to Brother Biao, no one can compare to him, even if you taught him, so what? He has comprehended something better."

"I'm not as good as him?" Zhou Tie jumped up, pointing at his own nose, "You say I'm not as good as him? Hmph... tch!... tch!"

Zhou Tie looked around, trying to pull in a comrade for support.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him, and finally, his face hardened.

"I'm too lazy to argue with him."

"Then you are indeed more awesome than him."

...

Fang Zheng squatted on the ground and untied the knot behind Li Pan's head.

Li Pan was still unconscious, his expression twisted in pain, his face covered in snot and tears, obviously having suffered a lot.

Fang Zheng turned his head and asked: "Zhang Biao, did someone on the city wall call him Your Highness?"

Your Highness, it must be a prince.

Besides his own children, there were no other nobles in Wu Wang's overseas territory, so he should be his son.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

Zhang Biao stepped forward and nodded, saying: "That's right, he even called himself 'This Prince.' Moreover, he also said that this city was originally intended to be abandoned to us, to make us underestimate the enemy and delve deep, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop."

Fang Zheng was overjoyed in his heart: "He really said that?!"

"I heard it clearly, he even explained it to me before he was about to kill me."

Fang Zheng looked at the unconscious Li Pan, his expression strange.

It really was a case of the villain dying from talking too much; was this guy an idiot?

However, Wu Wang was actually planning to lure the enemy in deep... this was definitely a major gain!

Most likely, he was thinking of relying on a large army and advantageous terrain to stage a decisive battle.

This coincided perfectly...

As long as they advanced smoothly, the opportunity would naturally arise, saving a lot of trouble.

It's just that...

Fang Zheng lifted Li Pan's robe and covered his face with it.

He pinched his nostrils with one hand and covered his mouth with the other.

After a while, a painful cough came, and Li Pan slowly woke up.

However, as soon as he woke up, his mind was unusually confused, and he groaned: "Where is this..."

Fang Zheng turned his head towards the city gate.

Seeing the dilapidated city gate and the soldiers on the city wall wearing different uniforms, Li Pan broke out in a cold sweat and instantly woke up!

Even the severe pain in his hands and legs was forgotten.

How did the Great Jing soldiers get onto the city wall?

"Now your city has been captured by Great Jing, you are now a prisoner of Great Jing, I ask and you answer."

Fang Zheng's voice rang out from behind him.

Li Pan's whole body stood on end!

He instinctively wanted to prop himself up, but unfortunately, his finger bones were fractured, and a piercing pain spread throughout his body as he propped himself up.

Li Pan rolled on the ground in pain.

Fang Zheng took the opportunity to ask: "What's your name?"

"Li... Li Pan! Don't kill me, don't kill me! I am the Crown Prince! We can negotiate!"

Li Pan's heart was filled with panic, and he blurted out.

"Are you planning to lure the enemy in deep and annihilate our army in one fell swoop?"

"Yes... ah..."

Li Pan hugged his hands and was already crying like a tearful mess.

It hurt! It hurt so much, this was the pain he had never felt in his life.

His brain was completely dominated by the desire to survive.

Fang Zheng nodded solemnly: "Good, you are very honest, I am very satisfied. Someone come!"

Two Jinyi Guards stepped forward.

Li Pan gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and begged with tearful eyes: "Don't kill me... don't kill me..."

"Kill him! Leave a whole body, give him a quick death!"

The Jinyi Guards received the order, drew their sabers, and stabbed Li Pan twice.

All four stabs were in vital areas, and Li Pan died on the spot, his eyes losing their light.
