Bang!

A sudden gunshot shattered the silence of the official road.

He also shot a soldier on the official road in the head.

The sudden splatter of blood startled the soldiers of Qincheng Prefecture on the official road.

In particular, Zhou Zhiqian, the prefect of Qincheng, who was riding a tall horse, turned pale and tumbled off the horse, looking around warily.

"What happened?"

Zhou Zhiqian looked flustered and exclaimed in surprise.

However, the advisor beside him was also somewhat nervous.

The two lay prone on the ground, cautiously looking around, and asked, "Have we been ambushed?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhou Zhiqian was still somewhat puzzled and asked, "These rioters, how old are they? How dare they ambush us on the official road? Are they tired of living?"

However, before the advisor could reply, a dense barrage of gunfire erupted once again in the distance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The dense barrage of gunfire, like thunderclaps in a summer night, crackled and popped.

The soldiers guarding the city on the official road had never seen such a scene before.

Before the soldiers defending the city could react, bullets had already pierced their heads and bodies.

A bullet hole the size of a finger appeared, and blood seeped out.

One by one, the soldiers guarding the city fell to the ground in pain, howling in agony.

In an instant, the entire army of Qincheng Prefecture collapsed.

For these soldiers of Qincheng Prefecture, they had never encountered war since they joined the army.

Occasionally, troops are dispatched to suppress some unruly people, and that's all.

Never before have we encountered a war like today!

In an instant, all the soldiers guarding the city panicked.

However, the squad members lying in ambush on both sides of the official road did not relax in the slightest.

The dense hail of bullets continued to streak through the air, like an invisible scythe of death, relentlessly reaping the lives of the soldiers guarding the city on the official road.

At the same time, some squad members who were closer also pulled the pins on their grenades and threw them forcefully onto the road.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bombing echoed all over the official road.

Zhou Zhiqian and the others were completely stunned.

What is this?

It can even explode?

Zhou Zhiqian and his group had always been in the southern region and had never heard of or known about the new weapons in Dongning.

Upon seeing him today, he was completely stunned.

Not only Zhou Zhiqian, but also the clerk beside him and a group of soldiers guarding the city were stunned.

"What is this? Heavenly lightning?"

"How can we fight this war?"

"Ah, my legs, my legs..."

...

On the official road, the soldiers guarding the city cried out in alarm.

Some soldiers whose legs had been blown off by grenades were wailing in pain.

The pitiful cries sent chills down the spines of the soldiers guarding the city.

From the very beginning, the battle turned out to be one-sided.

Even with the large army of Qincheng Prefecture, facing such fierce firepower, they were completely outmatched in just a short time.

The soldiers at both ends of the column were completely panicked.

"Run! Get out of here!"

"We can't win!"

"Oh God, please don't hit me..."

...

The soldiers cried out in alarm, trying to escape from the main road.

However, since it was an ambush, there were naturally a large number of people lying in wait.

Although the thirteenth and fourth squads only had two or three hundred people, there were also militia teams led by Mo Shenglan, Huang Yongjing, Yang Wenxue and others on the outskirts of the official road.

During this period, a militia team of over 800 people was formed in Yong'an Prefecture alone.

These militia members waited on the outskirts of the official road.

When Yang Wenxue and the others saw the tragic scene on the official road, they were completely stunned.

His eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing.

"What...what kind of weapon is this? It's so powerful!"

Yang Wenxue asked, his face full of surprise.

"Ha ha,"

Mo Shenglan smiled and said, "This is a hand grenade! Pretty impressive, Lao Yang?"

I had the same expression when I first saw a grenade explode in Dongning.

Now you know why His Highness Prince Xin of Dongning was able to enter the capital from the remote Dongning region?

His Highness Prince Xin, no, His Majesty the Emperor, commands soldiers with extremely powerful weapons and equipment!

You haven't seen this before, there are even cannons!

You'll see it then!

Yang Wenxue and the others were still somewhat shocked.

However, this also strengthened the resolve of these militia members to follow the army of Prince Xin of Dongning!

At that moment, the Qinzhou Prefecture army on the official road began to flee.

Seeing this scene, Mo Shenglan shouted loudly, "Stop them!"

"kill!"

"Surrender and you will not be killed!"

The militia members on the periphery brandished broadswords and spears, shouting loudly.

Hundreds of militia members roared in unison, their voices, though some were loud, were deafening.

The soldiers guarding the city, still in shock, were instantly terrified upon seeing this scene.

They had no idea that there were ambushes waiting for them on the outskirts of the official road.

Seeing the militia members covering the mountains and plains, the soldiers defending the city had no choice but to throw down their weapons and surrender.

Meanwhile, the fighting on the official road was also progressing very smoothly.

Faced with overwhelming firepower, the defending soldiers had absolutely no way to deal with it.
