If we're talking about attacking a city, then of course we're going to attack a city!

The bullet has been flying for quite some time!

It's time to close the net!

At noon that day, when the sun was shining directly on the earth, Li Xin gave the order to attack.

Having a strong sense of time is a basic requirement Li Xin places on all members of the Prince's Guard.

After the general offensive began, the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion took the lead in setting up simple catapults outside the city.

These catapults, however, were not used to throw stones.

After the catapults were built, bombs were placed on them one by one.

"beat!"

At the command of Captain Zhang Cheng, soldiers beside the catapult immediately ignited the thunderbolts, and then someone lowered the grappling hooks.

Driven by a huge winch, the catapult hurled thunderbolts toward Dingli County.

One after another, jet-black thunderbolts flew over the city wall of Dingli County.

The bandits on the city wall stared wide-eyed, their hearts filled with unease.

Even General Manager Zhao, who was positioned at the city gate tower, couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Defense! Defense!"

On the city wall, the bandit leader shouted loudly.

However, at that moment, thunderbolts began to fall from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening explosion instantly resounded on the city wall.

The thunderous explosion sent countless iron nails and fragments flying, embedding themselves in the flesh and blood of the bandits nearby, instantly creating a cloud of blood mist. The rapidly spinning iron fragments also tore the bandits' bodies into a bloody mess.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Another round of thunderous roars descended from the sky.

The explosion ignited the pine resin that was being carried nearby.

The city walls of Dingli County were mostly built of wood. When they were exposed to pine resin, they burst into flames like dry firewood meeting a raging fire.

The mountain winds fueled the fire, which then spread across the city walls.

In an instant, the bandits on the city wall were completely panicked.

The bandits, who had been full of fighting spirit, were so frightened that they stood frozen in place.

Even General Manager Zhao was completely stunned.

Although I had witnessed the power of the Thunderclap before, that was in an open area outside the city.

Even now, experiencing the power of the thunderbolt at such close range still makes Mr. Zhao's heart pound violently.

If this continues, they might not even have a chance to fight back.

Was it a mistake to choose to oppose the government troops?

Mr. Zhao stood there, speechless for a long time.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw another thunderbolt flying towards the city gate tower where he was.

Always be careful with your head!

His trusted confidant beside him shouted a reminder.

Immediately, he leaped forward to pounce on General Manager Zhao's head.

Mr. Zhao squinted, staring intently at the black dot in the sky.

The black dot gradually grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, it was already above their heads.

boom!

A violent explosion rang out instantly, and the sparks that flew out instantly turned into flames.

Below the city gate tower, General Manager Zhao, who was looking up, had no time to react before being struck in the body by shrapnel from the explosion.

Mr. Zhao grunted, his eyes wide open. Before he could react, the burning tung oil had already dripped onto his body.

In a moment, Mr. Zhao's head had turned into a human torch.

His trusted confidants, unable to put out the fire in time, also became engulfed in flames.

Flames roared into the sky.

In an instant, the entire city gate tower burst into flames.

"ah?"

Not far away, some bandit leaders stared wide-eyed at the fire raging on the city gate tower.

Mr. Zhao, please give me your head?

The bandit leader hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Quick! Go save Chief Zhao!"

However, amidst the towering flames, one could see everyone struggling in the inferno.

After struggling for a moment, it disappeared completely.

And the flames spread.

It’s over!

It’s over!

The bandit leader was stunned.

With such a massive fire, it's unlikely anyone could have survived.

"General Manager Zhao's head is dead!"

"General Manager Zhao's head is dead!"

Let's surrender!

...

At that moment, shouts came from the other side.

A hint of anger flashed across the bandit leader's face. Just as he looked toward the direction from which the sound came, he saw another round of thunderbolts crashing down.

At this moment, the bandits on the city wall became utterly terrified.

"That's terrifying!"

"We can't defeat the government troops!"

"Run!"

With cries of fear, more and more bandits fled the city walls in a frenzy.

Some bandit leaders also knew that resistance was pointless.

Especially with Mr. Zhao's head falling dead on the spot, there was absolutely no chance of turning the tide!

surrender!

It became the only option for these people.

Only by surrendering might one have a chance to survive!

"Quickly! Open the city gates and surrender!"

More and more people chose to surrender.

Looking at Dingli County, with its side gate wide open and bandits throwing down their weapons and surrendering, Zhang Cheng was somewhat surprised.

"Damn it! This is only the beginning, and these bandits have already surrendered?"

Zhang Cheng cursed somewhat unhappily.

However, he still ordered a halt to the bombing.

At this time, most of the bandits in Dingli County surrendered.

In an instant, thousands of people knelt on the open ground by the small river outside Dingli County.

"Let's go into town!"

Mu Yunyan shouted in a deep voice.
