At dawn, in the capital city of Fuyu.

On the city walls, the defending soldiers stood ready. They had already received news of the Sushen's annihilation and knew that the Qin army's iron hooves were about to trample their land. Fear was written on every face, but they had to force themselves to remain calm.

"Your Majesty!" A general rushed into the hall, "The Qin army is at the city gates, numbering at least 300,000!"

The King of Buyeo was pale, and the wine cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. He had already heard about the fate of Goryeo and Sushen, and knew that this was a war of annihilation.

"Order all tribes," he gritted his teeth, "to defend the city to the death! Also, send envoys to contact the surrounding tribes and request reinforcements!"

"Your Majesty," the old minister advised, "the Qin army is advancing with overwhelming force; I fear the various tribes will dare not send troops to aid them. Perhaps..."

"Not as good as what?"

"Why not send an envoy to sue for peace? Perhaps the Qin people will show leniency..."

"Hmph!" The King of Buyeo sneered, "Didn't you see the fate of Goryeo and Sushen? That wicked devil didn't come to conquer, but to exterminate our people! If we surrender, we'll only die faster!"

The old minister was speechless. He also knew that this was a war of life and death, and there was no room for negotiation.

Meanwhile, outside the city.

The wicked man stood before the enemy lines, coldly observing the city. Compared to Goguryeo and Sushen, Buyeo's defenses were indeed more robust. But under the iron hooves of the Qin army, it was nothing more than an earthen wall.

"Order the entire army to prepare to attack the city!"

The Qin army quickly formed ranks, equipped with catapults, siege ladders, and battering rams. Archers led the way, followed by heavy infantry, with cavalry covering the rear. This was a standard siege formation, and everyone knew their role.

"Release the arrows!"

At a command, countless rockets roared out and landed in the city. The dry houses were quickly set ablaze, flames shooting into the sky. Panic-stricken cries echoed from within the city; the Fuyu people clearly hadn't expected the Qin army to launch a fire attack first.

"Keep firing!" the wicked man said coldly. "This Grand Commandant will turn this city into a sea of ​​fire!"

More rockets flew into the city, igniting more and more fires. Thick smoke billowed, blotting out the sun. The Buyeo people who tried to put out the fires became targets for the archers on the city walls, falling one by one.

"Your Majesty!" panicked cries echoed through the city, "Fire! The granaries are on fire!"

The King of Buyeo was ashen-faced. This was their main granary; if it were destroyed, the city would run out of food. But at the moment, there was no one to put out the fire; all the soldiers were fighting off the Qin army's attack.

"rush!"

The Qin army began pushing rams, launching a fierce attack on the city gate. Simultaneously, siege ladders were brought up the city walls, and countless soldiers began to climb. The defenders on the walls fought back desperately, hurling stones and pouring hot oil.

"put!"

Thousands of soldiers opened fire simultaneously, a dense rain of arrows covering the entire city wall. The Fuyu defenders were instantly riddled with arrows, suffering heavy casualties. The specially designed armor-piercing arrows easily penetrated their armor, their barbs embedding themselves deep within their bodies.

"ah!"

Screams of agony rose and fell. The defenses on the city walls quickly crumbled, and the Qin army surged onto the ramparts. Amidst the flashing blades, countless Buyeo defenders lay dead in pools of blood.

"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!" a general rushed in to report. "The city walls have been breached! The Qin army has already stormed in!"

The King of Buyeo, his face ashen, ordered the entire army to retreat into the inner city!

With the order to retreat given, the Fuyu garrison began to retreat towards the inner city. However, the Qin army's advance was far faster than they had anticipated. Countless soldiers were caught up and killed on the spot. Blood stained the streets, and screams filled the air.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!"

The Qin army surged into the city like a tidal wave, unleashing a frenzied massacre. They killed indiscriminately, regardless of age or gender. Those who knelt and begged for mercy were hacked to death, and those who tried to escape were caught and executed on the spot.

"No! We surrender..."

A group of Buyeo nobles knelt and begged for mercy, but were mercilessly cut down by the Qin army. Their heads rolled in pools of blood, their eyes still filled with despair and fear.

The inner city was quickly breached. The Qin army poured in like a flood, sweeping away all remaining resistance. The King of Buyeo, with his last personal guards, retreated to the palace hall, preparing for a final stand.

"Your Majesty!" the guards cried out, trembling. "The Qin army is already at the gates..."

"Then let us die in battle!" The King of Buyeo drew his sword. "Since we can't live, let's take a few Qin soldiers with us!"

The palace doors were smashed open, and countless Qin soldiers poured in. The guards fought desperately, but were no match for the Qin army's overwhelming force. Soon, only the King of Buyeo remained, isolated and helpless.

"So you're the King of Buyeo?" The wicked man strode in, coldly eyeing the trapped beast. "This Grand Commandant will see just how capable you are, you ignorant fool!"

"You wicked man!" the King of Buyeo gritted his teeth. "You demon! I, Buyeo, have no grudge against you, why must you be so ruthless?"

"No grudge?" the wicked man sneered. "You conspired with Goguryeo and Sushen to rebel against Qin. That crime alone is enough to warrant your death ten thousand times over!"

"Nonsense!" the King of Buyeo glared angrily. "We are merely an alliance for self-preservation! Who doesn't know that your Qin state has conquered the six states, and now you intend to conquer the north? If we don't join forces, we will be wiped out sooner or later!"

"Well said." The wicked man nodded. "Since you knew the outcome, why didn't you surrender sooner?"

"Surrender?" the King of Buyeo sneered. "Surrendering to a demon like you will only hasten your death! I'd rather die in battle than bow down to someone like you!"

"Since that's the case," the wicked man drew his longsword, "then so be it!"

A flash of sword light, and the head of the King of Buyeo fell to the ground, rolling down the steps. Blood gushed out, staining the ground red.
