Chu Zhongyuan smiled. He was just worried about how to get into the city, and now this opportunity had come to him!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongyuan immediately ordered his guards and troops to shoot down those large balls.

Yes, he not only had a million-strong army of Gu people under his command, but also 100,000 soldiers and his secret guards.

The 100,000 soldiers were survivors who had been captured after the massacre of the city, and he recruited them all into his army.

After all, those Gu people are mindless and difficult to control.

There are some things that require cooperation that cannot be achieved by others; someone else must be there to complete them.

Therefore, we still need a large army of living people!

Su Yujiao and the Crown Prince stood on the city wall, using binoculars to observe the situation below.

Although Chu Zhongyuan could not be seen, the soldiers could be seen nocking their bows and shooting arrows into the sky.

"Heh, you idiot."

"Did he think that an arrow could hit a hot air balloon high in the sky?"

In fact, she and the Crown Prince had long studied the range of the arrows of the Great Ming Kingdom. The furthest they could shoot was no more than a hundred paces, or a little over 150 meters. If they used crossbows, they could shoot up to 500 meters.

Therefore, she instructed the pilot to keep the hot air balloon's altitude at around one kilometer.

Even if the men below kill all the archers, you won't be able to touch them.

If anything goes wrong, the soldiers on board will choose to self-destruct mode, ensuring that the hot air balloon does not fall into Chu Zhongyuan's hands.

There was no other way; war inevitably results in death. Exchanging the sacrifice of a few for the survival of the majority was already a remarkable victory.

"Your Highness, it's too high, we can't hit it at all."

"Their weapons are incredibly powerful; we're just going to be blown to smithereens."

"Your Highness, please think of a solution quickly."

"Yes, Your Highness, this can't go on. Although we have a large number of people, we will eventually run out of them."

As they spoke, the soldiers at the city gate began pouring water down again, followed by several homemade bombs being thrown down, sparks flying and igniting raging fires wherever they landed.

They burned those Gu people who only knew how to attack and didn't know how to dodge, leaving them covered in flames.

They felt no pain, had no feelings, and, engulfed in flames, continued to charge forward recklessly.

It is not until it is burned to ashes that it is considered completely still.

Chu Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes slightly; that wasn't water, but kerosene!

To be precise, that was gasoline!

"What should we do?"

The generals were terrified; the enemy's weapons were simply too powerful.

Even with a large number of cannon fodder, it wouldn't be enough to consume them so quickly.

Who knows if they will have even more powerful weapons later on? They haven't even entered the city gates yet, and they've already lost so many men.

Seeing this, Chu Zhongyuan curled his lips. Since that's the case, then there's no other way but to attack head-on.

Since those Gu people have no thoughts or feelings, it makes them easier for him to control.

If a living person were faced with danger, they might back down, but these Gu people would not.

Chu Zhongyuan shook the bell in his hand, controlling all the Gu people to crash into the city wall.

He didn't intend to physically break down the city wall, but rather to make them pile on top of each other in a human pyramid.

He wanted to pile those Gu people into a high mountain, and no matter how high the city wall was, it would eventually reach its end.

Those Gu practitioners climbed up one by one, stepping on the corpses of other Gu practitioners, until they eventually reached the top of the city wall.

Just one person entering can cause massive chaos.

Once one person can climb up, a second and a third will follow...

If chaos breaks out at the top, the army will have the opportunity to climb the city walls and open the city gates from the inside.

Soon, his method proved effective. Some of the Gu people, who were quick and agile, were able to climb the Gu Mountain as if walking on flat ground, moving with lightning speed.

"Oh no, someone's climbed up here."

"This isn't a human, it's that kind of monster."

A soldier wielded a large sword and slashed, sparks flying from the Gu man's neck; the sword severed the neck but not the neck.

The soldier was stunned. How could this be?

How could this monster's neck be so hard?

While he was still stunned, the Gu man suddenly leaped forward and pounced on the soldier, pinning him down and tearing off half of his face.

"Ah...ah..." the soldier screamed incessantly.

The surrounding soldiers retreated in fright. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still terrified when they saw such a terrifying monster for the first time.

"What are you standing there for? Cut his neck."

"If we don't kill him, are we just waiting for him to turn into a monster?"

Suddenly, someone shouted angrily, and everyone reacted, grabbing their knives and slashing.

This time, he managed to sever the Gu man's head with a single blow.

The moment the Gu man's head was severed, the crowd felt less afraid.

It turns out that this monster was not invulnerable to swords and spears, nor was it indestructible.

But why couldn't it be cut just now?

Everyone glanced at the knife in the dead soldier's hand; it wasn't a newly issued weapon from the military camp, but a rusty one.

The Crown Prince clearly issued the city guards the latest weapons, so why is he still using old weapons?

The answer is unknown, since the person is already dead.

But at the same time, they gripped their steel knives even tighter, for these were life-saving weapons.

The next second, the soldier who had just died suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, his body twisted and contorted in a bizarre way.

Everyone recoiled in terror, their faces ashen. He had clearly been dead, yet he had risen again, and like the monster from before, his eyes were grayish-white, and he was biting people in a frenzy…

They had long heard that those bitten would turn into monsters, and that was what made those monsters so terrifying.

But seeing it with my own eyes was still quite a shock.

At that moment, everyone seemed to be stunned, and they still unconsciously retreated.

Only one soldier reacted in time, and the moment the Gu man pounced, he chopped off the man's head with a single strike.

As everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they looked back and saw that the city wall was in complete chaos. They hadn't expected that so many monsters would climb up in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers on the city wall were thrown into disarray, and the situation began to turn against the capital.

At this moment, the Emperor, the Crown Prince, Su Yujiao, and others were standing on the city tower inside the palace, using binoculars to observe the situation at the city gate.

They watched as the Gu people climbed up the city wall and fought fiercely with the soldiers.

The three men's expressions changed; they hadn't expected that such a high city wall could be climbed by them.

How exactly did they do it?

Could it be that those monsters are very good at climbing walls?

Su Yujiao's face was grim: "They weren't climbing the wall, they were forming human pyramids, climbing up over mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"Send more people up to kill the Gu people."

"Tell your men to guard the city gates and prevent anyone from sneaking in. Open the city gates."

"They're just climbing the wall, we can handle that."

"If the city gates are wide open and a million Gu people flood into the city, then everything will be over."

"We must hold on until nightfall."

"After nightfall, I flew the helicopter to find Chu Zhongyuan's hiding place."

"If we can control him, perhaps we can find a way to control these Gu people."

The prince seemed to be deep in thought. These monstrous Gu people had no thoughts or feelings, and even less ability to discern.

But why don't they bite Chu Zhongyuan?
