"Wan Chang! We've really taken Fuling City!"
"That's right! These Han people are distracted by one thing and neglecting another! This has actually benefited us!"
Cheers erupted all around!
He Lan was placed in the most important position, as if he had just won a great victory!
However, just as the remaining thousand or so Xiongnu cavalrymen were celebrating, He Lan's nose suddenly twitched.

At that moment, He Lan's warhorse also began to become restless.

But the next moment! They understood!
A deafening roar echoed from the heavens!
The ground beneath our feet seemed to have trembled from an earthquake!
One sound rang out, followed by a continuous series of explosions!
Those wooden barrels placed in the center of the city were filled with gunpowder!
Although the gunpowder wasn't very refined, the quantity was enormous!
Moreover, Jia Xu placed a large amount of gunpowder at key points in the Fuling city wall.
As the gunpowder exploded, the surrounding walls began to collapse rapidly!
A series of booming sounds rang out! Deafening explosions echoed through the sky!
As Jia Xu galloped away on horseback, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky above Fuling City!
