Chapter 209 The Consequences of the Warhorse's Death



The siege equipment behind him kept moving forward like a roaring beast, tearing open the enemy's defense.

The cavalry rushed towards the enemy, waving their spears with all their might.

Every collision of weapons was accompanied by the sound of metal colliding and sparks flying.

The sound of war drums, shouts, and iron hooves intertwined together to form a majestic symphony.

Today is the best time to attack as agreed by Cui Min and Liang Yan.

It has been a long time since the enemy horses took the poison, and now is the time when the enemy horses are about to die one after another.

Now is the right time to attack.

This time, the tactics decided by Cui Min and Liang Yan were not to delay like before. Instead, they solemnly took out all of Ji Wan's hidden treasures.

The hidden treasure at the bottom of the box is - a bomb!

This time, the catapult behind him threw not stones but explosive packs with lit fuses at the city wall!

On the battlefield, the collision of iron hooves made a harsh metal collision sound.

"Boom!" "Boom, boom!" But in the blink of an eye, the explosive packs were detonated one after another.

The flames instantly dyed the faces of their own soldiers red, and every stab and thrust from the warhorses was accompanied by splattering of blood and flesh.

The enemy's battle formations and defensive equipment in front of the city gate were ruthlessly torn apart, and the infantry were trampled like ants under the iron hooves of their own cavalry.

The soldiers rushed into the enemy camp like tigers descending from the mountains.

The iron hooves trampled the enemy's corpses, and the blood instantly dyed the ground red, with mud and blood foam flying everywhere.

The enemy's defensive city gate was blown away by explosives, leaving only a pile of ruins.

The sound of continuous bombing echoed in a radius of dozens of miles, and the flames made the already bright daylight even more dazzling.

In the back, Sui Ruoxu, who was being carried into the main tent on a stretcher, heard the terrifying noise outside. He propped himself up on his elbows and cried out in shock, "What is that?!"

He then extended his spiritual awareness, but unfortunately his cultivation was not high enough and he could only see the buttocks of his own soldiers.

Cui Min calmly picked up a cup of hot tea, shook his head and blew on it: "This is the key to your highness's victory over the Northern Rong Kingdom!"

Liang Yan had never seen the power of a bomb, and he couldn't help but run to the edge of the camp.

He looked far into the distance, even using some spiritual sense, and only then could he see clearly the power of the explosive pack.

He saw clearly that a bomb fell into the enemy's city wall, and one-third of the city wall collapsed.

Inside Zhengyang City, on the city wall.

The county magistrate was pinned down by the unconscious legal advisor, his ears were buzzing and his vision was pitch black.

His body was covered with rocks and dirt that had fallen from the shattered wall next to him.

The people in the city gathered in the most open place in the middle of the city. Every family huddled together in fear, and the people all turned their eyes to the west where the thunderous sound came from.

"Mom, is the dragon outside turning on again?" A dirty little girl who looked like she hadn't taken a bath for several days subconsciously grabbed the corner of the woman's clothes next to her, her little face full of panic.

The woman was so frightened that she was shaking all over. After a while, she seemed to come to her senses. She knelt on the ground in fear and hugged the crying little girl tightly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Tears streamed down the face of both mother and daughter. They felt that hearing the deafening noise outside, they would meet the King of Hell today.

There were many people like the mother and son, and there was a look of despair in their eyes.

Wasn't it His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhenbei who rebelled? Why does this situation seem like divine punishment from heaven...

In broad daylight, the flickering flames were like a divine punishment, constantly striking the hearts of the people in the city.

The county magistrate struggled to get up and saw this scene. Is God helping the King of Zhenbei?

What on earth could be so terrifying? It’s even scarier than a dragon turning over!

"Report!!! County Magistrate! Enemies have been spotted at the west and north gates! The one leading the west is a woman! The one leading the north is also a woman!"

"Report! The enemy has used catapults again at the west gate! County Magistrate, they have warhorses supporting them, and there's nothing we can do to stop them!"

The west and north gates of Zhengyang City border Chuzhou and Fanzhou respectively.

For Ji Wan's side, these two city gates are key strategic points for taking over Zhengyang City.

So it was not surprising that Cui Min sent people to attack the two city gates separately.

Mei Niang and Xiang Yang are in the north, Tong Xin, Ji Wan and Yun Shuangyi are in the west.

"Quickly send soldiers to guard the city gate! Don't let anyone in!" The county magistrate hit his head, and after the dizziness subsided, he began to give orders.

His face paled slightly. Ever since Chen Chang was found dead this morning, the morale of the city's defenders had been shaken, with some even raising the question of surrender...

He refuted them one by one.

But now the King of Zhenbei has such a powerful weapon, and the entire city is in ruins. How can he hold on?

Even if he wanted to hold on and defend to the death, would he let the people in the city die with him?

Thinking of this, the county magistrate pursed his lips, his heart slightly shaken.

Are we really going to surrender? Let the rebels into the city? No, no, if she enters the city, the people inside will have no chance of survival.

Do we have to rely on a traitor to spare the lives of the people in the city?

After a moment's thought, the county magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the higher ground to the south and see if there are any troops from Wanjun and Guangyuan Commanderies coming to support us! Be prepared to open the southern city gates at any time to welcome reinforcements!"

General Chen sent letters asking for help to these two states and counties a few days ago. Calculating the time, the rescue should arrive within these few days!

And the Governor! When will he arrive on the battlefield? Zhengyang City desperately needs someone of high rank to take charge of the situation right now!
