In an instant, the entire Xiande Prefecture was thrown into chaos.
However, what alarmed them even more was the sight of rows of dark cannons standing in the distance outside the city.
Some of the grassland bandits who had escaped from Shuangchengfu immediately recognized the cannons.
"It's over! It's over!"
Some of the grassland bandits murmured, "We must inform the Grand Commander immediately!"
However, it was too late to do anything at that point.
Outside the city, He Chaojun's Shenji Battalion deployed more than a dozen Divine Might Invincible General Cannons side by side and began adjusting parameters and loading shells.
Before long, everything was ready.
He Chaojun, holding binoculars and gazing at the distant Xiande Prefecture city wall, ordered, "Target: Xiande Prefecture city wall, bombardment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the main shooter lit the fuse.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, a series of iron cannonballs, each weighing twenty pounds, flew toward the city wall of Xiande Prefecture.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The huge iron cannonball struck the city wall, instantly creating a deep crater.
Some iron cannonballs hit the city gate, even breaking it apart from the half-foot-thick gate.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Divine Might Battalion, Divine Martial Battalion, and Divine Valor Battalion were also busy advancing forward.
One after another, thunderbolts were hurled towards the city wall of Xiande Prefecture.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening bombardment echoed across the city walls of Xiande Prefecture.
The already small number of grassland bandits suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander..."
On the city wall, bandits from the grasslands cried out in despair, "We can't hold out much longer here..."
The vast Xiande Prefecture had only about a thousand grassland bandits. Even with the addition of their families in the city, they could not protect Xiande Prefecture.
Moreover, the royal guards outside the city not only had cannons, but also used thunderclaps.
Most importantly, the forces that came to attack Xiande Prefecture this time were the Divine Might Battalion, the Divine Martial Battalion, the Divine Brave Battalion, and the Divine Machine Battalion!
These four battalions were all elite units of the Prince's Guard!
The total strength is as high as nearly six thousand!
Such a large force was deployed outside Xiande Prefecture, naturally with the aim of capturing it as quickly as possible!
We cannot give the main force of the grassland bandits any time to react!
For this purpose, the Shenji Battalion spared no expense in using artillery shells.
Iron cannonballs rained down on the city walls of Xiande Prefecture like hailstones falling from the sky.
In a short period of time, several gaps have appeared in the rammed earth city wall.
The grassland bandits on the city walls could no longer hold them.
Seeing this, the deputy commander became anxious and shouted, "Get all the women, children and children in the city to come up to the city!"
Even if it means death, you must defend Xiande Mansion for me!
However, his order was nothing short of a pipe dream!
How could a deputy commander possibly command the family members who could accompany the army?
Most of the families within the city belonged to commanders.
When danger struck the city, they had already hidden themselves at home.
No matter how much the deputy commander called out, it was to no avail.
Meanwhile, the bombing outside the city continued relentlessly on the city walls.
In a short period of time, the city wall cracked and collapsed.
In the distance, fully armed soldiers of the Prince's Guard were advancing forward.
Ta-da!
Ta-da!
Their steps were synchronized, and their momentum was magnificent.
The murderous intent emanating from it soared straight to the heavens!
Even the deputy commander on the city wall could feel the endless chill.
"Deputy Commander, the Dongning army is about to launch a general offensive!"
A trusted confidant spoke up, warning, "What should we do now? The east gate wall has already collapsed. If this continues, Xiande Prefecture may end up like Shuangcheng Prefecture!"
In fact, the deputy commander would have thought of this even without his reminder.
After all, he was very clear about the strength of the entire Xiande Prefecture.
While they were still hesitating, the royal guards outside the city had already rushed to the foot of the city wall.
"kill!"
Loud battle cries echoed outside the city, waking the deputy commander.
As soon as the deputy commander opened his eyes, he saw some soldiers from the Dongning army rushing up along the breach in the city wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed on the city walls.
The Dongning soldiers who rushed up the city wall brandished their steel swords and slashed at the grassland bandit soldiers in front of them.
puff!
In an instant, the steel blade slashed into the shoulder of a grassland bandit, and with a sudden exertion of force, he sliced off half of the bandit's shoulder.
"kill!"
A captain roared and sprinted forward, his steel blade slashing down with the force of the impact.
In an instant, slaughter broke out on the entire city wall.
The Divine Might Battalion, the Divine Martial Battalion, and the Divine Valor Battalion are all elite units of the Prince's Guard!
A large force!
After reaching the city wall, they seized the initiative on the battlefield by virtue of their numerical advantage!
Thousands of elite soldiers from the Prince's Guard, like a flood, pounded on the fragile Xiande Mansion.
In a short time, they had killed all the grassland bandits on the city walls in this area.
"Let's go into town!"
Shenwei Captain Zhang Cheng shouted in a low voice, "Immediately clear out the remaining enemy forces in the city, and be quick about it!"
Be quick!
This was the key to the attack on Xiande Prefecture!
And each battalion has consistently carried out this requirement to the end!
After the fall of the East Gate city wall, the Shenwei Battalion stormed into Xiande Prefecture.
Like a tiger descending a mountain, they moved as if they were in an empty place!
Before long, the south and north gates were also completely opened.
