Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Arrows rained down from the Liaodong city wall.
Faced with all this, the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion of the Divine Might Army showed no fear and went straight to meet them.
Even when hit by arrows, the soldiers would only groan and endure the pain as they continued to charge towards the city wall.
The soldiers behind them, holding thunderbolts, hurled them forcefully toward the city wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thunderbolts exploded on the city wall, buying the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion of the Divine Might Army some time.
"superior!"
A company commander shouted, and he immediately turned and rushed forward.
The Dongning-made flintlock musket, fitted with a bayonet, was aimed at a city-guarding soldier and stabbed him directly.
At the same time, soldiers from the Sixth Battalion of the Divine Might Army also rushed onto the city wall.
A melee ensued on the city walls.
Fight!
Blood was everywhere!
Blood and gore!
The soldiers of the Divine Might Army were all elites in the royal guard, and they were even well-trained in close combat.
With unwavering determination, the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion of the Divine Might Army quickly established a foothold near the east gate of Liaodong City.
After gaining a foothold on the city wall, the brothers behind them rushed up as well.
"Quick! Keep up! Keep up!"
The battalion commander clenched his fist and waved it, shouting, "We can't give the enemy a chance! Advance quickly! Be fast!"
Under the command of the Sixth Battalion Commander, fully armed soldiers advanced rapidly towards the perimeter of the city wall.
The soldiers defending the city walls had suffered heavy casualties and low morale during the previous fierce bombing.
Now, facing such a fierce offensive, they are naturally no match.
Gradually, the defending soldiers were at a disadvantage.
A captain, waving his fist, roared hysterically, "Up! Up now!"
"Push them off the city walls!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bullet flew from afar and pierced the captain's forehead.
A bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared on his head, instantly pulverizing the contents of his skull.
Before the captain could even groan, his body convulsed, and he collapsed to the ground, dead.
The surrounding soldiers guarding the city were completely stunned.
At such a distance, to kill with a single blow is truly terrifying!
"Kill them!"
A deafening roar erupted from afar.
That fierce killing intent sent chills down the spines of the soldiers guarding the city.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets flew from afar, instantly felling a large number of the city's defenders.
This completely threw the defending soldiers into a panic. Forgetting to cry out, they immediately turned around and ran down the city wall.
"Run! Prince Xin's army is too fierce!"
"We can't win!"
...
The cries of alarm caused the soldiers guarding the city gate area to completely break down their defenses.
More and more soldiers who were defending the city joined the ranks of those fleeing.
The city's defenses collapsed as the defenders were overwhelmed, and the Divine Might Army soldiers advanced rapidly.
In a short period of time, the entire East Gate area had fallen into the hands of the Sixth Battalion of the Divine Might Army.
When the huge "Xin" banner fluttered above the East Gate, Wei Jun and Zhang Cheng in the distant command post could see it clearly.
"pretty!"
Wei Jun clapped his hands and sighed, finally feeling relieved.
Originally, Wei Jun was somewhat worried that it would be difficult to take Liaodong City with only a few thousand soldiers of the Shenwei Army.
Now that the East Gate has been successfully occupied, it means that Liaodong City is not invincible!
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Zhang Cheng was also somewhat relieved.
Once they capture Liaodong City, a major threat from the rear will be eliminated. Then, they can march towards Yuguan City without any worries!
"Tell all units at the front to launch an offensive while the momentum is there!"
Zhang Cheng shouted in a deep voice, "Don't give the enemy any breathing time! We must take Liaodong City in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
The adjutant responded and quickly relayed Zhang Cheng's order.
Meanwhile, more and more Shenwei Army soldiers entered Liaodong City from the east gate.
The fall of the east gate of Liaodong City was like a large piece of wood cracking open.
The Shenwei Army soldiers who rushed into the city were like a sharp dagger, forcefully stabbing down along the crack.
The cracks gradually widened and spread throughout the entire Liaodong City!
While the soldiers of the Seventh and Eighth Battalions of the Divine Might Army continued to expand their victories within Liaodong City, they also seriously impacted the defense line around the North Gate.
The North Gate defense line, which had been holding out, collapsed instantly when attacked from both sides.
Soldiers from the third and fourth battalions of the Shenwei Army, who were leading the attack on the north gate, seized this opportunity and rushed directly onto the north gate wall.
"It's numb!"
Near the North Gate, a captain with a gloomy face asked coldly, "What's the situation at the East Gate?"
How long has it been since the East Gate fell?
"Idiots! A bunch of idiots!"
However, no matter how much the captain cursed and swore, he couldn't change the fact that the East Gate had already fallen.
The presence of Shenwei Army soldiers nearby, threatening the defenses of the North Gate, made him realize just how difficult the situation would be on the North Gate side.
"Captain, we can't hold on much longer!"
One of his trusted men clasped his hands in a fist and said, "We're being attacked from both inside and outside the city. If this continues, we're afraid we'll all die here!"
"My lord, you must think of something!"
"I'll think of a way? What way can I possibly think of!"
The captain was somewhat indignant and waved his hand, saying, "Let's just leave the area near the East Gate and avoid seeing it altogether!"
