Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens more grenades exploded on both sides of Hanyang Gate, instantly leaving the defending soldiers, who had been able to maintain their attack formation, in a daze.
The attacking formation completely collapsed.
Meanwhile, more and more Tiger Warriors poured into Silla City, advancing towards both sides.
"Quick! Three of you, keep up!"
An officer whispered.
The soldiers behind him were marching quickly forward.
Before long, the Tiger Warriors tore a huge hole in Silla City.
Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city wall panicked. Especially when they saw that they couldn't recapture Hanyang Gate and were instead pushed back by the Tiger Army soldiers near Hanyang Gate, they instantly collapsed.
Like a flood bursting its banks, the Silla soldiers guarding the city fled into the city.
"We can't win! Run!"
"If we don't run now, it will be too late!"
A desperate cry echoed from the walls of Silla.
The collapse of one place also caused the collapse of the entire city wall defense system. After all, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the city at present, while most of the others were temporary constables and residents of the city who were temporarily captured to make up the numbers.
These people, despite having an overwhelming advantage, were still able to bolster their prestige from the city walls.
As soon as the situation began to deteriorate, they ran faster than anyone else.
After all, everyone wants to survive this battle.
In the face of life and death, everyone unleashes their instincts.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense hail of bullets pierced the darkness and sank into the chests of the defending soldiers.
More and more soldiers defending the city fell in pools of blood.
The situation at Hanyang Gate was completely beyond saving.
"Your Highness, the Hanyang Gate area is now completely under our control!"
An aide approached Li Xin and said, "Our troops are expanding our gains from the Hanyang Gate area! We expect to capture Silla City completely during the day!"
"very good!"
Li Xin put down his binoculars and said, "Tell Wei Dahai to keep a close watch on the ambush troops in the north of the city. We can't let the high-ranking officials in Silla City escape this time!"
"clear!"
The staff officer acknowledged and quickly turned to leave.
...
Right now.
Inside Silla Castle.
Prime Minister Kim Tae rushed back to the Prime Minister's residence in a panic, panting heavily.
A noblewoman approached and asked anxiously, "Master, what's the situation outside the city? Everyone in our household is in a state of panic. What should we do?"
"What to do? What to do?"
Jin Tai coldly rebuked, "What else can we do! Pack your things and get ready to leave!"
"Walk?"
The lady was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood what Kim Tae meant.
Meanwhile, the entire Prime Minister's residence was in complete panic.
They all knew that Silla Castle was completely indefensible and it was time to retreat.
The noblewoman returned to her residence and began to pack her valuables.
The commotion at the Prime Minister's residence naturally alerted the entire city of Silla.
After hearing about the Prime Minister's residence's actions, some high-ranking officials realized that the situation was not good and went home to pack their belongings.
The subtle changes, though small, altered the mindset of the soldiers defending the city.
When the soldiers on the front lines learned of this news, the already collapsing defense system could no longer hold on.
A faint glimmer of dawn appeared on the distant horizon.
Under the azure sky, fully armed Tiger Legion soldiers were advancing rapidly.
"Sixth Battalion, seize the Prime Minister's Residence within half an hour! And be quick!"
A regimental commander gave the order in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The battalion commander responded and led his soldiers toward the Prime Minister's residence.
After the defending soldiers collapsed, there was no significant resistance within the entire Silla city.
The Tiger Legion soldiers advanced very smoothly.
As the first rays of the eastern sun shone upon Silla City, six battalions of soldiers stormed into the chaotic Prime Minister's residence.
"Everyone, put your hands behind your heads and kneel down in surrender!"
After storming into the Prime Minister's residence, a squad leader shouted, "Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader fired a shot into the sky.
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed throughout the Prime Minister's residence.
The servants and maids in the courtyard were so frightened that they immediately knelt down on the ground, not daring to move.
Where is Kim Tae?
The squad leader, pulling a servant aside, asked the question.
"have no idea."
The servant shook his head, trembling, and said, "Before dawn, the Prime Minister returned to his residence and began packing his things..."
"Pack your things?"
The squad leader frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong, and quickly shouted, "Quick! Go to the backyard!"
The Tiger Legion soldiers who entered the Prime Minister's residence quickly headed towards the backyard.
However, Jin Tai was not found in the noisy Prime Minister's residence.
After some questioning, they learned that Kim Tae had already run away.
The sixth battalion commander gave a wry smile and said, "Report this news to His Highness!"
At the same time, the Tiger Army stormed into the Silla royal palace.
After Kim Tae fled, the Tiger Army swept through Silla City, quickly seizing key positions.
By around nine o'clock in the morning, the Silla royal palace, government offices, and other facilities had all been occupied by the Tiger Warriors.
At the same time, a huge banner with the character "信" (trust/faith) was also flying over Silla City.
