Boom! Boom!
The muffled sounds from outside the city made General Manager Zhao inside the city look puzzled.
What is that sound?
Mr. Zhao turned his head and asked.
However, everyone in the lobby looked at each other blankly, unaware of what was happening outside.
Just as everyone was wondering, several bandits rushed in, knelt on one knee, and said, "Boss, something bad has happened!"
The government troops are stationed at watchtowers outside the city!
Four or five watchtowers have already been captured by the government troops!
"What?"
General Zhao frowned slightly, a ripple of emotion stirring within him. "The government troops moved so swiftly!"
Was that sound coming from outside the city?
What was that sound?
The bandit was also puzzled, saying, "It came from the watchtower outside the city, it sounded like an explosion..."
"Let's go take a look!"
Mr. Zhao still looked somewhat puzzled.
Immediately, the group headed towards the wall of Dingli County town.
As soon as he reached the stockade wall, General Zhao turned his head and saw a strange light flashing from a watchtower in the western mountains.
What is that?
Mr. Zhao nodded, somewhat puzzled.
Before he could react, a violent explosion followed.
boom!
Thick smoke billowed from the base of the watchtower in the distance. As the smoke cleared, General Zhao could even see that the watchtower was tilting slightly.
Flames were burning at the base of the watchtower, which was teetering on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, General Zhao realized that the sounds he had heard earlier in the city were probably the sounds of an attack on the watchtower.
What kind of weapon is this?
It even exploded!
It even emits flames!
Why haven't I heard of these weapons before?
Mr. Zhao nodded, looking somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, the watchtower in the distance swayed and collapsed.
Meanwhile, over a hundred fully armed government troops rushed out of the mountains and soon occupied the watchtower.
Meanwhile, on the east side of Dingli County, some watchtowers were also exploding and collapsing.
Within a short period of time, eight or nine watchtowers outside Dingli County had been captured by the government troops.
It should be noted that there are only about a dozen or so watchtowers around the entire outskirts of Dingli County.
If this continues, it won't be long before all the watchtowers around Dingli County disappear!
And the fortified village and watchtower defense system that General Zhao relied on will also collapse.
this……
For a moment, Mr. Zhao stood there dumbfounded, muttering to himself for a long time without being able to say a word.
Not only Zhao, the leader, but also the other bandit leaders who came to this side of the city wall with him remained silent.
After the Black Tiger Stronghold was completely annihilated, the leaders of these strongholds also realized the power of the government troops.
However, it's just hearsay, after all.
Today, witnessing it firsthand, everyone's hearts were still stirred.
Even Zhao Zong, the commander who was entrenched in Dingli County, was so easily defeated by the government troops, let alone them.
If Dingli County cannot stop the government troops, what should they do?
For a moment, everyone was muttering to themselves.
The sea breeze blowing from the far southeast carries a hint of saltiness.
These people stood on the walls of Dingli County town, gazing...
More than an hour passed, and the explosions outside the city gradually subsided.
Nearly twenty watchtowers were also destroyed.
Zhao, the head of the village, could only watch helplessly as this unfolded on the wall.
After all, the government cavalry, lurking outside the stockade walls, were keeping a close eye on Dingli County. He knew that if they dared to leave the city to rescue the watchtower, they would likely be hunted down by the government cavalry.
Before long, the government troops in the mountains also arrived at the outer perimeter of the stockade.
Those government troops looked at them with a mocking and arrogant air, and General Zhao could even feel their disdain.
Was it a mistake for me to choose to defend the city to the death and resist the government troops of Dongning City?
For a moment, General Manager Zhao hesitated.
At that moment, a series of loud shouts came from outside the stockade wall—
"Abandon the city and surrender, and we will spare your lives!"
If you stubbornly resist in the city, the watchtower will be your fate!
The shouts echoed through the valley.
Everyone on the stockade wall heard it clearly.
Some of the leaders of the bandit gangs even wavered, but seeing Boss Zhao not far away, they quickly buried the thought in their hearts.
Hearing these shouts, General Manager Zhao was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at them.
At this moment, General Manager Zhao finally realized what was happening.
He knew what the government troops outside the city intended to do.
This is a way of putting pressure on themselves!
Upon their arrival, they swiftly destroyed all the watchtowers outside the city.
Swift and decisive!
They were given absolutely no time to react!
Such speed caused a sense of unease and fear among all the bandits in Dingli County.
"It's numb!"
After a moment, General Zhao snapped out of his daze, realizing he couldn't grant the government troops' wish!
Immediately, General Manager Zhao turned his head and shouted in a deep voice, "Send the archers up here and teach them a lesson!"
"Commander, the government troops are out of firing range..."
One of the leaders replied helplessly.
Before he could finish speaking, the leader saw the cold gaze of General Zhao and swallowed the rest of his words.
The leader quickly waved his hand, signaling the archers to come forward.
At this moment, the royal guards outside the stockade walls took action.
Under Zhang Cheng's command, the soldiers of the Divine Might Battalion ignited bombs and hurled them at the foot of the stockade wall outside Dingli County.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
