The bullet burst from the barrel and struck Wang Taiwei between the eyebrows.
Wang Taiwei felt a sudden dizziness, his consciousness went blank for a few seconds, and a dense pain came from his head. He reached out and touched the bloody hole on his forehead, and his hand was covered in blood.
He widened his eyes and turned to look at Zhou Cheng, who was not far away. Zhou Cheng sarcastically blew the smoke from the muzzle of his gun.
"Since Lord Wang is so loyal, then go ahead and wait for Emperor Yan in the Underworld!"
"All troops, attack the city!"
"Those who surrender will be spared; those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Knock knock knock knock........."
The piercing sound of drums echoed outside the city.
“Kill!!!”
“Kill!!!”
The sounds of fighting assaulted Wang Taiwei's ears.
As Grand Commandant Wang's consciousness blurred and he slowly collapsed, the Zhou family army bypassed him and charged towards Hong Xincheng.
He stared wide-eyed at the arrogant Zhou Cheng with resentment and hatred. He opened his mouth as if to curse something, but instead, blood gushed from his mouth.
He could only helplessly watch his life slip away and slowly die.
The last second before passing away.
Wang Taiwei seemed to hear a loud explosion coming from the city gate. After a while, it seemed that the city gate of Hongxin City had been blown up, and the broken pieces of the city gate crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
The guards inside the city panicked and fled in a frenzy, abandoning their weapons.
Why didn't they muster the courage to resist?
Why didn't they gather together to defend the city?
It's completely undefendable!
The lead group of one hundred assault soldiers, armed with their rumbling submachine guns, swept across the area. In just a few minutes, the stench of blood filled the entire region, and the ground was covered with countless corpses.
Not a single guard could get within 300 meters of Zhou's army alive.
"Your Excellency the Prefect!"
"The city has fallen!"
"Hongxin City has completely fallen! Zhou Cheng has led his army to occupy the city!"
“............”
"Something terrible has happened!!"
"A messenger from the cavalry reports that Hongxin City on the border was breached yesterday, and the prefect and Grand Commandant Wang were killed by weapons. Zhou Cheng is now consolidating the Zhou family army and is heading towards Jinshan City!"
"Zhou Cheng refused to negotiate and has completely rebelled!!"
“.......
"Report!!! Jinshan City was breached by Zhou Cheng late last night. The prefect and officials were all killed. It only took two hours from the attack to the capture of Jinshan City. The killing power was unstoppable."
"Report!! Latest battle update, Zhou Cheng is now charging towards Fengtou City!! What do we do? How can Fengtou City, with only 30,000 to 40,000 guards, possibly hold out!"
"Quickly send a message to the capital seeking help..."
"The imperial court is in grave danger; the Yan Kingdom is likely facing a change of dynasty..."
All the cities in Yan Kingdom were in an uproar!
All the officials were filled with anxiety, waking up several times at night, fearing that news of Zhou Cheng's attack on the city would reach them the next day.
In just a few days, three cities fell.
Faced with modern grenades and guns, no defense of this dynasty was able to withstand it, and no scheme could withstand a single bullet. In this war, the imperial court was left with no power to fight back.
At this rate of siege, it probably won't take more than a month or two before the entire Yan Kingdom will be renamed Zhou.
On the other side...
Having broken away from the siege army, Cheng Xianyi, who had chosen to go to the eastern Yuanlong Ancient City to make an appointment, had already arrived at the gathering place.
Yuanlong Ancient City is located in the central capital city in the east.
This place has an excellent location, close to the sea, and is rich in resources and wealth. It is very close to Nanyue Academy, separated only by the sea.
"master."
“Yuanlong Ancient City is much more prosperous than the capital of Yan Kingdom. It is probably among the top three in the Central Plains.”
"Which major power in the east does this region belong to?"
Cheng Xianyi stood on the street of Yuanlong Ancient City, her face obscured by a thin veil. She looked up at the capital city in the east and replied without emotion, "It does not belong to any country."
"So no one cares about it? That can't be right. It couldn't have become this wealthy if no one cared about it."
Cheng Xianyi said calmly, "Yuanlong Ancient City is officially a three-no territory, without a lord, and is under the unified jurisdiction of the entire East. However, the taxes it pays every year are directly under the jurisdiction of Nanyue Academy."
"This is the unspoken rule in the East."
"Therefore, no force dares to seize this city. It is precisely because no one dares to seize it, there is no war, no killing, and no destruction, that the people's livelihood is so prosperous."
Ziyan was astonished.
What happened to not fighting or grabbing?
On the surface, they seem to care about nothing and not compete for anything, but in reality, they want all the benefits.
Just as the two were talking, two figures, one in red and one in black, rushed out from around the street corner. The woman in red, who was in the lead, looked around excitedly: "The Pavilion Master has arrived?"
"Where is it? Where is it?"
"Sect Master!!"
"You've finally arrived! Chichi has been waiting since yesterday. A secret message came from the Yan Kingdom branch: something terrible has happened!"
