But can this city be defended?
Peng Erlang immediately had his men take Gu Nian's products to the city gate under cover.
The soldiers of Lange thought they were going to ram the city gates, so they started shooting arrows and throwing stones.
However, the Zhou army simply placed the items at the city gate and lit the fuse.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The city gate was blown up.
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Charge in!"
Peng Erlang raised his sword high and swung it forward!
"kill!"
The Great Zhou general rushed in.
The city gate was destroyed, and there were no longer any surveillance or stones rolling down from the city wall.
The Great Zhou army quickly stormed into the city.
The people in the city had fled back to their homes after the explosion, locking their doors and windows and daring not to come out.
Because this is the easternmost city, there are 50,000 soldiers in this city.
Unfortunately, Peng Erlang led an army of 100,000, and in one day, the city's government offices were looted, all the officials were arrested, and all the garrison commanders were captured.
In an instant, this border town of Lange was occupied by the Great Zhou.
The urgent report was sent back to Kuncheng the next day.
General Peng breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Shouxin instructed the messenger to inform Peng Erlang: "Have General Yang send someone to tell the people in the city that if they are worried about war, they can relocate to Kunzhou. In our Great Zhou, there will be no war. The condition is that from now on, you will be a citizen of our Great Zhou and can enjoy all the conveniences of our Great Zhou. Otherwise, you will be like the soldiers of Langge, with only one path: death!"
The messenger then went to Lange.
General Peng looked at Gu Shouxin: "Does Lord Gu intend to let all the cities of Langge fall one by one?"
Gu Shouxin raised an eyebrow: "We don't necessarily have to wait for the Flowing Sand Kingdom to disrupt the Cloud Sea Tribe's plans. We can take the initiative and attack directly, conquer the Langge Kingdom, and head west. If my calculations are correct, we will be heading west, the Flowing Sand Kingdom will be heading east, and then we will wipe out these two treacherous bastards in the desert, letting them be buried in the yellow sand!"
General Peng frowned: "What if King Lang uses Xue'er to threaten us?"
Gu Shouxin remained silent and did not speak.
General Peng pursed his lips, glanced tentatively at Gu Shouxin, and said, "Whether Xue'er has been taken to Langge Kingdom or not, none of us know. If the Langge King and his son really threaten Xue'er with her life, I believe that with Lord Gu's intelligence and wisdom, you are absolutely confident that you can save Xue'er. Niannian, Renren, and your sister-in-law have always had a good relationship with Xue'er, right?"
Gu Shouxin smiled: "Grandpa, General, have you forgotten that Cheng Huaiyu, Xie Nanfeng, and others are still in the capital of Langge? The two messages Cheng Huaiyu sent were accurate and not what King Langge and Peng Mu wanted us to see. Xie Nanfeng and the others haven't been discovered yet. Xue'er herself knows about this. Xue'er isn't usually diligent in her martial arts practice, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know kung fu. Xue'er is usually lazy, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. I believe Xue'er can rejoin our people. If I've misjudged her, as the General said, Niannian, Renren, and my wife have such a good relationship with Xue'er, if she were really taken hostage, I couldn't just stand by and watch her die. Besides, it's Peng Yang leading the troops, not me, Gu Shouxin!"
General Peng cupped his hands in apology: "I apologize, Lord Gu, I was narrow-minded!"
