This battle not only scared away the Western Zhou army stationed in Rongcheng, allowing Rong Chengxuan to successfully occupy Rongcheng, but also frightened the 200,000-strong Shizhou army, making them see the deterrent power from Rong Chengxuan.
This is not a war at all!
This clearly shows that Rong Chengxuan brought his men to unilaterally attack the Western Zhou army.
Even the Dragon Swallowing Formation of the Second Prince of Western Zhou, which they feared the most, was no match for Rong Chengxuan.
But now, he just threw out that strange black thing from his army, and then the Second Prince of Western Zhou and his men who were setting up the battle formation were blown away by Rong Chengxuan's men! ?
Yes, it was blown away right in front of them! They also felt it was incredible that there was such a weapon in the world!
The people of Lanzhou, which is closest to Shizhou, also stayed up all night. From the moment the first grenade thrown by the Shenhuo Camp exploded, everyone stood up. They thought there was an earthquake, and they came out of their houses and stood on the streets, looking in the direction of Shizhou.
But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see anything. Lanzhou, as a border city, had high walls, keeping everything outside out. But the sound of explosions, completely unfamiliar to them, continued to echo, as if the earth itself was rumbling and trembling.
Some people thought that an earthquake had occurred in Shizhou and wanted to escape from the city before the earthquake became too large. Before they could do anything, the soldiers defending the city quickly got the first-hand information. Of course, this information came from their own eyes.
They stood on their own city wall and looked across with telescopes. Although there was a large area of Shizhou between Rongcheng and Lanzhou, when they used the telescopes to look, they could still faintly see the little lights on the other side and the fighting shouts of 200,000 troops.
Especially when the wall of Rongcheng collapsed, the flames over there almost broke through the darkness and reached the sky.
Someone in Shizhou saw clearly everything that happened on the opposite side. They saw the city wall of Rongcheng collapse and be destroyed in an instant with a bang. The soldiers standing on the city wall ran down the wall with disbelief on their faces, stumbling towards the prefectural government of Shizhou.
But the whole way there were people standing on the street, and he was stopped by the people. They were also curious about the sounds they heard. The soldier who went to the prefectural government to report the news was stopped and was not allowed to leave. He had no choice but to tell everything he had just seen on the city wall.
The people spread the news from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon everyone knew that on the first night of Prince An's arrival in Shizhou, he took the initiative to attack the already lost Rongcheng, and he captured Rongcheng in an instant with extremely fierce momentum.
People remembered the legend of the God of War again. The legend that Rong Chengxuan was the God of War had been circulating for several years. It was said that Rong Chengxuan fought very quickly and was invincible. As long as he was there, it was impossible to lose.
Because the border is so far away, most people who hear such legends know that they are lies. There is no such thing as invincibility! When General Yun was still here, he was often defeated, so they all thought that the generals of Beichen should be at General Yun's level in fighting.
The facts proved to be just as they thought. After that, a new general came in, but they still suffered the same defeat. It was just a change of people who continued to suffer the defeat. They were all the same fake goods, just the same.
But all this changed after they saw Rong Chengxuan fighting. Rong Chengxuan was indeed worthy of the title of God of War, and was indeed worthy of the legend, or perhaps he himself was the legend!
Now, Prince An's god-like power was instantly ignited across the border. Who said Beichen didn't have a general capable of leading troops into battle? Rong Chengxuan was it! In the eyes of the people of the border, Rong Chengxuan was now a god descended from the sky!
Some even said, "In my opinion, Prince An is a god! Otherwise, can anyone tell me who would travel all the way here without resting for a few days and nights and then attack Rongcheng? And judging by Prince An's attack speed, Rongcheng would have been taken down by him and his men in less than an hour. Doesn't that make him a god?"
Then someone immediately echoed, "Yes! Didn't you hear what this official said? The walls of Rongcheng were knocked down by Prince An and his men. We've lived in Shizhou for so long, and we've watched Rongcheng being built bit by bit. We all know how high and thick the walls of Rongcheng are. If it weren't for the trickery of the Xizhou people, Rongcheng wouldn't have been lost. But Prince An actually managed to tear down the walls?"
"It wasn't pushed, it was exploded with that rumbling sound!" someone corrected. "That sound was like thunder in the sky, rumbling, and the ground was shaking, like there was going to be an earthquake..."
"Then it's not a thunderbolt? Since you all say that Prince An is a god descended from heaven, then it's not surprising that the weapon Prince An uses is a thunderbolt, right?"
As soon as this statement came out, someone immediately echoed it, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Prince An is the immortal who came down to earth to experience the calamity!"
They had never met Rong Chengxuan so closely before, and they all thought he was the kind of unforgivable person described in the novels and storytellers. But when they saw Rong Chengxuan fighting so closely today, they realized that those novels and storytellers had slandered him a lot.
When Rong Chengxuan was a god sent down from heaven to earth, people believed this statement without a doubt and could not agree more with it. So they knelt down in the direction of Rong Chengxuan and kept shouting, "Prince An is a god sent down from heaven! Live Prince An a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
The official who originally wanted to go to the prefectural government to report the news to the prefect was also infected by this atmosphere and lost control of himself. He just acted on his instinct. When he reacted, he was already kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to Rong Chengxuan several times with the people of Shizhou.
He was even more excited than the people of Shizhou, because those people only thought that Rong Chengxuan was an omnipotent god after hearing his description.
But he wasn't. He had personally witnessed the destruction of Rongcheng from the city walls, how Prince An had led his men with that thing called "heavenly thunder" and blasted Rongcheng into ruins in an instant. Not only did the common people firmly believe that Rong Chengxuan was a true god, but he himself was also convinced of this.
