Chapter 1276: Wan'an City Falls

Before dawn is the most difficult time for people.

At this time, most of the soldiers who had guarded the city all night were exhausted and sleepy.

Moreover, everyone knew that if the enemy wanted to attack the city, it would definitely be a large-scale attack.

The noise of so many people attacking could not be concealed no matter how careful one was.

At this time, many of the torches on the city walls had been extinguished.

There were many dark areas around the city wall, which was not very bright to begin with.

Following Wang Qi's order, fifty soldiers quietly entered the moat.

Each of them held a sheepskin bag in his hand.

The inflated sheepskin bags not only protected the explosive packs inside from being soaked by the river water, but also provided them with some buoyancy, allowing them to cross the river even with heavy shields.

The moat was not very wide, but they were still extremely careful, for fear of making any noise.

The river was only a few feet wide, but it took them more than a quarter of an hour to cross it successfully.

After quietly climbing out of the moat, everyone quickly approached the city gate along the dark area around the city wall.

At this time, their heavy shields came in handy.

If the enemy discovered their actions, they could rely on the cover of heavy shields and quickly rush to the city gate.

The group was extremely careful and kept moving along the dark path towards the city gate.

At this moment, the torches on the city gate tower were almost extinguished, and there was a large dark area at the city gate.

But even so, the crowd did not rush to the city wall rashly, but hid in a dark place to observe first.

After making sure that no one was looking down at the tower, the two soldiers quickly rushed from the darkness to the bottom of the city gate tower. The others held heavy shields or crossbows to support their actions.

Fortunately, the two men moved quickly and the soldiers who were dozing off on the city wall did not notice them, allowing them to successfully reach the doorway of the city gate.

This position happens to be the blind spot of the soldiers on the city wall. As long as the soldiers on the city wall do not lean half of their bodies out of the wall to look down, it is basically impossible to find them.

As they took their positions, Shen Chong on the other side also led 500 elite soldiers carrying ladders and quietly approached this end of the moat.

As soon as those people blew up the city gate, they rushed in to control the city gate and lowered the drawbridge to make it easier for the subsequent army to cross the moat.

Below the city gate, one soldier placed the explosive pack in place, while another soldier quickly took out a lighter and lit the fuse of the explosive pack.

The two men did not dare to stay at the doorway any longer and quickly came outside.

"Who?"

A soldier on the city wall suddenly discovered two dark shadows under the city and immediately shouted.

With the soldier's loud shout, the drowsy soldiers guarding the city around him suddenly woke up.

Just as everyone stuck their heads out to look below the city wall, a red light suddenly burst out.

"boom!"

At the same time, a deafening roar was heard from the city gate.

With this loud noise, the sturdy city gate shattered, and even the entire gate tower shook.

The sudden movement startled everyone.

Shen Chong on the other side of the moat stared with his eyes wide open, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"This this……"

Shen Chong stared at the city gate stupidly and even forgot to give the order to cross the river.

"What are you still standing there for? Come on, cross the river!"

It was not until Wang Qi's loud shout rang out that Shen Chong finally woke up from his dream.

"Quick, put down the ladder!"

Shen Cong roared, trembling all over.

When Shen Chong's soldiers lowered the ladders and quickly reached the other side of the moat through them, dozens of soldiers before them had already rushed towards the gate of the city wall before the enemy could react.

It was not until this time that the Le Dynasty soldiers on the city wall reacted.

"Enemy attack!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Stop them, don't let them rush into the city!"

"Quick, shoot the arrow..."

The soldiers on the city wall were in chaos.

"kill!"

Shen Chong roared loudly and rushed towards the city wall with his sword. The soldiers behind him crossed the river using long ladders.

Some people fell under the enemy's arrows before they crossed the river, and some people were knocked to the ground by huge rocks falling from the city wall when they rushed to the city gate.

But more people had already followed Shen Chong to charge towards the city wall, and the soldiers behind them were still crossing the river in a steady stream.

"boom!"

Just as they were charging towards the city wall, another loud noise was heard from inside.

Even though the enemy troops were continuously charging into the city, the soldiers defending the city were once again frightened by the loud noise and stood still.

"kill!"

Shen Chong roared loudly, his eyes turning red.

Now, he no longer cared whether these people were his compatriots.

He only knew that they made the right choice and they followed the right person!

Yun Zheng has such a terrifying weapon in his hand. Not to mention Wan'an City, even Qiming City cannot withstand the attack of such a weapon.

Li Chao could never be Yun Zheng's opponent!

"Whoosh..."

A volley of arrows hit Shen Chong's shoulder.

Shen Chong seemed to feel nothing and rushed forward quickly with the soldiers behind him.

"kill!"

"Kill!"

After successfully passing through the city wall, Shen Chong immediately led his troops to the city gate tower.

At this moment, Shen Chong and his companions seemed like gods descending from heaven.

The soldiers of the Le Dynasty watched helplessly as the two city gates were breached. Their morale plummeted and their fighting power declined rapidly.

As Shen Chong and his men continued to charge forward, many people dropped their weapons and fled, or simply surrendered.

Shen Chong led the army behind him and continued to charge and finally arrived at the gate tower of the first city gate.

"Quick, lower the drawbridge!"

"Stop them!"

"quick……"

While Shen Chong led his troops to resist the defenders who kept rushing towards them, he also directed the soldiers to lower the drawbridge.

As the soldiers began to operate the winch, the heavy suspension bridge was slowly lowered.

"beep……"

The clarion call for a full-scale attack sounded.

"kill!"

The army that had already assembled was in high spirits and rushed across the suspension bridge one after another.

"The enemy is coming!"

"Run!"

"Run away..."

Seeing the drawbridge lowered, the morale of the defenders plummeted again.

At this moment, everyone knew that Wan'an City could no longer be defended.

If I don't escape now, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to escape again.

Listening to the shouts and cries of killing coming from the city, Cui Jingdao felt dizzy.

Finished!

Wan'an City was lost!

Such a huge city with such complete defense measures, yet it was breached by the enemy in less than half an hour?

"Sir, hurry up! The enemy is coming, it will be too late if we don't leave now!"

The guards brought the horses and shouted at Cui Jingdao.

Cui Jingdao was suddenly startled, and quickly mounted his horse and galloped towards the east gate.

At this time, the sky had already brightened.

The fighting on the western wall was over.

Wang Qi's elite troops have also entered the city to cooperate with Shen Chong's troops to wipe out the remaining enemies, but more soldiers are still rushing into the city through the suspension bridge.

Yun Zheng silently looked at Wan'an City in front of him with a calm expression on his face.

After this battle, the Le Dynasty should seriously consider surrendering, right?

Not far from Yun Zheng, Gao Yong stared blankly at the army pouring into the city, his face filled with fear...
