Lan Yao knew that Jiang Yuxuan would not surrender. After shouting, he turned around and led the army to the north gate.
Xu Gong watched Lan Yao go away as if he were an idiot, and said mockingly: "Idiots are just dreaming. If you can shout surrender, what else do you need me to do."
After almost all the troops were in place, Xu Gong immediately ordered the entire army to attack the city.
Jiang Yuxuan walked down the tower and arrived at the city lord's mansion with Feng Ziying.
As soon as they arrived at the city lord's palace, soldiers came over and reported: "Jiang Tingguan, the west city gate has been breached by Xu Gong, and several other city gates have also been attacked."
After hearing the report, Jiang Yuxuan signaled the soldier to retreat and said to Feng Ziying, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to break out this time."
Feng Ziying looked unconcerned and said generously: "If I can fight to the death with Jiang Tingguan, I will die without regrets."
"We will retreat after all the troops from Xu Gong's two legions have entered."
"I will take a battalion of troops to guard the street in front of the city lord's palace. I can resist for a while."
"Okay." Jiang Yuxuan took a few steps back and forth, and then said: "As long as Xu Gong's army comes in, we still have to break out with the army. After all, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Feng Ziying asked: "Which city gate should I break through?"
Jiang Yuxuan hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "North City Gate, there is Zhang Shunxiao's army."
"That's Lan Yao's army there."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yuxuan replied gloomily.
Now that Jiang Yuxuan had made a decision, Feng Ziying said nothing more, walked out of the office, deployed the defense of the city lord's palace, and led the army to the street in front.
At the other end of the street, Xu Gong led his troops in and rushed towards the streets and alleys.
After charging for a while, Xu Gong's army found that except for Jiang Yuxuan's army who retreated to the streets and alleys after a fierce battle in the square inside the city gate, they did not encounter a single figure.
"Legion Commander, this seems to be an empty city." A flag commander said to Xu Gong.
Xu Gong stopped and looked around, something was indeed wrong.
Although after the war started, all the residents hid in their homes and kept their doors closed, but they would definitely encounter some resisting troops and bold residents who secretly opened their windows to peek.
But now, the whole city is too quiet, so quiet that it's scary.
Xu Gong was suspicious and was considering whether to retreat or continue the attack.
"Report, Army Commander, Jiang Yuxuan's troops were spotted on Central Street ahead." A soldier ran over and reported.
"Hahaha, it turns out that they knew they couldn't defeat me in a street fight, so they all hid on the street in front of the city lord's palace and killed them." Xu Gong gave an order and led the army to move forward.
After walking for more than ten minutes, there were sudden noises from the houses on both sides of the streets, followed by killing shouts. Then doors, windows, doors, etc. shattered and flew out. Many troops rushed from inside and charged into Xu Gong's army.
"There's an ambush."
"Don't panic."
"They don't have many people. Kill them."
"Kill."
Xu Gong's army was thrown into chaos, but quickly stabilized and suppressed Jiang Yuxuan's army who was ambushing the houses on both sides.
After killing several people in a row, Xu Gong saw that the Sesha Kingdom army in ambush did not have many troops. He laughed wildly and said: "Hahaha, you dare to ambush me with this small force. Follow me and kill him, break through the city lord's palace, and capture Jiang Yuxuan alive."
The total number of more than 2,000 troops who rushed out of the house only caused a little confusion for Xu Gong's army and blocked Xu Gong's front army. In less than half an hour, they were defeated and fled in all directions.
The troops behind Xu Gong poured into the city continuously, blocking the streets and alleys.
On the central street in front of the city lord's palace, Feng Ziying watched Xu Gong slowly come towards him, clenching the three-pronged stick tightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Facing a powerful enemy like Xu Gong, Feng Ziying did not dare to be careless and could only fight to the death.
When Xu Gong saw Feng Ziying's army in front of him, he immediately became excited: "Hahaha, great, there are people here to die again, kill them for me, no one will be spared."
While he was speaking, the bloodthirsty battle ax had already knocked away the two soldiers in front of him, and he took long steps towards Feng Ziying.
When Xu Gong came closer, Feng Ziying immediately raised the three-pronged stick to attack Xu Gong.
This attack has gathered 90% of Feng Ziying's combat power. An ordinary junior soldier can stab him eight or nine meters away.
Seeing Feng Ziying's three-pronged thrust, Xu Gong waved his bloodthirsty battle ax and directly blocked Feng Ziying's three-pronged thrust. He raised his fighting power fiercely and knocked Feng Ziying back a few steps. He waved his bloodthirsty battle ax and slashed at Feng Ziying.
The combat power of this ax is enough to break open mountains and split boulders.
Feng Ziying just stood firm and had no time to dodge, so she could only use her three-pronged stick to resist.
Before Sanchazi could touch Xu Gong's bloodthirsty battle axe, Feng Ziying already felt a strong fighting force coming and knocked Feng Ziying away.
Feng Ziying barely stood up and saw several soldiers nearby rushing up to block Xu Gong.
Under Xu Gong's attack, the surrounding soldiers lay down one by one. At this speed, they would be defeated by Xu Gong and his army after resisting for about half an hour at most.
As long as this place is breached, the defense of the City Lord's Mansion will be almost useless. Even if it resists vigorously, it will only be breached in about half an hour at most.
Counting the time, Xu Gong's army has already entered the city more than half way, and another half hour is enough.
Feng Ziying did not rush forward to fight Xu Gong again. If he was killed by Xu Gong, there would be no one here to direct the battle, and he would be defeated by Xu Gong in an instant.
After Feng Ziying retreated, he mobilized the troops behind him to intercept Xu Gong. At the same time, he moved to the entrance of another street and led his troops to resist the attack of Xu Gong's army.
In the city lord's palace, Jiang Yuxuan was sitting on a chair, listening to the battle reports constantly coming from outside.
"Report, Lord Court Officer, Xu Gong's army has already fought with Commander Feng."
"Report, the South City Gate was breached by Leng Yue."
"Report, the east city gate is lost."
"Report, Xu Gong's troops at the East City Gate and South City Gate are about to reach our Lord's Mansion."
"Report, almost all of Xu Gong's army has entered the city."
Listening to the battle report, Jiang Yuxuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Before the war, Jiang Yuxuan had ordered people to move out all the residents in the city. Now the entire city was an empty city. He also ordered five thousand soldiers to hide in various houses, divided into two parts, one part was shallow, used to ambush Xu Gong. Basically all the thousands of soldiers in this part of the army were wiped out by Xu Gong.
There is also a part of the army that is hidden deep in the city, which is also a death squad. Xu Gong's army, which has just entered the city, is busy fighting and it is not easy to detect the hidden army.
"Send the signal and set the fire." Jiang Yuxuan's tone was filled with pity, knowing that if the fire was set off, hundreds of thousands of people would be killed in the sea of fire.
"yes."
After the soldier retreated, the soldiers on the wall of the city lord's palace immediately lit arrows and shot them around, and the fire immediately ignited.
As soon as the fire started, the soldiers hiding everywhere rushed out and ignited the black oil prepared earlier.
Suddenly, the entire city of Zaro was enveloped in flames.
