The Surprise Attack Succeeds

The Taiping Army wanted to close the city gates!

Suddenly, their vision blurred, and two figures appeared before them.

"Lei Tong, help me conquer this city."

"Yes, sir!"

Lei Tong suppressed the urge to vomit, his skin gradually turning dark, reflecting a metallic sheen.

Wielding two axes, he charged directly at the Taiping Army.

Qin Yan gripped the giant battle blade and the Sky Amber Saber, and in an instant, the blades flashed in all directions.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere at the city gate.

Both were heavy tanks, possessing terrifying close-combat abilities that directly caused the Taiping Army to suffer repeated defeats.

Especially in such a narrow terrain at the city gate!

Like two insurmountable barriers, the Taiping Army could not advance an inch.

Especially the crimson tide that was getting closer and closer behind the two of them!

As time goes by!

Those two demonic figures were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Taiping Army, and a feeling called fear was spreading.

Their general couldn't withstand a single round from these two men and was cut in half on the spot.

Both being high-level martial artists, the vast difference in their strength left them feeling suffocated.

The Slaughter spree has begun.

Han Cui and his men charged into Changxin City on horseback!

The Taiping Army collapsed in an instant, as the rampaging warhorses knocked the soldiers to the ground one by one.

Iron hooves trampled them madly!

One kick and either an arm or a leg would be broken.

These people were mostly wearing leather armor, which offered no protection against the trampling of warhorses.

Qin Yan and his men relentlessly pursued and killed the Taiping Army's top fighters!

Especially Qin Yan and Lei Tong!

The two were far superior in combat strength to the others; even experts at the Qi Origin Realm couldn't last more than a few rounds against them.

As for masters above the Innate Martial Artist level!

They had already killed Qin Yan casually when they surrounded him at the city gate.

Qin Yan's killing efficiency was truly terrifying; both of his swords were weapons capable of wide, sweeping attacks.

A single slash is enough to kill a large number of people.

The attacks of ordinary soldiers were ineffective against him, and they were not given a chance to make a move.

His charge into the enemy ranks was like a blood-red storm, with blood constantly flying through the air.

The stench of blood filled the entire venue.

In addition, due to the sudden attack, many people in Changxin City did not have time to arrive.

The Red Shadow Army has already stormed into the city and is galloping freely on horseback!

Faced with this cavalry onslaught, the Taiping Army was completely unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Even in direct combat.

The Red Shadow Army consisted entirely of martial artists; their combat strength was on a completely different level.

And now, their momentum has completely collapsed!

The Taiping Army is being continuously decimated, Red Shadow Army soldiers, wielding long spears, fiercely pierce the chests of enemy soldiers!

Screams and sounds of fighting echoed throughout Changxin City!

The people were so frightened that they kept their doors tightly shut, and the sounds of fighting continued for a long time.

The noise gradually subsided.

After a while, some of the bolder villagers climbed over the courtyard wall and looked out onto the street.

The streets were littered with the corpses of the Taiping Army.

Soldiers clad in blood-red armor wandered the streets.

One look from him was enough to frighten them into not daring to look again.

The Great Li Army has returned and recaptured the entire Changxin!

They expected to suffer another round of burning, killing, and looting, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to their door.

Qin Yan sat imposingly in the main seat of the government office!

His armor was as good as new, without a single drop of blood on it!

How is the situation?

"We are currently eliminating the remnants of the Taiping Army. Our casualties in this battle are 170!"

Fifty-three of them were killed, and the rest sustained injuries of varying degrees.

Han Chen has already compiled the casualty report!

"Overall, our casualties are not high, and Zhang Xin is already collecting the spoils of war!"

It will probably take some more time.

"Arrange for the repair of the city tower as soon as possible!"

Qin Yan exhaled a turbid aura. Changxin was a strategic location, so its defensive fortifications could not be easily destroyed.

Why did he and Lei Tong rush to the enemy lines to defend the city gate this time?

Destroying it directly would require a lot of time to rebuild, which is clearly not worth the effort.

"Remember to reassure the people in the city and prevent any unrest!"

"Understood!"

Everything transitioned so smoothly.

After completely occupying the area, the Red Shadow Army began recruiting local people to repair the city walls.

Seeing that the Red Shadow Army had not harmed them in the slightest, some of the bolder villagers had already left their homes.

Some people were even hired to clean up the corpses in the streets.

The incineration will be carried out in a unified manner!

The restoration of the city wall is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

One day later!

Shi Xiong and Feng Yi felt terrible when they saw the flags of the Great Li Army flying over Changxin City.

Despite rushing as fast as I could, I still couldn't make it.

"The Red Shadow Army under the command of the Count of Qinghe is indeed extraordinary."

Shi Xiong shook his head dejectedly; the gap between the two was indeed significant.

They were hoping to gain military merit by following Qin Yan, but unfortunately, they couldn't catch up.

Qin Yan showed great enthusiasm for their arrival.

Now they have a combined force of eight thousand men.

With this fortified city before them, even ten times the number of troops would find it difficult to defeat.

All we need to do now is wait quietly for Ye Yingshan to arrive with the main force.

"That's great! I didn't expect Qin Yan to capture Changxin so quickly!"

Ye Yingshan couldn't contain his excitement.

In just a few days since he set off, Qin Yan has taken Changxin with lightning speed!

Lang Futian probably doesn't know that Changxin City has fallen!

Everything happened so fast.

Moments later he issued an order to send 10,000 infantrymen to Changxin.

As long as we hold this gate, we can attack or defend as needed.

"What?! Changxin has fallen!"

Upon hearing this, Lang Futian was shocked and then a surge of anger welled up inside him.

The Great Li Army's counter-offensive had just begun.

Even when tens of thousands of people besieged Yuli City, he was able to hold out.

"That idiot Yuan Dapeng, his three thousand defenders were captured in less than a day."

Lang Futian was seething with hatred at this moment; if he didn't die, he would be torn to pieces.

The Great Li Dynasty is now determined to suppress them.

A chill ran through him.

Hongjia Emperor has already mobilized all the troops he can currently muster.

Leng Qing is also a formidable opponent.

More than 100,000 people launched a feint attack as cover!

Ye Yingshan and his men swiftly cut off his escape route.

Even if troops are transferred back from the south, it won't be enough to hold them off for a while.

This time, they all underestimated Hongjia Emperor's determination.

They also underestimated the strength of the Great Li Army!

"Qin Yan, it's that guy again."

Lang Futian gritted his teeth upon seeing one of the names in the intelligence report.

The enemy launched a lightning-fast surprise attack and captured several cities in quick succession!

He recklessly rushed to Changxin in a day and a night, and it was several days later when he finally received the news.

There was simply no time to deploy it.

They are now completely isolated and helpless!

It would likely take another ten days or so for the Taiping Army in the south to receive the news and rush to their aid.

"It's that jinx Qin Yan again."

Hong Sheng was so angry he almost vomited blood when he received the battle report; they now had to go back to reinforce!

Otherwise, my hometown in Pengzhou would have been ransacked!
