"General Chang Mao."
Lan Yu shouted loudly.
"Present."
"I order you to lead the infantry under your command as the vanguard and breach Tieling."
"Take this city, and it will be a great merit." Lan Yu shouted.
"This subordinate accepts the order."
Chang Mao accepted the order with an excited expression.
Afterward.
He returned to his formation.
"Move the cannons forward."
"Move the archers forward." Chang Mao loudly issued his orders.
As the order was given.
The siege formations that had long been prepared steadily advanced toward Tieling City.
More than three hundred cannons moved forward, each attended by several Ming Army artillerymen.

Thunderous roars echoed through the heavens.
All three hundred cannons fired at once.
The cannonballs hurtled toward Tieling City with deafening force.
With the cannons opening fire.
The Ming Army's offensive began.
Chang Mao drew his war saber, pointed it at Tieling City, and shouted, "Kill!"
"Whoever is first to enter the city will be promoted two ranks and rewarded with a thousand gold!"
"Kill for me!"
As the command fell.
Led by their many generals, the Ming Army vanguard charged toward Tieling City.
Under the cannon bombardment.
The anguished cries of Yuan Army soldiers rang out from the city walls from time to time.
The great war had already lasted nearly four months.
The Yuan Army in Liaodong had exhausted its stockpiled cannons. Facing the Ming Army's artillery might, they could only watch helplessly, waiting for the Ming Army to draw near before shooting them down with a rain of arrows.
A siege battle!
Blood and courage came first!
The Ming Army attacked madly, while the Yuan Army within the city fought back as if their lives
