I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 399: The Yellow Croaker Sect's Destruction

It was he who came up with this plan. Shen Changgong nodded in agreement, thinking it was very useful, so he asked him to do it.

The whole thing took no more than a dozen minutes, and didn't take up much time, but it was extremely effective in destroying the enemy's morale.

Shen Changgong said calmly to the messenger,

"Let's fire."

The messenger immediately waved the flag and shouted loudly,

"fire!"

After receiving the order, the people of the Shenji Camp immediately lit the fuse and fired the shells that had been prepared long ago.

Boom boom boom!

As more than a dozen cannon shots were heard, large pieces of the city wall were immediately shattered. Whether it was bricks and stones or rebels, all beings were equal within the scope of truth.

The rebels who were not hit were all dumbfounded.

The large amount of broken bodies and blood spread on the city wall and splashed on their bodies, making them almost forget to breathe.

The Imperial Master was in an even worse situation. He was resting at the city gate when suddenly there was a loud bang and the second-level city gate was directly shattered. Large pieces of rubble fell down, forcing him to flee in a hurry to avoid them, leaving him covered in bruises.

A beam fell down and hit him directly on the leg, breaking his thigh bone.

Then he heard the believers on the city wall outside screaming like crazy and running back and forth. Through the broken window, he saw those people running down the city.

These rebels, to put it nicely, are rebels, but to be honest, they are just civilians with knives.

These people received professional training every day, had no decent weapons or armor, and had never seen a large-scale battlefield. They saw such bloody scenes every day, which they could not accept mentally and had severe physiological reactions.

They rely on their faith and the belief that they are invulnerable to swords and guns to show off their power.

But when they find out that they too will die and that the enemy is stronger, their fighting spirit will immediately collapse.

It's okay to let them bully those who are weaker than them, but when facing the regular army of the court, facing these "dog officers and soldiers" as they call them, they collapse at the first touch.

Cannons fired from the East Gate, and the other three gates immediately opened fire.

Originally, Shen Changgong planned to fire three rounds of artillery first to destroy the enemy's manpower and fighting spirit as much as possible, and then blow up the city gate and rush in to engage in a melee.

But it’s no use now. After one round of artillery fire, the enemy has almost run away.

Shen Changgong sighed, shook his head and said,

"Blow open the city gates and let's go in and take over the city."

"As ordered!"

In the second round of artillery fire, only two guns were fired, which directly destroyed the city gate.

There were still many rebels hiding behind the city gate. They subconsciously thought that it was safe here and that the shells would only fall on the city wall and could not pass over the wall and fall into the city gate.

But when the city gate was blown apart, the damage they suffered was even greater than that suffered on the city wall.

Firstly, because the city gate is a confined space, the power of the explosion is maximized.

Secondly, he was stabbed to death by the sharp wooden fragments that were blown away by the broken city gate.

Following Shen Changgong's order, the Changning army rushed in with weapons in hand.

The Tianyu Army and another Changning Army also rushed into the other three city walls.

Their goal was simple: to kill anyone wearing a yellow turban.

Shen Changgong was well aware of the speed at which cults spread and the harm they caused, so this time he would rather kill the wrong person than let them go, and he would never let any cultist escape.

The four armies immediately rushed into the city, divided their troops to occupy the city walls and gates, and launched a ruthless killing of all the Yellow Turbans inside.

At this point, the Yellow Turbans realized that not only were their enemies' firearms powerful, but their individual combat capabilities were also much stronger than theirs.

Some who wanted to resist attacked the Yan army with knives, but were met with several long spears.

The Yan army also practiced the military formation for small-scale street fighting.

The entire Shuozhou County was in chaos.

Although it is not ruled out that some people took off their headscarves and disguised themselves as civilians to sneak in, it doesn’t matter. They will have to stay for a while to provide disaster relief afterwards. Reports are welcome.

Because most of the people in this sect are from outside, people nearby can recognize them at a glance even if they don’t know them.

Most of the people in this city were forced to do this and have no backbone.

Shen Changgong led the remaining troops into the city and saw a rough man coming towards him. He was holding a yellow scarf in his left hand and holding the imperial teacher with a broken leg in his right hand. He was walking towards him with a smile.

Behind Shen Changgong were Fairy Meiyan, Gongsun Wan'er, Tu Que Ling and others.

"The man surnamed Shen is our undercover agent, the Flying Leopard General Guo Gaohong."

Fairy Meiyan pointed at the man and said.

Shen Changgong looked at the man walking towards him.

Guo Gaohong came in front of them, clasped his hands and said,

"Your Majesty, Boss, I caught this old fellow pretending to be dead in the city gate tower. What do you think we should do with him?"

Shen Changgong smiled at him,

"Well done! You've made a great contribution this time. Jiutian Tower will reward you handsomely. Bring this person here first. Let's go capture the fake emperor and interrogate him together."

"As ordered!"

Guo Gaohong grinned, looking very happy.

The Imperial Master's face turned pale, he snorted coldly, glared at Guo Gaohong, and cursed,

"You are a traitor and a traitor. You shall not die a good death. You will not be blessed by the Fish God in your afterlife!"

Guo Gaohong slapped the Imperial Master in the face and cursed angrily,

"What kind of bastard dares to scold me? I'm originally from the Jiutian Tower. I came here to gather intelligence from you. How can I say I'm betraying you?

Besides, as for your tricks of fooling the ignorant people, you’d better forget about it. It’s okay if you can fool others, but don’t fool yourself.

Look at you, you're covered in wounds. Didn't you say you were invulnerable to swords and guns?"

The Imperial Master snorted coldly, stopped talking, and allowed the other party to drag him away.

Guo Gaohong followed Shen Changgong and said in a familiar manner,

"Your Majesty, why don't you also scold him to vent your anger?"

Shen Changgong chuckled and said,

"You've already said all my words. What else can I say? Just scold him for me."

"Got it."

So Guo Gaohong started to output while walking.

Warm greetings to the National Master’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

The fighting in the city continued all the time. The rebels were defeated, but they were too numerous to be killed in a short time.

Shen Changgong's purpose was very clear. He took his men and went straight to the government office.

After arriving at the government office, he had his men surround the place, break down the gate, and kill anyone they saw.

Here, they also captured the county magistrate who was wearing the official robes of the Yan State and took him alive.

Finally, they arrived outside the bedroom. The soldiers kicked open the door and screams came from inside.

Soon, a young boy and several girls were caught together.

Shen Changgong looked at their disheveled appearance, sneered, and said,

"At this time, are you still in the mood to play so extravagantly?"
