With Wei Xiao retreating and the main general no longer around, how could the remaining people have the will to fight?

At this moment, they only felt like rootless duckweed on the ocean, drifting with the waves, and could be thrown into the seabed by a huge wave at any time.

Not far away, the roar of the rebels was like thunder, deafening, and had surrounded the city of Luo. The ladder that had been pushed down before was once again placed on the city wall.

But this time, they had run out of ammunition and food, and could no longer launch a hail of arrows to suppress the rebels' offensive as before.

At this moment, they were standing on the city wall, watching the rebels roaring one after another and rushing up the ladders madly.

Their hearts were filled with helplessness and despair. The cruelty of the battle and the life-and-death decision made them feel breathless.

The rebels' offensive became increasingly fierce, and the defenders on the city wall could no longer hold on.

The sound of swords clashing was like the music of death, blood splattered everywhere, and the scene was so tragic that every soldier's heart sank to the bottom at this moment.

this moment,
There is nothing they can do.

they understand,

It's over,

It's all over.

The entire defense line of Los Angeles has collapsed like a dam, leaving them with two choices: one is to lay down their weapons and surrender; the other is to take advantage of the current chaos and escape from the city.

But now the people below the city want to come up, and the people below the city want to go down. The huge city wall has already been completely blocked. How can they escape under the eyes of the rebels?
"Quick, get back!"

Faced with such a situation, some people were unwilling to accept it and shouted loudly, hoping to arouse fear in the hearts of the people, create chaos, and thus fish in troubled waters.

However, his voice seemed insignificant amid the roar of the rebels, and could not stir up any ripples in the hearts of these people who had already given up hope.

Seeing the rebel army coming like a tide, many people couldn't help but feel sad. They completely gave up the idea of ​​resistance, put down their weapons, raised their hands in surrender, and no longer struggled.

They knew that Los Angeles had become a discarded pawn. Continuing to resist would only mean a meaningless death. The fierceness of the battle and the atmosphere of despair were like a thick haze that enveloped every soldier, making them feel suffocated.

"Who would be willing to leave his homeland and die on the battlefield?" A young soldier muttered to himself, his eyes full of helplessness and melancholy.

He originally just wanted to live a peaceful life, but now he was involved in this endless battle, and his life or death was uncertain. Thinking back to the idyllic scenery of his hometown, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if everything was out of reach.

"I heard that the rebels treat prisoners and those who surrender voluntarily well, and there is no need to worry about their lives." Another soldier whispered with a slight tremor in his voice.

More people began to waver, thinking to themselves, if they could really save their lives, why would they fight to the death? If Wei Xiao hadn't been forcing them before, why would they be willing to join this battle?
As the rebels' offensive became more and more fierce, the defenders on the city wall could no longer hold on. The rebel soldiers rushed into the city wall like wild beasts. The sound of swords clashing rang in their ears, blood splattered, and the scene became more and more tragic.

"Put down your weapons, brothers! We have no hope!" A soldier shouted desperately, his voice full of helplessness and despair. Soon, more soldiers responded, put down their weapons, raised their hands, and surrendered to the rebels.

With this, the gateway to Hanzhou - Luocheng was lost...

Soon, the news of the attack on the city wall spread back to the big tent, and the whole camp was suddenly in an uproar.

"Your Highness, news has come from the front that Luo City has been captured, and the general Wei Xiao who was guarding the city has disappeared. Perhaps he has led his men to evacuate in advance. I will send people to chase him now?" Yuan Jingxin said respectfully, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

However, facing such news, Lin Zhongyun acted very calmly. He put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and looked through the curtain of the tent, as if he was staring at the distant sky. There was no surprise in his expression, but instead a sense of calmness and confidence.

In his opinion, it would be a natural thing for the rebel army to capture Luo City.

These days, the rebels are equipped with new armor, and the rigorous training has made every soldier as sharp as a blade, ready to meet challenges at any time.

Moreover, he had a trump card - Wu Dang Flying Army. This secret weapon had not yet been used, like a beast waiting to strike, waiting for the right moment to strike.

If the previous equipment only greatly improved the individual combat power of the rebels, then relying on the existence of the Yangzhou arsenal and the storage of countless siege weapons greatly improved the overall strength of the rebels.

With these equipments, the rebel army's ability to capture cities and strongholds was greatly improved, and they no longer had to rely on blitzkrieg to achieve surprise attacks as before.

He believed that if he led the rebel army to attack Jialing City at this time, he would not need to use any other strategies, and a frontal attack alone would be enough to capture Jialing City.

All of this made him feel more confident, which was why he dared to launch the plan to rule the world in five days.

"Today's rebel army is no longer comparable to the previous mountain bandits, so we don't need to belittle ourselves!
Lin Zhongyun's eyes were deep and he spoke in a calm tone. At this moment, his heart was filled with lofty ambitions and great ambitions - conquering the world was just around the corner.

He knew that the current situation was the right time for him to show his ambitions.

Although the conspiracy between Beiman and Daqian has not been exposed yet, pressure is motivation. If it were not for such a threat, I am afraid that the rebel army would not be able to burst out such a coordinated combat capability.

"As the saying goes, don't chase a desperate enemy. It's no big deal if a general runs away." Lin Zhongyun's eyes were firm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was thinking about a more far-reaching strategy.

He continued to instruct Yuan Jingxin, "It would be exactly what I want if he ran back and brought back the news that Luocheng had fallen."

"Leave the cleaning of the battlefield to the rest of you. Continue to order the army to continue the attack. We must change the entire Hanzhou tonight!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Yuan Jingxin was sincerely convinced. This battle made him see the results of the rebel army's training in recent days, and also made him see the future of the whole world.

Soon, after a short rest, the rebels on the city wall quickly set out towards the next city.

Along with them were the siege equipment such as the city-breaking siege and the ladder, which had shown great power in this war. These equipment seemed particularly heavy in the dark night, but with the cooperation of the rebel soldiers, they still moved like flowing water.

In other states, perhaps because of the vast geographical area and the long distances between cities, important baggage transportation such as breaking into cities and pursuing them becomes very difficult and the speed is very slow.

In many cases, the baggage was often discovered by the enemy while it was still on the road, so the enemy took corresponding countermeasures.

However, there is no need to worry about this problem in Hanzhou. Hanzhou is the location of Daqian's capital and is directly governed by the central court, so it is destined that its area will not be very large.

In the history of Daqian, there was once a time when the gates were wide open and the northern barbarians penetrated deep into Hanzhou and attacked Huanglong. The national destiny of Daqian was completely destroyed because of that incident.

Therefore, since then, successive emperors of Daqian have built cities within Hanzhou to prepare for any eventuality. Each city is like a star-studded network that guards the Han capital.

The entire Hanzhou is like a huge chessboard. No matter which city is in danger, the other cities can immediately provide support, forming a mutual defense system that makes the opponent hesitant.

But it was precisely because of this arrangement that they had the opportunity to take advantage of it without having to worry about the baggage problem at all.

that's it,
In the silent night,
City after city was ablaze with war.
Events like what happened in Luocheng happened again and again in major cities in Hanzhou. The offensive of the rebel army was like a torrential rain, sweeping in and leaving Daqian helpless and without any way out.

In fact, after many cities learned of the fall of Los Angeles, the first bombing by the rebels was enough to defeat them.

The roar of the battering ram was like thunder, shaking the hearts of every defender. The soldiers on the wall looked at each other with fear and despair in their eyes, unable to concentrate on resistance.

"Quick, retreat!" As the rebels attacked, the generals defending the city issued retreat orders one after another, but their steps to escape had already lost their composure. With the help of siege equipment such as battering rams, the rebels took the city without much resistance.

The first one, the second one, the third one...

With Lin Zhongyun's deliberate instigation, the news that the rebels had captured several cities in a row would often spread throughout Hanzhou before their main force arrived, making people terrified.

Everyone was frightened by the rebel army's victory. They no longer dared to resist. They laid down their weapons and surrendered wherever they went.

Even at the end, when he and his men arrived, the rebel army defending the city had already dispersed early, and except for the civilians in the city, it was like an empty city.

This is the trend of the times, and no one can resist it.

At dawn, when the first ray of morning light shone on the land of Hanzhou, nearly half of the city had been engulfed in war.

The morning light shone through the smoke, revealing a devastated scene. The once prosperous city was now in ruins. Between the ruins, the rebel flags could be vaguely seen fluttering in the breeze.

Lin Zhongyun was observing the battle situation in the tent. The map of Hanzhou kept appearing in his mind, and he was secretly thinking about his next plan.

This is the real beacon fire.

It only took them half a day, and before anyone could react, they had already taken over most of Hanzhou's territory.

He had already drawn up a grand blueprint in his mind. Conquering these cities was not only to expand power, but also to hit the enemy's morale and weaken their confidence. The fall of each city was a heavy blow to Daqian's rule.

"Even if the Northern Barbarians and Daqian react, it will be too late." He thought to himself, his lips slightly raised, his eyes flashing with determination. Could it be that they have the ability to take back these cities in just half a day like the rebels did?
This is obviously impossible.

This means that they have already established a firm foothold in Hanzhou, and the initiative is back in his hands. The one who should be anxious now should be Liu Wulie.

"Very good, well done." He walked out of the big tent and saw the excited and excited rebels, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Once upon a time, the land under the feet of the emperor of Hanzhou was a land that everyone yearned for.

And now, they are standing on the land of Hanzhou, how can they not be excited.

"Tell everyone that it's time to have a good rest. You've worked hard tonight."

He turned to Yuan Jingxin and continued, "Of course, we must also pay close attention to the movements of the Northern Barbarians and Daqian, and guard against their desperate sneak attacks."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Yuan Jingxin nodded and responded sincerely. He was also very excited. Until now, he still couldn't believe that they finally did it.

Conquering seven cities overnight was such a brilliant achievement. They made history.

"I'm afraid no one will ever be able to achieve such a record in the future." Yuan Jingxin's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his heart was full of longing and expectation for the future. He imagined that if there was another opportunity like this, the rebel army would be at its peak and sweep away thousands of enemies.

"If we continue to spread the news that Daqian is secretly plotting, Daqian will definitely reveal his true colors when he gets angry and frustrated." Lin Zhongyun looked into the distance, gazing at Handu with burning eyes and ambitious thoughts in his heart.

nowadays,
They are only one step away from their goal.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll arrange it right away!" Yuan Jingxin responded excitedly, feeling extremely proud, as if he had become a part of this great history.

In fact, he had already started to act. Along with the news that the rebel army had captured seven cities in a row, the news that Daqian was secretly plotting also spread throughout the world.

As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire; crowds make a tiger. At this time, even if the Northern Barbarians are unwilling to believe it, they will feel alienated and be wary of Daqian.

This little bit of suspicion was enough to buy them enough time to digest it all.

More importantly, the gap between them will also hinder their previous plans, so that they can find out their real plan.

……

Just as Lin Zhongyun said before, for some people it is dawn, while for others it is dark.

At this time, hysterical roars were heard from the Qianqing Palace in Handu. Liu Wulie sat on the dragon throne, his eyes bloodshot and his face ferocious, like an enraged beast.

His palms were clenched into fists, veins bulged, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood oozed out without him noticing.

Damn it!" His voice was like thunder, shaking the entire palace, and even the birds outside the window were startled and flew away because of his anger.

He couldn't believe that the rebels had captured seven cities overnight. It was a blatant challenge to his authority! He was filled with boundless anger, as if the whole sky was collapsing above his head.

It was embarrassing enough that he was barely surviving in Hanzhou, but he didn't expect that the rebel army would capture seven cities in just one night, and most of Hanzhou had fallen.

But he knew that this was no longer the time for him to be angry or not, but a moment of crisis and survival... (End of this chapter)
