Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 557 Surrounding and ambush
War is cruel, and bullets have no eyes.

Most of the people living in Tangcheng were ordinary people of the Zhuang ethnic group. Although they also knew that the Imperial Central Army was hunting down their own people, not a single ordinary person came out to die.

In this desperate situation, anyone who dares to block the Central Army's path will definitely be seeking death.

Destroying the enemy's vitality was the mission Lu Hao gave them.

However, countless Zhuang warriors were killed, resulting in a sharp decline in Zhuang men, and ultimately the decline of this race.

If the Zhuang clan leader had not insisted on his own way, the current situation would not have been caused, and Lu Hao would not have been able to deal with the Zhuang clan ruthlessly.

Pistols, rifles, and the lethality of grenades turned the entire Tangcheng into a city of death.

The battle lasted for two hours. Many Zhuang warriors saw that they could not resist, so they wisely chose to escape, or kneel down and surrender on the spot.

It's a pity that their escape speed cannot match the speed of horses and the bullets of rifles.

The other three gates of Tangcheng were wide open, and many Zhuang soldiers were trying to escape, causing a severe stampede. The imperial soldiers who were chasing after them followed the three roads to cover their way.

bang bang bang...

A series of gunshots rang out, and many Zhuang soldiers were shot dead along the way, showing no resistance at all.

The three roads, with corpses all along them, turned into three bloody roads, turning into three roads leading to the hell of death.

Blood dyed three roads red, dyed the entire land red, and dyed half the sky red.

……

The bloody setting sun.

The last rays of the sun are gradually dissipating, as if life has reached its final destination.

The Zhuang clan leader and Nan Gongting stood on the city wall of Wancheng, looking at the first main force of the Central Army of the Chinese Empire that was speeding towards them in the distance.

Dust was flying and murderous intent was rising into the sky, like a black cloud pressing towards Wancheng.

What a horrible murderousness!
The leader of the Zhuang tribe knew that he had really offended the Chinese Empire, and Xuanyuan Lingyu had given up her plan to resolve the Yunmeng Mountain area through peace talks.

This time, the Zhuang patriarch felt death approaching him, but he was still determined to fight the Chinese Empire to the end.

With the support of the Sui Empire, such a strong city wall, and a large number of people who support him, he has nothing to fear now.

Even if he can't defeat the Chinese Empire's army, he can take his army and hide in the mountains, spend a long time with the Empire, and let the Chinese Empire take the initiative to compromise.

It's a pity that he underestimated Lu Hao and the empire's determination.

"Lingyu, there are about 1 enemies hiding on that mountain. They probably want to give you a surprise!"

Lu Hao, who was riding on horseback, pointed at the mountains outside the city and laughed loudly.

"Since they are ambushing above, let's kill their ambush first!"

Xuanyuan Lingyu responded loudly.

"All soldiers, follow my general's orders, divide your troops into four groups, and attack directly on the opposite mountain."

Xuanyuan Lingyu immediately issued a combat order.

The first legion, which had reached the open area, immediately divided into four groups and attacked the opposite mountain from four directions.

Although the enemy inside could not be seen, since the general gave the order, all the soldiers went straight to kill them.

The ambush troops who originally thought they were well hidden, saw that they were surrounded by enemies from all directions, and knew that they were exposed.

Rather than being beaten passively, it is better to kill directly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The ambush soldiers lurking in the woods immediately rushed out and swept down the mountain.

bang bang bang...

Gunfire rang out, and the Imperial Central Army rushed forward, a barrage of gunfire.

The Zhuang warriors fell to the ground in pieces one after another, their lives being harvested like wheat.

The leader of the Zhuang tribe stood on the city tower and was completely stunned when he saw the warriors of the First Legion surrounding him and ambushing him.He couldn't figure out why the ambush he had ambushed was discovered by the enemy.
Nan Gongting was also confused and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Clan leader, he...how did they know there was an ambush hidden in the woods? Did the Chinese Empire send spies hiding in the city?"

Nan Gongting made a bold guess.

"It's very possible! It really pisses me off!"

The Zhuang clan leader nodded heavily.

"Chief, the Central Army has surrounded the ambush from four directions. What should we do now?"

Nan Gongting asked with a grimace.

"My lord, I want to go out and attack the enemy from behind. What do you think?"

the Zhuang clan leader asked.

"We can't leave the city now. We can only look to them. If we leave the city, we will lose the solid city wall and it will be very difficult to defend the city."

Nan Gongting firmly objected.

"But, those are all my clan members, my clan's warriors. Do you just want to watch them die?"

The leader of the Zhuang tribe was deeply distressed.

On the other side, Xuanyuan Lingyu's four armies had surrounded the entire mountain and launched a fierce attack.

The swords and spears carried by the Zhuang warriors are colorful, and they even have ghost-like symbols painted on their faces.

They were also brave men, launching an offensive forcefully and killing them from the mountains like a tidal wave.

However, their fierce offensive was no match for rifles, pistols and grenades.

Seeing the enemy coming, the imperial soldiers directly threw a round of grenades at them.

bang bang bang...

With continuous explosions, the Zhuang warriors who rushed down from the mountain were knocked upside down and suffered heavy casualties.

The remaining people started filming, and were eventually shot at indiscriminately by rifles and pistols. Finally, they fell unwillingly into the muzzle of the gun and became unjust victims.

The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Central Army is really terrifying!

After bloody battles, these soldiers have become sharpshooters, basically shooting one at a time.

Only in actual combat can soldiers be truly tempered, their combat effectiveness truly improved, and their strength truly tempered into an iron army.

The successive explosions completely stunned the Zhuang warriors and completely destroyed their arrogance.

The Zhuang warriors, who had never seen the power of grenades and rifles, were now so frightened that they had no choice but to flee.

After the explosion, the gunfire gradually became sparse, and eventually the woods became quiet.

Lu Hao was riding on his horse, looking at the Zhuang clan leader and Nan Gongting in the tower in the distance, and listening to their conversation, the corner of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc.

"Patriarch, I am Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire. Now I give you a quarter of an hour to surrender!"

"In addition, Nan Gongting beside you, tell him to get out of here and get out of the Chinese Empire, otherwise, I will keep him in Wancheng forever."

Lu Hao's voice was loud and cold, filled with a destructive domineering force.

"My lord, who is speaking? What did you say?"

the Zhuang clan leader asked.

"Patriarch, the person speaking is Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire!"

Nan Gongting's face was as dark as ink.

"What? Emperor Yongtai!"

The Zhuang clan leader was completely shocked.
