At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

In the blink of an eye, another three hours passed.

Under the leadership of Li Taisui and Xiang Wentian, thousands of excavation soldiers continued to carry out the filling operation.

Finally, a small hill appeared on the open ground outside Ulan City!

At the front end of the hill is the inexpensive city wall of Ulan.

At the far end of the hillside was the frontier position where Chong Heihu led his troops to guard.

During the filling process, the Shaqiu defenders on the city wall had already discovered the intention of Xia Yun's army.

However, under the intensive firepower offensive launched by Chong Heihu and his troops, the Dune Troops were powerless even if they wanted to drive out the earth-filling troops under the city wall.

As the heavy rain from the sky became more and more violent, the number of flintlock rifles that the Dune Troops could use became increasingly limited.

The gunshots coming from the city wall were reduced to a few scattered noises.

"Pass on my order! All troops, attack immediately! The troops that enter the city first will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver each!"

Seeing that the opportunity had arrived at the front line, Xia Yun made a prompt decision and issued the order for a general attack!

"Pass on the commander's order. The general attack begins. The troops that break through the city wall first will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver each!"

"Brothers, rush!"

"..."

In a very short period of time, Xia Yun's order to launch a general attack spread quickly to every corner of the army like a hurricane.

The generals under Xia Yun's command, who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, quickly left Xia Yun and returned to their respective troops after receiving the order.

In the next few minutes, nearly 15,000 automated troops rushed towards the Ulan City Wall like a tide!

When a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, for a moment, the white light illuminated the entire world.

At the same time, it was reflected that under the city of Ulan, 15,000 automated troops appeared on the hillside formed by the earth-filling operation method!

For a moment, the Dune defenders on the city wall were frightened.

In their eyes, those Liang Dynasty troops who launched a fierce offensive in the storm were like ghosts from hell, and each of them was fearless of death!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

This time, with the help of the hillside formed by the filling operation, the army's offensive was extremely smooth.

In less than a quarter of an hour, troops led by various generals climbed onto the city wall under the cover of intensive firepower!

A bloody massacre broke out!

The Dune Troops, having lost the firepower of their flintlock muskets and the advantage of terrain, had no ability to fight back at all in front of Xia Yun's most elite troops!

Every time a bullet was fired from the black muzzle of the automatic rifle, a soldier from the Dune Force fell in a pool of blood!

In this way, the massacre lasted from late night to dawn!

As the morning sun gradually emerged from the east, the gunfire in Ulan City gradually subsided.

It seemed that the weather was favorable. When the battle ended, the heavy rain in the sky also disappeared.

"Marshal, it's daybreak. Please change your wet armor quickly."

Outside Wulan City, Qin Tianye brought Xia Yun a brand new set of armor.

Over the past night, all the generals led their troops into the city.

Xia Yun stood quietly there, waiting for news of the army's victory.

"How's the situation in the city?"

Looking at Qin Tianye who had just arrived beside him, Xia Yun was still first concerned about the situation of the army in the city.

Prior to this, Qin Tianye also led a troop into the city and unified the command of various troops to fight.

"Don't worry, Marshal. Except for the very few survivors, the defenders in the city have been almost completely wiped out by our army. Chong Heihu and Xiang Wentian have already taken control of the four gates of Wulan City."

Qin Tianye responded immediately.

After hearing this, Xia Yun took the brand new armor from Qin Tianye.

"Order the army to rest in the city immediately. I will enter the city immediately!"

Xia Yun nodded, then turned and entered the central military tent.

After a few minutes, when Xia Yun came out of the central tent again, he had changed into dry armor.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yun, Qin Tianye and the Qing soldiers and guards officially entered Wulan City from under the open city gate!

……

"In this siege, our army lost a total of 1,087 soldiers, 1,765 were slightly injured, 203 were seriously injured, and more than 10,000 flintlock rifles and bows and arrows were seized..."

In the city of Ulan, in the temporary central military tent, Qin Tianye was continuously reporting the results of the battle to Xia Yun.

There is no doubt that this siege took up a lot of time for Xia Yun's army.

In particular, the army built a slope outside the south gate of Ulan City by filling the earth, which took up almost half of the entire battle.

Good results are satisfying.

As the Dune troops were equipped with flintlock rifles and had a clear advantage in terrain, Xia Yun's army wiped out the enemy's 20,000 defenders at the cost of only more than a thousand casualties.

This result was in no way inferior to the achievements Xia Yun had made before in the anti-Japanese battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River and in the Hexi Corridor.

"Send a troop to immediately dismantle the slope outside the city. This task must be completed before the enemy arrives."

After Qin Tianye finished his report, Xia Yun immediately issued the first order.

Now that Ulan City has been captured, there is naturally no need to keep the slope outside the city gate.

"Yes, handsome!"

Qin Tianye immediately responded and accepted the order.

"Order the entire army to immediately begin resting on the spot. Each unit should take turns guarding the city. There must be no mistakes."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yun issued the second order.

The war had just ended, and the troops, having fought for two days and two nights, were exhausted both physically and mentally.

In order to deal with any possible unexpected situations, the army must adjust from its exhausted state in time!

"Yes, handsome!"

Qin Tianye responded again.

……

At the same time, in the city of Ktor, thousands of kilometers away, the figures that appeared on the city walls were no longer the soldiers guarding the Dune Kingdom.

Instead, it was the elite cavalry of the Tuoba tribe led by Tuoba Jinghui!

Also before dawn, Tuoba Jinghui led all his elite troops and took advantage of the heavy rain to successfully capture the entire city of Keto.

As for the more than 10,000 defenders in the city, they were all wiped out by the Tuoba tribe.

"Chief, we have sent people to search the city carefully. All the troops of the Dune Dynasty in the city have been wiped out by our Tuoba tribe. There are currently more than 30,000 people of the Dune Dynasty in the city. In addition, the grain stored in the city's warehouses is as much as 5 million dan..."

When Tuoba Jinghui was looking towards the direction of Ulan City, a general of the Tuoba tribe came behind Tuoba Jinghui and reported the results of the battle.
