Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

The rising sun could not bring any warmth to Kunyang City. Instead, it made the dark and boundless Chu army formation outside the city clearer and more despairing.

The encirclement formed by hundreds of thousands of troops was like a steel ring of death, locking the isolated city tightly. The cold murderous aura almost condensed into substance, making it difficult for every Han soldier on the city to breathe.

Under the imperial flag of the central army, Chu Ning slowly raised his right hand, his cold eyes swept across the low city walls of Kunyang City, and finally fixed on the broken "Han" flag.

There was no expression on his face, only his deep eyes were burning with the fire of determination and a hint of pleasure in completing revenge.

He swung his arm down suddenly!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The mighty sound of war drums, representing the army's general offensive, suddenly rang out like the heartbeat of a sleeping giant beast!

The heavy and rhythmic drum beats struck everyone's heart, and officially announced the coming of the end of Kunyang City!

"Your Majesty has ordered! All troops attack!"

"The first one to reach the city will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Household

"Kill! Destroy Kunyang! Capture Liu Xiu alive!"

The deafening shouts and cries of killing rang out from all directions like a tsunami!

Countless phalanxes of the Chu army, like a flood bursting through a dam, carried ladders, pushed battering rams, and held shields. Like a surging black wave, they launched an overwhelming attack on the walls of Kunyang!

Arrows covered the sky like locusts, pouring down towards the top of the city, suppressing the defenders' counterattack.

The Han army on the city wall let out desperate and frantic shouts, threw down the last logs and stones, and shot the few arrows they had at the enemy, making a futile but stubborn last resistance.

Every moment, someone was shot and fell down, and the city walls were in danger in many places. The fierce soldiers of the Chu army even climbed to the top of the city several times and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the defenders.

Liu Xiu, holding a long sword, personally went to the east gate tower to supervise the battle. His face was pale, but his eyes were extremely fierce, and he kept shouting orders.

But anyone could see that facing the onslaught of such overwhelmingly superior forces, the fall of Kunyang City was only a matter of time.

The counselor Zhou Yongxin followed beside him, his face gloomy, having already seen the outcome of the city being destroyed and people dying.

Chu Ning immediately stood behind and watched this inevitable massacre with indifference.

The corners of his mouth even curled up in a cruel arc of satisfaction. Everything was going smoothly, and Liu Xiu's downfall was imminent.

However, just as the Chu army's offensive was about to completely submerge Kunyang City and victory seemed within reach—

Mutation occurs again!

In the sky, without any warning, came a sharp and piercing whistling sound, which seemed to tear everyone's eardrums!

This sound was different from the previous thunder. It was louder and more dense, as if countless huge objects were rubbing against the air at a terrifying speed, rushing in from the sky!

The fierce fighting sounds on the battlefield were instantly suppressed by this terrible voice!

Everyone, whether it was the frantic Chu army attacking or the desperate Han army defending, involuntarily slowed down their movements and looked up at the sky in confusion.

The next moment, everyone saw a scene that would make them unforgettable for the rest of their lives, and even scared them to death!

The originally clear sky was now covered by countless huge fireballs with long, blazing flames!

These fireballs vary in size, some as small as millstones and some as large as hills.

They burned and roared, like falling stars of the Last Judgment, smashing down madly towards the earth with an attitude of destroying everything - more precisely, towards the area outside the city where the Chu army was attacking frantically!

"Then...what is that?!"

"Heavenly Fire! It's the Heavenly Fire again!!"

"Run!"

The terrified screams that suddenly erupted in the Chu army camp even drowned out the previous shouts and cries of killing!

The rain of fire from the sky during the day is clearer and more terrifying than at night!

"boom!!!!!"

The first huge meteorite fell heavily in the middle of a charging infantry phalanx of the Chu army!

In an instant, the earth shook!

The terrifying shock wave spread out in a circular shape, and the soldiers in the phalanx were easily torn into pieces and blown away like pieces of paper!

A huge charred crater appeared in its place, with burning debris and soil flying everywhere!

This is just the beginning!

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!!”

More meteorites are coming!

They seemed to have eyes, and they landed precisely near the Chu army's siege team, subsequent echelons, and even the command formation further back!

Huge explosions sounded one after another, continuously!

The entire area outside Kunyang City seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​fire in purgatory in an instant!

The scorching air waves scorched everything, the shock waves easily destroyed lives, and the burning debris swept in all directions like cannonballs!

The dense formation of the Chu army became its biggest weakness under this catastrophic attack. Every falling meteorite meant the instant evaporation and tragic casualties of hundreds of people!

"Hold on! Don't mess up!"

The generals around Chu Ning roared at the top of their lungs, but their voices seemed so small and ridiculous in the face of the power of heaven and earth.

Chaos! Unprecedented chaos completely swept through the Chu army!

The offensive momentum was abruptly interrupted!

The ladders were blown up, the battering rams were set on fire, the soldiers cried for their parents, threw away their armor and weapons, and fled like headless flies, just to get away from the deadly fireballs that kept falling!

The organization completely collapsed, officers were unable to control the soldiers, and fear spread throughout the army at an alarming speed like a plague!

Even the central army was affected. A smaller meteorite fell on the guards not far away, causing heavy casualties. The gust of wind even overturned several flags around Chu Ning!

"Your Majesty! Danger! Retreat quickly!" The guards tried to escort Chu Ning back in panic.

Chu Ning's face turned pale for the first time. He gripped the reins tightly to control the frightened warhorse.

Looking at the doomsday-like scene before him, and seeing his army crumble under the "fire from the sky", his eyes were filled with shock, anger, and a hint of...unbelievable horror!

Could it be... could it be that Liu Xiu is truly blessed by heaven?!

In sharp contrast to the hellish scene outside the city is the Kunyang city wall and the city itself.

Although violent vibrations could be felt and deafening explosions could be heard, and sporadic splashing debris caused some damage, the vast majority of the deadly meteorites miraculously and accurately avoided the city and all fell on the Chu army that was attacking the city!

The Han soldiers on the city wall had originally prepared to die, but now they were stunned to see the Chu army outside the city wailing and turning into ashes under the "divine punishment".

A kind of ecstasy of surviving the disaster and indescribable shock once again gripped them.

"God bless your majesty!"

"Divine punishment! It's God's punishment on the Chu thief!"

Thunderous cheers and shouts erupted in the Han army, and morale mysteriously reached its peak!
