The light was dim in all directions, and dark clouds shrouded everything.
In front of Wanli Xiongguan in the distance, the Qianlong Legion took the lead in launching an attack. Under the cover of countless spirit stone cannons, they quickly arrived in front of the pass.
The thick black army of sergeants arrived in front of Hulao Pass like a tidal wave. One warship after another fired their artillery fire, completely covering Hulao Pass.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From the gate tower behind Hulao, a rapid ringing of bells sounded.
The Tang army on the wall of Hulao Pass tried to fight back, but was quickly beaten back by densely packed spirit stone cannons, and the city defense formation was quickly reactivated.
The bells on the city wall suddenly stopped ringing.
A group of civilians, men, women and children, were pushed to the city wall and knelt down facing the soldiers.
These people's hands were tied behind their backs, and everyone's body was scarred and stained with blood.
"Those people are the family members of Hulao Pass guarding." Fu Zhixue sighed.
Hulao Pass was forced, but the guards could not escape. They fought bloody battles to the end and finally died on the battlefield.
After his death, the whole family was captured by the Tang army and tortured.
The Tang army showed off their power in front of the city wall, then grabbed one of the men and stabbed him in the heart with a dagger.
The man immediately fell to the ground, struggled in pain, and finally ended his life in a pool of blood.
Just like a performance, Tang Jun continued to kill.
Almost everyone died in extreme pain.
No matter men, women, old or young.
Lu Yu said coldly: "I will avenge them."
The Qianlong Army's siege is still continuing, but the city defense formation at Hulao Pass is so strong that it has not been shaken at all.
All the sergeants were holding fire in their hearts and wanted to wipe out all the Tang troops in front of them.
"Come on, the vanguard army is approaching the city gate." Fu Zhixue said in a message.
Their goal today is to break open the city gate of Hulao Pass.
Lu Yu, Fu Zhixue and others did not move.
Because their target is too big, any tampering will inevitably attract the attention of the generals of the Tang Army in the city.
The matter of destroying the city had just been issued, and there was no chance for the Tang Army spies to spread the news.
Along the way, the attack went quite smoothly. As soon as they reached the city gate, the vanguard army had a way to temporarily weaken the formation in that area.
Leading the vanguard army were Qin Lushan and Lu Jingsheng.
Both of them were elite generals in each army. They were magnificent and extremely fast. They had already rushed to the city gate.
But, at this moment.
From the city gate, an official in red robe suddenly walked out.
This man is wearing the official uniform of the Yu Dynasty!
Behind him, there were a group of Yu officials with arrogant expressions on their faces.
"My official, Xu Youran, the Minister of Rites, has come to deliver a message based on His Majesty's decree!" the official said loudly.
Behind him, a minor official unfolded the imperial edict directly, and a vast imperial power instantly emanated from the edict.
Many of the soldiers were monks. With their Dharma eyes opened, they could immediately see clearly the contents of the imperial edict.
This is actually the imperial edict written by Zhao Yuanyan!
There is also the emperor's seal on it!
"The Xu family? It's the Xu family again!" Lu Yu's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad thought.
Xu Youran held the imperial decree and walked to the city wall.
"Your Majesty has decreed that peace is the most important thing in the world of heaven. Your Majesty has summoned envoys from the Tang Dynasty to negotiate peace terms today. All troops on the frontline must strictly guard their positions and are not allowed to take the initiative to attack!"
His voice, combined with the power of the imperial edict, was like the sound of heaven, reverberating from high in the sky.
Suddenly, all Dayu sergeants stopped attacking, and everyone stood there, at a loss.
