The rebel are quickly without obstruction to the foot of the palace walls

The city guarding crossbows'to use to attack the city, especially the sharp and heavy carriage they were going to use to break down the thick palace gatesAbove these carriages were fireproof tarps iant piece of sharpened woodIt was heavyOnce it reached a high speed, it would crash heavily against the palace gates

An arrow accurately struck one of the battering raly solid leather and ruthlessly pierced the battering ra raiant arrow, the city guarding crossbow contained a powerful charging forceIt caused the carriage to juround that had fallen to the ground shakingIt flipped over and crushed a nue to death

The three waves of rebel soldiers charged forith a dozen heavy battering rams filled with uarding crossbows fired with all their ht and successfully destroyed three of the ra crossbows reloaded too slowlyThe rebel ar raet area and coave a unifor ra creaks, the battering raates of the Royal Palace were thickUnder such a powerful strike, they still shook violentlyThe door posts creaked like they were about to fall apartThe four giant bolts up and down the gates warped in shape froainst this powerful strikeThe creaks near the door fraiant dent in the Royal Palace's front gates and a dozen fallen copper nails, everything was fine

At least in this attack, the gates of the Royal Palace still appeared to be ie expressionA fro ra speedThe second wave of battering rah the scattered arrows from the iiant city guarding crossbohich ainst the palace gates

There was another giant crashThis tiedThe entire gate began to shakeIt gave one the sense that it was on the verge of collapse

The elite i their horses and awaiting their orders watched this sight coldlyAlthough their expressions were calh their eyes and revealed the true eate, the rebel soldiers risking their lives for a powerful attack saw a gliatesImmediately, their ed forward again

The third wave of troops arrivedThe rebel army lost hundreds of lives under the Iiant rocks, and rolling logs from the palace wallsFinally, they successfully attacked the palace gate for the third time

With a crack, dust flew into the airIt was like a shty child

The dust settled slightly, letting the field of vision clearIn the square, countless rebel soldiers looked at the giant hole punched through the ave a cheer of joy

The elite soldiers closest to the palace gates did not cheerThe excitement on their faces was ierThey could clearly see that although a ates and exposed the thick wood shards inside, the entire palace gate showed no sign of falling over

The ground was covered in golden copper nailsBehind the hole, all they could see was a thick layer of rock and ap to be seen

The people in the Royal Palace had blockaded themselvesDid they not think to leave themselves a way to escape? At this tiiant toave a wild cry and led the soldiers behind hih there wasn't ate even if they had to dig through itMilitary orders were as ido black spear poked out frohtningIt struck the officer in the throat and sent up a bloody spray

…

…

At the foot of the palace, 10 steps behind the long palace gate filled with rocks froarden, 300 imperial soldiers coldly and tensely watched for any ateTheir head officer had already taken a sateAt this tieous position, so there was no reason to allow the rebel soldiers to push through so easily

On top of the palace walls, the Great Prince coldly watched as wave after wave of rebel soldiers, each stronger than the last, ca it down viciouslyHis trusted aide beside his in his handsAlong the front of the palace walls, the hundreds of imperial soldiers on the Palace walls s at their feet and carefully ripped them openThey then poured theer within range of the arrows

Slightly yelloder scattered doard like a snowfall of not very clean snowIn an instant, the thousands of rebel soldiers closest to the Royal Palace were enveloped in it

The general of the rebel ar that it was the Overwatch Council's poison, he ordered his subordinates to be careful

…

…

It was not poisonThe Third Bureau was not Fan Xian's personal workshop and did not have the capability to produce so unpowder that had been taken by the imperial soldiers, on Fan Xian's earlier orders, fro

The Royal Palace had neverthe attack of a powerful militaryAt this tis to burnIf the Fan Xian was not standing on their side, the battle today would probably progress with unusual gloolanced at Fan Xian, who had been calently nodded his head

”Release!”

The trusted aide beside the Great Prince had a vicious expression on his faceHe shouted out the order in a loud voice to all the soldiers on the walls

A sudden explosion of the densest rain of arrows since the beginning of the battle came down from the walls where previously only a loose forht that was like the inauspicious color Qin Heng's bravest general had seen before he died

The fire arrows fell to the foot of the palaceThere was no need for precisionThey only had to land a the powder

The sky was beautifulThe autu wind had already faded awayThe powder poured doas not scattered by the windFan Xian was not worried they would be blown back onto the palace wallsIt fore cloud and enveloped the thousands of rebel soldiers belowLooking at the beautifulscenery of s beside the river, one could faintly see shadoithinand began to burn at a terrifying speedCountless flaether to foron stretched out across the foot of the Royal PalaceIt was also like a golden sun shi+ning down on a calan to rollIt was bright and burned hotIt even covered up the light fro, They cried out tragically and burned, turning into countless pitiful flaWas a blaze this size so people ran wildly in the squareTheir tragic cries rose to the heavensThe scene appeared to be unco rebel soldier ed to run back to their own campMost of them turned into charred bodies at the foot of the Palace while the rest only had tiround, twitching continuously as left of the fire and rising white smoke

The rebel soldiers in the distant streets were in a panicEven the Qing troops famous for their strict discipline still felt fearNo one had thought that the i tactics

The Crown Prince's face was ashenThe old Qin Master looked coldly at the top of the palace walls and slowly said, ”Only Fan Xian would use such cruel tactics”

The s disturbed everyone's state of liht below, some soldiers' lips turned white as they wondered to themselves if those charred bodies had been killed by them

After this destructive attack, the first wave of rebel soldiers entering the Royal Palace returned gloomily to campThere were not ainst all oddsThe rebel army did not carry out a second round of attacks

It was clear that both those guarding the Palace and those attacking it had been shocked by this bloody and terrifying fog of fireThey all needed a est this and steady their military heartsFan Xian, the one responsible for this evil act, had an unusually calm expressionHe looked at the distant rebel cale word

The Great Prince saw Fan Xian's right hand tre by his side in his sleeve and that his eyes were beco more and ht that the Overwatch Council's fire powder could be used in such a horrifying wayLong used to the bloody battlefields in the West, he didn't feel anything he shouldn't as he looked at the sight in front of himBut, he still felt shockedIf this powder could be used like this, what kind of changes would there be in future battles?

”We were lucky today,” Fan Xian didn't turn his head to look at him and said in a quiet voice”There is no wind or rain, which is why it worked so well”
