In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

No sooner had Chen Shan finished speaking than a general beside him offered a different opinion.

"Captain Chen, your method is good, but using fire is really a heinous crime. Besides, if the city is destroyed, it will be difficult for us to continue defending it after we take it over."

Hearing the comments from others, Chen Shan simply shrugged indifferently.

"What else can we do? A direct assault would only result in heavy losses, and we might not even be able to take the city."

"Besides fire, I do have other methods, but I don't need to worry about reputation or anything like that. Fire is better in comparison."

"Besides, fire attacks aren't a panacea; they're just a smokescreen. Once the city gates are open, there's no such thing as an easy defense that's hard to attack, is there?"

Chen Shan's words were very brief and direct.

Nan Tu Rou also understood Chen Shan's meaning.

"You mean the fire attack was a feint, to cover your Deficit Battalion's entry and then open the city gates from the inside?"

"This method is good, but it is also extremely dangerous."

Nan Tu Rou understood Chen Shan's thoughts, but the fact that he had to do it in such a dangerous way every time was truly frightening.

"It's alright, I will personally lead a portion of the Deficit Battalion in."

"General, you can rest assured that no matter the cost, we will definitely open the city gates."

"The rest will depend on you then."

"My elite troops will also attack the city immediately. General, you only need to command the others."

Seeing Chen Shan speak with such confidence, Nan Tu Rou was momentarily at a loss for words.

Indeed, apart from the method Chen Shan mentioned, no one else, not even her, could come up with any good solutions.

"Let's arrange it that way then."

Nan Tu Rou had no choice.

After discussion, it was finally decided to proceed according to Chen Shan's method.

With the plan in place, the Third Army Corps began its operations.

Nan Tu Rou's ability to lead troops is not weak. Even when using fire as a feint, she still managed to arrange things in an orderly manner.

Chen Shan brought along his brothers from the Red Label Camp.

It was still a few hundred special forces soldiers. Although their direct combat effectiveness was not as good as the elite troops, they were specially trained and had experience.

It is easier to take action.

Northern Yanshan Mountains.

Before the city, the other two legions were already on high alert, but these guys clearly had no intention of starting a war.

They marched and deployed their troops in front of the East Gate, as if they were about to have a martial arts contest with the enemy.

In contrast, at the west gate, Nan Tu Rou had brought plenty of oil and, as Chen Shan had arranged, launched a fire attack!

In an instant, flames shot into the sky from the west gate of the city.

The Qing army was firing and fighting the fire simultaneously, a chaotic and disorganized affair.

Meanwhile, Chen Shan, with his men, wound their way through the city, once again entering from the side through a treacherous area.

Although it is said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, this so-called easy to defend and difficult to attack actually only applies to large armies.

The army was too large, and the siege equipment was too huge, making it impossible to deploy them effectively.

The reason is that the venue is not large enough for the army to operate.

That's why it's said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But for small units, it's a different story.

Chen Shan led his men to quickly infiltrate, and while the other side was still busy putting out the fire, they used the same old trick again.

As the saying goes, old tricks never fail to work. They once again used fire to set fire to the enemy's grain depot, making the situation even more chaotic.

"Let's go straight to the West Gate."

Without hesitation, Chen Shan led his men, drew their long swords, and, taking advantage of the chaos, rushed to the west gate.

Even though the Qing army heavily guarded this place, there were heavy troops stationed outside both city gates at the moment. At the same time, the western city was attacked by fire, and the grain storage in the rear was also burned.

With one thing on top of another, how could one possibly keep track of the actions of hundreds of people?

Everything fell into place, and Chen Shan led his men to begin the massacre at the west gate!

The whole process went smoothly, since all that was needed was to deal with the soldiers guarding the city gate before opening it!

Two hours later, the flames on the west gate gradually faded, but then the city gate was opened!

The moment the city gates opened, the Qing army reacted and began to dispatch a large number of troops to resist!

However, it was too late at that moment.

As soon as the city gates opened, Nan Tu Rou received the signal that the Third Army Corps' assault had begun!

The Trapped Camp took the lead and charged forward at an extremely fast speed. Even with the main army blocking their way, the terror of the Trapped Camp was still unstoppable!

Battlefield combat is inherently bloody and cruel; it is essentially a war of life for life, especially in the context of sieges.

At this moment, the Trapped Camp maintained its formation amidst the chaos, employing efficient and swift offensive tactics, and in just a short while, it suppressed the enemy army!

With the Third Army Corps launching its attack, the First and Second Army Corps, knowing how to take advantage of any openings, also began a fierce assault on the East Gate.

Unfortunately, they weren't as well-prepared as the Third Army Corps, and their attack was like that of reckless youths, which immediately increased the difficulty.

In this battle, flames raged outside the Northern Yan Mountains, the bloodshed was overwhelming, and countless severed limbs and corpses were carelessly thrown down like trash.

This battle lasted for three hours. Although Chen Shan took the initiative first, it still took a lot of time to completely take down Bei Yanshan!

evening.

Chen Shan stood atop the West Gate, looking at the lingering smoke and fire all around him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"War is really troublesome."

Although the battle went smoothly, the losses were considerable.

Although the Trapped Camp only suffered some injuries and no casualties, the Deficit Camp and even the Third Army suffered considerable losses.

Of course, this battle also fully demonstrated the terror of the Trapped Camp.

Even when facing an enemy several times their size, the Trapped Camp remained brave and fearless. Their indomitable spirit alone was enough to instill fear in the enemy!

"Chen Shan, you've done a great job again this time."

"Although the Third Army suffered considerable losses, we captured the city without even breaching the gates of those two armies."

"Now they have nothing to say."

Xiao Zhen stepped forward. Although he was only leading the Red Battalion in the charge, he never expected that what should have been a difficult battle would be won so easily!

As for the losses?

War is never peaceful.

It's perfectly normal to suffer losses.

"It's alright, but Brother Xiao, have you discovered any traps or anything like that in the city?"

Chen Shan was curious; when he entered the city, he had considered looking for some kind of government agency or something.

But he wasn't familiar with this area, so he didn't waste his time.

Even after it was all over, he hadn't seen the mechanism do anything.

"Oh, I've already checked. Most of the mechanisms were damaged during the fire attack, or they were unusable due to the chain reaction."

"After all, most of them are made of wood."

Chen Shan was stunned when he heard Xiao Zhen say that.

It seems that materials like copper and iron are still quite important among the seven kingdoms. Apart from necessary military equipment, no one is willing to spend them on city defenses and mechanisms.

After all, even the city gates were made of wood, the only difference being the addition of some copper and iron.
