With five thousand Shenwu troops and tens of thousands of left troops, Emperor Shenwu actually asked how long the rebels could hold out, and why he didn't ask when the rebels would break through the Jiujiang government office...

Everyone did not understand the true combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army, and they all felt that Emperor Shenwu was too blindly confident. How would they face the rebels if they breached the government office?

Zuo Mengeng outside had almost the same idea as the local officials in the government office. He thought that a 60,000-strong army could defeat the 5,000-strong Shenwu Army, but what?

The situation was completely opposite to what he imagined. The Shenwu Army opened up all its firepower, and the battle turned into a one-sided massacre at the beginning. Before Zuo Menggen could react, thousands of people had fallen in front of the battle.

Tens of thousands of people were instantly in chaos, hurriedly retreated, and came to attack the government office with great momentum. Zuo Mengeng did not expect such a result, and even his face turned green with fear.

Yao Guangchang, who was beside him, felt something was wrong and said hurriedly:

"Young Marshal, something is wrong. The Shenwu Army's firepower is too fierce. The general has experienced so many battles and has never seen such a fierce army and firearms. Three thousand people actually defeated more than 60,000 of me.

The last general suggested that the other two groups start attacking immediately, trying to break through the wall, and also send people back to bring the artillery over. The last general does not believe that they can withstand the artillery bombardment..."

Zuo Mengeng was already stunned. After hearing Yao Guangchang's suggestion, he reacted and hurriedly shouted:

"Come here, send the order for the other two groups to start attacking. Yao Guangchang, go back and bring ten artillery pieces over in person. I will bombard the little emperor..."

"Got the order!"

The messenger immediately conveyed Zuo Mengeng's order. There were not many people in the other two groups, and only about 5,000 people along the way. After all, the government office was too small, and there were too many people to use it. They could only rush up in teams one by one...

…

Seeing Zuo Mengeng retreating, Zhou Yuji sent an order to inspect the firearms in preparation for the upcoming battle.

If it were not for protecting Emperor Shenwu, the officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Army would definitely rush forward to capture Zuo Mengeng, and the tens of thousands of soldiers would not take him seriously at all.

"Come on, capture the little emperor alive..."

Suddenly, shouts of killing came from behind the government office. Zhou Yuji knew that the rebels could not start a frontal attack, so they began to move the battlefield.

However, they were not worried. There were still two thousand divine warriors and several hundred forest guards inside. The wall could serve as a cover to deal with the rebel attack...

Inside the wall, the Shenwu Army has been waiting for the rebels to attack. After a long time without fighting, the soldiers' hands have become itchy.

Seeing that the rebels finally started to attack, they, under the command of General Qian, immediately opened fire on the rebels who were about 200 steps outside the wall.

"Bang bang bang..."

Due to the limited number of people on the opposite side, rows of people came forward again. Three rows of continuous fire were enough to deal with it. After several rounds of continuous volleys, the rebels could only fall to the ground following the sound of gunfire...

While the Shenwu Army was shooting, the Imperial Guards on the roof also began to raise their guns and name the rebels. They quickly repelled the two attacks. The rebels left more than a thousand corpses and ran away...

The combat effectiveness of Zuo Liangyu's men is not good at all. How can they withstand the attacks of the Shenwu Army and the Royal Forest Guards? Without a supervising team, how can they not collapse...

Several servants were quite loyal and did not escape. They hurriedly came to report to Zuo Mengeng:

"Young Marshal, the two groups behind have suffered over a thousand casualties and fled..."

"Nima, these bastards, can they stand up to my father?"

When Zuo Mengeng heard that the other two groups had fled as soon as the battle started, he cursed his mother angrily.

If you want to avenge your handsome father, no one else can rely on him. You can only rely on his cronies and servants.

Yao Guangchang went to pull the artillery and hasn't come back yet, so they can't stand still in front of the government office for a long time.

Zuo Mengeng thought for a moment and decided to let the cavalry charge for a while. He thought that firearms should not be able to withstand the cavalry charge...

"Send the order, the cavalry charges. As long as the Shenwu Army in front of the government office is dispersed, each cavalry will be rewarded fifty taels of silver!"

Knowing that money can make the world go round, Zuo Mengeng once again rewarded the charge cavalry heavily. As for whether the money will actually be paid afterwards, Zuo Mengeng doesn't know now.

Zuo Mengeng gave an order, and under the leadership of several hundred servants, three thousand cavalry quickly charged towards the Shenwu Army:

"Da da da……"

As soon as it started up, Zhou Yuji's mouth showed a sneer:

"Soldiers, the rebel cavalry is here, prepare to fight, all the muskets will go to the front row and fire!"

"Here!"

The AK47 gunners standing in the second row and the third batch immediately stood in the first row after receiving the order, and their seven hundred rifles and fifty AK guns quickly aimed at the incoming cavalry.

The opposing cavalry rushed to a distance of about 200 steps, and Zhou Yuji waved his hand fiercely:

"Shoot and beat me hard..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Following Zhou Yuji's order, rifles and repeating guns fired continuously at the charging cavalry, especially the fifty AK47s that fired fiercely:

"chug……"

Bullets hit the front row of cavalry and horses like raindrops:

"Puff puff……"

The cavalry in the front row spattered clouds of blood mist, and fell instantly. Then they tripped the cavalry who rushed up from behind and flipped them over...

The cavalryman who fell to the ground had no time to get up, and was soon trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the horse coming up from behind.

Some who were lucky enough not to be trampled by the horses hurriedly got up from the ground, but as soon as they got up they were killed by bullets fired by the Shenwu Army...

The three thousand cavalry were suddenly in chaos, but under the threat of hundreds of servants, they did not collapse and still charged forward with their swords in hand...

However, what greeted the rebel cavalry was still fierce shooting from muskets. Fifty AK47 bullets sprayed out wildly and rifle bursts fired, once again beating the cavalry who had just charged up, including men and horses, into a sieve!

"Bang bang bang..."

"Quickly retreat..."

Half of the hundreds of loyal servants were also shot and killed. The remaining cavalry saw that the situation was not good and immediately retreated in a hurry. Zuo Menggeng had no way to do this, except for being incompetent and furious:

"A bunch of trash, let's see if the artillery is coming?"

"Da da da……"

At this time, more than a dozen war horses came running quickly. It was Yao Guangchang who was going to pull the cannon. He reined in the war horses beside Zuo Mengeng and said:

"Young Marshal, the artillery has brought twenty red cannons and Fran cannons. They will be here soon!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zuo Menggeng was overjoyed when he heard that twenty artillery pieces were coming. He did not give the order to attack, but stopped and waited for the artillery.

"Squeaky..."

About five hundred steps away from Zuo Mengeng, an artillery unit pulling twenty artillery pieces was slowly approaching.

As long as they set up the artillery in front of the government office, with twenty artillery bombardments, the Jiujiang government office will definitely turn into ruins. Neither the Shenwu Army nor the Yulin Army can stop the artillery bombardment...

However, Zhu Cixiang expected that they would bombard the government office with artillery. On the roofs of two streets more than 400 steps away from the government office, a thousand snipers and throwers had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that artillery was coming, the sniper on the roof immediately raised his gun and aimed at the rebel artillery that was slowly entering the shooting range.

The incoming artillery force numbered about 500 people, and twenty artillery pieces slowly entered the firing range pulled by ox carts. As soon as they entered the firing range, a burst of gunfire rang out:

"Bang bang bang..."

The snipers did not kill the artillerymen. The first thing they attacked was twenty artillery carts. The cattle and horses pulling the artillery carts were killed instantly, and they neighed several times and fell to the ground...

It couldn't be easier for five hundred snipers to deal with twenty artillery trucks. A burst of gunfire rang out, immediately paralyzing the artillery trucks...

The rebels transporting the artillery were horrified and hurriedly stepped forward to push the artillery cart. However, as soon as they touched the artillery cart, a cloud of blood mist immediately splashed on their bodies and heads.

Now no one dared to approach the artillery truck and immediately fled in all directions.

"Bang bang bang..."

The snipers on the roof immediately fired at the fleeing artillerymen. As the gunfire rang out, they were killed one by one.

Some fled under the house occupied by the throwers, who immediately dropped grenades on the roof:

"Rumble..."

These people were immediately blown up by grenades and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. Some had their legs blown off, some had their arms blown off, and some had their intestines pierced and rotten...

In about two minutes, throwers and snipers on the roof killed all the artillerymen who came.

But they did not evacuate, they still stayed on the roof. Their mission was to prevent the artillery from being pulled in front of the government office!

Zuo Menggeng and others were shocked when they heard the gunshots here, and hurriedly sent people to respond.

But the rebels who came to respond were once again shot by snipers and bombed with grenades, and they could only retreat with more than a hundred corpses left behind...

The artillery could not be pulled over and the government office could not break through. Meng Geng was annoyed and angry. He suddenly lost his mind and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Today we must attack the government office. Charge for me. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"

There was no turning back for the generals around Zuo Menggen. They looked at Zuo Menggen, then at the government office and the soldiers behind them, gritted their teeth and shouted:

"Brothers, we have followed the young commander in rebellion. There is no turning back. Follow me and charge..."

"Come on, capture the little emperor alive..."

Led by several generals, 50,000 rebels once again charged the government office...

Tens of thousands of troops launched a charge with overwhelming momentum, but the Shenwu Army was not afraid and immediately raised their rifles and AK47s, waiting for Zhou Yuji's order.

Seeing that the rebels had entered about 200 steps, Zhou Yuji ordered to fire again:

"Fire and give me a hard beating...!"
