A few days later, a deafening explosion sounded, and one of the walls of the fortress was blown down by gunpowder.

Braving arrows and bullets, the Datong Army rushed in through the gap. After killing and wounding more than forty people, they quickly rushed into the fortress.

More than 300 garrison defenders were all annihilated by the Datong Army.

After occupying the fortress, Lu Xiangsheng finally arrived outside Phoenix City and continued to camp and dig trenches.

He never thought about relying on traitors to seize the city. He just followed his own strategy of digging and burying explosives along the way.

Watching the Datong Army dig in bit by bit and looking at the occupied bastion in the distance, the morale of the Eight Banners defenders in Phoenix City plummeted.

Zhang Fengyan started to take action. He went out on crutches and said he would fight Nanmanzi desperately.

Naodai liked this kind of warrior very much and quickly promoted Zhang Fengyan and gave him 500 Chinese Jurchens to lead.

"Brother Zhang, the Tatars are really in trouble. We are willing to follow you to start a rebellion."

"Tatars are barbarians, not even Jurchens. What kind of Jurchens are they? The Jurchens within the Liaodong Great Wall are the real Jurchens, and those outside the Great Wall are all barbarians!"

"I've long been tired of seeing Tatars. They used to grow their hair like Han people, but now they have their hair shaved and have pig tail braids. It's so ugly!"

"Second Brother Zhang, take action quickly. If you don't take action, Phoenix City will be occupied and we won't be able to make any achievements!"

"..."
