If they were experienced soldiers, they would be able to discern the number and distance of the enemy by the sound of their galloping footsteps. However, most of the soldiers in Bhikkhu City were new recruits. They opened their eyes wide and tried their best to look far outside the city, but it was difficult for them to detect the enemy's movements.

It was not until the cavalry of the Chang family army came into view like a tide and was only inches away from the city gate that they realized that the enemy was close at hand.

The soldiers guarding the city turned pale when they saw this scene. One of the soldiers grabbed the gong in panic and struck it hard.

The sound of the gong echoed on the city wall, waking up the sleeping soldiers.

They all looked up and saw the Chang family army galloping towards them like dragons and with swords and spears like forests.

"Something bad is happening! The enemy is coming! There are enemies outside the city!" The soldiers hurriedly grabbed bows and arrows, quickly put arrows on the strings, and shot towards the outside of the city.

Arrows from the top of the city were shot sparsely at the enemy, occasionally hitting a few people, and a few shrill screams were heard.

But how could such a sparse array of arrows withstand the overwhelming force of Chang's army? The miserable screams of their companions due to being shot by arrows inspired them to charge with all their might.

The distance of only twenty meters seemed to be crossed in the blink of an eye.

The city gates were wide open and completely defenseless, and the Chang family army, led by Duan Tianyang, poured into the city effortlessly.

After a large number of Chang's troops entered the city, West City instantly fell into chaos.

As Duan Tianyang walked towards the city, he turned back and shouted, "Ayi, immediately clear out the guards on top of the city walls and hold the city gates firmly!"

"Yes! Brother Yuan!" Zhang Yi turned around and responded loudly, then shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, follow me!" Under his leadership, hundreds of Chang family army soldiers rushed towards the city wall.

Without Duan Tianyang making any further deployments, all the soldiers of the Chang family army launched a fierce attack on the city.

The Chang family army was divided into two camps, and the second camp was commanded by Mao Lu and Xiu Yun.

Although Xiuyun followed Duan Tianyang to Biqiu City, a considerable number of her soldiers still remained in Lingfei Town.

Hundreds of soldiers poured out from the city gate to the City Lord's Mansion in the city center, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the streets and alleys of the city, neither side giving in.

At this time, Duan Tianyang was shocked by the bravery of the Chang family army. He originally thought that the Chang family army was just a group of rabble and could not withstand a single blow.

The fighting power of Biqiu City was mediocre, and the two sides should be evenly matched. Even if the Chang family army could win, both sides would surely suffer losses.

He had originally planned to wait until the Bhikkhu army was badly damaged and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the city lord's mansion and kill the city lord and the chief of the city guards of Bhikkhu City, and then the mission would be completed.

As for Chang's army, let them find their own way to survive.

However, the actual battle situation was far from what he imagined...

The situation on the battlefield was one-sided. Even though the two sides had equal numbers of people, the Chang family army always maintained the upper hand, forcing the soldiers of Biqiu City to retreat step by step, leaving them with no ability to fight back.

The reason for this is that an important factor is that there are a large number of martial artists in the Chang family army.

In comparison, there are very few martial artists in Biqiu City.

During the battle, the martial artists of the Chang family army, wearing solid armor and holding sharp weapons, marched forward bravely and rushed to the front, directly disrupting the formation of Biqiu City.

Immediately afterwards, the ordinary soldiers of the Chang family army followed closely, advancing step by step in an orderly formation.

The army of Biqiu City had its formation disrupted and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Under the relentless pressure of the Chang family army, the army of Biqiu City fell in large numbers and was completely defeated.

Duan Tianyang gazed deeply at the battlefield, secretly marveling in his heart: The fighting power of the Chang family army is indeed extraordinary. There are so many martial artists in the army that ordinary armies can hardly compare with them.

The reason why the Chang family army has so many martial artists has deep roots.

Back to the beginning of the Chang Family Army, Chang Yuan was its core force. He cleverly brought together several fifth-grade sects under his command.

The leaders of these sects, such as Zhang Yi, Fang Chao, Wan Fei, Mao Lu and others, also became the backbone of the Chang family army.

After successfully integrating these sects, Chang Yuan widely recruited scattered soldiers, bandits and mountain robbers, and gradually built up the huge Chang Family Army of today.

In the city of Biqiu, the Chang family army was invincible and advanced all the way from the city gate to the city lord's mansion.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, thousands of soldiers were on high alert, but the Chang family army was full of momentum and showed no fear, sweeping in like a surging tide.

The two sides then engaged in a fierce battle outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Before long, the Chang family army broke through the outer defense line with great momentum and began to attack the City Lord's Mansion with all their might.

At the forefront of the battle, Fang Chao and Wan Fei from the First Battalion took the lead and led the entire army in a fierce charge. Their momentum was as strong as a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

On the wall of the City Lord's Mansion, soldiers stood densely packed, arrows in their hands pouring down like a torrential rain, causing people in the Chang family army to wail and fall to the ground from time to time.

Seeing that the defenders in the city lord's mansion were holding on tenaciously and had no intention of retreating, Fang Chao decisively issued an order: "Use explosives to blow up the city gates and courtyard walls!"

Under his command, two soldiers of the Chang family army carried barrels of explosives on their shoulders and held shields in their hands, and bravely rushed towards the gate of the city lord's mansion despite the rain of arrows.

However, just as they were about to reach the door, they were unfortunately hit in the legs by arrows shot from above, and both fell to the ground.

Then, arrows came like a torrential rain, shooting them both into sieves.

Seeing this tragic scene, several soldiers stepped forward, rushed forward with shields, picked up the barrel of explosives that had rolled to the ground, and continued to charge towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

They placed the powder barrels on both sides of the door, quickly took out the lighter and lit the gunpowder fuse.

As the gunpowder fuse burned fiercely, the soldiers of the Chang family army quickly evacuated to a safe area.

A moment later, a thunderous sound that shook the earth resounded through the sky, and the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was blown to pieces by the fierce bombardment of two barrels of explosives and flew into the air.

Suddenly, dust flew up and stones scattered everywhere. The defenders inside the mansion gate were blown to pieces by the huge force of the explosion, with heavy casualties.

Seeing that the gate of the City Lord's Mansion had been breached, the Chang family army rushed in and once again engaged in a bloody hand-to-hand fight with the defenders in the mansion.

Fang Chao and Wan Fei were both covered in blood. They moved forward side by side. Whenever they encountered an enemy, they would swing their swords and kill them. Amidst the screams, the enemies blocking their way fell to the ground one after another.

The two men fought their way across the front yard and finally arrived outside the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.

Fang Chao didn't hesitate and kicked the door hard, causing it to burst open.

At the moment the door broke, a rapid sound of mechanism was heard from inside the house, followed by dozens of crossbow arrows being shot out.

The crossbow arrows hit Fang Chao's armor one after another, making a clanging sound of metal clashing and sparks flying.

One of the crossbow arrows actually accurately penetrated the weak spot in the armor and hit Fang Chao's shoulder. There was a muffled "puff" sound and Fang Chao's body shook slightly, and his movements could not help but be slightly delayed.
