Chapter 309. Kill Di Ao, purify the monarch’s side
Capital, city gates.
The largest city gate of the capital is called Chongyang Gate, with a long history, and the walls above and on the sides still bear marks left by many renowned literati and poets.
Unfortunately, it’s all gone now. The two gates were directly blown away, and the entire entrance is barely standing. God knows how much gunpowder is secretly buried underneath.
After the gates were blown open, the Dragon Guard, who had been ambushing outside the city, immediately launched an attack, swarming through the breach into the city.
The Dragon Guard stationed inside the city also began to ambush the city’s garrison.
The Chu Kingdom had been at peace for many years, and since its founding, the entire capital had never seen a foreign enemy, leaving its defenses emptier than a sieve.
The small number of gate guards were awakened by the explosion and immediately trapped in a pincer attack between the inside and outside forces of the Dragon Guard, instantly annihilated without even raising a ripple.
The gate commander, however, was loyal and brave, fighting fiercely with a small group of personal soldiers until he was finally assassinated by the Substitute Messenger of the True Mother God Sect.
Di Qingying led the charge, wearing only simple armor, riding into the city with her trusted followers.
Upon entering the city, the Dragon Guard immediately charged at the Five City Patrol and the garrison of Long Xiao Guards.
