Chapter 71 Breaking the Door
boom!
Following a loud bang that resounded through heaven and earth.

Sun Wukong was filled with brilliant golden energy, and he crashed heavily into the city wall.

The sturdy city gate creaked under his violent impact, as if it was under tremendous pressure.

At the same time, this elite assault force formed by the vanguard army followed closely and launched the final charge.

In the fierce battle, time seems to slow down. Every movement and every expression is infinitely magnified.

The long stick in Sun Wukong's hand was like a flash of lightning that cut through the dark sky, and every swing was carried with endless power and determination.

His figure shuttled back and forth on the battlefield, and no one could stop him wherever he went.

Finally, amid chaos and bloodshed, the city gate was breached by the elite assault force led by the captain behind Sun Wukong.

"Run away!"

"We are willing to surrender!"

The Qingshan defenders were overwhelmed by the sudden attack. They fled in disarray or knelt down on the spot to beg for surrender.

Sun Wukong stood in front of the city gate with a long stick held high in his hand, looking down on everything that fell at his feet.

Although this operation seems easy, it was achieved at the cost of countless lives and blood.

You must know that this raid not only took the enemy by surprise but also caught them off guard.

What is more important is the fierce charge of Sun Wukong, the top god of war.

Originally, the Qingshan defenders had been living off the huge mountain ranges adjacent to Cangzhou and Qizhou all year round.

The folk customs are also full of martial virtues.

The overall quality of the Qingshan defenders is quite good.

If it was just the raiding force led by this captain, it might take some effort.

Unfortunately, this time the assault force formed by the vanguard army had an additional member, Sun Wukong.

He tore through the Qingshan defenders' line in an extremely violent and exaggerated manner.

And with his own strength, he violently broke open the city gate.

There were all kinds of mighty operations. Where had these defenders in the mountains ever seen such a scene?

This directly led to the collapse of the defenders' morale and triggered the subsequent large-scale defeat.

However, for Sun Wukong and this elite assault force.

Taking over the gate of Qingshan County is just the beginning.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines through the sparse clouds and onto the stone road of Qingshan County.

The streets that are usually bustling with people are now empty, leaving only silence and a tense atmosphere in the air.

At this time, inside the Qingshan County Government Office, the Qingshan County Magistrate and the County Lieutenant looked pale, with worry and anxiety in their eyes.

The county magistrate, a short middle-aged man, clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white from excessive force.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes revealed deep worry.

The county lieutenant was a tall and mighty middle-aged man, with his back straight and tense, and his fists clenched, as if he was trying his best to suppress his inner anger.

"Everyone, we must retake the city gate as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

The county magistrate paced back and forth, his brow full of anxiety.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right."

"I have already deployed the city's garrison to prepare for a counterattack."

The county lieutenant frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Not only that."

The county magistrate stopped and looked at everyone: "We must understand the enemy's situation. County lieutenant, what do you know about this?"

"According to the spy's report, the general who will attack the city this time is holding a long stick and is unstoppable! He leads an elite force that moves quickly and has strong combat effectiveness."

The county lieutenant thought for a moment and then answered.

"Long stick?" "No matter what, we must take back the city gate as soon as possible."

A hint of doubt flashed across the county magistrate's eyes. As far as he could remember, he had never heard of any war god holding a long stick in the nearby states.

But he didn't think much about it, and the doubt in his eyes turned into a firm look.

"My Lords, County Lieutenant, the enemy troops outside the city have completely occupied the city gates, and the defenders at the city gates have been defeated. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Just as everyone was discussing, a lieutenant hurried in to report.

"Everyone, now is the critical moment for Qingshan County. We must go all out and never let the city gate fall into the hands of the enemy."

"Now, each of you will be responsible for dispatching troops and preparing to launch a counterattack!"

The county magistrate took a deep breath and said resolutely.

Following the county magistrate's order, everyone left and urgently mobilized the defenders in the city.

For a time, soldiers in the city were frequently mobilized and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant stood in the county government office, looking out at the rapidly mobilized Qingshan defenders. This was a life-and-death battle that concerned not only personal honor and disgrace, but also the safety of the entire county.

"My Lord, what do you think of this battle?"

The county lieutenant broke the silence.

"The enemy is coming with great force, but we also have our own advantages. We are now in a favorable geographical position."

"And at the moment, the number of this raiding force is not too large. As long as we command them properly, we may have a chance of winning."

The magistrate thought for a moment before answering.

"But the warrior with the stick is quite troublesome."

The county lieutenant said worriedly, "Based on what we have seen so far, this person's combat capability is extremely strong and he may pose a considerable threat to our army."

"I understand your concerns."

"But now if you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too."

"Now we can only hope that the enemy is small in number and will be the first to retreat under the human wave tactics of the county soldiers. As long as we give full play to the advantages of our army, we may still be able to defeat them."

The county magistrate nodded slightly and comforted the county lieutenant optimistically.

While the two were discussing, the deputy lieutenant came again to report: "Sir, county lieutenant, the troops have been assembled and can launch an attack at any time."

"very good."

The Qingshan County Magistrate's eyes flashed with determination. "Immediately order the troops to prepare for battle and recapture the city gate!"

The two men stood on a high place in the county government office, looking towards the direction of the city gate in the distance. There, smoke and dust were rising, the sound of horse hooves was deafening, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.

The elite troops led by the captain behind Sun Wukong were as fierce as wolves and tigers. Their iron hooves trampled on the city walls, making dull sounds.

"We must take back the city gate as soon as possible!"

The county magistrate's voice was resolute, and there was a glimmer in his eyes, but more of it was worry.

He knew very well that if the city gate was lost, it would mean that the entire county would fall into the hands of the enemy.

The county lieutenant didn't say anything, but his eyes gave the answer.

He nodded vigorously, the muscles on his face tensed, showing his tenacious determination.

"Brothers, pick up your weapons and follow me!"

The county lieutenant turned and shouted loudly to the group of soldiers behind him.

The soldiers acted quickly, holding their spears and swords tightly, with resolute and tragic expressions on their faces.

Their steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was writing a heroic epic.

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were blocked by thick clouds, as if they couldn't bear to look directly at this bloody battlefield.

At this time, Sun Wukong, wearing iron armor and holding a long stick, stood at the gate of the county town like a mountain.

His eyes were firm and deep, as if they could see through all the fog.
