After so many days of silence, the Tang Army began its first true assault on Beiyuan City. This assault was devastating.
A single strategic bombing turned Beiyuan City, this human hell, into another kind of hell altogether.
The few stone buildings collapsed in the explosions, and while most of the numerous wooden structures remained relatively intact, they all suffered some damage.
The Tang Army didn't use incendiary bombs, mainly because they had no intention of resorting to such cruel tactics in Beiyuan City, which was bound to come under their own jurisdiction.
Countless 250-kilogram bombs left dense pits across the city, marking the once unassailed city with scars.
Beiyuan City didn't even have bomb shelters, lacking any sort of modern defenses, so the damage it sustained was immeasurable.
