This time, the attack on the city by the coalition of eighteen feudal lords was of an immense scale. Their collective military force was four-to-five million strong; some even mobilized soldiers from outer regions or incorporated those from Daqian, surrounding the Imperial City completely.
Naturally, the leader of these eighteen warlords was the most influential and powerful King Wei Wu.
His declared motive was to avenge his son: Wei Shen was publicly executed by Chu Yuan, and as a father, taking revenge for his son was the most appropriate excuse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of cannons echoed, and a myriad of siege machines bombarded the city gate like a violent storm. The ground trembled harshly from the bombardment, indicating they were well-prepared and had a sufficient number of attack instruments to break through the city gate as quickly as possible.
The Eastern Gate of the Imperial City.
