Yelü Shenxuan ordered the Liao army to launch a general attack at the East City Gate.

The effect of this command is immediate.

The pressure on the Yueya Guan's release valve has increased exponentially.

The pressure on the East City Gate was so great that it could no longer hold out.

But at this time, both the North Gate and West Gate were also facing attacks from the Liao army like mad dogs, with no extra strength to support the East Gate.

The East Gate is crumbling and on the verge of collapse.

Under such intense defensive pressure, the eastern city wall repeatedly fell to the Liao army's attacks, breached time and again. Though each breach was subsequently retaken by the Qin army's valiant defense, the increasing frequency of these assaults made it clear to all that the complete collapse of the eastern gate was only a matter of time.

The most terrifying thing is the impact this situation has on morale.

The Liao army grew bolder with every victory. On the verge of triumph, they seemed to have forgotten their fear of death and even their exhaustion.

For decades, this was the Liao army's closest attempt to success.

Faced with such a huge temptation, the Liao army was like a pack of starving mad dogs who, after seeing a bone, had completely lost their reason.

...and on the Qin army's side...

The morale of the commoners has reached a breaking point.

Yelü Shenxuan had achieved his goal.

Li Chen's goal was also achieved.

In the city lord's mansion, Li Chen sat in the council hall, closing his eyes in deep thought.

Wu Ban Shan stood before him, using an extremely difficult tone to say: "Your Highness, the East City Gate is about to be lost."

Li Chen nodded slightly, without saying a word.

At this moment, the cries of killing outside the city were clearly audible even within the lord's mansion.

Just as he was about to speak, a deafening explosion suddenly shook the ground of the City Lord's Mansion.

"The city gates have been breached!"

Wu Ban Shan's eyes immediately turned red.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, when he saw the Moonlit Pass, which he had guarded for decades, being breached, Wu Ban Shan still couldn't accept it.

"Your Highness!"

Wu Ban Shan raised his head and shouted hoarsely.

Li Chen opened his eyes and said, "General Wu, this palace promises you, very soon, I will let you personally take back what you have lost."

Wu Ban Shan gasped for breath, his eyes wide with tears. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Chen stood up and said, "Execute the next step of the plan, begin preparing for street fighting."

These hundreds of thousands of conscripted laborers must all remain at Yueya Pass.

At this moment, Li Chen was cold-blooded, like a butcher.

As if hundreds of thousands of lives were to him, just hundreds of thousands of blades of grass.

Compassion does not control the military, and righteousness does not control wealth.

Li Chen knew that if he wanted to unify the world, he had to be ruthless.

Human life, in the eyes of an emperor, is merely a pawn.

Wu Ban Shan bowed deeply to Li Chen, then turned to prepare for the street fight.

The loss of the East City Gate was a huge boost for the Liao army.

For decades, the Liao army suffered at least hundreds of thousands of casualties in front of the Moon Gate Pass.

But this one time, they successfully breached the city gate.

When the city gates fell, the devastated landscape of Yueya Pass was laid bare before the Liao army. From top to bottom, every single soldier trembled with excitement.

"It's broken! It's completely broken!!!"

"Breakthrough!!!"

A Liao general roared, "My warriors, follow me! Charge!!! Capture Yuemenguan and riches and honors await us! We are the heroes of the Liao!"

"Woohoo!~"

A thunderous roar erupted, accompanied by the Liaoning army's ecstatic cries as they surged into Yueya Pass like a raging torrent.

At this moment, the morale of the hundreds of thousands of conscripted laborers completely crumbled.r stomachs. I am ashamed to have been granted such a territory.
