As soon as the sky was bright, the Xuanqi army had already finished marching, standing on the high ground facing the north gate of Luozhou City. The defenders of Naju Castle began to assemble towards the north gate. As the sky brightened, the rumbling explosion came down from the top of the mountain, making the defenders of Naju City a little overwhelmed.

Soon after, a torrent poured down from the cliff, but it landed right on the city walls. The raging flood quickly rushed along the city wall into the city of Naju, and countless Silla soldiers were swept away by the flood and rushed to the low-lying areas of the city. The houses in the city could not stop the raging floods, and they began to collapse continuously.

Amid the screams and cries for help, a large number of floating corpses began to appear in the city. Or drowned in the flood, or swept by the flood and crashed into the walls and hard objects, and the speed under the feet was simply not faster than the speed of the flood. Everyone desperately retreated towards the south of the city, and the crowds that crowded every street began to stampede. As long as someone falls, countless pairs of feet will suddenly step over the body, and they will be trampled into flesh and mud alive.

The flood finally broke down the walls and flowed into the river, and countless Silla people were swept directly into the river by the flood, and the entire river was covered with dense human heads. The officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire, who had long been standing on both sides of the river, would basically not fail as long as they stabbed out the spears in their hands casually. Most of the Silla soldiers, who were already exhausted by the flood, were unable to resist at all, and were like lambs to the slaughter, harvested by the officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire. And some of the Silla soldiers who were still desperately coming to the shore, looking at the cold and shining spears, did not dare to get any closer, and could only be swept away by the flood.

It wasn't until two hours later that the waters of Pinghu began to shrink and no longer poured down like a flood. The entire city of Luozhou was already in a mess, and the cries and shouts were endless. The Xuanqi army stepped on the city walls and ruins and rushed into the city of Luoju, and in the first half of the journey there was almost no resistance, and it was only in the eastern corner of the city that the Silla soldiers began to resist.

The huge numerical advantage still worked, and the city, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was finally breached. When the guard Jin Zhili was found, she was already a corpse, which was found dozens of miles downstream of the river two days later.

After taking Naju, the army of Xuanqi advanced along the upper reaches of the river, and soon joined up with the army of Gaoyao, who had already taken Heshun, and the army of more than 200,000 surrounded Gwangju City.

Although he did not expect that the Xuanqi army would take Naju City so quickly, Gwangju General Lu Hanying had already made preparations. Before that, countless people of Gwangju had fled from Gwangju City to avoid the war. Gwangju Castle, which has an army of 80,000 troops, is fully prepared for battle, but it is difficult to break through for a while.

The Xuanmen disciples who had infiltrated Gwangju City a long time ago finally played their part. Just before dawn on the third day when the Xuanqi army surrounded Gwangju City, dozens of Xuanmen disciples set fire to Gwangju City. Gwangju Castle, where most of the houses are made of wood, was on fire from one point to another, and it was difficult to extinguish it.

When the fire broke out, most of the Silla soldiers hurriedly put out the fire, but the fire was so big that not only did it not extinguish it, but it burned more violently. Under the strong south wind, the entire city of Gwangju became a sea of fire and smoke. Countless Silla soldiers and civilians were stunned by the smoke before they died in the flames. By the time the fire was extinguished, it had been a day and a night. When Xuan Qi led the army into the city, he basically encountered little resistance. For the first time, the people of Silla truly confronted the cruelty of Xuanqi, and a city was completely destroyed. More than 70,000 Silla soldiers and more than 100,000 Gwangju civilians were burned alive.

The name of "butcher" spread all over the world again, which brought a lot of infamy to Xuan Qi. The literati of the Celestial Dynasty did not dare to come out in person to accuse Xuan Qi, but almost all the literati scolded Xuan Qi one-sidedly, scolding Xuan Qi as a pig and a dog, without benevolence, righteousness and morality.

On the other hand, Xuan Qi also had a lot less trouble in the subsequent attack, and the smaller Silla towns basically fled from the wind. It's just that this also brings trouble, as long as there is a Silla soldier who will resist to the death, it is often the last person to fight, and it has brought a lot of casualties to the Xuanqi army.

After that, after Xuanqi seized Lingguang, the Great Wall, Tanyang, Chunchang, Gucheng, Nanyang, Qiuli and other places, he turned to the east and seized Suncheon, Hedong, Sizhou, Jinju and other places, and surrounded Busan with Zhuge Yunzhi, who was still at sea. The two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights before the Xuanqi army entered the city. After taking Busan, Hyun Qi still divided his troops into two routes and went north to encircle Ulsan.

After crossing the Yalu River, Li Xing's army marched southward, and after successively taking Guseong, Yuanchuan, Changjin, Hamhung, Yangdeok, Suncheon, and Gangdong, they approached Pyongyang City. All the way, they marched eastward along the Taedong River, took Anyue, Huangzhou, Jiangxi, and Daetong, and besieged Pyongyang City. An army of more than 700,000 troops attacked Pyongyang City by land and water, and finally broke through the water gate on the third day.

Two months later, the Xuanqi army had already taken Ulsan, Gyeongju, Pohang, Daegu, and Jeonju, and Li Xing had also taken Haeju, Wonsan, and Chuncheon. At this time, Park Joo-ho finally couldn't sit still at all and had a fierce quarrel with Lee Sung-ye. The two parted unhappily, but they had to help each other.

After Hyungi took Suwon, the navy army took Incheon, and Li Xing took Goyang, the three-way army finally formed a siege of Seoul. At this time, the 1.3 million army attacking Silla was less than 1 million, and in Seoul, there were only 600,000 Silla troops left, of which 200,000 belonged to Li Sungye.

Park Joo-ho began to order the Silla army to arrange defensive lines along the rivers and mountains around Seoul to block the attack of the Celestial Army. The Celestial Empire's army had to pay a great price for almost every step forward. The Xuanqi army encountered a fierce counterattack of 100,000 Silla soldiers in the south of the city, and only after paying more than 30,000 people did it defeat the Silla army. The remaining Silla army began to retreat into Seoul, and the encirclement of Seoul by the Celestial Army was finally formed.

However, there were five gates in Seoul, and the navy army cooperated with the Xuanqi army to attack the west gate, the south gate and the water gate, and the army of Li Xing was responsible for the attack on the north gate and the east gate. However, the army of the Celestial Empire was not in a hurry to attack, but only sent soldiers every day to call for battle at various gates, and the Silla army did not dare to go out of the city, so they could only keep scolding the army of the Celestial Empire. After four or five days, the inside and outside of Seoul began to become unusually calm, but everyone knew that it was just a calm before the storm.
