Meanwhile, as the battle reports were sent back to the Capital, the land of Jizhou grew increasingly hot, and the flames of war raged ever fiercer.
Since the Imperial Guard occupied Huanmu City with the aid of the Red Barbarian Cannons, they successively seized control of the Three Mountains on the southern shore, breaking the Yellow Turban Army's strategic formation, and propelled an army of over two hundred thousand into Jizhou.
In just two weeks, the Imperial Guard advanced unstoppably deep into Jizhou territory, reclaiming one-fourth of its cities. Whenever encountering a siege, they would bring out the Red Barbarian Cannons, firing a few blasts.
The morale of the Yellow Turban Army, hard-won several times, vanished in an instant as shells exploded, causing them to flee like scared rats.
Apart from the advantage in firearms, the Song Army far surpassed the Yellow Turban Army in terms of equipment.
