After a heart-stopping tremor, Liu Zhian brushed the dust off his hat. His command post was already within the range of the Tang Army's artillery fire. The Tang Army fired at the old Imperial Palace of the Dahua Empire without the slightest psychological pressure.
To be honest, if this palace once had some artistic or archaeological value, after several rounds of destruction and renovation, there was almost nothing left worth lingering over.
If a subterranean bunker were dug beside the Forbidden City, with the palace having collapsed for a long time without repair, and its contents having long since been emptied, it's hard to say what value it still holds.
To speak of sacrificing the lives of Great Tang Empire soldiers for such ephemeral things, Strauss had never even considered it.
