Commander Zhao Douan never anticipated that he would encounter a battle as soon as he arrived at the Western Front Battle Zone.
The Yunfu Rebel Army was attacking the city head-on, with the citizens inside the Prefecture holding the court's leading general, Xue Shence, in check, while the enemy's light cavalry quietly slipped through the defensive line, heading towards the Taicang Silver Mine.
Being newly appointed with enthusiasm, Great Governor Zhao immediately led the Divine Mechanism Camp's Firearms Cavalry, following the map in his mind, using the shortest path to rush to the destination.
Outside the Taicang Prefecture, a fierce battle was unfolding.
The city gates were tightly shut, and the atmosphere was heavy; the loud and chaotic sounds of killing could be heard clearly even through the thick city walls.
