C15 A Bitter Struggle at the City Gate

Luo Yang's eyes narrowed. He did not expect this young officer to have such skill. Although Luo Yang did not use his full strength in that shot just now, the fact that he was able to leave a mark on his armor showed that his skill was not bad. It seemed like the Yellow Gathered Soldiers weren't all a motley crew. There were hidden talents among them!

However, although Luo Yang endlessly praised Gong even in his heart, it did not mean that he would be merciful. It was just that Luo Yang was not in the mood to fight against Gong Dian in a 1v1. He immediately turned around and continued to attack the yellow-robed soldiers at the city gate.

Seeing that Luo Yang was actually so unreasonable, Gong Du couldn't help but be shocked. From the exchange just now, Gong Du confirmed that the other party's martial arts were definitely above his own. If he was allowed to rush to the city gate, it would increase the difficulty of his mission by quite a bit. Immediately, Gong Du yelled out. He raised the big blade in his hand towards the ground, picked up a single blade from the ground and threw it towards Luo Yang's back. When Gong Du led the yellow-robed soldiers and fought with the defending army for a long time, the ground was filled with the corpses and weapons of the dead soldiers from both sides.

Although Luo Yang did not turn around, he could guess what the yellow-robed general was doing after hearing the whistling sound of breaking wind. However, this kind of attack was nothing to Luo Yang. When he was on a mission all those years ago, Luo Yang had dodged bullets. Immediately, Luo Yang's body sank and he flipped in the air, just barely dodging the single blade. As for himself, he did not slow down at all as he continued his charge towards the yellow-robed soldiers. On the other hand, not only did the saber not pierce Luo Yang, it also happened to land on the waist of one of the yellow-robed soldiers in front of him, instantly chopping him to the ground.

At this moment, Gong Du's face became increasingly gloomy. He didn't expect that the single blade would be able to do any harm to Luo Yang but hoped that he could force him to stop. However, it didn't work. Plus, one of his soldiers was injured, so Gong Du could only give up his single-handed tactics and chased after Luo Yang.

However, Luo Yang was the first to leave and he was much closer to the city gate than Gong Du. Before Gong Du could react, Luo Yang had already rushed behind the yellow-robed soldiers. Luo Yang leaped up and the spearhead in his hand turned into specks of starlight, which landed on the bodies of the yellow-robed soldiers. Those yellow-clothed soldiers were currently focused on fighting the soldiers at the city gate. How could they have noticed the situation behind them? With one spear thrust from Luo Yang, several of the yellow-clothed soldiers immediately fell.

Soon after, Luo Yang leaped again, and before the yellow-robed soldiers could react, he jumped into the middle of the soldiers and started fighting alongside the soldiers. Seeing that Luo Yang had shown his might and rushed over, the morale of the officers and soldiers greatly increased. Many people cheered loudly. With the support of Luo Yang, the crumbling military lines were once again strengthened.

Seeing that Luo Yang had successfully joined the ranks of the soldiers, Gong Du's expression couldn't help but darken. However, he had no choice but to lead his yellow-robed soldiers to continue attacking the city gates! If they could not take down the city gate, their mission this time would be considered as a failure and Gong Du would absolutely not allow such a failure.

Luo Yang's spear's effect was much greater than Gong Du's. In addition, the arched entrance of the city was only this big. Luo Yang alone guarded nearly half of the area, and the rest were defended by the other officers and soldiers. As a result, although Gong Du and his yellow-robed soldiers attacked ferociously, they were unable to do anything to Luo Yang and the others.

Seeing this, Gong Du became more and more anxious. He saw that the number of yellow-robed soldiers that died under Luo Yang's spear was increasing and the result was the same. Just as he was about to send someone to find reinforcements in the city, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him. Gong Du was shocked and quickly turned around to see a group of black shadows on the street leading to the city. However, because they were too far away, he couldn't see who they were. Gong Du's heart immediately turned cold. Could it be that the person who suddenly appeared behind him was the reinforcement of the soldiers?

As Gong Du became nervous, his hands could not help but slow down as well. However, he gave one of his soldiers an opportunity to shoot Gong Du right in the arm. Gong Du's face twisted in pain, but he regained his senses. With his other hand, he used a backhand slash to chop off the head of the ambushers. However, Gong Du held onto his own arm and retreated a few steps. He retreated from the battle and sat on the ground.

"Gong Du! What's the matter with you? " At that time, a familiar shout came from behind Gong Du. Hearing the shout, Gong Du's face finally relaxed a bit. Gong even didn't need to turn his head to know that the owner of the voice was Liu Tao, who was also a junior general of the Yellow Gown Army. It seemed that the team that had distracted him earlier was the army that Liu Ping had brought.

Although the relationship between Gong Du's boss, Han Zhong, and Liu Ping's boss, Sun Xia, was like fire and water, Gong Du and Liu Ping had a good relationship. Both of them were friends in private. Liu Ping had been ordered to set fires all over the city, disrupting the line of sight of the soldiers. The mission was already completed, but he didn't see the army that should have come in from the west gate. He immediately guessed that something must have happened to Gong Du's side, so he immediately brought reinforcements. However, he didn't expect that his actions would cause Gong Du to be injured.

However, Gong Du didn't blame Liu Ping. He immediately turned his head and shouted to Liu Ping: "Come over here! These soldiers attacked! Not easy to deal with! " After shouting, Gong Du wanted to stand up and pick up his weapon to continue fighting, but the pain coming from his arm forced Gong Du to sit on the ground again.

At this moment, Liu Ping had already led his team to Gong Du's side. Liu Ping hurriedly squatted beside Gong Du and asked in concern, "Gong Du, how is it? Are your injuries serious? "

Even though Gong Du was gnashing his teeth in pain, he endured the pain and shook his head. He wouldn't die! Hurry up and help! Take down the city gate so that the army of canals and marshals can enter the city! "

Seeing that even though Gong Du's face was filled with pain, the wound on his arm was indeed nothing. Only then did Liu Ping vigorously nod his head and turn around, instructing a soldier to stay and take care of Gong Du. He raised his long spear and led his yellow-robed soldiers to charge towards the city gate. With the addition of Liu Ping and the others, the yellow-clothed soldiers once again gained the upper hand, while the pressure on the soldiers increased.

Although these yellow-robed soldiers weren't a threat to Luo Yang, he couldn't possibly defend the entire tunnel by himself. After the longspear in his hand had killed several of the yellow-robed soldiers, Luo Yang couldn't help but feel anxious as he watched the yellow-robed soldiers crazily attack the city gates. Right now, he was completely sure that the army of the Yellow Gown Army was already prepared outside the western gate. They only needed to wait for the city gate to open before they could directly enter!

He absolutely could not let the other party have their way! Luo Yang's eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked at the yellow-robed soldier and saw that the soldier was dressed like a high-ranking officer. The spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon as it pierced towards that person.

As for Liu Ping, who was commanding the yellow-robed soldiers to attack the city gate, he had long noticed Luo Yang. He could tell that if it wasn't for Luo Yang's bravery, the city gate would have been taken down long ago. Therefore, the moment Luo Yang attacked, Liu Ping was already prepared. Before Luo Yang's long spear could even reach him, he had already dodged to the side.

Liu Fei and Gong were different. Even though Liu Fei's martial arts were not as good as Gong Du's, Liu Tao's mind was more flexible. He already knew that Luo Yang's skills were far above his, so he did not choose to fight him head on. After dodging Luo Yang's attack, Liu Ping took a few steps back and ran behind the yellow-robed soldiers. He continued to command the yellow-robed soldiers to attack the city gates. When Luo Yang left, the pressure on the soldiers increased significantly. After being charged by the yellow-robed soldiers, more than ten soldiers immediately fell and the defensive line was forced to retreat a few steps.

"Damn it!" When Luo Yang saw this, he could not help but let out an angry shout. The long spear in his hand danced around his body, bringing up a bloody mist. He glanced at Liu Ping, who was still hiding behind the soldiers. All he could do was run back to the soldiers and help them defend. With Luo Yang's help, the retreating soldiers finally stopped.

"Dong dong dong dong —!"

Right at this moment, the sound of a battle drum suddenly rang out from outside the city. Hearing the sound of the battle drum, Luo Yang's expression changed again and again, becoming increasingly gloomy. On the other hand, Liu Ping and Gong Du, who was bandaged behind him, had a pleasantly surprised expression on their faces. Needless to say, the sound of the drum had long been prepared by the Yellow Mask Army outside the city.

It turned out that Zhang Mancheng and his army of yellow-robed men had quietly moved to the west gate. They were waiting for the gate to open so that they could lead their troops into the city. However, even after waiting for half a day, there was no reaction from the city gate. On the contrary, there were many flames and smoke that could be seen inside the city. Zhang Mancheng was sure that Zhao Hong's Yellow Gown army had started to make trouble, and the faint sounds of fighting could be heard from the city gate ahead. Needless to say, that was also because the Yellow Gown Army was obstructing the city gate. Although Zhang Mancheng was not good at fighting and marching, it did not mean that Zhang Mancheng was a fool. Right now, the troops guarding the west gate were definitely responding to the attacks from the city, and there were no troops on the city walls. Zhang Mancheng immediately gave the order and the entire army began to attack the west gate!
