C16 City-breaking
Inside the arched cave at the city gate, Luo Yang's face was filled with bitterness as he heard the sounds of fighting and war drums coming from outside the city. Right now, the troops defending the west gate were all trapped here. Not a single soldier could be seen standing on top of the city wall. Although the western part of the city also had a wooden frame installed on top of it, with no one guarding it, it was useless!
When he thought about how Nanyang City, which he had bitterly guarded for nearly two months, had been breached overnight, Luo Yang's heart was filled with disappointment. He did not even have the courage to continue fighting. At this time, Liu Ping suddenly stopped his soldiers' attacks. He looked at Luo Yang and the other officers and soldiers in front of him and said loudly, "That general! Currently, Nanyang City is destined to be occupied by our Yellow Gathered Soldiers! Why do you have to work so hard for this rotten imperial court! Why don't you just surrender! With your skills, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in our Yellow Gown Army! "
Seeing that the other party had stopped his attack, Luo Yang also slowly withdrew the spear in his hands. He turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him and said with a bitter smile, "You all heard the other party's words, right? If you want to surrender and save your lives, you can still do it! You don't have to die with me! " Luo Yang had long since stopped thinking about joining the yellow-robed soldiers. Although he wanted to protect his own life, as a soldier, whether it was in the later generations or now, Luo Yang still had his own principles.
Those officers and soldiers looked at each other. However, not a single one of them dropped the weapons in their hands. Every single one of their faces was filled with an unswerving determination. One of the soldiers stepped forward and said to Luo Yang, "Sir!" We are all great men that have stepped on the ground and soared into the sky! How could he be willing to join that bandit's army for the sake of his own life? Lord, don't underestimate us! I am willing to participate in this final battle with Master! "
"We are willing to participate in the final battle with sire!" The other soldiers also shouted loudly. Many of them had wounds on their bodies, but at this moment, it was as if they weren't injured at all. They straightened their backs and held their heads high, not fearing the impending death at all.
"Alright!" Luo Yang couldn't help but be moved by these hot-blooded men. He immediately shouted out loud, and his body seemed to once again be brimming with energy. Immediately, he raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at Liu Ping and the others. With a furious gaze, he shouted: "Did the thief hear that? How could I, a good man, be willing to submit to a thief like you? Don't even think about it! To take our lives! Come and take it! "
Liu Ping's face darkened. He didn't want to fight with these soldiers who were like turtles in a jar in front of him right now. Now that victory was in sight, as long as they waited for the army outside the city to attack, the soldiers before them would naturally be able to easily take them down. However, they never expected that the soldiers who were about to lose their fighting spirit would have such high morale. If the enemies continued like this, perhaps they would let the soldiers escape their encirclement.
Immediately, Liu Tao shouted coldly: "You refuse a toast and refuse a forfeit! Then don't blame me for not showing mercy! Brothers! Kill! " As he spoke, he commanded the yellow-robed soldiers to charge forward.
At the same time, Luo Yang also broke down and shouted at the soldiers behind him, "Soldiers! Charge over! Killing enough! Kill two and we'll earn it! " After shouting, Luo Yang took the lead and charged into the formation of the yellow-robed army. As for the remaining soldiers, they seemed to have been shocked by Luo Yang's words. They all had scarlet eyes and growled like wild beasts. Instead, they rushed towards the yellow-robed soldiers.
"Tai!" Luo Yang, who had already charged into the formation of the yellow-robed army, shot out a thunderous sound from his tongue. The long spear in his hand transformed into countless spear shadows, directly thrusting towards the surrounding enemy troops. Screams could be heard as six soldiers of the Yellow Gown Army fell to Luo Yang's guns.
As if they were scared by Luo Yang's ferocity, these elite yellow-robed soldiers all took a few steps back, creating an opportunity for those soldiers. The soldiers, who originally only had more than fifty people left, swarmed out of the archway like a swarm of bees and pressed down the two hundred or so yellow-robed soldiers. Even the yellow-robed soldiers did not have the strength to fight back!
After losing more than thirty Yellow Gathered Soldiers consecutively, Liu Ping finally recovered from the shock caused by Luo Yang. He hurriedly shouted, "Steady! Steady! Don't panic! Don't panic! " Liu Ping raised the spear in his hand as he shouted. With a single spear strike, he knocked down an officer who had rushed in front of him.
However, what Liu Ping did not expect was that the soldier he stabbed to the ground did not care that the spearhead had already sunk into his stomach. Instead, he struggled to get up from the ground. After several unsuccessful attempts, the soldier simply threw the saber in his hand at Liu Ping's head. It seemed that even if he were to die, he would drag Liu Ping down with him!
Although Liu Ping was not hit by the incoming saber, he was still covered in cold sweat. These soldiers did not care about life or death anymore. Although the combat strength displayed by these soldiers was not the strongest, their attacks were shocking. No wonder, even though the yellow-robed soldiers had the advantage in numbers, they were still unable to withstand the attacks from these soldiers.
After Liu Ping's repeated shouts and Gong Du's long blade with his bandaged wound at the back, the two of them worked together to finally stop the yellow-robed soldiers from retreating and start a steady fight against the soldiers' assault. However, after that crazy rush just now, the yellow-robed soldiers had lost half of their troops. Now, they only had less than a hundred people. On the other side, although the soldiers had lost more than ten people, because their morale was high, they started to fight back fiercely under Luo Yang's lead.
"Gong Du! "We'll join hands and kill that general!" Liu Tao's discernment ability could be considered to be extremely sharp. Immediately, he could tell that these soldiers were ferocious. Most importantly, they had relied on Luo Yang. At this moment, Luo Yang was at the forefront of the army. Most of the soldiers that had died in the battle had died under his spear. If he wanted to stop the counterattack, he had to defeat Luo Yang first!
Gong Du did not hesitate. Although the wound on his arm still faintly hurt, he took the lead and attacked Luo Yang. Immediately after, Liu Ping also raised his spear and followed closely behind Gong Du, thrusting out towards Luo Yang.
Although Luo Yang's eyes were red from killing, it did not mean that he had lost all reason. When Gong Du slashed out that spear, it was already discovered by Luo Yang. Immediately, Luo Yang let out a cold snort and forcefully flicked the spear in his hand onto the ground. His entire body flew up, dodging Gong Du's large blade in the air, and with a kick, he kicked Gong Du's face. Gong didn't even have the time to shout before he was sent flying by the kick, crashing into the several yellow-robed soldiers behind him.
Seeing this, Liu Tao did not bother helping Gong Du. Taking advantage that Luo Yang was currently powerless in the air, he rushed forward and stabbed at Luo Yang's chest. Luo Yang looked at Liu Ping's long spear thrusting towards him. Although his body was unable to dodge in the air, that did not mean that he was incapable of dealing with it. Luo Yang held the long spear in his right hand and waved it fiercely. The two long spears hit each other in the air and forcefully deflected Liu Ping's long spear.
After landing on the ground, Luo Yang immediately rushed towards Liu Ping. Holding the spear in his hand to his chest, he aimed for Liu Ping's throat. Even though he hadn't been stabbed yet, his entire body was ice-cold from the killing intent in Luo Yang's eyes. He could only force himself to lie down on the ground and roll a few rounds before pathetically escaping Luo Yang's attack range.
At this time, several soldiers of the Yellow Gown Army also hurriedly went forward to block Luo Yang's continuous pursuit of Liu Fei. Otherwise, Liu Ping would have been lying on the ground and wouldn't have been able to dodge Luo Yang's next killing move. Of course, it was impossible for the few yellow-robed soldiers to stop Luo Yang, whose eyes were already bloodshot from killing, to do so. However, it did buy Liu Ping some time to escape. Taking advantage of the short amount of time, Liu Ping got up from the ground and stood beside Gong Du who had just rushed over. The two of them looked at Luo Yang with eyes full of shock.
They had already known that this officer's martial arts was extraordinary, but they had not expected it to be this powerful. The two of them could be considered extraordinary in the Yellow Gown Army, but together, they were not Luo Yang's match! It was a pity that such a fierce general was actually the officer's Eagle Dog! Liu Ping immediately shouted to the surrounding yellow-robed soldiers, "Kill that person! The commander in chief will reward you handsomely! "
Although these elite soldiers of the Yellow Gown Army were fanatical believers of Zhang Jiao, they had only joined the army because they believed in Zhang Jiao's safety. However, this did not affect their yearning for money and power. Liu Fei's words "heavily rewarded" had immediately provoked these soldiers. They abandoned their opponents and rushed towards Luo Yang to kill him. The soldiers were only stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly, "Don't even think of harming the lord!" One by one, they risked their lives to block the incoming attack.
Luo Yang, on the other hand, wasn't the slightest bit afraid of the surrounding enemies. The long spear in his hand transformed into specks of starlight in the dark night, accurately piercing the yellow-robed soldiers that wanted to approach him. Liu Fei and Gong Du naturally wouldn't just watch Luo Yang slaughter his men like this. When Luo Yang was entangled, they would also rush forward and work together with their men. They must defeat Luo Yang! For a time, a chaotic fight started around Luo Yang in the vicinity of the city gate.
It was at this time that the army of the Yellow Gown Army had climbed up from above the city gates. Nanyang City had been breached!
