Chapter 135 Impregnable! (2/2)
The enemies are continuously knocked down but they, just like ants, keep charging forward, one of whom stepping into the breach as another falls.
It looks like they are not afraid of death.
The ladders are placed against the wall. The soldiers try to push over the ladders as hard as they can. Or they will directly throw the big rocks down.
However, such a way of guarding the city cannot last for long. Both the arrows and big rocks are consumable. Very soon they are almost used up.
Qin Yan watches what’s happening in front of him and says slowly, “Song Yuan, Zhao Cheng, transmit my order—open the gate and attack!”
“Yes, sir!”
Gao Ge looks at Qin Yan, whose face is so determined. He suddenly begins to admire this man.
It is not merely because of his fearlessness for death but also due to his ability to stabilize the morale.
Even they are doomed to sacrifice, the 3,000 soldiers won’t even frown.
When the gate is opened, Qin Yan is riding a tall horse with a long sword in his hand.
He shouts loudly and takes the initiative to strike attack on his horse along with his cavalrymen.
Then, the infantry goes forward to strike attack together.
This is fighting with cold steel.
Qin Yan’s soldiers are miserably few but they are unusually fierce. Even in the disadvantaged circumstance, they can still try their best to charge forward.
It is mainly because Qin Yan is awfully capable, who can draw blood with every strike just like a knife through butter. His capability cannot be underestimated. As a saying goes, there are no weak troops under a strong general. Qin Yan is so strong that even some of his soldiers who are relatively weaker will be affected and go forward fearlessly.
However, time passes by.
Qin Yan’s men start to become fewer and fewer.
Only a few hundred soldiers are left out of 3,000.
It looks rather miserable but actually it is not.
The 20,000 enemies may be reduced by a half now.
Looking at Qin Yan and the 1,000 soldiers behind him, the 10,000 enemies appear rather frightened.
This is an army of fierce fighters.
“All take my order—kill without mercy!”
Qin Yan raises his long sword and shouts.
“Yes, sir!”
Gao Ge doesn’t speak or tease. How come Qin Yan is so confident?
Although Qin Yan and his soldiers are capable, they gradually become exhausted after fighting for a long time.
They are human beings.
Hence, they must feel tired after such a long-lasting battle.
Many of the soldiers die of exhaustion here.
When hundreds of soldiers charge forward again, the 10,000 enemies also come over.
Qin Yan’s men are reducing.
From a few hundred to one hundred.
From one hundred to tens of.
Till the end, he has only a few people with him.
These people try their best to protect Qin Yan from any harm.
A big knife of the enemy cuts off one leg of Qin Yan’s horse. Qin Yan jumps up and lands upon the man with the long sword. He knocks down the opponent with his weight and inertia, and then raises his long sword to cut off the opponent’s head.
“The Ming Dynasty is impregnable!” Qin Yan stands up and shouts.
“The Ming Dynasty is impregnable!” The several men behind him also shout.
There are only a few of them but they sound like thousands of people.
A group of enemies crowd around.
In the end, only Qin Yan is left.
He is still waving his sword and he looks like tireless.
Qin Yan doesn’t stop completely until it gets dark.
His body is full of wounds.
His armor has been broken.
He has blood all over his body and his flesh is exposed.
His hair is messy and his helmet is gone.
