C124 (1/2)

Finally, the efforts of the soldiers and officials paid off. After paying a huge price, the first batch of soldiers charged up the city wall. The first one to rush up was a big man, followed by a few, dozens of soldiers jumping up onto the city walls. Then, over a hundred of them jumped over the wall stamping s, and clashed with the xanthopanax on the city walls.

This was the first time in a few months that the Imperial army had attacked the walls of a Wan City city.

A series of continuous miserable howls resounded at the top of the city wall. The sounds of slaughter soared to the sky. Under the blazing sun, the swords and spears were dancing in the air, emitting a cold glow. Wang Erwa was as though he had gone mad, his eyes completely bloodshot. He brandished his big blade, without any form of strategy or trick, he fought with his life on the line, ignoring everything else, and hacked forward. He did not hesitate to fight with his life, only seeking one blade to kill his enemy.

”Kill …”

Liu Shitou's long spear pierced into the body of one of the soldiers, but he did not have the time to pull it out. Facing the army rushing towards him, Liu Shitou was like a mad dog, and with an unknown source of energy, he grabbed onto the legs of the soldier he stabbed, and swung through the air. In an instant, he knocked over a few of the soldiers who were charging at him, and then threw them outside the city.

”Kill …”

Just as the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves's morale was about to collapse, Qin Ming and Qin Liang shouted loudly. They all waved their double knife and joined the battle, and behind them, were the bandits from Qin Village. These fellows were all big machetes, and the armor they were wearing just now made them the elite of xanthopanax, as well as a group of presumptuous people. Everywhere they passed, blood flowed like a river, and even the xanthopanax soldiers who were in their way did not manage to escape.

”Kill! Kill all the soldiers!”

Qin Ming and Qin Liang shouted together, their eyes filled with killing intent and their furious expressions became extremely sinister. Their thick and strong arms swung with heavy steel blades, and wherever the blade light passed, heads would fly off the city wall, and blood would splash out in the air, giving off patches of red light under the glaring sunlight.

He raised his blade, slashed down, then raised it again, and slashed again. His arms were like wheels as they were chopped down in turns. There was no blade technique, nor was there any formation, only a bloody slaughter. It was all so simple, like a fixed process, repeating itself over and over.

”Kill …”

Sun Zhong, Sun Xia, Zhao Hong, Jiang Tai, and Hou Shan finally regained their senses from the nightmarish sight. They knew better than the soldiers that if the soldiers took over the city walls, no one would be able to leave the city alive. Rather than letting the officials and the army catch him alive and behead him, it was better to fight with their lives on the line.

At the same time, they were also shaken by the ruthlessness of the brothers Qin Ming and Qin Liang, as well as their more than two thousand blood-thirsty bandits. Those fellows had even killed xanthopanax soldiers who were blocking their path, simply inhuman.

No one bothered to look at Zhang Mancheng anymore. Only the roars of Qin Ming and Qin Liang could be heard on the wall, as if the two brothers were the masters of this Wan City. Seeing the soldiers climb up the city wall, Qin Ming and Qin Liang only had a strong killing intent. They howled and waved their double knife to kill the soldiers who escaped, forcing them to rush up to the top.

”Retreat, slash!”

Qin Liang screamed hysterically. The xanthopanax soldiers that were forced to rush up the stairs were doing their utmost to save them from their doom as more than a thousand ladders of clouds continued to climb upwards. Soon after, they began to tear at each other even more intensely.

Both sides surged towards the top of the city wall like floodwaters, causing the wall to be filled with people, making it impossible for them to climb up, while the xanthopanax s on both sides squeezed forward with all their might, causing the soldiers on both sides to continuously fall down the city wall.

The intense battle lasted for an hour because the number of soldiers who could climb the city walls was too small. If they weren't killed, they would be pushed down the city wall. No one was spared. The corpses of the dead officials were thrown down from the walls by the xanthopanax, smashing onto Cao Cao's heart one after another.

When the sun started to set in the west, the people outside North Gate gradually quieted down. The soldiers carried the corpses away and slowly retreated. The xanthopanax on the city wall also carried the casualties away. The soldiers who were guarding the city wall were so tired that they sat down to catch their breath.

”Clank, clank, clank …”

The retreat gongs finally sounded, and the soldiers quietly retreated like a receding tide. The men who supported them carried their brothers and retreated towards their own formation. The passion he had felt at the beginning was gone, leaving behind only a few deep sighs.

Whether it was the officials or the xanthopanax, they needed time to lick their wounds. On top of and below the city wall, there was blood everywhere, along with broken limbs and corpses lying all over the ground. The dense smell of blood filled the air in the wilderness.

Qin Ming, Qin Liang left with their more than two thousand bandits. They were rejoicing for themselves. From today onwards, they finally understood that if they were to fight in the future, they would be killed by the soldiers or by these bandits.

”General Zhao Hong, the other generals want to invite you to discuss some important matters.”
