Upon hearing this, Lord Changguo paused and said coldly, "Raocheng is facing the main force of Qin. How can we spare troops to support it? We should quickly send people to transfer soldiers to the cities in the rear."

Lingshou City has 80,000 soldiers, far exceeding the 3,000 Black Dragon Armor Army. Even a single spit from each of them could drown those 3,000 men.

Nevertheless, they felt that asking for help was a very normal thing. The Black Dragon Armored Army had a great reputation, and anyone who underestimated them was saved by them. Who would dare to underestimate these three thousand people?

"Your subordinate obeys!" The lieutenant turned and left the ranks to arrange for reinforcements.

At this moment, Lingshou City was plunged into chaos.

When Lord Changguo arrived with his generals and soldiers to quell the panic, the chaos subsided, and the soldiers began to move in an orderly fashion, deploying their formations and launching a counterattack against the sudden Black Dragon Armored Army.

The defenders on the city wall gripped their spears tightly, while the archers drew their bows, the arrows gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Outside the city gate, the battering ram was raised high and slammed into the gate with a deafening crash. The gate trembled and dust billowed down.

"Release the arrows!" Lord Changguo roared, raising his hand.

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, the arrows flew straight towards the bottom of the city wall, the whooshing sound sending chills down one's spine.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal.

Due to construction issues, arrows rarely landed on the Qin army's heads, so this arrow rain yielded very little; the shields of the Black Dragon Armored Army didn't even leave a mark.

Lord Changguo, perched atop the city wall, dared not peek out to investigate, but repeatedly ordered the arrows to be fired. Round after round of arrows rained down, yet could not halt the Black Dragon Armored Army's assault on the city gate.

With deafening roars, the siege hammer repeatedly pounded the city gate until it finally succumbed to the pressure, its slabs collapsing and huge cracks spreading outwards.

With another blow, the city gate collapsed with a crash, dust flew everywhere, and the entire city gate was instantly reduced to ruins.

"Charge!" At the command of the Qin general, the Black Dragon Armored Army, wielding weapons and brimming with murderous intent, surged into the city like a tidal wave.

The sounds of armor clashing and horses' hooves pounding the cobblestones echoed throughout every inch of Lingshou City.

"The city gate...the city gate has been breached!"

"They've broken in! Quick... quick! Stop them! We absolutely cannot let them into the city!"

The orderly garrison on the city wall immediately fell into chaos. Faced with the Black Dragon Armored Army, which was like a raging flood, their morale collapsed instantly.

Changguo Jun's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he hurriedly shouted, "Archers, continue to hold the city wall, change from scattering to aiming, and shoot down the Qin soldiers. The rest of you, quickly go down the city wall to meet the enemy and provide support."

Inside the city, the Black Dragon Armored Army advanced steadily and unstoppably, defying the desperate attacks of the Yan army, slowly advancing into the city with complete composure, as if the resistance of the Yan army was insignificant.

"Bring me my halberd!" The wicked man jumped off his warhorse, took the halberd from the halberd-wielding warrior, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"die!"

With a burst of speed, the wicked man leaped over the front ranks like a cannonball and charged into the Yan army's battle formation. His halberd swung like the wind, its blade tearing through the air, slicing through the blood-red arcs of the battlefield.

With each swing of the halberd, swathes of Yan soldiers fell, blood gushing forth, flesh flying everywhere—the carnage had officially begun.

"kill!"

The Black Dragon Armored Army soldiers followed closely behind, their sharp blades slicing through enemy armor and tearing limbs apart. The streets of Lingshou City were instantly stained red with blood, screams echoed everywhere, and the air was filled with the stench of rust.

Changguo Jun stood atop the city wall, his face ashen, watching as the city gates were breached and his meticulously constructed defenses crumbled one by one. His eyes were as sharp as blades, yet he could not alter the course of the battle.

"Quickly! Organize a counterattack! Stabilize the situation!" Lord Changguo gritted his teeth, directing his soldiers to try to organize a counterattack.

However, the situation was already irreversible, and the Black Dragon Armored Army broke through the city gate blockade in an instant and officially entered the city.

"Halt!" A lieutenant general leaped into the enemy ranks, wielding his spear with great force and imposing manner, attempting to boost the morale of his soldiers with his own martial prowess.

However, his skills were nothing but fancy moves to the Black Dragon Armor Army. Several heavily armored soldiers quickly surrounded him.

"thump!"

The lieutenant thrust his spear with all his might, but was kicked away by a soldier of the Black Dragon Armor Army. Then, a sword pierced his heart, and blood sprayed onto the ground.

"All show and no substance, just empty words!" The Black Dragon Armored Army soldier spat at the corpse lying in a pool of blood with a disdainful look on his face.

The wicked man wielded his halberd like a windmill, clearing a path at the forefront and tearing apart the Yan army's paper-thin battle formation. The soldiers behind him then widened the gap to prevent the Yan army from regrouping.

The residents of Lingshou City were in a panic and fled in all directions.

However, the Qin army had no intention of paying attention to them. Acting on the previous orders of the evil man, they formed groups of ten, brandishing their swords and weapons, and frantically slaughtered the Yan soldiers in armor. Shouts of killing rose from all over the city, making it as cruel as a living hell.

The wicked man's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's. He sheathed his halberd and stood still, exhaling a breath of stale air. He knew that the defensive forces within Lingshou City had collapsed.

"Kill everyone!" the wicked man commanded coldly.

As soon as the order was given, the Black Dragon Armored Army's slaughter became even more ferocious. The streets and alleys were littered with the marks of battle. Soldiers in black iron armor mercilessly swung their blades, the screams of the enemy and the clang of swords mingling together to create a symphony of death.

Lord Changguo was pale, a deep sense of regret and helplessness welling up within him. The city he had once thought was strong enough had now become a playground for the enemy to roam freely.

The defenses of Lingshou City were as fragile as paper in the face of the Qin's elite cavalry. Changguo Jun and his soldiers felt a deep sense of despair in the face of this.

"Lord Changguo, let's retreat! Continuing to fight is pointless!" The lieutenant beside him had bloodshot eyes. Even though he was unwilling, preserving his life was the most important thing right now.

Lord Changguo remained silent, his eyes fixed on the fighting within the city. Finally, he closed his eyes reluctantly and nodded.

With his permission, the lieutenant immediately roared, "Order the retreat! Retreat towards Rao City! Send men to escort Lord Changguo ahead, we'll cover the rear!"

The moment the order was given, hundreds of guards surrounding the city immediately led Lord Changguo down the city wall and out through the temporarily peaceful south gate, disappearing into the night.

However, just as they were preparing to retreat, a troop of Black Dragon Armored Cavalry appeared out of nowhere, emerging from the shadows of the mountains and blocking their retreat.

Erniu coldly stared at the group of defeated soldiers and sneered, "Gentlemen, where are you headed?" he said in a low voice, lightly brandishing his long sword.
