"kill!!!"
Shouts of battle mingled with the thunderous sound of horses' hooves in Jin Zhao's ears. He knew that the Jin brothers, Jin Tai and Jin Yuan, were leading their troops out of the city to engage in direct combat deep into enemy territory.
The rebels were too numerous and skilled in battle, making it far more difficult to confront them head-on than to fight a battle on the city walls.
Jin Zhao understood that this was a tactic that could be described as a certain death.
Being killed in the city or being killed in battle seems to make little difference.
It's just a matter of sooner or later.
But if...
If the two brothers could indeed hold back the rebels, and then the General Zhenguo could lead his elite troops in a surprise attack, they might actually be able to carry out the decapitation plan amidst the chaos.
However, regardless of the circumstances, many, many people will surely die in this battle today.
How many of the brothers who swore brotherhood not long ago are still alive?
He desperately wanted to stand up and lean on the battlements to see what was happening outside, but he couldn't manage it no matter how hard he tried; it was as if all his strength had been drained away.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
At that moment, the sound of blood dripping down the strip of cloth filled his ears.
He looked down and saw a pool of blood beneath him.
The remaining hand hung limply on the ground, its fingertips touching cold, sticky blood.
And the temperature of my fingers, like the blood, had turned icy cold.
Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Jin Zhao couldn't even lift his head, but his pale lips trembled slightly as he murmured:
"Brother, this is the best I can do."
"I hope you... can kill the traitor and then escape unscathed..."
"When your grand ambitions are fulfilled, don't forget me, Jin Zhao..."
"I truly fought to the very end..."
Before he could finish his last sentence, a wave of intense fatigue washed over him, and the dense darkness seemed to rush towards him like a fog.
There was no pain, no discomfort, just an irresistible drowsiness that swept over my entire body.
So Kim Jo closed his eyes, and his head drooped limply.
"Tick-tock".
"Tick-tock".
The blood seeping from the cloth strips was still dripping.
A drop of blood fell to the ground, landing on the still-wet pool of blood, merging into it, and creating a very shallow, almost invisible ripple on the surface of the blood.
The pool of blood remained unchanged despite the addition of those few drops of blood.
And this is exactly what the cavalry led by the brothers Jin Tai and Jin Yuan, who are charging into the midst of thousands of troops, are like at this moment.
If this cavalry force that suddenly appeared was like a mountain torrent, it was filled with unstoppable momentum and a willingness to sacrifice everything.
And so, with their fearless spirit, they indeed charged in—
The vast ocean.
——
"Good, good, good! You've come at the right time!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A wild laugh echoed across the battlefield.
The wind was blowing fiercely, making the flowered robe worn by the person laughing rustle loudly.
And the warhorse beneath him seemed to be rising with the wind.
Amidst the black torrent of armored vehicles, this splash of crimson stood out so conspicuously that everyone had to acknowledge its presence.
Wherever the crimson figure passed, men and horses fell to the ground. With just one swing of the halberd, several people were thrown from their horses and crashed heavily to the ground.
The painful groans had barely escaped the cavalrymen's mouths when their iron hooves had already trampled over their bodies.
"This is a fine horse, truly exceptional."
"He really managed to pull off the whole thing all by himself," Dian Wei said with envy beside Qin Ze.
Qin Ze remained calm, coldly watching the cavalry charging out of the city.
After a few breaths, he said coldly:
"Coming out of the city to fight, are they brave enough to kill me, or are they just throwing their lives away?"
Dian Wei shook his head. "My lord, no one wants to die. I think they're just daydreaming. Do they really think they can kill their way to your side?"
As he said this, he pointed his halberd forward:
"Ahead, there are Lü Bu, Gao Shun, Li Jing, Zhang Liao, and..."
He sheathed his halberd and continued, "Anyway, there are still a lot of people here."
"Besides, there's me and Xu Zhu too." He turned to look at Xu Zhu, whose face was ashen and who remained silent, only gripping the knife tightly in his hand.
Seeing that Xu Chu and Qin Ze remained silent, Dian Wei frowned and said:
What were they thinking?
——
"Traitor, if you have the guts, fight us and see who prevails!!!"
Among the cavalry charging out of the city, the leader, Jin Tai, roared angrily, holding a long spear in his hand, his face full of rage.
"kill!!"
With a roar, the cavalrymen spurred their horses and galloped forward.
"What's the point of hiding in the back! You want to conquer Jinling, don't you? Come on, let's fight!"
On the other side, Jin Yuan, holding a long sword, was also roaring.
But before him was a huge horde of enemy troops, who were also rushing forward.
Sweat beaded on Jin Yuan's temples. The weapons on the city wall did not seem to have caused much casualties to the rebels, who still had a large force.
This means that what they are about to do is incredibly difficult.
But at this point, there is no room for anyone to back down.
Even if it means facing certain death, they will create an opportunity for the General of the Nation to enter the arena, in order to lure the rebels!
At that moment, a loud shout came from ahead:
"You dare to fight back instead of surrendering the city? Don't you know your fate is sealed!"
"The Prince's uprising is what everyone hopes for and what the people want!"
