Chapter 528 One Force Breaks All Laws
While Lin Changning was single-handedly chasing the enemy troops all over the place, Li Mingxiu also led his men up the city wall from the side. The soldiers of the Right Guard, who had been practicing climbing and rock climbing, moved up the rope like nimble monkeys.
Li Mingxiu quickly climbed up the side of the city wall and, before he could even rest, he found himself staring at a soldier from the imperial court.
Before the soldiers could react, Li Mingxiu slashed with his sword. A group of guards beside Li Mingxiu also climbed onto the city wall and dealt with the people on the wall. Before dying, a centurion shouted to the people on the other side of the city wall.
"Quickly report to the commander! The rebels have stormed the east gate tower!!!"
Old Ma drew his bow and shot an arrow at the shouting centurion. The sound of the arrow piercing flesh was heard, and the next moment, the shouting centurion lay dead on the ground with his eyes wide open.
As soon as Lao Zhou climbed up, he saw a soldier behind Lao Ma preparing to ambush him. Startled, he slashed at him with his sword.
Hearing a scream behind him, Old Ma instinctively turned around and slashed. After the man fell, he saw Old Zhou behind the soldier, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thanked him with a pounding heart.
"Thanks, Lao Zhou!"
Old Zhou swiftly chopped down a government soldier beside him: "Concentrate now, or you'll lose your life."
The two men talked as they charged forward back to back. Old Zhang trudged up the city wall, flipped over, and landed directly on the corpse of a court official.
"My goodness, I'm exhausted."
He was usually the worst at rock climbing, and Lin Changning had often tormented him. Today, when Lin Changning ambushed him while climbing the city wall, Lin Changning nearly killed him.
Old Zhang stood up from the ground, leaning on his knife. Two guards stood closely beside him. After catching his breath, Old Zhang saw Old Ma and Old Zhou, who had followed their young master and charged forward. After catching his breath again, he grabbed his knife and rushed forward.
"Brothers!!! Kill!!!"
People were being cleared off the city walls by Li Mingxiu and his men. When Commander Wu received the news, his face darkened, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."
"Commander Huang, take your men and go reinforce the east flank! Go now!"
After receiving the order, the centurion beside him quickly led a group of men to support the east side, but the eastern city wall had already been almost completely occupied by Li Mingxiu and his men.
Seeing that Li Mingxiu and his men had captured the eastern city wall, Lin Changning was overjoyed and quickly led Wei Shao and the others back to reinforce it. Dozens of siege ladders were quickly erected on the eastern city wall.
Lin Changning and Wei Shao dismounted first, with knives in their mouths, and quickly climbed upwards. Behind them, the cavalry and tribesmen followed suit, quickly climbing up the safe area.
Lin Changning flipped onto the city gate tower, gripped his long sword, and led his men to charge forward. Li Mingxiu and Lao Ma, who were at the forefront, withstood the pressure and actually managed to hold off the imperial soldiers who were providing support on the city gate tower on the east side of the city tower.
Lin Changning shouted, and a steady stream of soldiers rushed forward with her. Lin Changning jogged to Li Mingxiu's side, and the two groups that were originally in a stalemate...
Upon seeing Lin Changning's face, many soldiers were startled and involuntarily began to retreat. After Lin Changning killed several people with a few slashes, the morale of the army collapsed.
The men at the front dropped their knives and ran away.
"Quickly report to the commander! That demon star is attacking!! Go now!"
Li Mingxiu paused, his hand still holding the sword. He looked at Lin Changning, who had fought his way through Wei Shao, with disbelief. The soldiers in front of him had just been desperately trying to break through their defenses, but now they were running away as soon as they saw Lin Changning?
Lin Changning slashed down one man, stepped on his corpse, rolled on the spot to dodge another man's knife, slashed down another man, dodged another knife to the side, and then came face to face with Huang Baihu.
Huang Baihu's eyes widened when he saw Lin Changning's face. The next moment, he slashed at Lin Changning with his knife. Lin Changning dodged Huang Baihu's knife to the side and was about to strike back.
Then they saw Huang Baihu turn around and run away.
Lin Changning: ? ? ?
No, what do you mean? Are you kidding me?
Huang Baihu was terrified when he saw Lin Changning. This kid had become quite famous recently. If he hadn't run away quickly last time, he and his own commander would have been killed by this guy.
It's not something to laugh at, but on the fourth day of the battle, he was stubborn and fought alongside his own commander against Lin Changning. In one exchange, Lin Changning chopped him off his horse. As soon as he mounted his horse, he saw his own commander beheaded.
Honestly, the impact was tremendous. If I hadn't run fast enough, I probably would be a corpse by now.
With Huang Baihu gone, the remaining imperial soldiers naturally didn't linger. The area above the city wall was just like the area below. Wherever Lin Changning passed, it was like a vacuum, with countless imperial soldiers rushing to the other side.
Commander Wu, who was still trying to put up a fight, frowned as he listened to the chaos on the city gate tower and looked to the east. He saw the soldiers he had just sent rushing towards him as if they were being chased by hungry wolves.
A look of confusion flashed in his eyes, his brow furrowed, and then his expression darkened: "Tell them to go back! Anyone who retreats in the face of battle will be executed without mercy!!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a man came running towards Commander Wu, yelling, "Commander! Commander! That demon star is attacking!! We can't stop him, we can't stop him at all!!"
Commander Wu immediately knew who his soldiers were talking about. His brows furrowed, and he glanced at a chiliarch beside him: "Keep an eye on this side. I'll take my men over there."
After saying that, he led his personal guards and quickly headed to the east to provide support. The soldiers, who had been filled with anxiety and fear, felt a little calmer when they saw their commander coming.
After Commander Wu gave the order to retreat and kill without mercy, they gritted their teeth and charged towards Lin Changning's direction again.
Commander Wu taking the lead this time seemed to give the soldiers a lot of confidence. Commander Wu quickly rushed towards Lin Changning and Wei Shao at the front.
Lin Changning had sparred with the man twice, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. He knew this man; he was the culprit who had prevented them from taking Mengjin, and he was indeed quite skilled in defending the city.
Thinking of this, Lin Changning ground his back teeth and slashed horizontally at Commander Wu. Commander Wu raised his sword to block, but was knocked back several steps by the force of Lin Changning's swing.
The blade hummed from the recoil of Lin Changning's strike, and Commander Wu's hand trembled slightly as he stared at Lin Changning with cold eyes: "I know you, the son-in-law of the King of Chu."
Lin Changning disliked wasting words with people. Her phoenix eyes flashed with indifference as she slashed at Commander Wu several times in succession.
"You talk too much nonsense!"
Commander Wu received several blows from Lin Changning, his palms and arms aching slightly. "Your swordsmanship is quite good. If you can abandon your evil ways and serve His Majesty, I will recommend you for the position of commander!"
Lin Changning felt that the commander opposite him was talking too much, so he coldly slashed at him several more times. Commander Wu was forced to retreat step by step, knowing that he was no match for the young general in front of him, so he tried to buy some time with words.
I didn't expect the young player on the other side to make such a clean move.
"What kind of swordsmanship is that?"
Lin Changning spun around and delivered a flying kick to Commander Wu's chest, sending him flying several meters away and crashing into a group of soldiers behind him.
Commander Wu lay on the ground clutching his chest, the pain so intense he could barely speak.
Lin Changning stood on the city wall, coldly watching Commander Wu fall to the ground: "This is called brute force breaking all laws!"
