At this moment, a big hand pressed on Wu Xingkui's shoulder. The heavy touch sobered the drunk man a little. He opened his eyes and looked at the tall figure beside him.
At some point, Huang Gu had finished eating the barbecue in front of him. Behind his tall figure was a sky full of stars. He just looked at the drunken Wu Xingkui, and the latter gradually sobered up.
"Tomorrow, I will take you to capture Wuxin City on the other side." After he said this, he stood up and disappeared into the bustling night.
"Tomorrow..." Wu Xingkui continued to pour the remaining wine in the pot into his mouth, and then drank it up in one gulp.
Then he threw down the wine jug, and with the help of the person next to him, he limped towards the resting place.
The next day, the weather was clear.
As soon as the light shone on the top of the city, an attack was launched from the river bank. First, a group of powerful extraordinary people walked across the water and nailed iron chains to the river bank.
Afterwards, the following soldiers quickly filled the iron chain with bamboo rafts and wooden boards, and the soldiers rushed to the other side like a tide with shields raised. Among the shouting black-clad warriors, the giant in the lead particularly attracted everyone's attention.
Huang Gu held up a huge shield with twelve stacked rivets on it, held it in front of him, and then strode directly through the river. His steps seemed unhurried, but they were extremely fast, so the soldiers on the city wall only had to shoot a few rounds before he saw him come ashore.
"Fire!" the defenders on the city wall shouted, and then one after another whistling rockets with long flame tails streaked through the air and shot towards the dark-skinned descendant of the god of thunder.
Successive explosions and flames rose on the shield, and the steel shield covered on the huge wooden board was blown away, but these could not stop the tall giant from moving forward except for making the shield shake slightly.
Soon he arrived under the city wall, and the soldiers on the top of the city wall were able to shoot at the fierce general over the top of the shield.
Bang! The sound of metal clashing and sparks echoed over his shoulder, but unfortunately, it still couldn't break through the defense. After practicing the highest stage, the descendant of Thunder God seemed to be exceptionally tough. His body seemed to be made of gold and iron, heavy and hard. His iron hands swung the shield and smashed it directly into the city wall. A shaking sound came from under his feet, and some of the soldiers on the top of the city wall almost lost their balance.
Then there were another series of extremely heavy bangs hitting the city gate. The loud noise could be heard throughout the city, making the people and soldiers in the city panic.
"Quick, send someone to stop him! Modao Team, go!"
A dozen heavily armored soldiers holding up their Mo Daos jumped down from the top of the city wall. The heavy and sharp Mo Daos slashed down, directly breaking the shields. In a cloud of dust, Mo Dao soldiers who were slightly smaller than the giant gathered around Huang Gu and attacked with their swords.
"clang--"
The Mo Dao chopped off Huang Gu's body, causing a long vibration of metal collision, and then left a white mark. Seeing that he was surrounded, Huang Gu turned around, untied the thick iron chain wrapped around his body, and swept across.
The Modao soldiers who were hit vomited blood even though they were wearing three layers of heavy armor. They took a few steps back, and the armor on their bodies collapsed layer by layer. They fell to the side and were drowned by the black scarf soldiers who followed like a tide.
The sound of firearms firing continued, but with these tall descendants of the Thunder God leading the front, the Black Scarf Army behind them was also particularly brave.
A huge electric current flashed in the sky with a crackling sound. The descendants of the Thunder God following Huang Gu stretched their palms forward, and thick electric currents flowed between their hands. Then they rushed out and shot towards the top of the city, sweeping across one by one, directly clearing out the ordinary soldiers on the top of the city. Various burnt smells were heard on the top of the city.
Without the interference of firearms, more ladders were quickly set up under the city wall, and soon with a loud bang, the city gate collapsed, and many Black Turban Army soldiers followed Huang Gu into the city.
The defenders in Wuxin City did not expect that they would lose the battle so quickly. Before their reinforcements could reach the city walls, the city gates and walls had already been lost. Even though they still had the elite Modao Team and Firearms Battalion, facing the Black Turban Army pouring into the city like a tide, the battle was already over.
Without a suitable battlefield and no place to hold, the Black Scarf Army, with a huge numerical advantage, shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, quickly surrounding and attacking the scattered soldiers in the city who had not yet gathered.
"It's over." The captain stood on the city wall and looked at the chaotic scene below with a low voice.
"Raise the flag and tell them we surrender. We only hope they will treat the people in the city well."
"Sir!" The general beside him was excited and puzzled.
Although the defense of the city failed, there is still room for resistance. What if reinforcements arrive?
"No need to insist any longer. This Plantagenet dynasty, alas..."
"It's over, let it be." Although the captain wanted to say something, he finally shook his head.
The flags on the city walls were slowly lowered. At noon, the shouting and screaming in the city gradually subsided. As the sun set in the afternoon, it finally quieted down and stability returned.
Teams of black scarf soldiers were patrolling the streets, and Wu Xingkui and the others slowly walked into the government hall in the city.
"Our army has finally captured a city, and Lord Huanggu has made an indelible contribution." After everyone calmed down, they turned to look at the big man who was slowly walking into the hall entrance. There was still blood and dust on his body, and a half-broken Mo Dao was stuck in his chest, but judging by his steady steps, he didn't seem to be greatly affected.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." His expression remained unchanged, and his eyes slowly swept over the crowd. The terrifying aura on his body had not yet completely dissipated.
"Even though we have captured the city, it still needs to be governed in the future. I don't know how to do it, but Wu Xingkui can." His words were straightforward, as if he was stating a fact.
After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the side of the hall, where they saw the young man in black stroking the vermilion pillar.
Everyone looked at each other, then bowed together.
"Master Wu, please take your seat." The voices were loud and unanimous, echoing in the empty hall.
Although he didn't look back, the slight trembling of his fingers betrayed Wu Xingkui's excitement. He withdrew his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and then turned around and opened them.
"I will not let you down." He also bent down and saluted the people in front of him.
