Chapter 198: Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky? Shouchun City Falls
"If you have that extra energy, you might as well go check the drawbridge mechanism. This is Shouchun's defense. If the iron chain breaks, Shouchun will lose its defense. Can you afford it?"
Wen Ziduan hit the soldier's helmet, scolded him away with a cold face, and also said this to Ling Buyi.
Others may not be able to recognize Wen Ziduan's voice, but Ling Buyi, who was lying in the car, moved his ears and immediately understood that Wen Ziduan had already sneaked in here and was ready to cooperate with him from inside and outside to quickly capture the Shouchun rebels.
He knew exactly that he would have to lie in the middle of the food cart to enter the city. He thought it was He Zhaojun who came up with the plan. He felt at ease, thinking that the two of them must have a backup plan.
He Zhaojun pretended to inspect the supplies and patted General Liang on the shoulder. "Hurry and deliver the food and fodder. General Peng is staying at the mansion with his new wife. Don't disturb her unless you have anything else to do."
General Liang said "oh" and quickly signaled the grain cart to move forward as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, Ling Buyi walked out of the mansion holding Peng Kun hostage. Wang Yan was terrified. She could never imagine why Ling Buyi appeared here and why he was fighting with Peng Kun with swords.
"Peng Kun, my Black Armored Guards have surrounded Shouchun. With one order, the city will fall sooner or later. Don't make the same mistake again. Why don't you surrender?"
Ling Buyi placed his long knife on Peng Kun's neck, and with one hand he grasped the back of his collar, forcing him to the city gate: "Open the gate, and I may spare your life."
Peng Kun sneered, "Black Armor Guards? Can they conquer Shouchun? You can try. If you kill me, you'll never learn the truth about Lonely City."
Outside the city, shouts of killing rose. Within a few breaths, black-armored guards scrambled onto the walls. Peng Kun's face was filled with shock. "How could this happen? Shouchun's walls are the highest in our dynasty!"
"Who dares to boast in front of He Zhaojun that his city wall is indestructible?!" After saying this, he remembered He Zhaojun's previous reminder, blocked two swords, and rushed towards the hinge of the city gate.
Peng Kun thought to himself: "Stop him quickly!" There were at least a hundred soldiers defending the city. Even if Ling Buyi was made of iron, how many nails could he twist?
Everyone rushed forward, Ling Buyi didn't even look back, and chopped the iron chain as thick as his wrist with his knife. Sparks flew and the blade was chipped. He was anxious, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting a warning.
"Zisheng, take the knife!"
Wen Ziduan threw a long knife from his back towards Ling Buyi, knocked over two defenseless soldiers with his backhand, and jumped to Ling Buyi's side with He Zhaojun.
He Zhaojun activated the arrows hidden in her arm and fired several arrows, sending many soldiers falling to the ground. "Hurry and cut off the other hinge. Leave the rest of these people to us!"
Ling Buyi pulled out the knife that Wen Ziduan had thrown to him. The knife was pitch black and ghostly, and there was nothing special about it. However, he only used 80% of his strength to chop at the iron chain. The chain, as thick as a bowl, broke at the root, and the city gate lost its pull and creaked.
He Zhaojun smiled. "Are you kidding me about Hundred-Refined Steel?" It's just that it's not yet mass-produced. Once a simpler method is found, it won't be a rare commodity.
When Peng Kun saw this, he knew that the situation was hopeless, but he did not dodge or evade. He drew his sword and rushed towards Ling Buyi, but was pinned to the ground by the black-armored guards who arrived and was unable to move.
The situation on the battlefield was reversed rapidly. Before dawn, all of Peng Kun's men had been arrested. Those who should be killed were killed, and those who should be arrested were arrested. In an instant, the city of Shouchun was filled with cries of grief.
Without time to rest, the few people decided to rush to Tongniu County immediately to investigate the matter of Cheng Shi and Yan Zhong stealing the fine copper. As soon as He Zhaojun mounted her horse, she saw a girl running towards her from a distance, shouting her name.
