Below the city walls, thousands of guards stood at the gate, armed with spears and shields.
The city gate behind us creaked shut.
Originally, Su Yan always thought that it was the soldiers of Jinyu Kingdom who killed the original body.
Actually, no.
Because the general of Shengyuan Kingdom had already given up on the lives of these thousands of soldiers.
The general stood on the city gate and shouted.
"Soldiers! Defending our homeland is a soldier's duty!"
Now, the safety and peace of Shengyuan Kingdom rests on your shoulders!
As soon as the words were spoken, the thousands of soldiers were filled with fervor.
"Defend our homeland!"
"Defend our homeland!!"
They were all shouting in unison.
According to the intelligence feedback we've received, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll likely conduct another small-scale harassment tonight, just like we did a couple of weeks ago.
These hundreds of archers, along with the soldiers below the city walls, are enough to handle the situation.
Being so close, we can also provide reinforcements if needed.
Just then, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from ahead; it was the infantry of the Golden Jade Kingdom running towards them.
The general standing on the high platform raised his hand in preparation.
Before the gesture could even land, suddenly they saw what looked like a continuous expanse of fire in the distance.
Whoosh! The burning rockets came hurtling in.
They charged in unison towards the soldiers below the city gate.
This sudden attack caught them all off guard.
Chaos erupted immediately.
This fire is really powerful; I wonder what it's made of.
Once a little bit gets on you, you can't shake it off, and the fire just keeps burning brighter.
It's as if they won't stop until they've completely swallowed the person whole.
Su Yan brandished the spear in her hand.
They fend off the incoming rockets.
Amidst this chaos, the Golden Jade Kingdom came up with a new tactic.
Thump!
A huge rock, seemingly out of nowhere, arced through the air and struck the city wall.
Before those people could react, dozens of boulders flew towards them.
They all slammed down on the city wall.
The general on the city wall was taken aback.
"What...what is this?"
Clearly, they were unaware that the other party had come prepared.
They didn't even know the other party's background.
This stone-throwing continued for about half an hour.
Some of the boulders fell and killed soldiers instantly; such cases were common.
The scene was extremely tragic.
Upon closer examination, the fall of the city gates of Shengyuan Kingdom was not without reason.
At least this incompetent general should be the first to be punished.
Amidst the chaos, enemy soldiers surged in.
"Charge!!!!"
It was imposing and seemed poised to annex the city.
Su Yan looked back; the city gates were closing.
All around, very few soldiers remained intact.
Li Dabai was also injured as a result.
Li Dabai held the broken spear.
"Young man! Follow me! Don't worry, if I don't die, you definitely won't die either!!"
That voice carried a sense of finality.
It seemed they were ready to fight the approaching troops.
The battle has begun.
The spearmen at the front were the first to be hit, accompanied by a barrage of arrows, as dense as rain.
Su Yan brandished her spear.
He also shielded Li Dabai, who was standing next to him, from the side.
After all, he was the one who gave her food.
At this moment, the general on the city wall was enraged and shouted...
"Open the city gates! Let's settle this once and for all!!"
The city gates opened, and a large number of soldiers poured out.
The battle has officially begun.
However, the general opened the city gate at a very bad time.
Many soldiers were shot and wounded as soon as they went out.
Li Dabai was fighting the enemy in front, while Su Yan was keeping an eye on her left and right, as well as the arrows flying down from above.
They cleared out the enemies again and again.
Li Dabai was tall and strong, and also had some skill.
So much so that when the two joined forces and stormed into the enemy's camp, they even showed a trend of unstoppable advance.
