Chapter 615: The Fall of the City
Chapter 615: The Fall of the City
September 25, 2017
Gao Shun's warlord trait was incredibly powerful. Once activated, it forced the damage he received to be reduced to one percent after half an hour.
This meant that an original force of one hundred jin, when it finally landed on the soldiers of the Defense Army, would only have the effect of one jin. And this was just one of the effects triggered by Gao Shun's warlord trait.
If even such a warlord trait wasn't considered powerful, then what kind of warlord trait would be considered powerful?
However, although Gao Shun's warlord trait was strong, the strength of the Defense Army under his command was not.
The highest strength among them was only around 35, and a large portion of them had a strength of only about 25. With such strength, they would never have been able to climb the city walls without the support of Gao Shun's warlord trait.
Gao Shun's warlord trait was a double-edged sword. When it was activated, they advanced like a raging fire, reaching the city walls in less than half an hour. But once the trait ended, they immediately suffered heavy casualties.
Eighty percent of those who couldn't climb the walls within half an hour failed to do so, and those who made it to the top of the walls faced the most ferocious attacks from the Yellow Turban soldiers.
However, if one truly believed that without their warlord trait, they would lose their previous bravery, then one would be underestimating the Defense Army.
This army, entirely composed of indigenous NPCs, was not remarkable in terms of individual strength, but their willpower was the strongest among Lu HaiKong's forces.
Almost all members of the Defense Army were from Lu HaiKong's Flame Yellow Mountain Fortress, and they had the most fanatical devotion to Lu HaiKong, which was especially evident in their battles.
Facing the frenzied encirclement of the Yellow Turban soldiers, the warriors of the Defense Army showed no fear, even with the disappearance of their warlord trait. With unparalleled bravery, they used their steel knives and their own flesh and blood to hold the ground leading to the city walls for the Wuyuan Army behind them.
Due to the constraints of the city walls, Gao Shun's Defense Army could say that they were facing an army of three hundred thousand, but at this moment, the only enemies they directly faced were those allowed to stand side by side on the walls. So, Gao Shun's forces were not at a significant disadvantage.
It was because of the Defense Army's fierce combat style and Gao Shun's terrifying combat power that less than four thousand soldiers of the Defense Army managed to hold back the frenzied attacks of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers.
However, while Gao Shun's forces won this battle, Bo Cai was not an easy opponent either.
Under Bo Cai's command, the Defense Army might not be able to make significant progress due to the terrain, but he could restrict their movements and prevent them from expanding their occupied area. Additionally, he utilized the city's defense forces to stop the Wuyuan Army.
From a strategic perspective, although Gao Shun's forces of over four thousand had reached the city walls, they hadn't dealt a fatal blow to the Yellow Turbans. On the contrary, the Defense Army was at risk of being defeated.
"Excellent! We've finally contained that army. Once we annihilate this legion, we can greatly boost the morale of our troops!" Zhang Daosheng looked at the current situation with great delight. This was the best outcome from the worst possible start.
However, he seemed to have rejoiced too soon. At this moment, their attention was drawn to the Defense Army, completely unaware of another legion approaching the city of Guangping under Lu HaiKong's command.
This legion was not Lu HaiKong's Blood Bath Army but Pan Feng's Elite Guard Legion!
This legion, on par with the Blood Bath Army, arrived at the city of Guangping, wearing their signature heavy armor, with the help of the Elite Guard Legion, while Bo Cai's attention was focused on the Defense Army.
Due to their distance from the city gate, the cover provided by the Wuyuan Army and the Elite Guard Legion, and the strong performance of the Defense Army, very few Yellow Turban soldiers noticed their presence.
By the time they realized the existence of this legion, it was already too late.
Pan Feng took out something and threw it towards the city wall, and in an instant, red lines radiated from his hand, covering the city wall within a hundred-meter radius.
"Not good!"
Zhang Daosheng's heart sank as he witnessed this scene. Before he could react, a teeth-grinding sound echoed, followed by countless cracks appearing on the city wall. In the next moment, a hundred-meter section of the wall in front of Pan Feng collapsed!
This was the power of the top-tier City-Breaking Automaton that Lu HaiKong had previously activated.
"Leave none alive!"
As the city wall broke, Pan Feng raised his battle axe high, and a furious roar shook the heavens.
Responding to Pan Feng's roar, the Elite Guard Legion activated their Bloodthirsty Rampage. A thousand mountain bandits, clad in iron armor from head to toe, awakened like killing machines from their slumber, and an extreme bloody aura spread out.
And at this moment, Zhang Daosheng rushed over from his original position at the very center, disregarding everything.
As an extraordinary individual with a unique scouting skill, he had already understood the terror of this elite guard legion even before they fully unleashed their might.
With a base might of 45 and their terrifying unit traits, the consequences of letting them into the city were unimaginable. Therefore, he had to intercept this elite guard legion outside the city gates!
However, at this moment, due to the sudden collapse of the hundred-meter-tall city wall, countless Yellow Turban soldiers were injured or killed.
For a while, Guangping City was unable to mobilize its elite troops to block the elite guard legion, so using conventional means to stop Pan Feng and his forces from entering this hundred-meter-wide breach in the wall was extremely difficult.
As Zhang Daosheng ran, he didn't seem to care about this difficulty. He was seen running while holding a token in his hand and muttering, "Lu HaiKong, if you think you're the only one with items, you're too arrogant!"
In the time it took him to speak, Zhang Daosheng had already reached the area where the city wall had been breached by the automaton.
As he approached, he raised the token in his hand, but instead of the expected result, he received a cold system prompt.
[The enemy has activated a special item {Forbidden Stele}, your item usage has failed!]
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Daosheng froze on the spot, his face turning deathly pale.
When the city gate was first breached, he wasn't too worried because he had an item to restore the wall and a way to prevent the city from falling. But the iron-like fact before him told him that the enemy had prepared for this!
Now that the wall was broken and couldn't be repaired, Pan Feng's elite guard legion had started pushing in, and the Blood Demon Legion led by Lu HaiKong below the wall also showed signs of launching an attack.
In the 1619 edition of the book, there was no mistake!
It's over, almost completely over!
Once Lu HaiKong's forces break in, even though their soldiers far outnumber Lu HaiKong's, their fate will undoubtedly be tragic.
"Zhang Yan, block that breach!" Fortunately, Zhang Daosheng wasn't completely overwhelmed by despair and quickly reacted, roaring out a heart-wrenching command.
In fact, Zhang Daosheng didn't even need to give this order. When the wall in front of Pan Feng collapsed, Zhang Yan, who was stationed inside the city, reacted swiftly. He quickly gathered a large number of troops and rushed over, intending to block Pan Feng's elite guard legion outside the wall.
This was a very arrogant idea; blocking Pan Feng's elite guard legion was not going to be easy.
Although this legion didn't have the soul guardian of Gao Shun, each of them wore armor that was truly impenetrable to blades and guns.
While it was incredibly heavy, its defensive power was so terrifying that even a full-power strike from a 70 might warlord might not be able to kill them.
In this situation, these iron-clad warriors stood like immovable pillars amidst the Yellow Turban flood, slaying the oncoming Yellow Turban soldiers one by one and turning them into nourishment for their strength!
At the forefront were Pan Feng and his elite guard legion, followed by the royal guard corps and the Wuyuan army close behind.
Despite the Yellow Turban army's swift reaction, they still allowed Pan Feng's forces to break into Guangping City!
Once Pan Feng's forces entered Guangping City, the morale of the Yellow Turban army began to crumble.
There was no other choice; the Yellow Turban soldiers were already terrified of Lu HaiKong, and now that the battle had begun, one section of the wall had been breached, and another hundred-meter section had been completely demolished. In this situation, it was inevitable for the Yellow Turban army's morale to crumble.
In this situation, Bo Cai, who had been commanding against Gao Shun, shook his teeth. Then, his eyes flashed with determination, and he waved his hands.
"Pfft!"
Just as Bo Cai finished this gesture, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body seemed to have weakened significantly.
However, almost at the same moment that Bo Cai completed this action, hundreds of five-meter-tall Yellow Turban berserkers with a might of 60, like giants, smashed down from the breached section of the wall.
Their stunning entrance immediately claimed the lives of hundreds of mountain bandit guards, who paid a heavy price.
Of course, as the mountain bandit guards were crushed and killed by the hundreds, the Yellow Turban berserkers who smashed into them also didn't fare well.
Although the mountain bandit guards might have been lacking in might, their equipment was top-notch, and force is relative. When the giant Yellow Turban berserkers smashed into the mountain bandit guards, they too suffered casualties, with hundreds of them sustaining fractures and other injuries.
But these details weren't important. What mattered was that their direct intervention had blocked that section of the wall...
