Chapter 616: The Final Assault
Chapter 616: The Final Assault
September 25, 2017
"Brutal, so brutal! Lu HaiKong truly lives up to his name, with an incredibly fierce combat style. In less than an hour, he climbed up the city wall on one side and directly demolished it on the other. This momentum is incredibly impressive!"
Behind Lu HaiKong's military camp, a young man stood beside Tan Tai Ming Jing, observing the battle situation and sighing.
"I've studied this Lu HaiKong fellow. Without a good grasp of the situation, he wouldn't have taken action. This time, we can just sit back and reap the benefits." Tan Tai Ming Jing watched the situation unfold, his face remaining calm.
The young man shook his head as he observed, "I actually think that Lu HaiKong's greatest advantage is his luck!"
Tan Tai Ming Jing's eyebrows twitched at these words.
The young man continued, "You don't think the battlefield situation won't change anymore, do you? Don't forget that Lu HaiKong has a tool to breach the city gates, and Zhang Daosheng is a respected Yellow Turban Daozi. Do you think he would lack tools compared to Lu HaiKong?"
"I believe, no, I'm certain, that Zhang Daosheng definitely has a tool to restore the city walls. Even if Zhang Daosheng is at a disadvantage, remember that during the Guangping Battle, the Yellow Turban Army demonstrated a very brutal tactic. If, at that time, those five thousand Yellow Turban Berserkers suddenly appeared through the breached gate, wouldn't Lu HaiKong be in trouble?"
The young man clearly had a deep understanding of the battlefield, or perhaps he was well-informed about the Yellow Turban Army's secret weapon.
Tan Tai Ming Jing fell silent for a moment after hearing this, "If that's the case, the situation might become difficult. Taking Guangping City won't be easy!"
"Don't worry, it's Lu HaiKong who's in trouble, not you. Your lord and his forces are still here, aren't they?"
Just as the young man finished speaking, hundreds of Yellow Turban Berserkers descended simultaneously.
A faint smile appeared on the young man's lips, but it quickly froze as he realized something was amiss with the number of Berserkers.
On the battlefield, beneath the walls of Guangping City!
In fact, Bo Cai had just done something astonishing.
Long-range soldier teleportation was Bo Cai's warlord trait, and he had demonstrated this ability during the Battle of Guangping, which wasn't all that surprising.
However, if one considered a certain situation, Bo Cai's action would be truly astonishing.
It was common knowledge that Lu HaiKong had given Pan Feng two tools: the City-Breaking Automaton, which had already been used, and the Forbidden Stele, which was currently in use.
The Forbidden Stele's effect was to nullify warlord traits and tools. The area where Pan Feng and his troops were located was within the range of the Forbidden Stele's effect, so logically, Bo Cai shouldn't have been able to teleport the hundreds of Yellow Turban Berserkers.
Although Lu HaiKong had marched in anger, he hadn't been idle during his journey and had made some preparations.
During the previous Battle of Guangping, Lu HaiKong had used 'Ten Thousand Miles in One Glance' to observe the entire battlefield from the best vantage point with the most objective perspective.
This perspective allowed Lu HaiKong to notice more details and made him suspect the long-range soldier teleportation ability, which was why he had Pan Feng bring the Forbidden Stele, intending to counter this move.
However, Lu HaiKong hadn't expected that even with the Forbidden Stele activated, Bo Cai would still teleport the Yellow Turban Berserkers.
Although Lu HaiKong couldn't see Bo Cai, he could tell that Bo Cai's action wasn't easy and must have come at a significant cost.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have teleported just a few hundred soldiers.
Even with only a few hundred, their appearance had a significant impact on the battle.
After all, these soldiers were five meters tall, with high strength and defense, making them formidable opponents.
Fortunately, not long after these soldiers appeared, Lu HaiKong arrived with the Blood Bath Army.
Without hesitation, Lu HaiKong led Dian Wei and others to charge into the hundreds of Yellow Turban Berserkers.
These five-meter-tall soldiers were like invincible giants to ordinary soldiers, but in the hands of Lu HaiKong's generals, they were like cotton dolls.
Lu HaiKong, Dian Wei, and Pan Feng led the charge, followed by several dozen Fire Regiment members with strength over 60.
During the battle, Lu HaiKong and Dian Wei's performance was the most eye-catching. Lu HaiKong took a step and swung his axe, killing one Berserker with each blow, while Dian Wei was even more ruthless, sometimes smashing several Berserkers with a single strike of his halberd. The Berserkers' once-proud strength and defense were no match for Lu HaiKong, Dian Wei, and Pan Feng.
In less than thirty minutes, nearly five hundred Yellow Turban Berserkers were slaughtered.
If Lu HaiKong and his generals had activated their warlord traits, they could have been even faster. However, since the Forbidden Stele's effect applied to everyone, Lu HaiKong and his generals couldn't activate their traits, while the Elite Guard and Blood Bath Army's soldier traits remained unaffected.
After dealing with the Yellow Turban Berserkers, Lu HaiKong didn't hesitate and led the Blood Bath Army straight into the fray.
The overwhelming aura of Lu HaiKong and his army was awe-inspiring, especially after they had effortlessly defeated hundreds of Yellow Turban Berserkers, who were considered unbeatable by the Yellow Turban soldiers.
Upon seeing Lu HaiKong's army charging forward, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were previously defending against Pan Feng's troops panicked. In this situation, their defense crumbled like paper under the iron hooves of the Blood Bath Army. Lu HaiKong and his troops easily entered through the collapsed section of the wall where the City-Breaking Automaton had broken through, and they immediately turned towards the city gate with unwavering determination.
The Yellow Turban Army was powerless to stop them, allowing Lu HaiKong's army to effortlessly reach the front gate.
Only when they reached the gate did Lu HaiKong truly sense the Yellow Turban Army's fear of them.
Due to Liang Qi and Ye City's consecutive defeats at the hands of the Ghost Shadow Guard, this time, the Yellow Turban Army had deployed a large number of soldiers equipped with numerous crossbows at the gate, and they had even stationed a historical general there.
He Man, who had been lucky enough to escape death by swapping positions with Liang Qi, was now in charge of defending this side.
Seeing Lu HaiKong approaching, He Man's face turned pale with fear, and he desperately organized resistance against Lu HaiKong.
But what effect could he have? Lu HaiKong was like a devil to the Yellow Turban Army, and their morale plummeted at the sight of him.
Despite their good equipment and capable soldiers, they couldn't even unleash half of their true strength against Lu HaiKong's army.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong effortlessly advanced, and with a single axe, he took He Man's life. It took only a few minutes to eliminate the Yellow Turban soldiers at this gate and open it.
Outside the gate, Wen Chou and Gao Lan, who had been waiting with the Wuyuan Army, charged in. With this, the entire Guangping City was almost completely breached.
Many people in the rear of Lu HaiKong's army were stunned by this scene.
The young man who had predicted Lu HaiKong's defeat in the siege now looked embarrassed.
Realizing his mistake, he was immediately slapped in the face by Lu HaiKong.
Unlike the young man, Tan Tai Ming Jing remained calm, as if he had known from the start that this would happen.
Even these two were less surprised than the young man who had been proven wrong, as they had anticipated this situation from the beginning.
On the other side, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian were more shocked.
From the moment Lu HaiKong launched his attack until now, less than two hours had passed.
In those two hours, the Yellow Turban Army nearly suffered complete annihilation, and until now, Huangfu Song and his troops probably lacked the courage to launch another attack, as the city wall had been directly breached.
Faced with such a feat, they were stunned and unable to remain calm.
Despite Tan Tai Ming Jing's persuasion and their decision to challenge Lu HaiKong for control of Guangping City, they lacked confidence in their ability to capture the city due to the vast disparity in strength.
Moreover, as soon as they arrived, Lu HaiKong was ready to launch the attack on Guangping City. This made Liu Bei and the others worry that Lu HaiKong might use them as cannon fodder.
Unexpectedly, Lu HaiKong's attack plan didn't even consider them as a priority, directly throwing them to the rear.
This was not only a form of protection but also a sign of Lu HaiKong's disregard for these Shrimp and Crab Generals. By not letting them lead the charge, Lu HaiKong wasn't concerned about casualties but firmly believed that his army could breach the city walls without their assistance. He didn't want them to get in the way and potentially hinder the siege.
This was arrogance, an arrogance they now understood.
Faced with this arrogance and the gate that had been breached in less than two hours, Liu Bei and the others were speechless.
At that moment, in the rear of Lu HaiKong's army, the sound of war drums resonated. Hearing this, the armies of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian became energized, as this was the signal for their attack.
They had finally arrived.
After witnessing the terror of Lu HaiKong's army and the feat of breaching the city wall in two hours, Liu Bei and the others felt their blood boiling with excitement, eager for a blood-soaked battle.
In an instant, Liu Bei's three legions, totaling 30,000 troops, launched their attack to the sound of the war drums...
