Free Web NovelChapter 238: Night Raid, Siege Attack!
Therefore,
In order to be cautious, they can only attack Ruan City again tomorrow!
As night fell,
The rain continued to pour incessantly.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter—
The gloomy night plunged most of the soldiers, who had endured long marches and were exhausted, into a deep sleep.
They slept soundly, so deeply that not even the approaching faint footsteps could awaken these battle-hardened soldiers.
Zhao Yun’s eyes gleamed brightly and clearly in the dark night, his gaze cold and calm as he watched the approaching enemy camp.
Behind him were tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Danyang.
Among elite soldiers nationwide, Danyang’s soldiers ranked at the forefront.
They could adapt to most harsh natural environments, and the current rainy weather did nothing to dampen their spirits.
Each soldier harbored a strong determination. It wasn’t long ago that the soldiers from these two countries had attempted to attack the city.
And now they were here again. Did they think our Han cities were theirs to come and go as they pleased?
There’s an old saying among the Han people: "Those who provoke our Great Han, even if they are far away, will be punished!"
Now these foreign races are back. It’s as if they find a road in heaven but refuse to take it, and crash through hell’s gate!
Zhao Yun raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
The soldiers behind him understood immediately, drawing their sharp swords from their scabbards, gleaming in the cold black night.
With the command given! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Zhao Yun led tens of thousands of Danyang elite soldiers, like emotionless machines, to infiltrate the various enemy camps.
The cold blades showed no mercy as they took life after life. The enemies’ vitality quietly faded, their bodies gradually becoming lifeless corpses without warmth.
The reason for this smooth operation lay in Zhao Yun’s use of the enemy’s psychological characteristics, combined with the favorable weather.
With both heaven and man on their side, why worry that the grand plan wouldn’t succeed?
Because the sentinels in the camps had already been silently assassinated by the bats in the black night—the Jin Yi Wei.
This also meant that Zhao Yun and his men were only gradually discovered as they approached the enemy...
"Ahhh!!!"
A piercing scream shattered the air.
Countless torches were lit, and elite soldiers clad in armor emerged from their tents, wielding spears and halberds, stepping out into the chaotic scene.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!!!"
Drums echoed.
Zhao Yun, who had just picked off several men with his spear, wore a fierce expression and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me and charge out! Don’t get trapped here!!!"
The enemy had now awakened to the situation. If they stayed here any longer, they might be trapped.
"Yes, General Long Xiang!!!"
"Yes, General Long Xiang!!!"
...
"Damn, whose general is this?!" (Myanmar language)
The Myanmar leader, dressed neatly, saw the chaos inside the military tent and exclaimed.
"Yeah! They dare to attack our nearly four hundred thousand troops with tens of thousands of soldiers!" (Thai language)
The Thai leader frowned slightly, showing a hint of shock in his eyes, with a trace of admiration deep within.
"Damn it, chase them down!!" (Myanmar language)
He angrily shouted while wielding a long spear.
Boom—
Silver-white rays of light burst forth, and a majestic silver dragon, several zhang long, soared into the sky and blasted a huge gap.
Roar!
Roar!
The dragon’s roar echoed through the sky, shaking the earth.
Hundreds, nearly thousands of soldiers were killed by this attack, their bodies flying in all directions.
"So strong!!! When did Long Chen have such a general under him?!"
The Myanmar leader was shocked, his eyelids twitching.
That night,
Zhao Yun personally led tens of thousands of Danyang elite soldiers in a night raid against the Myanmar and Thai armies, who hadn’t fully stabilized their positions yet.
They killed nearly a hundred thousand enemies, while their own losses were only a few thousand, almost negligible compared to the victory.
However,
What pleased Zhao Yun the most wasn’t the number of enemies killed, but the fact that this action once again shattered the morale of the enemy troops.
Anxiety hung over every soldier in the enemy camp like a dark cloud.
Even so, the leaders of both countries were still unwilling to withdraw their troops.
Inside the military tents,
The Myanmar leader slammed the table angrily and shouted:
"This is just a minor setback! Anyone who dares to speak of withdrawing will be executed on the spot!!!" (Myanmar language)
"Right! We’ve worked so hard to seize this opportunity. We mustn’t abandon our overall strategy just because of a setback!" (Thai language)
The Thai leader nodded with a thoughtful expression, rubbing his chin.
That night, each lord arranged his own troops, slowly restoring their morale.
They aimed to launch an assault on the city the next day.
Time couldn’t be wasted any longer; the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
One reason was the transport of supplies. Due to the long front line, transporting supplies was extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, their supply support was limited. Another reason was the morale of the soldiers.
A surge, followed by decline, and then exhaustion.
If they continued to delay, the morale of their troops would inevitably decline, possibly leading to mutiny!
...
At the border between Myanmar and Thailand’s cities,
A mighty army moved like a primordial beast.
At the forefront was the Ice Dragon King, sitting astride with an imposing aura—the unmistakable Long Chen, clad in the silver-armored Qilin armor.
Along the march, his shoulders moved in sync with the Ice Dragon King’s strides.
On his left was the fiery-red Lu Bu, and the Red Hare steed bowed slightly in reverence before the Ice Dragon King.
There was no other reason,
The bloodline suppression of the Five-Star Demonic Beasts was too powerful, combined with the fact that the Ice Dragon King belonged to the dragon race.
The Dragon King’s unique royal aura slowly emanated, causing even the Red Hare divine steed to bow its head in reverence. Long Chen calmly looked at the gradually revealed rugged edges of the Taiguo city ahead, and turned to Lu Bu beside him, asking, "Prime Minister, in your opinion, how many troops are needed to take this city?"
Lu Bu, riding atop the Red Hare, exuded an aura of supreme confidence as he replied, "My Lord, give me just ten thousand troops, and I will lead the charge to capture this city!" Truly, Lu Bu, the number one warrior of China, was born with such dominance. Moreover, Lu Bu had the strength and credibility to make such statements.
Furthermore, with the main forces of the enemy city deployed, the defending garrison was estimated to be no more than ten thousand. Given Lu Bu’s bravery and terrifying skills, he could use sheer force to storm the city and secure a foothold for their army.
Upon hearing this, Long Chen chuckled heartily, "Haha, Prime Minister, being called the Tiger of Jiuyuan certainly has its reasons!" "Alright, I will grant your request. You shall lead the initial attack. But I will give you twenty thousand troops, and you may choose the types of soldiers!"
"But I have one condition: you must capture this city by the end of today." Upon hearing this, Lu Bu was overjoyed. The Swallowing Heaven Beast Faceplate Armor on his body emitted a dark red glow. He quickly clasped his fists and replied, "I will obey, my Lord!"
With that said, he turned his horse around and selected nearly twenty thousand foot soldiers, mostly consisting of Danyang elite soldiers and Yellow Turban warriors. These infantry units were much more suitable for siege warfare compared to cavalry, as each excelled in different aspects.
After Lu Bu’s attack on Beiliu City, Long Chen didn’t idle. He issued orders one by one, sending his generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu, each leading tens of thousands of troops to capture enemy cities. The reason it was called a lightning battle was because the speed of the combat was as swift and decisive as lightning, leaving the enemy bewildered.
Brandishing the Fangtian halberd, Lu Bu charged atop the Red Hare without a word. His whole body seemed to burn like intense flames, emitting layers of dark red demonic flames, with fiery waves in his eyes. Where the blade of the Fangtian halberd struck, several dark golden halberd lights shot out, directly blasting a crack in the enemy city’s wall.
As his warhorse galloped swiftly, Lu Bu smoothly drew his Dragon Tongue bow and shot arrows like flowing water. Buzz— An arrow burning with raging fire transformed into a phantom beast and soared through the air. Swish— In an instant, it shot down the enemy’s commanding flag hanging over the city. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The morale of the enemy garrison immediately plummeted. "Defend the city! Defend the city!!!" "Enemy attack! All troops, up on the walls! We must hold the city and buy time for reinforcements for our Lord!" However, no matter how loudly the defenders shouted, they couldn’t resist the terrifying might of Lu Bu, a nearly max-level Five-Star General.
"Unrivaled in the world!" As if buffed with red and blue enhancements, Lu Bu’s momentum soared terrifyingly once again. The dark, layered armor emitted a chilling aura, and the terrifying murderous intent swept through the world. After the terrifying momentum of the unmatched ferocious beast descended, the defenders were plunged into a state of fear.
Their legs trembled, their eyes lost focus, their hearts raced, and they felt a sense of powerlessness all over. The weapons in their hands trembled due to the weakness in their arms. But the real terror was just beginning.
With a sinister smile, Lu Bu’s eyes turned blood-red after being empowered by his unmatched skill, like a demon descending. "You insects, now... enjoy yourselves..." With that, he began to laugh maniacally, his speed suddenly skyrocketing, and the Red Hare divine steed responded instinctively, stomping fiercely. The ground turned into a sea of flames.
Lu Bu lifted his Fangtian halberd and shouted, "Tear the sky and burn the world!!!" An endless fire domain unfolded, and the raging demonic flames swept out from Lu Bu’s Fangtian halberd. Tearing the sky and burning the world could condense the divine fire of heaven and earth, turning an area of hundreds of miles into a sea of fire, with a damage rate of 180%...
It seemed that the capture of Beiliu City was inevitable! Just wondering how many cities Lu Bu could conquer today... Turning his gaze to Dian Wei, he saw an endless aura of black malevolence rushing towards him, with a monstrous beast opening its blood-filled mouth, devouring meat on the city wall.
With a sweep of his giant halberds, dozens of lives disappeared in this world, their brains bursting out like smashed watermelons, blood splattering everywhere. Dian Wei’s tiger eyes had completely turned black, his lips even slightly blackened. "Hehehe!!! What are you doing?! What are you doing?! Let my glutton devour its fill!"
The demonic voice echoed like a bell, shocking all around, and the soldiers defending the city were overwhelmed. With twin halberds weighing thousands of catties, one sweep was enough to drop a row of heads, like smashing watermelons, brain matter splattering out, incredibly bloody. "Nai Nai bears!! These soldiers aren’t enough to kill! Not enough to kill!!!"
Dian Wei hammered his chest muscles furiously, shouting madly. Similar to Dian Wei’s cruel killings, Xu Chu was also open to killing. Bare-chested, his bronze-colored hard muscles covered with beads of sweat, showing how strong his flesh was. More powerful than a stone Johnson.
