Chapter 29 Amidst a vast army, take the enemy general's head!
"Report! Commander, news has come from Fuyu Guard that they have also been attacked by a mysterious force!"
"The deputy commander of Fuyuwei has been killed, and all the grain supplies have been burned. We request that our army send grain reinforcements!"
In the tent of the Uriyangkhad Khan, Hua Dang, the commander of the Doyan Guard, was listening to the news brought by the scout captain.
When he heard that Fuyuwei had been attacked by a mysterious force, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and kicked over the table in front of him.
"This is outrageous! Who are these people?! Who are they?!"
In recent days, it wasn't just the Left Army, where Fuyuwei was located, that was attacked.
Both the Right Army, where Taining Guard was located, and the Central Army, where Duoyan Guard was located, were harassed by secret agents from the Imperial Guard of Hulong Mountain Villa.
These imperial spies roaming the grasslands caused them a lot of trouble.
This mysterious unit, though swift in and swift in action, possesses exceptional individual combat prowess but is not prone to prolonged battles.
They were neither able to fight nor capture them; their advantage of numbers was completely negated, and they could only passively take hits.
Hua Dang grew increasingly anxious and ordered, "We can't wait any longer! Pass down the order: attack the city tonight!"
"Yes, Commander!"
The spies of the Dragon Guard Manor inflicted heavy losses on the Uriyangkhai, but also prompted Huadang to fight a desperate battle with his back to the wall!
Tonight, they will blast open the gates of Liaodong!
……
The night was cool as water.
In the quiet of the night, the earth suddenly began to tremble, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves filled the air.
The guards on the city gate were alarmed and immediately drew their bows and fired a flaming arrow forward.
Wherever the rocket passed, it illuminated a vast, dark army on the grassland!
The soldiers defending the city were terrified and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Enemy attack!"
"Fire!"
The Uriyangkhai launched a decisive siege, relentlessly attacking Liaodong's defenses time and again.
On the city wall, dozens of red-coated cannons roared, and wherever the cannons landed, men and horses fell!
The Liaodong General Commander had already died in battle, and now the Liaodong Deputy General Commander was taking over command.
Although the firearms and cannons of the Ming Dynasty were powerful, they were subject to too many restrictions.
Uriyangkhai unleashed a barrage of arrows, and the Ming soldiers on the city walls could not withstand such a dense barrage.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty's garrison had suffered heavy losses and was at its last gasp.
Hua Dang, the commander of the army, was overjoyed to see the Liaodong defense line weakening.
He drew his saber from his back and pointed it at the city walls of Liaodong.
"Listen to my command! Whoever first scales the walls of the Ming city, slays the Ming general, breaches the city walls, or captures the Ming banner will be rewarded with a thousand head of cattle and sheep, a hundred slaves, and a hundred taels of gold!"
"Charge!"
Enticed by Hua Dang's generous reward, the soldiers of the Uriyangkhai were all bloodthirsty and desperately charged at the walls of Liaodong.
The soldiers defending Liaodong were driven back in disarray by the relentless offensive of the Uriyangkhai.
The Liaodong defense line is in grave danger!
Just when the soldiers of Liaodong were feeling desperate, a man with a sword suddenly appeared among the enemy troops like a ghost!
Wherever this man went, the Uriyangkhai soldiers around him were instantly thrown into chaos, dying one after another!
One man, one sword, carved a bloody path through the midst of a massive army!
His target was none other than Hua Dang, the commander of the Duoyan Guard!
When Hua noticed the person coming against the flow of people in the sea of people, she was so frightened that she turned around and tried to run away.
"Stop him!"
"Stop him right now!"
"Don't let him come over!"
"..."
Hua shouted desperately, but the battlefield was in chaos, and she was unable to organize any effective resistance.
Hua Dang could only watch helplessly as he fought his way through the enemy ranks, step by step, toward her.
"Who are you?!"
The flower's eyes widened in horror, and it roared in pain.
"Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi!"
Zhu Wushi took a step forward, activated the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, and arrived in front of Hua Dang in the blink of an eye.
"The Great Absorption Technique!"
Zhu ignored the fact that his right hand had formed a claw, and a powerful suction force emanated from his right hand, pulling Hua Dang's head into his palm.
"To rebel against the Ming Dynasty is a crime punishable by death!"
Zhu Wushi snorted coldly and slashed down with his sword, instantly separating Hua Dang's head from his body.
Zhu Wushi, carrying Hua Dang's head, used his lightness skill to float away over the heads of the Wuliangha soldiers.
"The bandit leader, Hua Dang, has already been executed. Why don't you surrender now? Are you still going to struggle in vain and make pointless sacrifices?!"
Zhu Wushi unleashed his inner strength, spreading his voice throughout the thousands of troops outside Liaodong City.
Immediately, chaos erupted within the Uriyangkhai army's ranks.
In the midst of a fierce battle, the army's commander-in-chief was killed right in front of tens of thousands of soldiers!
This dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Uriyangkhai, and their morale plummeted.
Many of the Uriyangkhai soldiers had lost the courage to continue fighting and turned to flee.
But the army's momentum had already been established, and even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't, only causing chaos within the ranks.
The deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong stared wide-eyed, overjoyed, as if a great weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
"The Iron-Blooded Marquis truly deserves to be called a pillar of the nation. To take the enemy general's head amidst ten thousand troops—his skill is truly divine!"
"Indeed, the Divine Marquis is truly a divine being."
The deputy commander of Liaodong responded, but suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and stared at the young man beside him.
"Who are you……"
The man smiled slightly: "Wang Shouren, the governor of Liaodong, has been ordered by His Majesty to lead 100,000 troops from the capital to Liaodong."
"What?! Reinforcements have arrived?!"
The Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Wang Shouren, saying, "Your subordinate greets Your Excellency the Governor!"
"Enough with the formalities, open the door. It's time to send these Tartars on their way."
Wang Shouren's expression was calm, but his words were full of murderous intent.
The deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong was then shocked to realize that 100,000 troops were already poised to attack within Liaodong City.
If we say that Zhu's act of disregarding the enemy's army and taking their heads from among thousands only dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Uriyangkhai, then...
Then the 100,000 troops inside the city will be able to completely crush the Uriyangkhai forces!
The deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong wept with joy, shouting, "Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements from our Great Ming Dynasty have arrived!"
"Open the city gates! Open the city gates now!"
As the voice of the Liaodong deputy commander-in-chief echoed through the city gates, the soldiers defending the city cheered with joy.
"Great! Reinforcements have arrived! Liaodong is saved!"
"Open the city gates immediately! Today, we will make sure the Uriyangkhai never return, and they will pay for their crimes in blood!"
As they were speaking, the Liaodong city gate, which Uriyangkhad had been longing for day and night, suddenly opened.
But behind the city gates, there was no food, livestock, supplies, or women they desired.
Only 100,000 Ming Dynasty soldiers, their eyes red with rage, wished they could devour him alive!
"All troops, attack!"
On the city wall, Wang Shouren boldly gave the order!
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
One hundred thousand Ming Dynasty troops, shouting battle cries and brandishing swords, charged towards the Uriyangkhai!
One hundred thousand troops charged into the Uriyangkhai camp, and the Uriyangkhai's fragile defenses collapsed at the first touch!
In an instant, shouts of battle, screams of agony, the neighing of horses, and pleas for mercy filled the air...
The sound never ceases, soaring throughout the universe!
