Douluo—Chapter 24: Repairing the plank road in the open, passing through an underground tunnel in secret! Black armor in the rain!
Wuping City, North Gate.
The heavy rain was still pouring, and the rain and blood gathered on the ground, winding along the cracks in the bluestone.
Zhu Fan was possessed by the martial soul at this moment, like a demon god in the world, with eight soul rings shining under his feet, and dozens of soldiers flew out every time he made a move.
Even when facing the arrows shot by the soldiers of Wuping City, he was not afraid.
He once again used a huge blood claw to push away countless arrows, and the sound of "ding ding dang dang" continued. Arrows fell to the ground, splashing water.
The two hundred first-line soldiers behind him protected his side in a cone-shaped formation and firmly defended the city gate.
They had firm eyes, and even though they were covered in blood, they never retreated a step, forming a stalemate with the soldiers of Wuping City.
At this time, the old general Li Jinglong, the lord of Wuping City, who heard the soldiers report the battle situation at the city gate, finally arrived.
"Not moving forward?"
Just taking a look at the situation on the battlefield, Li Jinglong's eyes instantly condensed and guessed Zhu Fan's purpose.
"Hold on and wait for help?!"
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted, "Pass my order: close the east, west, and south gates, and leave a team to defend."
"All the rest of the troops in the city, gather at the north gate!"
"Before the army from Wu'an City arrives, kill all the enemies at the north gate!"
"Yes!"
The guard turned around and went to pass the order.
Then, he looked at the Heaven Dou Empire soldiers who were in a stalemate with Zhu Fan, "All troops, charge!"
"The first person to break the formation will be promoted three levels! The second person to break the formation will be promoted to one level!"
"And those who dare to stop will be killed without mercy!"
With the roar of Li Jinglong, the city lord, the Heaven Dou Empire soldiers who were originally a little scared, no matter how reluctant they were, did not dare to stop moving forward.
Suddenly, Zhu Fan's pressure increased greatly, but his killing intent did not diminish at all.
Every soldier from Wuping City who dared to approach him felt a black screen before his eyes and then died instantly. No one could survive a single move from him.
Even the two powerful Soul Saints that Xue Qinghe had left behind joined forces.
But under Zhu Fan's fierce attack, they also quickly retreated and vomited blood.
Although Zhu Fan consumed a lot of soul power for this, he still implemented Dai Chengfeng's order and firmly occupied the north gate of Wuping City.
Until...
The reinforcements from Wuping City arrived!
They came in waves, like "bugs," but endless.
Although Zhu Fan and the two hundred vanguards he led were fearless, they were still flesh and blood, and the other side had two Soul Saints cooperating to entangle Zhu Fan.
Therefore, under such a fierce two-sided attack, it was inevitable that casualties gradually occurred.
Seeing that his soldiers finally began to gain the upper hand, Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally had time to ask about the cause and effect.
He went directly to the general in charge of defending the city today, grabbed his collar, and roared: "Asshole!"
"Why did the people from Wu'an City suddenly attack?"
"Or, they don't have siege equipment. Why didn't you close the city gate when you saw them coming?"
"How could they occupy the north gate?!"
The general was immediately breathless and explained anxiously: "Lord City Lord, they... They suddenly appeared from nowhere. We didn't see them before."
"By the time I reacted, it was too late."
"I didn't see... where did they come from?"
Boom——!
Instantly, Li Jinglong felt his mind go blank, he stumbled and almost fell, only three words came to his mind, "Falling in a trap!"
He would never believe that these people from Wu'an City would fall from the sky.
If that's the case, then it can only be underground!
And digging a tunnel is not something that can be completed in a day or two, which means...
From the beginning to the end, he was played around by the other party!
"Okay, okay! Okay!"
"It turns out that the so-called road construction without siege equipment is just a trick. They didn't intend to force the siege at all, but planned to take advantage of the flatness of the newly built road to charge and kill my Wuping City!"
Li Jinglong didn't think that this would be the plan of Zhu Yan, who had been hostile to him for many years.
Instantly, he subconsciously thought of a person...
Kid who saved Wu'an City from collapse in the last bloody battle in Wu'an, and is now the real ruler of Wu'an City - the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Chengfeng!
Instantly, Li Jinglong felt numb all over.
He couldn't imagine that a child in his eyes could be patient and plan for half a year, just to direct such a perfect and deceiving drama!
"What a trick to build a plank road in the open and attack Wuping City secretly!"
"I, Li Jinglong, have been a soldier all my life, but you, a child, have fooled me around!"
"Shame! Shame!" Li Jinglong roared.
However, although he was extremely unwilling, why didn't he notice anything unusual before and react in advance?
But Li Jinglong is worthy of being a man who has seen big scenes.
Soon, he took a deep breath and regained his composure, "Pass my order!"
"The enemy general's physical strength has declined. Now..."
"I'll give you one stick of incense."
"I only want the north gate of Wuping City, regardless of sacrifice! If you can't do it, military law will be enforced!"
There was a hint of solemnity in Li Jinglong's voice, but more of worry and bitterness.
After all, since Dai Chengfeng no longer forbears, it is likely that the 'sword of death' in his hand is sharp enough!
I am afraid there is no possibility of winning.
But!
Li Jinglong didn't want to lose, and he couldn't afford to lose, "If I lose this battle..."
"How will history books record me thousands of years later?!"
"When people mention this battle, they will talk about how the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire planned and won the battle thousands of miles away, while I, Li Jinglong..."
And just as Li Jinglong was thinking, suddenly a soldier pointed outside the city in horror, "Lord City Lord, look there?!"
The voice trembled and pierced the rain curtain.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jinglong turned around in confusion after hearing this, holding the arrow slit and leaning forward to look, but he only saw endless darkness in the sky and earth with dark clouds pressing down on the city and heavy rain.
Boom——!
A thunderbolt, like a dragon, tore through the darkness and illuminated the entire world.
Li Jinglong's pupils shrank slightly.
At that moment, in the heavy rain, he vaguely saw on the distant horizon, that there seemed to be an "iron armor" approaching Wuping City quickly.
But soon, with the disappearance of the thunder, the team disappeared into the darkness again, as if it were just an illusion.
Boom——!
The thunder lit up again, and this time, Li Jinglong was finally sure that he was not wrong.
Under the pale lightning, countless black iron armors emerged in the rain.
The armor plates glowed with a cold blue light, and the tiger head emblem of the Star Luo royal family was engraved on the armor plates on the chest of each person...
The steps were uniform, and every step seemed to step on the pulse of the earth, bringing up a large piece of water.
Just from the sound of the march, it can be heard that the quality of this army is not comparable to the soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Boom boom boom...!
At this time, as the armored force approached quickly, the sound of marching finally broke through the rain curtain and came over.
In the darkness, with boundless oppression.
"The army of Wu'an City is coming!"
At this time, someone shouted, and all the Heaven Dou soldiers on the city wall were tense in an instant. The hands holding the weapons unconsciously exerted force, and the knuckles turned slightly white.
Fear spread in their hearts like a tide.
Buzz——!
In the wilderness washed by heavy rain, bursts of horn sounded like dragon roars and tiger roars suddenly sounded.
"Who said I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raises his army, I will repair my spears and swords. I share the same hatred with you!"
"Gentlemen, blood debts must be paid with blood! Kill!!!"
In one day, two empires watched one person together!
