Chapter 257 Ran Min's Bravery
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Ji Sui and Li Xiuning suddenly looked at Ran Min who was standing like a sculpture below. The 100,000 troops had been attacking for most of the day, but they still hadn't taken Julong City. Could it be that the 10,000 beggars under his command could do it?
"Sir?"
Ran Min also looked at Jia Xu above, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. What exactly Jia Xu was planning, even he had no idea.
"No need to ask, attack the city."
Jia Xu looked calm, and spoke in a calm and unquestionable tone. Ran Min also nodded slightly, looked at the battle formation behind him, raised the double-edged spear in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Beggars, attack the city!"
"Kill!"
Ten thousand men shouted vigorously, with a spirit of overwhelming power. Ran Min looked at the tower in the distance, jumped on his horse, holding a hook halberd in his left hand and a double-edged spear in his right hand, and galloped away vigorously.
In a short moment, 10,000 beggar soldiers came to the tower under the rain of arrows from the tower, and climbed up the tower along the ladders set up by the new army soldiers.
"Kill!"
An old soldier climbed up the tower, holding a broadsword, and chopped down a guard in front of him in two or three strokes. Four or five guards came up to surround and kill him, but they were no match for him.
Under the tower, a team of beggar archers lined up below, holding bows to fight back, and rounds of arrows and towers shot back, and people were constantly shot to the ground.
"Hiss!"
Ji Sui looked at this scene with an extremely surprised expression. These beggar soldiers were like a group of veteran soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time. They were decisive and skilled, and could kill the enemy with the fastest speed and the simplest method.
"Go!"
Ran Min also rode his horse to the tower, raised the double-edged spear in his hand, and threw it towards the wall. With a clang, the double-edged spear in his hand was directly inserted into the middle of the wall.
"Archers, suppress them."
Ran Min shouted, and jumped high from his horse's back, stepped on the double-edged spear thrown on the city wall, and with the help of the ricochet, the spear body trembled violently and jumped onto the tower.
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
"Mighty!"
The soldiers of the Qihuo Army below were like worshipping their own god of war, holding their weapons high above their heads, shouting in unison, their eyes full of fanaticism.
"Awesome..."
Ji Sui also uttered two words lightly, and did not speak for a long time. He did not expect that the man who often talked with him on weekdays would be so amazing and even terrifying.
Li Xiuning's eyes were also filled with a touch of horror. In her impression, only the people below the Shengwang Palace had such bravery.
"The whole army will attack the city."
Seeing that Ran Min had already rushed to the tower, Li Xiuning did not hesitate and directly ordered the whole army to launch a general attack. 100,000 troops rushed towards Julong City.
On the tower, as Ran Min charged in, the surrounding defenders rushed over in groups, determined to kill him under the city.
"You don't know whether to live or die."
Ran Min's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he swung the hook halberd in his hand, sweeping the tip of the halberd across, directly knocking down the seven or eight defenders who rushed up to him.
"Quick, kill him for me."
"Whoever kills this colleague will be promoted three levels."
An armored general looked at the burly man in front of him with a look of horror, his eyes full of fear.
The scene of him rushing up the tower just now had already scared the defenders out of their wits. He went up the tower several feet high just like that. Is he still a human being?
However, there must be brave men under a heavy reward.
More than a dozen defenders holding long spears stabbed at Ran Min in a swarm. More than ten long spears intertwined and stabbed Ran Min's chest, but he jumped up and stepped on the intertwined long spears. He swept across and heads fell one by one.
"Kill!"
"Take Julong City before sunset."
Seeing their general's bravery, the soldiers of Dayu were like chicken blood, rushing to kill the soldiers on the tower.
At the other end of the tower, Lu Shaoyang looked at the dark army in front of him, with a deep luster in his eyes, and said calmly: "How long will it take for my father's army to arrive?"
"Reply to the young master, it will take at most one day to reach Julong City."
"Okay, keep an eye on each section of the tower for me. When my father leads the army to kill, it will be the end of this new army."
"Yes!"
As soon as a general finished speaking, a group of figures flew out of the air on the other side and fell in all directions.
Lu Shaoyang's face suddenly changed, his eyes fixed on one direction, looking at a figure holding a halberd, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
"Go, kill that enemy general for me."
"This man is too threatening. If we don't eliminate him, something unexpected may happen."
"Yes!"
Several generals holding weapons rushed towards Ran Min, but after a few rounds of fighting, all their heads fell.
"General, the western section of the tower can no longer be defended."
"That general holding the halberd is simply a monster. More than a hundred of our brothers have died at his hands."
"You generals are no match for him. General Li and General Lin were all killed in the battle."
Lu Shaoyang's face was gloomy. Seeing more and more enemy troops rushing up the tower, he clenched his fists and shouted, "Archers shoot him to death. Kill this man at all costs."
"The King of Huai is plotting treason. Your Majesty's army is about to arrive. Those who surrender will be spared."
"Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy."
Ran Min shouted, bounced his feet, jumped high, swung his hook halberd, and directly cut down the king's flag flying on the tower.
Many people were stunned. The rebels were all terrified, while the soldiers of the New Army and the Qihuo Army were extremely excited and shouted wildly.
"Kill!"
...
Inside Julong City.
Ning Fan followed the Cai family's caravan and successfully entered Julong City. The doors of the shops on the street were closed. Occasionally, there were a few civilians, but they were also driven back home by the patrolling army.
"Quick, speed up."
"The young master has ordered all soldiers to resist the enemy immediately. The South Gate can no longer be defended."
"What are you doing?"
Teams of soldiers quickly ran towards the South Gate, and even most of the defenders in the North Gate were transferred there. Qin Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "It's really chaotic!"
"When the King of Huai expanded Julong City, my old master asserted that the King of Huai had the intention of rebellion. I didn't expect that it would eventually come to this."
"What a pity..."
Looking at Qin Yuan's face full of emotion, Ning Fan shook his head slightly and said softly: "The King of Huai made an unprecedented contribution, and the late emperor had high hopes for him. He was granted a title of king and a fiefdom. He was a high-ranking official and dominated the area. "
"From that moment on, the ending was already doomed."
"After all, no one with 300,000 soldiers would be willing to live in a corner. I'm afraid that King Huai himself didn't expect that he could endure for so many years."
"Master Zhao, there is a war going on in the south of the city now. We may not be able to leave the city for a while."
"It doesn't matter."
Ning Fan smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "Qin Bo will settle down first. My relatives are in Julong City. When I have the chance, I will visit Cai Mansion in person."
"Oh?"
Qin Yuan showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then nodded heavily: "Okay, then it's a deal. When you visit, my Cai family will definitely welcome you."
"See you later."
