"Stop them!!!"
Arrows and crossbow bolts soared through the sky, aiming at the massive bodies of the giant elephants.
"Enemy attack! We’re under attack!!"
The defenders of the city shouted loudly, ringing the alarm bells.
Suddenly,
The city walls were filled with Vietnase defenders clad in armor, wielding weapons, their faces filled with shock as they looked down upon the grim scene below the city.
Nearly thirty thousand soldiers ford up in orderly ranks, their killing intent soaring, surging straight towards the city.
Moo, moo, moo, moo—
The giant elephants, struck by so many crossbow bolts, emitted cries of agony.
Their long trunks flailed wildly, shaking the ground and cracking it open, demonstrating their terrifying power.
"It’s the Chinese army! The Chinese army!!!"
The lord of the city stood on the city wall in terror.
Earlier, their coalition army of over a hundred thousand had been defeated by Long Chen’s thirty thousand troops,
and the fear of Long Chen and his army had already spread among their own troops.
Therefore, their reaction was as such.
But what he didn’t expect was that Long Chen would lead his weary troops directly to continue their westward advance.
"Doesn’t he know the ancient saying of China, ’Wait at ease for the tired’?"
"My Vietnase army has been resting inside the city for a long ti, not to ntion the fully energized garrison inside the city,
and his army has already exhausted a lot of energy in previous battles, and now it’s more like the last resort!"
Thinking of this, the Vietnase lord quickly regained his confidence.
Yes, I’m afraid of birds.
Attacking a city is different from fighting head-on on a plain!
China has a famous military book that says: "The thod of using troops is to surround ten..."
And Long Chen’s army is less than thirty thousand, while my garrison is more than ten thousand.
There are also complete city defense equipnt, why be afraid of him!!!
Imdiately, the lord began to convey orders to defend the city with all his might.
At the sa ti, he organized the defenders and distributed the city defense equipnt.
"Where are my elite troops - the Elephant Soldiers?!"
Vietnase lord Ruan Wenqiang shouted.
In response ca the cries of the elephants.
More than two thousand Elephant Soldiers stood under the city, with the beastmasters seated high on the backs of the giant elephants, wielding crossbows,
and carrying a quiver on their backs.
The quiver contained crossbow bolts with blackened heads coated with poisonous substances, capable of causing instant death if struck in the throat.
If hit by a crossbow bolt, they will enter a state of poisoning, continuing to lose health.
This is a unique third-tier unit of Vietnam, although their numbers are few, each one is extrely powerful.
Long Chen, clad in silver armor, the Qingyun sword held high, looked coldly at the towering city ahead.
Imdiately raising the Qingyun sword representing his power, he shouted loudly:
"Soldiers!!!"
"The opportunity to break the enemy is right before our eyes."
"Today is the occasion for us to make a na for ourselves!"
"Follow , charge!!!"
With these words, Long Chen’s morale soared, and his combat power increased.
In midair, the ancient and mysterious runes drawn by the Qingyun sword erged and shone with a golden light!
In an instant,
The golden runes dissipated and turned into thousands of dazzling lights falling into the army behind him, enhancing their enchantnts.
After using this skill, Long Chen’s already fair complexion beca even paler.
Due to too many enchanted people, Long Chen’s stamina had decreased by more than half.
But the benefits were obvious, and all the attributes of the soldiers had been improved.
Although it only increased by one point, with more than thirty thousand people, the changes they produced would be qualitative, and the fighting power they ford would also be several tis higher.
This is the horror of the [Taiping Heavenly Book. Enchantnt]!!!
Rumbling,
As Long Chen’s army launched a charge, the entire ground trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.
The imposing montum made the defenders on the city pale in shock.
While observing the battlefield calmly during the high-speed charge, Long Chen did not miss any details.
At the sa ti, he gave orders based on the changing situation of the battlefield.
Using the high mobility and agility of Lu Bu’s Wolf Cavalry, he launched harassnt attacks on the Elephant Soldiers below the city from various directions.
anwhile, Zhuge Liang’s crossbown and archers used their powerful crossbow and arrow firepower to suppress the enemy archers on the city walls,
providing support for the Wolf Cavalry’s actions.
...
After a day of fierce battle, the city walls of this Vietnase city already bore the flags of China’s representation.
Fluttering in the wind.
And this was also the first city that China truly captured.
Because previously, although the Hell Ghost City was captured, it couldn’t be held.
After all, the main force of Sakura Country wasn’t defeated by Long Chen.
But now it’s different. The main force of Vietnam has been mostly eliminated by Long Chen’s army.
Having captured this city, Long Chen also has enough troops to defend it.
Standing on the city wall, Long Chen faced the wind and boldly proclaid:
"Why shouldn’t a man wield his sword, to gather the fifty states under his command!"
"Well said! Well said, Lord! Your literary talent surpasses mine!" praised Lu Bu, clapping his hands in admiration.
Having served as a chief aide in the provincial governnt under Ding Yuan in Bingzhou for several years and having studied for several years, he was familiar with certain poetic styles.
Therefore, upon hearing Long Chen’s inspired words, he couldn’t help but praise them.
Especially this poem was magnificent and lofty, soaring into the clouds.
It resonated deeply with the borderland soldiers. Lu Bu had spent ti on the frontier and naturally understood the aspirations of every borderland soldier.
As soon as this poem was spoken, it instantly ignited the emotions of the audience watching the live broadcast.
Because this is a parallel world, many poems that existed in Long Chen’s original world do not exist here.
...
"Ding! Congratulations to [Sword Leaning to Listen to the Wind] for capturing Ruan City, increasing the maximum troop limit by 30,000, replenishing in 24 hours..."
Long Chen’s mind received this prompt sound, feeling delighted.
Great, finally I can raise the total army size to 80,000.
Now, I wonder what type of troops these 30,000 are.
Upon checking, Long Chen found out that these 30,000 troops were all originally from the army of the Vietnase lord Ruan Wenqiang.
Among them were 2,500 third-tier troops - Elephant Soldiers, 7,500 second-tier troops - Poison Arrow Infantry (able to shoot arrows tainted with venom), and 20,000 ordinary foot soldiers.
Apart from the Elephant Soldiers and Poison Arrow Infantry being special units, the rest were ordinary foot soldiers, which was still quite good.
This would also provide better support for himself in the later stages of the Continental Qualifiers.
Just then,
Every participant in the Asian Qualifiers heard a global announcent like this:
"Ding! Global Announcent: China has captured two cities, earning 2 points, currently ranking first..."
The other four mbers of China’s team were stunned when they heard this.
This... Is this even possible?!!
Didn’t Sword Leaning to Listen to the Wind go to the Imperial City to assist the Emperor’s Sword against the attack from Sakura Country?
How... How did they also manage to capture Hell Ghost City, and moreover, imdiately defeat the main army of Vietnam...
It’s simply a battle of the gods!!!
Let’s just call him "Dragon God"...
Back in Ruan City,
After having the soldiers prepare a hot al and rest for the night to recover their strength,
On the second day, they began a new journey.
