Chapter 508 Breaking the city!
Long Jue charged forward on his horse, his spear “War Dragon” dancing like a dragon soaring into the sky: “Haha, watch me take the enemy general’s head!”
The golden and lightning-like internal energy seemed to be able to tear apart all obstacles.
He thrust out with his spear, and the energy flashed like lightning, instantly piercing through several enemy soldiers. Wherever the tip of the spear passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and no one could stop his attack.
Ji Bu carried a longbow "Chasing the Wind" on his back, and arrows poured down like rain.
His eyes were as fast as lightning, and every arrow he shot was accompanied by the sound of piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks. Green energy surrounded the arrows, making them even more swift, like chasing the wind and lightning, and no one could avoid their edge.
Arrows shot towards the top of the city like lightning, and the defenders fell down one after another.
The Overlord Cavalry poured into the city like a tide, trampling the enemy with their iron hooves, waving their weapons, and reaping the lives of the enemies.
On top of the city walls, there are densely packed city defense devices and traps made by the Mohists.
However, under the sudden attack of Xiang Yu and others, these weapons were destroyed by them with thundering force before they could be used.
Xiang Yu swung his halberd, and the powerful force smashed the city defense equipment into pieces.
Gonggong was not to be outdone. He wielded the heavy Xuanzhong Zhenhai Ji with ease in his hand. The deep blue energy surged out like a tide, smashing the city defense equipment into pieces.
Long Qie and Ji Bu on the side were also extremely brave. Long Qie thrust out with his spear, and the energy flashed like lightning, instantly smashing a city defense device into pieces.
Ji Bu's arrows were surrounded by aura, like chasing the wind and lightning. With one arrow, a city defense device was shot into pieces.
The defenders of Quewang City were suddenly a little panicked. They had never seen such a swift attack.
They tried to resist the attack of Xiang Yu and others, but under the iron hooves of the Overlord Cavalry, their resistance seemed so powerless.
Every time Xiang Yu swung his halberd, he could cut several enemy soldiers in half.
Gong Gong beside him also swung his halberd with each blow, and the strong energy surged out like a tide, pushing the enemy army to the ground.
Long Qie and Ji Bu were also invincible, waving their weapons wildly to reap the lives of their enemies.
At this moment, Xiang Yu and Gong Gong, who were the leading spearheads, seemed to have become the masters of the entire battlefield.
No one dares to compete with him.
Under their leadership, the Overlord Cavalry was like a broken bamboo, and they went straight to Huanglong.
Soon, under the sudden attack of the two top war gods, the gate of Quewang City collapsed quickly, the city walls were shattered, and the defenders fled in all directions.
Xiang Yu, who broke into the city, took the lead and rushed straight to the core of the city. Wherever he passed, countless King Que's troops fled, and no one could withstand the power of his halberd.
Long Qie and Ji Bu followed closely behind, each displaying their unique skills and killing countless enemies. Gonggong was like a tiger descending from the mountain, invincible.
In a short while, the Overlord's Cavalry poured in one after another behind Xiang Yu and others.
On various Mohist facilities near the city gates of Quewang City, the flags representing the Dayong Dynasty and Quewang fell one after another, and were replaced by the flags of the King of Western Chu, flying high, announcing another glorious victory.
At this time, in the Quewang Mansion, the core area of the center of Quewang City, the lights were bright and the sounds of stringed instruments were endless.
King Que, the overlord of the Dayong Dynasty, was now immersed in drinking and having fun with his many beautiful concubines and wives, being extremely licentious and completely ignoring the impending storm outside the city.
Inside the mansion, gold, silver, and jewelry were piled up like mountains, rare antiques were displayed in an endless array, and the air was filled with the smell of luxury and corruption.
The King of Sparrow was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a jade crown on his head and a wine glass in his hand. He had a comfortable smile on his face as he flirted and played with the beautiful concubines and wives around him, as if the whole world was intoxicated by his joy.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the cheerful atmosphere in the mansion.
A guard general, wearing armor and with an anxious look on his face, rushed into the King of Que's palace.
His name was Lei Zhen. He was tall and strong, with a face as red as a date, fluttering hair and beard, and his eyes revealed an indomitable fighting spirit.
"Lei Zhen, why are you so panicked?" Lei Zhen's intrusion startled the King of Sparrow. He almost dropped the wine glass in his hand. He frowned and looked at Lei Zhen, asking unhappily.
"Your Majesty, something terrible is happening! The bandit leader Xiang Yu from Jiangdong has broken into the city with his Overlord Cavalry. The defenders are unable to resist. The city gates have been breached and the walls have been shattered."
"The Overlord Rides like a whirlwind into an empty space, unstoppable, and goes straight to Huanglong."
"Please respond quickly, Your Majesty."
Lei Zhen looked solemn. He knelt on one knee and bowed to report.
Upon hearing this, King Que's expression changed drastically, and the wine glass in his hand finally fell, splashing a cloud of wine.
"Xiang Yu? How could he be so brave? How could our Quewang City be breached so easily?"
He stood up, looked at Lei Zhen in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is extremely brave and his power is even greater after he uses his inner energy."
"Besides, Gonggong, Long Qie, Ji Bu and others around him are also extremely brave, and the Overlord Cavalry is even more powerful."
"Our army has been at ease for a long time, and our vigilance has been gradually reduced. We never expected that they would attack so suddenly. Now, the city is in chaos, and the king must make a quick decision."
Lei Zhen was stunned for a moment, then bowed and smiled bitterly.
When the King of Sparrow heard this, he was frightened, but as a local overlord, he still had some decisiveness.
"Lei Zhen, quickly gather the soldiers in the city, gather all the men who can fight, and gather them in front of the palace."
"At the same time, order the craftsmen and Mohist disciples in the city to use the complex terrain and traps in the city to set up defenses. Use these advantages to temporarily resist the attack of Xiang Yu and Overlord Cavalry."
"Also, send people to the surrounding counties to mobilize troops. The bandit leader Xiang Yu is alone in the deep, and I think he won't be able to last long!"
He pondered for a moment, finally made up his mind, and gave instructions to Lei Zhen.
Lei Zhen was invigorated upon hearing this, and said, "As you command, Your Majesty. I will do it immediately."
Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.
"Also, pass the order down and ask the people in the city to take action and help us resist the enemy."
"Tell them that this is for the defense of King Que City, for our survival."
"Let them take up arms and fight with us. Tell them that as long as they are willing to work hard, I will never treat them unfairly."
The King of Sparrow called him again and added.
Lei Zhen was stunned for a moment, his expression a little complicated. Let the people resist the wolf-like and ferocious Overlord Cavalry?
But in the end, he could only nod in agreement, turned around and left in a hurry.
The King of Sparrow looked at his back, feeling a sinister feeling in his heart.
Even facing such a desperate situation, he did not want to give up Quewang City easily, and would not let the bandit leader Xiang Yu succeed easily.
However, at this moment, a beautiful concubine suddenly threw herself into the King's arms, crying and saying, "Your Majesty, we don't want to die! You must protect us!"
Her voice was trembling in its tenderness, which made King Que feel irritated.
The King of Sparrow pushed the beautiful concubine away and angrily shouted, "Why are you crying? I am not dead yet! Listen to me, this is an extraordinary period. If anyone dares to disrupt the morale of my army, I will never let him off easily!"
At this moment, the furious King Que's voice was full of cruelty, causing everyone in the palace to fall silent.
