"They're here!"
Looking at the Xiliang army heading straight for him, Li Anlan's eyes showed no fear, only a terrifying calmness.
Even when the outer perimeter of Great Ning was torn apart, he did not immediately take action. Instead, he waited until the Xiliang army had completely penetrated his own ranks before his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time; the time for his counterattack had arrived!
"Kill!"
Li Anlan waved his hand, instantly appearing as if he had returned to his former glory, and roared, "Warriors of Great Ning, follow me to slay the invading enemy! Whoever captures the rebel Lin Yi alive will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
He really went all out with this move.
In any case, if we don't take down Lin Yi, the Great Ning Dynasty will be finished. We might as well let them fight it out; maybe they'll still have a chance to turn things around.
[Promoted three ranks in a row!!!]
[A thousand taels of gold!]
These two rewards immediately ignited the excitement of the Great Ning. Their eyes gleamed with greed, and their entire being was filled with longing. Their morale soared to its peak.
Not to mention being promoted three ranks in a row, this is practically a meteoric rise.
The remaining thousand taels of gold were even more extraordinary, enough to make them rich overnight. It was a reward that offered both wealth and fortune, and they couldn't refuse it.
Due to the information blockade, ordinary soldiers had no idea of the dire situation Great Ning was in. They thought it was just a temporary setback and that the emperor still had a chance to turn things around, so this reward was really tempting!
"Long live the Emperor! I am willing to lead the charge!"
"Kill them!"
"Capture the traitor Lin Yi alive!"
A generous reward always brings forth brave men. At Li Anlan's command, the Great Ning went berserk!
The Great Ning, who had been lying in ambush, were not afraid of the Xiliang's arrow rain and immediately launched a frenzied firing mode, with a barrage of arrows heading straight for the Xiliang army that was charging forward.
This terrifying arrow formation was so formidable that even the Xiliang army had to retreat in fear.
At the same time, the Great Ning cavalry headed straight for the flanks of the Xiliang army, intending to sever the army's communication and annihilate the Xiliang army.
"I am Qu Yi, under the command of the Northern Emperor, responsible for the frontal assault on the enemy lines, Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, fighting to the death!"
"I am Xing Daorong, General of Lingling! You tyrant, come out and face your death, or we will fight you until not a single soldier remains!"
"I am Lü Fengxian, a general under the Northern Emperor. Who dares to fight me!"
"I am Zhao Zilong, a general under the Northern Emperor, ordered to kill the tyrannical Emperor Li Anlan. Those who surrender will be spared!"
"..."
Under the combined attack of Lü Bu and others, the enemy's first line of defense was breached in an instant without even making a ripple, and the army poured into Xuanwu Gate.
What greeted the Xiliang army was a sudden, overwhelming rain of arrows.
This prompted Lin Yi to sneer, and he said quietly, "As expected of Li Anlan, he's quite the schemer. But unfortunately, the gap between the two sides is too large. It will be difficult for him to defy the heavens."
He was at the forefront, Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors; they weren't afraid of arrows.
Ding ding ding!
Arrows rained down on the shields of the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, sparking bursts of fire that sent chills down the spines of onlookers. But the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors showed no fear, charging forward with their shields raised high.
Both sides exchanged fire wildly as they advanced, a spectacle that seemed to eclipse the very heavens and earth!
"My lord, two cavalry units have been spotted on both sides. Li Anlan is probably trying to catch us off guard!" Wang Yue hurried over and whispered.
"This set again?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but sneer. Li Anlan really wouldn't give up until he was completely cornered.
Since that's the case, then let's first execute your cavalry.
He glanced at Lü Bu and Zhao Yun, and said in a deep voice, " Fengxian, Zilong, each of you choose one side. I will have the other armies cover you!"
"Yes, sir!"
After exchanging a glance, Zhao Yun pulled on the Lü Bu and headed straight to the right, where a cavalry force was charging towards them—it was their chance.
"My lord, await Lü Bu's good news!"
Watching his retreating figure, a smile flashed in Lü Bu's eyes. Since he chose the right, he would choose the left.
With a swing of his Sky Piercer, Lü Bu roared, "Brothers, follow me and charge!"
He took the lead and headed straight for the enemy. He soon spotted the enemy cavalry's position, and his eyes lit up.
Faced with the enemy's massive attack, he showed no intention of avoiding them, but instead charged directly into the enemy ranks.
With a swift swing of his Sky Piercer, he relentlessly reaped the lives of his enemies, soldiers falling one by one at his hands, yet none of this could stop him in the slightest. This action instantly provoked the enemy general's dissatisfaction, and they began a frenzied attack on Lü Bu, with five elite soldiers rushing straight at him.
Lü Bu snorted coldly, and his Sky Piercer instantly drew an arc, emitting a piercing explosion.
Pfft!
A burst of blood-red light shot out, and several elite soldiers from the Great Ning Army in front of him were sent flying backward.
After easily dispatching the other two, Lü Bu immediately headed straight for the enemy's commander, for killing the enemy naturally begins with eliminating the commander.
The enemy general was an old veteran. He had sent several trusted men to deal with Lü Bu and thought victory was assured.
"Not good!"
But upon seeing this scene, he felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he raised his broadsword, he felt a gust of wind and instinctively raised his broadsword to block it.
Pfft!
The Sky Piercer crushed his blade and slammed into his chest. In less than one exchange, he was completely killed.
Seeing this, Lü Bu couldn't help but sneer, "With such meager skills, you dare to attack my Xiliang army? You're simply courting death!"
He then roared and charged directly at the enemy cavalry, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
On the other side, Zhao Yun's Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Spear was also stained with blood, his white robe was covered with the blood of his enemies, but the Dragon Courage in his hand did not stop at all, but instead became even faster!
After the cavalry battle broke out, another person became very anxious, namely Qu Yi.
He was the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, and now someone else has beaten him to it. Isn't that a slap in the face?
Qu Yi's eyes suddenly turned fierce.
His gaze swept past the infantry of Great Ning, then averted, landing on the archers. He said in a deep voice, " Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors, charge forward with shields! Let them see who the real archers are! Kill them all!"
Of the enemy's large army, only archers could pose a threat to Xiliang!
Let's destroy it first!
Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors is like trying to Lord Guan to wield his axe—it's utterly self-humiliating.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Enraged, the Vanguard Dare-to-Die Warriors instantly went berserk.
They forcefully charged forward using their shields, instantly capturing a key position, followed by a continuous stream of troops.
Splash!
The next moment, the archers behind the shields fired, unleashing a volley without hesitation. Countless arrows rained down, instantly bringing the already tense battlefield to a standstill.
With this level of coverage, targeting is no longer necessary; it's simply a matter of mass attacks.
