Danger, Luckily an Immortal Came to the Rescue
Upon hearing the words of the Zhongli Legion commander, everyone shouted loudly, and a fierce aura rose from their bodies.
Zhongli Legion and Zhao Yun Corps clashed.
After a loud bang, Zhao Yun's and Zhongli's armies clashed. Both sides retreated several feet and then faced each other in a standoff. A great battle broke out instantly!
"Haha, Zhao Yun, your death is near!"
The commander of the Zhongli Legion laughed wildly, then shouted, "Brothers, kill them!"
"Kill them!"
In an instant, the troops of Zhongli Corps and Zhao Yun Corps clashed in the streets and alleys. The streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of fighting, shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and the sound of military tallies being cut to the ground.
"Bang!"
But the situation suddenly reversed. A traitor in Zhongli's army launched a sneak attack from behind. A general severed Zhao Yun's arm with a single stroke. Zhao Yun was so pained that his face turned as pale as paper, and he almost fainted. A shrill scream came out from Zhao Yun's mouth.
When Zhao Yun's soldiers heard that their lord was in danger, they panicked. Many generals fled from the enemy's sneak attacks, and some even gave up resisting and began to retreat into the Daliang City.
The defenders of Daliang City, witnessing Zhao Yun's army's utter defeat, wore mocking expressions. These soldiers, all hot-blooded men, were naturally indignant at the sight of Zhao Yun's rout and roared, "Kill them! Kill them all! Slaughter these invaders!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of Zhongli's army roared loudly, gripping their weapons tightly, and charged towards the Daliang City.
Seeing Zhongli's army charging forward, the defenders' faces flashed with disdain. They shouted, "Kill them! Don't be afraid! Slaughter these cowardly bastards and let them taste the might of the Great Liang army!"
"Kill!"
In an instant, the Liang army and Zhongli's army engaged in a fierce melee.
Zhongli's army was numerous, but lacked combat experience. When they encountered the Liang army, they dared not engage in direct combat. It wasn't that they were weak, but rather that Zhongli Daliang Legion soldiers were far superior in strength. The disparity in weaponry, Zhongli Corps, and soldier training was immense. Zhongli's soldiers were no match for the Daliang Corps, suffering heavy casualties under their ferocious slaughter.
"Report..."
Just as the battle reached its most brutal point, a general rushed over, his face filled with terror and fear.
"What's all this commotion about? What's with all the shouting and yelling? What kind of behavior is this!" Zhongli, the Zhongli commander, angrily rebuked the general who had come to report, his face grim.
"Report to Commander Zhongli Legion! Something terrible has happened! Daliang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Zhongli Legion has been captured by the Daliang Legion! Zhao Yun Corps's troops are slaughtering the Zhongli Corps's soldiers, causing our soldiers to retreat in disarray. They have now reached the gates of our camp!" the general shouted.
"You bastard!" Zhongli, the Zhongli commander, roared in fury upon hearing the general's words.
"Report..." Another general rushed over, knelt on the ground, his face filled with terror, and stammered, "Commander Zhongli Legion, the Zhongli Corps, the Zhongli Army... they've all been annihilated by Zhao Yun Corps..."
"What?"
Upon hearing the general's words, Zhongli Legion's expression changed drastically. He couldn't believe it; was it really true?
An army of over 15 million men was actually routed by Zhao Yun Corps in a single move. For a moment, Zhongli Legion was stunned, his face filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
"What's going on? What's going on?" an adjutant beside Commander Zhongli Legion asked, dumbfounded.
"Our Zhongli Corps was utterly defeated by the Daliang Corps. The Daliang Corps soldiers attacked our army like madmen. More than ten million Zhongli Corps were wiped out just like that. We couldn't even find their bodies. We're finished, completely finished!" The adjutant's face was filled with fear and resentment as he muttered to himself.
"What? More than ten million troops are gone just like that? Impossible, impossible, impossible..." Zhongli's legion commander stared at his adjutant in shock, his face ashen, muttering to himself, seemingly unable to accept this fact.
"Report... Reporting to the Zhongli Legion, Zhao Yun Corps has already stormed the city gates! We request that you withdraw your troops as soon as possible!" At this moment, a general rushed over, knelt down in front of Zhongli, and loudly reported.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Zhongli Legion's expression changed drastically. He looked at the general as if he were an idiot.
"Hmph, Zhongli Legion, the Zhongli Corps has already been defeated. Staying here any longer will only lead to certain death. You might as well leave as soon as possible!" another general shouted.
"That's right, we don't want to die with you either. I think we should leave here as soon as possible. We don't want to be surrounded by Zhao Yun's troops!" another general chimed in.
"Bastards!" Zhongli's face was ashen. He looked at the three generals kneeling on the ground and said angrily, "You, you bunch of good-for-nothings, how could you lose so much face? You bastards, not only will you lose a lot of troops, but it will also affect your future! Do you know that?!"
The three generals looked embarrassed upon hearing Zhongli's words.
A ferocious look appeared on Zhongli's face as he roared, "Get Laozi hell out of here! You're all a bunch Laozi good-for-nothings, a bunch of cowards! Over ten million of Zhongli's troops couldn't even defend a small Daliang City. What am Laozi supposed to do with you? Get Laozi hell out of here!"
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the three generals hurriedly got up and fled in panic with their dejected soldiers, fearing Zhongli's wrath.
Zhongli watched the three fleeing men, his facial muscles twitching, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He thought to himself, "That bastard Zhao Yun actually used such despicable and shameless methods! He deserves to die, that wretched scum!"
"Brother, what should we do now?" At this moment, one of Zhongli's adjutants walked up to Zhongli and asked in a low voice.
A resolute look flashed across Zhongli's face, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Laozi! I want to see just how strong that Laozi Zhao Yun is. I'll fight Laozi to the death!" With that, Zhongli raised his sword and roared, "Follow me! Fight your way into the city and get justice for our brother!"
Zhongli's legion commander took the lead, charging out of the Zhongli Legion gate with more than thirty lieutenants behind him. A group of generals followed behind Zhongli, rushing out of the city gate.
