The capital of the Luoyue Dynasty.
"Vermillion Bird Legion, kill!"
Ganning looked at the majestic capital of the Luoyue Dynasty in the distance and solemnly sounded the horn for the destruction of the Luoyue Dynasty to the great army.
"Shoot!!"
Xu Chu, wielding the Huoyun Saber, shouted loudly, his roars echoing in all directions!
The city walls of the Luoyue Dynasty capital were majestic and towering, and a direct assault was impossible. Liao Hua, Gao Shun, and Lu Kang led the Vermillion Bird Army, divided into two columns. One column was filled with archers, their bows drawn, and the blazing Southern Ming Fire tore through the void of Luoyue.
The other column featured trebuchets lined up in front of the army, massive stones carrying peerless killing intent, quietly awaiting deployment.
"Release!"
Lu Kang roared and drew the long sword at his waist!
"Release!!" Commanders waved their flags, relaying Lu Kang's orders.
Suddenly, the void whistled!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of arrows, burning with the crimson Southern Ming Fire, tore through the layers of air!!
As the arrows were loosed, thousands of colossal stones soared into the sky, causing the void to rumble and boom. With a deafening roar, the entire capital of the Luoyue Dynasty was filled with muffled thunder, as if blossoming everywhere, with smoke and dust tens of zhang high.
"Defend!!"
"Defend!!"
On the city walls, the soldiers guarding the capital shouted frantically, filled with despair. Since the Han army had penetrated their territory, their momentum had been swift, and the entire dynasty was in turmoil. Even their Human King had abandoned resistance and sought outside help.
In an instant, the arrow rain arrived first, the immense impact instantly piercing the soldiers' bodies, and the blazing Southern Ming Fire instantly crawled over them.
"Rumble!!"
Innumerable massive stones arrived violently. The first few stones did not blast through the thick city walls, but the cracked debris instantly carried away a wave of heads, their bodies exploding!!
"Boom!"
More massive stones descended, and with continuous bombardment, the majestic and thick city walls finally had a huge breach.
Countless crimson arrows streaked across the sky, their edges sharp and fierce!!
They instantly rushed into the capital of the Luoyue Dynasty, and for a time, the Southern Ming Fire raged and spread throughout the capital, plunging it into a sea of crimson flames!
"Kill!!"
"All of you, counterattack!"
"Even if we die, we must display the might of our Luoyue Dynasty!"
A general of the Luoyue Dynasty climbed onto the city wall and roared at the soldiers dodging the arrow rain. Even if the Human King had abandoned them, they should still protect their country!
"Screech!!"
Beside him, a soldier was shot into a sieve by the arrow rain in front of him, instantly turning to ashes by the Southern Ming Fire.
"Kill!" His fighting spirit waned slightly.
"Rumble!!"
The trebuchets continued to bombard, and countless massive stones flew through the air. The capital was almost devoid of houses and streets, filled everywhere with thick dust and smoke.
"Shoot!"
"Keep shooting!" Xu Chu roared, constantly shouting at his army. Countless arrows rained down densely, piercing the Luoyue Dynasty relentlessly.
After an unknown amount of time, the arrow rain was exhausted, and not a single stone was left. Some trebuchets even broke directly, indicating how many stones had been fired to cause a military trebuchet to shatter.
"Kill!!"
Xu Chu, wielding his Huoyun Saber, looked at the ruined city walls and the scattered soldiers of the Luoyue Dynasty.
"Kill!!"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers roared, slinging their bows onto their backs and raising their long weapons. Blood-soaked auras swept through the void. The soldiers of the Han army, their fighting spirit soaring, had faces filled with intense killing intent, cold and piercing.
Liao Hua, Lu Kang, and Gao Shun also took a step forward, following Xu Chu into the capital of the Luoyue Dynasty.
Xu Chu took the lead, his eyes flashing. He immediately locked onto a weakened general, his smile growing more intense!
"Slay!"
Xu Chu strode forward, his Huoyun Saber weaving a crimson river of blood. His gaze seemed to be tracking prey, and the Huoyun Saber in his hand emitted a blade light of ruthless sorrow. With one step, he reached the general, who was covered in blood.
At this moment, the defending army looked around with sorrow. They were filled with disappointment in their dynasty. For a glorious dynasty's capital, with all its civil and military officials, including the current Human King, no one except them, the defending soldiers, had rushed to the front line or directed the defense. How could they not lose? How could this country not perish?
"Kill!!"
In an instant, Xu Chu roared like a tiger in the mountains, the sky filled with sharp blade light, tearing through dozens of Luoyue Dynasty soldiers. His eyes did not waver, firmly fixed on the only general in the field!
"Swish!"
With one saber strike, the head of a blood-red tiger materialized behind Xu Chu. With a descending strike, it flashed with boundless blade light, blood light surging to the heavens!
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, Hahaha!!" The general looked frantically at the approaching blade light, with no fighting spirit at all. His country had utterly disappointed him. His faith had collapsed. He suddenly didn't know what he was fighting for.
"Ahhh!"
He endured the intense impact of the saber's power. The flesh on his face seemed to evaporate, carbonizing instantly. The bone within glowed with layers of flames, completely engulfing his entire head!
The next moment, the blade light arrived directly in front of him. His entire body was enveloped by flames, instantly shattering his flesh.
The blade light descended!!
Its boundless sharpness spread for hundreds of zhang!!
"Rumble!!"
Like a hungry tiger hunting, Xu Chu did not relax his attack. Even though the opposing general had lost his fighting spirit and his face was full of disappointment, he still unleashed his full power, striking directly down!!
"Buzz~~"
A streak of scarlet light pressed down on the surroundings!!
"Boom!!"
After devouring the general, the blade light pushed forward!!
"Rumble"
The scarlet blade light advanced an unknown distance, until finally the scarlet color was no longer visible, with dust and smoke covering everything!!
"Stomp, stomp, stomp!!"
Heavy footsteps echoed from a distance. As the dust dispersed, ten thousand elite soldiers emerged, their armor and equipment far superior to those of the defending soldiers.
"Hahaha!"
"This is more interesting!" Liao Hua, after killing dozens of soldiers with one saber strike, stopped and looked at the advancing soldiers of the Luoyue Dynasty. This army, both in terms of strength and overall equipment, was undoubtedly the Royal Guard, the personal guard of the Luoyue Human King.
The dense Royal Guard, from the forbidden gate of the palace to the straight avenue, continuously advanced towards the battlefield.
"Kill!!"
