Chapter 155
"Quickly block the city gate! No time to lose!"
Dong Zhuo's voice penetrated the clamor with unquestionable determination. He stood on the top of the tower, his eyes like torches, tightly locked on the Guandong coalition army that was pressing step by step, as if he could penetrate the sea of people and look directly at the ambition of the enemy commander.
The alarm bells in his heart were ringing, and he knew that once this indestructible city gate became a breakthrough for the enemy, they would be like trapped beasts in a cage, with no way to escape.
However, the cruelty of fate was far beyond expectations. Under the city, the defeated soldiers surged like a tide, their fear and despair intertwined into chaos, blocking the city gate.
It should have been the strongest defense, but now it has become the most deadly bottleneck. The suspension bridge on the moat drooped heavily, like an arm that was powerless to lift it. No matter how hard he shook the capstan, he could not shake it at all, let alone pull it up.
Dong Zhuo's face was as dark as ink, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. "Archers, listen to my orders!" He shouted sternly, with a majesty that could not be disobeyed in his voice, "Aim at those who are blocking the city gates, shoot indiscriminately! Fight for a glimmer of life for our army!"
With a command, the archers on the city wall poured arrows on their brothers.
There was no way, as the saying goes, if a friend dies, the poor will not die. If they don't die, the butcher's knife will soon be on their heads.
Bursts of piercing bowstring sounds cut through the sky, followed by dense arrow rain, like the kiss of death, ruthlessly shooting at those soldiers who had lost their minds due to despair. Arrows cut through the air, with a piercing whistle, piercing flesh and blood.
Liu Yao had rehearsed thousands of times in his mind. Dong Zhuo's cold and ruthless orders, like the biting cold wind in winter, inevitably came with the breath of death. He raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were deep, as if he had everything under control.
"Brother Bogui, this time, let's see how your subordinates show their magical powers!" Liu Yao's words were full of expectation.
Gongsun Zan heard this, and a trace of determination flashed across his resolute face. He nodded heavily, then raised his arms and shouted, his voice piercing through the clouds and cracking the rocks, echoing on the battlefield: "Where justice leads, life and death follow! We swear to cast a chapter of loyalty with blood!"
"The sky can be a witness, and the white horse is a witness! Today, let us prove what loyalty and faith are with a fearless attitude!" As his passionate oath fell, the white horse followers beside him were like a ignited flame, with unyielding and fanatical eyes flashing.
They rode their horses and whipped their whips in unison, rushing towards the city wall like a tide, firing their strong bows and crossbows, arrows piercing the sky, turning into a dense black rain curtain, pouring down, and directly hitting the defense line of the Xiliang Army. Each arrow carries the determination and courage of the White Horse Volunteers, vowing to penetrate the enemy's defense line and protect this land.
The Bingzhou Legion, an iron army that has been conquering northern foreign tribes for many years, has shown its unparalleled combat effectiveness at this moment. They rely on three magic weapons to gallop across the grassland. BMW, armor, and crossbows make them invincible in battle.
In Youzhou and Bingzhou, the two legions fought fiercely with the Xiliang Army. On the city wall, arrows flew, the sound of metal clashing was endless, and the air was filled with thick blood and unyielding.
In an instant, on the top of the city wall, the figures of the Xiliang army were ruthlessly swallowed by the dense rain of arrows, like a lone boat in a storm, unable to resist, and forced to bow down to this dance of death. At the same time, the warriors of the Guandong coalition, with firm steps, have crossed the deep moat and rushed to the city gate like a tide, vowing to break the city in one fell swoop.
Liu Yao stood in front of the battle, his eyes like torches, penetrating the rain of arrows and gunpowder, accurately locking onto the figure on the city wall who was commanding and dispatching the Xiliang generals. He thought to himself that a distance of 150 steps was just a snap of a finger for him.
Then, Liu Yao slowly drew out the Overlord Bow on his back. This bow was simple and heavy, as if it contained the power to split mountains and rocks. He calmly put on the arrow, and the bowstring was taut, like the arc of a full moon, ready to go. His eyes flashed with determination and coldness, as if at this moment, the hustle and bustle of the entire battlefield had stopped.
On the city wall, Guo Si and Li Jue stood side by side, anxiously directing the soldiers to strengthen the defense line and resist the offensive that was surging like a tide. They had never expected that at this critical moment, they would become the target of the opponent's arrows.
Let's start with the two of you and end this meaningless resistance!
Liu Yao silently said in his heart, and his fingers loosened slightly. The arrow flew out instantly, piercing the sky, with unparalleled domineering and determination, and went straight to the top of the city.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on the arrow carrying destiny, witnessing the moment that was about to rewrite the situation.Guo Si and Li Jue were the twin stars under Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo was murdered by Wang Yun and Lu Bu in Chang'an, the Xiliang Army was like a headless fly without direction. They were originally going to disband the troops and flee back to their hometown. However, rumors spread that Wang Yun wanted to kill all the Xiliang Army.
Li Jue and Guo Si adopted Jia Xu's suggestion. Since the court was not going to let us go, we would fight them to the death. So the troops to counterattack Chang'an began to gather, and other troops continued to join along the way. When they arrived in Chang'an, there were already more than 100,000 people.
Lu Bu fled after his defeat, and Wang Yun was forced to jump off the city wall. Emperor Xian of Han fell into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si.
These two people were also two good players in the Xiliang Army.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two sharp wind-breaking whistles cut through the sky, like the whispers of the god of death, suddenly echoing over the battlefield.
Guo Si, the general who was standing on the top of the city wall and supervising the battle with a sharp gaze, suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if he was shrouded by an invisible shadow.
"Not good!"
Before he finished speaking, it was too late. A cold arrow, like a ghost in the dark night, accurately pierced his throat, bringing a string of blood flowers, gorgeous and deadly.
"Cough cough...!"
Guo Si's cough was drowned by blood, and every cough was like the fire of life struggling in despair. His eyes were wide open, full of unwillingness and astonishment. In the end, the light gradually dimmed, and his huge body lost its support, falling from the city wall like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily into the chaotic battlefield below, stirring up a cloud of dust and exclamations.
At the same time, almost at the same moment, Li Jue was not spared. A sharp arrow also ruthlessly pierced his body and pulled him down from the city wall. The two of them, one in front and one behind, in a tragic posture, became another tragic footnote in this cruel battle.
This scene was swift and tragic, shocking all the soldiers around. The noise of the battlefield seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only the heart-pounding sound of arrows piercing the flesh, echoing in the air for a long time.
Dong Zhuo was frightened by Liu Yao's two arrows and quickly called for the heavy shieldmen to come forward to protect his safety.
