Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2197 The Siege and Defense of Martial Emperor City: The Holy Ancestor

"Long Zhen, Zi Xu, you two attack the south gate and the north gate!"

"I will personally lead the attack on the east gate!"

"promise."

Long Zhen and Wu Zixu immediately clasped their hands in acceptance of the order.

At Fu Youde's command, 40,000 Han soldiers left the camp, pushing siege engines such as catapults, siege towers, crossbows, and battering rams, and began to surround the three gates.

This is a standard siege tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one side open. Although their warships cannot carry a large number of siege machines, their numbers are still limited.

However, the situation is definitely much better than in Wudi City.

The situation in Wudi City is special. This place was once the hometown of Emperor Wu, and it was also the place where Emperor Wu lived in seclusion in his later years.

Before Emperor Wu passed away, he could not bear to see his unique skills lost. Therefore, he openly left behind three sets of martial arts techniques—one fist, one palm, and one finger—at his place of seclusion, which everyone in the world could learn.

However, throughout history, most people can only learn the basics. Even among celestial-level masters, very few can truly grasp the essence.

These three sets of ultimate techniques contain the essence of Emperor Wu's martial arts skills throughout his life. In Emperor Wu's hands, he would be invincible, but in the hands of others, it might not be so.

Those who haven't reached the required level, even if they are celestial beings, will only end up with a poor imitation.

But when one's realm is sufficient, and one has already gone far among the celestial beings, one often no longer needs to learn the martial arts of the Martial Emperor, and can only use them as a reference.

Therefore, it is possible to be naturally compatible with one of these three cultivation methods even when one's cultivation level is not high enough; such a person might not be encountered even once in a hundred years.

Of course, the most precious thing Emperor Wu left behind was not these three martial arts techniques, but his insights into martial arts, which, over the centuries, were only obtained by Wang Xianzhi.

However, Wang Xianzhi's success and failure both stemmed from Emperor Wu's enlightenment.

Because of this Martial Emperor's enlightenment, he came into contact with the world of the Celestial-Human Limit ahead of time. This allowed him to achieve harmony with heaven and earth in the Martial Emperor City during the late stage of the Celestial-Human Realm, making him no weaker than the peak Celestial-Human Realm within the city.

However, this also became a cage that trapped him. Without breaking free from this cage, his martial arts could not progress to the next stage.

Wang Xianzhi had too many good opportunities and her life was too smooth, but that doesn't mean it will always be a good thing.

Because the legacy of the Martial Emperor is preserved here, and instead of keeping it to themselves, it is openly shared for all to learn from, it has become a sacred place in the hearts of martial artists, making it a city of martial arts.

During the Great Cang era, the city was only symbolically guarded by some garrison troops or officials. After all, although the imperial court suppressed the martial arts world, it was better to guide than to gamble, and they had to give the martial arts people an outlet.

Under such circumstances, with the garrison and officials being deployed only symbolically, it is natural that a large number of various defensive weapons would not be kept on standby.

"Reporting to the general, Generals Wu and Long are now fully prepared. Catapults, siege towers, and other supplies are all in place, and we are ready to attack the city at any time," a captain reported.

"it is good."

Fu Youde, the main attacker from the east, nodded, then drew his long sword from his waist, pointed it to the sky, and shouted, "Attack the city!"

"promise."

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately waved their battle flags, followed by the sounding of war drums, and all 40,000 Han soldiers roared in fury.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"Ding, Fu Youde's Wu Jing skill has been activated."
Wu Jing, meaning "martial spirit stands between heaven and earth, and pacifies the mountains and rivers forever," has a certain probability of awakening after death if he is given the posthumous title of Wu Jing.

Effect 1: When commanding troops in battle, the commander's rank increases by 2.

Effect 2: When facing enemies or charging into battle, attack power +4.

Thirdly, it can significantly enhance the army's combat power, morale, and speed...

Effect 4: When fighting on water, the commander's strength is increased by 1 and the combat strength is increased by 2.

"As soon as Fu Youde's Wu Jing skill effect is activated, his leadership increases by 2, his base leadership is 97, and his current leadership rises to 99." With a wave of Fu Youde's hand, a whole row of catapults within the Han army formation thunderously slammed into the enemy.

The vast majority of the 30,000 soldiers in the city had never experienced a battlefield and were seeing such a scene for the first time.

Although similar instructions had been given during training, many people were still a beat too slow to react at this moment. They smashed the oil canisters on the city wall, and flames rose up in all directions, affecting those who were slow to react.

This wave of attacks directly or indirectly affected hundreds of people.

It is evident that there is a gap between these new recruits and veterans.

If it were a veteran, upon discovering that the enemy catapult was about to launch its attack, he would have already taken cover in a blind spot before the catapult even launched its attack.

"Stay calm, everyone stay calm, don't panic, quickly hide!" Captain Peng Qi shouted in command.

Peng Qi, Li Gun, and a few others were among the few Liangshan members who, instead of being incorporated into Song Jiang's faction, joined the peasant uprising army under the Celestial Masters sect.

However, his shouts seemed to have very limited effect.

Apart from the soldiers closest to him, they responded promptly to his instructions.

The rest remains in complete chaos.

Especially those who were hit head-on by the kerosene canisters were instantly turned into living people, howling and calling for help from all directions.

However, if it is only affected by the fire, it is possible to extinguish it with sand in time, and at most it will only result in burns.

Those hit head-on have no time to extinguish the fire.

On the contrary, the surrounding soldiers became even more demoralized after seeing the miserable state of these people.

"The enemy soldiers are even more useless than I imagined!" Fu Youde, who was giving orders below, muttered to himself.

Although he knew that the enemy's troops were mostly composed of new recruits, their performance still surprised him greatly.

Judging from this performance, it's likely that there are very few veterans among the enemy's troops.

If there were some veterans involved, even if they were leading the way, the team wouldn't have performed so poorly.

"Pass down the order: fire three more rounds!"

"After three rounds, I will personally lead the troops to the first assault!"

Upon realizing this situation, Fu Youde immediately had the idea of ​​striking while the iron was hot.

Taking advantage of the enemy's inferior troop quality, we launched a fierce assault on the city.

After all, although the battlefield is cruel, it is the place where a soldier matures the fastest.

If we don't take it down quickly, these soldiers will adapt in a few days, and even if they can't compare to the veterans, it will be much more difficult to take it down again.

After three rounds, Fu Youde indeed personally led his troops to the first stop.

Since the enemy did not have large siege engines such as catapults and ballistae, and even things like logs and thunderstones, they could not prepare much overnight. Even demolishing houses could not have been done so quickly.

Therefore, after suffering some casualties, Fu Youde actually managed to storm the city wall on the very first day.

Ling Zhen and Shan Tinggui joined forces to stop him, but he slaughtered them all with ease.

Just when it seemed that no one could stop Fu Youde and he was about to attack, Xuan Yuanxuanxiao, the crown prince of the Great Yan, actually led a troop of soldiers to block him.

"Ding, Xuanyuan Xuanxiao's skill 'Holy Ancestor' has been activated..."
