Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2349 Kaifeng Falls, Yang Jian Enters the City

Three days later, just past midnight, the only sounds on the walls of Kaifeng, besides the howling wind and the crackling of torches, were the weary snores of the defenders and the suppressed groans of the wounded.

The bloody battles that had lasted for several days had exhausted everyone's energy, and even the patrol teams seemed to be walking heavily and slowly.

Wansheng Gate, a city gate that was not the main direction of the Han army's attack, has now become the pivotal point that determines fate.

Zhang Jun, the city gate guard who had been transferred not long ago, stood in the shadows beside the gate, his hand on his sword, dressed in full military uniform. Behind him were dozens of his trusted subordinates, also fully armored and with tense expressions.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dark night sky outside the city, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Time seemed to stand still, each breath feeling like an eternity.

Sweat dripped from Zhang Jun's forehead; he could even hear the sound of his blood rushing through his veins.

If the plan changes, if the signal is not sent out from outside the city on time, if His Majesty finds out... he dares not think any further.

If this attempt fails, it will inevitably lead to certain death.

For a moment, he even wanted to back out!

Fortunately, fear did not completely overwhelm his reason. Even though he was very uneasy at this moment, he understood that the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released.

If he continues, he might still have a chance to survive. But if he gives up at the last minute, neither side will let him go, and that would be a true death sentence.

"call out!"

A blinding crimson light, like a flame from hell, suddenly tore through the night from the direction of the Han army camp, drawing a breathtaking parabola as it shot straight into the sky above Wansheng Gate!
Next up is the second one! And the third one!
Three rockets briefly left three scorching trails in the dark sky, like invitations from the Grim Reaper, clear and unmistakable!

coming!

Three rockets—a signal agreed upon beforehand by both sides!
At that moment, Zhang Jun's pupils contracted sharply, and he almost roared as he gave the order, "Quick! Lower the drawbridge! Open the city gates!"

The trusted soldiers who had been waiting by the winch used all their strength to push the heavy winch.

The chains creaked and groaned as the massive suspension bridge began to slowly lower.

Finally, with a loud "boom," the heavy drawbridge was laid heavily on the other side of the moat.

At the same time, several strong men worked together to move the heavy bolts and pushed open the two heavy iron-clad city gates!
"Light the torch! Send the signal!" Zhang Jun ordered again.

A torch was held high inside the city gate and waved vigorously, signaling to those outside the city that the road was now open!
The moment the city gates opened, the once silent darkness outside the city was suddenly filled with the sound of footsteps and the clanging of metal, like a surging tide!

Countless black figures, like ghosts emerging from hell, silently and swiftly charged towards the wide-open Wansheng Gate!
Leading the charge was Yang Jian, Xue Rengui's most formidable general. After all, while there were generals in the Han army stronger than Yang Jian, none of them were currently under Xue Rengui's command.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Wanshengmen has fallen!!"

Only then did the scattered garrison soldiers on the nearby city walls, who had been awakened, discover this earth-shattering event and sound a shrill and desperate alarm.

The sounds of gongs and horns rang out hastily, but they were like pebbles thrown into a raging torrent, instantly swallowed up by the tide of the Han army's charge.

"Zhang Jun, you scoundrel, you deserve to die!" Gao Huaide, who was leading a troop of soldiers to attack, happened to see Zhang Jun bowing and scraping to Yang Jian. At this moment, how could he not understand where the problem was?

Immediately, Gao Huaide let out a beast-like roar, his scarlet tiger eyes glaring, and charged at Zhang Jun with his gun.

He knew he was no match for Yang Jian, but at this moment someone had to step in and drive out the Han soldiers who had already stormed into the city.

Otherwise, today would be the end of Kaifeng.

As a general, even if it means death, one should die on the path of charging forward.

Moreover, Gao Huaide now hated Zhang Jun, the traitor, even more intensely. Even if he were to die, he would kill this traitor first.

On the battlefield, most generals do not hate the enemy generals, since it is a battle between two armies. What they hate most are those who turn against their side in the face of battle.

"Get out of the way, I'll deal with this guy!" Yang Jian brandished his three-pointed double-edged sword, shielding Zhang Jun behind him.

Although he also despised this two-faced, opportunistic man, the man had indeed rendered meritorious service to their Han Dynasty. Therefore, it was impossible to allow the Song army generals to harm him.

"Listen up, everyone! If I die, my lieutenant will take my place; if my lieutenant dies, my captain will take my place; if my captain dies, my rank will take my place! We must drive the enemy out!" Gao Huaide roared, then charged forward with his spear in hand.

"Ding, Gao Huaide's Martial King skill..."

He wanted to use his courage and passion to inspire the entire army.

Otherwise, if the enemy has already invaded and he, as the general, doesn't charge forward, how can the soldiers behind him possibly charge forward?
"He's quite a character!" Yang Jian exclaimed, but his hands moved swiftly, and his three-pointed double-edged sword thrust forward.

"When Yang Jian's Heavenly God skill is activated, his martial prowess increases by 5 during a one-on-one duel, and he can activate it a maximum of two times."

Yang Jian's martial prowess increased by 5, base martial prowess was 109, equipment increased by 2, martial god increased by 4, and current martial prowess increased to 120.

"Ding! Once Yang Jian's Heavenly Eye skill is activated, he can distinguish right from wrong and know cause and effect. In a one-on-one fight, there is a certain chance to detect the opponent's weakness and reduce the opponent's martial power by 1 to 5 points depending on the opponent's martial power level."

Gao Huaide's combat strength has decreased by 4, and his current combat strength has dropped to...

Yang Jian showed no mercy to Gao Huaide, going all out from the start.

To show a warrior no mercy is the greatest respect you can show them.

Although Gao Huaide also possesses Heaven-level strength, he is only at the early to mid-stage of the Heaven-level. Compared to Yang Jian, who is at the final stage of True God General, the difference in their strength is self-evident.

As he thrust his third-tier double-edged sword forward, he casually swung it, deflecting Gao Huaide's equally thrusting spear.

Then, the three-pointed double-edged sword continued its momentum, and as the two horses passed each other, the sword had already pierced into the opponent's chest.

Gao Huaide, a great general of the Song Dynasty, couldn't even last a single round against Yang Jian.

"Everyone, follow me and charge in!"

"Capture Zhao Kuangyin alive, and be ennobled and appointed general—it's just around the corner!" After killing Gao Huaide, Yang Jian roared to his soldiers behind him, then spurred his horse and charged into the Song army blocking his way.
