Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2375 Wangxian City Finally Falls, Huotian True God Battles

Yan Xing, despite uniting with numerous powerful clans, did not concentrate all his forces to storm the city gates in order to let the Han army outside into the city.

After all, the original clan soldiers of these aristocratic families had long been forcibly dispersed by the Great Qian Dynasty, and the remaining forces were only a fraction of what they had.

Moreover, many of them are under the secret surveillance of Daqian. Jiang Xiaobai is not entirely at ease with them. Once the remaining forces of these families mobilize in large numbers, it will be difficult to hide from Jiang Xiaobai's sight.

In response, the people in the Net who were responsible for contacting these forces presented their plan.

These powerful families and the chivalrous heroes they had contacted pretended to burn down the granaries in the city, using this as a diversion to create an opportunity for Yan Xing to open the city gates.

In the city today, the forces connected by the Luo Net include not only Yan Xing and many powerful families, but also a group of chivalrous heroes from the martial arts world.

Jiang Chaoyu's fire previously caused the deaths and injuries of hundreds of thousands of people in Yangdong Road, and aroused the indignation of a large number of people.

Liu Fenyu, Wang Xiaoshi, Yan Nantian, Yan Shisan, Afei, Zhongyuan Yidianhong, Yi Tianxing and other masters, whether they were originally assassins or chivalrous heroes, all spontaneously launched their revenge.

Among these people are many experts, and the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) will naturally not give up such a force that can be easily utilized.

After the plan was finalized, Yan Xing and many powerful families began their operation.

Meanwhile, Yue Fei outside the city continued his relentless attack in the darkness. Naturally, Jiang Xiaobai was forced to remain atop the city wall.

However, having been secretly sending people to monitor the powerful families and influential clans in the city, he naturally received timely updates on their movements.

Upon receiving the message, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

No general would relax their defenses on such a crucial location as a granary. Compared to city walls, granaries are the true lifeline of a city's defenses.

Since these powerful and influential families have finally come forward, Jiang Xiaobai wants to take this opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

As expected, before the group of powerful families and chivalrous figures could even get close to the granary, Ji Lin led a group of Daqian soldiers to surround them.

The powerful families and martial arts heroes were already prepared for this, after all, they were just a decoy to attract Jiang Xiaobai's attention.

However, given the quality of these remaining clan soldiers, they still suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time when facing the valiant and skilled soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Fortunately, with the help of a group of grandmaster heroes led by Yan Nantian and Yan Shisan, they were able to resist by relying on their familiarity with the city's environment and the fact that the city's alleyway warfare weakened the army's numerical advantage.

The reason these powerful families were willing to risk their lives and become pawns was naturally because the Han Dynasty offered them a reward.

Furthermore, the fighting prowess displayed by the Han Dynasty in its campaigns against Yan and Song led these powerful clans to believe that Jiang Chaoyu could not possibly withstand Yue Fei and would inevitably suffer defeat sooner or later. This is why they were willing to risk their lives at this moment.

However, their deaths and injuries continued unabated. Even the two master assassins, Liu Fenyu and Zhongyuan Yidianhong, perished under the rain of arrows from the Daqian soldiers.

Although both of them were grandmasters, they were only at the early stage of grandmaster.

Moreover, as assassins, their greatest skill is to miss their target and then disappear into the distance, rather than engaging in a prolonged and arduous battle with a large number of soldiers.

Jiang Xiaobai, who was in charge of directing the defense from the city wall, finally smiled when he heard about the battle situation in the city.

Tonight, we've achieved two goals at once. Not only have we wiped out all the ambitious aristocratic families in the city, but we've also taken down many of the powerful clans that have been giving us so much trouble, severely damaging their arrogance. In the past year or two, these people have used every means imaginable—poisoning, seduction, or outright assassination—causing significant losses to officials at all levels, from the highest to the lowest.

Even his two brothers died in the assassination attempt.

Afterwards, with all-out efforts to strengthen defenses, these people were forced to return empty-handed, and several were even killed in the process.

However, seeing that they had no chance to target the higher-ups, these people started targeting the lower-ups, which made Jiang Xiaobai and his group extremely uncomfortable.

There are so many officers or officials at the lower levels, how could they possibly be able to guard against everything?
The death of one or two people at the bottom level has no impact on them at all, but once a large number of people are killed or injured, the final impact may even be greater than that on the higher-ups who are killed or injured.

On Jiang Qian's side, although he also gathered a large number of experts to surround and kill these people, he achieved very little success due to various reasons.

But tonight, I can finally get my revenge for what I did to him.

However, just as Jiang Xiaobai was feeling smug, a piece of bad news suddenly arrived.

"It's terrible, Your Highness! The west gate has been opened, and the Han army has entered the city."

"Who?"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "Who did this?"

"It's Yan Xing."

"What? How is this possible?"

Although Yan Xing was from Cang, Jiang Xiaobai actually trusted him quite a bit and didn't secretly send people to monitor him like those powerful and influential families did.

Ultimately, it all came down to Yan Xing's father-in-law, Han Sui.

Back then, when Han Sui was in Yangdong Road, in order to show his sincerity to the Great Qian Dynasty, he left himself no way out at all.

Even Ma Wanli, who was captured by the Daqian, was forced to hold the line at the front of the battle when attacking Zhennan City, on Han Sui's advice, so as to make the Zhennan army in Zhennan City hesitant to act.

It can be said that Han Sui also played a part in Ma Wanli's death.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Xiaobai naturally had no reason to be suspicious of Han Sui's son-in-law. Moreover, at this time, Yan Xing's family was still behind them.

It was precisely for this reason that a portion of the surrendered troops of the Zhennan Army were led by Yan Xinglai.

While Yue Fei was busy attacking the city day and night and the powerful clans were attacking the granary, Jiang Xiaobai was also stabbed in the back by Yan Xing.

"General Zhang, immediately take a force and make sure to retake Ximen!" Jiang Xiaobai, having calmed down, quickly ordered Zhang Xuanliang beside him.

There's still a chance if we can retake the West Gate.

As Zhang Xuanliang strode away, a great battle between the gods of heaven and fire was about to begin.
