After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

"Come on, rush on me!"

"Kill, kill for me!"

……

Accompanied by angry shouts, the battle outside Luoye City has entered an extremely brutal stage.

The rebels were covered in blood, and even when facing the elite northern barbarians, they were in a state of decline, but no one retreated a single step.

When the person in front falls, the person behind immediately takes his place, and they continue to fall one after another.

In such a brutal war, the city of Luoye was filled with corpses, piled up like mountains, like small mounds of earth.

At this time, no one cared whether the person lying on the ground was dead or not. They were just swept forward to face the fierce attack of the Northern Barbarians.

Just under the endless yellow sand, corpses fell one after another. The flowing blood, even the quicksand, solidified at this moment, revealing a bright red color, like a solidified blood scab.

Li Zhongwu climbed to a high place and looked into the distance, his face as gloomy as water as he watched the extremely fierce battle in front of him.

At this moment, even without counting the casualties, he could tell that they had suffered heavy losses just by looking at the bodies lying on the ground.

Not to mention that if we really count the casualties later, the casualties will be even greater.

He slowly raised his head, his cold eyes passing over the fierce battle in front of him and looking towards Luoye City, just in time to meet Xianyu Anrong's eyes.

Xian Yu Anrong's lips curled up in a hint of coldness, the provocation in his expression was obvious.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhongwu felt a surge of anger in his heart. He couldn't help but clench his fists hidden in his sleeves, and veins bulged on his forehead.

However, in the end, he still opened his fists. He was not blinded by anger and did not forget the purpose of their trip.

The morale of the northern barbarians is high now.

It would not be wise to send troops to attack again.

Of course, if we could wipe out all these northern barbarian troops in one fell swoop, then this would certainly be a good result, as it would help restore the morale lost in this defeat.

However, this was just his wishful thinking. He knew very well that once he sent out his elite troops, the Northern Barbarians on the field would immediately return to the city, and he would be unable to do anything to them.

Moreover, although he did not send out elite troops this time, the defenders on the Beiman City had not taken action from beginning to end. Even if he sent more troops, he would not necessarily gain an advantage.

At that time, not only will you not be able to avenge your immediate grievances, but you may even end up losing both your wife and your army, which would be truly a loss.

The only option for them now is to withdraw their troops and regroup.

Besides, the troops he sent out this time were not elite. His purpose was to test the strength of the Northern Barbarians. Although they suffered a crushing defeat, they did find out something.

Judging from the fact that the Northern Barbarians took the initiative to attack just now, this Northern Barbarian military advisor is well aware of his own advantages and will not just defend the city blindly, so ordinary seduction will definitely not work.

He now has to come up with a better solution as soon as possible.

However, the more important thing at the moment is to withdraw the wrong troops in front, otherwise the casualties will only increase.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, even though his heart was filled with helplessness and guilt.

"Pass on my order, sound the retreat!" He glanced at the generals, his voice firm but with a hint of helpless sigh.

"What? Withdraw troops?" Upon hearing this, all the generals were stunned and everyone looked at Li Zhongwu in disbelief.

You know, the fighting is at its most intense right now, so what's the point of withdrawing troops now? Will their brothers die in vain?
"General, please think twice. I am willing to lead the troops to attack and kill all those bastards!" A young deputy general shouted angrily with a red face, obviously irritated by the tragic atmosphere in front of him. His voice was extremely angry, which aroused the blood of the generals around him.

"That's right, we can't just retreat like this. If we retreat, how will the northern barbarians look at us?" Another general echoed, with flames of anger flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear all the enemies apart.

"General, if we withdraw now, what will happen to the brothers who died earlier? Are we going to let them die in vain?"

……

For a moment, the crowd was excited and everyone spoke up to persuade Li Zhongwu to take back his decision.

The generals spoke one after another, and excitement filled the air, like a powder keg ready to explode.

Faced with the anger and dissatisfaction of the crowd, although Li Zhongwu was angry in his heart, he also understood these people. These people did not want those in front of them to sacrifice in vain.

But if they continue to insist on this, it will not be a solution. They cannot take over the entire Luoye City in one go.

When marching or fighting, what matters is the momentum, and the most taboo thing is to withdraw troops in the middle of a battle.

However, they are not marching and fighting now, but attacking cities and strongholds. Attacking cities and strongholds is often a continuous battle, and it is rare to capture a city with just one victory.

They were all so overwhelmed with anger that they lost their calm judgment. This was not only because these people had never experienced such a brutal battle before, but also because they had been so smooth sailing along the way because of His Royal Highness the King of Martial Arts.

Although the rebel army has now swept the world, they have very little experience in fighting tough battles and protracted wars.

This is also the main reason why Lin Zhongyun sent him to personally coordinate the attack on Luoye City.

On the battlefield, the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers cannot be ignored. However, if they continue to fight hard, a greater tragedy will be waiting for them.

He suppressed his anger and tried to calm everyone down. He pointed at the people on the Lead Seal who were fighting bloody battles and shouted in a deep voice: "Look ahead, are you willing to watch more brothers die?"

"If you continue like this, with the army losing its morale, who will be willing to obey you and die for His Majesty the King of Martial Arts?"

"General, you are asking us to give up our dignity!" an old general couldn't help but shout, his voice full of despair and unwillingness, "We have already paid too much in this battle, are we going to let the Northern Barbarians be so proud?"

"Yes, we can't let them see our weakness!" another general said excitedly, his emotions getting higher and higher.

"Give up your dignity?"

Li Zhongwu sneered, glanced at the veteran, and said with a hint of majesty in his voice, "Dignity is earned through fighting, not by piling up those innocent lives."

"Today, countless people have lost their lives just for the glory and dignity you keep talking about."

Before he finished speaking, someone still wanted to speak stubbornly, but was glared back by Li Zhongwu.

"That's enough. This general is not discussing with you, but informing you. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Those who disobey orders will be executed!"

He slapped his palm on the table, causing everyone present to fall silent and tremble. "Who said that retreating means those people will die in vain? We will take over Luoye City sooner or later." Li Zhongwu looked at everyone and said, his voice became more determined.

This was not only what he said to everyone, but also the roar from the bottom of his heart. No matter what, this time he would make the Northern Barbarians pay the price in blood.

……

At the same time, an extremely brutal battle broke out in Yandang City.

Amid the rapid beating of drums, the huge army of rebels fearlessly climbed up under the continuous hail of arrows.

"Charge!" a young rebel soldier shouted in the team, holding a spear in his hand and a ladder swaying behind him.

He climbed up the ladder with great difficulty, but was faced with a pair of long spears shining with cold light, which ruthlessly stabbed him off the ladder, causing blood to splatter and screams to be heard.

What's worse, seeing that it was too late to stop the rebels from climbing up, the Northern Barbarian soldiers simply overturned the entire ladder.

With a "crack", the ladder collapsed, and several rebel soldiers were thrown down, and their groans of pain echoed all around.

Fortunately, although Yandang City is a frontier fortress, it is located in the northern border, so when the city wall was built, they only focused on its sturdiness and did not build it too high, so falling down would not be fatal.

But even so, many people were still knocked unconscious and confused.

At this time, the Northern Barbarian Army on the city wall seized the opportunity and shot a few arrows from time to time, killing them on the spot.

In this way, corpses were piled up under the city wall, and the bright red blood was flowing, forming a river.

Even the soft, water-absorbent sand had formed a shallow river of blood, circling the city wall. It looked so strange and tragic.

The smell of corpses mixed with the smell of blood filled the air, so pungent that it made people feel sick.

In this situation, even without ladders, they were not that far away from the top of the city wall.

"Come again! Come again!" a general shouted in front. Although he knew the fierceness of the battle, he was still unwilling to retreat. His voice was like thunder, inspiring the soldiers around him to continue forward, even though there were piles of corpses and blood under their feet.

In this situation, even without ladders, they were not that far away from the top of the city wall.

However, they were attacking the city after all. Although the Northern Barbarian Army, which had the advantage of the high city walls, was also busy and confused, the situation was at least much better than that of the tragic rebel army below.

Chagan Uli, as the Khan of the Northern Barbarians, was now running around the city like a general, shouting everywhere.

His figure shuttled across the city wall, going wherever he was needed, commanding soldiers and mobilizing resources, almost without a moment's rest.

How long has he persisted here since dawn? Time has become blurred in his mind, leaving only endless fatigue.

He just felt extremely tired, exhausted both physically and mentally. Every step he took seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy that it was suffocating.

Now thinking back to the tossing and turning and sleepless nights of the past few days, he couldn't help but find it a little funny. If he had been so tired at the time, let alone tossing and turning, he might have just fallen to the ground and fallen asleep.

Finally, he took the time to lean against the city wall to rest for a while, as he really couldn't run any longer. He closed his eyes slightly, trying to regain some strength in this short pause.

Looking down from a high place, looking at the tragic battle in front of him, originally there was extremely barren sand under the city wall, but now it was filled with corpses one after another.

Everyone had an unwilling look on their face until they died, and their faces were hideous and terrifying.

Even though he was used to big scenes, he couldn't help feeling nauseous when he saw such a tragic scene. The strong and pungent smell of blood in the air made the nausea worse.

If this brutal battle took place on the grassland, there is no doubt that they would have attracted wolves to covet them.

Because the smell of blood in the air was so strong that it was suffocating.

Looking at the sky that was gradually getting darker in the distance, he guessed in his heart that Lin Zhongyun should have called back his troops.

After all, the losses caused by such a brutal battle are extremely large.

This also brought with it a fatal problem, which was that most of their defensive supplies had been consumed on the first day alone.

He originally estimated that he could hold out for at least four or five days, but now it seems impossible.

At this time, the offensive of the rebels gradually weakened, and there were no more large numbers of rebels attacking in an endless stream.

Taking advantage of this gap, after getting rid of the last few rebels, he immediately ordered those who had just fought to go down the city wall to rest, and found a group of people who had rested for a while to take over.

Otherwise, even an iron man would not be able to withstand such high-intensity combat.

"Great Khan, I'm sure the rebels won't attack in the short term."

At this time, his deputy general also walked over exhausted, his face still covered in blood, which he had not even had time to wipe off.

"Ok!"

Chagan Wuli nodded expressionlessly and said to him, "Let the brothers take this time to eat and rest, and recover their strength."

"After all, even Lin Zhongyun would not be able to withstand such casualties for a while."

"But Khan, if we continue to fight like this, our supplies will soon run out." The deputy general said worriedly.

"I know."

Chagan Wuli sighed inwardly. What the deputy general said was exactly what he was worried about. Their supplies were being consumed too quickly. "I have ordered people to go down to the city to recover those usable items."

Speaking of this, he felt unhappy, thinking that his dignified Northern Barbarian Army had actually reached the point where they had to pluck things from the dead. However, this was also a helpless move.

"You'd better take some time to rest." Chagan Uli said to the deputy general, then turned and walked down the city wall.

Just as he expected, as soon as he walked into the big tent, he didn't even go to the bed, but fell asleep directly.

If the guards outside the tent had not heard the noise and carried him to the bed, he would have had to sleep on the floor all night.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up drowsily. He glanced outside and saw the sky was as dark as ink. Just as he was about to ask what time it was, he heard a loud noise outside and the entire city wall was shaking.

Then, waves of roaring sounds resounded in the darkness, and the black mass of the rebel army pressed forward again... (End of this chapter)
