Chapter 1060

Each giant rhinoceros was as large as an ordinary giant elephant, with a conical golden horn in front of its nose, a full four chi high. The Xiji puppet army had already thrown the specially made rope hooks onto the drawbridge, with the other end looped around the giant rhinoceros's large horn.

Fu Shanlie whistled, and the three giant rhinoceroses quickened their pace, working together to charge outward fiercely.

As they exerted force, their bodies seemed to grow a size larger, and the drawbridge creaked loudly.

Arrows rained down from the city wall, but these rhinoceroses were so bulky that the flying arrows were like cow hair needles to them.

The city gate could only use siege crossbows; after being imbued with Yuan power, the lethality of these lethal weapons was immense.

One giant rhinoceros was struck by an arrow in the back, directly piercing through its belly, and even its hard outer armor couldn't withstand it.

Another was struck by an arrow in the rear, charging even more fiercely.

Because black beetles controlled the commoners to attack the city guard team, the inside of the Nanchengmen also fell into chaos. Dozens of commoners pushed the winch regardless of their lives, exerting force together with the giant rhinoceroses outside the city.

One inside and one outside, both were pushing the drawbridge.

This battle for control was more intense from the start than the East Gate.

The battle fell into a stalemate, with time passing second by second.

Just as the Xiji puppet army waited in anticipation, the tall Nanchengmen finally slowly lowered amidst creaking sounds!

This thick Nancheng gate was controlled by mechanisms; when retracted, it was a city gate, and when lowered, it became a trestle bridge crossing the moat for people to enter and exit the city.

More than half a year ago, the Jin Tao nation joined forces with water bandits to attack the city, only to return in defeat before this very Nanchengmen.

The infiltration team Fu Shanlie sent inside, however, had desperately pressed it down under the cover of the crazed commoners! The Yuheng Nanchengmen had been breached!

"Kill!" Fu Shanlie roared, taking the lead.

What expression would be on He Lingchuan's face when he discovered his lair had been taken? Fu Shanlie really wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Hundreds of people followed his footsteps, stepped onto the trestle bridge, and rushed into the Nanchengmen! This strongest city in the old Xiji land, this majestic city carefully built by Panlong City, had finally been torn open, revealing its soft underbelly.

Before sunrise tomorrow, he would be lying on the roof of the city guard station drinking! "Seize the urn gate, issue orders to the Jin Tao army!" Fu Shanlie charged at the urn city gate first.

Behind the Nanchengmen was an urn city, with high walls on three sides surrounding the enemy like a jar, allowing his own soldiers to stand on the city wall and shoot arrows, attacking the enemy troops below.

The urn city had a second gate.

But this gate was far less sturdy than the outermost gate, and the reinforcement array had been destroyed by the infiltration team. Fu Shanlie jumped onto the city wall himself and killed several archers.

Not long after, this gate was also smashed.

Fu Shanlie laughed heartily and directly ordered:

"Little ones, charge for me, keep charging until you reach the East City! Join forces with the Jin Tao army!"

His side had no Yuan power, yet could still break through the Yuheng South Gate, which showed his brilliant plan had worked well.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves rose ahead.

More than a dozen elite cavalrymen came riding through the dust.

The critical moment of seizing a city is all about racing against time. Fu Shanlie had meticulously planned for so long and should have struck head-on without hesitation.

They had just passed the city gate, their advantage was unstable, and they only needed to occupy the gate to continuously send troops inside.

The Jin Tao nation had also promised to split forces here, as long as they occupied the Nanchengmen.

But the cavalry in front of them was truly an eyesore.

They were riding Bo beasts, spirited and self-controlled, capable of obeying their master's orders even on the night of the Emperor's Flowing Plasma.

The person in the lead wore dark red battle armor, a blood-red cloak, and a ferocious ghost-face mask.

Fu Shanlie subconsciously stopped his footsteps.

How could the leader of the Great Wind Army appear in Yuheng City? Shouldn't she be fighting on the western front of the Panlong Wasteland at this time? A stray arrow shot toward her.

General Red reached out and grabbed it, snapping the arrow in two with a press.

She led the crowd closer and pulled on the reins.

Fu Shanlie also subconsciously raised his hand, and the army behind him stopped.

Below the city and inside the city, there was a brief silence.

The two sides stared at each other for more than ten breaths. General Red spoke first, her voice playful: "Fu Shanlie, you really have some tricks, being able to breach my Nanchengmen."

"You are General Red?" Fu Shanlie frowned. "Impossible!"

He scrutinized General Red: "How could General Red sit idly by while the city gate was breached?"

Where was her famous Great Wind Army? Why were there only a few cavalrymen, and the rest were Yuheng City infantry? It must be fake, right? Fu Shanlie's eyes flickered.

General Red chuckled: "Take a look, where are you?"

Where? Fu Shanlie swept his gaze downward; he had already crossed the urn city gate and was standing on the land of Yuheng City.

What did this mean? Was there a trap? General Red asked him: "What is your title in Beijia?"

"General Red Blood."

"Good, I haven't killed a Beijia general yet." General Red laughed, "Your head is qualified to be hung on my wall of merit."

Fu Shanlie said coldly: "Why waste breath? Let's decide the outcome on the battlefield!"

When narrow roads meet, the brave win. He also wanted to see how much weight General Red, who was blown out of proportion by the Lingxu City, really had!

General Red flipped her left hand, took out a pitch-black wheel, and shook it at him twice: "Has your arm healed? Shall I help you dismantle it again?"

There were fine runes on the wheel.

As soon as Fu Shanlie saw this wheel, his pupils shrank.

Last time he ambushed He Lingchuan in the river, the dozen water demons he invited were harvested by a sudden divine artifact; otherwise, if they had helped surround and hunt He Lingchuan, the latter would have been dead long ago.

Yes, it was this wheel!

He had seen its power with his own eyes; this thing didn't care about martial ethics, whether killing humans or demons.

So, was General Red on the shore at that time? With her ability, it seemed she could indeed unleash the wheel's power.

"How could the Seven Blessings Wheel be in your hands?" Fu Shanlie frowned, his right shoulder feeling a bit itchy.

A few months ago, his right arm was chopped off by He Lingchuan in the river, but the Ba's constitution was special, and after receiving the Emperor's Flowing Plasma for two consecutive nights, the severed arm soon regenerated.

However, he felt stifled whenever he thought of that battle!

General Red said slowly: "Oh? You know its origin?"

Fu Shanlie's eyes flickered.

As soon as this woman appeared, before they even exchanged blows, he could feel his side's morale plummeting significantly.

Lingxu City had specifically studied General Red, and the various gods defined her as a "demigod" body, an existence whose combat power far exceeded that of practitioners, for reasons unknown.

General Red's appearance here might just be a coincidence, but for Fu Shanlie, it was the low-probability accident he least wanted to encounter!

It looked like He Lingchuan was indeed not in the city; his reconnaissance and plans were all fine.

But he would rather face He Lingchuan now.

Fu Shanlie requested to come to Takigawa to incite rebellion on behalf of Beijia because he wanted to earn merit, not to sacrifice his life.

Beijia was full of talents, and the room for his advancement was too small, so he thought of taking a different path. But in his plan, he never thought of going head-to-head with General Red.

Wouldn't it be better to leave such a fierce person to the allied forces of Baling and Xianyou?
