Chapter 529: Breaking Lin'an

However, before Lü Bu could even enter the fray, he heard a commandant of the Divine Martial Army request to fight:

"General, why would you need to fight him yourself? This subordinate requests to fight and behead the enemy general!"

The commandants of the Divine Martial Army each possessed the strength of the Postnatal Sixth Heaven.

Beheading an opponent with the strength of a third-rate martial general was naturally a trivial matter.

Lü Bu glanced at Fan Wenhu and said to the commandant:

"Very well, Zhang Chuang, you shall take on this battle!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chuang was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his fists toward Lü Bu:

"This subordinate accepts the order!"

Subsequently, he rode his horse toward Fan Wenhu to kill him.

"Enemy general, be not arrogant! Zhang Chuang, commandant of the Great Han Empire's Divine Martial Legion, has come to behead you!"

Fan Wenhu, seeing that Lü Bu had not entered the fight but had merely dispatched a lowly commandant to meet him, was instantly enraged.

"Hmph, a mere commandant dares to accept a challenge from this general."

"Kid, I must say, you have quite a lot of courage."

"Since that is the case, this general shall grant you a swift death!"

Fan Wenhu shouted at Zhang Chuang with a flamboyant expression.

His manner and expression showed he did not take Zhang Chuang to heart in the slightest.

"You are merely a man seeking his own death!"

Zhang Chuang merely said this to Fan Wenhu with disdain, then raised his long spear and charged toward him.

"Die for this general!"

Fan Wenhu was instantly enraged upon hearing this.

"Bang!"

Fan Wenhu went fast, but returned even faster.

With just one strike, he was knocked off his horse by Zhang Chuang's spear.

"Not good, the enemy general is too strong!"

"My life is at an end!"

Watching Zhang Chuang charge over with his spear raised, a thought flashed through Fan Wenhu's mind.

"Puchi!"

Subsequently, he was pierced through the neck by Zhang Chuang's spear and died.

"The enemy general is dead! Is there anyone else who dares to come out of the city to fight!"

Zhang Chuang pulled out his blood-stained long spear, pointed the tip at the Song Kingdom martial generals atop the Lin'an city wall, and shouted loudly.

"Hiss!"

"The enemy general is too strong; he cannot be opposed by force!"

"Tell the soldiers to hold Lin'an City to the death!"

Atop the city wall, Jia Shizhu, seeing this scene, had a trace of fear on his face and shouted at the several garrison generals beside him.

Right now, he felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, he had not left the city to meet them in battle.

Among them, Fan Wenhu's martial arts were ranked in the top three.

Yet such a person was not even a match for one blow from a commandant of the Great Han.

And this was just a lowly commandant.

The Han army's main general, Lü Bu, hadn't even made a move yet.

Seeing that the Song army dared not fight, Zhang Chuang felt bored after cursing for a while.

"Since you lot dare not fight, then wait for our great army to attack the city."

After Zhang Chuang left this sentence, he turned and returned to the Han army formation.

"General, this subordinate has not failed the mission!"

Arriving before Lü Bu, Zhang Chuang cupped his fists respectfully.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this, Lü Bu nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, he said to the great army:

"Men, prepare the Spirit Stone Cannons, attack the city!"

As Lü Bu's voice fell, twenty soldiers were seen walking out from the great army.

With a wave of ten men's hands, ten Spirit Stone Cannons exuding a bone-chilling cold appeared before the great army.

These ten Spirit Stone Cannons were precisely the siege weapons Liu Bian had exchanged for the six major legions.

Each Spirit Stone Cannon's single attack was equivalent to a full-force blow from a Postnatal Seventh Heaven expert.

And one attack only consumed one Low Grade Spirit Stone.

Liu Bian had exchanged for sixty of them at once.

The six major legions each received ten.

"Aim at the city gate, ten Spirit Stone Cannons, fire in unison at the city gate."

Following Lü Bu's order, all ten Spirit Stone Cannons bombarded the Lin'an city gate.

"Xiu, xiu, xiu..."

Ten powerful white lights streaked across the sky and landed accurately on the Lin'an city gate.

"Boom!"

After a deafening sound that shook the earth and mountains, the Lin'an city gate was directly blasted into fragments by this wave of bombardment.

"What happened!"

"What kind of method is this from the Han army!"

"General, the city gate has been blasted open!"

For a time, there was a cacophony of noise atop the Lin'an city wall.

"What, the city gate has been blasted open!"

"Hurry and repair it! Mobilize another ten thousand men to go and block the Han army's attack!"

Jia Shizhu, who had been knocked to the ground by the shock, was startled into a shiver upon hearing that the city gate had been blasted open.

His whole body sprang up from the ground, and he roared loudly at the reporting soldier.

Just as the Lin'an city garrison was in a state of anxious panic.

Lü Bu held his Painted Halberd high, pointed it at Lin'an City, circulated his Innate True Qi, and ordered loudly:

"Soldiers, the Lin'an city gate is broken!"

"Attack the city!"

Following Lü Bu's order, the one hundred thousand Divine Martial Army, led by five Postnatal Sixth Heaven commandants, charged toward Lin'an City.

"Kill!"

Lü Bu was even more of a leader, with the five commandants behind him.

In just an instant, the great army reached the entrance of the Lin'an city gate.

"Break!"

Watching the blocking Song army soldiers, Lü Bu unleashed an attack with his Painted Halberd.

Those Song army soldiers were directly blasted away.

And the great army took the opportunity to kill their way into Lin'an City.

"General, Lin'an City is broken!"

At this time, the Song army general who saw this scene looked at Jia Shizhu with fear and said in a panic.

"Then why don't you hurry and arrange for men to block them? We have an army of two hundred thousand!"

"How could the Han army have broken through Lin'an City so easily!"

Jia Shizhu grabbed the general's clothes and scolded him loudly.

Even now, he couldn't believe that Lin'an City, guarded by an army of two hundred thousand, had been broken by the Han army so muddle-headedly.

What was he supposed to do now!

He had only just become a Grand General; he hadn't even had his fill of it yet—was it already coming to an end?

"General, it cannot be held! The Han army is too powerful; our soldiers are simply no match for the Han army. Let's hurry and find His Majesty to escape!"

The general shouted at Jia Shizhu with a terrified expression.

Resist the Han army? What a joke! In his eyes, those Han soldiers were like devils.

The Han soldiers were sweeping through their troops in droves.

The gap in strength was too great, and now, on the battlefield, many Song soldiers had already surrendered.

Jia Shizhu, upon hearing this, poked his head out and took a look at the city below, only to see a dense mass of Han soldiers pouring into the city.

And their Song soldiers had no power to fight back against the Han army.

The Han army was like wolves entering a flock of sheep, carrying out a massacre.

"Quick, hurry to the Imperial Palace! Also, where is my uncle?"

Jia Shizhu, seeing this scene, was terrified to the point of his liver and gallbladder splitting, and he hurriedly shouted at the general beside him.

"General, Prime Minister Jia has already left; his whereabouts are currently unknown."

"Let us go find His Majesty first!"

Afterwards, Jia Shizhu took a group of people and wanted to head toward the Imperial Palace.

However, having already been targeted by Lü Bu, how could he possibly leave so easily?

Lü Bu was seen leading several hundred men, rapidly charging toward Jia Shizhu to kill him.

"Bang!"

"Song General, where are you going!"

After Lü Bu blasted away a Song soldier in front of him, he finally arrived behind Jia Shizhu.

Upon hearing this, Jia Shizhu was instantly terrified out of his wits and shouted to the Song soldiers beside him:

"Come here, protect this general, block him for me!"
