Chapter 461

The third watch is the moment when people sleep most soundly...

Dong Zhuo’s side had just won a complete victory, making it their most lax moment.

At this time, it was the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack.

If he did not know the plot.

Su Li might also have, as Li Ru speculated, retreated with the warlords to Hulao Pass to plan slowly.

But!

He understood the plot!

In his past life, when the warlords attacked the outskirts of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had developed the intention to retreat and soon withdrew.

Moving all of Luoyang to Changancheng to establish a new imperial capital.

Not only that, but they burned Luoyang.

Even the Luoyang the warlords had conquered was left in ruins.

Facing such a situation, how could he be like the warlords and plan slowly?

Therefore.

When the warlords were attacking Luoyangcheng today, Su Li had not actually exerted his full strength.

Because he knew well that the first wave of warlords could not possibly take Luoyangcheng.

After all, the historical plot was already set there.

If he let the warlords charge straight into Luoyangcheng, how would he play his own hand behind the scenes?

If Dong Zhuo’s side were defeated directly, there would be no subsequent plot.

Therefore.

Su Li kept conserving his strength, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Now, at the third watch.

It was the best time.

During the day, although Dong Zhuo’s side repelled the warlords, they inevitably suffered heavy losses.

If he launched a surprise attack now.

Even if it failed, it would still cause the most severe damage to Dong Zhuo’s side, and by joining forces with the retreating warlords at Hulao Pass, he might be able to turn the tide tonight!

Not long after.

The main force had arrived outside Luoyangcheng.

He had Zhao Yu and Guan Hai lead the Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry, the Repeating Crossbowmen, and the Armored Fighter troops to wait at a distance, separated from the Rose Guild sisters.

And Su Li, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and the six generals including Liu, Guan, and Zhang were quietly approaching the high city gate outside Luoyangcheng.

So.

When they were only 100 meters from the outer wall of Luoyangcheng, Su Li drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

Swish!

Several sounds in succession!

A string of arrows pinned into the gaps of the Luoyang city wall!

Afterward.

Using those arrows, Su Li climbed silently toward the high city wall.

When Su Li first ascended, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Liu, Zhang Fei, and several others followed one after another.

Night had fallen.

The walls of Luoyang were lined with torches.

But the light from these torches faded rapidly after spreading beyond the wall, and influenced by Zhang Ning’s Mist Technique, the group moved like a group of shadows that were hard to detect, slowly shifting toward the Luoyang ramparts, getting closer and closer to the top!

50 meters!

30 meters!

10 meters!

When they were about to reach the top of the wall, Su Li cast a glance at the few people below.

Then his body soared into the sky, lunging toward the city wall!

Like a Great Peng spreading its wings!

Upon reaching the top of the wall, the Repeating Crossbow appeared in Su Li’s hands.

Usually, Su Li would defeat his enemy with a single arrow and never really utilized the Repeating Crossbow’s features.

...0 Seeking flowers 0 0

But this time, he pushed the [Repeating] attribute of the Repeating Crossbow to its limit.

Multiple arrows were loaded into the chamber at once.

Then, like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden, they flew toward the many patrolling soldiers on the wall.

"Bang..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each arrow seemed to have a sound of piercing the air, causing the patrolling soldiers nearby to be terrified from the start.

But the words "Enemy attack" had not yet been shouted.

Thus, they were struck by the continuously flying arrows, Sun Jian piercing through their bodies.

At this moment!

Zhao Yun was the second to charge onto the city wall.

With his Bright Silver Spear in hand, like a peacock spreading its tail, he unleashed a sky full of spear light, killing the soldiers in the distance.

As the imperial capital, Luoyangcheng was extremely vast.

The walls built were naturally spacious, bright, and peerless.

Killing the nearby soldiers with the force of thunder, and with the cover of the Mist Technique, no one would notice Su Li and the others invading in the short term.

So.

Dian Wei and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang also followed and climbed onto the city wall.

The group converged.

Seeking self-subscription, seeking reviews.

.........................................................Zero.

Dian Wei and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang also followed and climbed onto the city wall.

The group converged.

Under the cover of night, they began to grope their way down the city wall.

Five great peerless warriors!

A top-tier divine general!

When they infiltrated the Luoyang city wall as assassins and appeared in Luoyangcheng, even if they encountered a large number of soldiers on patrol or generals leading patrols, they could kill them with the speed of a thunderbolt.

Everything went smoothly!

The group quietly appeared inside the Luoyang city wall.

So.

Su Li nodded to Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang~.

Su Li took a deep breath, his shadow accelerated in an instant, and he rushed toward the mechanism position built inside the wall that could pull the city gate.

Was there time?

No!

In the blink of an eye, Su Li crossed the tens of meters and walked into the mechanism position.

So.

A group of soldiers at the mechanism position had not yet had time to respond.

The Blood Dragon Divine Pattern Halberd in his hand had already swept out!

Among the hundreds of people guarding the mechanism, the soldiers were wiped out at the roots!

Swish!

After the Killing Intent Technique advanced to the Killing Aura Technique, the damage amplification was even more explosive; with just a casual swing, he unleashed a twenty or thirty-meter blood-colored blade aura.

And with the explosion of this slash, the hundreds of soldiers responsible for guarding the mechanism didn't even have time to scream before they were cut in half and fell to the ground.

At this moment!

The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang followed, rushed into the mechanism position, and joined forces with Su Li to push the heavy and massive mechanism to open the gate of Luoyang!

And Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and the others guarded the group, ready to fend off the next enemy attack at any time.

Perhaps someone might ask.

Su Li held the Blood Dragon Divine Pattern Halberd, which could cause terrifying damage to the city gate structure; why not just blast the gate open instead of going through so much trouble to infiltrate Luoyangcheng and use the mechanism to open it?

Perhaps someone might ask...

Su Li held the Heavenly Dragon Halberd, which could cause terrifying damage to the city gate structure; why not just blast the gate open instead of going through so much trouble to infiltrate Luoyangcheng and use the mechanism to open it?

Are you kidding me!

Think about an imperial-level city like Luoyang; it is one of the most stable giant cities in this world.

In addition to its own city defenses, it also had some additional enhancements.

And the city gate was made entirely of Thunder-Struck Wood—wood that remains intact even after being struck by heavenly lightning—could it be easily shattered?

Don't talk about Su Li alone; even with Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, it would be impossible to blast the city gate directly.

It would take at least a period of continuous attack to break through.

But they were on a surprise attack, and naturally, they didn't have that kind of time.

The mechanism controlling the city gate was massive.

...0 Seeking flowers 0 0

The ropes were also thick.

Usually, it would take hundreds of soldiers working together to pull such a mechanism to raise the incredibly thick Luoyang city gate.

From this, one can see how thick the Luoyang city gate was, incomparable to ordinary cities.

But.

Now, the few people pushing the mechanism had Su Li, whose martial strength was off the charts, and this Overlord-like strength was self-evident in Liu Bei, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both generations of immense strength.

The group working together not only pushed the mechanism construction, but pulling the mechanism was something that usually required hundreds of soldiers working in unison!

Boom!

Boom!
