Chapter 1789: We Must Seize the Momentum
“Sister…” Chen Li frowned. If this were the case, their group might not be able to return today.
Ning Shu bit her lips. If they disobeyed a direct order, they would have no way to gain any standing in the rebel army.
All the incredible feats and achievements were built on the bones of their comrades and enemies.
Fang Yong pulled his bow and, with a precise aim, killed an archer on the wall in one fell swoop. Judging from the distance the arrow had traveled, the bowstring should be very heavy.
Ning Shu used a knife to chop the arrows coming her way. Many in their troop were already injured. Thanks to the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, though, only a few were life-threatening injuries.
With a bang, the wooden ram fell to the ground. Ning Shu waved her hand, and more than a dozen people followed behind her.
Ning Shu grabbed the rope, put it on her shoulders, and mobilized her internal energy to lift the wooden ram. She then moved toward the city gate.
The strength of those who had practiced the Unsurpassable Martial Arts was greater than an average person. As Ning Shu’s group was in the front, it was under a lot of pressure.
The other party concentrated their attacks on them. As Ning Shu watched her soldiers fall one by one, her heart bled from the inside. At that moment, she suddenly felt her hair stand on end. She turned her head to see an arrow coming straight towards her.
Ning Shu was holding a knife in her hand and was about to chop the arrow with it. However, another arrow suddenly flew over and shot the first arrow away.
Ning Shu didn’t fall into a daze. Instead, she rushed towards the city gate with all her strength. She could hear the arrows whistling past her, barely missing her flesh.
Ning Shu clenched her jaw tight and mobilized all the energy in her body. A groan escaped from her throat as she rushed forward with the wooden ram.
The short distance felt like a boundless ocean.
Chen Li was already injured from protecting her.
“General, it seems that the siege is a bit difficult today,” said Guard Zhou to General Liu.
General Liu furrowed his brow. “We must seize the momentum, or else, I’m afraid we’ll lose all morale. Right now, blood is pumping in their veins, and they don’t know fear. Wait a minute.”
Ning Shu carried the wooden ram with difficulty. At the same time, she was also paying attention to the arrows. When she finally reached the city gate, Ning Shu used every last ounce of her strength to ram the gate with the others.
The city gate was very strong. However, heedless of the wounds on their bodies, Chen Li and everyone else pounded the gate with the ram. The rebounding force of the wooden ram made Ning Shu’s internal organs hurt a bit.
Fortunately, the city gate was soon smashed open under their combined assault. As soon as the city gate opened, the morale of the rebel army was immediately boosted. They cheered and flooded towards the gate.
When the city gate slammed open, a stream of armored soldiers gushed out. The soldiers carrying the ram didn’t even have a chance to feel happy before they were killed.
Ning Shu held the knife in her hand. She was not afraid of killing. Rather, she was afraid of not killing enough. Ning Shu took the sharpened wooden stick and pierced it towards the opponent’s eye and throat. The person lost his life in an instant.
Seeing their leader so calm and collected, the others also clenched their sticks to defend themselves. Although they were clumsy, they could still take down one or two enemies.
A large group of people carrying hoes and rakes poured inside the opened gate. Without any appropriate training, they used their tools to randomly hit and punch their enemies to death.
Indeed, the troops swarmed into the city just like that. It was actually possible to fight a war without any proper training?
Most likely, this chaos was only temporary. Once there were sufficient resources, their situation would definitely change.
General Liu took Ning Shu, Chen Li, Fang Yong, and several other commanders to the central government building. He held a silver spear in his hand and directly stabbed the officers to death.
In the end, he slowly walked towards a fat official who was dressed in an official’s robes. The guy was so frightened that he wetted his pants. He fell to the ground and begged for mercy, “Don’t kill me. I have a lot of money and food.”
General Liu said lightly, “Where?”
The official’s eyes looked around wildly. When General Liu raised his spear, the official immediately said, “It’s buried inside vegetable jars in the yard.”
“What about the food?” asked General Liu.
“The food, I sold all of it to the grain merchants in the city,” said the official when he saw the spear point at him.
