I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

A bloody battle is underway in Caiyun City, while Luoyun City, thousands of miles away from Caiyun City, is on high alert.

"Governor, the scouts report that the rebels are only twenty miles away from us and will arrive in a moment." The Luoyun City defender said with a worried look on his face.

There are only 5,000 soldiers in the entire Luoyun City. Once they get into a tough battle, no one can guarantee how long they can hold out.

"General Li, how many rebel troops are there?" Tian Wen's face was also not looking good. He knew very well how powerful the guy in front of him was.

The general defending Luoyun City is named Li Liang. Although his name is quite ordinary, he has a very good background. It is said that he is the nephew of a big shot in the Ministry of War.

Otherwise, how could he be sent to garrison a transportation hub like Luoyun City when his name was hardly prominent in the major battles to destroy the Zhao Dynasty?

It has to be said that this guy is really unlucky. According to the geographical location, Luoyun City is not located at the edge of Yunzhou. Even the nomadic peoples from the grassland who rush down every now and then in winter will not rush here.

Li Liang was sent to garrison here, where he could just lie down and enjoy himself all day long.

But unfortunately, no one expected that such a large-scale rebellion would break out in the inland.

In this way, not only Li Liang was cheated, but the entire Luoyun City was cheated.

Once Luoyun City is breached, Tian Wen will also be implicated. At the very least, he will be held accountable, and at worst, he may lose his head.

"Sir, according to the news we received, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 people." Li Liang said in a deep voice.

Tian Wen opened his mouth but could not utter a word. With only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Luoyun City, how long could he hold out even with the city's geographical advantage?

As the two were talking, a soldier came running over.

"Sir! The enemy has appeared, less than three miles away from the city!"

"What!" Li Liang screamed, and quickly picked up his spear: "Pass the order, everyone climb the city wall and prepare for battle!"

After saying that, Li Liang left in a hurry, leaving Tian Wen alone in the room sighing.

The moment Li Liang climbed onto the city wall, he took a breath of cold air. He conservatively estimated that the number of people was more than 20,000. This group of rebels was definitely not something Luoyun City could resist.

On the opposite side, Ding Yin, who led his troops, had a very high-spirited temperament.

"Soldiers, we're here!"

"Three years ago, we were chased all the way from here to a small border town. We were in a terrible state, but now, we've fought our way back!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers behind him shouted, Ding Yin raised the sword in his hand and sent an envoy to negotiate.

If we can win without fighting, that would naturally be the best.

"Lord Ding Yin, there is nothing to negotiate about. Just let me go up and try to break down the city gate!" A childish voice sounded.

Ding Yin immediately turned his head and looked at him, his expression suddenly becoming a little kinder: "Xudong, don't do this recklessly. Have you forgotten what your master said?"

"Oh, sir, a general is on the battlefield and is not obliged to obey the king's orders!" the young man said carelessly.

Ding Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly. If anything happens to you, I will be the one who will be in trouble!

The boy's real name is Chen Xudong. He is not a gifted martial arts genius, nor is he a young general.

But the boy has an awesome master, Bai Liantian, the patriarch of a powerful family who lives in seclusion.

The Bailian family, through countless generations of hard work, has only been able to create a war machine that can truly dominate the battlefield.

Bai Liantian is known as the top genius of the Bai Lian family in the past thousand years. At the age of 30, he combined the efforts of countless ancestors to create a prototype of a war machine.

Although it is only a prototype, after testing, it is enough to sweep across the battlefield.

The young man in front of him is Bai Liantian's apprentice. According to Bai Liantian, Chen Xudong's talent is even better than his own, and there is a high probability that he will be able to perfect the war machine in the future.

If such a guy had an accident on the battlefield, Ding Yin couldn't imagine what would happen to him.

Thinking of this, Ding Yin immediately spoke up to dissuade him: "Xudong, there's no need for you to go. This Luoyun City is just a paper shell. We can break through the city gate tomorrow."

Chen Xudong glanced at the Luoyun City gate with some disappointment and muttered, "What? I thought such a magnificent city would have powerful defenders. It seems my war machine is useless."

"Haha, don't worry. When we attack the imperial capital in the future, you will have the chance to show your prowess." Ding Yin laughed and turned to look at the messenger who had returned.

"Sir, the defenders of this city are stubborn and unyielding."

"Hmph! You're asking for death!" Ding Yin sneered and suddenly raised his sword: "Attack from the front!"

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

In a split second, six or seven thousand soldiers rushed forward, pushing battering rams, ladders and other engineering equipment.

On the top of Luoyun City, Li Liang was equally unwilling to be outdone: "Shoot!"

In an instant, countless arrows shot up into the sky. In the large-scale city defense battle, the advantage of archers was very obvious. There was no need to aim at all, just to shoot arrows into the sky. The dense arrows were like a big net that covered all the troops below.

Human lives were harvested like leeks, but Ding Yin's troops had captured several cities in succession and their morale was high, so how could they retreat?

Countless soldiers pushed the ladders and climbed up the city walls, scrambling to climb up.

At this moment, no one chose to retreat, as retreat was the fastest path to death. If one could be lucky enough to be the first to reach the city wall and survive, the achievement of being the first to reach the wall would be enough to change one's fate.

"Kerosene! Rolling logs, come at me!" Li Liang was completely furious. Although he was able to get the lucrative job of guarding Luoyun City because of his inner connections, he also fought his way through every war between Daduan and the Zhao Dynasty.

It cannot be said that he is useless, it can only be said that his contemporaries are too powerful. Ning Fei, Jiang Wanli, Chen Liu, Xue Zhen, Long Guangxian and other generals are too powerful, which is why Li Liang did not stand out.

"Kill! I'm going to smash you beasts to death!"

"Bring me a bucket of gold juice!"

The shouts and cries of killing were endless all around, and Li Liang's eyes were dazed for a moment. He had the illusion that he was back to the war again.

After an hour of siege, Luoyun City was finally torn open. Ding Yin had already pushed forward the central army, and the disadvantage of insufficient military force in Luoyun City was fully magnified.

"Lao Ding! Bring a group of men and follow me to kill!" Li Liang, who had already been furious, took a spear from the soldier and rushed forward.

The already brutal war instantly turned into a meat grinder, with countless people fighting on the city wall. Li Liang's spear pierced one person, and before he could even pull it out, he was forced to pierce another...
