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

Luoyun City County Government Office.

Tian Wen was like an ant on a hot pan, turning around and around in circles.

"How's the battle going? Any news?"

"Not yet, sir."

"Go and find out the situation!" Tian Wen waved his hands anxiously. He really didn't trust Li Liang, a guy who got to the top through connections.

"Sir, our city walls are high and thick, and we won't be in a weak position. Please be patient," an official advised.

"Shut your mouth!" Tian Wen roared angrily, but the officials in front of him were not in a hurry at all.

Anyway, Ding Yin wouldn't do anything to them after he captured the city. At most, he would just change their master and let them continue to serve as officials.

The two people who least want to be defeated in the entire Luoyun City are Tian Wen and Li Liang. Needless to say, Li Liang will have no chance of survival unless he surrenders.

But Tian Wen's situation is different. As the top leader of Luoyun City, even if he surrenders and survives, he will be demoted to second in command. Who would be willing to do this?

"Sir, the rebels have climbed onto the city wall. General Li is leading his troops in a fight against them. The situation is critical!"

A soldier's voice came in.

"What? They were climbed onto the city wall so quickly? Did Li Liang grow up eating shit?" Tian Wen threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Go back and tell Li Liang to hold on! You must hold on!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Sir, the situation is critical now. Why don't we consider breaking out?" an official said with a frown.

Tian Wen showed a wry smile on his face. Breakthrough?

That sounds good, but the question is where to break out? There are rebels at all four city gates.

Even if you manage to break through by chance, what can you do?

The only two cities in Yunzhou that have not fallen are probably Caiyun City and Luoyun City. As for Taiping County, Tian Wen had never thought about it.

Again, it’s just a small town, so what if it didn’t fall?

Even though Jiang Yuan was conferred the title of Viscount and seemed to be in the limelight, did he have an army under his command?

Having a title but no strength is useless!

At this time, on the wall of Luoyun City, the battle situation had reached its most tragic moment. The sound of swords and guns clashing was endless. Some guys who were blinded by killing were entangled with each other and fell off the wall.

Li Liang, who was at the forefront, had already been killed into a bloody mess. His black armor was dyed red, and he didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his face.

"Li Liang, surrender, I can still give you a chance to live!" A loud shout rang out, and Ding Yin's figure appeared in front of Li Liang at some point.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Liang roared, and stabbed Ding Yin straight with the spear in his hand.

Ding Yin sneered and shook his head. Li Liang had been fighting bloody battles for an hour or two. This level of attack was unavoidable for ordinary soldiers, but to him, Li Liang was now full of flaws.

"Then you die!" Ding Yin no longer hesitated. He swept the sword in his hand and knocked the spear away. Taking advantage of the gap in the opponent's chest, he rushed forward in an instant.

At the critical moment of life and death, Li Liang suddenly retracted the gun with his back hand and pointed the gun tip at Ding Yin again.

"Get back here!"

Ding Yin dodged sideways without any concern and swung the long sword in his hand again.

This time, Li Liang, who was already exhausted, barely avoided the vital parts of his chest, but was cut open on the shoulder by the tip of the knife.

"Ahhh!"

With a roar, Li Liang angrily swept across Ding Yin's waist, and the two quickly distanced themselves from each other.

"Li Liang, stop being stubborn. You can't defend Luoyun City!" Ding Yin covered his waist and looked at the other party fiercely. He originally thought that Li Liang had no strength to fight back, but he never thought that he could still burst out with such fighting power in such a desperate situation.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to enter the city, step over my dead body!"

Li Liang roared and rushed forward again with his spear.

A general must be determined to die, and a soldier must not be greedy for life.

Under Li Liang's inspiring operation, the soldiers of Luoyun City broke out. Even the generals stood in the front fearlessly. What reason did they have to retreat!

"Kill! Kill them all!"

"Get out! Get out!"

A large number of defenders from Luoyun City quickly gathered together, with hundreds of shield soldiers forming a human wall, watching as they rushed towards Ding Yin from both sides with their shields.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Ding Yin suddenly panicked. He had not occupied much of the city wall, and there were only a few hundred soldiers below. It was only a matter of time before he was beaten down by the double-sided attack.

"Hold on! You must hold on!"

The roars and the sounds of weapons clashing rang out again. This time, both sides fought for their lives. One side wanted to stay, and the other side tried desperately to push the other side down. The battlefield gradually turned into a competition of strength.

The shield soldiers on both sides held their shields with all their might and stood at the front.

Gradually, the defenders of Luoyun City gained the upper hand. Ding Yin gritted his teeth, looked at Li Liang unwillingly, and jumped up the ladder.

As a commander, being able to climb up and fight in such a situation is no longer in line with military principles. If Ding Yin stayed any longer, he would have to be mentally retarded.

With Ding Yin's retreat, the remaining soldiers were no longer able to resist the defenders of Luoyun City. Li Liang raised his spear and roared.

It’s held, Luoyun City is held!

Of course, the word "hold on" should be added with the word "temporarily". This is just the first wave of attack. Although the rebels suffered heavy losses in this battle, the numerical advantage of four to one is still huge.

Countless soldiers cheered with their weapons raised high.

"We win! We win!"

"Hahaha! I'm still alive!"

……

Compared to the celebrating Luoyun City, Caiyun City thousands of miles away has reached the most critical moment.

Long Guangxian stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, and a huge iron monster appeared in front of him.

The monster had hands and feet, but was three meters tall, covered with countless spikes, holding an oversized mace in its hand, and had the corpses of several Caiyun City defenders hanging on its body.

"What is this..."

"General! A monster has appeared on the south city wall. The soldiers have suffered heavy casualties and can't hold on any longer!" Wang Kuo staggered over, holding a broken knife.

Long Guangxian gritted his teeth, tried his best to stop the trembling of his hand holding the spear, and stared at the monster in front of him.

The moment he saw the iron monster, sparks instantly flashed in Wang Kuo's eyes.

"Sir, this is the devil. It's invulnerable to swords and guns, and has incredible strength!"

"General, you go first, I'll cover your retreat!"

Long Guangxian slowly pushed Wang Kuo away. He knew very well that with the broken sword in Wang Kuo's hand, staying would only mean death.

"Wang Kuo, go mobilize the last batch of reserve troops to guard the South City Gate. Leave this thing to me!"

"General..."

"Go! This is a military order!"

Wang Kuo, who was about to say something, shut his mouth abruptly, threw the broken knife at the iron monster, and left without looking back.

Long Guangxian took a deep breath, pointed the tip of his gun at the iron monster, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Come on, let me see whether you are a human or a ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the iron monster moved its legs and rushed forward.

Long Guangxian was not willing to be outdone, he gripped the sword tightly with both hands and thrust forward.

boom!

After a loud bang, Long Guangxian's body was blown away like a cannonball. He looked at the spear in his hand that was already bent in disbelief.

At that moment, he felt as if he had poked a mountain, and the huge reaction force directly bounced him away.

At this moment, the huge body of the iron monster rushed over. He held up the mace and spoke in front of Long Guangxian for the first time.

"Long Guangxian, you've held out for over half a month, but it's over now!"
