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

On the walls of Luoyun City, countless generals looked at Ding Ziyan with fear.

"General Ding! General Ding, what's going on?"

"What kind of weapon is this? Why is it so powerful?"

"Ding Jianjun, if this continues, the city wall will be breached sooner or later. What should we do?!"

Hearing the loud shouts around him, Ding Ziyan was extremely panicked at this moment. How could he know something that these generals had never seen!

But at this moment, the constantly shaking city wall under his feet told him very clearly that he had to do something, otherwise the thing used by Jiang Yuan's army might really be enough to blow down the city wall.

Once the city wall is broken, even if he still has an army of 100,000, the morale of the army will be gone. Even if there are 200,000, they are no match for Jiang Yuan!

"Everyone listen up! We can't keep fighting here at Jiangyuan. Gather all the cavalry and follow me to charge out and destroy these things!"

Ding Ziyan roared, picked up his spear, and jumped directly from the city wall.

A moment later, Ding Ziyan looked at the 5,000 cavalrymen behind him, and a bitter feeling arose in his heart.

According to Ning Fei's battle plan, Luoyun City only needs to be defended tightly, and the 100,000 troops mobilized are basically infantry and archers.

But now, the archers' range is not as far as that of the enemy, and sending the infantry out is simply giving heads to the cavalry outside.

These five thousand cavalry were all the cavalry he could mobilize.

"Everyone, listen up! The survival of this city depends entirely on you. I will live and die with you. Follow me and fight our way out here to destroy those weird things!"

After some pre-war mobilization, Ding Ziyan pointed the spear in his hand at the city gate.

"Open the city gate!"

The soldiers stationed on both sides of the city gate slowly opened the gate, and the Taiping County army in the distance suddenly came into view.

"Kill with me!"

Ding Ziyan roared and immediately rushed out with his men.

In the distance, Jiang Yuan didn't move at all when he saw the city gate open. Just when these cannons could you easily get close to?

The musketeers guarding on both sides of the cannon immediately raised their muskets. The city gate was three hundred meters away from here, and the muskets modified by the Chen Xudong brothers had an effective range of exactly three hundred meters.

There were ten musketeers for each cannon, three hundred cannons, a total of three thousand men and three thousand muskets.

boom!

Bang bang bang!

A strong smell of gunpowder was emitted, and countless bullets flew towards Ding Ziyan and others.

At this moment, Ding Ziyan, who was charging at the front, suddenly felt a trance in front of his eyes, and then a sharp pain came from his shoulder.

"Ugh!" Ding Ziyan groaned and looked at his shoulder. The armor that was originally intact now had a hole in it, and blood was flowing out.

Ding Ziyan was horrified. Although the armor he wore was only light armor, it could still withstand ordinary sword attacks without any problem. But what on earth was this thing?

I didn't even see it, but I was already attacked. So, these soldiers behind me...

During the charge, Ding Ziyan looked back and was immediately disheartened. Of the more than a thousand cavalrymen who had rushed out of the city gate, only a hundred were left.

This sudden change instantly chilled the passion that had just risen in Ding Ziyan's heart. He couldn't figure out what tricks Jiang Yuan had used to cause such heavy casualties to the thousands of cavalrymen behind him in an instant.

"Retreat! Go back!"

Ding Ziyan shouted again, turned his horse around and rushed towards the city gate first.

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound behind him. When Ding Ziyan rushed into the city gate, he felt another sharp pain in his back. Ding Ziyan felt that half of his body was numb, but he gritted his teeth. As a commander, he must not fall down in front of the soldiers, otherwise there would be no need to fight this battle.

"Close the city gate!"

Ding Ziyan shouted, then forced himself to get off the horse, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the city wall again step by step.

"Everyone listen up! After Jiang Yuan takes the city, you and I will both die. Today is a battle of life and death. Defend the city walls, and there's still a glimmer of hope!"

After saying these words, Ding Ziyan could no longer bear it, so he simply leaned against the city wall behind him, holding high the sword in his hand.

"There are 50,000 cavalrymen guarding the gate. We have no way to retreat. If we want to survive, we must repel the enemy!"

boom!

As soon as Ding Ziyan finished speaking, there was a sound of the city wall collapsing. After being bombarded by 300 cannons for such a long time, the wall of Luoyun City could not withstand it after all, and the wall of more than ten meters was directly blown open.

Jiang Yuan raised the Emperor's Sword high in his hand and said, "No surrender will be accepted. Anyone who raises an arm to resist will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jue, Chen Qing and others immediately rode out on their horses.

The army behind him immediately caught up, but Jiang Yuan was still sitting on his horse, with no intention of taking action. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he must not take risks easily. Moreover, Jiang Yuan knew very well his own strengths and weaknesses. With his limited skills, he had no ability to protect himself in such a large battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people.

More than 100,000 soldiers charged forward like a tide. In a blink of an eye, Wang Jue, Chen Qing and others had arrived under the broken city gate. They all jumped off their horses and charged into the enemy camp first.

The soldiers behind him pushed the siege ladders and rushed up in a swarm.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought each other, and the sound of swords and guns clashing resounded throughout the battlefield.

Jiang Yuan stared at the top of the city wall until he saw Wang Jue, Chen Qing, Qin Tianzhu and others had followed, then he withdrew his gaze.

In Jiang Yuan's eyes, the battle was over. His side had directly broken through the city wall. Ding Ziyan's army was in low morale and had almost no combat effectiveness.

At this time, on the city wall, Ding Ziyan was holding a spear, his eyes bloodshot as he looked into the distance. A guy who was also holding a spear was rushing towards him like cutting melons and vegetables.

After moving a few steps, Ding Ziyan put down the spear in his hand with a painful look on his face. The severe pain behind him was like a burning flame, making it difficult for him to move.

"Ugh!" A stream of blood foam gushed out of Ding Ziyan's mouth. He took out a pill from his arms tremblingly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"I never thought that I, Ding Ziyan, would end up in this situation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ziyan put the pill into his mouth without hesitation. The name of this pill was Pain Relief Pill. As the name suggests, it had no other effect but to relieve pain.

It is very effective in relieving pain. This pill was prepared by military doctors and was originally intended for use on the wounded. However, due to its powerful analgesic effect, some pioneer suicide squads always carry it with them.

Swallowing one while charging is like being a monster that is not afraid of pain, and it often has miraculous effects.

creak!creak!

Ding Ziyan chewed the painkiller pill in his mouth with all his strength, as if he was biting Jiang Yuan's flesh and blood. After a while, the severe pain in his back slowly disappeared, and only blood was still oozing out from time to time.

"Well, today we have no choice but to fight to the death!" Ding Ziyan tore off the cloak from his waist, looked coldly at the Taiping County generals who were coming towards him step by step, and kept tearing the cloak into strips with his hands, and then wrapped it around his waist in circles to prevent the blood from continuing to flow out.

After all preparations were completed, Ding Ziyan walked forward step by step against the retreating crowd.

His pace became faster and faster, until finally, he was running, with the spear in his hand behind his back. At the moment when he was about to collide head-on with the enemy, Ding Ziyan stepped heavily, flew into the air, and chopped down the spear in his hand, slashing towards the opponent with the force of a mountain.

"Go back! This is not the place for you to set foot!"

Among the Taiping County soldiers, a long spear also flew out and stabbed directly at Ding Ziyan.

In the blink of an eye, the spears of both sides fell. Ding Ziyan took a few steps back, looked at the hole on his waist, and continued to attack without any care.

Qin Tianzhu was almost stunned in the distance. Is this a human?

Just as the two sides exchanged blows, Ding Ziyan's spear hit his shoulder, numb half of his body, but his own spear actually stabbed the opponent's waist, and the tip of the spear did not go in an inch at least.

With such an injury, anyone would probably be seriously injured, right?

But why is this guy still rushing towards him with full energy?

Before Qin Tianzhu could think too much, Ding Ziyan's spear attacked again.

"Fuck you! I don't believe I can't stab you to death!" Qin Tianzhu stomped his feet violently, and despite the severe pain in his shoulder, he fired another shot.

In a blink of an eye, Ding Ziyan's spear tip pierced Qin Tianzhu's shoulder fiercely, and the spear in Qin Tianzhu's hand also mercilessly left a hole in the opponent's abdomen.

However, the following scene made Qin Tianzhu unable to hold back. Ding Ziyan's intestines were about to flow out, but he still charged forward tirelessly as if he felt no pain.

But the severe pain coming from his shoulder made Qin Tianzhu very clear that this was not a dream!

If this isn't a dream, how could there be someone who doesn't feel pain?

But Ding Ziyan would not give him time to think. He attacked again with the spear, not caring about defense at all, fighting with a life-for-life approach.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Ding Ziyan, who was left alone by Ning Fei with an army of 100,000 to stop Jiang Yuan from entering the city, how could he not see that the battle was already lost.

The 50,000 cavalrymen outside the city have cut off his hope of escape. Jiang Yuan might show mercy to ordinary soldiers, but there is no way he would show mercy to him.

Rather than dying in humiliation, it is better to die on the city wall. If you are lucky, you can even replace the opponent!

"Damn it! Do you really think I'm a wimp?" Qin Tianzhu snorted coldly and rushed forward with a spear in hand.

The two men had long been blood-thirsty, and now they had chosen to fight to the death. Because of their presence, the soldiers of both sides were forcibly separated at the two ends of the city wall. In this area, only the shadows of the two men's guns were flying around.

In the blink of an eye, the two men had more and more injuries on their bodies, and they were almost turned into bloody men, but they showed no signs of stopping. In this battle, only one person can survive, or both of them will die!

Before they knew it, both of their spears had been tucked under each other's armpits, and the two sides were in a brief stalemate.

Qin Tianzhu grabbed the spear without hesitation and took a step forward, slamming his head towards Ding Ziyan. Ding Ziyan immediately hit Qin Tianzhu in the face with his headbutt.

The two men's faces, already stained with blood, were bleeding again. This was a life-and-death battle that would not stop until one of them fell.

"You die!" Qin Tianzhu madly hit Ding Ziyan with his head again and again.

Gradually, the two men's movements became slower and slower, and finally they stopped at the same time. They just stood there on the city wall, staring at each other.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure fell to the ground with a bang.

At this moment, the soldiers on both sides all looked at the only person still standing, Ding Ziyan...
