Dream of the Red Chamber: From a Border Ruffian to a Capital Tyrant

Beneath the city wall, a massive steel behemoth, a siege weapon, was pounding furiously against the already dilapidated city gate, accompanied by a sickening winch whirring.

With each heavy blow, the city gate trembled violently, emitting a chilling creak, as if the next strike would shatter it completely, turning it into a shower of wood chips.

"Bang!!"

"Bang!!"

As a deep, thunderous roar resounded, the Xiongnu below erupted in a strange cry, filled with the excitement of an impending city breach and the greed for wealth and women.

"not good!!!"

Jia Lang cursed inwardly, his face turning deathly pale.

Without any hesitation, and without even having time to think, he took off running towards the city gate.

"General!"

"Oh no! The city gate has been breached!"

"The city gates have been breached!"

Before they even got close to the city gate, they heard a young soldier crying and shouting at the top of his lungs.

The voice was filled with endless fear and despair, as if the sky were about to collapse.

"What!!!!"

At that moment, Jia Ren, who was directing operations on the other side of the city wall, heard the shout and his face changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.

He rushed to the city wall and looked down. He saw that the huge gate-smashing vehicle was parked at the city gate, and the originally sturdy city gate had been smashed open with a gaping hole big enough for two people to walk side by side.

The surrounding Xiongnu people, like mad beasts that had smelled blood, with bloodshot eyes and brandishing their scimitars, surged madly toward the gap.

"withstand!"

"Hold on, all of you!!"

Jia Ren's eyes were bloodshot as he ran frantically toward the city gate, shouting hoarsely as he ran.

Jia Ren knew all too well what it would mean if the city gates fell.

That would be a catastrophe for countless people inside the pass, a devastating end for the entire Yanmen Pass!

However, while Jia Ren ran fast, someone was even faster than him!

A black blur flashed past him like lightning. Before he could even see who it was, the figure had already leaped down the three-meter-high ramp without hesitation!

This person was none other than Jia Lang!

When Jia Lang arrived at the city gate, the scene before him filled him with anxiety and his eyes widened in despair.

The city gate's bolts and top bars had already been broken into several pieces by the terrifying kinetic energy of the ramming vehicle.

Normally, it would take dozens of strong men to close this massive gate, but now, with the Xiongnu people interfering so fiercely, the remaining soldiers of Yanmen Pass are simply unable to close this gate of death again.

The soldiers frantically used their bodies to hold back the city gate, but the number of Xiongnu outside the gate continued to grow, and the force of their impact was astonishing.

The gaping hole that had been smashed open grew larger and larger, no longer just wide enough for two people to walk side by side; it was practically a giant maw that was devouring life.

The Huns who poured in brandished gleaming knives, their faces contorted like demons, and unleashed a frenzied massacre on the soldiers who were desperately defending the city gates.

"court death!"

Jia Lang's eyes widened in fury, his beard and hair stood on end, and he rushed forward in one stride, thrusting out his heavy hammer like a dragon emerging from the sea.

"Pfft!"

The heavy hammer pierced the chest of a leading Xiongnu commander in an instant, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

Then, his arm muscles bulged, and he swung it forcefully!

The Hun hanging from the hammer suddenly became like a human cannonball, smashing a string of enemies behind him with tremendous force, and knocking down the few people who had just squeezed in as well.

Seeing the Xiongnu people surging into the breach like a tide once again, Jia Lang did not hesitate and swung his heavy hammer out again!

The heavy hammer transformed into a black lightning bolt, accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air, and pierced directly through the body of the Hun at the forefront.

The terrifying kinetic energy did not stop. The Huns behind him were like candied hawthorns, three or four of them were skewered by this hammer, and they fell down with screams, instantly clearing out an area.

"what!"

Just then, a Hun hiding in a blind spot took advantage of Jia Lang's remaining strength and sneaked up to try to launch a sneak attack.

Jia Lang reacted incredibly quickly. Without turning his head, he grabbed the man's wrist like an iron clamp and yanked it sharply!

"Sizzle!"

In excruciating pain, the Hun let out a series of heart-wrenching howls as his entire arm was ripped off!

The chilling sounds of bones cracking and screams echoed through the narrow city gate, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present. The Xiongnu soldiers, who had been about to charge forward, were momentarily stunned by this terrifying act.

In the blink of an eye, the Xiongnu who entered the city gate were either dead or maimed, and not a single one of them could stand up!

The once boisterous Xiongnu people outside the city gates were filled with disbelief and fear upon seeing this scene, which resembled a hellish landscape.

They looked at Jia Lang, who was covered in blood as if he had been pulled out of a pool of blood. No matter how the supervisors behind them pushed and whipped him, not one of them dared to step into that bloody gap again.

The Huns, separated by the city gate, stared in terror at the god of death. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation and fear, yet none of them dared to take even half a step forward.

Jia Lang stood alone behind the city gate, unarmed yet exuding an imposing aura, like a thousand troops guarding the pass.

One man alone held off thousands of enemy soldiers!

Looking at the nightmare-like gate-rushing vehicle parked not far from the city gate, Jia Lang vigilantly waved his arms to block the occasional stray arrows and sporadic enemies trying to get closer, while his mind raced.

These cars that force their way through doors absolutely cannot remain here!

Otherwise, if they ram the gate again, it will be completely destroyed, and even a god couldn't save it!

Jia Lang knew that the Xiongnu people were only intimidated by his temporary ferocity.

Once they realize what's happening, or once a fresh batch of reinforcements arrives, they will definitely drive the ramming car to smash the door again.

At that time, no matter how great his divine power was, he would not be able to stop the Xiongnu cavalry from stepping into Yanmen Pass.

"We have to find a way to cripple this iron turtle..."

Jia Lang stared intently at the massive gate-breaking cart through the crack in the doorway, muttering to himself, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and a desperate resolve.

Just as Jia Lang's thoughts were racing, someone in the Xiongnu ranks, having recovered, suddenly shouted in broken Chinese:

"Don't be afraid of him! He's all alone! Push the cart, ram it open!"

Then, a group of Xiongnu people ran towards the back of the gate-rushing cart with sinister smiles, seemingly preparing to repeat their old trick and use this deadly weapon to completely crush the last line of defense of Yanmen Pass.

Seeing this, Jia Lang's mind raced. If they succeeded, everything would be over!

"Never mind, let's go for it!"

Jia Lang clenched his fists tightly, his teeth almost grinding to powder, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes, and he turned and rushed out through the gap in the city gate!

"General!"

"General, you mustn't!"

"Lang-ge'er! Come back!!!"

The soldiers behind him were terrified when they saw Jia Lang's crazy actions, and they shouted in horror.

"Don't worry about me! Hold the gate!"

Without turning his head, Jia Lang roared and charged into the enemy ranks like an arrow released from a bow.

Come on!

"You Hunnic bastards! I am right here!"

Once outside the city, standing before the city gate, surrounded by hundreds of enemy soldiers, Jia Lang revealed a ferocious, maniacal laugh, his voice like thunder, echoing across the empty battlefield!
