To charge forward while carrying such a cumbersome shield was a recipe for disaster.

One soldier holding a large shield rushed forward a couple of steps but lost his footing and fell to the ground.

In an instant, the rain of arrows turned him into a porcupine.

And the sight of his tragic death sent chills down the spines of the soldiers following behind.

Just then, a young man at the back, also holding a large shield and dressed like an ordinary soldier, suddenly shouted, "The arrows from the other side can't penetrate the defense of a large shield.

Steady yourselves.

form a shield wall and push forward step by step.

The young man's words evidently had an effect, giving the panicked soldiers on the walls a sense of direction, and they gradually steadied themselves.

Through his telescope, Lu G observed this scene with a hint of surprise, but it was only fleeting.

The city gate was already on the verge of collapse.

A few rolling logs and stone projectiles could not save this city, shooting troops.

Be careful of the rolling logs and stone projectiles falling from the walls.

Full assault on the city.

The siege troops already in high spirits knew they were about to counterattack the city of Zhao Dongan.

The soldiers who had experienced the previous battle at Shiuan city were all full of energy.

Under this premise, Lu Gi added fuel to the fire, casting a morale boosting skill that instantly raised the morale of the entire army to a new height.

The city gate is about to fall.

Inside the city, the enemy soldiers shouted an alarm.

The gate, which had been shot through by heavy crossbow bolts and repeatedly struck by siege equipment, finally succumbed to the pressure and collapsed.

The archers ceased their assault.

As their task was complete, the next step was up to the infantry.

Without allowing the infantry to stop, Lu G waved his hand and directly pushed the siege equipment into the brereech.

It was just a siege vehicle.

As long as they could capture the city, he wouldn't mind if it was destroyed afterward.

The siege vehicle crashing into the formation of the shield and axe soldiers on the other side would have a predictable effect.

But it was a pity that it could only make this one charge as the enemy would not provide a second opportunity.

The impact of the siege vehicle created space at the city gate and the subsequent wave of shield and axe soldiers charged in roaring as they entered.

The numerical advantage rendered the outcome of the battle inevitable the moment the gate collapsed.

This made Luo Yong, who had followed Luo Gi, feel a twinge of frustration.

Having spent a long time on the grasslands, he had been eager to return and prove himself, only to find that the enemy was so easily defeated.

Let go.

Let go.

I am the general of the eastern town, appointed by his majesty.

Do you dare to attack the borders of our great Joe? Have you thought about the consequences? Your Majesty, great Joe Zhao.

Upon hearing these two phrases, Lu Gi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He hadn't realized that Zhao Dongan had declared itself an empire.

But then he thought it wasn't he anything surprising.

At that moment, the defending General Jeang Xiuan was brought before Lu Ji by two shield and axe soldiers.

One soldier kicked in the knee, shouting, "Kneel down!" The kick was swift and precise, causing Jeang Xi Juan to fall to his knees before Luo Gi.

As a proud general of the Great Joe, he had never endured such humiliation.

Just as he was about to shout angrily, he suddenly saw a flash of a sword before a clean and decisive strike severed his neck.

End of chapter.

Chapter 262.

Zoey, the scalding fresh blood splattered directly onto his shining armor.

After two unsuccessful attempts, a hint of embarrassment arose in Luo Gi's heart.

He then took the opportunity to step on the shoulder of Jeang Xiuan, who had already turned into a corpse and with a strong pull.

He extracted the bronze sword stuck in the bone.

Ordinary soldiers wouldn't see anything unusual.

And then Lu G swung the sword to shake off the blood on the blade, sheathing it leisurely before expressionlessly telling the guard beside him to remember to inform Lou's shoe that the blade needed to be sharpened again.

He had initially intended to decapitate with one strike.

But it turned out he was overestimating the sharpness of bronze weapons in this era with one strike.

It got stuck in the bone and couldn't be pulled out.

Of course, from another perspective, it might also be due to his lack of strength, as his fighting style leaned towards agility, unlike Lu Yong, who could cleave anyone in half with a single ax swing.

Chief, what should we do with the prisoners? Hearing this, Lu Gi glanced at the group of prisoners who had already surrendered in the distance.

The city's defending force was probably around 5 or 600.

After a siege battle, nearly half had died and the remaining half surrendered after Luog's shield act soldiers surged into the city and surrounded them.

In the current situation, if he chose to accept these prisoners, there was a risk they might turn against them before the battle, which will be detrimental to them and could even hurt his army's morale.

However, if he left these prisoners behind, it could also lead to trouble if they caused any disturbances.

With this thought, Lu Gi immediately spoke, "Kill them all.

" As soon as he said this, the young enemy soldier who had just been captured by a shield act soldier from the city wall changed his expression drastically and began to struggle frantically.

Stop.

We've already surrendered.

Don't you think this is too cruel? Upon hearing this, Lu G paused, then suddenly revealed a chilling smile.

Sorry, but I've always been cold-blooded and ruthless towards enemies, especially cruel.

Luog's decisiveness and ruthlessness clearly exceeded the young man's expectations.

But he was evidently unwilling to accept his fate so easily.

He shouted again, "I understand you're worried about us turning against you or causing disturbances, but what if I can ensure that the other soldiers will obey?" The young man's words caused a flicker of surprise in Lu G's eyes, setting aside everything else.

This young man was quick-witted and quite bold.

However, that wasn't enough to change Luo Gi's mind.

Don't waste your breath.

Your army has committed unforgivable crimes in my city.

My people cannot tolerate your existence.

Do you understand? Lu G's tone was so calm, it was desparing, for it indicated that the young man's previous words had failed to sway his decision, and instead he was the one shaken by Lu G's words.

As a soldier, he was well aware of what the army of Dhao would do after capturing a city.

Pillaging, raping, and a multitude of horrifying acts.

There were so many that at that moment the young man didn't know how to refute, even though he felt ashamed to be associated with such people.

He had no power to stop those things from happening continuously.

"You can't judge everyone based on the actions of a few.

That's too tyrannical and doineering.

" The young man argued stubbornly.

Inevitably, the other party's remarks piqued Luo G's interest slightly.

So what? Tyranny and dominance are privileges of the strong.

If you say I'm tyrannical, I'll admit it without hesitation.

Yes, I am tyrannical.

What about it? This attitude left the young man feeling caught off guard.

At that moment, the young man suddenly realized he was wrong.

This man before him was not like the monarch he had in mind.

He wouldn't pretend to be wise or act like a saint.

openly displaying his tyrannical nature without a hint of hypocrisy.

However, regarding his own life, the young man clearly couldn't just give up.

Wait, I can guarantee I can ensure that everyone I choose has never done those heinous things.

And I can provide you with intelligence about other cities, even help you capture the next one without thinking any further.

The young man threw all his chips on the table.

During the siege, the messenger had already rushed here, meaning that other cities were now on high alert.

If a force assault occurred, his army would surely suffer significant losses.

But if I help you, the situation will be different.

I can lead other surrendered soldiers to help you deceive them into opening the city gates.

I used to be a centurion in the army, and there are people in the other cities who know me.

Once we get in, we can directly seize control of the city gates.

Given your army's strength, you can easily capture the second city before the reinforcements arrive.
