Chapter 102: Bloody Battle in Handan, Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky! (Subscribe)
Cangzhou, Handan city.

It was a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and the entire city wall of Handan had been dyed red by the blood of the soldiers who had died in these days.

Jiang Li had to admit that he had underestimated these so-called rebels in the city.

They actually held out for five whole days with a force of 10,000 men!

Although he also discovered that the people in the city were also participating in the war, what would happen even if these people were included?
It had been five days but the city had not been taken. For a general like Jiang Li, he felt it was a real humiliation!

However, under the high-intensity attack of 50,000 officers and soldiers, the casualties of the entire Handan city defenders were extremely serious.

Both the rebels and the civilians in the city were already exhausted.

"brothers!!!"

“Break open the city gate!!!”

Under the city wall of Handan, Jiang Li was still shouting loudly.

He had already received the news that Lin Zhongyun was withdrawing his troops, so he was naturally a little anxious.

However, as a general, Jiang Li was very clear about the marching speed of the 100,000-strong army!
This is not something in the novel where nothing can be accomplished in a flash. The marching speed of an army of 100,000 is actually much slower. According to Jiang Li's analysis, it will take at least ten days for Lin Zhongyun to get back to Handan!

And this was when Lin Zhongyun needed to march quickly!
If this is the case, then even if he faces 100,000 tired soldiers, he will not be afraid, after all, the troops from Yuzhou have already arrived.

However, Jiang Li still wanted to break into the entire Handan city before Lin Zhongyun returned.

After all, this is a huge achievement for him.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"."

A group of officers and soldiers were also roaring at this time, and one after another they rushed towards the Handan City in front of them again!
On the top of the city wall, Zhuo Zongxiang's eyes were bloodshot and his face was exhausted. His entire body was completely stained with blood and he no longer looked like a human at all.

In five days, the officers and soldiers entered the city three times.

However, they were killed one after another by the heroic rebels. As the main general, he naturally bore the brunt of the attack.

He was already exhausted at this time, but he was still struggling to hold on.

Defending Handan was the task left to him by Lin Zhongyun, how could he not insist?
As one of the people who followed Lin Zhongyun from the beginning, Zhuo Zongxiang was actually a refugee like Lin Zhongyun.

Over the years, he has lost count of how many times he has experienced life and death.

But this was the only time that he had no fear. Facing the soldiers who were charging towards him from afar, even though his body had long been numb to the point of not feeling the pain, he still did not show any fear. Instead, he rushed forward directly.

The same is true for other rebel forces!
After so many days of training, his faith had already become extremely firm.

retreat?

Live a miserable life?

Why should they retreat?

Why should they have to live in disgrace and endure humiliation?
"kill!!!"

"I'm going to kill you beasts!!! I'm going to kill you beasts!!!"

"You don't want us to live? I won't live this time! I must kill all of you beasts!!!"

"Mr. Lin is right. The imperial court is unjust! They don't treat us as human beings at all! They don't want us to live a good life!!"

"I just want my parents and wife to have enough to eat every day! You beasts won't even agree to this?"

"."

Roars continued to sound at this moment.

Among them are rebels and civilians!

That's right, the people still did not retreat. On the contrary, as the situation in Handan City became worse and worse, more and more people joined the garrison to defend the city gates.

They don't have any choice.

Now they have already established close ties with Handan City and Lin Zhongyun.

The reclaimed farmland is their hope for survival!
If Handan City is captured, all this will be over! !

Even many women, children and the elderly whose relatives had died joined in.

Of course, they couldn't go up to the top of the city wall to fight with the officers and soldiers, but they helped to reinforce the city gates.

The sounds of fighting continued to echo throughout Handan City!
Below the city walls, officers and soldiers were banging on the city gate frantically!

boom!
boom!
boom!
Although this city gate has been reinforced over the past few days.

But don’t forget, the soldiers had already knocked it open three times!!!

Although the gate of Handan City was strong, it was no longer in its strongest condition when it was knocked open for the first time. Even if it was reinforced again, when the gate bolts began to tremble, it was no longer possible to defend the gate.

Finally, with the inconvenience of the officers and soldiers, they exerted their strength!
There was a loud bang!
The next moment, the city gate that looked like a mountain was directly knocked open!
"kill!!!"

There was no time to say more, and Jiang Li didn't even need to give any orders. The officers and soldiers, whose minds were already overwhelmed by the interests and merits, immediately rushed towards the city!
The defenders in the city, who had been prepared for this, immediately came forward at this moment.

The two sides once again launched a decisive battle on the post road in Handan city!
There is no way out!

The rebels could only repel the officers and soldiers by taking advantage of the narrowness of the post road.

They had a huge difference in numbers! If the soldiers were allowed to completely cross the post road and enter the city, they would have no chance of winning!
They could only repel the enemy again as they had done before!

Screams rang out instantly. It was obvious that the two sides had become furious over the fighting in the past few days and continued to fight in the narrow post road.

The post road was very narrow, which could be said to have limited the combat effectiveness of both the rebel army and the government soldiers.

The first to bear the brunt were naturally the officers and soldiers and the rebels who were at the forefront.

They had no way to retreat and could only keep charging forward. If they fell down, they would be trampled to death by the people rushing up from behind!

In this most direct and bloodiest battle, what matters is whether both sides will feel fear!

The rebels would naturally not be afraid. Now, almost everyone who can still stand in front of the city to defend it is loyal to Lin Zhongyun!
but--

Don't forget, there are only 10,000 rebels!

During the several days of siege, officers and soldiers could take turns attacking and resting, but the rebels could not!
With only 10,000 men, they faced the attack from the officers and soldiers and they had no extra time to rest!

And now Lin Zhongyun is not in the city!
Without the support of skills, the rebels' current combat power is actually not as good as that of the officers and soldiers. Although they have undergone such a long period of recovery and training, their combat power is no longer comparable to that of the past.

But there is still a gap between them and the officers and soldiers!

Not to mention it’s at this extremely tiring time!
After less than an hour of bloody fighting, the rebel army was already at a great disadvantage and was about to be driven off the post road by the government soldiers, completely losing all hope!
The most crucial thing is that once the city gate below is broken, the battle on the top of the city will be far from easy!

There are simply too many officers and soldiers!

Moreover, Jiang Li mobilized the entire army today. It was obvious that he had already noticed the situation in Handan City. He wanted to take Handan in one fell swoop before Lin Zhongyun returned!
"It's over!"

Zhuo Zongxiang naturally understood this.

He first slashed down the enemy in front of him with a sword. Listening to the noise below the city wall, he couldn't help but muttered, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry." His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the south, as if he was looking at something from a distance. Although his eyes were full of unwillingness, he was powerless.

He was too tired.

I was so tired that I didn't even have the strength to stand.

As soon as he finished speaking, the weapon in his hand fell to the ground, and then he fell to the ground and fainted.

Below the city walls, as the rebel army was about to be forced out of the post road, the people in the city began to show despair on their faces.

There is no hope!
There is absolutely no hope!

They can't hold on!

The children who were carrying stones for the defenders seemed to understand something. The stones in their hands fell to the ground and they let out childish cries.

This is what their parents and elders told them. As long as they block the city gate tightly with stones, they will be safe and Lord Lin will come back to save them.

They don't understand what the world and the country are.

At their age, they only know when they have a good life.

These days are the best time of their lives!
Being able to eat enough and having energy to play are things they have never experienced before.

But all this is about to disappear!

Because they didn't build up the mound, they were too slow!

"mother."

Among them, a young man was looking at the city gate stubbornly, his eyes slightly red: "Are we going to live the same life as before?"

Hearing this, the woman wiped the tears from the corners of her mouth, but did not respond.

Back to the old days?
If the city were to fall, they might not even be able to live their lives as before!
If they help the rebels strengthen the city’s defenses, will the imperial court really let them go?
What if I let it go?

Wouldn't you still starve to death in this cold and frosty world?

It's all over!!!

"Brothers! Even if we have to die, let's die happily. Lord Lin has treated us well, how can we abandon him?"

"That's right! Brothers, don't let these lackeys of the dog court look down on us! We, the rebels, are not beasts! Compared to them, we, the rebels, are the real heroes!"

"I will fight you guys!! I will fight you guys!!!"

"Fuck the imperial court! I've chosen Lord Lin for my whole life!!!"

"."

The roars rang out again!
This is the voice of the rebels!
Even in this situation, they still have no intention of surrendering! !

No one escaped!

Looking at the post road that was like a human flesh harvester, one rebel army after another rushed towards it, trying to repel the government troops.

But all this is just a drop in the bucket!
Instead, the officers and soldiers fought further and further forward. The impending victory completely activated the fighting spirit of these officers and soldiers, and the attack became more and more frantic.

On the top of the city wall, with the fall of Zhuo Zongxiang, the battle on the top of the city wall was gradually coming to an end.

Faced with the soldiers who were climbing up the ladders like a tide, despair gradually appeared on the faces of the rebels.

Everything is completely over!
For them now, the only option is death!
"Mr. Lin!!!"

"Mr. Lin!!!"

"Mr. Lin!!!"

"."

It seemed that everyone had thought of the same thing, and the first soldier whispered softly.

The next moment, the rebel beside him muttered something.

Then it gradually turned into shouts!
faith!

Absolute faith!
Lin Zhongyun has now become a true god in the hearts of these rebels.

Looking at the officers and soldiers coming at them aggressively, each of them shouted "Mr. Lin" like a righteous soldier, and rushed towards them, fighting for their lives!
Gradually, more and more people began to shout "Mr. Lin".

The same was true even for the rebels under the city walls.

These two words seemed to give them courage, making them not afraid of death at all.

And the people also joined in.

No matter they were children, women, or the elderly, they were all shouting loudly with pleading looks on their faces.

They begged the god who had brought them new life to come and save them and not to give up on them!!!

"Brothers!! Charge in!!!"

Outside the city gate, Jiang Li's face was filled with excitement and he could not contain the joy in his heart!

The city is broken!!

The city is broken!!

This is a huge achievement for him.

There is no worry in this life!

How could he not be excited?
As for the shouts from within the city, he paid no attention to them at all and just thought of them as the barking of dogs!
How could a hundred thousand soldiers arrive in such a short time?

And what can I do if I rush over?
The city gate has been broken!

Thinking of this, Jiang Li's expression became more and more excited. He immediately picked up his weapon and wanted to supervise the battle again!
but!
Just at this moment.

A very dense sound of war horse hooves sounded from behind.

Jiang Li's excited expression suddenly froze at this moment.

He subconsciously looked back!

Then, his expression changed drastically, visibly!
In the field of vision, the darkness gradually became solid.

The next moment, he suddenly realized that it was the enemy!
It’s a huge crowd!
There is no end in sight!

And the speed is extremely fast.

In this short moment, the enemy was almost rushing in front of him!
Almost as an instinctive action, Jiang Li immediately pulled the reins, and the warhorse under his command made a loud hoofbeat sound.

next moment.

His expression changed visibly!

He had no time to think about why Lin Zhongyun came back to help so quickly, and why the spies he sent out did not send back any news.

Looking at the rebels approaching him, he could only yell:
"Meet the enemy!!!"

“Meet the enemy!!!”
