C785

Zhang Tong's appearance had only attracted a portion of Ning Jun's forces, but there were already many Ning Jun's forces attacking the entrance, and he was not able to alleviate the pressure on Gu Yue's side.

On the other side of the gate tunnel, Gu Yue was the only one who was resisting the enemy. Not only did he have to protect himself, he also had to protect his own brothers who were holding up the thousand kilogram gate from being harmed by the Ning army.

This was too difficult, up till now, Gu Yue had already exhausted most of his energy and strength, he was panting and sweating profusely, but he did not dare stop to rest, even if his lungs were about to explode, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

The Ning Army was unable to attack for a long time, so the large group of people from Feng Army were getting closer and closer. Release arrows and kill Thief Feng! " Hearing the General of Ning Country's shout, the archers of the Ning Army all took out their bows and arrows, and started shooting randomly towards the hole of the city gate.

The dense rain of arrows whistled through the air, but Gu Yue was unable to dodge them.

Even though he knew he couldn't resist, he still stood where he was, waving the Spiritual Knife and calling up the arrows with all his might.

He could block one or ten of them, but he couldn't block more than a few hundred. Soon enough, a flying arrow pierced through his blade and nailed him to his spirit armor.

Suffering from the impact, Gu Yue's body swayed slightly, his blade also slowed down a bit. In the instant he stopped, at least 10 Eagle Feather Arrow s pierced into his body again, the arrowheads collided against his spirit armor, causing tinkling sounds, and sparks flew everywhere in the dark cave.

Seeing that the arrows were effective, Ning Jun shot even more ferociously and quickly, but unfortunately for Gu Yue, he was unable to use his entire body's worth of skills, so he could only stand there and be beaten up.

His arms, shoulders, torso, and legs had all been stabbed with over twenty Eagle Feather Arrow s. They were all dripping with fresh blood, which was shocking to the eye, but even so, Gu Yue still did not fall, and continued to wave his Spiritual Knife, and now, he was completely using his own body as a shield for the Feng Soldier behind him.

The Feng Soldier that was holding the gate open could clearly see everything. Tears streamed down their faces as they shouted, "General, you can leave first. We can hold on ?" Their shouts entered Gu Yue's ears, but the latter did not even have a reaction, and continued to blindly swing his blade in the air.

Gu Yue's consciousness had long since become hazy, and could no longer hear anything. The only thing that supported him was his conviction that he could not fall down, and could not retreat. His mission was to guard the city gate, and ensure that it was not lost.

The Feng Army behind were wailing, and Ning Jun on the other side was releasing arrows nonstop. In the end, even Gu Yue's body was covered with countless arrows, looking like a hedgehog covered with black thorns.

If it was any other person, they would have already fallen, but Gu Yue was still standing there, even Ning Jun who was releasing the arrows was dumbfounded, not knowing if his opponent was a human or a monster.

"Release the arrows!" "Continue to shoot?" Seeing that the arrows had slowed down, the General of Ning Country among the crowd let out a different howl.

Before he could even finish his words, three Spirit Cultivator s suddenly appeared beside him. The three of them slashed their sabers at the same time, hacking the General of Ning Country into pieces.

Ning Jun cried out in fear. She only stopped for a moment as she was surrounded by people who were shouting loudly.

Out of the three Spirit Cultivator s, one of them directly used Shadow Shift to flash into the cave, while the other two stayed back to fight with Ning Jun.

Ning Jun had been killed by the two Spiritual Knife s one row after another, but not only did the number of people not decrease, it had even increased. After fighting for a short period of time, the two Spirit Cultivator of Dark s were unable to hold on, and their spirit armor were filled with cracks.

In a flash, one of them was struck in the back of the waist by the halberd, following that, more and more pikes pierced through his body, forcefully blocking him. Following that, many of the Ning Army's troops rushed forward as if they had gone mad, slashing and stabbing at the same time, the cold light and spurting blood arrows could already see the figure of the Spirit Cultivator.

The other man saw his comrade die miserably, the Spiritual Knife in his hands waving around even more crazily. Just at the same time that he was chopping and killing the enemy, he himself was also constantly being hit.

In the chaos of battle, even the Spirit Cultivator of Dark with her high cultivation found it hard to protect herself. The living beings that were alive and kicking just a moment ago could be cut into pieces in the blink of an eye.

He had entered the cave and looked ahead. He was stunned, if he was not so familiar with Gu Yue, it would be difficult for him to recognise that the person standing in front of the copper door was Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin, who was a cold-hearted and heartless Spirit Cultivator of Dark, felt her heart ache when she saw Gu Yue's current appearance. Her tears couldn't help but fall as he hurried forward and called out with a trembling voice, "Gu Yue ?" Just as he arrived in front of Gu Yue, the latter's body suddenly trembled. Her lifeless and unfocused eyes immediately held a fierce light, and she shouted loudly: "Kill?" While speaking, she raised her blade and chopped down at Cheng Jin's head.

Clang!

His blade slashed at Cheng Jin's head, and only made a slight cracking sound, but did not injure the opponent's spirit armor in the slightest. Gu Yue's consciousness had long since disappeared, and even his strength had become miniscule.

After slashing one slash, Gu Yue continued to slash twice and thrice ? The blade hit the spirit armor and produced a series of clangs. Cheng Jin did not dodge, and directly rushed to Gu Yue's front, supporting his body, he shouted loudly: "Gu Yue, it's me, I'm Cheng Jin!" It was unknown if it was because he had exhausted his energy or if he had really heard Cheng Jin's words, but Gu Yue's movement stopped. He stood there blankly for two seconds, then fell down straight down.

"Gu Yue?" This time, no matter how hard Cheng Jin tried to call out to him, Gu Yue, who was in his embrace, did not react at all. Even after swallowing his last breath, his hand was still tightly holding onto his battle blade, and his eyes were furiously staring in front of him.

"General ?" "Woo woo ?" The Feng Soldier s behind couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Outside the city gate cave. Ning Jun was still shouting, "The Feng Army outside is fast approaching, release the arrows!" "Release arrows?" Cheng Jin slowly put down Gu Yue's body, then slowly pried open his fingers and grabbed the blade Gu Yue was using. Following that, Black Fog s appeared around and he disappeared as well. At almost the same time, the Ning Army Camp outside produced a series of miserable cries.

At this time, the Feng Army outside the city endured the arrows shooting from the city walls, and finally reached the city gate. More than ten Feng Army s replaced their comrades and carried the copper lock, while the replaced Feng Soldier s all knelt around Gu Yue's corpse, hugging their heads and crying.1

Feng Army poured unceasingly into the city from outside the city. The first to rush in was Heavenly Eagle Army, which was also the most elite division, followed by the second, third, and fourth ? Regiment.

Following the influx of a large amount of Feng Army into the city, Ning Jun completely lost all will to fight.

Zi Ying immediately passed down the order, leaving behind two legions to take over Liangzhou. The other legions chased after the routed Ning Country with all their might, and took the chance to rush into the city to kill.

At this point of the battle, the three thousand Feng Army s who were disguised as the Ning Army had finally completed their mission and were going to count the number of people.

Out of the three thousand soldiers, only around twenty of them survived. Out of the twenty twenty Hidden Arrow Crew s, only seven or eight remained. In addition, of the four General of Feng Country s that entered the city, only Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan survived.

Gu Yue died miserably, he had been struck by over fifty arrows, but he still had his corpse intact, and worst of all, Zhang Tong's corpse could not even be found. When everyone was cleaning the battlefield, they only found his helmet that was drenched in blood, and that his corpse could either be chopped into pieces or stomped into mincemeat.

When Zi Ying entered the city, he coincidentally caught Zhang Tong just in time to run down from the City Gate Tower. Seeing that General of Ning Country had suddenly appeared, the Heavenly Eagle Army Warriors swarmed around him and Zhang Tong immediately shouted out, "Brother Feng Army, don't misunderstand me, I am Zhang Tong, one of our people!" Zi Ying was personally helping Gu Yue with the arrows, and upon hearing Zhang Tong's shout, he turned his head to look, and waved to the soldiers under him, signalling them to not do anything.

Just by looking at Zi Ying's armor, Zhang Tong could tell that he was a high ranked officer from the Feng Army. He slipped away like a wisp of smoke and rushed towards Zi Ying, but before he could even get near, he was stopped by the guards surrounding Zi Ying.

He did not mind, and cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Zi Ying's back, then said: "I am Zhang Tong, and do not know this general's name?" Zi Ying did not answer nor did he turn to look at him. Her hands trembled as he pulled out the arrows from Gu Yue's body, and choked with emotions as he muttered: "As the commander of the army, of course I have to live and die with the brothers under my command. But even though it sounds simple, but how many generals under the heavens can actually do that?" "Despite knowing that there is a slim chance of survival, he is willing to fight alongside his soldiers. He would rather die than retreat even half a step. This is my, a man of steel ?" At the same time that he muttered to himself, the droplets of water would occasionally sink onto Gu Yue's body.

Only after he pulled out the last arrow did Zi Ying slowly stand up. At the same time, he carried a bloodstained helmet with both arms, one for Gu Yue and one for Zhang Tong.

When he turned around, Zhang Tong was finally able to see his face clearly. However, he was also shocked by his tears.

"This general ?" "I am Zi Ying!" Zi Ying did not wipe his tears as well. He calmly met Zhang Tong's gaze and reported his name.

Tears for strong warriors like Gu Yue and Zhang Tong, even in front of enemies, was not a shameful thing.

Aiya! So this person was actually the Zi Ying who was known as the son of a bitch. Zhang Tong was startled for a moment, then hastily cupped his hands and bowed, and said: "General Zhang Tong greets General Zi Ying!" "This commander cannot afford it!" Zi Ying said casually as he walked past Zhang Tong.

Even if he was not there, it was not hard for Zi Ying to guess that Zhang Tong did not wholeheartedly assist his side at the time. Otherwise, as the City Guard Chief General, it would be very easy for him to disrupt the Ning Army's mobility.

He called for a deputy general as he walked. Before he could open his mouth, his tears fell again. He slowly handed the helmet to the deputy general and said in a trembling voice, "Return to the camp and hand it to the king ?"
