Chapter 958 Finally, Qiandu is breached!
"Brothers, give it your all! Once we move these barriers aside, we can charge straight in!"
Upon seeing this, Xiong Kuohai was overjoyed, knowing that he was very close to opening the city gates.
He quickly put the bronze rod aside. Although the bronze rod was just a light wooden stick in his hands, he needed the strength of his hands more at this moment.
"Give me a name!"
He strode forward to a horizontal bar, took a deep breath, and his face was covered in bulging veins, like wriggling earthworms, showing the immense pressure he was under.
"drink!"
Xiong Kuohai let out a deafening roar, his broad shoulders suddenly slumped, and he actually managed to lift the crossbar made of refined iron by his own strength.
At this moment, the muscles on his body, with their bulging veins, seemed to be infused with boundless power, swelling so much that they almost burst through his clothes. The iron bars on his shoulders trembled, creaking and groaning, expressing their resentment and helplessness.
"Let's do it together!"
The Yellow Turban soldiers behind Xiong Kuohai stepped forward, using their shoulders to brace the horizontal bar or their hands to support the other end of it. With their combined efforts, they finally managed to move the horizontal bar away from the city gate little by little.
Then Xiong Kuohai repeated the process, moving the remaining four horizontal bars one by one, each movement accompanied by a deafening roar and violent trembling of his muscles.
"Squeak!"
Finally, Xiong Kuohai and his men removed all five horizontal bars above the city gate.
At this moment, the city gate of Qiandu City was like a fortress that had lost its defenses, completely exposed to the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban warriors, who had been ramming the city gate with battering rams outside, were energized by the deafening sounds of battle and the clatter of heavy objects being moved behind the gate, and their attack became even more ferocious.
"Break it open!"
Xiong Kuohai roared, his deafening voice seemingly able to penetrate the heavy city gate, further exciting the Yellow Turban warriors on the other side.
"One, two, crash!"
They shouted in unison and worked together to shake the battering ram, making the enormous ram, like a giant iron fist, smash violently against the city gate with a whistling sound.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the heavy city gate beneath Qiandu City began to tremble violently, dust rose everywhere, and tiny cracks spread rapidly.
This gate was once a solid defensive line of Qiandu, and countless battles had failed to break it. However, at this moment, under the fierce offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, it finally began to teeter on the brink of collapse.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Dozens of Yellow Turban warriors at the city gate shook their battering rams repeatedly, each strike causing the city gate to tremble even more violently.
The cracks on the city gate were increasing and growing larger, as if it would collapse at any moment. Meanwhile, the remaining Qian soldiers behind the city gate were in complete chaos, watching in terror as the city gate was about to be smashed open.
"Hit it again!"
Xiong Kuohai shouted excitedly, his eyes fixed on the dilapidated city gate.
Meanwhile, the Yellow Turban warriors on the other side, though deaf, exerted all their strength, working together to shake the battering ram, making it like an enraged beast, smashing it violently against the city gate with boundless power.
"boom!"
This impact was more violent than any of the previous ones.
With a deafening roar, the city gate finally succumbed to the immense force and shattered, scattering fragments everywhere. The hundreds of burly Yellow Turban warriors who had been guarding the battering ram, waiting to take over, surged past Xiong Kuohai like an unstoppable torrent, instantly engulfing the defenders behind the city gate.
Standing by the city gate, Xiong Kuohai watched as the endless stream of Yellow Turban soldiers and warriors surged into Qiandu like a tidal wave, and a hearty smile finally appeared on his face.
At this moment, they finally broke through Qiandu's defenses, and the capture of Qiandu was just around the corner!
"Haha! My men, let's follow me, Old Bear, and storm into Qiandu, showing those Qian dogs what we're made of!"
Xiong Kuohai laughed loudly, then picked up the bronze staff beside him and charged into Qiandu.
At this moment, Qiandu City was also in chaos. The Qianlong Guards who had fled the city gates and the Imperial Guards who had come to provide support watched in horror as hundreds of tall and burly Yellow Turban Warriors, clad in heavy armor and wielding giant axes, surged in like a tide.
Meanwhile, on the Yellow Turban Army's central command platform outside Qiandu City, Meng Zhang stood tall and imposing, his eyes fixed on the slowly breaching Qiandu City gate. After countless impacts, the heavy gate finally yielded, fragments flying everywhere. The ancient city let out a heavy sigh, announcing the end of its myth of indestructibility.
"The gates of Qiandu have been breached; take Qiandu today!"
With a gentle wave of his command flag, Meng Zhang's gesture was like a divine decree commanding the heavens and earth. Instantly, the entire Yellow Turban Army camp erupted in cheers, and an elite force swiftly responded – the Azure Dragon Legion, Meng Zhang's most prized unit.
The Azure Dragon Legion under Meng Zhang's command was handpicked from hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers. Every soldier underwent rigorous selection, possessing not only superb martial arts skills but also unwavering resolve. They were the cream of the crop among the Yellow Turbans, true warriors forged in blood and fire through countless battles.
Equipped with the finest weapons and armor in the Yellow Turban Army, their iron armor gleamed and gleamed, each set of equipment bearing the painstaking efforts of countless craftsmen. In the armory, spears stood like a forest, and swords were as sharp as frost, each one meticulously crafted and incomparably sharp, waiting to make a name for themselves in battle!
The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion were the best of the Yellow Turban Army. They came from various backgrounds, including heroes from the martial arts world, families with a long military tradition, and many of them were brave warriors who had served in the army of the Great Qian Dynasty and joined the Yellow Turbans because they were dissatisfied with the corruption of the court.
These individuals are not only exceptionally skilled in individual combat, but also adept at teamwork and strategic battle tactics; they are true battlefield elites.
At this moment, with the wave of Meng Zhang's command flag, the Azure Dragon Legion quickly mobilized, like a giant azure dragon, winding and writhing, with a majestic momentum, neat steps, and heavy footsteps that shook the heavens. The azure military flag fluttered in the wind, and the azure dragon totem fluttered in the wind.
"Azure Dragon Legion, advance! Enter the city! Let the defenders of Qiandu see what a truly iron-blooded army is!"
With a wave of Meng Zhang's command flag, the Azure Dragon Legion quickly mobilized, winding its way forward like a giant azure dragon, heading straight for the city gate that had already been breached.
The moment the Azure Dragon Legion surged through the city gates, the entire capital of Qiandu changed color. The azure dragon swept in like a tidal wave, its speed and momentum catching all the defenders in Qiandu off guard.
The Qianlong Guards, who were already in a state of panic due to the Yellow Turban Warriors' fierce attack, were now in even worse shape. Their morale had been shattered, and they were even more vulnerable when facing the elite forces of the Azure Dragon Legion.
