Chapter 400 was exceptionally brutal.
"Damn it, it looks like the city's army. Lord Bei, Lord Sikong, are you kidding us? Charging in like this is practically suicide!"
"Lord Bei, let's retreat first, I have a bad feeling!"
'Damn it, did that bastard master misremember the signal flare?' Berger also pulled on the reins with some annoyance, cursing Sikong Jin under his breath.
Look at the formation ahead!
Is this a situation where you can just rush in without thinking?
The arrow towers above are constantly firing arrows at them; if they charge forward, they'll be turned into pincushions!
But who were those people wielding swords and fighting on the city wall just now?
Just as Berger was hesitating in frustration about whether to withdraw his troops, the roar of the Minister of Works suddenly came from the front, "Damn it, you bunch of idiots! I told you to shoot into the city, but the people outside are our own..."
Berger could tell that Lord Sikong spoke with the accent of the Heavenly Sacred City, and he even swore a few times.
"But, sir, they are wearing the uniforms of the Dayong army, and they just shouted to attack the city..."
As soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, a wronged and puzzled voice rang out.
"Fools! That bastard Sikong Jin's men are elusive and always lying in ambush. If I hadn't made them change into the uniforms of the Dayong army, would our brothers have been able to evade their notice so quickly? Their troops would have already stormed in through the east gate. See? Flames are shooting up over there, and the sound of horses' hooves is chaotic. They're all coming! Why aren't you opening the city gates to let our reinforcements in? If you miss your chance, I'll rip your heads off!"
Lord Sikong cursed angrily.
"Sir, but they have no code or access token!"
"Screw you! Get the hell out of here!"
Lord Sikong impatiently slapped the soldier away and shouted, "Are you still going to sing 'Little Rabbit, open the gate'? Atai, you immediately take men to open the city gate, let the brothers into the city, rush in and capture Sikong Jin alive! Kill Sikong Jin's army! Hurry!"
"Yes! Your lord!"
Atai remained calm and quickly ran down the city wall.
In a short while, the heavy sound of the iron gate opening rang out, and tens of thousands of swords were brandished as they charged into Ganzhou City. The thunderous sound of hooves was deafening, like a surging tide. The warriors shouted as if they had been injected with adrenaline: "Charge! Kill! Charge into the city and capture Sikong Jin alive!"
"Capture Sikong Jin, the Skinner, alive!"
"Capture Sikong Jin alive, tear out his tendons, and eat his flesh!"
Their angry shouts of killing sounded as if Sikong Jin had killed their entire family. They gritted their teeth and cursed as they spurred their horses forward. With such deep hatred, these brothers must have suffered at the hands of Sikong Jin's army on the road. How pitiful!
Especially seeing their hateful expressions, as if they wanted to tear Sikong Jin to pieces!
The Tian Sheng soldiers on the city wall thought this way: in such a chaotic scene, it was rare that they still had the leisure to think about these so-called 'brothers'. But as it turns out, those who have a heart full of pity are often the ones who suffer!
Before the Tian Sheng soldiers could recover, taking advantage of the lull, Si Kong Jin's army's assault team had already made their move. With a throw of climbing ropes, groups of soldiers coordinated perfectly, dozens of soldiers leaping up and stomping on the shoulders of their brothers on horseback in front of them, pulling on the climbing ropes and nimbly rushing back up the city wall!
A few 'thud' sounds were heard, and before everyone could recover, several shrill screams came from the arrow tower in the shadows. As the main force entered the city, the sounds of fierce fighting immediately came from the city walls.
"Wrong! Wrong! We're on the same side!"
"Huh! Why are you hitting your own people?"
"Kill Sikong Jin! Kill him!"
As the main force entered the city, chaos immediately erupted within the city. Some of the troops who rushed to meet the enemy were soldiers from a certain family army in Tiansheng. Their uniforms were quite varied and their formations were not uniform. Coupled with the dark and rainy night, their ability to distinguish each other was not very good, so they became a complete mess!
Berger and his men were alright; they simply chopped down anyone who wasn't wearing the uniform of the Dayong army. Of course, the soldiers were shouting things like, "Kill Sikong Jin!" "I'm going to tear Sikong Jin's tendons out! I'm going to skin him alive!" They all seemed to have a deep-seated hatred for Sikong Jin, and they were shouting very fiercely.
After dealing with the last Heavenly Saint soldier on the arrow tower, Lady Sikong turned to look at the scene of carnage in the city and heard those bastards cursing her, threatening to eat her flesh and drink her blood. Her delicate face, hidden under her cloak, immediately darkened, and she said angrily, "Atai, you keep an eye on them. Whoever shouts the loudest about killing me, you remember that!"
How loyal he usually is to her, but when he starts cursing, he's practically courting death! What kind of grudge does he have against Sikong Jin? This is outrageous!
However, those men didn't wait for Atai to keep an eye on them. They charged forward like wild beasts, howling. Sparks flew everywhere from clashing swords in the rain, horses neighed, and the screams and cries of warriors tore through the long night. Chaos reigned everywhere. In less than two hours, the city was a river of blood, with corpses everywhere. The ground and walls were covered with splattered flesh and severed limbs, making it look extremely gruesome.
The storm came suddenly and violently, and the generals and officials guarding the city of Ganzhou could hardly react. When they received the news that the city's grain supplies had suddenly been burned, they rushed over to direct the firefighting efforts. However, they were surprised to find that a large group of beggars had come from nowhere and wanted to loot the grain supplies. So they dispatched some people to suppress the fire and sent someone to report the situation to the military commander in the city. However, they could not find the person anywhere!
Just when they were in a panic, Sikong Jin's army launched an attack on the city under the cover of heavy rain, catching them completely off guard!
The fierce battle continued into the late hours of the night. By the time Meng Benbo arrived with tens of thousands more troops, the war was nearing its end. In this chaotic melee, many of Tian Sheng's soldiers died at the hands of their own comrades. As the fighting progressed, they lost all sense of friend from foe, killing anyone whose uniform didn't match their own. This was especially devastating for some of Tian Sheng's local family armies! Due to their organizational structure, their uniforms were a motley collection, making them the first to be hit in the charge!
They shouted as loudly as possible, "We are on the same side!" But it was no use at all!
In such a situation where friend and foe were unclear, some soldiers could only distinguish friend from foe by listening to slogans like "Kill Sikong Jin! Capture Sikong Jin alive!" As soon as they saw these people shouting slogans and charging forward, they also rushed forward, only to realize later that the people next to them were the enemy!
