Chapter 133: Breaking Through The City.

One shot killed the Mighty Ape.

But Chu Ding’s body also fell from the city wall to the ground, which the Barbarians took advantage of and immediately surrounded him from all directions.

Chu Ding didn’t panic. He picked up the corpse of the Mighty Ape and threw it at the Barbarians.

[Boom-]!

It was like a mountain falling down, and a large number of Barbarians were squished, incurring broken bones.

Immediately after, Chu Ding’s Armor Qi body burst out, blowing the arrow rain away.

Chu Ding did not retreat, but rather advanced. He frantically pierced with his spear, which constantly reaped the lives of the Barbarians.

In the Barbarians army’s rear.

When Merba saw that Chu Ding had fallen off the city wall, murderous intent flared in his eyes.

“While you were on the city wall, I wasn’t sure about killing you. But now, you dare rush forward? You are seeking death!”

His thoughts moved and he stepped up in the air. Air waves erupted under his feet as he “walked” towards Jin City.

“General, be careful. Merba is here!”

As soon as Merba moved, the people on the city wall immediately discovered it.

Hearing this, Chu Ding’s heart moved, but he did not immediately retreat. His long spear raged like a dragon, piercing several Barbarians. It then shook and smashed several more Barbarians corpses around.

It was only then, did Chu Ding begin to retreat back to the city wall. Using his strength to jump by about 10 feet, he then pierced the city wall with his spear. After a short pause, Chu Ding would take out the spear and jump again, before finally piercing his spear into the city wall. He repeated the process and climbed towards the top.

In less than two breaths, Chu Ding was back on the top of the city wall.

The next moment, the cart crossbows shot out, and several huge arrows bombarded Merba.

In response, Merba punched and shattered an arrow.

Subsequently, Merba forcibly urged his True Qi again, and he flew three feet higher, leading the several arrows that should have gone for his head passing through his feet instead.

He stepped on the arrows and used them for leverage. His body shot towards the city wall.

“Fire the arrows!”

“Everyone shoot at Merba!”

Seeing that the first round of crossbow shots did not work and it was too late to load the second round of crossbows, the other Commanders immediately directed their soldiers to fire arrows.

A dense rain of arrows immediately burst forth.

Merba burst out laughing, his Armor Qi held up, blocking a large number of arrows.

“A mere arrow rain wants to stop me? How ridiculous!”

With a punch, all of the arrows that approached him were broken.

At this time, Merba was less than three feet away from the city wall. His fierce aura made the people’s faces change color.

“With this General here, you won’t be able to step foot into Jin City!”

Chu Ding roared. All of the True Qi, Qi and blood in his body condensed into one point. The veins on his arms bulged and the wound on his shoulder that had healed opened up once again, blood flowing out from under the armor.

Chu Ding simply ignored it, as his aura reached an unprecedented peak.

The next moment, he thrusted his spear.

[Boom-]!

A burst of air exploded and the air waves split from the two ends of the spear. The current Chu Ding seemed to have been completely integrated with the spear.

In the face of this extremely powerful attack, Merba also had a solemn expression on his face.

He punched, which collided against the edge of the spear with his flesh and blood.

Kacha-

It was as if the space itself broke.

A terrifying gust of wind broke out between the two’s clash.

The spear broke and the violent vibration caused Chu Ding to cough up blood, before he fell back.

At the same time, Merba was also shaken from the air by this powerful force.

His fist was dripping with blood.

Obviously, the punch also caused him some minor injuries.

At the moment Merba fell, a lot of stones and kerosene were poured down, trying to completely drown the Barbarian Commander.

Seeing this, Merba could only wave his fists to smash the stones. At the same time, he pulled away and stepped back.

The crisis was temporarily gone.

On the city wall, Chu Ding was still coughing up blood. The blow just now had caused a lot of damage, and his internal organs were almost displaced.

Fortunately, Merba was successfully intercepted.

Otherwise, when the other side arrived at the city wall, only death awaited them.

“Are you alright, General!?”

“I won’t die yet!”

Chu Ding waved his hand and took a few deep breaths to calm down his boiling blood. He looked at the spear that had broken into two pieces with a hint of regret in his eyes.

This spear had followed him for many years, he didn’t expect it to be lost here.

“Prepare the city and resist the enemies for a while. We will soon open the city gates and fight the Barbarians inside!”

Judging from the current situation, there was no way for them to resist for long.

Only by opening the city gates and taking advantage of the city’s terrain, could they continue to deal with the Barbarians.

Hearing this, the Black Tiger Army Commanders nodded.

Due to his serious injuries, Chu Ding temporarily retreated from the city wall, and used the time to recover.

In the Black Tiger Army, there was actually no shortage of medicinal herbs for healing injuries.

On the other side, the Barbarians continued to besiege the city.

After slashing his sword at the arrows that came flying at him, Nie Xu looked at the fallen Black Tiger Army troops around him and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

“Governor Nie, prepare to retreat!”

A voice sounded from beside him.

Nie Xu didn’t turn his head to look. Rather, he kept resisting any incoming arrows, while beheading the Barbarians who climbed up the city wall.

“Are you going to give up the defense of the city walls?”

“Yes!”

Wen Ce nodded and said in a deep voice.

“The Barbarians’ offensive is too aggressive. It is no longer suitable for us to stick to the city wall. It is better to let them in and fight inside!”

“Alright!”

Nie Xu did not object. After beheading another Barbarian, he turned around and went down the city wall.

He also understood that it was not the best choice to continue to stick to the city wall.

“The enemy army can’t stand it anymore, attack the city with all of your strength! We must take Jin City today!”

On the Barbarians’ side.

At this time, they could clearly feel that the resistance of the Black Tiger Army was weakening.

For them, the weakening of the resistance meant that their siege was about to succeed.

With the first Barbarian managing to climb the walls, a second and third one followed immediately after.

Soon, the Barbarians occupied the dominant position on the city wall, while the Black Tiger Army retreated one after another.

In less than half an hour, the city gate, which was originally tightly closed, suddenly opened, and a large number of Barbarians rushed in frantically.

“The city is open!”

The Barbarian Shaman said in a deep voice, with a slight smile on his face.

Beside him, Merba, who had returned, nodded in satisfaction.

The city was broken through.

That meant the Black Tiger Army had lost its last hold.

The only thing left to do was to wipe out the remaining Black Tiger Army troops in the city.

In his opinion, destroying the remaining Black Tiger Army troops in the city was much easier than breaking through the city gate.

“Pass my order. Leave 20,000 troops to guard outside, while the rest enter the city and destroy the remaining Qin people in the city!”

Merba waved his hand and gave new orders.

Immediately, the war horn of the Barbarians sounded again, and the Barbarians poured into Jin City like a tide.

Seeing this scene, the Barbarian Shaman seemed to have thought of something, and could not help frowning.

“Lord Merba, is it possible that the Black Tiger Army has set up an ambush in the city?”

“What kind of ambush do you think the roughly thousands of remnants of the Black Tiger Army can set up? Could their ambush bury our army?”

Merba asked back.

Even if there was an ambush, it would only be a small problem.

Without the convenience of the city wall, the Black Tiger Army had no way to resist the attack of the Barbarians. 

""

Against the remaining thousands of Black Tiger Army troops, with the number of Barbarians, the latter could drown the former with just their saliva. 

It was precisely because of such confidence, that Merba dared to boldly enter the city.

“In the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile!”

Merba then drove the giant beast under him and also headed towards Jin City.

Hearing this, the Barbarian Shaman also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with the current advantage of the Barbarians, there was no need to worry so much.

After sieging the city for so long, the strength of the Black Tiger Army was basically exhausted. 

What could the remaining survivors do?

A large influx of Barbarians filled the empty streets of Jin City.

“Find all of the Qin people in the city, and leave no one!”

A Barbarian General riding on a tiger said with a cruel smile on his face.

After sieging the city for so long, their loss was not light.

Now, he definitely wanted to make the Black Tiger Army pay the price they deserved.

“Yes!”

The Barbarian troops obeyed, and began to search in all of the areas.

Jin City occupied a large area.

It could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people without a problem. In addition, there were buildings blocking people’s line of sight, so it was not easy to find the hiding Black Tiger Army.

It would have been much simpler if the Mighty Apes razed down all of the buildings flat.

However, with the city wall blocking them, there was no way for the Mighty Apes to go in. The city gate was too narrow, and there was no way to accommodate such beasts.

They could only do so if they destroyed the city wall.

It was just that if the city wall was really going to be destroyed, the point of capturing Jin City would be significantly reduced. Unless it was a last resort, the Barbarians had no intention of doing so. 

[Bang-]

A closed door was kicked open. Several Barbarians, wearing animal hides while holding large swords, broke into a building, searching for traces of the Black Tiger Army inside and out.

“You go there, I go here. If there is any abnormality, notify me immediately.”

A Barbarian, who seemed to be the leader, looked at the bedrooms and spoke in a deep voice.

The Barbarians immediately scattered and searched.

One of the Barbarians entered a bedroom, which was decorated simply and could be checked with just a glance.

However, being cautious, he still did not leave. Rather, he searched carefully for any place where people might be hiding.

Under the bed, a pair of icy eyes watched the Barbarian slowly approach.

One breath.

Two breaths.

When the Barbarian came to the bed, a cool sword struck out from underneath the bed.

The next moment, the sword swept across–
