The North City is currently guarded by the rebel general Chen Liang, who is brave and good at fighting, and has profound cultivation.

When a group of soldiers approached, the soldier on the watchtower quickly reported to Chen Liang: "General, there are soldiers approaching outside the city!"

When Chen Liang first heard the news, he mistakenly thought that the enemy was attacking. He was shocked and hurriedly climbed up the city gate tower to look out into the distance.

When he saw who was coming, he couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that they were not the enemy, but Lin Kui who had returned from the city for negotiations in the early morning.

He turned around and glared at the soldier who reported the news, and shouted, "Quickly lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

The order was immediately carried out, the drawbridge slowly lowered, and the city gate opened.

Soon, Lin Kui's troops arrived at the city gate.

Chen Liang walked down the city wall and went forward to ask, "Has Lord Lin returned?"

The team stopped, the carriage curtain was slightly lifted, and Lin Kui bowed and walked out.

A soldier quickly stepped forward and offered his hand to help. This man was Duan Tianyang. He did not use any formless magic, but only restrained his pressure.

Seeing this, Lin Kui nodded slightly and was about to thank him, but when he saw Duan Tianyang's sharp eyes, his heart trembled and he swallowed back his gratitude.

Lin Kui held a high position in the rebel army, and it was his duty to support the soldiers. Thanking him would have seemed abrupt.

He took a deep breath and cleared his throat unconsciously, then walked towards Chen Liang opposite him and bowed, "General Chen!"

When Lin Kui approached, Chen Liang also bowed in return, and then asked with concern: "Master Lin, what is the result of this negotiation?"

Lin Kui sighed, waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Oh, don't mention it. Duan Tianyang resolutely refused to accept our peace talks, claiming that only if we surrender and hand over the main city can we have a chance of survival. I am very lucky to be able to escape unscathed this time."

Hearing this, Chen Liang's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Since Duan Tianyang is so ungrateful, there is no need to say more. Our army's walls are high and solid as a rock. Even if the Hongxing Army's millions of troops come to attack us, what can they do to us? If they come one by one, we will kill one; if they come as a team, we will destroy their whole team!"

However, facing Chen Liang's bold words, Lin Kui did not feel any joy in his heart, because Duan Tianyang was standing quietly behind him at this moment, and a chill rose from his spine.

Lin Kui forced a smile, but at the same time he couldn't help but glance back.

This subtle movement did not escape Chen Liang's sight. He subconsciously followed Lin Kui's gaze and saw Duan Tianyang standing beside him with his head down.

This young man is so handsome...

In Chen Liang's memory, there didn't seem to be such a person among Lin Kui's subordinates. He couldn't help but ask: "Master Lin, who is this little brother..."

Following his gaze, Lin Kui turned back and his expression instantly became solemn. He then covered it up with a dry laugh and said, "He is my new subordinate..."

Before he finished speaking, an urgent shout came from the watchtower on the city wall: "General, a large group of cavalry appeared outside the city!"

"Cavalry?" Chen Liang was stunned when he heard this, then turned to Lin Kui and asked anxiously: "Lord Lin, are they our men?"

Lin Kui shook his head blankly: "All the people I led have returned..."

Chen Liang's expression suddenly turned serious, and he suddenly realized: "Not good! It must be the enemy attacking!"

He immediately shouted an order: "Quickly pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate!" At the same time, he rushed towards the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, he looked into the distance and saw that a large group of cavalry were rapidly approaching outside the city.

The cavalrymen did not fly any flags, and due to the distance and the flying dust, it was difficult to see their uniforms clearly.

After a moment's observation, Chen Liang loudly ordered the soldiers beside him: "When the enemy enters within a hundred steps, immediately shoot arrows to warn them!"

"Yes!" The rebel soldiers on the city wall responded in unison.

The cavalry approached at an astonishing speed, as if they had just emerged from the horizon, and in an instant they were in front of the city.

Chen Liang and others saw clearly at this time that the team was wearing the uniforms and armor of the Hongxing Army, and some of the cavalry were galloping one after the other, carrying ladders together.

"It's the cavalry of the Hongxing Army!" There were shouts from people on the city wall, and the soldiers quickly drew their bows and arrows, shooting a rain of arrows out of the city.

However, despite the dense arrows, the sound of "pa pa" failed to stop the cavalry's fierce attack. Instead, it seemed to anger them and made them charge faster.

"It's not bluffing, they really want to attack the city!" Chen Liang gritted his teeth and ordered loudly, "Wait until the enemy is within fifty steps before shooting!"

Then, he turned to the soldiers beside him and ordered them hurriedly: "Go to the West City and report to the Lord that the North City is under fierce attack by the Hongxing Army's cavalry! Quick!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, jumped off the city wall nimbly, mounted their horses, and galloped towards the west city.

In a flash, the cavalry was within fifty steps.

The rebel soldiers shot arrows one after another, but facing the cavalry line that stretched for miles, the arrows of the 5,000 defenders seemed so sparse and powerless that they were unable to stop the cavalry charge.

The cavalry arrived at the moat in a blink of an eye. They dismounted and laid ladders on it.

Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, they climbed up the ladder, crossed the moat and headed straight for the city wall.

As ladders were erected one after another, the enemy soldiers, who had transformed from cavalry to infantry, began to climb up with all their might...

"Kill! Hold your ground and resist the invading enemy! Our reinforcements will be here soon!" Chen Liang, wearing armor and holding a spear, stood on the top of the city wall and commanded his soldiers to resist the foreign enemies.

Lin Kui in the city witnessed the fierce battle between the two sides and the deafening shouts of killing. He couldn't help but feel frightened and wanted to turn around and flee back to the city.

Duan Tianyang was quick to grab his collar and asked in a low voice: "Master Lin, where do you want to go?"

"Master Duan...Master Duan, I...I'm just hiding for a while." Lin Kui answered tremblingly.

Duan Tianyang pointed at the carriage and said sternly: "Stay in the carriage and don't go anywhere!"

After saying that, he gave a gentle push, and Lin Kui, frightened, rolled and crawled into the carriage.

Then, Duan Tianyang turned to the soldier beside him, calmly took out a piece of white cloth from his armor and tied it around his arm.

Seeing this, more than a hundred soldiers followed suit, tying white cloth around their arms, looking at Duan Tianyang in unison, ready to stand by.

At this moment, the attention of the rebels defending the city was completely attracted by the enemy attacking the city, and they were completely unaware of the movements behind them.

Duan Tianyang tied a white scarf and walked towards the city wall, where he saw rebels busy carrying logs and stones to the top of the city.

He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Let me help you!"

The rebels mistook him for one of their own, and one of them urged him impatiently, "The enemy is here, and you're still smiling. Come on and help!"

"Yes, sir!" Duan Tianyang responded, but did not move the stone. Instead, he quickly drew the sword from his waist.

The knife flashed, and before the other party could react, the rebel's head flew into the air, blood splattered everywhere.

The surrounding rebels screamed in fear. Their eyes widened with disbelief, and they all shouted at Duan Tianyang, "Are you crazy?"
