In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 867 Attack

Many serf soldiers were trembling with fear, even as they held their weapons.

Meanwhile, the Lu family's retainers stared intently at the giant bird that was growing larger and larger in the sky, their pupils trembling slightly, because the giant bird was swooping down in their direction.

"Release the arrows! Shoot it dead!"

A centurion's shout brought some of the soldiers back to their senses, and they all raised their bows and arrows to aim at the enormous creature in the sky.

However, before they could even fire their arrows, three suns suddenly appeared in the sky!

Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two, swooping down, simultaneously opened their beaks, and a fireball resembling the blazing sun formed in their mouths. Then, like a small sun falling, it plummeted vertically towards the top of the city wall.

"what is that?"

Why are there three suns?

"That's not the sun! It's fire!"

"Get out of the way!"

"..."

The soldiers on the city wall, realizing what was happening, immediately panicked and scattered like headless flies, trying to escape the fireball's attack area.

However, the fireball's descent speed was clearly much faster than their escape speed; only a few lucky individuals managed to escape the area, as for the rest...

"boom!"

As the two fireballs landed, the soldiers who couldn't escape in time didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly burned to ashes along with their armor, leaving two dark craters in the ground.

"What a terrible flame!"

"The ground was even burned through!"

"Luckily I escaped quickly, otherwise I wouldn't even have left my body behind!"

"What on earth is this thing? Not only is it enormous, but it can also spew out such bizarre flames!"

"..."

The soldiers on the city wall were horrified as they stared at the two craters burned by the fireball. The flames spewed by the giant bird in the sky were truly terrifying. The moment the fireball fell, the extremely high temperature distorted the air. Those comrades within the range of the fireball's attack were not even left with their bones. This scene was enough to terrify everyone!

The extreme fear caused many soldiers to even ignore the approaching Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two.

"What are you standing there for? Fire the arrows immediately!"

A centurion noticed the Crimson Flame Chicken about to land on the city wall and shouted to warn his soldiers, but it was too late!

Just as the centurion shouted, Crimson Flame One and Crimson Flame Two landed smoothly on the ground atop the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Yu, Yang Zheng, and a total of 38 elite warriors jumped off the back of the Crimson Flame Chicken and stood on the city wall!

"not good!"

Upon seeing Yang Zheng and his group, the Lu family generals immediately realized something was wrong, and someone shouted, "Kill them quickly! We can't let them stay on the city wall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general immediately led his personal guards to attack Tian Yu from the left, while on the right, a Lu family general who had also reacted led a large number of soldiers to attack Yang Zheng.

"Yang Shuai, I'll block the one on the left, and you block the one on the right, okay?"

"no problem!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Tian Yu and Yang Zheng each led 19 elite soldiers and rushed to the left and right flanks respectively.

The two Crimson Flame Chickens did not participate in the battle; instead, they took to the air and flew towards the military camp outside the city.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhenlong, who was in charge of command outside the city, also noticed the two fireballs that had just landed. Knowing that Tian Yu and Yang Zheng had landed on the city wall, his expression turned serious and he immediately ordered a general attack!

"Soldiers, attack!"

As soon as Qi Zhenlong gave the order to attack, a vast number of soldiers charged toward the city wall!

In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with shouts of battle. Soldiers braved the rain of arrows falling from the city walls, pushing siege ladders, siege towers, and other siege equipment closer and closer to the city walls.

"hateful!"

Lu Yueming slammed his fist on the table, feeling annoyed at being caught off guard. He had never expected the other side to launch a full-scale attack today.

Even more unexpectedly... the allied forces outside the city would have such a bizarre method, actually managing to use giant birds to send troops onto the city walls...

Fortunately, although the giant bird was huge, its carrying capacity was limited. The first wave of enemy troops that appeared on the city wall numbered only 40. As long as these 40 people could be dealt with, the city wall would not be at risk of falling.

Thinking of this, Lu Yueming said in a deep voice: "Send out 1000 elite troops to besiege the enemy on the city wall, and the rest of the troops to block the main army outside the city."

"Yes!"

The guards around him quickly relayed Lu Yueming's military orders.

…………

…………

"boom!"

On the city wall, facing the approaching Lu family soldiers, Tian Yu remained calm and thrust his spear into the ground in front of him!

The seemingly solid bricks and stones on the ground were easily pierced by Tian Yu as if they were tofu. Then, Tian Yu raised the tip of his spear, and the ground exploded instantly!

Dust flew everywhere, and bricks and stones shattered!

The rubble from the shattered floor tiles shot towards the Lu family soldiers in front!

"what!"

Although the incoming pebbles failed to penetrate the armor of the Lu family soldiers, the powerful force they carried still caused internal injuries to many of them, and more than a dozen Lu family soldiers fell to the ground instantly.

While the Lu family soldiers' vision was obscured by the dust, Tian Yu took a step forward and swept his spear horizontally!

"boom!"

The first Lu family soldier struck by the spear bulged his eyes and, before he could even cry out in pain, was sent flying like a cannonball, only stopping when he crashed into the parapet, blood continuously spilling from his mouth.

Tian Yu's sweeping spear continued unabated, knocking away the second, third, fourth, and fifth Lu family soldiers. In just one move, more than a dozen Lu family soldiers were sent flying by Tian Yu's powerful force, which penetrated their armor and severely injured their bodies.

"How can this person be so powerful?"

"A single strike sent more than ten people flying; what terrifying power is that?"

"Even martial artists wouldn't have such power, would they?"

"..."

Seeing Tian Yu sweep away more than ten Lu family soldiers with a single blow, their pupils trembled slightly. Tian Yu's overwhelming strength instilled fear in them, and they instinctively had a slight intention to retreat!

Tian Yu, having sheathed his spear, drew a horizontal line five meters in front of him with the tip of the spear and said in a solemn voice, "Anyone who crosses this line shall die!"

After he finished speaking, the Lu family soldiers looked at each other, none of them daring to make a move.

There was nothing they could do; the power Tian Yu displayed was simply too overwhelming. Such a strongman was far beyond the capabilities of these serf soldiers to contend with.

Of course, not everyone would fear Tian Yu's strength.

Those who cower in fear shall die!

A centurion beheaded a cowardly soldier with a single stroke, shouting, "Follow me and kill!"

Seeing this, although the soldiers were very dissatisfied with the centurion's act of forcing them to their deaths, their fear of the Lu family still made them hold their weapons tightly and follow the centurion to kill Tian Yu.
