The army rushed along the post road built by the Hu family for transporting ore.

As we get further and further away from the Daqing Mine, the scenery around the post road gradually becomes more vivid.

This refreshed the spirits of the miners who had been accustomed to dark colors after staying in the mines for many years.

When it got dark, the army finally stopped.

They were approaching Anling City and needed to recuperate and regain their energy to prepare for the tough battle ahead.

Lu Qingshan dismounted from his horse, holding the Dao Sword Dragon Bird and looking from a distance.

Anling City comes into view.

The mottled city walls have been weathered by time, and there are hazy figures walking around on top of the city. A rough count suggests that there are thousands of them.

The Hu family has already made preparations.

On the road from Daqing Mine to Anling City, there are many villages and towns surrounding it.

The Qingshan Army has thousands of people and a mighty formation, so once mobilized, their whereabouts cannot be concealed at all.

Lu Qingshan never thought of hiding it.

Behind him, Gu Tianyan stepped forward with a solemn expression.

"General, the Hu family has a profound background. Even if it is just a small city, they can deploy a thousand defensive forces in a short period of time.

They have tall city walls, defensive equipment, and heavy city gates to rely on, but the Qingshan Army does not have powerful siege equipment to support them. If we still choose to attack the city by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."

Gu Tianyan and Lu Qingshan said.

The Qingshan Army was still a grassroots force, with no siege equipment such as catapults, artillery, and ladders.

Under such circumstances, this battle is bound to not be easy.

At least that's how it seems to Gu Tianyan.

"Don't worry." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, but he didn't take Gu Tianyan's worries seriously at all.

…

The sky is getting darker.

Lu Qingshan mounted his horse again, turned around, and said loudly to the entire Qingshan Army: "Boys, get ready to charge with me after you have rested."

"This world is ours!"

"Siege the city!"

Lu Qingshan swiped his palms down, clamped his legs, kicked off the horse's legs, took the lead and galloped out, heading straight for Anling City.

Thousands of Qingshan troops followed and rushed out.

It was dusk, and the setting sun dyed the sky and earth a bright red.

Lu Qingshan's body was bathed in the setting sun, and his armor was a blazing red, as if he were the same color as the dragon and bird.

His speed was very fast, with no intention of slowing down at all. In a short while, he was far away from the Qingshan Army behind him.

If you look down from the sky, you will see this scene:

The army formed a formation on the plain and rushed towards the city. One rider was far ahead, sending up billows of dust and smoke.

Those who didn't know better thought that the army behind was chasing Lu Qingshan.

"They want to attack hard, shoot arrows quickly!"

"There are still rocks. When they get close, smash them to death!"

The commander on top of the city who was responsible for commanding and dispatching the guards of Anling City saw this scene and kept shouting and quickly issued various orders.

Under his command, arrows shot out from the city wall.

The first batch of arrows were almost all aimed at Lu Qingshan - because only Lu Qingshan was within the range of the bow and arrow at this time.

In response, Lu Qingshan just raised the dragon bird and waved it.

The dragon bird clanked and chopped down one feather arrow after another.

However, although the man was fine, the horse under Lu Qingshan's crotch could not stop the arrows that were raining down and splashing like water.

An arrow pierced the horse's head, and then more arrows fell on the horse's body, piercing three-thirds of its flesh.

Warm horse blood splattered everywhere.

The horse running at high speed knelt down on its front hooves in pain, and its body was pulled upside down by the huge inertia, and it rolled far away.

But the moment the horse fell, Lu Qingshan jumped off the horse, looking like a ghost, and then rushed towards the city wall.

The whistling sound of wind kept passing over his head.

Lu Qingshan relied on a dragon bird to protect him so tightly that all arrows could not land on him and could not stop him.

"Follow the general!" Gu Tianyan looked at Lu Qingshan's back and could only clenched his teeth and shouted, trying his best to keep up with Lu Qingshan's pace.

He didn't know how Lu Qingshan planned to break the city, but the general was charging ahead, how could they retreat or fall behind?

The current situation is that Lu Qingshan, who is walking alone at the front and has no intention of retreating in the face of the rain of arrows, seems to have single-handedly engulfed the Qingshan Army of thousands of people, bringing a shock to the entire army.

A courageous spirit to move forward.

Even though they were just mortal bodies, even though twenty days ago they were just miners and slaves without any training, at this moment, no one was afraid anymore.

In the rain of arrows, Lu Qingshan danced like a dragon, and his swordsmanship was as ghostly as a god.

In the unbelievable eyes of the Anling City defenders on the city wall, Lu Qingshan just walked through the boiling battlefield and was already only a few dozen feet away from the city gate.

Seeing the city wall ahead, there is no road.

Not only did Lu Qingshan not slow down, he even accelerated again.

His steps became faster and faster, each step leaping several feet, and then he landed heavily on the ground, making a heavy landing sound and leaving a shallow footprint.

The sound of footsteps hitting the ground again and again did not sound like stepping on the ground, but instead seemed like stepping on the hearts of every defender on Chengtou Mountain.

"Throw a stone and kill him!" the leader of Anling City shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly, with unconcealable fear.

"Don't be afraid, he is alone and doesn't even have a ladder. What's the use of breaking under the city wall?

Could it be that he can still jump up the city wall and kill us all!?" Perhaps realizing his subconscious fear, or perhaps to boost morale, the Anling City commander shouted angrily again.

…

"General, be careful!" Gu Tianyan, who was in the rear, looked up and saw dozens of large rocks falling like dumplings from the city wall, and shouted almost subconsciously.

Stones are no better than feathered arrows.

Feather arrows can also be cut off with a sword. Even if you miss for a moment, it will not be fatal as long as it does not hit a vital part.

But the boulder is different. It cannot be chopped with a long sword, and once it is hit by the boulder, it will be a tragic ending with the head bursting open, leaving no room for error.

Gu Tianyan was so anxious that he stared at Lu Qingshan's back.

The next moment, his pupils shrank suddenly and his mouth couldn't help but open wide.

When Lu Qingshan was still ten feet away from the city gate, his legs bowed slightly, then straightened, and his whole body was like an arrow leaving the string, "shooting" with a buzzing sound.

His "shot" actually flew a distance of ten feet, allowing Lu Qingshan to directly cross the rockfall area.

Immediately afterwards, his momentum continued unabated, and he used the dragon bird as a spear and crashed straight into the city gate.

The land around where Lu Qingshan's feet originally took off was inexplicably cracked, dry, and extremely weird.

…

"Broken!" Looking at the closed city gate, Lu Qingshan shouted coldly. The red light on Longque Sword flashed away, the power of the mountains and seas in his body boiled, and the tip of the sword was aimed at the city gate.

boom!

There was a loud noise.

The thick city gate, which was covered with a layer of refined iron, was actually penetrated directly by his dragon bird.

Then a louder sound came out.

boom!

Under the disbelief of everyone, the entire city gate exploded into pieces, splinters flying everywhere.

Lu Qingshan did indeed do what the leader of Anling City said, and did not jump on the city wall to kill them all.

But...he directly blew open the city gate.

Lu Qingshan took advantage of the situation and entered the city.

There were also guards at the city gate, and the crowd was buzzing.

Lu Qingshan didn't even look at it. The dragon bird just screamed and flew across the necks of the guards at the city gate. Several heads were thrown high, and several bloody arrows spurted out.

"If the city gates can't stop me, who else can stop me?" he said loudly.

Lu Qingshan, who went deep into the enemy group, was like chopping melons and vegetables, and when a dragon bird rolled into the crowd, blood dripped from his eyes.
