After killing 5 of the White Armor soldiers, White Bones leaped out from the rubble, and climbed up a building like a specter. It then made its way through the dark alleys, preparing to unleash a devastating attack at any moment.
3 of the White Armor soldiers were making their way through the rubble, when all of a sudden, a figure flashed past them from a dark corner.
The heads of the 3 White Armor soldiers flew high into the air, and they too became corpses as they slumped to the ground.
After killing the 3 White Armor soldiers, Tenpyo Saka disappeared into the darkness. She was most proficient in assassination, and urban combat, which was full of complicated terrain and dark corners, was the best place for her to display her skills.
The 190 White Armor soldiers spread out to attack Tian Mu Town, and another 30 White Armor soldiers died without a sound or a trace. This forced them to stick together and advance.
Although the White Armor soldiers were advancing slowly, their defense was tight, and it was hard for the enemy to find an opening.
Behind them, another 1,000 Manchurian elite infantry soldiers made their way through the opening created by the White Armor soldiers and began their assault on Tian Mu Town.
Yue Zhong led the 10 Guards as they retreated, giving up many positions to the Manchurians.
There were too many Manchurian soldiers, if they were to be pinned down, no matter how strong Yue Zhong and the 10 Guards were, they would definitely die.
"It's time! All of you can go to hell! " Yue Zhong watched the Manchurian soldiers swarming into Tian Mu Town like ants, and his eyes flashed coldly as he pressed the button in his hands.
Hong! Hong!! Hong!!
The terrifying sounds of explosions rang out continuously, as a number of huge explosions occurred within the rubble. Within the explosions, the 1,000 Manchurian elite soldiers and the 160 White Armor soldiers were blasted to pieces, their screams filled the air as corpses and limbs littered the ground.
Ximen Lie wanted to establish the Great Han Alliance, and he had amassed a large number of explosives, as well as a number of remote-controlled bombs. The Radiant Sun Triad did not have many experts compared to other triads, and it was precisely because of the remote-controlled bombs that the Radiant Sun Triad could grow.
Every faction that could establish themselves in the Central Plains had their own unique methods. Some had powerful leaders, some had many experts, and some had a unique skill.
Yue Zhong had united the Great Han Alliance and forced them into a corner, allowing them to unleash their full potential.
From afar, Xuan Zhen saw the huge explosion in Tian Mu Town, and his face turned pale. A bad feeling arose in his heart.
A scout came up to Xuan Zhen and knelt down: "Your Majesty!! Lieutenant Zhao Liangdong died in battle. Of the 1,000 men under his command, 500 were killed and 200 were injured. We don't know if Lieutenant Ji Wen is dead or alive! "
When Xuan Zhen heard this, his eyes turned bloodshot as he roared out in rage, "Damn Yue Zhong!! Damned bastard! We must kill you! I will definitely put you to death with a thousand cuts!! "
A thousand elites of the Eight Banners were killed just like that, causing Xuan Zhen to feel extreme pain. These soldiers weren't random survivors, they were the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners Army who had followed Xuan Zhen to the north and fought many battles. They might not be comparable to the Gold Wolf Riders, but they were still the elites of the Central Plains. Such a soldier had actually died in Tian Mu Town, and Xuan Zhen was in so much pain that he wanted to vomit.
Xuan Zhen roared furiously: "Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! This Emperor will personally wipe out those Han dogs!!! "
Although Xuan Zhen was just a peasant laborer before the apocalypse, the Manchurian Empire was built by him. After he became the Emperor, he had fallen into depravity, and his combat strength was weaker than his peak. However, he was still one of the strongest Evolvers in the Manchurian Empire.
"No!! Your Majesty's precious body cannot be taken lightly! "
"Your Majesty, please calm down!! Your Majesty, please calm down!! Those Han dogs are just a bunch of ants, the moment our army arrives, we can wipe them out. Your Majesty's precious body cannot be taken lightly! "
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"… …"
A large number of officials immediately knelt in front of Xuan Zhen as they pleaded. The Manchurian Empire was a dictatorship, and their core was Xuan Zhen. The moment Xuan Zhen died, the entire country would fall into chaos.
In the Central Plains, the strong preyed on the weak. Once the Manchurian Empire fell into chaos, they would definitely be devoured by the wolves of the Central Plains. For the sake of their own glory and wealth, the officials of the Manchurian Empire would definitely not let Xuan Zhen take such a risk.
One of the officials suggested: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the soldiers are all exhausted. Why don't we retreat and rest for a day before continuing the battle tomorrow?"
Xuan Zhen looked at the sky, and discovered that the sun had already set, and the light was starting to dim. The Manchurian Empire was proficient in open warfare, and not night battles.
Xuan Zhen hesitated a while, before giving the order unwillingly: "Retreat!!"
Under Xuan Zhen's orders, the Manchurian Army that had suffered heavy casualties in Tian Mu Town retreated in an orderly fashion. They were true elites, and even when they retreated, they did not crumble.
The Han Alliance within Tian Mu Town had also suffered heavy casualties, and were exhausted from the battle. They did not have the strength to chase after the retreating Manchurian Army. Some of the soldiers had even collapsed to the ground the moment the Manchurian Empire retreated, closing their eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
When Xuan Zhen counted the results of this battle, he felt a heartache. He had deployed 4,000 Manchurian elites to attack Tian Mu Town, yet 1,900 of them had died, and 500 had suffered injuries of varying degrees. Only a thousand remained unscathed. Out of 8 tanks, 18 IFVs, 20 machine gun-mounted vehicles, and 3 White Armor troops had been annihilated. This was the worst loss for the Manchurian Army since Xuan Zhen established it. In addition to the 1,000 elite soldiers of the 8 Banners that had been killed by the Gold Wolf Army, the Manchurian Empire had lost half of its strength.
On the other side, the Han Alliance under Yue Zhong's command had also suffered heavy casualties. Of the 6 great triads, the leaders of the Pink Triad, Heaven's Wheel Sect and the Gold Wolf Triad had died, and their experts had also been wiped out. Of the 600 soldiers of the Radiant Sun Triad in Tian Mu Town, most of them had died. Of the 10 City Guards under Yue Zhong, another 2 had died, leaving only 8. Of the 430 Han solo warriors under Li Guang's command, more than 260 had died, and the rest had injuries of varying severity. Of the 7,000 survivors in Tian Mu Town, 800 had died due to artillery shells and bullets.
The resistance in Tian Mu Town had been depleted, and the explosives, landmines and traps had all been used up. Even the remote-controlled bombs had been used up, and the soldiers inside were all exhausted.
The entire Tian Mu Town was in ruins, and all the soldiers were exhausted to their limits. Previously, they had used their tenacious willpower to support their battle. The pressure that the Manchurian Army had given them was too great.
Yue Zhong led the remaining 8 City Guards to walk amongst the crowd, consoling and encouraging the soldiers.
Yue Zhong's arrival had caused the soldiers to be filled with excitement and joy. Yue Zhong had single-handedly wiped out over 200 soldiers, as well as 6 tanks. He had been active on the frontlines. He had led the 10 City Guards to provide support everywhere, and had wiped out many experts and elites of the Manchurian Empire. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong's support, Tian Mu Town would have long since fallen.
Yue Zhong ordered Ximen Lie to pull out 2,000 people from the remaining 6,000 survivors in Tian Mu Town to fill the ranks of the various troops. At the same time, he distributed the guns, sabers and other weapons to the 2,000 survivors, arming them.
The 2,000 survivors were just a motley crew, and if it was a battlefield, a single charge from the soldiers would be able to take them down. However, in the ruins of Tian Mu Town, they were forced into a corner, and could still put up a fight. Of course, in terms of combat prowess, they were nothing.
By the time everything was done, the sky had already darkened, and Yue Zhong immediately ordered the rations in the warehouse to prepare a sumptuous feast for the soldiers.
The soldiers ate the steaming buns in huge mouthfuls, and drank small cups of wine. Everyone was enjoying this sumptuous feast, and it might even be their last.
Pi Jian Yi came up to Yue Zhong with a look of worry: "Chief! What do we do now? If the enemy were to attack tomorrow, we might not be able to hold out. "
Although Tian Mu Town had gained another 2,000 soldiers, they could not even use their guns properly, and it was impossible for them to defend against the elite troops of the Manchurian Empire.
The Manchurian Empire had suffered so many losses, but they still had 4,000 soldiers. If they were willing to pay the price, Tian Mu Town would definitely not be able to hold out by tomorrow.
After a few tough battles, Pi Jian Yi and the rest of the arrogant experts finally acknowledged Yue Zhong, and were willing to become his Imperial Guards.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a solemn look: "I know, tonight is the key to the battle. Whether we can protect Tian Mu Town, it all depends on tonight! "
Pi Jian Yi hesitated a while: "Night battle? Most of our men are just a motley crew, and are even worse than the Manchurian Empire. Chief, isn't it too risky to fight at night? "
Yue Zhong sat on the ground and closed his eyes to recover his Stamina: "Rest well."
"Forget it!! At most, I'll just stake my life! In any case, I've killed enough for today. "Pi Jian Yi hesitated a while, before sitting on the ground as well.
The rest of the 7 guards also sat on the ground and closed their eyes to recover their Stamina. They had just gone through a day of killing, and were all exhausted. Although they were peak Evolvers, after such an intense battle, their Spirit and Stamina had been greatly depleted. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
