Going back in time a little, let's talk about General Li Zuoche. On the order of the Second Emperor, he led 15,000 cavalry to reinforce Nanyang County and guard against the "Overlord Xiang Yu" who came out from Lingnan.
After he took over the defense of Nanyang County, he unified the county soldiers, strictly defended, made all war preparations, and always maintained vigilance.
Finally one day, he met the so-called "Overlord Xiang Yu" and the Lingnan Army who were legendary as "monsters".
The sky was blue and clear, and the sun was just right. The soldiers standing solemnly and upright on the city had sweat on their faces.
But in a blink of an eye, the earth shook, black clouds rolled in, and the clear sky became extremely gloomy in a short period of time, as if the sky was about to collapse.
"what is that?!"
"what!"
"They, they are not human~"
I saw a large army under the city, kicking up billows of dust and spreading out like black ants, rushing towards the city.
Just because of this, the soldiers of the Qin army could not scream in fear.
This army is shrouded in an unknown black air visible to the naked eye, like turbid and sticky ink, spreading towards this side.
Li Zuoche rushed to the city tower. He looked at the terrifying and strange scene, and couldn't help but sweat in the hand holding the sword.
Legend has it that Xiang Yu, the overlord, was so brave and invincible that he could pick out the heads of thousands of soldiers just like picking out objects from a bag.
Legend has it that this Lingnan monster army is impossible to kill and looks like a devil.
Seeing is believing, he will soon experience what Overlord Xiang Yu and this army are like.
…
Following Lu Yan's order, the Demon Lord prioritized the attack on Nanyang County, which was geographically important.
He was riding a dark red horse, holding a ghost-headed sword in his hand, looking up to the sky and smiling: "Hahaha, follow me to attack the city and wash Nanyang with blood!"
Although he had a human face, he definitely did not look like a living person. His skin was pale, like the color of a skull. His eyes were red and phoenix, the pupils flashed a deep purple, and there were three blood marks on his forehead.
…
Attack the city directly? No idea?
Li Zuoche discovered that except for the most basic siege equipment, such as ladders, the team under the city had no further assistance from long-range troops.
There is no one who suppresses the rain of arrows from the tower.
There are no long-range attacks on towers.
They just rushed towards the city in a swarm, and no troops were even seen holding up their shields to resist the arrows fired from the city.
How do you attack a city? Do you just rely on climbing ladders?
In more than 20 years of fighting, I have never seen anything like this.
Li Zuoche suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart, drew his sword and ordered: "Fire arrows!"
Countless arrows rained down, and the enemies without any protection were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground in pieces.
Then, then they got up again like no one else?!
"how so?"
"They're really not human."
"Monster, monster!"
The morale of the Qin army began to waver.
Facing the group of monsters in front of them, even if they trusted their own generals and the famous generals of the empire, it could not give them the confidence at all, and the atmosphere of fear began to pervade.
…
"Kill~"
The Demon Lord took the lead in charging, and the sword in his hand rolled up the thunder and blood net. The arrows fired by the Qin army all broke and fell when they hit it.
A ladder was pushed up the city wall, and the demonic soldiers were completely unafraid of rolling wood and rocks, shouting horrifying roars as they kept climbing up.
Arrows cannot kill them.
A rolling log smashed the demon soldier down, and his spine was probably broken. But the demon soldier twisted on the ground a few times, and then climbed up the city wall again.
"Yeah, eight thunders are prohibited, cracking thunder."
The Demon Lord jumped onto the city wall and cut a dozen Qin soldiers and their weapons into two pieces with one blow.
Then he wrapped his legs around the thunder net and cleared a clear space on the city with a roundhouse kick.
The following demon soldiers also climbed up the city from the road opened by the demon lord.
…
How to fight this kind of enemy?!
Li Zuoche slashed the demon soldier in front of him with a sword, but saw that there was an arrow stuck in the opponent's chest, and his heart was gradually eroded by despair.
It’s over, I can’t hold on.
This group of monsters, who are neither human nor ghosts, are completely unkillable and may be able to massacre the entire Central Plains.
The morale of the soldiers who defended the city had collapsed, and the demon soldiers climbed onto the towers from all over the city. This battle could have been declared a failure.
"Withdraw! Abandon the city! Abandon the city!"
Li Zuoche hurriedly ordered that the soldiers should not die in vain here. Before finding a way to deal with these monsters, they had no choice but to escape.
The Demon Lord, who was chopping melons and vegetables, noticed Li Zuoche. He immediately turned around excitedly and headed towards this direction.
The scarlet thunder net moved slowly, and the soldiers of the Qin army were unable to resist and turned into mutilated corpses one after another.
Li Zuoche knew that the leader was Xiang Yu, the overlord. He did not dare to have any intention of meeting him, so he turned around and ran away, jumping off the tower decisively.
The Demon Lord jumped up, crossed all distances and obstacles, and stood to the place where Li Zuoche jumped. He caught a glimpse of the senior general of Qin who was running away on horseback below. He sneered and pointed his sword.
"Still want to run, eight thunders, thousand birds."
There were thunderbolts, thousands of birds chirped wildly, and a long and narrow sword energy chased Li Zuoche's back.
"Abandon the city! Abandon the city!"
Li Zuoche ignored him now. When the order to abandon the city was given, he immediately galloped away. The surrounding guards who were loyal to him blocked the general's back as if they were dead.
Damn it, what on earth are these monsters!
Violent screams sounded from behind, but Li Zuoche did not look back.
He held up the long sword in his hand and kept shouting "retreat" and "abandon the city", taking away as many Qin soldiers in the city as he could.
The Qin army defending the city was defeated, and Overlord Xiang Yu occupied the city and officially entered the territory of Nanyang County.
This was the beginning of the bloody rain in the Central Plains, and it was also the most cruel part of all Lu Yan's plans, and the most deserving of infamy.
Overlord Xiang Yu led the Lingnan Demon Army and began to massacre Nanyang.
No matter men, women, old or young, as long as they can move, no matter they are humans or poultry and livestock, they will be killed.
Beat a city and slaughter a city.
Bloodbathed Nanyang and massacred the Central Plains.
This is not a slogan.
Li Zuoche tried every means, including fire attacks, floods, and serial explosions...
Every time a city was lost, he would think hard and rack his brains. While ordering the people to flee for their lives, he would use the lives of the soldiers to test whether there were any weaknesses in the demon army.
In a short period of time, the originally high-spirited Li Zuoche turned into a lifeless twilight veteran.
He never thought that one day he would be so powerless and helplessly watch unarmed people being massacred by aliens.
When he was young, Li Zuoche fought against barbarians on the northern border to protect the people of Zhao State behind him.
Grandfather Li Mu is called the "Guardian Saint" by the people of Zhao State. The duty of a soldier is to protect the people.
This is how he grew up.
Taking over the Zhenyue Sword from his grandfather, Zhao Guo is gone, and the people he protects are all the common people. The people of the seven countries are all members of the same clan. He should have...
Nanyang is gone, literally gone.
White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles.
