The deafening battle cry slowly subsided, and scattered arrows continued to fly past Xu Haifengs eyes as he hid behind the stone wall. He continuously prayed to all the gods he knew, and finally this round of siege stopped, bringing a brief peace back to the inner city.

  "Hows the situation?" It wasnt until then that Xu Haifeng dared to come out from behind the stone wall, take a breath of the air filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder, and ask his deputy Qin Yong.

  Qin Yong was an unexpected discovery, he himself was a master of the thirteen horizontal exercises, and after drinking blood wine several times, he entered the realm of great accomplishment. In the past few days on the battlefield, his bravery was unmatched, as if his sword left no mark, but when he struck, no one could harm him in the slightest. Upon discovering such a fierce general, Xu Haifeng immediately appointed him as his deputy, however, at this moment, most of the officers had fallen, and Xu Haifeng, the temporary commander, was only a small ten-man squad leader, and also a new recruit squad leader.

  "This group of Kaisar dogs has been repelled by us." Qin Yong said loudly.

  "I know if they dont scram you wont be able to come back either. What Im asking is whats our casualty situation?"

  "The brothers are fine, just lost twenty more men, now there are one hundred and ninety-one people left."

  One hundred and ninety-one people, although the inner city wall is not large, but this number of defenders is really a bit stretched. It seems that it will soon be impossible to hold on, Xu Haifeng calculated in his heart, if he abandoned the city and escaped, he didnt know how many chances he had to escape from Shengtian.

  "Wooo... Wooo... Wooo..."

  A loud and clear bugle call came from the great camp of the Caesarians, and was heard far and wide in the endless sky.

  Trumpet, three long sounds? Xu Haifeng jumped up and ran to the top of the city wall with a whoosh. After fighting against the Roman Empire for so long, the intelligence personnel of the Great Han Empire had already analyzed the enemys communication method. The trumpet with three long sounds means gathering troops, forming a defensive formation, and preparing for battle.

  Outside the city, there were tens of thousands of Caesarians, while within the inner city, there were less than two hundred people. The difference was like heaven and earth. If the Caesarians took a defensive stance, then the only possibility would be that reinforcements from the Great Han had arrived. Once he realized this point, Xu Haifengs whole body trembled with excitement.

  The city wall was the highest of all buildings in the inner city. As soon as he climbed up to the city wall, Xu Haifeng saw that the Caesars at the west end were retreating from the city like a tide and gathering towards the main camp, wanting to form a square human sea array in front of the camp.

  Looking at their vigilant appearance, Xu Haifeng knew that one of his feet had already stepped out of the Ghost Gate.

  In the east, a bright and piercing red slowly rose above the horizon. Row upon row of warriors clad in crimson light armor rode horses, holding spears, surging towards the military camp like a tidal wave.

  "Red... its actually a red ocean! Oh heaven, were saved!" Xu Haifeng yelled incoherently.

  The Red Ocean is the number of the Fourth Legion of the Great Han Empire. The five major legions of the empire are all renowned and have numerous military achievements. They are the true elite and trump card of the Great Han Empire.

  The Red Ocean was a uniformed corps of gun cavalry, stationed in the northern imperial camp for many years, facing off against the empires hereditary enemy, the Xiongnu. Due to their bright red armor, when charging they looked like a giant red wave, so they were called the Red Ocean. Who would have thought that today they suddenly appeared on the western battlefield?

  "Qin Yong, pass on my order, charge for me, charge out, and kill this bunch of Caesars golden-haired dogs." Xu Haifengs blood rushed to his head, and he actually gave an order that made him blush with shame afterwards.

  "Its... brothers, follow me!" Qin Yong roared, shaking the heavens and earth, charging out first, with one hundred and eighty blood-soaked warriors closely following behind.

  No, I gave the order to let the Red Ocean crash into Caesars phalanx, and they should be cheering on the sidelines. How did it become that our own army had to take action first? When Qin Yong and others ran out of the outer wall, Xu Haifeng finally remembered his confused order, but since they had already rushed out, if he were to summon them back immediately, it would only lead to ridicule. Fortunately, Qin Yong didnt take everyone with him, and on the first day he took command of the army, he designated ten particularly burly men as his personal bodyguards, who could emerge unscathed on days when arrows flew wildly. These bodyguards were truly indispensable.

  Although riding a fast horse, the distance between the Red Ocean and the Caesarian legion was too far, so Qin Yong and his men followed behind, taking the lead in fighting against the Caesarian square formation.

  Qin Yong held a pair of meteor hammers, this outer door soldiers power was extremely great, swinging it around, only to see a bright light flashing by, and the people in front were immediately overturned. Countless soldiers called out to him at the same time, but the thirteen Taibao who had already reached a high level showed strong effects on the battlefield, he didnt dodge or avoid, continuing to charge forward without any concern, all the blades were bounced off by his powerful **, leaving only a shallow mark. His clothes were already badly damaged, and his upper body was stained with blood. The meteor hammer swung with great force, and someone nearby couldnt dodge in time, hitting him right on the top of the head, brain matter splashing everywhere, spraying onto Qin Yongs face, another person cut down with a knife, making his hair disappear, and his disheveled hair flew around, his bulging muscles were red and white, his face was ferocious and sinister, such a fierce and venomous man made people shiver without being cold. Although there were many people in the phalanx formation, no one could withstand even half of his moves, nor could anyone slow down his attacking speed.

  Under the leadership of this great monster, the remaining one hundred and eighty imperial people pierced into the heartland of the Caesarians like a sharp dagger.

  As the Great Han army advanced, the resistance grew stronger, with attacks coming from all directions, and people falling to the ground at any moment, only to be trampled by countless feet. Yet no matter how great the pressure was, this hundred-strong team maintained a triangular formation throughout, with Qin Yong, who seemed like a mad tiger, at the tip of the triangle, as if he were a god descended from heaven; as long as no one could intercept him, this triangular attack team would never stop.

  Outside the city, there were more than 30,000 Caesar troops. Even if Ren Qinyong and others were twice as brave, they wouldnt be able to disrupt the enemys formation under normal circumstances. However, after more than 20 days of siege, all Caesar soldiers knew that the enemies in the city were like devils, and in a short period, the city walls had buried more than 50,000 elite troops of the Caesar Empire. Especially Qin Yongs invincibility to swords and guns, his unstoppable majestic aura, had erected an indelible image of fear in everyones heart.

  At this moment, due to the scouts mistake, they were approached by the cavalry of the Great Han Empire and hastily formed an array. Unexpectedly, Qin Yong and others were bold and dared to charge at the large formation of 30,000 people with only a hundred or so men, and were immediately caught off guard. It was in such an unexpected situation that the Caesarian armys formation had a slight commotion.

  Caesars commander was experienced and immediately reacted, taking a look at the position and number of the red cavalry, making a decisive decision, continuously issuing orders, adjusting the formation, wanting to intercept Qin Yong and others outside the array first.

  No one expected that before the formation was fully formed, the Red Ocean Legion suddenly accelerated and launched a surprise attack.

  A sheet of crimson arrows rained down from the sky, and the red ocean surged forward in a short period of time, advancing to within an arrows distance. They took out specially made crossbow bolts on horseback, pulled the trigger, and the rain of arrows brought heavy casualties to the Caesarians who had not yet raised their giant shields. As the horses approached, with one command from the Red Legion, everyone threw the crossbow bolts behind them, drew out their spears, and charged forward with a lean.

  If the charge of Qin Yong and others was just an accidental disturbance, then this impact of the Red Ocean was a fatal blow. The formation of the Caesarian army finally collapsed. Infantry against cavalry, if not formed into effective formations, can hardly withstand the terrifying impact force of the cavalry. The population of Xiongnu is less than one tenth of that of the Han Dynasty, but they can compete with the Han Dynasty in the north, relying on their iron cavalry troops who are all soldiers and invincible.

  As the Caesarian formation fell into disarray, the outcome of this melee was already decided. Unless something unexpected happened, even if the Martial Emperor were to come back to life, he would only be able to lament on the spot. Now all thats left is to see how much of an effect the red ocean can achieve.

  The Red Ocean, although all cavalry, had only over three thousand men here. If Caesars thirty thousand men formed a square formation, they might not dare to launch a charge. The commander of the Caesar legion did not make any major mistakes. When he received the news that the Red Ocean was approaching, it was already too late to retreat. Moreover, he did not want to retreat in the first place, so he ordered his troops to assemble outside the camp and prepare to attack while sending messengers to ask for reinforcements from nearby Caesar cavalry units. As long as he could hold on for an hour, with the progress of the battle, Caesars cavalry units would soon arrive, and when that happened, they would be sandwiched between the two forces and victory would certainly be theirs.

  He simply couldnt think of Qin Yong and others, after more than 20 days of siege, would still take the initiative to attack. Whats even more incomprehensible is why they have maintained such abundant physical strength and high morale for so many days, and how these hundred or so people can cause local chaos in a queue of tens of thousands of people, all of which are completely beyond his cognitive range.

  To avoid chaos spreading throughout the entire array, he had no choice but to take a risk and change the formation. However, he underestimated the speed, equipment, and determination of the Red Ocean, and if it were him personally facing more than ten times the number of enemies, he might not have been able to issue a comprehensive attack order either. As a result, various unexpected factors combined to give him his first defeat in his life.

  Although the Caesarians were already defeated, they still had a large number of troops and had not yet exhausted their strength. However, when one squadron of cavalry deserted from the rear ranks and fled to a distant place, all the Caesarians began to lose hope completely, abandoning the battlefield in droves and fleeing in all directions.
