Chapter 972: Really Can’t Think of a - Title
The Chief Guardian of Pingliang City was a veteran general named Pei Lin.
Pei Lin had been a seasoned general since the time of Li Yuan, having served under Li Yuan and then Li Shimin. After Li Shimin’s ascension to the throne, he had pledged allegiance to Luo Cheng and had been diligently serving under Luo Cheng ever since. Though he hadn’t achieved extraordinary fame or prestige, he was more than capable of holding his ground.
Standing atop the battlements, Pei Lin gripped his sword tightly, his face showing not a hint of fear. As a veteran of the battlefield, he was well aware that the battlefield was their true home.
He had long been prepared to fight to the death and, even if the city were to fall in the end, he was determined to make the Qin Army pay a truly painful price.
At this moment, he saw from afar a small troop dashing madly from the rear of the Qin Army. Their speed was astonishing, many of the Qin soldiers hadn’t even made out their figures before they vanished from their sight.
You arrived just in time with the Death Squad, but did not directly enter the city. Instead, you surrounded the few soldiers who were loudly shouting persuasions to surrender to those inside the city. You broke the hands of several soldiers and sent them back to tell Li Xin that you were waiting for him inside the city.
"Preposterous! Luo Yun, the young scoundrel, is utterly intolerable! Men, prepare the siege equipment at once!"
Your move was extremely effective. Seeing his soldiers treated in such a manner by you, Li Xin did not hesitate and immediately ordered his army to prepare for the assault!
