“General, spare me. General, have mercy!” Said a private soldier cowering in fear while urinating himself.
The Urban army only numbered 3,000 troops. Liu Mang separated those 3,000 troops into two squadrons. 1,500 led by Liu Mang himself, 1,500 was led by Huang Zhong. Another 1,500 was from the Liu clan’s private soldiers and was led by Liu Kai.
Together, Huang Zhong and Liu Kai simultaneously attacked the South Gate and North Gate. The 1,500 troops led by Liu Mang, attacked the West Gate.
How can these private soldiers be a match for the Urban Army? They were defeated at the first encounter. What they were expert in doing were killing commoners, burning, plundering and raping. Even if they had strength, they only had strength for orgies, not battle.
Liu Mang's Urban Army is truly invincible right now. Everywhere they went private soldiers died and were swept aside. That resulted, many troops are screaming “We surrender!!!” But unfortunately, Liu Mang's order was to kill them all.
The private soldiers who beg to surrender had truly bad luck. The Urban Army would initiate the battle with “If you surrender, we will not kill you!” Yet, once they threw down their weapons, the Urban Army proceeded to kill them.
Those who were beheaded can be considered lucky. A Majority of them were cut in the middle section or their stomachs were slit open. Those who were sliced like that, did not die immediately, but was tormented for at least 10 minutes before they died. Inside half of Wancheng city, screams of pain and endless torment were present.
The Urban Army became an extension of Liu Mang’s will. Having been influenced by Liu Mang's anger and they just acted quickly without mercy.
Because of their concentration and speed, they had reached the front of the West Gate. Liu Mang's speed is the quickest out of Huang Zhong and Liu Kai and because North Gate and South Gate had a lot of soldiers, both of them were delayed in their advance.
“NEIGGGHHHH!” Suddenly Liu Mang's warhorse is neighing. On the ground there is an intermittent vibration. The Urban Army currently instantly stopped moving under Liu Mang's order, but after they felt this vibration, they quickly gather again around Liu Mang.
This kind of vibration can only be made by elite troops in large-scale movement.
The South Gate and North Gate was already in the hands of He clan and Yu clan. If they were overtaken again by the Urban Army, then it is over. Their private soldiers were already at their limits. If they lost these private soldiers, even if Wancheng city was retaken again by Jiangdong, they will lose a big portion of power and influence.
“Heh, do not worry, just go and save your gate!” Head of Lin clan, Lin Feng, retorted coldly. Lin clan is responsible for West Gate. Now the West Gate is on Lin clan's hand, because there are these 3,000 heavy infantries.
Looking at those heavy infantries, Lin Feng just swallowed his saliva. With them as West Gate gates guardian, it can be said, it is truly impregnable.
Now Lin Feng was truly looking forward for He Shuo and Yu Zheng to lose. With the Liu clan rebelling and the Yu clan and He clan losing, his Lin clan will rise to become Wancheng city’s oldest nobles and of course he will have the most territory and a lot of influence after that.
“HUMPH!!!” He Shuo and Yu Zheng just snorted coldly. Zhou Cheng could also only wave his hand, so those three people can go away from his sight ASAP.
“Very well, good luck to all of you!” After Zhou Cheng said that, those three clan heads sped away on their horses toward their respective city gates.
“Heh, you deploy heavy infantry to attack me, eh?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Liu Mang sneered.
“Seriously, you really think highly of this Liu Mang!” Liu Mang then thought “If these heavy infantry appeared on a big battlefield, naturally the Formation Breakers and the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry will be deployed to take care of them. Now all of you suddenly appeared in Wancheng city, then let me, Liu Mang, send you all to hell now”
“Formation now!” Cheng Yu has been with Liu Mang a long time, naturally he knows what Liu Mang meant and quickly arranged 1,000 Urban Army to form the Macedonian Phalanx.
“Very good, they are truly discipline!” Zhou Cheng looking at those Urban Army, quickly replied
The armor and weaponry were about 50 kg, with upper body having 25 kg, and lower body also having 25 kg also. Their defensive power is very strong but they placed so much burden on the soldier. But their speed is really fast when forming its formation. They are in another class of their own.
But as formidable as they are, if the Urban Army now feared them then it is over! So Liu Mang hit his horse to get in front of phalanx formation. “My brothers, comrades. I tell you now, our opponent now are heavy infantries. Their numbers are threefold that of what we have. We cannot even penetrate their helmet and armor, now tell me, are you afraid?!”
“WE ARE NOT AFRAID!!!” The Urban Army shouted loudly with one voice.
“HEH, Not afraid?!” Liu Mang sneered. “How can you not afraid?! Look at your palms, it is already wet with cold sweat. Wipe your foreheads, it is also covered with cold sweat! And you still say you are not afraid?! Even I am afraid of facing them, how can all of you say you are not afraid?!”
When Liu Mang said that, several soldiers revealed embarrassed faces. From those 3,000 people, the ones that can be considered veterans are only about several hundreds of people, but right now Liu Mang only half of those 3,000 troops further lowering the number of veterans.
“We are afraid, of course we are afraid! However, do we have a choice?!” Liu Mang shouted
“All of you still remember Battle of Mt. Bagong?! First, we had the Yu Province Cavalry as our opponent and then Chen Lan and Lei Bo. At that time, we had no other place to go. We know during that battle, most of you were protected by the other brothers who have passed away.
If you are not afraid just like you said, even though I, Liu Mang, cannot guarantee all of you victory, I can guarantee that I will not stand behind and abandon you. Together, we live or die; together, we share riches and honor!!!!”
“Together, we live or die; together, we share riches and honor!!!”
The Urban Army suddenly emitted strong killing intent. This kind of killing intent can only be seen from the Formation Breaker and Bing Province Heavy Cavalry.
"Inspiring morale? I will tell you in the face of absolute strength, all are futile!" Zhou Cheng coldly humphed and lifted his hand.
“All UNITS ATTACK!!!” Two voices, two forces, two beliefs clashing with each other.
