Chapter 1593 Strength Insufficient

ten up in the distance: "Your Highness! Candidate Hou Yushu has an important matter to report!"The sudden change caught everyone's attention.No one knows what kind of madness Hou Yushu went through.No...Chapter 1593: Power Insufficient

Flames raged, and black smoke billowed into the sky.

Liao army soldiers struggled and screamed in the fire, instantly turning into human torches.

But they couldn't run far before collapsing to the ground, and gradually fell silent.

No matter how gruesome their deaths, no one paid them much attention.

The battering ram instantly became a giant pillar of fire, yet soldiers kept charging forward, relentlessly replacing their fallen comrades who died in the flames. They charged with the battering ram, giving their lives without hesitation.

Under such an onslaught, the battering ram slammed heavily against the city gate.

"BOOM!!!"

A earth-shattering roar echoed, and the East City Gate creaked and groaned, its aged hinges threatening to snap.

Behind the city gate, countless soldiers who used their bodies to defend were spewing blood and flying backwards. In an instant, their internal organs were shattered into a bloody mess, and they were on the verge of death.

War is equally brutal to all sides involved.

Human life, here, is the most worthless and cheap thing.

Li Chen's eyes were like torches, he saw this scene happen with his own eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured: "The Liao army is unmatched in the world, there is a reason for that."

Looking up again for Yelu Shenxuan, but there was no sign of him.

Li Chen, with a flash of insight, said: "Go and tell Wu Qingcang and Wu Ban Shan that the main attack direction of the Liao army is at the east gate."

Li Chen didn't understand military strategy. He couldn't judge where the enemy's main attack would be based on their troop deployment and offensive intensity.

But he understood human nature, and more importantly, he understood Yelü Shenxuan.

When Yelü Shenxuan appeared, that was the true direction of the Liao army's main attack.

Because Yelu Shenxuan couldn't bear to lose, and neither could he.

After taking a long look at where Yelu Shenxuan had just stood, Li Chen turned his head and walked down the city wall.

For he knew that the east city gate was about to fall.

At this point, Yelü Shenxuan truly began to move his troops.

"Inform the North Gate and West Gate immediately. Regardless of casualties, at any cost, strengthen the intensity and speed of the offensive."

"Then notify the rear army and reserves to immediately join the battlefield."

"An hour!"

Yelü Shenxuan raised a finger and said with conviction, "Within an hour, I will break through the Dongcheng Gate!"

He saw Li Chen, and an utterly insane idea immediately sprung to mind.

To have taken control of the Moonlit Gate was already a remarkable feat, but to capture Li Chen, the Crown Prince of Qin, alive That would be an unparalleled achievement.

Then, it would be equivalent to having taken half of the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

This will instantly elevate him above all monarchs in Liao history.

There is even hope, of unifying the world.

The moment the thought arose, it sprouted like a wild weed gone mad, fueling his ambition to its utmost limit.

He didn't suspect why Li Chen was still at Yuèyá Guān now.

Because deep down, he knew Li Chen and he were the same kind of person.

For profit, one can risk their life.

Such a person would absolutely never retreat easily.

Just as Li Chen desired to capture Yueya Pass, he also wished to defeat his own 600,000 troops and use this victory to solidify his political position within the country.

Yelü Shenxuan felt he had already understood Li Chen.

Now, he was about to make Li Chen pay the price for his own arrogance and vanity.

"Li Chen, Li Chen, you truly are a formidable adversary. I consider you my equal, even finding a sense of mutual respect in our rivalry."

He raised his head and looked toward the direction of Yuèyáguān, Yēlǜ Shénxuán smiled and said: “But there is one thing you are inferior to me, your luck is worse. I was born in Liáo Guó, the world’s number one military power, while your Dà Qín has already grown old. Even if you are a genius, you are still powerless.”Chapter 1343: Xiaoguo's RuthlessnessTherefore, throughout history, the area within two zhang of a monarch was an absolute forbidden zone.
