Chapter 651 Reinforcements Arrive
"Your son will charge out and fight them to the death!"
"I'll go with Brother Wang!"
The brother and sister were making solemn vows, unaware of how dangerous it was outside the city.
Leaving aside the tens of thousands of troops, the thousands of Lotus Palace experts alone would be enough to give them a run for their money.
"I will go with you!"
Of the three family members, the king is the ugliest...
They were gripped by deep panic.
Xu Congcong wanted to take out the last thirty bombs, but he was afraid that Lin Ping would chop him up, so he covered his ears and pretended not to hear the family of three complaining.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Ping finally arrived in a hurry with five thousand cavalry.
He aimed his pistol at Lü Yan's dog head, focused, and pulled the trigger.
The effective firing range of a pistol can reach 500 meters, and its power exceeds that of a crossbow.
Lin Ping originally wanted to shoot at the city lord of Ningguo, since he wasn't a master and his accuracy would be higher.
However, the enemy was charging into battle and was beyond the range of the pistol, so Lin Ping had to settle for a less desirable option.
Lu Yan was a top expert in the Red Lotus Realm. Hearing the sound of a pistol, he leaned to the side alertly, and the bullet grazed his shoulder.
"That old codger is really lucky to be alive," Lin Ping spat out a mouthful of phlegm and muttered under his breath.
At the same time, five thousand cavalrymen launched an attack on Lü Yan.
These were all skilled archers, and they fired their powerful crossbows in unison, aiming them at Lü Yan's chest.
Despite his superior martial arts skills, Lü Yan dared not confront thousands of crossbow bolts head-on. Shamelessly, he hid behind several disciples, thus escaping a calamity.
These disciples were not so lucky; many died or were injured under the powerful crossbow bolts.
"Kill! Leave no one alive!" Lin Ping shouted sternly.
Most of the Lotus Palace disciples had been sent to attack the city, leaving only Lü Yan with a few dozen men behind. How could they dare to confront five thousand crossbowmen head-on?
"Get out of the way!" Lu Yan shouted.
Even if he didn't say it, there were already far more disciples than he could ever imagine.
However, the five thousand men were not targeting them, but rather the Ningguo city lord who was besieging the city.
shhhhhh!
A powerful rain of arrows ripped through the sky, catching the Lord of Ningguo City off guard from behind.
Caught completely off guard, they suffered heavy casualties, and the Lord of Ningguo City was also injured in the shoulder.
Left with no other choice, they suspended their attack and turned their attention to Lin Ping.
"You brat, how dare you ruin my plans!" The Lord of Ningguo City clenched his teeth, making a "squeaking" sound.
He was unaware of Lin Ping's identity and simply regarded him as reinforcements from the imperial court.
"That's Lin Ping! Kill him right now!" Lu Yan roared, wishing he could tear Lin Ping to pieces.
Lin Ping liked the look in the other person's eyes that seemed to want to kill him, yet couldn't.
"You're the city lord of Ningguo Prefecture? You look so fierce and unfriendly. I don't like it," Lin Ping said, shaking his head.
The Lord of Ningguo City was furious. He was a local tyrant, enjoying the utmost respect, and this was the first time he had been looked down upon like this.
"Such arrogance! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? What can you do if you don't like it?" the Ningguo City Lord said with a ferocious expression.
"You ask so many questions. Luckily, Master Ping is in a good mood today, so I'll answer them one by one. First, my bad breath is because I ate garlic. Second, my tongue is as nimble as a dog drinking water. Finally, I'm going to kill you because I don't like you!"
Lin Ping spoke casually, showing no regard for the Lord of Ningguo City.
"Aaaaah!" The Lord of Ningguo City was furious: "Arrogant brat, don't think you can defeat me with five thousand cavalry."
That ruthless Ningguo City Lord was actually arguing with Lin Ping, unaware that Lin Ping was stalling for time.
There's nothing you can do about it; Lin Ping is so eloquent that no one who argues with him will actually fight back, because they're already half-dead with anger before they even get a chance to.
"Huh? What's going on outside the city? The enemy seems to be standing still. Should we fire a volley of arrows to test it out?" Qianjun Zuo Dudu muttered to himself, and immediately ordered his men to fire arrows.
This volley of arrows was quite effective, killing over a hundred enemies, but it also signaled to the Ningguo city lord to launch a proactive attack on Lin Ping, since staying put risked being shot at any moment.
"Who shot that arrow? I'll kill you!" Lin Ping cursed.
Even after being bombarded, the Lord of Ningguo still had more than 20,000 men, which was no problem for Lin Ping's mere 5,000 men.
"Retreat while firing arrows!" Lin Ping immediately changed his strategy, preparing to use a kite-flying tactic.
Anyway, their attack range is far, so the enemy won't be able to get close for a while.
This tactic was not only novel but also effective. The city lord of Ningguo was somewhat bewildered, unable to break through when he wanted to, and unable to retreat when he wanted to.
"What kind of god-like fighting style is this?"
The city lord of Ningguo cursed and demanded an answer.
"I'm flying your kite, it's a high-level tactic in the game. Unless you have an assassin, you're doomed," Lin Ping laughed arrogantly.
"Assassins? Are they experts from Lotus Palace?" The City Lord of Ningguo was no fool; he immediately came up with a solution.
As expected, Lü Yan immediately dispatched dozens of experts to launch an attack.
Lin Ping slapped himself hard across the face, cursing under his breath, "Serves you right for being so talkative!"
The other party was initially unsure how to respond, but thanks to his reminder.
"Hahaha, even you, Lin Ping, have your regrets!" Lü Yan laughed loudly, waiting for Lin Ping to be killed.
Just as these experts were about to get close, the five thousand crossbowmen drew their kukri knives...
That's right, they are not only archers, but also warriors.
Lin Ping deliberately lured the experts of Lotus Palace into a trap in order to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
The dog-leg knife was Lin Ping's masterpiece; even an ordinary soldier could cut off a bull's head with it.
Most of the experts from Lotus Palace were at the Blue Lotus Realm, and they were somewhat flustered in the face of being surrounded by dozens of people.
I thought I could defend myself with my sharp sword skills, but who knew that the kukri was so powerful.
They not only broke their swords, but also their heads.
"Lin Ping, I'm going to kill you!" Seeing his disciple being killed, Tang Jianshan trembled with rage and brandished his cyan sword at Lin Ping.
"Well done!" Lin Ping sneered, and the hundred soldiers who had been prepared beforehand fired their arrows at once.
"You think you can hurt me with mere crossbow bolts?" Tang Jianshan said disdainfully, easily knocking the arrows away.
"Junior brother, be careful!" Lu Yan shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, he was too late.
The explosives attached to the arrowheads exploded instantly, engulfing Tang Jianshan in a fiery red light.
After the smoke cleared, Tang Jianshan was covered in wounds, and his bloody appearance was somewhat frightening.
"If it were a real bomb, you would have been reduced to ashes long ago!" Lin Ping sneered.
Even though Tang Jianshan was filled with anger, he dared not challenge the power of the explosives again and obediently retreated to Lü Yan's side.
Lin Ping's appearance completely disrupted the enemy's rhythm.
The Lord of Ningguo City had no intention of attacking the city; he was instead mobilizing all his forces to kill Lin Ping.
"I'm sorry, I don't only have five thousand men," Lin Ping said, shaking his head. He had already noticed that Pang Xingji was arriving with an army of thirty thousand.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
