Heavy footsteps echoed in the ears of the Zhao soldiers. When they looked again at the position of Lin Tian's army, they found that Lin Tian's army was fully armed and charging towards them.
This scene filled the Zhao soldiers in Daicheng with extreme terror.
"How is this possible? When did they equip their armor and form their battle formations?"
"Weren't they a group of lazy recruits? Why are their movements so fast, and why is their military bearing so neat?"
"Damn it, we've been fooled, we've been thoroughly fooled! The Qin people's previous actions were entirely to deceive us!"
The presence of recruits could indeed lower one's guard.
Not to mention that Lin Tian's army had barely managed their soldiers before and after arriving at Daicheng.
They set up camp anywhere, rarely conducted daily training, and many soldiers couldn't even keep up with the rhythm of others.
How could such an army not make people let down their guard?
But now, this army had transformed into an elite force.
Not only were their movements swift, but their discipline was also strict, and in just a few breaths, they had formed a massive battle formation.
At this moment, the Zhao soldiers knew they had been deceived by the behavior of Lin Tian's army over the past few days.
This made them incredibly angry and also caused them to panic.
Their city gates were opened, and Lin Tian's army had already stormed in.
In an instant, they were facing a crisis of life and death.
"Archers, fire, fire quickly!!"
"Catapults, smash them to death, don't let them get close!!"
"Soldiers at the city gate, bring out the caltrops and block their advance into the city!!"
As the crisis of life and death arrived, the main general of Daicheng reacted immediately.
The decisions he made were undoubtedly the most practical at the moment and the most likely to save their Daicheng.
After a series of orders were issued, the morale of the Zhao soldiers was greatly boosted.
Then, others also reacted.
"All archers, fire with me, shoot those Qin dogs to death!"
"Damn it, I've long wanted to fight these Qin dogs. Now that they've delivered themselves to our doorstep, we can't let them go!!"
"Well said! These Qin people even dared to mock us before. Now, we'll let them know what price they have to pay for mocking us!"
Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, each of them was filled with a burning rage.
The actions of Lin Tian's army before were simply too humiliating.
Therefore, even though the city gates of Daicheng were breached, the soldiers of Daicheng still wanted to wash away the previous humiliation.
They wanted to take revenge on Lin Tian's army and make Lin Tian's army understand their true strength.
Thus, their counterattack was also extremely fierce.
The archers continuously drew and shot their arrows, not stopping for a moment.
However, in other areas, things were not as smooth.
"Report! General, this is bad! The ropes of our catapults have been cut. The catapults cannot be used for the time being!"
"What? Cut? Damn it, it must be those Qin dogs who did it!"
"Too hateful! The evil Qin people only do sneaky and despicable things. Do they dare to fight us head-on!!"
With the catapults unusable, they had lost a powerful long-range attack method, how could the soldiers of Daicheng not be angry.
However, they could only curse, and they were helpless regarding the catapults being out of commission.
Just as they finished their curses, another piece of bad news arrived.
"Report! General, those Qin people who infiltrated our Daicheng did not leave the city at all. Instead, they are guarding our city gate. As soon as we placed our caltrops at the gate, they directly overturned them!"
"What? There were only a dozen of them? Why haven't they been killed yet?"
"They, their strength is too great. We have already lost over a thousand men to them, yet we still haven't captured them!"
"Over a thousand men?? A dozen of them killed a thousand of ours? Could it be... this person is Lin Tian of Qin?"
The Zhao soldiers knew that Lin Tian of Qin had extraordinary combat prowess and was known as the Sword God of Qin.
He had once killed over four thousand soldiers of Han single-handedly and had snatched the enemy general's head from the midst of tens of thousands of troops.
And the Qin general attacking their Daicheng was precisely Lin Tian of Qin.
This made them instantly certain that Lin Tian of Qin must be among those dozen people.
Thinking of this, the thoughts of the main general of Daicheng shifted rapidly.
"Perhaps we can end this battle quickly!"
"General, you mean...?"
"Gather the true elites of our army, and follow me to capture Lin Tian of Qin alive!"
Compared to facing Qin's fifty thousand troops, they were more willing to face Lin Tian of Qin.
Furthermore, although Lin Tian of Qin was powerful, he was not invincible.
In the eyes of the main general of Daicheng, as long as they had enough masters, capturing Lin Tian would not be a difficult task.
Holding such a thought, the main general of Daicheng personally led a thousand of their elite troops straight towards Lin Tian.
After the main general of Daicheng descended the city, the soldiers on the city walls could finally see clearly through the hazy night that their arrows had not posed any threat to Lin Tian's army.
Many shields had been erected in front of Lin Tian's army.
The soldiers, holding shields, advanced step by step, directly blocking the arrows from the archers of Daicheng.
Earlier, due to the darkness and the distance, they had not noticed anything amiss with the Qin army.
However, now that the Qin army had approached, they felt a fatal threat.
Their arrows caused no damage to Lin Tian's army, which meant that Lin Tian's fifty thousand troops would soon attack the city.
Moreover, they were helpless on the city walls.
This made the soldiers on the city walls instantly anxious.
"Quick, quick, go and inform the general, tell them to stop hunting Lin Tian of Qin. The Qin army is about to break into the city!"
"Stop shooting, it's useless. Our arrows pose no threat to them. Descend the city, and now come with me to the foot of the city to fight the Qin army!"
"Everyone, prepare for battle. The moment of life and death for our Daicheng has arrived!"
At this moment, the people of Daicheng finally realized the gravity of the situation.
Due to their carelessness, their city gates had been breached, and the Qin army had already reached their city gates.
Their Daicheng might be taken by the Qin people at any moment.
The time for their desperate struggle had truly come.
And the main general of Daicheng quickly realized this.
When they were about to go and surround Lin Tian, they discovered that the Qin army was not far from Lin Tian.
This also made him understand that this was their last chance.
"Kill! Kill them! Even if we have to die, we will drag Lin Tian down to hell with us!"
