Time was of the essence, and with a thunderous noise, the city gate began to rise slowly. Rebels from both inside and outside saw the gate opening and surged in like a swarm!
Liu Kaixuan, accompanied by a few veterans, held the gate resolutely, their blades dripping with blood, their eyes blazing with a killing fury!
As the gate was halfway open, the Ling Iron Cavalry had already charged to the front from within the rebel ranks. The Iron Cavalry hadn't slowed down, piercing through the rebels to form a pathway.
The horses leapt over the heads of Liu Kaixuan and his men! Charging straight through the gate, they appeared amidst the black-clad rebels.
The Iron Cavalry flew over their heads, and Liu Kaixuan and his men struggled valiantly to hold off the rebels on both sides. As soon as the Ling Iron Cavalry burst through the gate, the defending soldiers cut the pulley ropes with a sword!
Boom!
