575: Chapter 575 All-out attack!
Xiang Yu stood proudly beneath the city gate, his posture tall and straight.
At this moment, he watched those ten incomparably brave men galloping freely through the enemy ranks, and a gratified smile gradually appeared on his face.
With the help of these ten men, the pressure on Xiang Yu was instantly and greatly reduced.
Previously, he had faced the enemy's heavy encirclement alone; though he was brave and invincible, the pressure had been immense.
Now, watching Long Que, Yu Ziqi, Wang Meng, and the others—ten men in total—weave through the enemy ranks like ten sharp blades, cutting down enemies like chopping vegetables, the burden in his heart lightened instantly, and a domineering aura emanated from his eyes.
Standing on a high ground in the distance, Fan Zeng witnessed everything, his eyes full of wonder and admiration.
His eyes, usually deep and inscrutable, were now wide open, fixed intently on the situation on the battlefield, especially every move Xiang Yu made.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Being the first to scale the walls, breaking the enemy formation, slaying the general, and seizing the flag—these are the peerless achievements of a great man, and Yuer has done all four by himself."
After speaking, he shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing infinite admiration for Xiang Yu, as if he were appreciating a rare and peerless treasure of the world.
"Yuer's divine bravery is truly rare throughout the ages!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with deep emotion.
Xiang Liang was also nearby, equally shocked by the scene before him.
He nodded vigorously and replied, "Indeed! That our Xiang family has someone as divinely brave as Yuer is truly a blessing for the family and for our army. His bravery will surely help us achieve our great cause!"
A look of pride radiated from Xiang Liang's face.
"All-out attack!"
With Xiang Liang's command, the five thousand cavalrymen who received the order swept toward Delrosia City like a tidal wave.
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and dust flew everywhere; the scene was as if the earth were shaking and the mountains were swaying.
The cavalrymen were all high-spirited, their weapons flashing with a cold light, as if they were a pack of hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
With Rajesh Singh Delrosia dead, the morale of Delrosia City's defenders plummeted to its lowest point.
Their once-determined eyes became panicked, and the weapons in their hands seemed to grow heavy.
Furthermore, with Long Que, Yu Ziqi, Wang Meng, and the others—ten in total—continuously slashing through Delrosia City, their bravery struck terror into the hearts of the defenders, and any thought of resistance dropped to the freezing point.
Many soldiers began to look around anxiously, their eyes filled with fear and confusion, not knowing how much longer they could hold out.
Finally, the five thousand cavalrymen swarmed into the wide-open gates of Delrosia City. Shouts of battle and the clashing of weapons intertwined as a fierce siege battle broke out in full force.
The Chu Army's morale was soaring. Led by Xiang Yu, Long Que, and the others, they launched a fierce offensive against the enemy.
The Chu Army's battle cries shook the heavens. Especially the cavalry that had poured into the city; they held scimitars, and with the momentum of their horses, the blades sliced through the defenders of Delrosia City.
With the power of the warhorses, the scimitars easily cut through limbs upon contact, inflicting massive damage.
Under such a terrifying and powerful offensive, the defenders of Delrosia City finally collapsed.
Some soldiers were seen throwing down their weapons, their legs giving way as they collapsed directly onto the ground.
Some soldiers had hollow eyes, as if they had lost their souls, standing dazed in place as they allowed the Chu Army to charge toward them.
Even more soldiers knelt to surrender one after another. They knelt on the ground with their hands above their heads, their faces full of terror and supplication.
Some soldiers were even trembling all over, constantly muttering pleas for mercy.
Their armor was in disarray, and their hair was disheveled; they were in a wretched state.
"Surrender and be spared! Surrender and be spared!"
Although the defenders of Delrosia City could not understand what the Chu Army was shouting, they were not fools. After seeing that the Chu Army only killed those who resisted and spared those who laid down their weapons, they understood the meaning.
They threw down their weapons one after another and knelt on the ground.
