Lord Commander, be careful, you should take the lead, "a thirty year old high-ranking officer, who was in charge of defending the city tonight, said loudly. Li Tuo pulled his sleeves and said," The Korean Army has a total of two teams digging into the walls.

"Don't panic. Calm down. There is only one way." Gao An waved his hands and glared at Li Tuo.

He immediately ordered a herald to run on top of the city wall and shout loudly, saying that the Lord Commander is right on top of the city wall to supervise the battle, he wants the Gauzeli soldier to fight seriously, do not panic. The herald quickly ran from the north to the south. When the Gauzeli soldier heard this, their courage increased and they started shouting for help.

"Bring some firewood, the more the better." Gao An waved to the soldiers on the city walls and ordered loudly.

As soon as he gave the order, many people immediately ran out of the city. Under the city, there were many beds for garrison soldier to sleep in. For the sake of heating and cooking, there were many piles of dried wood. At this critical moment, the soldiers couldn't care less and brought the firewood up to the city one by one. Some of them even tore down the bunks as well.

"Burn them all, throw them down and burn them!" Gao An bellowed out an order in anger.

The Gauzeli soldier s lit up the firewood one by one and threw them into the city to burn the Korean Army Soldiers s who were digging the holes in the city. Some simply threw it without lighting, then poured in oil and threw in torches. Soon, the firewood was set ablaze.

Yang Lin, Zhang Banxian and the rest were standing not far from the city wall. Seeing the fire inside the city wall grow stronger, they couldn't help but frown, but they were extremely furious in their hearts.

However, he could not do so. It was such a long hill. The stones that came crashing down from above made the soldiers almost unable to stand. The wall was tall and thick, and there were many soldiers defending it. Who knew how many soldiers would die if they wanted to climb it!

He raised his eyes to look, only to see the Chinese Army Soldiers s digging walls and digging holes, while pushing the burning firewood into the distance. People kept falling down, and people kept rushing forward, sprinting to replace the dead soldiers.

The sky gradually brightened. Both sides had already seen everything clearly. Arrows were being shot at each other on the city walls. It was as if they were competing in an archery competition. Both sides were very strong, and there were casualties on both sides, but no one gave in, as the number of Arrows became more and more concentrated.

After half a night of arduous battle, the Korean Army Soldiers finally dug out two big holes. The soldiers could hide inside the holes, the stones on the walls and the Arrows were unable to do anything to them. However, Korean Army Soldiers had also paid a heavy price. Over a hundred people from Zhang Quan and Wu Feng's squadron and over 200 from Chen Ning and Yang Tian's squadron had died!

During the whole of the next day, the two squadrons had to continue digging. The Gaoguellian on the city wall was already powerless and could not think of any way to stop the Han army from continuing to dig. After a day of digging, the hole had already dug in the depth of two zhang. The broken bricks and dirt were piled on both sides of the hole, looking like two small hills.

Gao An originally wanted to hang a group of people and Han army to fight for the big hole, but seeing that the Han army's Arrows s were too powerful, and there were already twenty or thirty Korean Army Soldiers s in the cave, there was no point in hanging anymore. With so many people hanging, they all became live targets of the Han army, thus he gave up on this idea.

However, Gao An was not worried, he was even looking down on the Chinese army. He even thought that once the Han Army's big hole was opened, he would use fire oil to seal the hole, and burn all of Korean Army Soldiers inside the big hole. For this, he ordered his men to stop using the kerosene, and prepared to use it at the end.

By midnight of the second day, the hole had already dug more than 40 feet deep. According to the intelligence he received earlier, the Linjiang Pass's city walls were over sixty meters thick and it was time to dig through it in about ten meters. Yang Lin ordered the soldiers to stop and let the soldiers retreat.

"Begin!"

Yang Lin waved his hand, and the special forces that were already prepared immediately began to move. Under the cover of the Eastern archer, they moved the explosives into the big hole. They were Yang Lin's personal guards normally, so they used Thunderbolt Bomb s when they were in Guan Jian. Ordinary people, even generals, would not come into contact with Thunderbolt Bomb.

"Those who participate in the excavation will be rewarded 10,000 gold coins each, a great achievement will be recorded! Anyone who is sacrificed will be rewarded with twenty thousand gold, and given to their families in the future. "

Looking at these retreating Morvo soldiers, Yang Lin's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Although they were soldiers from a different race, Yang Lin felt that they were very close today. He walked forward and patted the soldiers' shoulders, and then affectionately checked their injuries.

The leaders of the Morvo often gathered the young and strong to fight, but they never gave them a single coin. The Lord General had rewarded them with ten thousand gold coins, which was enough for them to sell the land for thirty acres.

Since when did the Morvo soldiers receive such an honor? This was a Lord General of the Han Army, even that group of great figures whom the Chinese Army Generals revered like a god. Usually, they could only look from afar, but now, they actually asked about it.

"Get up, everyone get up. You guys go and have a good sleep now. When we take over the Linjiang Pass, I'll drink with you to celebrate! "

Suddenly, Yang Lin felt a sense of guilt. No matter what, these soldiers were all descendants of the Yan Huang race and belonged to the Chinese nation. As long as the ruler treated them a little better, wouldn't they be willing to submit to the imperial government?

"Brothers, you are the bravest Chinese Army Soldiers, I am proud of you! "From today onwards, you will all follow my surname, Zhou. After you have rested, I will give each of you a name!"

In these Barbarian Tribes, only the Lord Chief, scholars that had studied before, and merchants that traveled in the north would have names. Slaves like them were usually called a cat or dog, so it was even more impossible for them to have a surname.

"Thank you Lord General for giving me your surname!"

The Morvo soldiers knelt down once again, and kowtowed to Yang Lin. To them, having a surname was a great honor, let alone following the Lord General. As a result, they were no longer the soldiers of the imperial government, but the servants of the Lord General.

The soldiers who had not participated in the excavation were watching from the side with fire burning in their eyes. Even if he managed to dig a huge hole in the ground, the Lord General still valued them so highly. Why didn't he get the chance to experience such a good deed? They could not help but resent their general in their heart. Such a good thing, why didn't they look for Lord General to fight for it?

At the fourth fragment of the night, all the Korean Army Soldiers s were woken up and ate their fill. When it was five o'clock, the group arrived at the walls of the city outside of Linjiang Pass. The cavalry and infantry arranged themselves in formation, waiting for the decisive moment to come.

The Tribal soldiers s were obviously very excited. Finally, it was their turn to fight. The treatment of the soldiers digging holes had long ago spread throughout the entire camp. All the Tribal soldiers s were full of energy, they had to make the Lord General have a whole new level of respect for them.

When the sky was about to brighten, the special forces had already filled the hole in the wall with explosives and set up the lead wire. Then, they picked up a torch and waved it three times towards the distance. Yang Lin saw that the caves on both sides were filled with gunpowder, he raised his head and looked at the sky, and sent a signal. The Special Forces soldiers ignited the fuse and hurried out through the hole in the wall.

"Boom …"

"Boom …"

First, it was to the north, then it was to the south. Two loud world-shaking explosions sounded, and two sections of the wall on top of Linjiang Pass was lifted up into the sky. The entire mountain shook twice, and even the thick clouds in the sky began to tremble, causing the snowflakes to fall even faster.

Many Gauzeli soldier on the city wall followed the huge explosion and flew into the sky. In the air, miserable screams could be heard, causing people's hair to stand on end. Those Gauzeli soldier who did not get the bomb were not much better off. They had already fainted due to the huge explosion, some soldiers even jumped down from the city wall, their minds going crazy.

What was even more laughable was that the Tribal soldiers s of the Han Army were scared out of their wits by the huge explosion. The oriental person, Morvo people and Saur s all knelt down, trembling all over, and started to mutter to themselves, begging for forgiveness!

Yang Lin was just about to order everyone to attack, but he did not expect his troops to all kneel down. His lips moved, just as he was about to get angry, none of the Tribal soldiers noticed him. He helplessly shook his head, and revealed a bitter smile.

"Lord General, quickly follow me!"

Suddenly, the Zhang Banxian grabbed the horse reins in Yang Lin's hands, and the two horses ran up the mountain ridge. Yang Lin's personal guards did not understand and also ran over. Zhang Banxian raised her hand, and left Yang Lin alone on the mountain ridge. He and janissaries took a few steps back, jumped off the horse, and knelt down towards Yang Lin.

"Long live!"

Zhang Banxian knelt on the ground and practically used all of her strength to shout loudly, covering all the sounds of prayer in an instant. Those janissaries s immediately realised what was happening and shouted loudly, following closely behind the Zhang Banxian, their shouts resonating through the skies.

The frightened Tribal soldiers s all raised their heads, only to see that amidst the wind and snow, the smoke and dust that had exploded was still floating in the air, while a burly and burly figure stood on top of the mountain ridge, looking like a god descending from the sky, looking down upon all the living beings under the heavens.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

All the soldiers, including those from Saur, Morvo s, oriental person s, or even those from the Korean Army Soldiers s, were all shocked by the scene in front of them! He couldn't help but kowtow and shout. The sound waves were even more spectacular than the explosion!

The Gauzeli soldier on top of the city wall looked like they were given the orders by a witch, as they stared straight at Yang Lin who was on top of the mountain ridge. Within the hazy starlight, the silver armoured Yang Lin radiated light in all directions, as if he was a god of war that had descended to the mortal world.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

It was unknown who shouted first, but soon after, quite a few soldiers started shouting. The Gaoguellian was also a tribe of the Barbarian, they worshipped the strong from the bottom of their bones. The tall and sturdy figure who stood between the heavens and the earth was the God of Heaven. It was their honor to be defeated by an Empyrean God. If they were able to follow an Empyrean God, it would be their boundless glory!
