Chapter 1054: Ran Min’s Rage

The iron defenses that the Japanese built were not just for show. By the time Ran Min’s forces charged to the front of the cannon turrets, a third of the elite troops had already been lost. If they were not elites, the entire force would have already collapsed.

The further in front they went in, the more closely packed the firepower of the enemy formation was.

Right in front of the cannon turret, bullets were fired out from the small shooting holes. Luckily, the sword-shield soldiers were wearing armor, and they had their chests and important areas protected. If not, they would have died immediately.

As the bullets hit the armor, it let out ‘ding ding!’ sounds like the summoning of the death god. Once one was unfortunate enough to be shot in face that was not protected, one basically had no chance to survive.

The beneficial part to Ran Min was that once the forces charged to the front of the cannon turrets, the killing strength of the cannons lost their effect and did not pose a threat to them.

Even the enemy archers were less effective due to their vision being blocked off. The cannon turret corners became dead zones, as the enemy troops could not hit it.

“Charge up!” Ran Min’s face was really vicious.

When they heard the command, the sword-shield soldiers immediately placed up ladders onto the cannon turret whilst they used their shields to block the front. Their hands held onto their Tang Blades as they climbed swiftly up. It was obvious that they had trained well daily.

When Guo Ziyi saw that, he could not help but nod his head in satisfaction, “At least they did not throw our face away.”

Although the cannon turrets could be considered a defensive work, it could not compare with the city walls. Not only was it half as thin, but the turrets in the front were just four meters tall and could easily be climbed.

Although Ran Min was tall and big, he moved like a swift chimpanzee, climbing up the turret in just a few moves. He swung the spear in his hand and stabbed the six Japanese soldiers that surrounded him.

Very quickly, Ran Min gained a footing on the cannon turret, leading more and more soldiers to climb onto the turret.

When Guo Ziyi saw that, his eyes shone as he swung his order flag. With a ‘Shua!’, the remaining 60 thousand elites that had boarded cima boats charged onto the beaches.

‘Hong! Hong! Hong!’

Another round of cannon fire. Ran Min had only affected the first row of cannon turrets. The two at the back and the arrow turrets still worked as normal, and they fired toward the beaches.

With the valiant performance of the Legion General, the blazing legion corps did not fear, braving the cannon fire and charging out to the front.

“Glory belongs to the blazing legion corps!”

That’s right, if they won this battle, the blazing legion corps would be famous across the world.

…

They were facing two big problems in their attempts at breaking through the defenses of the enemy.

First, they needed to open up a breach in the defensive line and use this as a base to spread out in four directions. After the 10 thousand blazing legion corps elites paid a heavy price, they solved this problem.

Secondly, they would need to defend the breach, which was much harder to accomplish than the first task.

Seeing Ran Min climb up the cannon turret, the Sanli City Army and the Japanese combat occupation players acted like they were crazy as they charged right at Ran Min without caring about sacrifices.

Looking at the situation, Ran Min was about to be drowned.

The blazing legion corps did not back down, swearing to protect the glory of the blazing legion corps. Both sides fought with their lives; they only sought to attack and not to defend.

The brutal killing caused the skies to change color.

The winds on the ocean increased in speed, waves crashed, and water splattered on the beaches. The cima boats of the expedition army shook left and right under the crashing of the huge waves.

Some cima boats directly flipped over and capsized.

Even the squadron that stopped at the outer regions started to go up and down. Although the sails were already lowered, they were still unable to maintain stability. As the ships were too closely packed, it was easy for them to knock into one another.

“This damned weather!”

The Yashan Squadron Fleet Admiral Yu Dayou grumbled as he ordered the ships to spread out. At the same time, he arranged for sailors to save the blazing legion corps soldiers that fell into the water.

Fallen Phoenix City was located in the north of China, so a large half of them had never swam in their lives.

The massacre at the cannon turrets continued.

Both sides fought till their eyes were red with killing intent. In just a short half an hour, fresh blood dyed the cannon turret.

As there were many corpses that dropped off the cannon turret, along with the rain-like fresh blood, the vision of the gunners hiding inside the turrets were totally blocked.

One could see how intense this battle was.

To the Japanese, each battle in this country war was a final battle, and a fight to the death. Each base they lost meant that they were one step closer to being wiped out.

Hence, they had no way out and could only fight to the death.

Especially the combat occupation players. Not only did they care about glory, but they also cared about the lives of their families. If they defended, everything would be as usual. If they lost, rather than being forcefully respawned by Gaia, why not just die on the battlefield?

The Japanese were really strong in their bones, and when they went all out, they were really terrifying.

The most direct showing of that was that Ran Min’s forces that charged up the turrets were being wiped out at a visible rate. The land that they took down was being reclaimed by the enemy.

Seeing the land that their brothers used their lives to exchange for was about to be lost, Ran Min was furious. He was totally infuriated!

“Kill!”

Ran Min hollered, his voice shocking everyone.

His body swelled up, his muscles rose up like little mountains, and his veins popped as a strong killing intent charged at the enemy, terrifying them.

His long spear was dyed red with blood.

The Japanese soldiers on the turret attacking Ran Min felt it the most. Looking at Ran Min, the soldiers backed off instead of advancing. Ran Min let out a cold smile and charged forward.

All of a sudden, blood splattered, and bodies dropped.

The berserk Ran Min was like a desolate beast, charging around on the battlefield. Anywhere his spear passed, men fell. No one could block Ran Min.

Even the Japanese players could not!

Fear spread out like a plague. As expected from one of the top 10 fierce generals of China.

“Charge together!”

The Japanese soldiers overcame their fears and charged at Ran Min once again.

Ran Min’s eyes were like lightning. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent and brutality. He was like a killing machine without feelings, making his way unopposed amongst the enemy. It was like he did not know what exhaustion was.

Anyone in his way was killed.

“Kill!”

Being stimulated by that, the blazing legion corps’ morale boomed, and their killing intent was riled up.

This massacre was entering its most intense stage as soldiers on both sides forgot about life and death, about their brothers, about their friends, and about families. They only had their enemies in their eyes, and they only had one thought in their hearts.

“Kill them!”

Death and injuries swept over like a flood as both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Although Ran Min was strong, he was still alone. The Japanese soldiers were like an endless wave, once one batch died, another followed.

Only a few blazing legion corps soldiers could still stand up on the turret.

Less than 10% of the 10 thousand blazing legion corps troops remained.

A tragic feeling spread about on the battlefield, sweeping one with emotions.
