Chapter 328 - 160: The Luo Family Is Just So-So? Time to Breach the City!_3
```
He admitted, he had indeed been somewhat frightened.
Luo Mountain Prefecture, Luo Family.
This was a family power that had become extremely notorious recently.
Those who dared to oppose the Luo Family, the better off ones suffered heavy losses.
And the less fortunate ones were uprooted by the Luo Family altogether.
The Guan Family from the same Luo Mountain Prefecture could attest to that.
Moreover, the Luo Family had dispatched a million clad in fine armor.
In his hands, the soldiers clad in full armor barely numbered over a hundred thousand.
If one were to include some of the militia within the city,
it was estimated that they would not exceed two hundred thousand in number.
On one side was a million clad in armor, and on the other, less than two hundred thousand, and at most, only half of those were fully armed.
Between the two, who was strong and who was weak?
At a glance, one could tell.
Yet, what transpired next was somewhat beyond this Miao Family general’s expectations.
In the past month, the Luo Family had launched attacks.
Furthermore, the frequency of their attacks was not low.
But, who could have anticipated,
that the Luo Family’s million-clad army would spend a full month outside the walls of this city,
and even then, they had not taken the city where he was stationed.
This compelled the general of the Miao Family to consider
that this Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture might just be an empty shell, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Bullying the so-called Guan Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture was one thing,
but should they truly come to the Miao Family’s territory in Chenguan Prefecture,
the Luo Family, however strong, would have to lower their heads before the Miao Family.
"General..."
At the Chenguan Prefecture border, within a huge and highly-defended city, atop the city walls.
Behind the general clad in dark red armor,
a deputy general suddenly stepped forward with an expression that seemed somewhat panic-stricken and said, "General, the people from the Luo Family have made their move..."
The general clad in dark red armor heard this.
He calmly adjusted his slightly disheveled dark red armor.
Then, with an exceedingly composed expression, he said, "So, they’ve made their move, just arrange the soldiers to defend, what’s there to talk about with such a matter?"
Under normal circumstances, upon his saying this,
the deputy general behind him would have left
to set about arranging the defense of the city.
Only, this time,
the deputy general didn’t leave but instead, the panic on his face grew even more intense: "General, this time it’s different, the Luo Family has mobilized its entire army, a million clad in armor, a mighty procession, dust and smoke billowing, their might is like a prison..."
"And in our hands, we have only slightly over a hundred thousand soldiers."
"If, if..."
"If the Luo Family were to choose to attack forcefully."
"Even if our city walls are so thick, so firm, I fear they may not withstand the attack from the Luo Family..."
...
At the Chenguan Prefecture border, within a fortress, atop the city walls.
The voice of the deputy general gradually echoed.
The general clad in dark red armor heard this.
He first looked ahead towards the Luo Family’s seemingly endless great army.
Then he swallowed hard.
Gradually, his words lost the confidence they initially held.
"Is that really the case?"
"You’re not deceiving me?"
The deputy general, with his head slightly lowered and an anxious expression, said, "At a time like this, how could I dare to deceive the general..."
"General, what shall we do next?"
At those words, the general clad in dark red armor did not respond to the deputy general’s question.
One side with a million clad in armor, the other with just over a hundred thousand clad in armor
```
If the Luo Family is truly determined to break through the gates of Chenguan Prefecture, regardless of the losses,
then, no matter how strong the city walls here may be,
in the end, I’m afraid they won’t hold.
The Luo Family could capture this city by piling up their corpses if need be...
It’s just that, if the Luo Family does this,
does it really make sense?
The terrain within Chenguan Prefecture is treacherous and easy to defend but hard to attack.
Similar fortresses are abundant in number.
If the Luo Family loses a vast number of soldiers here, how will they continue to assault other strongholds?
...
As the Luo Family’s army, reputed to be a million strong in armor,
arrived one after another outside this section of the city wall,
Luo Yong, the leader of this army,
abruptly halted his advance.
He waved his hand and from the storage bag at his waist, he took out about a thousand Cooling Charms.
the storage bag had been given to him by Patriarch Changfeng some time ago.
The Cooling Charms were what was left over from before.
He had thought that these talismans would likely be of no use anymore.
However, to his surprise,
they came in handy here.
"Cooling Charms?"
"Does he intend to use the bone-chilling cold to weaken or even directly freeze to death the Miao Family soldiers on the city walls?"
As Luo Yong took out the Cooling Charms,
Tang Jian couldn’t help but glance over.
After that, he no longer paid attention to these matters,
merely waving the White Feather Fan in his hand with great leisure.
When Luo Qingshan saw this scene,
he took out three strands of untouched, pure yellow Buddha Beads from a small bell on the storage space at his waist.
He hung them around his left wrist.
What came next was to silently wait,
wait for the talismans’ power to take effect, wait until the Miao Family soldiers were nearly broken,
then it would be time for their Luo Family to breach the city and begin the slaughter.
...
The border of Chenguan Prefecture.
Within the fortress, atop the city walls,
the general clad in dark red armor was somewhat panicked,
but he had not yet reached the stage of a disorderly retreat.
In fact, at this stage, even if he wanted to flee,
surrounded by the Luo Family’s so-called million-strong elite army, it seemed his paths of retreat had already been cut off.
Other than a fight to the death with the Luo Family,
there appeared to be no better option.
"Eh..."
"What are those people from the Luo Family doing?"
After waiting silently for a long time,
the general in dark red armor still hadn’t seen the Luo Family’s army attack.
So, out of curiosity, he stepped forward to get a better look.
The mighty and formidable elite army of the Luo Family still heavily besieged this fortress.
However, unlike usual,
the Luo Family troopers had not chosen to attack directly.
Instead, they seemed to be waiting for something.
