The next moment, the heavy armor moved.

The ruined city wall rumbled and trembled at the incredibly orderly footsteps, and the black armor of dark iron was immersed in the snow-white steam that could not be blown away by the wind, and they went upstream against the enemy's artillery fire that was like a tide.

The first batch of heavy armor was like a saber that could block everything. It swept across at an extremely fast speed like a whirlwind and pushed directly into the enemy camp. The heads and limbs that were blown off were flying in pieces, but the raging fire could not melt the black iron after all. As long as the golden box itself did not explode, most of the corpses that failed in the mission could remain upright. The bodies of the soldiers in the armor were dead, but the gears of the machinery were still turning, and they continued to rush forward as if their souls had not yet dispersed.

When it becomes difficult to continue, someone will come later to pry open the golden box behind the black armor and light the fuse hidden inside.

Those soldiers under the iron masks were indistinguishable from each other, thousands of them were the same, the marquis and the newly enlisted soldier of the Beidaying were no different - some were holding the wind-cutting blade under the artillery fire and sweeping away the heads of the enemy, while others exploded on the spot into an anonymous purple firework.

Li Feng stood on the Red Head Kite with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked Tan Hongfei, who was standing by his side, "Where is Ah Min?"

Tan Hongfei was stunned for a moment when his name was called, and replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince has climbed the city wall."

The hot wind blew away the anger on Li Feng's face. He calmed down in the devastation and threw the imperial sword in his hand to Tan Hongfei on the black eagle: "Pass on my oral order. The country is in crisis. The prince is too young to bear the heavy responsibility. I am unworthy and have no virtue or talent. I have trapped the country and the people here. I feel ashamed of my ancestors. I want to abdicate to the King of Yanbei. I don't have time to draft the imperial edict. You take this to him and send him away."

Tan Hongfei: “…”

He hurriedly caught the heavy sword, glanced at the emperor's face, and his eyes swept across the slightly graying temples of Emperor Long'an.

Li Feng waved his hand indifferently.

Chang Geng climbed up the city wall with a longbow in hand and took over the aerial battlefield.

Tan Hongfei landed beside Chang Geng amid Bai Hong's roar, holding the imperial sword like a hot potato: "Your Highness!"

Chang Geng knew what he was going to say at a glance.

Tan Hongfei: "Your Highness, the Emperor said..."

A wounded soldier with only one leg left on the city wall ran over and said, "Your Highness, the rockets are gone!"

"If the fire arrows are gone, we can use the iron arrows. If the iron arrows are gone, we can use the ownerless wind-cutting blades. Why are you panicking?" Chang Geng didn't even blink, but spoke very bluntly, "We will defend this city wall until it collapses into pieces. Commander Tan, return that thing and tell Li Feng that I don't owe him anything. I won't be his lonely king. Also, he is now the general flag. When the two armies face each other, the flag must not fall. The brothers are relying on this flag to support their lives. Take care of him and don't let him die easily."

At this moment, at least for Commander Tan, ten Li Fengs were not as effective as one Chang Geng. Upon hearing this, he threw back the emperor's instructions without saying a word, blew a long whistle, and together with several black eagles, stood firm beside the emperor's red-headed kite.

The heavily armored soldiers under the city had broken through a path with their human flesh, but once the heavy armored soldiers broke into the enemy's formation, the roaring long and short cannons and the powerful white rainbow arrows would be useless. It would be a desperate fight on the ground. The Western army was helpless for a while and had to suddenly intensify the air attacks.

Countless ownerless wind-cutting blades were mounted on the Baihong longbow. After King Yanbei gave an order, those legendary divine weapons were shot out like iron arrows without reservation. The rotating white blades turned into blooming flowers, crushing the wind in them, and rolled towards the large number of Western eagle armors with the names of the deceased.

Chang Geng wiped the dusty Clairvoyance with his fingers, clamped it on his straight nose, and ordered: "Send the second batch of wind blades."

A young soldier beside him voluntarily acted as a personal guard. Upon hearing this, he opened his shrill voice, which had not yet changed, and shouted: "Fire the arrows--"

Then he turned to Chang Geng and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what should we do now that the Cutting Wind Blade has been used up? Should we throw rocks at the city?"

Chang Geng glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Although we are out of ammunition and food this time, thanks to the accumulation of our Daliang Emperor over the years, there is still some purple gold in the capital. If we really can't hold on, we can learn from General Han Qi and pour the purple gold from the city wall and burn the capital together. The foreigners won't be able to take a penny."

The young soldier shuddered at his careless words.

Chang Geng: "How old are you?"

The young soldier was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Ten...eighteen."

Chang Geng laughed and said, "Don't try that on me."

"……fifteen."

Some poor families who cannot afford to raise too many children will send their young ones to the army to receive military pay. However, they are afraid that the army will reject them because they are too young, so they will do some tricks to falsify their ages.

"Fifteen," Chang Geng whispered, "When I was fifteen, I was investigating the Wei Wang Rebellion with General Gu in Jiangnan. I knew nothing. You are more promising than me."

At this moment, the Western Eagle Armors in the distance took off into the air at the Pope's command and also fought.

One by one, the Western eagle-armored soldiers held cannons and fired at the city. The cannons, which were supposed to be protected by the iron arms of the chariots, had a huge recoil. When the cannon fire flew out from one end, the person holding the cannon at the other end would be immediately blown away and killed.

This group of Western eagle-armored soldiers, like a suicide squad, fired long cannons like raindrops at the inside and outside of the city wall, and the wall collapsed in half immediately.

The red-headed kite was affected by the wind wave and was on the verge of falling. Uncle Wang Guojie hugged the mast crying and shouting, but was pushed away by Zhang Fenghan who climbed up breathlessly.

"Your Majesty!" Lord Fenghan also took off his court robes, holding a fish belly in his hands. Inside the fish belly was swaying purple gold that was so purple that it was almost black. He was almost knocked down by the shaking of the red-headed kite. A guard next to him was so scared that he hurried forward to catch the dangerous object.

Feng Hangong: "Your Majesty, the ammunition is exhausted. As entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yanbei, this old minister has now transported all the existing purple gold in the city to the city gate, and has ordered his men to load it in batches..."

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Protect the emperor!"

The flying artillery fire interrupted Feng Han Gong's words and passed by Li Feng's red-headed kite. The red-headed kite had a corner blown off immediately, and it groaned hoarsely and tilted to one side.

Another cannon shot came relentlessly, hitting the red-headed kite's abdomen. The red-headed kite, which had just been severely injured, had lost control. Amid the shouting of the crowd, Li Feng's pupils shrank into a needle-like dot as the cannon fire hit them.

Tan Hongfei roared, opened his wings suddenly, and swooped over with black wings hanging from the sky.

The moment he hugged the cannon, Eagle Armor accelerated at its fastest speed. The high temperature and impact instantly blew this old subordinate of Xuantie, who had been brooding over an old case from twenty years ago, into the sky. Together with the cannon, he turned into a sky-piercing monkey that never returned.

...Fortunately, I have not failed in my mission.

The wind-cutting blades on the city wall that had reaped the lives of countless foreigners finally emptied out. Chang Geng looked back at this not-so-friendly capital city and felt a little disappointed - he couldn't see the Marquis' Mansion here.

Then he waved his hand, drew up the longbow, dipped the tip of the iron arrow in a little kerosene, and shot it at the enemy in the air. The kerosene flew through the air at high speed, ignited the tip of the arrow, and passed by like a meteor - this was a signal.

Lord Feng Han rolled up his sleeves and said, "Red-headed Kite, get ready!"

In addition to where Li Feng was, the last dozen or so red-headed kites in the capital floated up to the city, like a group of dancers dressed in gorgeous red makeup, moving lightly on the sea of ​​swords and fire with lotus steps, carrying purple flowing gold, and collided in the air with the Western eagle armor that came to die.

The emperor's face changed.

Chang Geng on the city wall was the first to be hit. The light armor he had put on temporarily could not block the airflow that was falling on him. He felt a huge force hitting his chest. His eyes went dark, and he spurted out blood. He lost consciousness for a short time.

The young man who had just delivered the message for him shouted and rushed over, trying to protect him with his body.

The city wall finally collapsed completely.

Chang Geng didn't know how long he had been unconscious. It took him a long while to regain consciousness. He found that one of his legs was stuck between two broken gears, and the young soldier who had just protected him was left with only a pair of arms, which were broken at the shoulders. The soldier was nowhere to be found, and all that remained was a pair of bloody short cloaks on his body.

Chang Geng gritted his teeth, feeling that the severe pain all over his body was still bearable because it was not as painful as when the urinary bone attack occurred.

Maybe there was bleeding in my ears. I couldn't hear the sounds from far away or near clearly. They were all chaotic and blurry.

Chang Geng thought: "When Zixi doesn't take medicine, is this how the surroundings are for him... It's strangely quiet."

The city wall collapsed, has the city been broken?

Is Li Feng still alive?

Yes, and Gu Yun...

Chang Geng didn't dare to go on when he thought of Gu Yun, fearing that those two words would drain away all his courage. He quickly cut off his thoughts, curled up his body, groped for the seams of the steel armor on his legs, pried open the eight buckles one by one, and dragged himself out.

There was still an iron arrow behind him, and the longbow had not been crushed yet, so he could still kill another person.

As long as this breath lasts...

Just as Chang Geng had just pulled his legs out and had not yet had time to stand up, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.

Chang Geng was unable to dodge, and subconsciously tilted his head back, instinctively pulling out the iron bow in his hand.

A small wooden bird fell in front of him and was split into two halves by the iron bow in mid-air. A ball of sea-ripple paper fell out of its belly.

Chang Geng was completely stunned.

Then, the King of Yanbei, who had been terrifyingly calm just now, suddenly began to tremble all over. The light piece of sea-ripple paper was spread on the ground, and he raised his hand to pick it up twice but failed. His hands were shaking so much that his five fingers could hardly close. Only then did he realize that the steel armor on his arm had long been detached, and the joints of two fingers had been dislocated and could not be used.

He vaguely heard someone shouting "Reinforcements have arrived", which should have been the good news that everyone had been waiting for.

However, Chang Geng did not have time to feel much joy in his heart. Instead, he felt an indescribable fear after the shock.

Because only when he was determined to die could he briefly put aside the fact that Gu Yun might have turned into molten iron.

The planned Yellow Springs Road suddenly encountered complications, and it seemed that they were going to block him here. Chang Geng was stunned for a moment.

"Brother!" He vaguely heard a voice calling out, and the next moment, a light horse came galloping over. The person who came was none other than Ge Chen, who had been away for a long time and looked exhausted.

Ge Chenfei dismounted, supported the embarrassed Chang Geng, and explained incoherently: "Brother, I was at General Shen's place when I received your letter, but at that time in Southern Xinjiang..."

Chang Geng didn't hear a word he said, and interrupted him like a madman: "Where's Zixi?"

His words were unclear, and Ge Chen didn't hear clearly for a moment: "What?"

Chang Geng shook his hand away, struggled to stand up, and walked towards the outside of the city regardless of anything. He was injured on his back by something unknown, and a large amount of blood was dripping down his clothes, but he was completely unaware of it.

Ge Chen: "Big brother? Your Highness!"

Chang Geng turned a deaf ear to it. Ge Chen watched as a stray arrow flew towards Chang Geng, and he did not even know how to dodge. He hurriedly took a step forward to pull him away, but after just two steps, Chang Geng's eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

Ge Chen took a deep breath and thought, "Oh no, is something wrong with the Marquis?"

Ge Chen had always been decisive since he was young. He immediately stretched out his hand like a knife and chopped Chang Geng's neck diagonally, knocking him unconscious.

On this day, the usually stable imperial city experienced the bloodiest battle in history. The emperor sacrificed himself as a flag, generals died in the war, and everyone was at the point of risking everything. Finally, when the city wall collapsed, reinforcements arrived.

The experience and composition of this support army were too complicated to describe in a few words. It was led by Southwest Admiral Shen Yi, and General Zhong, who had retired for many years, came out to support him. There was also a small group of Jiangnan navy mixed in - they were the remnants that Yao Zhen collected after the defeat in the East China Sea.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Western Army was forced to withdraw.

Nearly 40% of the court officials were buried under the collapsed city wall. Li Feng's Red Headed Kite was completely out of control. Shen Yi had no eagle in his hand, so he had to use Baihong to shoot the steel cable onto the railing with sweat all over his forehead. Dozens of heavy armored vehicles were dispatched, and it was not until midnight that they finally lowered Emperor Long'an who was hanging in the air.

Almost all the soldiers of Beidaying, including its commander, died in this battle.

Gu Yun was dug out from under a Western chariot. He had several broken ribs. At first, almost no one dared to touch him because he would bleed if touched.

Finally, General Zhong came to take a look in person and said, "It's not that easy for him to die. I'll compensate him if he dies." Then he sent several military doctors to fix him on a wooden frame and carry him away.

Several thousand-year-old ginseng roots were collected from the entire palace, which kept him alive for three days on and off. He almost died several times, and finally waited for Chen Qingxu to come back from the mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall.

She ran several horses to death and stayed awake all night after arriving in Beijing. Finally, she managed to snatch back the title of Marquis of Anding from the King of Hell.

It was dusk when Gu Yun woke up for the first time. He could only vaguely feel a little light coming through the window frame through his eyelids, but before he had the strength to open his eyes, severe pain came over him.

Although he was not dead, Gu Yun was not very happy. He was secretly shocked. Has the capital fallen? Where is he now?

He struggled violently in a daze and someone grabbed his hand.

The man leaned close to his ear, as if he knew what he was worried about, and said, "Reinforcements are here, it's okay... The capital is fine."

The familiar smell of tranquilizer powder enveloped him, and Gu Yun's consciousness only lasted for a moment before he fell into coma again.

After being in a coma for several days, Gu Yun finally woke up. The effect of the medicine had worn off long ago, and he was blind and could neither hear nor see clearly.

Gu Yun blinked with some effort and saw a blurry figure beside the bed. He could tell by smell that it was Chang Geng.

His mind was in a mess, with a bunch of questions pouring into his head without any analysis: How many people were left in Beidaying? Where did the reinforcements come from? Whose troops were they? Where did the Western Army retreat to? How was the Emperor?

Chang Geng carefully dipped a little water and fed it to him. Gu Yun instinctively raised his hand to feel around, but he didn't know which wound was hurt and he felt so much pain that his eyes went dark.

"Alright, alright," Chang Geng whispered in his ear, "General Shen is back, and Master is here to take care of us. Stop worrying and take a break."

Gu Yun: “…”

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and felt pain in his internal organs.

In the past, Marquis Anding loved to feel sorry for himself with Shen Yi, muttering that no one in the Gu family within three generations would live long. He always felt that he was "a beautiful woman with a short life" because of his "sorrowful and sickly body". He never expected that this person's life was not only not short, but also very strong, and he did not die.

Gu Yun opened his mouth and wanted to call out "Chang Geng", but he was in a coma for several days after being seriously injured and no sound came out.

Suddenly, his face was touched by something, and Gu Yun felt a hand holding up his chin, and the fingertips with thin calluses gently brushed across his lips, which was indescribably ambiguous and tender.

Chang Geng was sitting on the bedside. If Gu Yun could see clearly at this moment, he would find that Chang Geng was only hastily wearing half a piece of clothing, his hair was disheveled, and his shoulders, neck, arms, and even his head were all pierced with needles. He looked like a gentle hedgehog. He sat stiffly on the bedside like a wooden man, and it was very difficult for him to turn his head. All the expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on his face were blocked by the needles. He could not cry or laugh, so he had to maintain an expressionless state, acting like a handsome big puppet.

Despite this, the red marks in his eyes still remained.

Over the past few days, Chang Geng's urinary incontinence had flared up several times, and Chen Qingxu had no choice but to use acupuncture to seal the poison and turn him into a scarecrow.

The Scarecrow whispered in his half-deaf voice, "If this happens again, I'll go crazy, Zixi."

Gu Yun: “…”

Although he didn't hear what Chang Geng said, the touch on his lips reminded him of the bad thing on the city wall. For a moment, Gu Yun wanted to wail - who would have thought that he would have to live to face this!

So just like that, Marshal Gu became stiff from the neck down and became a human stick standing upright.
