When the empress heard this, her face was filled with joy.
Calculating the time, Concubine Qi has been pregnant for more than nine months.
In another twenty days, it will be the tenth month of pregnancy, and it is also time to approach the first month.
The empress immediately asked Bai Xue to personally take various supplements from the palace to Qiu Shan Academy.
After Bai Xue left.
The empress stood up, looked at Lu Ning and said, "Let's go, accompany me to the Confucius Courtyard."
Lu Ning's eyes brightened slightly, and she thought that she was my good empress.
Lu Ning walked out of the main hall and ordered Fang Xuewu and Su Liuqi to escort him.
After a while, the empress rode a dragon chariot out of the palace and headed towards the east gate of the city.
…
Confucius Courtyard.
Beside a green mountain and a green lake, a white-haired middle-aged man held a book in his hand. The book read: The Lu Family's Art of War.
This is of course not the original version. It was written by Zhuge Xiangru, the sage of war, who copied Lu Qing's art of war, re-bound it into a book on the art of war, and studied it every day.
Behind Bing Sheng, there followed a girl in Tsing Yi, it was Lu Qing.
Although she holds the classics on the art of war, she cannot understand many of the contents, let alone be as powerful as her master.
"Therefore, those who are good at using military force will subjugate the enemy's army instead of fighting, conquer the enemy's city instead of attacking it, destroy the enemy's country instead of lasting for a long time, and they will fight for the whole world."
"How wonderful!"
Zhuge Xiangru read this Art of War countless times. Every time he read it, he would marvel at it and understand the essence of it.
"Master, I can understand now. As a commander, when leading troops to fight, we must use the shortest time and the most effective way to attack the city to minimize losses, make the enemy surrender, and destroy the city and take over the country.
It all depends on resourcefulness.”
Lu Qing followed behind and said with a smile.
Zhuge Xiangru looked back at Lu Qing and said: "You are much better than your two senior brothers, that is indeed what I mean. However, on the battlefield, changes occur without reason. Although the art of war is hard to remember, you must learn to use it flexibly."
"Don't apply it mechanically, otherwise you will lose the battle."
Lu Qing nodded with a smile and said: "Master, I have memorized twelve books on the art of war in total. I also know all of the art of war by heart for my Lu family, but...!"
Zhuge Xiangru shook his head and said: "It's just when did you reach the level of being a master?"
"Hehe, Master is so awesome. You knew it before I even said it."
Zhuge Xiangru shook his head helplessly, this flattery was really not clever.
"If you want to reach the state of being a master, it has nothing to do with how many books on the art of war you read. It must be an improvement in your state of mind before your cultivation can be manifested."
"Now that the war in the imperial dynasty has begun, the battlefield is the best way to temper a soldier's mentality. Tomorrow morning, I will send you to the battlefield."
"Very good!"
When Lu Qing heard this, his face turned red with excitement.
Zhuge Xiangru said: "Don't be too happy. Since we are on the battlefield, there must be danger."
"As a soldier and counselor, even if someone protects you, your defeat will be like a mountain."
"At that moment, everyone ran for their lives, and there were not many people who could protect you, so you have to learn to protect yourself."
"ah!"
When Lu Qing heard this, his red face immediately turned pale.
Zhuge Xiangru smiled and said: "Let's talk about it tomorrow and continue reading."
Lu Qing nodded: "It's Master."
Zhengtian Peak.
The top floor of the library.
Su Zhengzheng happily accompanied the empress to sit at the tea table and drink tea. Lu Ning also sat beside him.
"Boy Lu, I really hope for the stars and the moon to bring you here."
"Old man Su, it's not that exaggerated."
"You kid, I want to treat you to a cup of tea. It's really difficult to do so."
"Haha, the road is like the blue sky. It is very difficult to climb. Even if you invite me to tea, I can't help you."
Lu Ning chuckled.
Hearing this, Su Zhengzheng's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter. If you can come and talk to me, I will suddenly become enlightened!"
As he spoke, he looked at the empress and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, drink tea. This year's new tea, Jade Guanyin from Qingzhou, is very fragrant."
The empress smiled and nodded, picked up the purple clay cup and took a sip. It was very fragrant and soothing to the throat.
After a cup of tea, the greetings are over.
Su Zhengjing lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, if anything happens, just ask."
The empress smiled and said: "Dean Su, I came here this time because I want to meet Senior Soldier Saint."
Su Zhengzheng seemed to have guessed it a long time ago. There was no surprise on his face. He nodded calmly and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment."
Su Zhengzheng sat still, adding a cup of tea to the empress and a cup to Lu Ning.
While adding tea to himself, he smiled and said: "The empress came at the right time. Zhuge is also looking for you and will be here in a moment."
The empress' face showed joy when she heard this, and she looked at Lu Ning.
Before I had a cup of tea, a cool breeze blew from the window.
When the empress raised her eyebrows and looked up, she saw two more figures in the tea room on the top floor, one with white hair and one with white clothes, and the other with a young girl in blue.
It was Zhuge Xiangru and Lu Qing.
"Second brother?"
When Lu Qing saw Lu Ning was there, his beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up.
Lu Ning smiled and was about to speak when Zhuge Xiangru spoke first: "Qing'er, go and see the empress."
Lu Qing nodded, stared at the peerless-looking empress, and stepped forward to salute.
Zhuge Xiangru stared at Lu Ning: "Are you Lu Changan?"
Lu Ning stood up and said with a smile: "This junior has met the senior Soldier Saint."
Zhuge Xiangru nodded and looked Lu Ning up and down: "He is indeed an extraordinary young man."
Then he walked to the tea table and sat down slowly.
A cup of tea floated automatically to the Soldier Saint without anyone moving. He stretched out his hand to hold it and took a sip.
The empress did not blame the Soldier Saint for being rude, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"I have three disciples, the eldest disciple Jiang Chengzi, the second disciple Hu Feihu, and the third disciple Lu Qing. They all have inherited my inheritance. I wonder which one the empress wants to use?"
The empress smiled and said: "I like this Miss Lu, so maybe it's her."
The Soldier Saint nodded: "The Empress has really good vision. Although Qing'er has been practicing military strategy with me for a short period of time, she has made rapid progress and will be of great use."
Lu Ning's eyebrows sank slightly. He wanted to invite the other disciples of the Soldier Saint, but he didn't want to invite his sister to the battlefield.
Besides, with my little sister’s ability, is it possible to go to the battlefield?
Just as he was about to speak, the empress said: "Fengwu Mountain in Yezhou is in need of military advisors like Miss Lu Qing. I wonder if you are willing to go?"
Lu Qing did not answer immediately, but looked at the Soldier Saint.
Seeing the Soldier Saint nodding, she said happily: "Your Majesty, Lu Qing is willing to go."
The empress nodded with a smile and said: "Very good, I will now appoint you as Zhennan's Great Military Advisor and go to Yezhou to help in the battle tomorrow."
Lu Qing looked at his second brother Lu Ning with excitement and said with a smile: "Lu Qing takes the order."
Lu Ning frowned and said nothing.
The soldier sage Zhuge Xiangru dared to let his sister go, which shows that her sister has some abilities. At the same time, Zhuge Xiangru should also help secretly. If he didn't go himself, he would let his first disciple and second disciple protect him secretly.
Thinking of this, Lu Ning didn't feel too worried.
At this time, the empress smiled and asked: "I have decided that from this autumn, women can also take part in the scientific examination."
Hearing this, Su Zhengjing and Zhuge Xiangru were both stunned.
Lu Qing was also stunned for a moment, and then became excited.
Su Zhengzheng said: "Your Majesty, are you kidding?"
The empress smiled and said: "I keep my promise."
"Bai Wei, let Zhang Juming draft the edict immediately, and it will be promulgated to the world tomorrow. In the autumn of this year, women can also take the imperial examination and become officials."
"It's your Majesty!"
Bai Wei took the order and went.
Bingsheng and Su Zhengjing were a little surprised. As this edict was promulgated, at least half of the people in the Zhou Dynasty strongly supported the empress.
That is woman.
And many times, men are held in the hands of women.
In this way, the empress' world becomes more stable.
Thinking about it, Su Zhengzheng couldn't help but look at Lu Ning. Lu Ning remained calm and drank tea slowly.
The empress's decision to allow women to take the imperial examination and become officials was not a temporary idea.
But on the way here, Lu Ning paid attention to her, otherwise the empress would not have thought of this trick to attract the hearts of the world.
At first, the empress did think it was a good way to win over the world, but when she saw Lu Qing, she suddenly understood.
Lu Ning is paving the way for his sister!
So she said it directly.
"Haha, wonderful, so wonderful."
Suddenly the Soldier Saint also laughed. He didn't say anything clever, but Su Zhengjing, Lu Ning, and the Empress all knew it.
"Qing'er, practice well on the battlefield. Autumn will come this year and you will participate in the autumn war."
"It's Master."
Lu Qing nodded excitedly.
…
May 22nd.
Experience: 66 million points.
After Lu Ning took a look at it, he immediately added some points to Jin Leifu.
Buzz!
Zizzi...!
At the same time as the golden light flourished, golden thunder and lightning wrapped around the whole body.
Lu Ning's aura grew again, and the real power in Qihai Dantian also became abundant.
Not only that, the physical power has also moved towards the power of four million and all things.
Cultivation Technique: First Grade Golden Lei Buddha (Ascending the Hall, 0/80 million points)
Remaining experience: 16 million points.
If you want to upgrade "Golden Leifer" to the Hearthfire Realm, you still need five days of experience.
Lu Ning felt a little anxious, but not too anxious.
In the morning.
Zhang Juming and others were almost shocked and their jaws dropped because of the news about women entering official positions through the imperial examination.
If a woman enters the court and becomes an official, she will not be able to hold up half of the sky.
"It's simply ridiculous. I can ascend the throne as emperor, why can't women join the court as officials?"
"Why is it that only men can study and talk about the world, while women can only hide at home and have children, knowing nothing about the world?"
"Who can tell me who made these rules?"
In the court hall, the civil and military officials were speechless. Naturally, no one made any regulations.
Because there has never been a female emperor in history who ascended the throne, there is no precedent for a woman to serve as an official.
However, women serving as officials were common in the countries of the Western Regions, but did not exist in the Zhou Dynasty.
"I have made up my mind, Zhang Aiqing, follow my will." The empress said with a deep eyebrow.
Zhang Juming pondered for a moment, nodded secretly and said: "Wei Chen takes orders."
Morning ends.
The news that women could take the scientific examination and become officials spread like wildfire in Beijing and Zhou Dynasty. Men were naturally unhappy when they heard it, but women were very happy to hear it.
In particular, families such as dignitaries, aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, etc. began to put their minds on their daughters.
Originally they thought that the empress ruled the world and their daughter would not be able to enter the palace, but they did not expect the opportunity to come.
A woman could not enter the palace as a concubine, but she could enter the court as an official.
…
Turn back time.
May 19th was the day when Pei and his coffin entered the capital.
The heavy rain had long since passed, and Tu Chenglong reorganized his troops.
In that night's battle, the Silver Armored Army lost more than 30,000 people, and the Black Dragon Cavalry lost nearly 30,000 people.
Countless people were injured.
After three days of repairs, Wei Guangding's Silver Armor Army still had 180,000 men capable of fighting.
There are less than 190,000 silver-armored troops under Le Yue's command capable of fighting.
The Black Dragon Riders were originally able to fight at 400,000 people, and the remaining 100,000 fought for a while, and were responsible for logistics work, such as cooking, transporting food and grass, cleaning up the battlefield, etc.
Twenty-eight thousand people were lost in one battle.
Today there are less than 370,000 people.
Under Luotian City.
King Yongshan was sitting on the chariot, and Tu Chenglong personally led an army of 370,000 black dragons.
At the south gate of Luotian City is the Silver Armor Army led by Wei Guangding, and at the north gate is the Silver Armor Army led by Le Yue.
Tu Chenglong planned to attack the city with all his strength, leaving only the east gate for Gu Fengtang to escape.
It must be said that being surrounded on three sides was very stressful for Gu Fengtang.
Because Tu Chenglong's battle was about strength.
Now there is plenty of food and grass in the city, but there are only 75,000 Flying Dragon Riders left, and the Black Tiger Riders are slightly better, with only 80,000 people left.
There are only 10,000 cavalry left under Zhang Sheng's command, including the original cavalry in Luotian City.
It is conceivable that Zhang Sheng's 30,000 cavalrymen have lost more than 20,000 people.
Infantrymen suffered more casualties, so detailed statistics are not available.
All in all, there are only 230,000 soldiers capable of fighting in the city.
The number of dead and injured totaled hundreds of thousands.
All the elixirs and medicinal materials in the city have been purchased.
Nowadays, there are 230,000 people, facing Tu Chenglong's 700,000 fighting army, even if Gu Fengtang is very capable, he is still unable to do what he wants.
Especially in the previous battle, I knew the strength of the Black Dragon Riders.
Gu Fengtang was even less confident.
I had never noticed the Black Dragon Rider's sitting mount before. In the past three days, a Black Dragon Horse was dragged back from the battlefield.
After careful inspection, I found out that the Black Dragon Horse was mixed with the blood of the Black Leopard King of the Southern Xinjiang Monster Clan. In other words, it was a cross-breed, similar to the Dragon Horse.
But in terms of endurance, defense, and speed, it is twice as strong as the dragon colt.
The main point is that the black dragon horse can bite, which is too much.
Gu Fengtang sat on the tower, thinking about countermeasures.
Let the Black Tiger Cavalry, which has a stronger bite ability, fight against the Black Dragon Cavalry.
The Flying Dragon Riders fight against the Silver Armored Army.
But now there are only more than 70,000 Flying Dragon Riders, divided into two teams, one team fights the north and south, and the other team fights the north gate.
"No, although the Flying Dragon Riders are fierce, their number is too small."
"The Silver Armor Army has many cavalry and few infantry. It was once the main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although it is not as good as the Flying Dragon Cavalry, it cannot be underestimated."
For a moment, Gu Fengtang frowned.
At this moment, Mao Junchen rushed into the tower with an extremely ugly face and shouted: "Gu Shuai, it's bad, Tu Chenglong has prepared a lot of bronze mirrors."
Ding!
Hearing this, Gu Fengtang's face turned extremely ugly.
The sun is scorching today, and it is noon again. The reflection from the bronze mirror naturally shines on the people on the city wall, making it difficult to open their eyes.
"Gu Fengtang, I have given you three days to think about it. How do you think about it?"
Outside the west gate of Luotian City, Tu Chenglong rode a five-meter black panther back and forth.
Gu Fengtang strode out of the city tower and came to the city wall, staring at Tu Chenglong a hundred feet away.
"Haha, Gu Fengtang, Luotian City is surrounded on three sides. With the flying dragon cavalry, black tiger cavalry and a few weak infantry in the city, how long can it withstand it?"
"Listen to my commander, surrender Luotian City, and invite King Yongshan to enter the city. I will not harm anyone in the city."
"But if you are stubborn and stick to this city, don't blame me for being cruel. In a moment, Luotian City can be turned into a big fire pit."
Looking at Tu Chenglong who looked slightly arrogant, Gu Fengtang clenched his fists and frowned in silence.
Immediately his eyes moved back and landed on King Yongshan's chariot. Behind King Yongshan, he saw a man wearing dark blue brocade sitting upright.
It is Lei Tianchui.
"Thunder, sky, drop!"
Gu Fengtang clenched his fist fiercely and used the thunder clap, which is the secret skill that Master Tianlei became famous for.
Lei Tianchui is a disciple of Venerable Tianlei. He has perfected the third level of cultivation. He has mastered the thunder clapping to the point of perfection, and he is just able to participate in the war.
Pei Tong, who is in the middle stage of third-grade cultivation, would definitely be in trouble if he faced Lei Tianchui alone.
Lei Tianchui, who was sitting behind King Yongshan, sneered and slowly closed his eyes.
"Gu Fengtang, how do you break my commander's golden light and bronze mirror array?"
Outside the city wall, Tu Chenglong saw Gu Fengtang not saying a word, so he once again raised his voice to provoke.
Gu Fengtang frowned, and there were rows of golden bronze mirrors placed on three sides of Luotian City. Under the scorching sun, the golden light shone on the city wall, making it dazzling and hard to open your eyes.
Observing with spiritual consciousness, it is also golden.
To break this formation, of course the bronze mirror must be shattered.
But it is very difficult to break so many bronze mirrors at once.
Gu Fengtang calculated the height of the city wall, which was thirty feet high.
A warrior in the Hanging Realm can hang twenty feet in the air, and a fourth-level warrior can easily jump onto the city wall.
Not to mention the third-level powerhouse.
But among the large army, there are only a few generals who are above the third level. Most of the soldiers are below the fifth level. If they want to climb the city wall, they have to borrow strength.
Tu Chenglong used the Golden Light Bronze Mirror Formation just to let the Black Dragon Riders and Silver Armored Army attack the city forcefully.
Gu Fengtang pondered for a moment and said, "Mao Junchen."
"The end will be here."
"You lead 20,000 flying dragon cavalry, and follow the black tiger cavalry general Chen Kai to lead 35,000 black tiger cavalry to guard the north gate."
"It's Gu Shuai."
Mao Junchen nodded and glanced at the black tiger cavalry warrior Chen Kai. The latter had reached the fourth level of perfect cultivation.
After a while, the two of them left together.
"Luo Xunfei."
"The end will be here."
"You lead 20,000 flying dragon cavalry, follow the black tiger cavalry general Teng Zijing, and lead 35,000 black tiger cavalry to guard the south gate."
"It's Gu Shuai."
After Luo Xunfei glanced at Teng Zijing, the two quickly left.
Hua Rong of the Black Tiger Cavalry died in battle, Pei Feng has not returned yet, and there is currently no third-grade expert in charge.
Gu Fengtang could only ask Mao Junchen and Luo Xunfei, who were in the early stage of the third rank, to go over to help in the battle. He personally led 5,000 black tiger cavalry, 40,000 flying dragon cavalry, and 10,000 cavalry commanded by Zhang Sheng.
"Send the order, and prepare long-range fireballs at each city gate. If the opponent starts to attack the city, fireballs will be fired first."
He didn't think of a better way to break through the golden light and bronze mirror formation, so he could only use fireballs to block it for a while.
Zhang Sheng suggested: "Gu Shuai, if you don't pour oil on the city wall, the enemy troops will naturally not be able to come up."
Gu Fengtang shook his head: "Playing with fire and burning yourself. The enemy can't come up, but our army can't stand on the city wall either."
Zhang Sheng sighed and murmured, "It would be nice if it was cloudy."
The sky is cloudy and the clouds naturally block the sunlight, so the golden light and bronze mirror array loses its effect.
However, the listener was interested, Gu Fengtang's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "Pass this command to the commander, light a large amount of wolf tobacco in all directions in the city, speed."
When Zhang Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly passed on the order.
When wolf tobacco is lit, the smoke is thick and can float high in the sky and linger for a long time.
Although you can't control the wind and clouds, you can light wolf tobacco to block the sun.
Gu Fengtang quickly came to the city wall, talked to Tu Chenglong, and began to delay Tu Chenglong's time.
At first, Tu Chenglong didn't realize the problem. After a cup of tea, he smelled a hint of delay: "Gu Fengtang, you actually delayed me...?"
Just as he was talking, Tu Chenglong noticed thick black smoke rising from the four corners of Luotian City, and for a moment his heart skipped a beat: Gu Fengtang, how could you even think of lighting up wolf tobacco to break my golden light and bronze mirror array?
"attack!"
Tu Chenglong didn't dare to hesitate, he immediately shouted.
While the smoke of wolf tobacco has not risen yet and the impact is not too great, attack the city quickly.
The golden light and bronze mirrors shine brightly on the city wall, dazzling the eyes.
Even Gu Fengtang couldn't bear it. It wasn't that the golden light was so powerful. The point was that it was so dazzling that people couldn't see clearly.
Suddenly, the black dragon cavalry roared towards the city wall.
Gu Fengtang shouted: "Fireball, throw it."
As he shouted, rows of fireballs were fired out from the three city gates, exploding when they encountered objects.
The fireball is filled with gunpowder and has a strong deterrent effect.
When Tu Chenglong saw Gu Fengtang shooting fireballs, he couldn't help laughing: "Gu Fengtang, shooting fireballs, this is your last ability, right?"
"I would like to see how many fireballs there are in Luotian City?"
"Hmph, there are a lot of fireballs." Gu Fengtang snorted coldly.
Tu Chenglong sat on the Black Panther and watched the Black Dragon Cavalry attack the city. At the same time, the Black Dragon Cavalry mechanical soldiers set up a ladder, raised the platform, and even launched a fireball launching platform, aiming at the west gate of Luo City.
"cast!"
Following the commander's order, the Black Dragon Riders' fireball launching pad also began to release fireballs, blasting towards the walls of Luotian City.
Gu Fengtang led 5,000 Black Tiger Cavalry and 40,000 Flying Dragon Cavalry, and said in a deep voice: "You only need to charge and kill, go out from the west gate and fight to the north gate. There is no need to fight, do you understand?"
"It's Gu Shuai."
Creak, the west gate of the city opens.
Gu Fengtang personally entered the battle, and rode out of the city to kill Tu Chenglong.
"Haha, good time!"
Tu Chenglong laughed loudly. His strength was second to that of Gu Fengtang, and he had always wanted to compete with Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang held a black spear in his hand, and fired out the spear. Black-red flames rolled and turned into a huge gun shadow.
Tu Chenglong, who was sitting on the black panther, clenched his hands into fists, fell down nine times in a row, and rows of fist shadows shot out instantly.
"Nine levels of mountain-shaking fist."
boom!
The air wave of the fist shadow was like a tidal wave, sweeping past Gu Fengtang who was rising into the sky.
Tu Chenglong also jumped up, pushing the shadow of his fist to fight fiercely with Gu Fengtang.
"break!"
One shot penetrated the overwhelming fist shadows, but the black and red flame gun shadow above the spear also disappeared.
Tu Chenglong rushed to Gu Fengtang, shook the black spear away, and blasted it towards Gu Fengtang's chest.
Gu Fengtang raised his hand and struck Tu Chenglong with a palm strike. His body flew back and landed on the dragon colt. He did not hesitate to fight and headed towards the north.
He is extremely fast, holds a spear in his hand, and kills people all the way, drawing blood all the way.
Five thousand Black Tiger Riders and 40,000 Flying Dragon Riders were like sharp swords, moving through the Black Dragon Riders, scattering them in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Sheng stood on the city wall and asked the archers to release arrows and crossbows.
"Gu Fengtang!"
Tu Chenglong roared angrily.
He didn't expect that Gu Fengtang was not a fan of fighting at all, and immediately led his army to the north gate.
"Bantuo, with 50,000 black dragon riders, quickly supports the north gate."
"It's the marshal."
Ban Tuo received the order and led 50,000 black dragon cavalry towards the north gate, chasing Gu Fengtang's men and horses.
However, Le Yue was fighting with Mao Junchen at the north gate, and the Silver Armor Army was also attacking the city.
Suddenly a fast horse came galloping from a distance.
"Gu Fengtang?"
Le Li turned pale when she saw him, and immediately abandoned Mao Junchen and ran away.
While running away, he shouted: "Silver Armor Army, withdraw."
At this moment, 40,000 flying dragon cavalry and 5,000 black tiger cavalry rushed in. The number was not large, but the fierce charge instantly caused the silver-armored army to be in chaos.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Le Li's face was extremely ugly, and he roared on his silver horse.
puff!
Arrows came in an instant, piercing through Le Oak's body-protecting Qi, and shot into his shoulder.
Le Yue let out a scream and was almost knocked off his horse by the force of the impact. He pulled the arrow out of his shoulder and threw it towards the incoming Gu Fengtang.
Immediately he pulled the silver horse around and ran away.
boom!
Gu Fengtang shattered the flying arrow with one shot. Looking at Le Yue's retreating back, he did not chase him, but instead fought with the silver-armored soldiers around him.
"Back to the city!"
Seeing Bantuo coming to the rescue with 50,000 black dragon riders, Gu Fengtang immediately led his army back to the city and guarded the west gate.
At the same time, let Mao Junchen take 35,000 flying dragon riders to support the south gate.
In addition, at this moment, black fog was billowing over Luotian City, blocking the sun's rays.
Tu Chenglong's golden light and bronze mirror array was instantly destroyed.
The aggrieved soldiers on the city wall suddenly became brave.
Tu Chenglong angrily rode the black panther and rushed up to the city wall. Gu Fengtang happened to rush back and fought with Tu Chenglong on the city wall.
"So what if I break my handsome golden light and bronze mirror formation?"
"Today, I will fight you to the bitter end. Army, come for me."
"Open the west gate."
Tu Chenglong was fighting with Gu Fengtang while issuing military orders.
The 250,000 black dragon riders organized their troops and continued to attack the city.
Gu Fengtang looked ugly. If Tu Chenglong fought to the death with him, Luotian City would be lost today.
Once King Yongshan is allowed to occupy Luotian City, it is equivalent to occupying a base in Yunzhou. Using Luotian City as a base and extending to Kyushu, it will be difficult to drive King Yongshan out of Luotian City.
Gu Fengtang gritted his teeth. For a moment, he wanted to order a fight to the death and defend Luotian City, waiting for the arrival of the new marshal.
But he couldn't just watch his subordinates Flying Dragon Cavalry and Black Tiger Cavalry lose their lives in this city.
If both die in battle, even if a new marshal arrives, there will be no chance of a comeback.
The army cannot die in battle, but he, Gu Fengtang, defends Luotian City without retreating a step.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a black shadow appeared at such a fast speed that even thousands of arrows could not stop it. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at Luotian City. It was none other than Lei Tianchui.
"You dare to leave King Yongshan?"
Gu Fengtang's eyes brightened, but then darkened.
When Lei Tianchui left King Yongshan at this moment, he also calculated that no one in his army could attack and kill King Yongshan, so he left with peace of mind.
"Gu Fengtang, be a good demon-suppressing master, you shouldn't do it."
"If you insist on commanding the three armies, this Luotian City will be your burial place today."
Lei Tianchui spoke quickly, his voice fell, and he and Tu Chenglong joined forces to kill Gu Fengtang. The thunder clap was launched instantly, thunder and lightning crackled, and the surrounding soldiers did not dare to rush forward.
Zhang Sheng roared angrily and stabbed Lei Tianchui's back with his spear, but his right arm was broken off by Lei Tianchui's palm.
"Ahhh...!"
Zhang Sheng screamed and held the bloody severed arm, and retreated ten feet in a row, his face extremely pale.
After Lei Tianchui broke Zhang Sheng's arm, he didn't even look at the latter and turned around to kill Gu Fengtang again.
If you kill the commanders of the three armies, the Flying Dragon Cavalry and the Black Tiger Cavalry will be in chaos.
Luotian City also fell.
King Yongshan was sitting on the chariot, with a victorious smile in his eyes.
"Eldest niece, eldest niece, once Gu Fengtang is defeated, who else can you send?"
"Lu Ning? Or Zhang Juming? Or Shi Rui?"
"Are they generals?"
King Yongshan was well prepared, but he didn't expect that the imperial army would be so vulnerable, and Gu Fengtang was no match for Tu Chenglong.
Of course, King Yongshan also knew that there was also a major disparity in military strength.
Pei Tong died, and Gu Fengtang was left alone.
"In the end, I will be the king of this world!"
At this moment, a fast rider quickly arrived in front of King Yongshan: "Your Majesty, this is a reply from King Anshan."
King Yongshan took the letter, quickly opened it, took a look, and crushed the letter into pieces angrily: "Idiot, do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"
Before the army set off, King Yongshan sent a letter to King Anshan, asking King Anshan to raise troops from Anzhou and fight all the way to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
Let the imperial army be attacked from both sides.
However, King Anshan wrote back saying that Anzhou had insufficient troops and could not raise troops for the time being. He promised that one month later, he would personally lead 100,000 cavalry to attack Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
Ma De, after one month, will this king still need your help, King Anshan?
Of course, King Yongshan knew what King Anshan was thinking and wanted to watch the battle. If he could fight to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, King Anshan would definitely send out 100,000 cavalry to assist in the battle.
If he can't even defeat Luotian City, it will be even more difficult for him to defeat Zhuxian City. If he can't pass Zhuxian City, he won't be able to reach Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
If we cannot conquer Beijing and Zhou, King Yongshan will not be able to sit on the throne, and everything will be empty talk.
King Ansan's cavalry helped King Yongsan, but the empress was very dissatisfied.
Therefore, King Ansan could only give in and decide whether to send troops to help based on King Yongsan's battle situation.
"Send the order and capture Luotian City at all costs today." King Yongshan shouted in a deep voice.
Without the help of King Anshan, King Yongshan could still attack Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
"King Yongshan ordered us to capture Luotian City at all costs today."
A fast rider shouted on three sides of Luotian City, and the Silver Armored Army and Black Dragon Rider soldiers attacked the city even more fiercely.
In less than half a stick of incense time, the north gate of the city was breached. The Silver Armored Army and 50,000 Black Dragon Riders drove straight in. When they saw the Flying Dragon Riders, the Black Tiger Riders began to charge and kill them.
All the civilians in the city were hiding in their homes, and no one was roaming the streets.
"Gu Shuai, the north gate has been lost!"
Mao Junchen, covered in blood, rushed to the west gate and shouted.
Gu Fengtang was fighting against Lei Tianchui and Tu Chenglong. He was already at a disadvantage. When he heard this shout, he was slightly stunned.
Poof!
A thunderclap struck fiercely, breaking Gu Fengtang's left arm like a tornado, and blood spurted out.
"Gu Shuai!"
Mao Junchen roared angrily, soared into the sky from the dragon colt, and punched Lei Tianchui.
Lei Tianchui didn't care at all about his early third-grade cultivation.
After receiving Mao Junchen's punch with a wave of his hand, he slapped his hand violently, causing Mao Junchen to vomit blood from his mouth.
Gu Fengtang took the opportunity to grab his broken left arm with his right hand, appeared in front of Mao Junchen and shouted: "Take the Feilongqi and withdraw from the east gate, go, go quickly!"
As he spoke, Gu Fengtang knocked Mao Junchen away.
"Gu Shuai!"
Mao Junchen flew upside down and shouted, with a look of pain on his face.
"Walk!"
Gu Fengtang didn't say anything and rushed towards Lei Tianchui and Tu Chenglong.
He had already made up his mind to let all the Flying Dragon Cavalry and Black Tiger Cavalry retreat, and he would defend Luotian City alone.
At this moment, he did not beg to live, because he would have no shame in returning to Beijing.
Fighting to Luotian City is his best choice and destination.
"Black Tiger Cavalry generals Teng Zijing and Chen Kai obeyed the order and took the remaining Black Tiger Cavalry with them, quickly exiting Luotian City and heading towards Yunzhou City along with the Flying Dragon Cavalry."
"Zhang Sheng also left Luotian City with his cavalry and infantry."
"Gu Shuai!"
Zhang Sheng broke his arm and was still fighting bloody battles.
Hearing Gu Fengtang's order, he laughed miserably and said: "Let the general accompany Gu Shuai to defend this city."
