Fu Baoguo stood unmoving amidst the rain of arrows.
His eyes were calm and sharp as he paid close attention to the movements of Dongxuan's troops, constantly giving orders and commanding the troops.
This was the most crucial moment!
The countless personal guards around him raised their swords and shields, doing their best to resist the arrows that were like a tide. From time to time, the personal guards would let out muffled groans. That was because they did not dare to cry out in pain for fear of lowering their own morale. As long as the people who were hit by the arrows were fine, they would immediately retreat. They all knew that even if they were to die, they could not die here. If they died here, it would only cause trouble for their comrades who were fighting bravely!
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, forty to fifty personal guards had died in battle. However, even at the moment of death, no one made a sound.
Fu Baoguo stood there for a long time, unmoving. He was still issuing orders in an orderly manner, without the slightest bit of chaos!
It was as if he didn't see the rain of arrows!
He could not move!
Yutang's warriors' exhaustion and even their morale had reached its limit.
Standing here was the last resort he could use!
Yutang's marshal was still here, sharing life and death with everyone!
This was the final source of morale.
Once Fu Baoguo made a move, the morale would plummet and crumble!
Fu Baoguo understood this very well and had long since realized it.
"Even if I'm turned into a hedgehog today! But I still have to stand here and hold on until the very last moment! "
The guards desperately blocked the heavy Deicide Bows, many of them crying, "Marshal, let's retreat … our brothers can't hold on any longer …"
Fu Baoguo had a total of a thousand janissaries. Five hundred of them had died in the continuous battle. Today, there were a total of a hundred and sixty people who had come with Fu Baoguo, but now, there were less than fifty of them who were still fighting, doing their best to protect Fu Baoguo!
The remaining one hundred and ten people had already turned into human-shaped hedgehogs that were pierced with countless Deicide bows and arrows!
As Fu Baoguo's personal guards, each of them had long been prepared to die protecting Marshal Fu. However, it was one thing to be prepared, but they also had an understanding of the current crisis. They could sacrifice themselves for Fu Baoguo without hesitation, but they were unwilling to see Fu Baoguo die. However, the current situation was an unstoppable death; only by avoiding it would they have a chance of survival. However, Fu Baoguo did not move. The only outcome would be all of them dying under the rain of arrows. Even if all the personal guards died here, it would not change the outcome!
"If the Fortress of Resilience falls today, I, Fu Baoguo, shall die for my country! I've made a promise to live and die with the Fortress of Resilience. Today is the day I, Fu Baoguo, fulfill my promise! "
Fu Baoguo shouted loudly, "If the Fortress of Resilience is defended today, I, Fu Baoguo, will still be here!"
The sound was deafening, and it could actually be heard clearly on the battlefield.
"Today, today, at this very moment, I, Fu Baoguo, am the Fortress of Resilience!"
…
The enemy's drums boomed as Han Sanhe ordered coldly, "Send another hundred thousand reinforcements and attack with all you've got. Take down the Fortress of Resilience!"
Dongxuan's formation was activated once more. Countless soldiers surged towards the Fortress of Resilience like a tidal wave as a deafening roar resounded, "Take down the Fortress of Resilience! Take down the Fortress of Resilience! Capture Fu Baoguo alive! "
The personal guards no longer tried to persuade Fu Baoguo, saving their breath to muster their remaining strength to deal with the rain of arrows.
Those who could become Fu Baoguo's personal guards were naturally his trusted aides, so they knew what Fu Baoguo was thinking. Since the marshal had the intention to die for his country, the few of them could only stay here and show their loyalty to the country!
The least they could do was to be a step ahead of the marshal. Before all of us perish, we must not let the marshal fall!
The enemy began to mobilize their formation again, charging faster and faster as they drew closer.
In the middle of the night, Han Sanhe had already sent a hundred thousand soldiers towards the Fortress of Resilience. The situation could no longer be described as shocking.
It was madness, extreme madness!
The hundred thousand soldiers did not include those who were still alive. In other words, there were a hundred thousand soldiers who had lost their lives at the Fortress of Resilience!
Now, another hundred thousand soldiers were sent to charge the enemy!
Sun Zihu had brought his western troop brothers, the most elite combat force of the western border, but they were already numb from the battle.
Watching the soldiers from both sides disappear in groups, the shock in their hearts had long surpassed the limits of what they could bear.
So, this was how the eastern troop fought!
So, this was the situation that Han Sanhe had to face!
So, the battle here was actually so bloody and cruel!
The so-called top general of the continent, the world's top fortress, and Yutang's top troop were all true to their reputations!
Respect rose in Sun Zihu's heart. "The eastern troop is called the top troop of Yutang. It lives up to its name indeed. We can never hope to match it in this lifetime!"
Looking at Fu Baoguo who was still standing tall and straight, Sun Zihu's heart was filled with respect. Fu Baoguo was indeed the top young man of Yutang's military!
"The eastern troop is a hero, but we, the western troop, are not cowards!" Sun Zihu slashed three of his enemies off the wall with a single slash of his saber, moving swiftly as he shouted, "Brothers, we will live and die with the Fortress of Resilience today. We won't let our brothers from the eastern troop have the upper hand!"
"We swear to live and die with the land of Yutang, to live and die together, to live and to perish together!"
Countless western soldiers roared in a frenzy, their emotions unprecedentedly agitated.
The battle was getting more and more intense, but it was progressing in an unfavorable direction. There was no reversal because of Fu Baoguo's disregard for his own safety as he stood under the rain of arrows and the western border's extreme outburst.
More and more Dongxuan soldiers popped their heads out from the top of the wall; many of them had already charged up to the top of the wall to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defending troops.
High up on the wall.
The leader of the janissaries swung his sword and shield with all his might, deflecting the incoming arrows, but Fu Baoguo was already pierced by two arrows.
In spite of this, he was still standing there, commanding with composure, without a hint of panic.
"Marshal …"
The leader of the janissaries let out a low grunt. His shoulder had been pierced by an arrow, but it was followed by a wail of grief.
The cry of the bodyguard leader was not for himself, but … "Marshal, I can't protect you anymore …"
Fu Baoguo extended his hand, his sword unsheathing from under his ribs. Maintaining his standing position, he waved his sword personally to block the arrows as he hollered, "Order! Thirty thousand Steel Cavalry to leave the fort and fight Dongxuan to the death! The rest of the Steel Cavalry and the Serving Troop, disperse and follow the original plan to build another Fortress of Resilience for Yutang's army! "
It was the final moment.
Fu Baoguo knew that he could not hold on any longer.
His own life was at stake, so he gave his last order immediately.
Even if I, Fu Baoguo, die here today, Han Sanhe, you'll have to pay with at least a hundred thousand lives if you want to enter the Fortress of Resilience!
…
Just as the order was given, a white silhouette suddenly appeared beside Fu Baoguo amidst the rain of arrows. Sword light flashed and sliced all the arrows that were shot at him in half.
Everyone who saw the exquisite swordsmanship gasped in awe, but the white silhouette's sword light did not stop there. It formed an indestructible barrier in front of Fu Baoguo with its majestic sword light.
All the Deicide arrows were broken in front of this net of light.
At the same time, a series of war drums rang out without warning.
Dong, dong, dong …
Countless Yutang soldiers charged up the fort like ferocious tigers, engaging the Dongxuan soldiers on top of the fort.
The Fortress of Resilience's perilous situation was abruptly alleviated.
A troop galloped over, led by a man with fluttering white hair and a fierce expression. As he charged forward, he hollered, "Fu Baoguo! Your father orders you! Come down now! "
Hearing the voice, Fu Baoguo's mind relaxed abruptly.
Old Marshal Qiu had arrived!
One of Yutang's strongest reinforcements had arrived. He had finally held out until Old Marshal Qiu arrived!
Countless cavalrymen charged out of the Fortress of Resilience like a tidal wave. They flowed endlessly like streams returning to their roots, their momentum unstoppable.
Qiu Jianhan's reinforcements had finally arrived!
They had arrived at the Fortress of Resilience's most critical moment!
Working with Fu Baoguo's Steel Cavalry, hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen charged out at the same time.
With just a charge, they had forced Han Sanhe's attacking troop back to where they stood, immobilizing them.
At this time, a deafening gong rang in Han Sanhe's camp.
Dongxuan's follow-up troops who were about to reach the top of the fort retreated like the tide, not lingering for a moment longer.
According to the original plan, Qiu Jianhan, who was supposed to be at least two hundred miles away from the Fortress of Resilience, had led his army and arrived abruptly like a divine army descending from the sky at the most critical moment of the Fortress of Resilience. He had stabilized the situation and reversed the hopeless situation of the Fortress of Resilience's inevitable fall.
Knowing that Qiu Jianhan had arrived and that the situation was hopeless, Han Sanhe, who was no longer able to attack, had ordered his troops to retreat at once.
However, when he gave the order, he sighed deeply.
Only a step away!
Only a step away!
At most, if Han Sanhe was given another hour, the Fortress of Resilience would be Dongxuan's!
By then, even if Qiu Jianhan were to come, it would be futile; it would be impossible to reverse the situation.
Why was it that at this delicate moment, the person who should not have appeared here suddenly appeared?!
Was God really blessing Yutang?
No matter what, it was meaningless to continue fighting today.
Dongxuan's troops had retreated.
The entire Fortress of Resilience cheered in unison.
Countless soldiers who were guarding the fort plopped to the ground as they cheered, unable to get up no matter what.
The deafening cheers rang through the top of the fort.
…
"Today is Hua Manlou's birthday, and it's our beauty Ling Piaoping's birthday too. Let us wish both of them a happy birthday!"
"I almost died of frustration today." "I quarreled with my wife the entire day."
"I slept last night and didn't log off my QQ. When I woke up this morning, my wife was hugging my phone and looking at me coldly. I was curious and asked what was wrong, but she insisted," You have a mistress! "
I was dumbfounded.
What?
The evidence was clear – two messages had been sent by the same person on QQ. "First, Feng Ling! I hate you! "
"Second, you made me cry the entire night!" "I'm getting sadder and sadder. How could you do this? "
"I wanted to cry, but I had no tears."
I tried to explain to my wife, "This is a touching story … My wife doesn't believe me." So I called her on QQ directly. Once the call was picked up, I was even more dumbfounded. "It's really a girl's voice."
What's more, the first sentence was, "Master Feng actually sent me a voice message … Feng Ling, I love you …"
"Sister, your love is killing me!"
Inexplicably, a song suddenly popped into my mind – "Andy Lau's, thank you for your love."
