Gu Yun missed a step from the Infinite Nightmare and fell headfirst into the depths of the darkness. The muscles all over his body suddenly tightened, and his whole body twitched violently. Then, he woke up in the darkness.
He woke up very quickly. The moment he opened his eyes, his soul returned to its original position. He remembered in detail where he was and what he had not done.
At this moment, someone suddenly pressed an ice-cold cheek against his forehead. Gu Yun was stunned. Not to mention the Jiangbei Daying, even the Black Iron Battalion did not dare to treat him like an outsider. Then, he smelled the scent of Anshensan. His half-blind eyes, which had already adapted to his poor vision, saw a vague silhouette.
Gu Yun's body was still sweating. His forehead exploded and another layer of cold sweat appeared. He thought, "Why is he here?"
Changgeng turned on the simple gas lamp on the camp bed. He silently took out a handkerchief from the basin beside him and wiped the cold sweat on Gu Yun's forehead.
Gu Yun's whole body was soft. There seemed to be an invisible wound buried under the skin and flesh of his chest. He felt a dull pain with just a little force. He fumbled around his body for a while, and a little flustered, he touched his glass mirror frame. "I'll do it myself …"
Chang Geng lowered his head and ignored him. With a light clasp, he pressed his wrist down.
Gu Yun nervously moistened his lips. He felt a little guilty for no reason. He thought, "No one is talking nonsense, right?"
At this moment, Changgeng had already finished wiping Gu Yun's body. He pulled his clothes tightly and pulled the quilt over to wrap Gu Yun tightly. Then, he finally raised his head and made some eye contact with Gu Yun.
Gu Yun hurriedly took the opportunity to smile at him.
Changgeng looked at him expressionlessly.
Gu Yun weakly pulled out a hand and wrapped it around the back of Changgeng's neck. She gently rubbed it twice and stroked his chin with her fingers. "Why do you pull a long face when you see me? Has your adoptive father lost his love for you so quickly?"
"…" Changgeng suddenly wanted to see how good he was at pretending, so he asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?"
Gu Yun squinted slightly to read his lips and said without changing her expression, "I caught a cold."
Changgeng: "…"
He had expected Gu Yun to beat around the bush, but he didn't expect him to be so insincere.
Gu Yun wanted to pass the time happily, so she reached out and patted Changgeng's face. "Come here. Let me see if you've lost weight recently."
Changgeng slapped his hand away and said angrily, "Gu Zi Xi!"
Gu Yun immediately adjusted her strategy and frowned. She frowned with the majesty of a military law. "Who said anything to you? General Zhong just left. Is this Jiangbei Daying still lawless? "
Changgeng took a deep breath. "You were in the mourning hall …"
Gu Yun complained solemnly, "Which battalion is that bastard guarding the mourning hall? Call Yao Zhongze over. I'll ask him how he should be dealt with according to military law! "
Changgeng gently ground his teeth.
Gu Yun shook his head as if it was a serious matter. "The Jiangbei Navy is still young. This kind of thing won't happen in the Black Iron Battalion."
"Is that so?" Changgeng said with a fake smile. "I'm that bastard. How does the marshal plan to deal with me?"
Gu Yun: "…"
At this moment, Marshal Gu, who was ever-changing and knew all kinds of tricks, didn't know what it meant to be "speechless".
Changgeng actually had a lot of things he wanted to interrogate him, but he knew that he wouldn't tell the truth. He couldn't bear to see this fellow suffer in order to deal with him, so he swallowed his words. After a few times, he was still in a dilemma. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent.
A guard outside the commander's tent anxiously called out, "Your highness! His Royal Highness Yan Wang! "
Changgeng frowned and stood up. "What's wrong?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden tremor from the ground. Changgeng's expression turned cold. This kind of tremor would only occur when a long cannon landed!
When he looked again, the Jiangbei Daying was already brightly lit. The sound of horse hooves approached from afar. The armor was cold, and the copper roar above his head hummed. It carried the unique dullness of Jiangbei that was full of water vapor. It sounded like muffled thunder, and half of the mountains and rivers in the north seemed to be awakened. The sea serpents on the shore lit up steam lamps one after another. The cold light pierced through the dense water vapor, and the straight beam of light from the watchtower quickly streaked across the entire Jiangbei.
Enemy attack!
Although Gu Yun couldn't hear clearly, he recognized the tremor from the ground and the light that shone through the door. When he arrived in Jiangbei, the first thing he did was to strengthen the defense line to stabilize the people's hearts. He didn't expect that the unusually calm Western Navy would really choose this time to launch a surprise attack on Jiangbei Daying.
Sometimes, one had to do their best and leave it to fate. Even though he had exhausted all his schemes here, he didn't know that the enemy was also on fire in his backyard and had secretly created a commander with a completely different style.
Gu Yun didn't have time to think carefully. He grabbed his coat and wrapped it around his body. When he got up, he staggered as if he had just eaten five kilograms of softening tendon powder. He almost knelt down.
At this moment, a Black Eagle flashed through the air and landed directly at the entrance of the commander's tent. Before he could speak, the red label urgent letter in his hand rolled out of his hand and was stepped on by Gu Yun.
Gu Yun struggled to hold the headboard of the bed and bent down. He opened the letter barrel with the help of the steam lamp. At the same time, the Black Eagle quickly reported, "Commander, the 18 tribes used the pretext of peace talks and surrender to urge their men of sacrifice and six carts of purple gold to our border as bait. After detonating, they blew up a path. Then, tens of thousands of elite soldiers poured out in full force, intending to fight to the death."
Gu Yun looked up from the red label urgent letter. "What's the situation? How many casualties? "
Black Eagle replied, "This subordinate left in a hurry. I don't know!"
Gu Yun calmed himself down, then gritted his teeth fiercely. He forcefully exerted his strength and reached out to grab the Cutting Wind Blade hanging at the head of the bed. He ordered, "Bring me a set of heavy armor."
At this time, only the self-supporting heavy armor could make up for his weakness.
Changgeng raised his hand to stop the guards. He turned to face Gu Yun and said in a deep voice, "Zi Xi, you take charge of the army. I'll go."
Gu Yun stared at him and pursed his lips slightly. Changgeng recognized this expression. It was basically a sign that he was about to say "no".
He didn't wait for Gu Yun to speak and said first, "Don't you trust me?"
Gu Yun sighed. "I …"
Changgeng spread out a hand to him. "Give me the wind-cutting blade. I'll go for you. If you still trust me, don't walk out of this tent."
The flames of war in the distance were reflected in Changgeng's eyes. His pupils seemed to be on fire, burning the Daliang's empire.
Changgeng tentatively grabbed one end of the wind-cutting blade and slowly but firmly pulled it out from Gu Yun's hand. It wasn't difficult. Gu Yun's wrist was weak and trembling slightly.
He held the Xuan Tie in his hand and placed it horizontally on his shoulder. He bowed slightly. "I'll be the Marshal's lackey."
Gu Yun looked at him deeply. He suddenly turned around and ordered Black Eagle, "Push the sand table. You'll be the messenger."
Changgeng took his saber and left.
The western sea monster that had once crossed the ocean slowly revealed its head from the misty river. Under the large shadow, countless western flood dragons that were as fast as tiger sharks slowly approached. The defensive line that Gu Yun had set up earlier reacted immediately. At the same time, the Jiangbei Daying's three teams of light cavalry that were on standby split into three groups. They occupied all the key ports on the shore and bumped into the Western Navy that was planning to sneak ashore.
Blood quickly flowed down the river. The cannon fire intertwined into a brilliant sea of fireworks on the river.
"Don't stop the cannons." Changgeng urged his horse forward. "During the break, the White Rainbow will take over. All eagle armors will be on standby immediately. I'll give you half an hour to prepare. Fly out of the White Rainbow's range and control the situation in the air. You must not let the eagle armors on their main ship fly up and nail them there!"
"Close the right flank."
"All sea flood dragons in the port, prepare the gunpowder and set off immediately!"
The messenger beside him thought that he had heard wrongly. "Did the Prince say the whole port? An all-out war? "
Changgeng lowered his eyes and glanced at him from his horse. "All-Out war. Let the westerners see that Daliang also has a navy."
The weak Daliang Navy was once unable to withstand a single blow. Even their commander-in-chief died in battle. In a panic, they were taken care of by a civil official who couldn't even ride a horse properly and fled to the north in a panic.
A year ago, the scattered former members of the navy and their comrades who had lost their organization formed a messy army and returned to the place where they were first humiliated. Many of the people who were born in the army were seasick. Many of them couldn't even tell north when they were on the water. Many of them found it difficult to deal with the complicated operation of Daliang's already outdated sea flood dragons …
Now, it was as if a lifetime had passed.
Since the establishment of the Jiangbei Navy, it had undergone two huge reorganizations and reorganizations. The Lingshu Temple had updated the Daliang Navy's warships three times behind the scenes. Last year, they had even sent the Western Ocean's shockingly fast "Tiger Shark" replica ships.
At this time, a rare northern wind was blowing along the banks of the river. The everlasting lamps in the mourning hall of General Chung brightly illuminated the area. The exceptionally conspicuous white canopy in the dark Jiangbei encampment was like a soul-summoning banner, and his heroic spirit was still there.
This sword had been refined, and it could only be sharpened with the blood of the enemy.
Gu Yun couldn't see or hear clearly. He could only determine the distance of the exchange of gunfire from the tremors under his feet. He wasn't even at the front of the formation, but he didn't panic at all. Black Eagle was shocked to find that the entire Jiangbei's defense was in his mind. Where was the strong and where was the weak, where the enemy would choose to break through, and so on … he could predict all of it perfectly.
Since he had already handed over the command of the battle to Changgeng, Gu Yun simply and generously gave him unreserved trust. He didn't give any orders, and the three armies of Jiangbei were left to him to command.
Gu Yun generally monitored the overall situation of the battle while calculating the distribution of violet gold and ammunition in various places. At the same time, he had an urgent red label message in his hand from the Northern Borderline. His efforts had already been divided into two directions and landed on the entire Daliang territory.
This time, the westerners had sent out their troops without warning to show the barbarians. In the final analysis, it was to strive for the interests of the negotiation. If the northern battlefield could withstand the barbarians, the westerners would be jumping around like clowns. But if the northern battlefield lost …
Jiangbei was shrouded in a hazy fog, and the Northern Borderline was wrapped in silver and white.
Calais Yinghou used his men of sacrifice and his own son to open a path. He set fire to one tael of gold and one tael of violet gold. Then, a large number of Bei Man warriors rushed out like crazy, as if they were going to perish together with the enemy.
Shen Yi made a prompt decision and ordered the Black Iron Battalion, who had already penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, to retreat more than ten li. They began to run wildly on the snowy ground.
The Black Iron Battalion's quality was unquestionable. They almost led the barbarians into a thin line.
The barbarians changed their faces faster than flipping a book. The Northern Borderline garrison was already used to Fang Lin's style of turning hostile and biting people. With a signal from the Black Iron Battalion, they immediately mobilized.
He Ronghui and Shen Yi had been partners for many years. Needless to say, they had a tacit understanding. The reinforcements quickly caught up with them and cut across the stretched battle line.
Unexpectedly, Calais Yinghou took out all his assets. He opened up the light cavalry, revealing several heavy chariots that he had not been willing to take out for many years. Hundreds of heavy armored soldiers poured out and used their firepower to create a large net. They collided with the Black Iron Battalion like a black whirlwind. The battle line was in a deadlock for a while.
In less than an hour, Bei Man's reinforcements also arrived. However, they were not men or armored soldiers, but a large number of violet gold escort vehicles. Large amounts of violet gold were turned into steam on the front line of the Northern Borderline. Even the bitter and cold wind could not sweep away the blazing heat. The temperature rose sharply. Large areas of snow and ice melted into hot springs and scattered into the dry land. The white fog engulfed the surroundings and the violet flames formed a tragic spectacle between heaven and earth.
The surface temperature of the iron armor would start to scorch if they got too close. The barbarians used their chariots, their men, and their Heart of the Earth as fuel. They pushed the chariots, their men, and their Heart of the Earth out continuously with the determination of hollowing out Bei Man. They used the fireworks to open a path.
In the evening, the Black Iron Battalion had to retreat again.
