Outside Lanyan City, thirty thousand Imperial Guards led the charge to break out of the encirclement. Feng Jixing held his long blade and rode his horse to the front of the formation. The Purple Electric Flame Wolf Martial Soul was entrenched around him, as though there was no one around. Lin Muyu led Wei Qiu, Xiahou Sang, and the rest of the Eagle Nest Camp's armored soldiers and followed the Imperial Guards to kill their way through. After breaking through seven to eight obstructing shield formations, the front was actually empty. The Yihe Country's army moved to the sides like a tide, as though they were afraid, but it was more like they were deliberately avoiding the enemy.
… …
"What's going on?" Feng Jixing held his bloody long saber and said through gritted teeth, "Long Qianlin wants to let the Imperial Guards break out of the encirclement on purpose?!"
Lin Muyu lowered her sword, grabbed Jue Di's reins, and galloped all the way. She said with a serious expression, "Big Brother Feng, something is wrong. We can't break out of the encirclement so easily. The Yihe Nation's army isn't that weak. There must be a trap."
Feng Jixing nodded, "I know, but … we still have to go to Heaven's Causeway Mountain."
"You must be careful!"
Lin Muyu frowned, "Heaven's Causeway Mountain is most likely a trap. You must be extra careful. The Yihe Nation's people are hypocritical and cunning. If it's not absolutely necessary, don't go to Heaven's Causeway Mountain."
"Yes, I know." Feng Jixing nodded, and said with a smile, "Yu, you must also be careful. Long Qianlin must have already noticed Dragon Rocky Mountain, and it's most likely surrounded now."
"I know. Let's part ways here."
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu suddenly pulled the reins, and Jue Di let out a long neigh. He took his master to the northeast, while Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the other soldiers of the Eagle Nest Camp followed. Feng Jixing shouted, and led the thirty thousand Imperial Guards eastward towards Heaven's Causeway Mountain.
…
The Eagle's Nest Camp was made up entirely of cavalry. They moved at lightning speed. After four hours, they could already see Dragon-rocky Mountain in the distance. Just as Feng Jixing had expected, the flags of the Yihe Nation were flying at the foot of Dragon-rocky Mountain. This place was surrounded. However, there were not many soldiers surrounding the mountain, no more than 20,000 at most. With the remaining 15,000 soldiers in the Longdan Army Camp, it would definitely not be a problem for them to rush out.
"A messenger bird!" Lin Muyu turned around and said.
Wei Chou immediately took the cage from the side of the horse and handed the messenger bird to Lin Muyu. Lin Muyu quickly wrote a line of words, "Luo Yu, I have led the Eagle Nest Camp to the west of Dragon-rocky Mountain to provide support. You will lead all the troops of the Longdan Army Camp down the mountain and follow me back to the imperial capital. — — Lin Muyu "
"Whoosh …"
The bird flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. Like a sharp white arrow, it shot towards the towering Dragon-rocky Mountain. Not long after, the sound of drums on the mountain did not stop. Countless flags of the Longdan Army Camp could be faintly seen flying in the air. There were also some family's purple flower flags among them. It seemed that Luo Yu had already regarded the Longdan Army Camp as one of the many armies of the empire.
"They are charging down the mountain," Xiahou Sang said with a slightly excited smile.
Lin Muyu nodded, "Let's go, we will charge in from the periphery. We will coordinate from the inside and the outside to welcome the Longdan Army Camp down the mountain."
"Yes!"
After returning the Dragon Spirit Sword to its sheath, Lin Muyu directly held the Pear Blossom Spear and charged forward. Under the tactics of cavalry, the spear was naturally more lethal. As the saying went, an inch longer was an inch stronger. Moreover, the Pear Blossom Spear was cold and sharp. It was very suitable for charging on horseback. Immediately, the hundreds of people from the Eagle Nest Camp, led by Lin Muyu, charged into the Yihe Nation's camp from the back like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
"Pfft!"
Xiahou Sang's broadsword directly chopped off the head of a volunteer soldier. He swept his gaze around and shouted, "Commander, the ones surrounding the mountain are the troops of Swift White Province's Sunset City. Heh … Count Xiyang Manning is already an old thing, yet he still dares to come to the Northern Ridge to mess with us. He is simply an old bastard. Kill them all!"
"Count Xiyang Manning?"
Lin Muyu frowned. At the same time, she also realized that the volunteer soldiers in front of her were indeed on the weak side. The soldiers seemed to have been out of battle formation for a long time. Faced with the Imperial Guards and Royal Army's attacks, they did not even have the slightest bit of strength to fight back. Just like that, she and her people killed their way into the depths of the camp. After Wei Chou shot the vanguard general with one arrow, the more than ten thousand volunteer soldiers lost their leader and completely became a target for slaughter.
On the mountain, the Longdan Army Camp roared down. Luo Yu and Fengxi rushed at the front of the crowd. How could the Sunset City Army possibly withstand the elite heavy cavalry? In the blink of an eye, they tore through the encirclement. The powerful battle formation of the Longdan Army Camp directly caused the Yihe Nation's army to be frightened out of their wits. Their flags fluttered, and they collapsed without a fight!
Seeing the Yihe Nation's army retreat like the tide, Luo Yu continued to ride forward. She found Lin Muyu in the crowd, cupped her fists, and said, "Madam, should we chase after them?"
"No need." Lin Muyu shook her head. "This volunteer army is not worthy of being our opponent. Follow me back to Lanyan City immediately. We are needed there."
"Yes!"
Turning their horses around, the 15,000 elites of the Longdan Army Camp led by Lin Muyu and Luo Yu charged straight for Lanyan City. The sound of hooves was earth-shattering. It was as if this army had become Lanyan City's only hope.
…
However, Lin Muyu did not know that Lanyan City had already reached a point of no return.
"Boom!"
The city wall collapsed by another 20 meters. Zhang Wei, who was standing on the city wall, was dumbfounded. He watched as more than a dozen Imperial Guards fell into the rubble and were smashed into a pile of minced meat. The long saber in his hand was still trembling, and his face was ashen. He said, "Repair the city wall immediately. Archers, shoot. Don't stop. The moment we stop, the Yihe Nation barbarians outside will kill their way in."
"Yes!"
"Guard the city gate and organize the shield formation below the city wall!"
"Yes!" A chiliarch of the Imperial Guards looked at Zhang Wei with a pale face and said, "General Zhang, the Imperial Guards have suffered heavy losses. We don't have more people to organize the shield formation to protect the city gate."
"I don't care!" Zhang Wei roared angrily. "Even if I have to find all the prostitutes in Lanyan City, you have to organize a shield formation of 100 people to protect the city gate. Go! Someone, send a message to Ze Tian Palace and ask General Qin Lei to send the Imperial Guards to reinforce the north gate. The barbarians outside the north gate are attacking like crazy. Heavens … "
"Yes, General!"
Tongtian Street was bustling with people. They knew their fate on the day the city was breached, so many of them had already prepared their carriages. They were prepared to rush out and escape once the city gate was breached. They could not wait for death in the city. This made it even more difficult for the troops guarding the city to advance. In the distance, golden Purple Yinhua flags could be seen waving in the crowd.
"Get out of the way!"
An angry roar exploded in the crowd like a muffled thunder. It was Qin Lei, the commander of the Royal Guards. He was dressed in golden armor and carried the Thunder Split Blade. He personally led the Dragon Guards and Tiger Guards to kill their way over. In the crowd was a young girl wearing a king's crown. It was Qin Yin. Qin Yin had also personally come to defend the city.
Zhang Wei hurriedly flew down the city wall and bowed respectfully. "Your Highness, you really shouldn't have come to the city gate. It's too dangerous here. The southern barbarians of Yihe Nation are attacking like crazy. We can't defend the north gate for much longer."
"No, we must defend it!"
Qin Yin raised her hand and pulled out the Purple Yinhua Sword. She shouted, "As long as the city lives, we live. If the city dies, we die!"
The soldiers' morale was immediately boosted by the Princess's arrival. Many people even rushed up the city wall and shouted, "Who can give me a sword? I also want to fight for the Empire!"
Behind Qin Yin, a group of generals and civil officials shouted, "Your Highness, be careful. You are the only bloodline of the Empire. You can't come to such a dangerous place. Hurry and return to Ze Tian Palace with us!"
Qin Yin did not care so much. With a few leaps, she landed on the city wall. In the distance, a scaling ladder was rapidly approaching the city wall. The volunteer soldiers on the scaling ladder aimed at Qin Yin, the general who was wearing the clothes of the Empire's royal family. They raised their hands and shot a round of arrows.
"Hmph!"
Qin Yin held the Purple Yinhua Sword horizontally in front of her chest. She lightly shook it. Suddenly, the Purple Yinhua Sword let out a sharp sword cry. It turned into a sound wave and attacked. Three volunteer soldiers fell from the ladder. Qin Yin stomped on the bricks of the city wall with her small boots. Six golden God Binding Chains protected her body. She jumped on the ladder and the sword light flashed continuously. Four volunteer soldiers fell to the ground and died.
"Whoosh …"
When she jumped back to the city wall, a few arrows behind her pierced into the wall. Qin Yin couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. This was war, not a game. She could die at any time.
At the foot of the city, a group of volunteer soldiers had already recognized this beautiful girl. Their faces were filled with hatred as they shouted, "She's Qin Yin, it's her … This ugly woman has oppressed the world and preys on the people. She's our enemy. Shoot her, quickly!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Countless arrows flew over. Zhang Wei hurriedly raised his hand and snatched a shield in front of Qin Yin. The arrows landed on the wooden shield with a "Pa Pa Pa" sound. Suddenly, he felt his body heat up. With a "Weng" sound, a huge fire cauldron appeared on the city wall. It was Qu Chu!
Fire Cauldron Qu Chu spun around on top of the city wall and lightly raised his palm. "Boom!" A huge palm print landed on the battlefield outside the city, instantly killing a dozen volunteer soldiers and turning them into a pile of ashes!
Qu Chu turned to Qin Yin and said, "Your Highness, your life is related to the survival of the world. Please follow me back to Ze Tian Palace."
Qin Yin gasped for breath and nodded, "Yes, Qu Chu."
… …
At this moment, a heavy cavalry of the Imperial Army galloped over from afar. With a pale face, he shouted, "Not good, not good … The east gate has been breached!"
"What happened?" Zhang Wei said angrily, "The east gate is so sturdy, how could it be broken?"
The Imperial Guard's face was ashen as he said, "A God … A God has descended. With just one palm, he shattered the entire east gate …"
"Oh my god, a god …" Zhang Wei felt a chill in his heart.
Qu Chu's face also turned pale and said, "Qin Lei, protect Her Highness. Go around the main road through the alley and prepare to break through the east gate. As long as Her Highness is alive, the empire still has hope."
Qin Lei cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Sir Qu Chu!"
Qu Chu looked at the generals in the crowd and said, "Commander Chu Huaiying, lead the Flying Mount Battalion out of the city to face Long Qianlin's main force. Only by delaying his main force outside the north gate can Her Highness have a chance of breaking through."
"Yes!"
Chu Huaiying cupped his fists and looked at Qu Chu. His eyes were filled with determination. "Even if we die in battle, we will definitely delay Long Qianlin."
Qu Chu gave him a deep look. He felt a little bitter in his heart. After a few seconds, he said, "You … You are the pride of the empire …"
