With a whoosh, raging flames shot out and hit the "Road Hog"'s alloy shield.
The iron shield tilted, and the powerful flames were immediately directed to the other side. Although the iron shield instantly turned red from the heat, it didn't melt. Hiding behind the iron shield, the "Road Hog" quickly moved forward. With the help of his surging power, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye and punched toward the face of the fire phoenix.
If it were someone else, they could only dodge or retreat. However, the fire phoenix's body became light and flew into the air, leaving the "Road Hog" holding the red iron shield on the ground. He cursed, "Come down if you dare."
Once out of attack mode, the "Road Hog" would disappear to save the power of will in his Dantian Ocean of Qi. Standing on the ground, Zhou Qingfeng raised his head and cursed, but he couldn't do anything to the fire phoenix floating in the air.
The fire phoenix flew more than twenty meters high and also didn't dare to go down. She had been careless and fought with that guy for two or three rounds. Then, she found that the explosive power of the iron puppet was extremely violent. Its heavy punches were basically unsolvable. Even the Black Tortoise, which was known for its strong defense, couldn't take more than a few hits. Also, it could jump seven or eight meters. It was not safe if it didn't fly higher.
However, the fire phoenix had reincarnated countless times and immediately saw the weakness of Zhou Qingfeng's "iron puppet" — it must have consumed a lot of energy and couldn't last long. Otherwise, it wouldn't have stopped so quickly. She repeatedly flew and attacked, but she couldn't figure out the limit of Zhou Qingfeng's endurance.
The fire phoenix's flames were extremely hot and could burn the sky and the earth. There was almost nothing it couldn't burn. This extreme heat could even melt gold. It was her unique skill against enemies and had always been successful. However, Zhou Qingfeng's big iron shield was also strange. It was bright red from the heat and didn't show any signs of softening. It was still extremely tough.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, the fire phoenix didn't gain any advantage. Instead, she felt that the leader of the Revolutionary Army was very difficult to deal with. She shouted in the air, "Give my daughter's True Essence back."
Standing on the ground, Zhou Qingfeng was also distressed that he couldn't fly. His clothes were burned, as if he had escaped from a fire. His left hand that was holding the shield had to be stabilized with ice, or it would be burned. After fighting for a long time, he still wasn't able to gain the upper hand, and the time limit of the Road Robber was almost up. But he refused to yield …
"If you come and talk nicely, I might be able to agree. But now, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Let's end this battle first. " Zhou Qingfeng was already prepared. If this unreasonable woman still wanted to fight, he could only take out his gun to deal with her. This Phoenix was extraordinary, but he was not a punching bag.
"You …!" Fire Phoenix frowned in anger. She was of noble status and was worshipped wherever she went. Just like when she appeared at the top of the city wall in Tianjin, both sides inside and outside the city did not dare to act rashly, and even allowed her to do whatever she wanted. At this moment, as she stared at Zhou Qingfeng, she had an extremely fearful premonition — if she didn't kill him today, the status of the Ancient Auspicious Beast would fall in the future.
"You obviously don't want to evolve into a real dragon. Why did you rebel?" Fire Phoenix asked in a low voice. "What's in it for you?"
"How can a swallow and sparrow know the ambition of a swan?" Zhou Qingfeng raised his head and shouted, "I rebel to save the Han civilization. I transform this world and pull hundreds of millions of people out of the abyss of suffering. What True Dragon or Fake Dragon? Whoever dares to stop me, I will destroy it. You stupid bird, what do you know! "
Ever since Fire Phoenix could remember, it has heard countless righteous words. She could tell the truth in Zhou Qingfeng's words. For a moment, she was slightly stunned and asked, "You don't want to be a real dragon. Why?"
"Get out of here. Don't get in my way." Zhou Qingfeng was so angry that he didn't have the mood to explain his dream to this hot-tempered woman.
Fire Phoenix was even more furious, but suddenly she saw the Yin and Yang fish on Zhou Qingfeng's chest. She turned and shouted in shock, "Yin and Yang? How could this thing be on you? You … Where did you come from? "
Zhou Qingfeng and Fire Phoenix had been staring at each other. Suddenly, he felt that the other's eyes became extremely sharp, as if they were going to pierce into his brain to explore. He immediately snorted and guarded his ocean of consciousness to prevent the other's consciousness from invading. The two sides were in a deadlock. Ye Na suddenly rode "Dog Meat" and rushed over from a distance with his guards.
Little Ice Phoenix also appeared beside Fire Phoenix with a crying expression. She begged in a low voice, "Mother, don't fight. Please don't fight. That guy is extraordinary, and he hasn't used his trump card yet. He also had a very thick and large gun, which had once shot an extremely powerful guy half to death. Mother, I'm afraid that you two will fight. "
Fire Phoenix didn't hear it. She stared at Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "I ask again, what is your background?"
"It's none of your business!" How could Zhou Qingfeng say it?
Fire Phoenix was so angry that she laughed and said fiercely, "Well, boy, you wait. If I can't deal with you, someone else will naturally deal with you. Don't think that you can keep your secret. I can guess what's going on. Don't think that it's so easy to fight in this world. When you have suffered enough, you will come and beg me. "
Fire Phoenix stared at Zhou Qingfeng for the last time. She turned around and flew away with little Ice Phoenix.
Zhou Qingfeng furrowed his brows as he fought with the Fire Phoenix for no apparent reason. When Ye Na approached, he asked about the situation of the camp. Ye Na did not contact the Imperial Guard in the camp for defense as Yin Hu ordered. Instead, she ran to find Zhou Qingfeng anxiously. After seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was fine, she said that the camp was under attack and the situation was very bad.
Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly rushed back to the camp outside the city, only to find that after experiencing the situation of 'the appearance of the phoenix but the absence of the commander-in-chief', although the various troops in the camp did not have a unified command, they still put up a tenacious resistance. The female soldiers first defeated the enemy's frontal assault. Then the infantry and cavalry went out of the camp and fought against the enemy's encirclement.
Although both sides were in a mess, the Imperial Guard still suppressed the enemy with the advantage of equipment and training. A large number of defeated Ming Army soldiers appeared on the battlefield. Zhou Qingfeng's reappearance made the camp burst into cheers. The shout of "Grand Marshal is back" spread everywhere. The mood of the Imperial Guard was stabilized and the battle went on more smoothly.
The female soldiers who were originally guarding the camp rushed out in platoons and taught the Ming Army a lesson with bayonets. Zhou Qingfeng led the team to the position of the artillery battery. He requested to bombard the enemy's open city gate and take the opportunity to break the city.
"Grand Marshal, we only have two cannons that can still be used. The rest are useless." The officers of the artillery battery all frowned. In fact, when the enemy left the city, they wanted to intercept and shoot. However, the cannons used animal tendons as torsion springs. After high intensity use, it was very easy to be destroyed. "The two usable cannons have a reduced range and a plummeting accuracy."
Zhou Qingfeng ordered the cannons to shoot for a whole day yesterday. In addition to consuming a large amount of black gunpowder, the cannons started to have problems. The weakness of the cannons was too big. Because of repeated use, the elasticity of the bull tendons decreased rapidly and even tore. The biggest advantage of this thing was its high mobility. It could only be used temporarily in other aspects.
"Stop shooting the cannons." Zhou Qingfeng rode on the giant wolf. He pulled out his military knife and shouted, "My personal cavalry, go to the battlefield and gather the troops. Everyone, follow me and charge straight at the city gate."
The Imperial Guards on the battlefield were still fighting for themselves. It was only when Zhou Qingfeng's iconic Saber of Light lit up that his subordinates started to gather towards him. He didn't even want the camp. The people of the artillery battery grabbed some random sticks and followed him to charge towards the city gate. The Imperial Guards who were slaughtering and slashing all over the place also understood their duty and quickly responded.
Hundreds of subordinates around Zhou Qingfeng quickly gathered. Other than his personal guards, the female soldiers who were originally guarding the front of the camp followed closely behind him. He immediately linked all these subordinates into his military formation and gathered everyone's courage to speed forward.
At this moment, Governor Xue Sancai had just passed through the city gate and returned to the city tower. When he saw the collapse of the situation outside the city, he was filled with regret. He stomped his feet and shouted at the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Close the city gate, close the city gate, quickly close the city gate."
In the city's defense system, the city gate was a weak point. Compared to the city wall that was more than ten meters high and seven to eight meters thick, the city gate was too thin. When the city gate was closed, it could still be supported by the people's wishes. But once it was opened, it was completely unimpeded. Governor Xue panted and shouted, "Retract the drawbridge, retract the drawbridge."
After retracting the drawbridge, there was at least a wide and deep moat outside the city. Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was organizing people to take over the city, Governor Xue regretted leaving the city to fight this battle. The rebel soldiers had strong wills and were still full of fighting spirit when they saw the Phoenix. Thousands of people left the city to fight, but they were still beaten to a pulp.
The soldiers inside the city gate were desperately pulling the ratchet of the drawbridge. The imperial soldiers outside the city immediately turned pale with fright. Commander You of Changping, who was covering the wound on his abdomen, was about to return to the city. When he saw the drawbridge slowly being pulled up, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Wait, I haven't entered the city yet."
Governor Xue on the city tower didn't care about the life and death of a mere commander outside. He shouted, "Don't wait, quickly pull up the drawbridge."
The drawbridge was still slowly pulled up. Commander You rode his horse outside and cursed loudly. He looked back again and saw that Zhou Qingfeng had already gathered enough people and was about to attack. He quickly turned his horse around and followed the moat to the direction of the other city gates. As soon as Commander You left, Ye Na, who had turned into a phantom feather, flapped her wings and flew over. She slashed at the two iron chains on the drawbridge with her big sword in both hands.
In a short while, the city gate was already closed. The drawbridge was also raised to a person's height, making it difficult for outsiders to rush over. The iron chains of the drawbridge were thick and tough. They were made of a special material that was strengthened with spells when they were forged to prevent them from being cut by people. Ye Na used all her strength, but she couldn't cut them off even after slashing a dozen times. Instead, Zhou Qingfeng, who was quickly approaching, ordered Ye Na in the army formation, "Get out of the way, I'll do it."
Xue Sancai on the city tower was on tenterhooks. He saw Ye Na who was constantly slashing at the iron chains of the drawbridge. He immediately ordered several cannons on top of the city wall to aim, "Boom, kill that female traitor for me."
There were still a few Frang cannons on top of the city wall. The cannons guarding the city had just loaded the sub-cannons, and the cannons fired four to five times in one breath. While the cannons were firing, Ye Na quickly flew away and Zhou Qingfeng quickly approached. Facing the drawbridge that was still being pulled up, he easily jumped over on the giant wolf. With the strength provided by hundreds of people in the army formation, he swung his sword.
The white blade of light flashed and disappeared into the already closed city gate. The city gate seemed to be intact, but the powerful blade of light easily cut through the ten-inch-thick city gate. Even if the city gate was strengthened by the yellow light and iron plates, it was useless. The blade of light cut through the hole in the city gate and immediately cut a dozen soldiers who were twisting the ratchet wheel into several pieces.
Without the support of the pulling force, the iron chains of the drawbridge fell down and crashed onto the other side of the moat with a loud clang. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard, who had already reached the riverbank, immediately cheered thunderously and charged over.
The city gate was still in front of Zhou Qingfeng. He used the speed granted by the giant wolf to soar into the air and summon the 'Road Robber' to crash into the city gate. The 'Road Robber', which weighed more than three tons, was like a super heavy artillery shell. The city gate, which had already been cut open by the blade of light, was blasted into pieces and collapsed with a loud clang.
A thick cloud of dust rose behind the city gate. Xue Sancai had just come down from the city tower. When he saw that the traitor had broken through the city gate, he could only circulate his Official Prestige to protect himself and draw his sword. His beard and hair were wild, and he used his body to block the entrance of the city gate. He wanted to use the wishes of all the people in the city to turn the tide. "I, Xue, am here. Who wants to fight me?"
Without saying a word, the 'Road Robber' pulled out a double-barreled Deringer flintlock pistol from his waist, aimed the thick muzzle at the old man who was in his way, and pulled the trigger.
Two 'bang bang bang' sounds that sounded like the sound of cannons rang out. Governor Xue Sancai, who was protected by the Official Prestige, was sent flying like a golden ball by the two large caliber bullets. He spun in the air and landed more than a hundred meters away.
Looking at the huge steel machine strutting into Tianjin City, Xue Sancai, who was covered in dirt and had a face full of dust, sat up from the ground with great difficulty and cried bitterly. However, a servant hurriedly rushed over from behind him and shouted with a face full of joy, "Master, we're saved!"
"Saved my ass! The city gate has already been broken through!"
"Master, the Liaodong Military Commissioner Yang Gao has come to help under orders. His general, Du Song, is leading 20,000 vanguards to enter the city from the north gate. "
