Chapter 67: The Canglong Sinks West

The fire burned the city. Ever since the Long Army began to use firearms, a large area of ​​fire has risen in the northern part of Luojing. The smoke and heat waves produced by the burning have licked the night sky, making the residents of the city look anxious and panic. No one knows which side will win tonight, but if the fire spreads...

Various emotions flowed in the city. Some people thought about escaping from Luojing, some wondered if they could take advantage of the chaos to do something, and some people looked at the fire and felt anxious, lamenting the subversive changes in the world.

On the front line of the battlefield, General Si Ji, who commanded the Julong army, asked some of his men to delay in front, and then reorganized the defense line at the key intersections and lanes in the city.

In addition to these sergeants holding gilt fire guns, there are also some soldiers on the side carrying thick vermilion cannon barrels on standby at any time. If the local dragon riders dare to dive down, these powerful firearms are enough to blow the dragon to pieces.

Even with these methods, Si Ji was still not satisfied, so he asked his confidants to bring the rare dragon artillery of the general to the city and several high towers in the palace, so that they could shoot at any time and support all parts of the city. In this way, the general felt relieved.

'Even if it is the Beifu army, it will be difficult to break through now. , he thought to himself, and then estimated the other party's possible means.

Because the Beifu army was divided into two groups, most of the long-distance raids on Luojing were cavalry, and they did not bring much luggage. In other words, if the Beifu army could not capture Luojing today, there would be no second chance and they could only retreat.

But today's Beifu army is like water without a source. Its strength is one point less than one point. They are neither willing to stand on their own as a country, nor to be attached to a certain royal family. After these loyal elites are exhausted, they can no longer replenish them. And Si Ji also vaguely heard some news that although the Qingluan Five Meridians did not hold back after the Beifu Army went south and did some things such as cutting off food and grass, it was only because the Beifu Army was attacking the royal family of the dynasty.

'As long as we persevere through tonight, the enemy's spirit will be lost, and when the surrounding continents mobilize reinforcements, the Beifu army can only retreat steadily. Thinking of this, Si Ji gradually settled down in his heart.

On the battlefield in the city, facing the rearranged defense line, the advance of the Beifu army once again encountered great obstacles.

At the crossing of the road, dense firecrackers shot continuously. Apart from the soldiers of the Julong army, there were also some temporarily recruited combatants on the roofs on both sides. They wore simple cloaks and held firecrackers in their hands. Under the leadership of a small number of veterans, they fired at the Beifu army on the street.

Looking down at Luojing from the cold sky, one can clearly see that the front line of the battle is stuck, the Beifu army in white and silver armor is advancing more and more slowly, and casualties are gradually occurring. ....

Seeing that the situation gradually fell to the defenders in the city, when many figures watching the battle in secret were relieved, a burst of trumpets resembling the sound of an elephant exploded in the sky.

Soon after, there was a sound of bricks and stones collapsing from the north wall. Amidst a large amount of sparks and smoke, tall monsters that looked like lakes gradually appeared. As they gradually approached, rows of houses collapsed at their feet, and then the outlines became more and more clear, until they suddenly walked out of the smoke.

These gigantic beasts are mountain-shaped, with blood-red and gray-white bodies. There are four curved giant horns on their heads, two of which are upwards and two downwards, like long ferocious fangs.

"獓——" These giant beasts advanced amidst the flames and gunfire, exhaling white smoke from their mouths, floating towards the sky in the firelight.

Although the defenders in the city kept firing at these giant beasts with continuous gunshots, they had almost no effect on these giant beasts. They were covered with gray and white thick bristles. These bristles were comparable to gold and iron, and they were heavily contaminated with water vapor.

It also dripped into the coals from time to time, making a splashing sound.

When these gigantic monsters started to run wildly, the ground under their feet seemed to jump up and began to shake, making it difficult for people to stand still. When they stepped on them, many soldiers who had no time to dodge were trampled into mud and flesh by the huge black hooves that covered the sky.

Such a violent trampling and sound made the new monarch in the deep palace feel an inexplicable heartache. He leaned on the dragon chair and was about to stand up.

Soon several dragonriders took off from the open space in front of the main hall, ascended to the sky above Luojing, and the Beifu army below, relying on these terrifying giant beasts, broke through layer by layer in the middle of the city.

Seeing that the general situation was not good, these dragon riders also rushed back to inform everyone in the hall of the news.

"Tell me, what is outside!?"

"Report Your Majesty, the Beifu army, led by more than 20 giant beasts, has already broken through the defense line of the dragon army and charged towards the palace!" Even this well-informed dragonrider general was a little panicked at this moment, and his voice was filled with urgency and uneasiness.

Xie Yin, whose shape is like a cow, has a white body with four horns, and is as proud as a cape. Its name is Xie Yin, and it is a cannibal.

This is a ferocious monster living in the cold place outside the Great Wall in the north, its strength is powerful

, with a ferocious temperament, has always been the target of the local defenders, but for some reason, he appeared in the formation of the Beifu army today and was used by them.

"How is it possible?" When it came to Xing Yin, some knowledgeable ministers present couldn't believe it.

There are many knowledgeable people among them. How could they not know about this ferocious giant beast that existed in ancient times. When the ancestors migrated and opened up the wilderness, they naturally fought against such beasts. After thousands of years, with the establishment of tribes and countries, such ferocious beasts have become less and less. How could it be possible for so many to suddenly appear now, and they were actually tamed? Could it be that the Beifu army has been raising their own self-esteem all these years? But after thinking about it, it feels wrong, because the Xie is vicious and bloodthirsty, the cost of raising these evil beasts is really too high, and it is impossible to hide it. ....

The hall suddenly became chaotic, and some people talked about the origin of the giant beast, and some people began to suggest that the new king should ride on the giant dragon immediately to prepare for the transfer, and some said that they would send letters to the surrounding door-to-door Dapai, asking them to rush to the rescue. Various opinions were presented in front of the young monarch, and the urgent faces and shouting words made the new monarch overwhelmed.

Seeing that the situation was changing step by step and the hall was full of noise, a general with bloodstains and scars all over his body suddenly stepped into the gate of the palace.

At this time, he was not as majestic as before. The tiger biting golden armor was covered with scratches, which were still stained with dried blood and dust, and his face was covered with wind and frost.

"Silence!" He yelled, forcefully interrupting the commotion in the palace.

Then the general led a hundred elite guards to push away the crowded ministers and walked towards the king in the center.

"What's the matter with Siji Aiqing?" At this time, Xinjun finally calmed down and asked the general why he came.

"Your Majesty, there are servants from the tribes outside the Great Wall in the Beifu Army. They summoned and commanded some monsters to break through the front line and destroyed a large area of ​​the northern city wall. Now Luojing can be said to be safe to defend, but the other side can come and go freely. If the situation is unfavorable, please make a decision early." He knelt down on one knee and said in a sincere voice.

"Why, how could this be so." The young emperor had an unbelievable expression on his face. As the world's mightiest city, Luo Jing was breached in such a night, which made him totally unacceptable.

One must know that even if King Dai led an army of nearly 400,000 to besiege this Luojing, at that time they only damaged part of the outer city walls, and did not even enter the city.

He stood up abruptly, then sat down blankly, his face pale and ugly.

Originally, as the temporary successor to the emperor, his prestige and qualifications were not enough. If Luo Jingdu was lost, he himself was a little desperate about whether he could rise up in the future.

Seeing that the new king is actually sitting in the dragon chair, and

The roar and neighing of the giant beast outside was getting closer and closer, and the people in the hall became more anxious and panicked.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Li Jingfang, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He strode up the steps, lifted the new king from the dragon chair, and supported him.

"Your Majesty, please also order that we will follow to the death, and we must not get confused."

"Thousands of karma, slowly figure it out, don't you see the old story of Chi Yao?"

The country of Chiyao, one of the predecessors of the dynasty, is the direct descendant of Chifeng. The founding king of the country was in poverty and embarrassment several times, lost most of the country, and even ceded the capital.

This loud shout and persuasion finally woke up the young emperor. His face sank, he threw off his sleeves and stood alone, then walked down the steps.

"General Si Ji, please rise up, now I still need the general to open the way for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the general led a group of personal guards to protect the new monarch and walked quickly to the door of the main hall.

As soon as he came out of the warm hall, a gust of cold wind poured into his sleeves, waking everyone up, and then the fierce and anxious battle situation came into view. ....

In the night sky above the head, the dragon rides of both sides are constantly staggering in the sky, the dragons are flying, the flames and frost are dancing, roaring and killing sounds are endless, the sight turns to the lower part, outside the palace in the distance, a huge giant beast tramples and smashes houses and buildings, bringing up a large amount of smoke and sparks.

A series of musket shots shot at the giant beast, hitting some blue smoke on its body, and then a dazzling flame streaked across the night sky, and exploded on the giant beast, setting off an incandescent flame, which made these giant beasts slow down, and the gray-white fur on their bodies was also scorched black, revealing the tough and thick shield under the fur.

"獓——" the giant beast roared again, and then burst out with ferocious power, running towards the artillery firing point, smashing and trampling countless buildings and rubble along the way, until it cut the soldiers of the Julong army who were riding the artillery fire and had no time to evacuate into blood, before giving up.

Then there was another long horn sound in the night sky, and the giant beast slowly turned its head and headed towards the palace again.

Even though they were thousands of meters away, when the new king saw the blood-red beast boy, he still felt a wave of panic. Although he was smart and talented since he was a child, he had always lived in the peaceful and stable Luojing, and he had never faced these bloodthirsty ferocious beasts outside the Great Wall.

Turning his head, he took a deep breath to calm down his emotions. At this moment, six red-scaled giant dragons descended slowly from the sky. They were dragon riders directly under the Dragon-scaled Halberd Guards, and they were also the most trusted generals of the emperor.

"Your Majesty." The dragon rider on the dragon turned over

He got down and knelt on one knee in the open space outside the hall, waiting for instructions.

"I need to transfer temporarily, you call the remaining dragonriders to follow, as for the commander in the city..." In the flickering fire, the new king's face changed from light to dark several times, and finally he spoke decisively.

"The subsequent command will be handed over to General Si Ji."

"Yes, Your Majesty." These dragonriders stood up as ordered, mounted the giant dragon again, and then blew the small horns they carried with them. The long and clear sound was particularly awakening in the night.

Not long after the sound came out, several long dragon roars echoed in the night sky on the west side of Luojing, and soon six golden-scale giant dragons drove a luxurious and solemn dragon chariot across the night sky. Following the dragon chariot were two teams of dragonriders in golden bird armor. They drove across the night sky, repelled some of the northern cold iron dragonriders who came to attack, and then let the dragon chariot land in front of the hall calmly.

The imperial chariot used by the Son of Heaven is about 100 meters long and 40 meters wide. It is made of agarwood mahogany. It has five layers, with beads and jade hanging on each layer.

Following a burst of smoke and dust, the dragon chariot lowered the steps, and the accompanying palace guards surrounded the emperor and walked towards the entrance. When the new king stepped up the steps step by step, his field of vision became wider and wider. Before stepping into the imperial chariot, he could already overlook the entire scene in Luojing.

I saw this past

The city that never sleeps, which is extremely colorful and decorated with thousands of lights from night to dawn, is now in chaos. Large areas and houses in the north have been reduced to ruins, with flames and smoke constantly, while the south area is not doing well. Countless residents crowded the streets, shouting and trampling on them and fleeing to the outside of the city.

Looking at the capital city that has become a purgatory on earth, the new king gritted his teeth, then walked into the imperial chariot without looking back.

'Today's shame will surely be repaid. ,

In the night sky illuminated by the flames, this dragon chariot rose slowly, and the gorgeous patterns all over its body gradually lit up, forming a protective circle. Seeing that the dragon chariot carrying the emperor and his ministers was about to flee westward, the dragonriders of the Beifu army fighting in the sky ignored the pull and restraint of their opponents, and began to chase after it, diving towards the dragon chariot that had not yet accelerated.

"Roar—" The icy breath gushed down from the sky and poured on the dragon chariot's defensive circle, but unfortunately it couldn't penetrate in case. As the golden dragon pulling the cart fluttered its wings, the majestic and luxurious dragon chariot gradually increased its speed and began to move away from the palace below.

"How can I let you, a traitor, escape!" There was a loud roar in the night sky, and then a black dragon swooped down fiercely.

On the dragon's back, Zhuo Fengtang held up the shining gold-plated phoenix wings in his hand. This sacred object exuded burning magic power in the night sky, and a long flame trailed in the air, like a dazzling blue comet, crashing into the huge dragon chariot heading west.

"Peng—"

Sparks overflowed and resounded through the sky. .
