The closer we get to Huangjin City, the denser the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke become. The sky has burned into a fiery red, there are bursts of fighting sounds, and a fierce battle is in full swing!

When approaching Huangjin Ferry, floating corpses had covered the water. The corpses of Yasha and the defenders were half and half. The pier was in flames, the moored ships were tilted, and the water of the Yellow River was dyed a bloody red.

Outside Huangjin City, corpses piled up like mountains, and the demon tides came one after another, numbering far more than ten thousand. In addition to the Yaksha and the owl, there were also three-foot-tall orcs who carried giant hammers and stone axes and charged at the city gate to launch a fierce attack.

The defenders on the city wall were all brave, and every cannonball, every crossbow, and every bullet hit the monster's body accurately!

The soldiers refused to give in, and the demon tide could not attack for a long time. For a while, the two sides fell into a fierce battle!

The ink boat opened the barrier again, turned its cannon head and bombarded the outside of Huangjin City wildly. If the owl dared to get close, a hail of bullets and bullets would hit it head-on, killing it without leaving any armor behind, and blasting it to death without leaving any body intact!

In this way, the bombardment lasted for half an hour, and the color of the sky and the earth changed!

The demonic tide finally began to retreat, and the ink boats also took advantage of this opportunity, spread their wings one after another, soared into the sky from the Huangjiang River, and finally landed steadily in the city of Huangjin.

"The reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements have arrived!" The soldiers and civilians guarding the city cheered and rushed to the ink boat to greet them.

"Don't be too happy yet. The battle is not over yet. Let's move the supplies off the ship together, repair the defensive offensive, and prepare for the next wave of siege!" Yuwen Changqing shouted to everyone.

The elite soldiers moved all the artillery, ammunition, food, and medicines off the ship. The defenders did not neglect, and carried the supplies to the city wall.

"Taifu! But you, Taifu Yuwen?!" A burly general wearing golden armor almost threw himself at Yuwen Changqing's feet. He was such a manly man that he was so excited that he burst into tears.

"General Wang? You should stay with the emperor. Why are you defending the city in Huangjin?" Yuwen Changqing recognized the golden-armored general at his feet.

Yan Yunting also recognized this person. When he and Lin Xiaofeng fled Chang'an, it was this reckless man named "Wang Hongzhang" who led the imperial army to block them.

Wang Hongzhang, known as the number one general of the Yan Dynasty, was bursting into tears at this time, "Reporting to Taifu, I was responsible for guarding the 'Pun Pass' on the border of Yongliang, but just the night before, a large number of demon soldiers suddenly emerged from the Lianghe River.

After attacking the pass, we suffered heavy casualties and had no choice but to retreat to the nearest Huangjin City with our remaining troops..."

Yuwen Changqing frowned and said, "Where is the emperor's 300,000 troops?"

Wang Hongzhang wiped his tears and shook his head: "Three hundred thousand troops were stationed at six passes on the Yongliang border. I was attacked here. I'm afraid the other passes will also be in trouble... I retreated to Huangjin City for less than an hour.

The soldiers took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and have persisted for two days and two nights. The group of birdmen are hovering in the sky, and the information cannot be sent or received. I don't know what the battle situation is on the front line..."

"Hey, you are a great general, how can you cry and cry? It will destroy your fighting spirit!" Yuwen Changqing helped Wang Hongzhang from the ground and asked: "Are there any Jiuzhou sects on the front line participating in the battle?"

Wang Hongzhang said: "Yes, there are nearly five thousand people in the Sishui Gang and Xiangshui Gang, and the immortal chiefs of Kunlun Mountain are also guarding the emperor's camp..."

Yuwen Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you don't have to worry too much. With the Kunlun Mountain guards, there is still room for retreat even if we fail to win. The emperor should be fine."

"General Wang, do you still recognize me?" Yan Yunting asked.

Wang Hongzhang raised his head and looked at Yan Yunting, suddenly drew his sword, and shouted: "You are... the national thief who kidnapped the prince and stole the jade seal, Yan Yunting!"

Yan Yunting said coldly: "No wonder Mr. Lin said that you are brave and foolhardy. At this point, you still can't tell who is the national traitor? King Yu Li Wei poisoned the late emperor on the Cutting Platform and harmed the officials.

Quan usurps the throne! Lin Xiaofeng and I swear to the death and escape from Chang'an with the prince. It would be best for you to be the first to chase him out!"

Wang Hongzhang was stunned: "At that time, I received an order from King Yu, saying that someone was kidnapping the prince in an attempt to treason..."

Yan Yunting said: "Then think about it again. The prince was kidnapped on the first day, Prince Yu ascended the throne as the emperor on the second day, and on the third day he went on a personal expedition. Who is usurping the throne?"

"This..." Wang Hongzhang scratched his head.

Yu Wen Changqing pressed down Wang Hongzhang's sword and sighed: "General Wang, I am retiring from the position of Grand Tutor and recommending Lin Xiaofeng as my replacement just to preserve a fire for the Yan Dynasty after the building collapses. From this point of view,

I am also a traitor to the country, do you want to kill me with your sword?"

Wang Hongzhang quickly sheathed his sword and apologized: "I dare not be rude to the master..."

Yuwen Changqing waved his hand and said: "Okay, whether Li Wei becomes the emperor or Li Ye becomes the emperor, the position belongs to the Li family and no one can take it away. Let's put aside the troubles of this family for the time being.

, the most important thing at the moment is to resist the invasion of the Nine Nether Demons and save the entire human world."

"General Wang, do you know where Wu Xiao is?" Yan Yunting asked.

"Wu Xiao?" Wang Hongzhang was confused.

Yan Yunting hummed softly: "You must know him. He has triangular snake eyes, likes to wear black clothes, is about eight feet tall, and speaks in a hoarse voice. He is not a good person at first glance."

"Are you talking about Master Zhang?"

"If you have seen him, it means it is him. His real name is Wu Xiao, and he is a traitor of the Tianshan Sect who colluded with Jiuyou. I wanted to poison the late emperor, and he was the driving force behind Li Wei's personal expedition."

"Ah!" Wang Hongzhang was shocked, "Master Zhang...oh no, Wu Xiao is accompanying the emperor in front of his tent. His Majesty the emperor is extremely respectful to him and obeys his orders in all matters!"

Yan Yunting sneered: "Look? Isn't this coercing the emperor to order the princes? I guess you will be defeated on the front line. It should be all his credit."

Wang Hongzhang knelt on his knees, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh my god, I think that my Wang family has been loyal for generations, but I believed the words of the national thieves and ruined the 600-year-old foundation of Yan! How can I, Wang Hongzhang, face my ancestors under Jiuquan?

!”

"General! The general is in trouble! The demon soldiers have returned and are already within three miles of the territory. I'm afraid there are... I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 of them!" A messenger rushed to report.

"One hundred thousand!" Wang Hongzhang stared. All the soldiers and civilians in Huangjin City, including the disabled, were only over 20,000. He turned back and looked at Yuwen Changqing: "Master, you are very resourceful, quickly come up with a strategy to defend the city!

"

When Yu Wen Changqing heard this number, his heart sank, and he frowned and said: "Such a disparity in strength is difficult to stop with a city wall. It is better to switch from defense to offense, cooperate with firearms and mechanisms, and fight to the death!"

"Okay!" Wang Hongzhang shed tears and drew his sword: "If heaven had not given birth to me, Wang Hongzhang, I would die tonight to repay my family and my country! The soldiers and civilians of Huangjin City obey the order. Anyone who can hold a weapon should open the city gate and follow me in a bloody battle with the monster soldiers!"
