Chapter 27: The City Burns with Fire
Haojing, the palace, urgently pulled out the team, escorting the empress to the north of the city. In the locomotive car powered by Xuanneng, Song Cao lifted the curtain and said eagerly: "I can't go, how can I leave Haojing at this time?" ”
Next to the carriage, Sun Ziluo said: "Your Majesty, your safety is more important than everything else!" ”
Song Cao said: "But ......"
As he spoke, the locomotive had already begun to move out of the night. Although it was already late at night, in the distance behind them, half of the sky seemed to be burning. Boom, boom, boom...... Whistling shells began to fire, accompanied by bursts of gunfire. Immediately after that, there was an explosion, from the tall city wall of the outer city, there was a sound of landslides and cracks, and the rolling flames pushed in, crying, screaming, and the fire spread from a corner of Haojing to the city.
The palace guards protected the empress and hurriedly evacuated, but the huge firebird was already raging in the city. Braving the scorching heat, Fang Zi raised their arms towards the firebird, and the flames swept in with heat, engulfing them all. The flap of its wings swept an entire street, along with the armored beasts on the street, the cavalry that rushed forward, and the many civilians who tried to evacuate.
The armored war beast overturned in the fire, the flames swept in the same direction, and the buildings skewed and collapsed in the fire, falling in pieces.
Boom, the Taimiao Temple in the southern district, the curtain around the mountain ignited a raging flame, like a burning huge torch, and there was a panic everywhere. Flames rolled over the river, bubbles rolled up in the red water, and willow trees rolled up one by one, like stumbling fire men, rolling into the distance. The children wept, and the mother of the child ran for her life, and a warrior rushed forward and led them to gallop with all their strength, and the houses on both sides fell one after another.
The armored beast turned around the corner and fired a cannonball at the giant firebird, which rushed into the flames, but nothing happened. With a bang, the flames roared, and the armored war beast flipped up and burst. More warriors rushed forward, devoured, and burned. At the eastern gates, the soldiers continued to stay, and the people kept withdrawing. A tall barbarian woman carried a large knife and entered the city against the crowd, looking at the raging flames rushing in the distance, and the large birds flying in the sea of fire.
"Ah Cai girl!" There weren't many women so tall, and a military general recognized her at a glance and hurriedly called.
"Where is Your Majesty?" The barbarian woman named Ah Cai asked, turning her head.
The general wiped his sweat and couldn't answer. Ah Cai ran towards the city, and a sea of fire rushed towards the crowd, and with a bang, the earth qi exploded, and the piled up clods of earth forcibly intercepted the flames.
Even the imperial capital of Huaxia could not stop the crazy slaughter of the Holy Phoenix at this moment, all the Great Qin Jin people and the truly advanced weapons had already been transported to the north, and even if they stayed in Haojing, would they really be able to stop this amazing divine might? Spouting, burning, falling houses with excited bird chirps, and people struggling in the flames.
As the giant bird advanced, the sea of fire began to advance from south to north, and the Jinglong Gate of the inner city and the surrounding city walls fell with a bang, and the thousands of soldiers who rushed towards the giant bird were instantly swept into the flames. Among the nine squares in the inner city, the three squares in the south were the first to become a sea of fire, followed by the imperial city.
The tall barbarian woman raised her head, and the holy phoenix rose into the sky, turned around and rushed down, spitting out a fierce pillar of fire, and the center of the pillar of fire was purple with high temperatures. The pillars of fire that slammed on the earth spread in all directions like mountains and seas, sweeping everything.
Outside Haojing, among the mountains, with the sound of shaking the ground, a mountain-like armored war beast stepped out of the shadows, staggered, and walked towards the capital. A figure rushed out, stretched out its arms in front of the armored war beast, and raised its head: "Stop!" ”
"Sister Tingzhen, get out of the way!" The voice of the giant armored war beast was full of rage, "We're going to deal with that big firebird!" ”
"Don't make trouble, you guys come out for me!" Zhao Tingzhen shouted loudly.
Among the armored war beasts are Mei Xiaolu, Gu Qiu, the son of Gu Shanyan, the deputy master of Momen, and Wu Yuntao, the sister of Wu Yunmei, the wife of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and others. In that military exercise, they showed up with their armored war beasts, but it turned out to be a big joke, and later I learned that the military had been researching similar secret weapons for a long time.
The appearance of the Great Qin Jin people made Mei Xiaolu and the others extremely excited, and they insisted that the military had designed it with reference to their war beast. It's just that although I want to go to the secret base of the military and find out the production process of the Great Qin Jin people, how can I casually let people enter that kind of place? Even if they are one by one, with special identities, they are useless.
So they can only continue to study their own giant beast, but because they are indeed "related households", they can indeed get all kinds of resources that others can't get, and for those adults, as long as they don't make trouble, they don't bother to pay attention to them, in the meantime, although Chun Jianli also wanted to capture Mei Xiaolu back to Jiangnan, so that he could go to school and study at ease, but he always ran out, and later, Chun Jianli didn't have anything to do with him.
However, because they are relatives of the leaders of the Dao and Mo sects after all, and there is also the righteous brother of Chun Jianli, a strange woman with a special identity, whether it is the court or the military, while leaving them alone, after all, they still have to watch over, so Zhao Tingzhen, the "guard with a knife" next to the empress, was sent to watch them, on the one hand, to protect, and on the other hand, to prevent them from causing trouble everywhere.
The holy phoenix fell from the sky, and along the way, I don't know how many villages and towns were destroyed, and now it is wreaking havoc in the capital. The capital of China is the most densely populated place, with more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians, and I don't know how many of them were able to escape. Mei Xiaolu and the others were angry, and they wanted to drive their large war beast to deal with the big firebird, but where did Zhao Tingzhen dare to let them go into battle like this?
"You guys come out for me!" Zhao Tingzhen shouted loudly.
"Sister Tingzhen, you don't care about us, we must kill that big firebird!" Mei Xiaolu shouted loudly among the war beasts. Although he is not very old, he actually knows that this armored war beast may not be able to deal with the big firebird, but they must go. At this time, almost all the Great Qin Jin people and Zongsheng-level masters were fighting against the powerful Shura Demon Emperor and the hateful Shura Demon Army in the north, and if this continued, I don't know how many people would be killed by that big firebird.
Anyway, his sister is a beautiful woman, and his future brother-in-law is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in China, and he is the person who has changed the whole of China and even the whole world. The people in front are still fighting against the Shura Demon Emperor and the powerful demon army, and even if they want to turn around, it's too late.
In the face of this huge crisis, in the face of the burned capital and the lost people, how could he retreat?
Ignoring Zhao Tingzhen's interception, the armored war beast jumped towards the burning Haojing, and the huge black shadow crossed over Zhao Tingzhen, rushing towards the capital desperately......
