At dusk, the dock outside Jiangling City looked particularly abnormal.

Normally, this place should be bustling with traffic and boats.

But today, there was no one on the pier, and the ship's berth was empty.

However, the city of Jiangling was filled with hustle and bustle.

Countless people were escorted by soldiers and headed outside Jiangling City.

A war is imminent. There are 70,000 to 80,000 people in Jiangling City. If they are not evacuated at this moment, once a war breaks out, it will be a hidden danger.

The people, dragging their families with them, headed towards the three city gates one after another. On the streets, shouts, wailings and cries could be heard all the time.

"Your Highness, in half an hour, all the people will be evacuated."

Wang Qinghe came over sweating profusely, clasped his fists and said.[

"Speed ​​up."

Liu Xia said.

"As commanded."

Immediately, Wang Qinghe left in a hurry.

"The fortifications in the city have been completed. However, we have limited time, so I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

Duan Lingxiao said.

"No matter, anything is better than nothing. This time we are fighting the Japanese pirates in close combat. It is not like the usual offensive and defensive battles. And without Huangpujie's water support, I'm afraid it will be a hard battle. I will personally mobilize the generals in a while, you go first

Get ready."

Liu Xia said.

"As you command!"

Immediately, Duan Lingxiao left.

"Your Highness, Huangpujie Navy has arrived at Longya Port. It is replenishing supplies at the moment. After replenishing supplies, it will set off towards Star Island."

Zhang Zong said.

"Got it. Go tell Huang Pujie about the situation in Jiangling's battle. He is not allowed to leave Xingdao. He is our last bargaining chip."

Liu Xia said.

"Little one understands."[

After saying that, Zhang Zong left in a hurry.

Liu Xia looked at the afterglow of the setting sun at the port, which dyed the sea into a golden color. Seabirds were circling in groups, creating a peaceful scene.

Liu Xia has become accustomed to this kind of calm before the storm.

I'm afraid this fierce battle tonight won't be easy.

Immediately, Liu Xia turned around and headed towards the center of Jiangling City.

About an hour later, Jiangling City gradually fell into silence.

Most of the people have left the city to take refuge, and at this moment, the officers and soldiers of the southeastern border guard army have gathered on the streets of Jiangling City.

The shortcomings of the east dock meant that they had no city walls to defend, and they had to face the dazzling fire of enemy warships and cannons. Street fighting was the only way to protect Jiangling.

The sea breeze is strong, and the flags on the platform are about to be lit, and they are blowing loudly.

More than 30,000 soldiers gathered on the streets around Dianjiangtai, creating a majestic sight.

Liu Xia put on his military uniform and climbed onto the general stage.

Looking at the southeastern border guards fighting in the sea breeze, I took a deep breath.

"Sirs, the imperial court has been raising troops for thousands of days. Today is the time for you to reimburse your family and country. Like you, I am also full of fear at this moment, but like you, I am afraid of the coming of death. However, we are soldiers. We

Our duty is to protect our home. Now, the pirates are outside the door. They may kill them at any time and at any time. And we have no way to retreat. Because, outside the city, are our relatives, and here are us.

home

.Without these, what’s the point of our lives? Hot-blooded men, fighting bloody battlefields. Perhaps, people will not remember our names. But, they will always remember everything we sacrificed here. Today, even if we fight to the last soldier,

, I will not even take one step away from Jiangling. If you are willing to defend Jiangling with me, then pull out your weapons, show your blood, and fight to the death with these pirates! The southeastern border guard army will definitely win!"

Liu Xia raised her arms and shouted.

"We must win. We must win, we must win!"

Immediately, the shouts of the defenders in Jiangzhou City resounded through the sky.

“Stick to JMC!”

Liu Xia raised her arms and shouted.

“Stick to JMC!”

Immediately, wave after wave came overwhelmingly.

————————————————————————

The crescent moon hung in the sky, a dark cloud blocked the moonlight, and then the entire sea became dark.

Khanna stood on the deck and looked at Jiangling from a distance.

He has been eyeing this city for a long time, and he still remembers the scene when he first set foot on the Dragon Soul Continent as a traveler twenty years ago.

At that time, he was only sixteen years old. When he was in the sect, he heard people talk about how rich the Dragon Soul Continent was. However, when he set foot on this continent in person, he was still shocked by the sight before him.

He will always remember the scene when he was standing at Jianglingcheng Pier.

The Jiangling in front of him was paradise to him.

Later, he and his master went to Longdu. At that time, he really knew how big this world was.

However, during those days in Longdu, his master and his men were killed in a competition, and he has been living on the streets since then.

During those years, he suffered a lot of hardships and bullying.

The day he sadly left the Dragon Soul Continent, he was also at the dock of this city.

He looked back at the bustling Jiangling Wharf. At that moment, he secretly swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would return here.

After he returned to the sect, he worked hard and practiced hard. Fortunately, he was appreciated by Headmaster Duanshui Shui. During the seven years there, his cultivation level improved rapidly.

Originally, he had a chance to become the elder of Duan Shui Shui, but the day he stepped into the Saint, he had already left the sect and joined the pirates.

Over the years, with his cultivation and prestige, he quickly united the pirates of Ji Island and gradually grew into what it is today.

Now, when he saw the dimly lit Jiangling City again, he was filled with emotions.

But, fortunately, he is back.

However, this time his identity has changed.

Looting Jiangling was just one of his goals. What he wanted was to occupy this city forever.

Although he knew the chances were slim, he now saw hope.

"Touren, Mashan is about to enter Jiangling Pier."

Dai Bang smiled excitedly.

"Very good. Get ready to fire. I want to see how the Crown Prince of the Tianji Dynasty deals with us."

Having said this, Dai Bang shouted: "Get ready to fight!"

Immediately, all the ships slowly turned around and aimed their dark muzzles at Jiangling City in front of them.

At this moment, Jiangling City's lighthouse lit up with billowing bloody smoke, dazzling in the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the alarm bells in Jiangling City rang loudly and resounded throughout the sky.

"Haha, Jiangling, here I come!"

Kana laughed at this, then suddenly shouted angrily: "Fire."

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, the cannons on the battleship began to shoot out ripples of spiritual power crazily.

In the sky, hundreds of light beams were like meteors, piercing the sky and hitting Jiangling City at a very fast speed.

"boom……!"

Suddenly, mushroom clouds arose in Jiangling City, and a cold shock wave suddenly spread. Immediately, buildings in the city collapsed.

"Cum again!"

Kana smiled excitedly.

Suddenly, the second round of artillery attacks began.

In an instant, the city of Jiangling was filled with fire and beacon smoke billowing.
