"Light the beacon fires!" Ling Yunzhi roared.

"Brothers, let's fight them! Even if I, Ling Yunzhi, die on the battlefield today, it will be a worthy death." Ling Yunzhi refused to back down.

The sounds of killing and shouting filled the air.

Soon, a raging fire broke out on the beacon tower.

Immediately afterwards, one beacon tower after another caught fire.

"Open the gates and let the army in."

"Ling Yunzhi, you are powerless to reverse the situation."

“Ling Yunzhi, we’ve been with you for so long, and you’ve never thought about the brothers.”

What kind of life are our brothers living here in the north? We should have surrendered long ago.

Ling Yunzhi was furious. He never expected that his comrades-in-arms, whom he considered his brothers-in-arms, would attack him.

Ling Yunzhi was covered in blood, some of it his, some of it from the other party.

Ling Yunzhi gasped for breath and said loudly, "You killed me, and the Liao cavalry charged into the Great Wall. Do you think they would let you go?"

Those who betrayed him completely disregarded his words.

"You ungrateful bastard, I gave you a chance and you couldn't seize it, you useless idiot."

"Ling Yunzhi, today is your death day, and this day next year will be your death anniversary."

"You're out of touch with reality, you don't deserve to live."

Ling Yunzhi fought and retreated, his sword was already chipped and dulled, and his body was covered in wounds.

The soldiers around him fell one by one.

Everyone who had previously been loyal to Ling Yunzhi was now saying the same thing to him.

Everyone hoped that Ling Yunzhi could make a clean getaway and find an opportunity to make a comeback.

"Brothers, I appreciate your kindness." Ling Yunzhi said with a sorrowful expression, "The country is destroyed and my family is gone. Where can I go? Where can I rise again?"

Ling Yunzhi watched as more and more Liao cavalry climbed the city walls and stormed in.

The door was opened.

The Liao cavalry surged in like a flood.

The 100,000 iron cavalry charged forward as if they were in an empty field. Without the natural barrier of the Great Wall, the Liao cavalry roared and charged forward.

On the city walls, Liao cavalry were rapidly climbing upwards everywhere.

They were densely packed, like ants.

Under the protection of the Liao cavalry, Xiao Tianyou rode a tall horse into the majestic Great Wall.

Seeing the raging flames and deafening battle cries everywhere, Xiao Tianyou nodded in satisfaction.

"Kill them all." Xiao Tianyou waved his hand. "Leave no one alive."

At Xiao Tianyou's command, the Liao cavalry swiftly launched an indiscriminate attack.

Any soldiers guarding the Great Xia Dynasty were to be killed without mercy.

Before the soldiers who betrayed Ling Yunzhi could even react, they all became ghosts under the scimitars of the Liao cavalry.

"What are you doing?"

"We have already pledged allegiance to you, so why are you still raising your swords against us?"

Liao cavalry: "Nonsense, what use is a traitor to his master?"

"Kill them all, leave no one alive."

Before these traitors could even celebrate, the Liao cavalry ruthlessly attacked them.

This greatly disappointed everyone, and it was too late for them to regret it.

Ling Yunzhi watched as hordes of people fell under the swords of the Liao cavalry, heartbroken yet utterly helpless.

"General, hurry!" Just then, a lasso flew over and landed on Ling Yunzhi.

With a whoosh, Ling Yunzhi was captured.

Several dozen cavalrymen escorted Ling Yunzhi out of the encirclement, galloping all the way to Longcheng.

…………

Inside the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Jiang Tian looked at these stunningly beautiful young girls and nodded in satisfaction.

All the girls were wearing clothes that he had redeemed from the system store.

Short skirts, tank tops, stockings, knee-high leather boots or high heels, bows...

These girls were already very beautiful, and with Jiang Tian's special styling, they looked absolutely stunning.

“Not bad, not bad,” Jiang Tian stroked his chin. “This way, we’ll definitely make a lot of money.”

The madam beamed with joy upon hearing this. She naturally understood what it meant to receive praise from Jiang Tian.

The madam swayed her waist, which was thicker than a water bucket: "Sir, could we possibly take your...you know...?"

“Franchising? Sure…” Jiang Tian readily agreed.

Just then, Luo Xiaohu rushed in: "Sir, something terrible has happened!"

"What major event could happen? The sky won't fall down."

"The beacon fires at the Great Wall are about to be lit, and the news will likely reach the capital soon."

"Isn't it just a Liao invasion?" Jiang Tian scoffed. "They think they can break through?"

"My lord, the Liao army has been at our gates for quite some time now, yet no beacon fires have been lit along the Great Wall... Does this mean...?"

"The Great Wall has fallen?" Jiang Tian rushed out quickly. "Prepare the vehicles, I'm going to Flying Fox City."

The madam chased after him, saying, "Sir, we haven't settled this matter yet, you can't leave."

"We'll talk about it next time."

The madam and top courtesan of Fengming Street stood on the street, watching Jiang Tian's convoy leave.

"Sir, you should go and return as soon as possible."

"My lord, all of us girls are waiting for you."

"Sir, if you care about the girls, you should come back sooner."

"Sir, please don't keep us waiting too long."

Jiang Tian lifted the car curtain: "Let's talk about it when I get back..."

...

Flying Fox City.

Han Xin and his men are ready to set off.

As soon as Jiang Tian's carriage entered the city, Han Xin and his men rushed over.

"My lord, the mighty pass of the Great Wall has been captured by the Liao cavalry."

"Is the information reliable?" Jiang Tian asked.

"It's reliable; it was discovered by our scout cavalry. The Liao people bribed the garrison."

"The army is advancing rapidly and will probably reach our Flying Fox City soon."

Jiang Tian frowned: "I'm not worried about that. I have you all, and I have Xiao Tianzuo as a hostage."

Han Xin: "My lord, I suspect that the enemy is risking everything to rush into the Great Wall in order to save someone."

"Han Xin, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Jiang Tian asked. "I, Jiang Tian, ​​don't like passive defense; I prefer to take the initiative and catch the enemy off guard."

"My lord's opinion is the same as mine," Han Xin said. "Reporting to my lord, I have completed the troop mobilization, and the Liao army has stormed the Great Wall."

Now is the time when they are overconfident and complacent. I estimate that the Liao army is burning, killing, and looting with impunity.

"Our army will surely defeat them decisively and make them flee in disarray."

Jiang Tian nodded: "This time I'll fight alongside you. I want to see what those Khitans have to be so arrogant about."

"My lord, there are no mercy on the battlefield. We cannot bear the responsibility if anything happens to you."

"Who asked you to take on this responsibility?" Jiang Tian smiled slightly. Ever since he beat up the village chief's family in Peach Blossom Village, he had discovered that eating the things produced by the system could significantly increase his physical strength.
