On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The tenth day of the second month of the second year of Shenghui.

After several days of turbulence at sea, the huge fleet of the Daqian Beiyang Navy finally arrived at the west coast of Goguryeo, and its spearhead was aimed directly at its important city - Haizhou City.

This city is the western gateway of Goguryeo. The city walls are high and the moats are deep. There are about 10,000 defenders. They defend the city by relying on the high terrain and try to block the Daqian army from the coast.

In the early morning, the sea fog had not yet dissipated, and the cold sea breeze blew up the fine sand and beat against the long coastline.

Countless landing boats, like arrows shot from a bow, broke through the waves of the shallows and crashed heavily into the beach.

The elite infantry of Daqian, clad in heavy black armor, surged onto the shore like a tide, quickly forming into formations, their swords and spears like a forest, flashing coldly in the morning mist.

Further away, the huge warships were like floating mountains, with their side guns pointed at the distant Haizhou city wall.

Murong Yan did not stay on the safe flagship.

After the vanguard troops successfully established a beachhead, she insisted on going to the front line in person.

A majestic black warhorse was carefully transported ashore. Murong Yan climbed onto the horse and put on the luxurious and warm black and gold mink shawl. Under the shawl, she was still wearing the black and gold Su brocade cotton nightgown with the pattern of "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" - the "Divine Phoenix Descent Skirt", and on the outside she covered it with a neatly tailored black and gold Su brocade riding and shooting style shawl that was easy to ride.

In order to adapt to battlefield operations, the five-meter-long Su Jin tail was carefully folded and tied up, but a section still hung messily behind the saddle. As the warhorse moved, it dragged a thrilling ink-gold trail on the beach and the subsequent mud.

Under the hazy light of the early morning on the coast, the Phoenix Dress presents a strange look that both conflicts and blends with the battlefield environment.

The extremely dark black Su Jin base material absorbs the faint light, and its color is as calm as iron. The golden cotton wool and real gold thread woven into it emit a cold and hard dark gold luster, echoing the soldier's armor in the distance.

Above the nightgown, the giant phoenix was galloping on a warhorse, as if it was about to burst out of the clothes at any time, carrying with it the murderous aura of the battlefield.

The wide and light bell sleeves were gathered into the cuffs of her riding and archery uniform. She held the reins tightly with her left hand, and the black jade ring on her thumb looked particularly cold in the solemn atmosphere.

The softness of cotton and the concept of nightgown are given the symbolic meaning of tenacity and perseverance on this iron-blooded battlefield.

The black and gold mink cape protected her from the cold coastal wind. The fur swayed slightly in the wind, looking luxurious and majestic.

Lin Zhen, wearing heavy black iron armor, holding a long spear, riding a chestnut horse, guarded her closely, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes for any possible danger.

His Majesty the Emperor's presence at the front in such attire is both a great encouragement and a huge risk.

The army advanced rapidly to within three miles of Haizhou City, where they formed their battle array. Atop the walls, the Goguryeo defenders were in full formation, arrows, rolling logs, and rocks clearly visible. The figure of the general lingered behind the battlements, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

Murong Yan reined in her warhorse and stood under the central army's banner. She raised a slender hand, wearing a leather gauntlet.

Behind him, the command flag is waving!

“Boom! Boom! Boom—!”

The warships anchored at sea fired thousands of cannons!

The black shells flew across the sky like a swarm of death bees, slamming heavily into the walls and tops of Haizhou City with a shrill scream!

Suddenly, bricks and stones flew everywhere, smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the howling of ghosts and wolves could be heard from the top of the city!

Had the Goguryeo defenders ever seen such fierce artillery fire?

I was stunned in an instant!

After the artillery fire covered the area, the Daqian infantry phalanx began to advance forward with neat and heavy steps.

The shields are like walls, the spears are like forests, and the archers follow closely behind, full of murderous intent!

The defenders on the city wall barely recovered from the initial chaos, and arrows fell like raindrops, but in the face of Daqian's solid shield formation and armor, they had little effect.

Siege vehicles and ladders quickly approached the city wall, and the brutal battle to climb the city wall began!

Murong Yan sat upright on her horse, watching the bloody fight in front of her with an expressionless face.

The sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and dying wails were endless.

She looked extremely intently, as if appreciating a magnificent painting, and only her occasional frown showed that she was not indifferent.

Lin Zhen always stayed by her side, watching vigilantly for stray arrows and any possible attacks.

The battle lasted for about an hour. The Daqian soldiers had breached many places on the city wall, but the Goguryeo defenders resisted extremely tenaciously. The two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war on the city wall, resulting in heavy casualties.

Murong Yan's patience seemed to be gradually running out.

She took down a phoenix-beaked spear from the victory hook beside the saddle. It was ornately decorated but clearly a combat weapon.

The tip of the gun glowed with a cold luster under the gloomy sky.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Zhen saw her intention and spoke quickly.

"I will go there myself." Murong Yan's voice was calm, yet filled with unquestionable determination. "I cannot just stand back and watch as soldiers bleed."

After saying that, she squeezed the horse's belly and rushed towards the front!

Lin Zhen was shocked and hurriedly led his personal guards to follow!

His Majesty the Emperor personally charges!

This news was like the most effective stimulant, instantly igniting the fighting spirit of all Daqian soldiers!

The shouts of "Long live His Majesty!" resounded throughout the battlefield. The soldiers were like being injected with chicken blood, and the offensive suddenly intensified!

Murong Yan rode her horse directly to the bottom of the most sturdy ladder!

She dismounted with such agility that she didn't look like a woman who had lived in the palace for a long time!

The messy, dark-gold tail swept across the muddy ground, stained with blood and dust.

"Protect His Majesty!" Lin Zhen shouted sternly, and personally guarded the ladder with a spear in hand.

Murong Yan, holding a spear, actually climbed up the ladder!

Her figure, set against the backdrop of the dark gold nightgown and the luxurious shawl, became an extremely eye-catching and strange scene on the smoke-filled battlefield!

The Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were so stunned that they even forgot to shoot arrows!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, more Daqian soldiers rushed to the top of the city!

As soon as Murong Yan stepped onto the battlement of the city wall, a fierce Goguryeo general rushed over with a sword in hand!

Her phoenix eyes turned cold, without dodging or evading, she accurately picked up the blocks with her phoenix-beak spear and swept them away!

The spear tip slashed across the opponent's throat, drawing out a spray of hot blood! The action was clean and neat, without any delay!

Without stopping, she brandished her spear, charging into the enemy ranks! Her divine phoenix dress fluttered amidst the flashes of swords and sabers, her black and gold mink cape fluttering in the fray. She was like a magnificent killer descending upon the battlefield, and wherever she went, Goguryeo soldiers fell to the ground! Her martial arts might not be as domineering as Lin Zhen's, but she was superior in precision, ruthlessness, and an untouchable majesty!

Lin Zhen followed closely behind her, like her shadow, eliminating all threats around her.

The emperor and the empress, one the main and one the assistant, set off a bloody storm on the city wall!

The morale of the Daqian soldiers was so high that they finally crushed the will of the defenders.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the defender of Haizhou City tried to escape, but was shot in the calf by Lin Zhen and captured alive.

Just after noon, on the top of Haizhou City, the remaining Goguryeo flag was thrown down, and the huge holy phoenix flag slowly rose and fluttered in the wind amid the cheers of countless soldiers!

Murong Yan stood alone at the highest point of the city wall, overlooking the gradually subsiding war in the city.

Her black and gold mink cape was splattered with blood, and the hem and train of her nightgown were in a mess, stained with mud and blood.

A cold wind blew, ruffling her hair and the fluff on her shawl.

Lin Zhen walked over to her and reported the battle situation in a low voice: "Yan'er, Haizhou City has been conquered. We killed 8,000 enemies and captured over 2,000. Our army suffered 3,000 casualties."

Murong Yan nodded slightly, her gaze still looking into the distance, where was the heartland of Goguryeo.

She slowly said, "Pass the order, bury the fallen soldiers with honor and properly accommodate the wounded."

Her voice was a little tired, but more of it was cold and resolute.

At this moment, she seemed to hear the terrified cries of the people coming from somewhere in the city. Her brows knitted slightly, and the moment she turned around—

The action is accompanied by reflection and new resolution after victory!

The blood-stained, messy, dark-gold train and shawl hem were suddenly lifted up by the swift rotation!

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes examining its spoils, it swept across the blood-stained ground of the city wall with a swish!

As the tail suddenly floated up, the densely woven golden lining inside was revealed. It was still dazzling in the bleak post-war sky, as if it condensed the glory of victory!

The pattern of a hundred phoenixes facing the sun shone in an instant, golden light flowed, noble and brilliant, with the unquestionable attitude of a conqueror who had broken through the enemy's first line of defense!

The hem of her skirt fell, covering up the golden light and the cruelty of the battlefield.

Murong Yan walked down the city wall.

Her steps were steady and firm on the steps covered in rubble and blood.

The divine phoenix dress, though stained with the filth of the battlefield, further demonstrated the authority and power of its owner.
