"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The alarm sounded across the city, and the rapid sound of the bell broke the peace of Chang'an City.

The army quickly began to assemble under the city wall, Yang Hao heard the bell, his eyelids jumped wildly, he knew that it was time to finally come, put on his armor with the help of the guards, and rushed to the city wall.

"Chief!"

"Chief!"

After Yang Hao climbed the city wall, he ignored the officer's salute to him, and hurriedly looked into the distance.

Looking at the army of black pressure in the distance, the corners of Yang Hao's mouth twitched.

"This Ji Qi really looks down on us, and he actually sent so many people."

Looking at the endless army, Yang Hao estimated that there must be at least tens of thousands of people.

can gather an army of tens of thousands of people, in the land of China in this era, the Xia Dynasty is indeed a behemoth.

A thousand people against tens of thousands of people, if there was no defense of the city wall, Yang Hao had no intention of clashing with Xia Qi at all.

At this time, Xia Qi on the chariot was also looking at Chang'an City, and the embankment on the bank of the river aroused his great interest, and the bare fields next to the embankment proved that a large number of crops were planted here.

Xia Qi sneered, and began to swear in front of the army, listing the crimes of Daqi, and in the name of punishing the crime on behalf of heaven, listed Daqi as a heinous force.

And promised to break through Chang'an City, and the population and finances in it were taken by all the ministries.

If Xia Qi knew that the granary in the city had nearly one million catties of grain, I don't know if he would be able to say this sentence so easily.

Xia Qi didn't let go of the idea of Daqi at all, and didn't send any people to persuade him to surrender, in his opinion, this tribe that challenged his authority could only be calmed by directly erasing it from the surface, and when he was a mile away from the city wall, the army stopped and began to set up camp.

Looking at the black army outside the city, everyone was very nervous.

Compared with these armies, Chang'an City is like a fragile egg, which will be crushed at any time.

"Chief!"

Qu was a little nervous.

Yang Hao took a deep breath and said: "This battle is a matter of life and death for our clan, and it must be defended, since Xia Qi didn't even send people to persuade him to surrender, it proves that he is ready to slaughter the city."

Tell the soldiers, don't be lucky, surrender will only be worse, imagine their families, think about their land.

This battle coexisted with Chang'an.

”

The generals had solemn faces and conveyed Yang Hao's orders one after another.

Soon after, a roar of "live and die with Chang'an City" resounded in the sky.

In the city, he stayed at home nervously, holding a self-made wooden spear, looking in the direction of the city wall, and whispering this sentence.

"Brother, I'm afraid!"

The fern stood behind him with a pale face.

He touched her head, then looked at the woman and said, "Mother, you take the fern back to the house, and I will stay here." ”

"Yes, if the city is broken, the three of us will die here together, even if we survive, we are still slaves, so don't worry about us."

The woman seemed to read her son's thoughts, and said in a deep voice.

He was silent for a while and said: "I understand, mother, if the army can't stand it, I will go to help, if I die in battle, mother must not be sad, it is enough to have this year's happiness, if you are lucky enough to survive, my son will be filial piety in front of you." ”

The woman did not hear this, but nodded heavily, took the fern back to the house, found a firewood rack and put a clay pot on it, and began to boil water.

She couldn't do anything as a woman but boil some hot water to ward off the cold for the soldiers defending the city.

On the city wall, Yang Hao's face was as gloomy as water, because he had not only seen cavalry from the enemy, but also found that they had already begun to cut down trees.

This is a bad phenomenon, at this time, cutting down trees, in addition to building siege equipment, what else can be used.

He didn't know how Xia Qi was going to attack the city, but the last defeat in Wuhai probably reminded him that without a blind attack, it could be seen that the Xia Dynasty had prepared for the siege.

However, fortunately, Chang'an City has already dug a moat, and this line of defense can relieve a lot of pressure on Daqi.

The autumn night was very cool, but the people of Chang'an City made the officers and soldiers defending the city feel warm, and the people spontaneously took out the food at home and sent it to the city wall to contribute their meager strength.

Drinking warm boiling water to dispel the goodwill on their bodies, the officials persuaded the people to go back.

Song leaned against the battlement with his long sword, looked at the light of the fire on the wall, and muttered: "Brother, don't worry, I will avenge you, when I defeat the enemy and find that traitor, I will slash him, and if you become a star, please bless Daqi." ”

There was a lot of fire outside the city, and Yang Hao didn't know what the enemy was discussing, so he could only wait patiently for the enemy's attack.

The enemy is outnumbered, and going out of the city to fight is definitely the next strategy, and the only way is to defend to the death and wait for the opportunity.

In the early morning, it was foggy outside the city, Xia Qi still didn't attack, and Yang Hao didn't know what Xia Qi was paying attention to.

However, the longer it dragged on, the heavier Yang Hao's heart sank.

If Xia Qii started to attack the city without a brain, then the well-defended Chang'an City was not afraid of him, but now Xia Qi was obviously prepared.

Now that they haven't started to attack, maybe their siege equipment hasn't been finished yet, as long as their siege equipment is finished, the pressure on their side will definitely not be easy.

Yang Hao called the herald over.

"Ordered all the ministries to inspect the equipment for defending the city, and ordered the officials to be ready to transport supplies at any time, and let the doctors clear the place for rescue."

The herald received the order and hurriedly retreated.

The soldiers on the city walls were all on standby, staring at the enemy in front of them.

Xia Qi looked at the quiet city in front of him, his face gloomy.

The other party did not make a single move, obviously there was no intention of surrendering, although he had expected that this siege would be troublesome, but when he saw the moat around the city, he realized that he was still thinking a little simple.

At this time, a cunning opponent, Xia Qi was so oriented.

However, no matter how cunning his opponent was, in front of tens of thousands of troops, he still had the confidence to break through the city, capture the person who made him angry, and torture him to death by the most cruel means.

"Dada! Click! ”

The sound of hurried horses' hooves came, and a warrior dressed in animal skins turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Xia Qi and said, "After the Qiqi, no trace of the still clan was found. ”

Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Dongyi didn't get involved, obviously afraid of himself.

This is a good phenomenon, and if Dongyi dies down, he can deal with the enemy in front of him with all his strength.

"How's the equipment being built?"

Xia Qi asked.

"The ladder is being built, but to cross the ditch in front of the city, more planks need to be made, otherwise the warriors will not be able to rush under the walls."
