It was built for four years.

August 10.

Changan.

In the huge palace located in the north of the city, through the incomparably thick haze, the first holy decree of Emperor Chu in the past six months was transmitted.

This holy decree completely shattered the last bit of illusion of all the people who were still alive in Chang'an.

After the scholars and doctors threatened to commit suicide, Emperor Chu was forced to reluctantly agree that the scholars and doctors would move their people into the imperial city to gather materials and guard them in a unified manner, and all the young people outside the imperial city must go up to the city wall to defend and supplement the strength of the defenders, waiting for the messenger to break through and summon the army of King Qin to rescue Chang'an.

Tens of thousands of Imperial Forest troops quickly occupied all the important areas of Chang'an City, sealing the originally neatly planned square areas one by one, and then tens of thousands of defenders frantically entered the pre-closed square areas and put everyone on the city wall, regardless of men, women and children.

After being forced to go up the city wall, they will be assigned to different positions on the city wall, becoming the first line of defense on the city wall, if the war starts, these civilians with wooden sticks and thin clothes will face countless arrows from the fire, as well as the fully armed Hun soldiers who may climb over the wall at any time, and behind them are the defender soldiers who are holding spears and pointing at the civilians, for a while the wailing, scolding, and begging for mercy on the city wall are endless, the scene is extremely chaotic, and despair and panic continue to spread on the wide city wall for dozens of miles.

In the middle of the night, eight hundred heavily armed knights slowly left under the gaze of Emperor Chu who had become red, rolling tears and full of expectation, and Emperor Chu, who clenched his fists and couldn't help trembling, stood alone on the tower of the tall imperial city, with a determined face, and the still immature Emperor Chu was gambling, betting on the last hope.

These 800 horsemen were the only trustworthy pro-army of the young emperor, and only these pro-soldiers could send the blood edict of King Qin written by him to the hands of the princes everywhere.

Six hundred of the eight hundred horsemen were heavily armoured, wearing red cloaks and spears shining with silver light. The remaining two hundred horsemen were all in black armor, and the mounts under them were strong and powerful, all of them were dark, with a horse's mouth and four hooves wrapped in cloth. In the dark, if there is no light, it is difficult to spot it close at hand.

After leaving the Suzaku Gate, the six hundred heavy armored cavalry mixed with two hundred black armored cavalry divided into six roads, and walked in the direction of their own preset city gates, silently, dead silence, no matter what kind of face was hidden under the face armor of the six hundred heavy armored cavalry, but the expression was definitely the same, the calmness before death and the decisiveness as a bait.

The military camp of hundreds of thousands of Huns, which had been quiet for half a month, was very quiet in the cool night of early autumn, but this quiet and harmonious illusion was opened at the same time at the moment when the city gates in the six directions of Chang'an were opened, and the long and huge horn sound resounded throughout Chang'an City and the Xiongnu military camp that besieged Chang'an like an iron bucket.

When the horn of the sudden attack sounded, Liu Yao, the main general of the Huns who was sleeping, quickly woke up, and rushed out of the tent before he could put on his clothes, and under the protection of the elite soldiers who had already gathered to guard, Liu Yao climbed a watchtower, and at night, the fire was raging in the three directions of the southeast and west.

Liu Yao, who was shirtless, felt a little hairy in his heart, could it be true that there was a Qin Wang Jun sneaking around behind him? Defeated by Suo Qi two years ago, they were all tricks by employing people, and now Liu Yao and Shi Le have steadily occupied all the cities under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, if there is a large army to rescue, they will have received a war report a long time ago.

After a while, a sentry horse galloped over, quickly dismounted and knelt on the ground to report: "General Qiyu, Emperor Jin sent nearly a thousand heavy armored iron cavalry to take advantage of the late night, divided into six directions to rush the camp, the weather is dry, the camps in these six directions have been ignited, and the heavy armor of the camp has been ambushed, but all the battalions have reported that dozens of black horsemen secretly broke out after the heavy cavalry rushed to the camp, disappeared, and each battalion has sent light cavalry to chase after it. ”

After hearing what was going on, Liu Yao sighed softly and said to himself: "At the end of the strong crossbow, why bother and mourn." ”

At dawn the next day, Liu Yao's big tent was already full of dozens of battalion commanders who were strong and stubborn, and after Liu Yao issued a military order to capture Chang'an by a deadline, the entire Xiongnu camp quickly operated. There was countless smoke, people were boiling, and hundreds of thousands of troops were preparing for the final battle at the same time.

At the same time, came to the tower of Chang'an City to watch the battle, the emperor Sima Ye, who had not slept all night, originally had a look of expectation after seeing the horns from the endless enemy camp outside the moat, his heart almost collapsed, looking at the Hun camp running at full speed, the young and immature emperor quickly returned to the palace like ashes, and then shot with Suo Qi for Shang Shu, Governor Chang'an guarded the military, Qu Yun guarded the inner city of the palace for the governor and hussar general, resolutely resisted, and waited for help.

The young emperor sitting alone on the dragon chair in the empty hall, looking at the dark and silent hall with blank eyes, seems to be in his memory that not long ago, he had just ascended the throne, he was full of spirit, pointing out the country, and he was the only one. Sima Ye, who had been trembling a little, gradually calmed down in his fantasies, thinking in his heart, this time, it will also be the same victory, the black horse has successfully broken through, and the army of the million Qin King will definitely come.

Suddenly, a long horn of attack resounded throughout the silent Chang'an City, followed by the horn company, and the sound of woo~woo~ pierced the sky.

Subsequently, the city walls in the four directions of Chang'an heard a neatly rhythmic, calm and heavy war drum.

Knock~knock~knock~

The sound of the drum is majestic, shocking, under the infection of a huge drum sound, the original heart of the civilian youth with the drum, again and again clenched the weapons in their hands, the fear in their hearts decreased little by little, as the soldiers behind him encouraged and promised to be promoted and rich, constantly stimulated by words, the fear became less and less, but became a little eager to stab out the feeling of the wooden gun.

On the city wall, the blood is gradually boiling, the people's hearts are rapidly condensing, and the war is about to break out.

--------------------------------------------

Jiang Ge led the people of Chang'an Jiang Mansion after scattering all their wealth, and finally got special care, and they could return to the imperial city after holding on for three days, thinking that over the years the Jiang family's offerings, those scholars and doctors could look at the face of boxes of gold and silver to protect the Jiang family's dozens of people into the imperial city to guard. Unexpectedly, the officials in charge of arresting Ding smiled and the polite scholars counted the gold and silver and said casually: "Chang'an's current market is a bucket of rice and gold, and you can get food, let alone enter the imperial city, you can do it out of the city." A little yellow and white things, redo military funds, and only hold on for three days is already a great favor, so be content. ”

In desperation, Jiang Ge instructed Fu Bo to open the granary and weapons store, and distribute the last bit of bread and grain to the servants, and the excellent armor and weapons in the armory were neatly equipped with more than fifty people, and then followed a group of defenders to the city wall to divide the guarded territory.

In the night of the heavy armor and iron cavalry rushing to the camp, Jiang Ge stronger than the average person's eyesight in the middle of the night saw a rough idea, just guarding the south gate, there were two teams of heavy cavalry mixed with dozens of black horsemen after opening the city gate, a few breaths to complete the formation, and then gradually speed up, slammed into the Hun camp, and then ignited the tent and other flammable materials, causing chaos, then like a god of killing, he stepped back and forth in the camp like a killing god, until he fell from exhaustion and died.

The first time I saw the real heavy cavalry sneak attack and kill the enemy, it was more exciting than any interpretation story, and the blood was boiling, and I wished that I was also a part of it, the people and horses were covered with heavy armor, and the spears stood up, and the blood-red cloak loomed in the dark night when charging and running, and the golden iron horse, the gun came out like a dragon, like entering a no-man's land, showing the true colors of the hero.

Jiang Ge, who was originally a little scared and worried, after watching the entire process of rushing into the formation and successfully covering the black-armored black horse's reporting scout breaking out of the encirclement with golden eyes, the uneasiness in his heart had disappeared, and he was more excited and eager to try.

Early the next morning.

On the city wall, Jiang Ge, who was still asleep against the wall, was awakened by a loud and long horn, and a spirit quickly got up and looked at the wasteland outside the moat under the city wall.

If you look closely, you can see the shield soldiers holding the huge wooden shield in front, followed by the thick-armored soldiers carrying the ladder, and finally the light-armored infantry with scimitars, about a thousand people forming a siege echelon, between which there are cavalry patrolling back and forth on large horses.

In addition to the conventional siege phalanx, there are also rushing cars, stone throwers and other squads that use equipment, but unfortunately the siege equipment is extremely simple, and the damage is not very large, for a Xiongcheng like Chang'an, these shoddy equipment has little direct threat.

A nation that is good at riding and archery has a natural weakness in siege warfare.

Jiang Ge, who was hunched and hiding by the city wall, observed the various details of the Huns one by one, the arrangement of troops, equipment and equipment, military discipline efficiency, etc., and remembered them one by one.

Like other civilians on the city wall, when the rhythm of the city wall defenders sounded in unison, the oppression brought by the hundreds of thousands of troops that were rapidly gathering under the city quietly disappeared in the drumbeat again and again, followed by an accelerated beating pulse, and gradually scorching blood.

Fu Bo stood behind Jiang Ge wearing leather armor and holding a half-human-high giant shield in his hand, and the other dozens of domestic servants had already formed an excellent protective circle in a short distance of five zhang, including Fu Bo, everyone knew what the Huns gathered under the city wanted to do, and everyone also knew that they knew their mission clearly.

Outside the city, the horns continued one after another, and the war drums on the city walls also resounded in the sky.

Suddenly, three consecutive crisp arrows shot out from the Xiongnu camp outside the city in the north of the palace, the sharp roar pierced the sky, the four directions outside the city of Chang'an, the horns sounded in unison, under the city of Chang'an, the dust was flying, and the arrows that covered the sky and the sun flew densely in the direction of Chang'an City, and the huge stone thrower threw out huge stones one by one and slammed into the tall city wall that had been baptized by the fire of war countless times, and the burning stone ball dragged the long black smoke through the blue sky and smashed into the city wall or the city, and everywhere it went became powder and meat puree, Instant ignition if touched.

Jiang Ge, who was still high-spirited before, had already hid under the solid stone battlements of the city wall when the first batch of feather arrows flew, and Fu Bo beside him nervously held a huge shield in front of him and Jiang Ge, leaning against the city wall behind him.

With a chill in his heart, he listened to the wails not far away from him, the stumps and broken arms and blood that could be seen everywhere, and fear was gradually eating away at the newly established morale of the defenders on the city wall.

On the city walls, death and fear shrouded it.

Under the city walls, the enemy has approached the city.
