The Broken Iron City is in disrepair, the visible loopholes have been repaired, and some are hidden too deep to be detected in advance, such as the North City Gate, which is normal on the surface, but rotten on the inside and unable to withstand the blow.

The Hun cavalry shot several rounds of arrows to the city, sent more than 100 infantry, covered by long shields, and carried siege mallets to smash the door.

A team of Chu troops with a few logs to temporarily support the gate, but this is only an expedient measure, after finding that the north gate is easy to attack, the Huns immediately sent more infantry support, and the cavalry under the wall is also more and more, a little closer, bows and arrows have been able to shoot on the city wall, the Chu army is suppressed, it is difficult to attack the enemy outside the gate.

Compared with the big city in the Guannai, the Broken Iron City was shorter, and its initial role was only to gather grain and grass, and it was seriously underprepared in the face of the siege of the large army.

The war was not just a rain of guns and arrows, the soldiers of the Troop Battalion came in time, but the swords and guns in their hands were useless, they immediately dismounted, and under the arrangement of several generals, they moved earth and stones to block the north gate.

The Chu army showed excellent quality, thousands of people were constantly transporting earth and stones, not chaotic at all, as orderly as ants, more than a dozen generals stood in the middle, coordinating the team, and the soldiers carrying the earth and stones lined up from the right side to run forward, leaving the earth and stones behind, and the footsteps kept retreating from the left side.

But the speed of blocking the door was still a little slower, and when the king of the East China Sea led the Xungui battalion to arrive, there was a big hole in the door, and you could see the hideous appearance of the wooden mallet.

A small colonel came and asked the king of the East Sea and the children of the nobles to leave, the city gate is so big, there is no need for more manpower for the time being, they stand on the street and make a mistake.

The King of the East Sea and the others had no intention of staying, so they immediately turned around and went to the West City, where the battle was the fiercest, and they were politely stopped not far away, except for the King of the East Sea, no one else could go to the city casually.

The broken iron city is not large, and the number of nearly 30,000 defenders is not small, only thirty percent of the soldiers are defending on the city wall, most of them are busy under the wall, the road must be unimpeded, and a group of noble sons running around will only add to the trouble.

The king of the East China Sea climbed the wall alone, constantly making way for the soldiers up and down along the way, and at such a time, even if the emperor was there in person, he should not expect to be respected.

More than a dozen bloodied soldiers were carried down, and the screams continued, and the king of the East China Sea did not dare to go up any further, and no one paid attention to him anyway, so he hurriedly turned around, followed the soldiers who carried the dead and wounded, hurriedly got down, got on his horse and ran back to the general's mansion.

More than a hundred noble sons were waiting outside the gate, and there was no combat mission, but they were even more nervous.

"Follow me." The king of the East China Sea shouted, and ran towards the south gate without stopping, and all the noble sons and daughters got on their horses one after another and followed behind.

The south gate was relatively quiet, but the soldiers guarding here did not dare to be careless at all, and the walls and walls were waiting for them, and the king of the East Sea was given due courtesy here, and when he led several noble sons to the city, the soldiers made way for them.

The king of the East China Sea ran up to the city tower, looked to the west, and felt cold in his heart, he could not see the height of the mound from here, but the Huns had approached the city wall and were firing at each other with the Chu army, and the Chu army's crossbow did not have much advantage.

The king of the East China Sea didn't find Chai Yue, and even if he saw it, his confidence didn't increase much, and the drumming that had been rushing and slowing before became endless.

The Broken Iron City lasted until dark, and the King of the East China Sea himself came to a conclusion, and then looked south, the mountains towered, indifferent to the small battles in the world, how could there be a shadow of reinforcements?

The King of the East China Sea dragged over a noble disciple, "Take someone to Shenxiong Pass for help, let's go!" ”

"Yes......" The noble son replied in a panic, stumbling down with a few of his companions.

"Open the gates." The king of the East Sea said to the southern city guards who followed.

"Open the gates? General Chai ......"

"I am the king of the East China Sea, no matter what the general, you have to listen to my orders, open the door, let the messenger out, without reinforcements, we will all die here!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, and ordered the south gate to be opened.

A group instead of a few "messengers" rushed out of the Broken Iron City, and when they heard that there was an opportunity to escape, none of the more than 100 noble children remained, and they did not call their followers or bring dry food, so they rode away on horseback, and some even threw away their swords and helmets, just to reduce their weight a little.

"Close the gates." The king of the East China Sea ordered, standing on top of the tower, not looking anywhere, only staring at the group of noble children who ran farther and farther, there were many people he knew, who could be called friends, but the people who ran did not look back, and the people who watched did not care, the king of the East China Sea only wanted to know if the Huns would stop this group of people.

"You shouldn't trust people." The King of the East Sea muttered to himself, regretting that he did not flee sooner.

There was a large number of Huns in the wilderness to the southwest, far away, and after a while, the king of the East Sea saw a group of Hun cavalry heading towards the official road, and the speed did not seem to be fast, as if it could not stop the fugitives.

The King of the East China Sea held a heart, and for a while he was worried that his noble disciples would not be able to escape, and for a while he regretted that he did not flee with him, and he might have wasted the only opportunity.

Facts have proved that the Huns' estimation of the distance is much more accurate than that of the king of the East China Sea and the group of noble children, and more than 100 people ran out of only five or six miles to meet the Huns.

The Hun cavalry did not stop on the road, but walked side by side with the fleeers, thirty or fifty paces apart, and then calmly turned sideways to draw the bow and shoot arrows.

The fugitives and pursuers drove down a slope and were out of the view of the tower.

The king of the East China Sea was stunned, and the guards of the southern city who were standing on the side were also stunned, the more than 100 noble sons were all from families, and the death of the entourage around them would cause a lot of trouble, but at this time, it was harvested by the Huns like weeds, and the king of the East China Sea was much more ruthless than the general of Zhenbei.

Xungui's children did not appear again, but the Hun cavalry returned to the slope and drove along the official road towards the Broken Iron City.

This is also the habit of the Huns, who want to show off and demonstrate after killing the enemy.

The king of the East China Sea turned pale, and he didn't even have the heart to pretend to be calm, so he hurried downstairs, mounted his horse, and ran around the city alone, not knowing where he was going, he only felt that everywhere was safer than the city wall, but there was no place that was really worth reassuring.

"I'm going to be an emperor, I'm not going to die here." The King of the East Sea repeated this sentence as if he were negotiating with an invisible god.

I don't know how long I ran, but a group of cavalry came rushing towards me, and it was Chao Hua who took the lead, covered in dust, but with a spear in his hand.

"The North Gate is lost?" The East Sea King was taken aback.

"It's blocked." Chao Hua said loudly, although tired, but full of energy, "We want to support the South Gate." ”

"South Gate ......" the king of the East China Sea then remembered that a team of Hun cavalry was heading towards the south gate, and it should have arrived at this time, it seems that Chai Yue or a certain general got the news and was dispatching troops, "You don't have a bow and crossbow, not a ......"

A tribal soldier rode to the side of the King of the East Sea, forced his mount to change direction, and also ran towards the south gate, "Don't just look at the excitement, let's go together!" ”

The King of the East China Sea recognized this person, this was the reckless man who was both a small donkey and a big horse, others might just be joking, but he would really force the King of the East Sea to go to the battlefield.

"I'm not going to ......," cried the king of the East Sea, trying to turn his horse's head, but more cavalry followed, and no matter how hard he tried, the horse could only follow the group.

The training of the soldiers of the trilogy was indeed a little worse, and before they left the city, the formation was already out of order.

"Those big pieces of iron are really hard to smash." Martha was so excited that he felt like he had touched a big fish in the river alone, and scolded, "Why don't you go up early?" Let us carry the soil for a long time. ”

"Stupid, of course you have to wait for the Huns to gather before you can use it." Someone replied, Martha was not angry, and laughed.

It turned out that the north gate was also prepared.

"How's Xicheng doing? Started watering? The king of the East Sea asked loudly, but no one answered, and the soldiers had just left from the north gate, and they didn't know what was going on elsewhere.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to Xicheng......" shouted the king of the East Sea, but no one obeyed his orders, and the group of soldiers, who had just laid down the earth and stones, rushed impatiently to another battlefield, as if there was something good waiting for them to grab there.

The king of the East China Sea involuntarily went out of the city gate, and every time he tightened the reins, someone "kindly" slapped the horse behind him, making him even suspect that this was a murder plan arranged by Han Ruzi in advance.

The battle outside the city had already begun, one group of Chu troops went out of the city and forced back the Hun cavalry who came to demonstrate with their crossbows, and another group of spear and shield Chu troops set up temporary barricades in Luxi to prevent the Huns in the west of the city from taking advantage of the weakness.

The Buqu battalion merged with the cavalry of the Chu army, which had left the city before, and galloped south along the official road.

The king of the East China Sea was overjoyed, thinking that this was to escort him from the Broken Iron City, and he would not be reined in, but would speed up with the soldiers.

He glanced back, the city gate was closed again, and then looked west, the sun was half setting, and he couldn't see where the Hun army was, but he knew that there must be a force of Hun cavalry that was rapidly approaching the official road and wanted to stop them.

"Hurry up!" The king of the East China Sea appealed loudly, but the Chu army only advanced at the established speed, not slow, but not fast either.

In the distance, there was a trumpet and a wolf-like howl, and the Huns were really coming, and there were so many of them that the entire wilderness of Luxi seemed to be occupied by them.

The soldiers of the tribe battalion were not good at horse archery, and it was the accompanying Chu army that protected the flanks, and they immediately could not use crossbows, and they also used bows and arrows to shoot at the Huns.

The king of the East Sea lay on his horse, blindly galloping with the man in front of him, death so close, not like the Huns from the west, but like hanging above his head, only a few feet away from him, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't shake it off.

The soldiers in the front and rear suddenly roared, and the speed increased significantly.

The king of the East China Sea raised his head in surprise and found that the Chu army on the flank had entered the wilderness and was in a mess with the Huns, while the soldiers of the Troop were charging.

On a small high ground ahead, a large number of Hun sword and shield soldiers were building a temporary defensive line, and soon after they arrived, the horses stopped nearby, and they only had time to erect their long shields.

The soldiers rushed through the shields, raised their spears high, and stabbed them from above, and they were to let go at once whether they hit or not.

The king of the East Sea had no weapons in his hand, so he could only follow the people up the heights and down the slope.

At the top, he finally understood the purpose of his trip.

In the mountain pass in the south, a Chu army is rushing out, and this small high ground on the edge of the official road has suddenly become a battleground, and occupying this place can easily control the entire official road. (To be continued.) )
