The night in the north was still a little chilly, the cloak on his body was whistling, Han Ruzi pressed his hands against the wall, and glanced at the military camp in the distance, where there were few lights, as if it was a small village with only a dozen families, but it could bring hope to the lost travelers to come back to life.

The night breeze blew on his face, Han Ruzi was motionless, the so-called city patrol was just an excuse, he wanted to come out for a walk, although the sound of the piano can cause generosity and sadness in his heart, but only when he really walked out of the room, could he have a sense of "generosity and sadness".

Cui Teng hid behind the wall, he asked a few friends to plan a night drink, and now the plans have all been disrupted, "It's really cold in the north, has Your Majesty been to Linzi?" ”

"Probably not." Han Ruzi was born in the East China Sea Kingdom, not too far from Linzi, the capital of Qi Kingdom, but he didn't remember that he had ever been to that city.

"I went to Linzi a few years ago, Linzi is a good place, to say that the city is thick and deep, it is definitely not as good as Beijing and Luoyang, but more than half of the city is shops, and it may not be able to finish shopping in half a year. Luoyang out of the kabuki, Linzi out of the maiko, tsk, that figure, that dancing, so beautiful that people even forget to drink the wine in their hands. ”

Cui Teng wrapped his cloak tightly, his face was flushed, it was really like drinking a jar of good wine.

Han Ruzi looked at the night in the distance, "In this way, the people who sell alcohol definitely don't like Maiko." ”

"Uh...... No, although the wine is forgotten to drink, it is raised in the hands and flows to the ground, and the seller still collects money. Alas, Your Majesty has taken himself too closely to appreciate the benefits of wine and sex, I tell you...... I'll not say anything about it. Cui Teng suddenly woke up, if the emperor is explained now, the first person to be lucky is probably Zhang Qinyan, which is a huge loss for him.

Han Ruzi didn't pay attention to Cui Teng's ghostly thoughts, he just secretly sighed that the country is vast, and after walking for so long, he only passed through a small place, and it would take more than ten years to tour the world like Emperor Wu, and he didn't have Emperor Wu's capital, so he had to wait for the treasury to be full and the people to live in peace before he could visit the famous mountains and rivers.

This is the country of Da Chu and his own country, Han Ruzi's feeling cannot be told to outsiders, so he can only feel it silently.

"Your Majesty, the Huns...... Probably not tonight, let's ...... tomorrow Let's patrol the city again. "The fantasies about Linzi City are not enough, and Cui Teng urgently needs a few real hot wines.

Han Ruzi leaned forward, Cui Teng was startled, and hurriedly turned around and grabbed one of the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty be careful." ”

Han Ruzi pointed to a little moving light in the distance, "When you come to Jincheng late at night, there must be something important." ”

"Then let's go and wait in the castle tower."

The city gate tower is three floors up, and the people inside have seen the rapidly approaching light, and the gatekeeper is looking out of the window on the second floor, and when he heard that "His Majesty is coming", he hurriedly knelt on both sides with more than a dozen soldiers, and Han Ruzi ordered them to get up, what should they do, he stood at the door with the guards, and wanted to hear the first-hand news.

When the light reached the city gate, someone shouted, "Open the door!" Emergency military intelligence! ”

In normal times, the gatekeeper would not talk nonsense, at most he would have taken a look, and then ordered the door to be opened, but the emperor was watching from behind, he didn't dare to act perfunctory, endured the fire on his back, and asked seriously: "Where did it come from?" So what's going on? Which one do you want to meet? ”

The people under the city replied impatiently: "Mayi City asks for help, and I will see whoever can call the shots in the city." ”

The gatekeeper frowned slightly, even if it was a hundred thousand urgent military information, the messenger's tone was too arrogant, but he couldn't get angry, turned his head and glanced at the emperor with his spare eyes, and replied: "I'll send someone to open the door, and you prepare the military card and military signature for inspection." ”

"Hurry up, the military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay!"

The general was even more embarrassed, but he still didn't dare to attack, and was about to order someone to open the city gate, Han Ruzi said: "Tell him that the emperor is here, and let him talk about the military situation first." ”

The general hurriedly turned around, bowed down to obey the order, and then said to the city gate: "Your Majesty is here, you have an urgent military situation, let's talk about it now, Mayi City has been attacked by the Huns?" ”

There was silence outside for a while, "Emperor Dachu is by your side?" ”

"That's right, let's talk about it quickly." The general accentuated his tone, faintly feeling that this person was a little strange.

"I don't believe you, let me take a look at the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, the general no longer had to be nervous, and reprimanded: "Who are you, dare to be so rude? ”

Han Ruzi was about to step forward, Cui Teng stopped him, walked to the window by himself, pushed the general away, pondered for a moment, and scolded: "Bastard bastard, I don't know the depth of things, if you want to reply, you will reply, and dare to make a request, can you see the emperor?" Eating too much horse manure and not knowing who you are? Don't get down on your knees yet. Whoever brings the bow and arrows......"

Even the goalkeeper felt that it was too much, thinking that a favored minister is a favored minister, and the Cui family's power is stronger than before.

Han Ruzi was very dissatisfied, and thought that Cui Teng could say something, but it turned out that he was just scolding, and was about to open his mouth to stop it, Cui Teng said in surprise: "Huh? What is this? He actually ran away. Hold it! I command you to stop! I am the son of the great general Cui Hong, and you dare - he really dared, and ran across the bridge. ”

Cui Teng turned to look at the emperor, with a look of disbelief, he had scolded countless people, and he had never encountered such a situation.

Han Ruzi strode to the window, and sure enough, the messenger had already run across the moat, threw the torch in his hand onto the road, and galloped away.

"Notify the Northern Army camp immediately." Han Ruzi ordered.

"Yes...... What's notified? "The goalkeeper is still confused.

"There is a foreign enemy...... Before Han Ruzi's words fell, an arrow suddenly shot from the outside, although it was not accurate enough, it hit the city wall, but it startled everyone.

It turned out that a group of people had been lying in ambush under the dirt slope on the other side of the moat, and at this time they rushed to the bridge, shooting arrows at the castle tower as they ran, and there were many people in the dark.

Cui Teng threw the emperor to the ground and shouted, "Escort!" Escort! ”

Han Ruzi pushed Cui Teng away, and said to the general who rushed over: "Notify the northern army and order to defend the city." ”

The gatekeeper knew what to inform this time, and stomped upstairs, and after a while, the horn sounded, long and short, which was to inform the Northern Army camp outside the city, and also to warn the whole city.

Han Ruzi stood up and said to the guards with him: "Go and pass on the generals of each battalion and see me on the city wall." ”

Several guards were ordered to retreat, and Han Ruzi also walked upstairs, but Cui Teng stopped again, "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, let's go down." ”

"Get out of the way." Han Ruzi said sharply, he didn't even know what was going on outside, and he would never leave immediately.

Cui Teng had to get out of the way and followed closely behind the emperor, some of the guards followed, and some of them guarded the lower floor.

The soldiers on the top floor had already blown the horn and were waiting for a response from outside the city, and the gatekeeper was so anxious that he turned back and forth, not knowing what to do next, and as soon as he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down.

There are pillars and cornices on the top floor, there is no closed wall, it is open on all sides, Han Ruzi stands by the female wall and looks out, Cui Teng and others are tightly protected on both sides.

There are not many sneak attackers, only dozens of people, at this time they all gathered on the bridge of the moat, shooting arrows at the city gate tower, and some people seem to be hitting the door, the top floor is high, and there is no worry for the time being, but the arrows are shot randomly in the night, Cui Teng and the others are still frightened, in case the emperor is rubbed a little skin, they can not afford this responsibility.

A low horn sounded from the northern military camp in the distance, and the gatekeeper listened for a while and explained: "The northern army has discovered the enemy's traces. ”

Han Ruzi could see that the fires in the camp of the Northern Army were rapidly increasing, dozens, hundreds, more and more, connected together.

There were also soldiers on the walls, not many of them, who gathered above the doorway and shot arrows downwards to force the people on the bridge back.

"Go and inform the other gates, and all sections of the city walls must be inspected at all times." Han Ruzi continued to order.

"Yes, yes......" The gatekeeper hurriedly went downstairs and took the soldiers of his headquarters to give orders.

This sneak attack was unexpected, Jincheng didn't even send scouts, and even let the enemy touch the city gate, if it weren't for Cui Teng's whim, it was likely that even the city gate would have been lost.

"You've done a job." Han Ruzi took the time to say.

"Huh?" Cui Teng looked dazed, and thought for a while before saying: "It is my duty to pounce on Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty doesn't blame me for being rude." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head and continued to look outside, the sneak attackers retreated, but the supporters had already arrived, all of them were cavalry, extremely fast, and they didn't light torches, whistling back and forth in the dark.

"They are Huns!" Even Cui Teng could hear it, "How is this possible?" Mayi City and checkpoints have been lost? Why haven't we gotten any news? ”

Han Ruzi couldn't guess the reason, but he knew that this was by no means an ordinary attack on the city, the previous messenger was obviously a Chu person, but he worked for the Huns, and the enemy came prepared, but there were only thousands of soldiers and horses inside and outside Jincheng.

Han Ruzi turned to the trumpet-blowing soldier and said, "Order the northern army to retreat into the city." ”

The soldier, who had never seen the emperor so closely, was so nervous that he could not speak, nodded, and after three successive drums, finally blew the horn.

The howling outside the city became louder and louder, and I couldn't tell how many Hun cavalry there were, and some of them could shoot strong bows, probably because they heard that the emperor was above the city gate tower, shooting arrows frantically, and Han Ruzi could only get out of the way.

The sound of the horn was drowned in the whistling, and I don't know if the Northern Army heard it. The soldiers did not dare to stop, blowing over and over again.

The drums around the city beat one after another, indicating that there were enemies everywhere.

Fan Bangshan was the first to arrive, strode upstairs, and before he could speak, Han Ruzi said: "Lead your soldiers to guard inside the door, ready to meet the northern army outside." ”

Fan Bangshan responded and turned to go downstairs.

The generals of the guard battalion then arrived, and Han Ruzi asked them to gather the soldiers of their own battalion, ready to support the overstressed city gate at any time.

The generals of Jincheng came the latest, and Deng Cui, the acting governor of the country, was locked up in prison, and the generals were leaderless, so they were even more panicked.

Han Ruzi personally commanded and sent soldiers to each city gate, and sent people to patrol back and forth on the city wall to prevent enemy troops from climbing the wall.

Cui Teng persuaded again, Han Ruzi still refused to go downstairs, he was waiting for the Northern Army to respond, although he was caught off guard, he understood one thing in a very short time: the most important thing at the moment is not to repel the enemy army, but to save the Northern Army outside the city as much as possible, and not let them die in vain.

As long as they hold out until noon tomorrow, more Northern troops will arrive. (To be continued.) )
