The day passed quickly, and there was no word at night. By dawn, the news of the imminent attack of the enemy army had spread throughout Chang'an City, and the whole city was shocked, panic everywhere, and the air became obviously nervous. Some people wanted to leave Chang'an to run west or south to escape the disaster, but it was easy to pack up and stop when they came to the city gate with the old and the young, only to find that there were heavily armed soldiers intercepting them at the doorway, and the number was at least twice as many as usual. Some officials loudly announced on the wooden platform that the whole city would be closed for martial law from now on, and no one would be allowed to go out.

So the sighs and wails of disappointment, the crying, the shouting, the scolding, and later mixed with the sound of the long knife coming out of the sheath, the city gates of Chang'an were pushed and pushed into a mess. Tossed for a morning, in front of the soldiers who were as cold as iron and sharp blades, the people who wanted to leave the city slowly retreated, whether they were unwilling or desperate and afraid, at this moment, everyone understood, whether they wanted to or not, they had been tied to a rope and rushed to the same boat in the stormy seas, waiting for the unknown fate.

Ko Yun was bored in the house, and he also heard a faint noise in his ears. He didn't have to go out to see, he knew what was going on. In fact, in the troubled world, people are like dogs, and if they stay in the city, they think they will die, but if they really go out of the city, they will definitely be able to escape. Lu Yun shook his head, only turning a deaf ear, all kinds of battles with enemies and himself over the years had already honed his heart as a scribe in the past.

After another three days, Chang'an City became extremely silent unconsciously, as if it was a feeling that it did not explode in silence and perished in silence. No one had the heart to talk much, and the doors and windows of every house in the city were closed, as if this would keep out the unseen dangers, even though countless women hid in their homes and sobbed lowly. In addition, all the young and strong families of the common people were also urgently registered, and were temporarily placed in 100 tents next to the barracks, until once the enemy attacked, all of them were organized to go up to the castle tower to assist the officers and soldiers in defending against the enemy.

After noon, just after lunch, Lu Yun was about to walk towards the study, the sound of hurried footsteps behind him came, Lu Yun chuckled in his heart, and before he could turn around, the guard's anxious voice had sounded: "Grand Governor, Your Majesty summons you to go to Dongcheng Tower immediately, the enemy army is coming!" ”

Ko Yun's eyebrows jumped sharply, and he didn't even have time to change his court clothes, so he hurried out of the door wearing only a straight-lined Zen robe. Straight Zen robe is a placket from the collar down the vertical robe, both wide and large, plain wear on the body is to pay attention to the gentle and steady, advance and retreat evidence, at the moment Koji Yun panicked unbearable, even the sedan chair and the horse can not wait to call, pull the leg and run, the Zen robe seems to be very unfavorable, running between the robe, both embarrassed and clumsy.

Running out of the house, the street was already a little chaotic. Chang'an City seemed to have been aggrieved for a long time, and it was vented all of a sudden. On the streets and alleys, as if out of thin air, countless people seemed to come out of thin air, and the hurried footsteps were frightened, and the guards were busy maintaining order, but they were obviously unable to do so, but fortunately, the people were just shouting and answering, and they were rushing towards the east city wall, which was not a riot, so it did not cause a big chaos.

These people are not not afraid, but the enemy army is really coming, and they are beginning to worry and worry about their own sons and daughters who are assisting in the defense of the city tower, and they are willing to take risks to come to the east city tower, not only to watch over their relatives, but also to see the situation more intuitively.

Ko Yun strode forward with small feet, and was stumbled in the crowd, wanting to run faster, but there were people everywhere in front and back, left and right, and between the crowds, he pushed Ko Yun back several steps. Lu Yun was so anxious that he shouted: "Let it all go!" I'm ......" His voice quickly drowned out in the crowd, no one noticed him, no one had the heart to listen to what he was saying, and the people in the street just rushed forward.

When there was no way, the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded, the guards rode their horses and shouted, and opened up a way in the crowd, and when they got closer, someone jumped off the horse, and Lu Yun hurriedly climbed up, sat down firmly and wiped his sweat, and under the support of everyone, he raised his whip and went to the East City Tower.

The Chang'an city wall is completely made of loess layered ramming, and the bottom layer is mixed with earth, lime and glutinous rice juice, which is extremely hard. Later, the entire inner and outer walls of the city wall and the top were covered with blue bricks. Animal hair is very useful and can act as a bond, so that even if a piece of structure cracks, it will not fall off.

In view of this, Ko Yun looked at the majestic city wall, and felt a little confident in his heart. On the city tower, Lu Yun saw at a glance that Sima Ye was already by the wall, leaning out and looking into the distance. Sima Ye was beside him with a solemn face, tilting his head to listen to what General Wuwei Bi Lei said. On the wide wall road, many Chinese military officials of the DPRK also gathered here one after another, seeing each other, but there was no smile. In addition, a large group of soldiers and people in the black pressure stood in a detachment, and among them there were four rather thick and solid trebuchets standing silently.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Yun couldn't breathe, trotted two steps forward, and was about to salute Sima Ye. Sima Ye turned around, his face was full of nervousness, and he grabbed him, "Liqing doesn't need to be polite, come and see!" As he spoke, Sima Ye dragged Lu Yun to the wall, pointing to the distance.

Ko Yun knew the very moment, and he no longer adhered to etiquette, so he raised his eyes and stared when he was busy. The wilderness is particularly vast and quiet, and the sky is blue and boundless, with a few faint white clouds flying. But in the distance, there was a contrasting large earthy yellow patch of immobility, as if heavy and muffled, hanging low from the canopy that met the horizon.

Koji Yun looked at it for a moment. When he turned his face again, his face was already as cold as iron. He looked at Sima Ye and saw that the other party's face was already pale, and he knew that the young emperor had also seen the door.

"The dust raised by the enemy army in the middle of the rush actually obscures the sky and the sun, and the true color of the blue sky is so great that this time the Hulu army is huge, and it is about to be an extremely difficult battle for us."

Seeing that Lu Yun and Sima Ye didn't make a sound, Suo Qi gritted his teeth, and still said the problem that everyone didn't want to hear, but had to face up. Although there were many people on the tower, there was silence for a while, only the growing sound of wind swept through the twisted and struggling flags—even the air could already smell the real killing breath that was coming from afar.

"Crossbowmen are on standby!"

"The armies inspect their blades and prepare for battle, and the shield-bearers lean forward and raise their shields!"

"Listen to my order, Minzhuang will immediately activate the trebuchet, throw it one after another, and do not delay!"

"The Praetorian Guard will do their best to protect Your Majesty's safety, and if there is negligence or negligence, they will be severely punished!"

General Wuwei Bi Lei dispatched back and forth on the city tower, commanding in a deep voice. He is also a general, a junior colonel when he was young, he once followed the Pingdong general Wang Jun to conquer Eastern Wu, and rode the wind and waves for the army, took the lead in capturing the capital of Wu in the Zhulu Jin army, captured the monarchs and ministers of Wu, and made miraculous achievements. Since then, he has been serving in the army, loyal to the imperial court, unswerving, and has fought dozens of times with the Huns and other Hu people, and is covered in scars. Seeing the enemy army sweeping from afar, he was not only stunned, but also resentful and disgusted, he only felt that his blood was boiling, and a strong desire to fight came to his heart again.

After a moment's effort, the smoke and dust that covered the sky were already clearly visible. It seems to be an incomparable earth dragon, rolling and twisting in mid-air, frantically opening its teeth and dancing its claws. Under the smoke and dust, countless swords and spears reflected the light reflected by the sunlight, which was very dazzling, and at the same time there was a rumbling sound, which was the cry of thousands of people trampling their feet and horses and legs quickly, and the earth seemed to be unable to bear the pain.

Bi Lei's face was as heavy as iron, staring at the enemy army that was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he slapped heavily on the battlements and shouted angrily: "The enemy has passed the mark of five hundred paces, the archers are ready, release the arrows!" ”

Thousands of archers hidden behind the shield soldiers or behind the female wall, divided into three columns, when they heard the order, they drew their bows to the sky, the bowstrings were full, and with a bang, countless sharp arrows immediately broke free from the shackles, and rushed straight into the sky, drawing a powerful arc in the air, and then swooped down quickly, like a torrential rain to the earth, and the sky was dark.

Within five hundred paces, the Hun army began to accelerate its charge, and the cry shook the heavens and the earth. The rain of flying locusts and arrows came down one after another, and the sound of clattering was endless, and the sharp arrows passed through the armor and fur, viciously penetrating the flesh, and ending the lives of one by one instantly.

The terrifying sound of the bowstring was endless, looking at the stubble of the enemy army as if they had been cut wheat, and on the city tower, not to mention the young emperor, even the veterans of a hundred battles were also excited, and their blood was surging. The people at the head of the city carefully observed this army, the near has almost reached the city, the far is not far away, the scale is indeed around fifty or sixty thousand, under the count, the main force of the enemy has not yet approached, the city is currently all forward infantry, used to charge into the battle ant attached to the head of the city.

"Chang'an is in front of you, brothers rush forward!"

"General Zhao has an order, the first to ascend the city, the golden beauty can ask for it at will!"

"Kill! ……”

The dense arrows did not contain the momentum of the Xiongnu army. Countless Hun soldiers were inspired, and they danced their long and short weapons like crazy, and roared one after another, like many beans rolling out of a bag, and rushed in the neighing rain of arrows without fear of death. A piece of long wooden planks were carried quickly, set up the moat, the enemy army swarmed through, rushed through the rain of arrows, there were already Hun soldiers screaming to the city, there was a long ladder erected when boarding, before standing firmly, there was already a very fierce leader, left shield and right knife, and went up!
