On the upper floor of Chang'an City, the crying and shouting were endless, and everyone was knocked down by the profound and unspeakable grief, all beating their chests and feet, and crying endlessly. Bi Lei shed the last drop of blood for the country, and after he died, men, women and children all felt that their hearts were aching, tearing, and repeatedly filed by sharp files. The officials who pay attention to the demeanor of the ministers of court etiquette on weekdays also took off all kinds of masks, crying for Bi Lei, crying for the country, and crying for the bleak tomorrow with no future and unpredictable.

In the earth-shattering mourning, Zhao Ran turned over and dismounted expressionlessly, stood beside Bi Lei's body, looked down for a moment, drew his war knife, and cut off Bi Lei's head, and then, he held Bi Lei's hair bun with his left hand, and raised the bloody human head high, first showing to the Hun army, and then showing the public to the head of Chang'an City, while shouting in a cruel voice: "The Han Kingdom is prosperous!" ”

"The Han Kingdom is prosperous!"

"The Han Kingdom is prosperous!"

"The Han Kingdom is prosperous!"

Behind him, the 10,000 Han soldiers also shouted loudly, slamming their blades wildly, and the particularly ferocious Huns took off their armor and clothes, and frantically slammed their heavy chests full of black hair, and shook their arms and jumped their feet and howled. As the morale of the Xiongnu army was extremely high, a fierce aura filled the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon also changed color.

After all, Sima Ye was only a fifteen-year-old young man, and he had long forgotten the dignity of the emperor and the dignity of the heavenly family at this moment, so he revealed his true feelings, his hands and feet trembled, tears flowed down his face, and he patted the wall like crazy and scolded: "Zhao Ran is a traitor, you must not die well!" Woo, you don't have to die well! ”

It is a pity that his curses were completely annihilated by the cries of the city and the screams of the city. Seeing that the emperor was too excited, and worried that the emperor would hurt his palm, Lu Yun hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sima Ye's arm, and admonished with tears: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please pay your respects. General Bi was loyal to the country, and he also fulfilled his long-cherished wish of the horse leather shroud. Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to cry, Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body, and think about how to resist the next attack of the enemy. ”

is persuading, Suo Qi also went upstairs. In the end, he didn't meet Bi Lei, and watched him die tragically to his opponent, Suo Qi was sad and angry, his face was blue and red, and there were tears in his eyes, which was not good.

When there was a hesitation upstairs and the morale of the army was unstable, Zhao Ran under the city had already begun to launch a new round of attack. Annihilated the Jin army that went out of the city, and finally beheaded the main general of the Jin army with his own hands, Zhao Ran successfully inspired the high fighting spirit and crazy fighting spirit of his own army. The Hun army quickly discharged the array, Zhao Ran raised the saber in his hand straight, and looked around highly: "Rush!" Kill into Chang'an City, treasure beauties snatch at will, rush! ”

With his military order, the Hun army burst out with a terrifying howl, and then it was like a mountain and a sea of wild waves, and like a thunderbolt like the terrifying Chang'an City, it struck quickly.

It was finally getting dark, and the last of the sun shone on the scarred walls, and the corpses above and below the city were piled up and stained with blood, and the blood streamed from human blood spread and dripped down the grooves and cracks, and accumulated into small puddles beside the soldiers on both sides of the fallen city walls.

The battle lasted all day, although Zhao Ran did not succeed and lost another three or four thousand people, but the casualties of the Jin army in the city were also shocking, and two thousand people were killed in the battle, which accounted for one-tenth of the total strength, which can be described as extremely heavy, not counting more than 300 people who were seriously injured and lost their ability to fight. In addition, the munitions were also very depleted, with missing knives, broken spears, and even trebuchets broken down due to mistakes and improper operation.

In the city, the people who consciously came to help the night vigil were silent and busy moving the corpses of the dead Jin soldiers, they were so cautious, they were afraid that they would be a little bad or negligent, so as to desecrate these warriors who died to defend their home and country, but once they met the corpses of the Huns who died on the wall, they not only stepped forward and pushed them down the city rudely, but also took a bite hard.

The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight is sprinkled all over the world. Only at this time, the two sides of the revenge had a brief period of peace, although the city and the city were heavily guarded, but finally suspended the purgatory-like attack and killing.

In the palace, the lights were bright, and the emperor Sima Ye was still not asleep. The scenes of the day made him very excited, and emotions such as sadness, anger, fear, anxiety and so on were intertwined and rolled in his mind, causing him to toss and turn on the wide couch, and he had no intention of sleeping. After a long time, Sima Ye simply got up in his clothes, and asked the guards to see if the governor and the lieutenant were resting. If not, please come to the palace immediately.

After a while, I could hear the footsteps coming from shallow to deep. In a moment, the voices of Koji and Suo sounded.

"Your Majesty, please see you."

Sima Ye burst into flames, and hurriedly greeted him personally: "Erqing, please come in!" "When the night is restless, it makes people feel more lonely and afraid, and at this time, it is reassuring to have someone to accompany you, to be accompanied by someone who is familiar and stronger than yourself.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, and I can't sleep yet, and I hurt the dragon's body." In his tone, in addition to the respect that a courtier should have, he also brought some care and love from the elders for his sons and nephews.

"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway. I heard that Erqing is also resting, so I simply invited you here, let's talk together. ”

"Good. Since Your Majesty has a heart, then the three of us will discuss and discuss together. Suo Qi is in good spirits, and there is no trace of sleepiness, and it may be difficult for most people to sit back and relax when they are in a critical and tense situation.

The three of them sat down, and the maid had brought hot tea to relieve their fatigue, as well as a few plates of sesame cakes. These things, in normal times, not to mention the royal family, even the home of the minister, are also difficult to see, because they don't bother to eat these things that the head of the Qian. But in the midst of the war, all rules and order have been broken, and what was used to eating in the past can no longer be eaten, and what was not seen before must be eaten now. In Chang'an City, materials have obviously begun to be scarce, and some courtiers' homes even have hemp cakes.

"Your Majesty. The minister was at home, and the reason why he didn't rest was because he was thinking about planning our next specific countermeasures, and wrote it down by hand, and the minister asked to read it and listen to His Majesty. ”

Sima Ye immediately ordered someone to come and light two more giant waxes, and the light immediately brightened up a lot.

Lu Yun said, took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, shook his hand away, and nodded to Suo Qi who was sitting beside him, "Brother Juxiu, you also listen, if there is any inappropriate omission, please point it out." ”

"Now there are less than 20,000 soldiers in the city. But the available civil power is fifty or sixty thousand. At the same time, under the supervision of special personnel, all kinds of food were searched and stored for long-term defense. ”

Because it's not a formal church meeting, it's a free atmosphere at the moment. Suo Qi immediately said: "What Brother Zinuo said is very true, but I will add that the current situation is special, so the so-called food should be more extensive. Includes, but is not limited to, food. It can be birds, animals, fish, shrimp, insects, snakes, wild mice, wild vegetables, wild fruits, and even grass roots, tree bark. Whatever you have, as long as you can satisfy your stomach, bring it back with you, dispose of it, and hoard it for future needs. Of course, the best food is unconditionally prioritized to meet the needs of the palace. ”

Sima Ye sighed. He knew that this arrangement seemed a little inappropriate, but he didn't want to eat those disgusting things at all, and it was creepy to think about rats, snakes, insects, earthworms, ants, etc. Sima Ye could only be silent at the moment, and he couldn't say anything high-sounding.

Lu Yun said again: "The defensive strength on the urn city will also be strengthened by a grade from tomorrow. We must not fail to make bad plans, in case the enemy breaks through the city gates, we still have an urn city to counterattack, which is a critical point for defense in depth. At present, I have thought of these two points, please advise Your Majesty. ”

Sima Ye is a fledgling in the military and politics, and he knows nothing about it, where can he come up with any insightful decisions. But he knows his weaknesses, so he can be good at adopting the methods of his subordinates, respecting his subordinates' opinions, especially for the two of them.

Sima Ye immediately said that Lu Yun's analysis was very incisive, and he didn't have any superfluous advice, as long as he could quickly implement the instructions that Lu Yun said.

Suo Qi said on the side: "In the military, there is also a foolish opinion. At present, our army is outnumbered by the enemy, and the only way to resist the enemy's attack is to take a defensive position, relying on a fortified city and a united hatred of the enemy, so as to slowly drag down the enemy. However, blindly defending is really passive, it is better to select a number of people who dare to die, divide them into more than a dozen squads, sneak out of the city every night, do not seek to kill, only seek to disturb the attack, so that the enemy can not rest all night, tired and weak, and when it is dawn, it is difficult to organize an effective attack. ”

Sima Ye nodded frequently, "Well, this one is okay." Suo Qing's words are very pragmatic. His eyes flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but longing: "Most of the thieves will be disturbed and embarrassed, and sooner or later they will run away with their tails between their legs, hehe." ”

The emperor's mood slowly became a little more uplifted. The two of them saw it in their eyes and felt very relieved. Although the future is stormy, hope is like a candle in this dark room, always illuminating the darkness in front of us.
