Don't mention the next offense and defense. The defenders of Chang'an were full of more than 13,000 people left, and that's it, including Gao Yue and Wang Gai's direct subordinates. In addition, there was a shortage of food and clothing, and the people's hearts were in turmoil, and later even the ordnance and blades began to appear on a large scale, but they could no longer be replenished, and the arrows shot by the soldiers had already sharpened the bamboo branches and used them, and the strength of the attack on the enemy was as weak as a day.

On the other hand, Liu Yao's 50,000 Xiongnu army, with sufficient grain and straw, and no worries, the whole army was high-spirited and determined to capture Chang'an City. The contrast between the strength of the enemy and us is staggering, Gao Yue can't wait to grow three heads and six arms, left and right, but in the court, from the emperor to the hundred officials, even if the monarch and ministers are so anxious to cry in the court, there is no way at all, and they can no longer provide Gao Yue with half substantial supply support. Gao Yue's skillful woman is difficult to cook without rice, and she really can't resist it. The whole city is only in the torment of extreme fear, desperate and helpless day by day.

By November, a large number of people in the city were starving to death, and the only food was used to supply the imperial court and the defending army, but most of the soldiers were also starving and had no strength, and the situation became more and more exhausted, and Chang'an was already in danger. On this day, under the banner of countless clouds that covered the sky and the sun, Liu Yao, the commander of the Hun army, with golden helmets and golden armor, sat on his war horse and looked up. With his long-term practical experience and keen vision, Liu Yao knew in his heart that Chang'an had finally reached the last moment of collapse.

Destroy the prestige of the country and build an immortal achievement. Thousands of pride surged in his chest, and Liu Yao could hardly control himself. With a snort, Liu Yao pulled out his sword, pointed his sword at the sky, looked around awe-inspiringly, and said loudly with all his strength: "Soldiers! Under your powerful attack, the last lair of the Jin Kingdom no longer has the slightest ability to resist. At this moment, in the name of the King of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty, I give the order of a general attack, take out your fearlessness, let the blood of the grassland boy burn in my heart, rush up, trample Chang'an under my feet, completely destroy the once high Jin Kingdom, and let the supreme glory shine on you - attack! ”

With Liu Yao's drinking order, the huge horn sound resounded in the sky. More than 40,000 Xiongnu troops, like a boiling sea, rushed to Chang'an with unprecedented madness, and the sky was dark under the cover of wolves.

Above the southern city, Gao Yue didn't care about wiping the blood off his face, and was commanding desperately to resist with a hoarse voice. The thick and heavy ladder under the city, one by one, hurriedly came up, the guards did not have time to use the hook to pull, a violent rain of arrows overturned many people, Gao Yue was so anxious that his heart was like fire, but he couldn't raise his head for a while, so he had to grit his teeth and shrink behind the battlements and wait.

When he was scorching, a soldier staggered over with his waist bent over, and shouted in fright: "General! Oh no! The East Gate has been broken! ”

At first glance, a boulder in Gao Yue's heart fell suddenly, and there was a pain in his chest. The soldier who told the news was so agitated that before he knew it, he stood up straight, pointed to the east, and made a gesture, but unexpectedly, a stray arrow came and struck him in the temple, and the soldier screamed and trembled, and then fell to the ground and died like a balloon that had been emptied.

Gao Yue saw it in his eyes, but where could he take care of it. There was a buzz in his head, and the thought that Chang'an was about to fall kept piercing his head like a needle, and he was a little confused for a while. As a last resort, he bit his lower lip to force himself to calm down, but after thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "Don't panic, come with me, and go back to the inner city quickly!" ”

Chang'an, as Kyoto, is extraordinary. In addition to the outer city where the people were located, there was also an inner city where the imperial city and the palaces of the princes and ministers gathered, and there were also four city walls. Now that the Hun army has broken through the outer city of Chang'an, it is meaningless to still hold on here, Gao Yue will take advantage of the enemy's arrival, seize the front, and quickly retreat to the inner city, and never give up until the last moment.

The rain of arrows was still shooting frantically upwards. The Huns under the city burst out with shocking cheers from afar, and it seems that the east gate is lost, which should be true. Gao Yue was anxious, Zhou Panlong, who was always following closely beside him, picked up a shield, jumped up with a roar, bowed down and blocked the shield backhand behind him, and the arrows that shot at him immediately hit the shield surface, and the sound was non-stop, which made people's hearts beat.

"The lord retreats quickly!"

Zhou Panlong had a strong body, gritted his teeth and protected Gao Yue in front of him, so he beckoned more than a thousand soldiers in the city and quickly rushed to the city.

Although there is no large number of enemy troops at the moment, it seems that everyone already knows that the catastrophe is coming, and the streets in Chang'an City are empty, but now they are suddenly full of people running around like headless flies. In the houses on both sides of the street, the cries of children, the cries of women, and the shouts of men made people's ears explode. There are even some families who, in order to avoid falling into the hands of the Huns and being brutally tortured and killed, have set their families on fire in despair. The hideous tongue of fire rose up a scorched black smoke, choking people so violently that they couldn't even open their eyes, and even the wild dogs with their scurrying wild dogs went crazy, barking in fright, and threatening to bite people.

Zhou Panlong hacked to death a vicious rabid dog that pounced on him with an axe. Gao Yue led the people, burying his head in the smoke and howling crowd, and hurried towards the inner city. At this time, he only had one thought, the situation should not have reached the point of no return, hurry, hurry, he must rush back to the inner city before the enemy. Because he has been defending at the head of the city, Gao Yue's war horses are all gathered in the inner city, and at this moment, he can only rely on his two legs to race against the urgent time.

Turning around the two street corners, I saw Fan Sheng and Wang Cai, each leading a different number of soldiers, also running with their legs spread. Originally, the two of them were ordered by Gao Yue to go to the east city and the north city to support. But before Fan Sheng arrived in the east city, the city gate was breached, and in desperation, Fan Sheng had no choice but to make a decision, gather the living forces, and hurry to the south city where Gao Yue is located. Halfway down the road, he was stopped by the soldiers sent by Gao Yue to report the news, so he changed direction. So the three of them were together again, and ordered all the soldiers in the city to retreat to the inner city at once, and there was no time to say more and run all the way.

It was easy to rush back to the inner city, Gao Yue immediately ordered the four gates to be closed, and stepped up the defense, and at the same time brought Fan and Wang, and they rushed to the palace without stopping. After a few steps, he saw Tang tired and panting coming towards him, saying that it was the emperor who came to summon him, so several people rushed all the way in a panic.

When they arrived at the main hall, all the officials of the imperial court had already gathered here, but they were crowded in one place, and there was no time to follow the rules and arrange two shifts. Some of their faces were pale, some were earth-colored, and some were clasping their arms tightly and unconsciously stomping their feet. What's more, even the robes and robes were worn crookedly, obviously in a hurry, and in the whole hall, there was no trace of imperial court decency, and there was a highly tense atmosphere everywhere, and even the air had to be solidified.

Emperor Sima Ye has been hungry for many days, and he has become yellow and thin due to severe lack of nutrition. Coupled with worry and fear day and night, often insomnia, the young man who has just reached the age of eighteen is the most energetic youthful time, but Sima Ye has already described it as withered, his sunken eye sockets are covered with bloodshots, and his body is slightly stiff and can't stand up his chest.

"Gao Qing, you're here."

Sima Ye's voice was trembling, with indescribable sorrow. The ministers fell silent, and there was oppressive silence in the hall.

Gao Yue's heart was agitated, and he strode up and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has ordered the four gates of the inner city to be closed, and the minister should lead his troops to defend it." ”

Sima Ye stared at Gao Yue with a complicated expression, exhaled for a long time, shook his head and said, "That's it." I have decided that in order to reduce meaningless casualties, avoid more unnecessary killings, and plan for the lives of innocent people in the city, I intend to give up all resistance. ”

With his words, among the courtiers, Cheng Jilang and several others in the imperial history cried bitterly. Obviously, Sima Ye has already said this decision, but it is still difficult for Ji Lang and other loyal and patriotic courtiers to accept it.

Gao Yue was shocked: "Your Majesty said this! At present, there are more than 4,000 warriors in the inner city of Chang'an, all of whom are determined to fight for His Majesty and resist the enemy. Things have not yet reached the point of despair, Your Majesty has no choice but to abandon the temple! ”

Sima Ye sat weakly on the dragon chair, and said with a dead face: "If the sky wants to destroy the Jin, manpower is irretrievable." In the past, I was greatly promoted to the four seas, but in more than ten years, it was corrupted to such a point. And the outer city of Chang'an is so impregnable, and now it has been broken by the enemy, how long can the inner city be supported? ”

Gao Yue just kowtowed. Sima Ye didn't answer, and tried his best to hold back when he wanted to cry several times. He clenched his fists and adjusted his mood for a long time before he said in a trembling voice: "I have another will for you." While the enemy has not yet attacked the inner city, Qing Ke will take all the soldiers in the city with him and quickly break through. ”
