The battle continues.

The battle on the city walls was still in full swing, and the city was also busy at this time.

With Yan Zhong's help, the officials of the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion and the Jingzhao County Guard Mansion are continuously sending the people and material resources needed for the front line - this is not an easy job, not only because it requires physical consumption, but more importantly, if you want to deliver the materials to the front line, you need to pay the price of your life.

Yes, for the vast majority of people, getting supplies to the front line requires a test of life – the crossbowmen of the Puppeteers, though unable to tilt their arrows above the city, can press in and extend their firepower behind the walls for a considerable distance. There may be a dead end behind the walls that is not threatened by arrows, but for those who want to approach this "safe zone", the range that the crossbow can cover is still a dead area.

Being able to get through that section of the road without getting hurt or dying is definitely not because of how good your skills are, but rather looks more like a super lucky person or a child of the crystal wall who can throw dice all the way to the maximum number of points. As for serious injuries and not death, at least a high enough number should be thrown.

By the way, the dice that was thrown out was not a six-sided die, not even a twenty-sided die, but a thirty-sided die!

It can be said that these logistics personnel are also desperately trying to ensure the supply of the front line, and often the vast team can send supplies to 30% is already a good result, and even if it is not for the protection of the unique rules of this world, perhaps more people will not have time to rush to safety, and they will have to fall forever on the bloody road because of their inconvenience.

Of course, important war supplies had been stored in that safe area, but the intensity of the hesitant battle was far greater than previously expected. The preparation of many materials proved to be inadequate, and the shortfall of that part of the materials had to be filled in everything.

Such a desperate situation only occurred at the beginning of the war due to the lack of preparation on the front line, and the subsequent battles were prepared for a long time, with sufficient supplies stored in the dead end area, and secondly, because the enemy attack did not do more and more than archery and filling in the moat. Although the logistics are also very busy, there is no need to be so desperate, just a little replenishment at the interval of each offensive.

As a result, many vigilant people realized that there should be something wrong with the front line, and from the continuous shouts of killing, they probably guessed that the enemy army really began to attack the city this time. With a well-prepared enemy on one side and a poorly defended defender on the other, you can imagine how hard this battle will be.

Some pessimistic people have even begun to fantasize about what kind of bloody storm will be after the city is broken.

Of course, such pessimistic arguments did not have a wide impact in Chang'an. The situation in the city has not seen the real strength of the enemy, although the enemy's bow and crossbow are strong, but the siege is not just shooting arrows can be taken, it is the most tragic war mode in the war that requires enough troops to really defeat the defenders, especially for Chang'an City, which has complete city defense, if you want to attack the city without spending enough price, obviously even the heads of the puppets will not believe it.

The second is that the propaganda is good enough, so that the upper and lower levels in the city know that the Bingzhou army is engaged with the enemy army besieging Chang'an City under the leadership of Li Shushi. Although because of the large enemy army, it is not easy to take it down at once. But there have been at least a number of partial victories, proving that the enemy is not invincible. Although the defenders of Chang'an City could not compare with the main force of the Central Army of the Bingzhou Army, they had the advantage of city defense, and they may have to pay a relatively large price, but they could still defeat the enemy after all. If we add in the conditions for the famous general Huangfu Song, who had resisted the Qiang Rebellion, to take command, then the result of the victory is even more convincing.

It is because of this confidence. In addition, they are unwilling to believe that the enemy army really has the ability to break through the city and bloody Chang'an, so everyone naturally magnifies the good news to listen, and takes the not so good news as the wind in their ears.

Anyway, even though the head of the city has been fighting and dying, life in the center of the city has not suffered much. The prices in Chang'an City have not fluctuated extremely much, which is very revealing.

Although this view is somewhat naïve, such an atmosphere is indeed what Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun want to see.

"Hasn't there been any news from General Huangfu yet?"

"Not yet...... But I think I'm afraid it's not the old general's time to think it's not ......."

“…… Is it completely incompatible? Hey, the general is such a temper, he has always been worried that the enemy is still prepared, and he is unwilling to make this decision, but we all know that the enemy army is treacherous and strong, and if it falls into a bitter battle, it will be a great disadvantage to our army! ”

"So ......"

"Now the situation is critical, I can't hesitate any longer, pass on my password, if General Huangfu asks after the war, he will say that it is my problem, anyway, he is already an old man who has been half-cut into the ground, and he has lived so long longer, content, content!"

"Mr. Yan......"

"If you have time to talk nonsense, get the job done for me first!"

The young figure gradually disappeared outside the door, and Yan Zhong blinked vigorously before he could barely see the back that was gradually moving away.

In addition to making him feel low on his energy, the long hours of continuous work were also a huge burden on his various body organs, such as his eyes, which were red and swollen from long hours of desk work, especially at night when he had to work under oil lamps, and even in the daytime when the light was suitable, things looked blurry.

It's a pity that he can't stop at all, after all, even if Zhu Jun, who is the assassin of Yongzhou, and Wang Ze, who is the Taishou of Jingzhao County, have built a good enough internal affairs team, but most of those officials are young people, even though they are enthusiastic, they don't have much experience, let alone suddenly face this siege battle with a strange rhythm.

Most of their experienced fathers were reluctant to show up because of Li Guo's rebellion, and Li Shushi's "farming" in the Guanzhong region in the past few years also made some conservative older generations feel resistant, and they may not stop their children and grandchildren from going out, after all, if they don't go out, their families will be eliminated, but as far as they are concerned, they are resistant to the state army.

Because of this. If there were no experienced people like Yan Zhong and Wang Ze in charge, I am afraid that the situation in Chang'an City would have already become a mess, instead of maintaining a relatively peaceful situation as it is now.

However, Yan Zhong also believed that those outstanding young people would grow into outstanding talents after the baptism of this war, and they would be in any grassroots posts in the future. should be able to do it with ease.

For example, the young man who just left, he didn't seem to have anything too noteworthy except for his beautiful appearance, but Yan Zhong knew very well that the other party's identity was not ordinary, not only because the other party was the county commander of Chang'an, but also because the other party was Li Shushi's eldest brother, Dian Wei's brother-in-law, and Zhen Yao, the third son of the Zhen family.

Although Zhen Yao was promoted as filial piety, and he also became the county commander of this huge Chang'an, it was a very prominent official position in the Western Han Dynasty. Of course, it is also an extremely troublesome position, but in the eyes of an old Jianghu like Yan Zhong, this does not mean that Zhen Yao is really capable of doing this, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the young man had great gods like Zhu Jun and Wang Ze on top of his head, I am afraid that he would have to poke out all kinds of baskets a long time ago.

It's just because of his identity, neither Zhu Jun nor Wang Ze will blame him for this, but will silently clean up the mess for him. Then give him a few words at the right time.

But in the end, this young man has all the shortcomings of young people, at least he seems to be humble enough to learn. It was not clear what his previous cousin was like Yan Zhong. But at least during this time, Zhen Yao's efforts can be said to be obvious to all, and even made Yan Zhong feel the urge to take him as a disciple and guide him attentively.

Of course, this is just an impulse, after all, compared to him Yan Zhong, the female doctor next to Li Shushi is more qualified than him to open an apprenticeship, maybe he will dislike him, an old guy who is outdated and can't keep up with this era. But even so. Yan Zhong is also very attentive to guiding this Li Shushi's eldest brother, thinking that with the influence of the Zhen family, even if his descendants of Yan Zhong are not very promising after this battle, at least they can eat and drink without worrying.

Although it is always said that "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cattle for children and grandchildren". But how can parents really let it go?

Well, it's a luxury to still be in the mood to think cranky while we're fighting.

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, and putting on a small supply to himself, so that his body barely recovered a little vitality, Yan Zhong once again devoted himself to work, he needed to urge the manufacturing speed of various city-defending equipment, now it seems that he can no longer wait for the fine work of those craftsmen, compared to those things that can be used for decades, quantity, even if the quality is poor, is the king of war!

Yan Zhong, who has enough experience in warfare, understands this more deeply than many people.

Not to mention the fact that the fortifications have proven to be the most effective weapons in this war against extremely powerful enemy forces.

In fact, there is no need for Yan Zhong to order, those craftsmen and many volunteers have been working overtime for several days, until their bodies can no longer continue to persevere, they will not interfere with the workers' places and clothes to sleep, they are working like crazy to support the brave struggle of the state army, but more importantly, to protect their homes and families.

There were not enough materials, and the houses that were no longer inhabitable were demolished. There was a shortage of manpower, so Wang Ze and others were responsible for recruitment.

After all, compared to going to the front line to face the test of life and death, just working hard is obviously much safer for most people, and Wang Ze and Yan Zhong have enough volunteers when the army source is not yet stretched.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of them can only do some heavy work, and those parts that require craftsmanship are still only a small number of people can complete, and this is why the production of the city's defense machinery is still slow when there are so many people.

In fact, everyone has worked very hard, but compared with the somewhat bad battle situation on the front line, Wang Ze and others in the rear still feel that the speed on their side is too slow and too slow.

The situation at the front line has really reached a very critical stage.

And the most obvious is that there are fewer and fewer guards around Huangfu Song, as well as more and more clay puppet soldiers.

The surrounding soldiers were rushing towards this side, all intent on rescuing their esteemed commander, even the low-ranking officers, who had conquered the city in just a short time. His kindness, his kindness, and his sternness all make up his unique style, which is unforgettable.

It's just that such a move doesn't turn the situation around, or rather, it was expected by the commanders of the puppeteers. Therefore, the soldiers defending the city not only failed to save the commander they admired in their hearts from the human wall built by the clay puppets, but because they focused too much attention on Huangfu Song, they made more sections of the city head appear loopholes and were climbed up and turned up by the soldiers of the clay puppet corps, making the area of the city head belonging to the living smaller and smaller.

But the living have been killed to the point of selflessness, and in the absence of effective command, the only thing they can do is to rush to the place they want. Then they were killed, or a few people, a dozen or so formed small groups led by mid- and low-ranking officers, and under the protection of experienced veterans, they struggled to resist the attack from the clay puppets.

The situation at the North Gate is also not much better, but because the puppets are not as resolute as they are to Huangfu Song, or the forces invested by the puppet corps in the north still seem to be inferior to here at the East Gate, compared to Zhu Jun. The focus of the puppet corps is obviously still on the commander of Huangfu Song, which allows Zhu Jun to more or less find an opportunity to pass on his orders. And it is precisely this gap that does not seem to be a big one, but it determines that the north gate and the east gate are completely different situations.

Chaos and Order, Hell and ...... It's barely a few floors away from hell.

Fortunately, reinforcements seem to be arriving in the city, and the enemy's rain of arrows may still be terrifying and sharp, but experienced soldiers, even if they are just a group of militiamen, can still rely on a variety of "shields" to minimize their possible trauma. Leave more lives to squander on what looks like a bottomless pit, ah no, for the struggle for freedom.

Something seems wrong, but nothing seems wrong.

All in all, the current situation. It seems that it is the same as the current environment, Huangfu Song is like this Chang'an City is surrounded in the middle, the same crumbling, and no matter how hard other foreign aid tries, they can't break through the "wall" built by the clay puppets, and if there is no target trapped in the center, the clay puppet corps will jump into the abyss.

The situation will change radically.

It's just that perhaps to the surprise of many people, Huangfu Song has been fighting for a long time, although he looks exhausted and crumbling, and there are only more than ten guards left around him, and the state is no different from him.

But it was these people who still killed twice as many enemies in a row in half an hour, while they themselves were only one less man, and they still looked like they were crumbling.

What the hell is going on?

Just when Huang Fu Song was hit by the bronze long sword in the hands of the two clay puppets again, and his life was in danger, a pillar of azure light fell from the sky, enveloping Huang Fu Song and the guards around him, and the originally hideous wound on Huang Fu Song's body was also gradually healed in this azure light, although it could not be 100% restored, but it undoubtedly made Huang Fu Song a lot more excited.

Yes, it is this support that comes out of nowhere that has allowed Huangfu Song and his few remaining guards to support until now.

"Transport...... Originally, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to really exist. ”

I don't know where I heard a strange sound, as if metal scraping glass, although it was very ugly, but it also just answered the doubts of the clay puppets.

It's just that the answer can't stop the cyan light from continuing to aid Huangfu Song, because if it is really a legendary transportation strategy, then it will definitely be able to ignore the influence of distance and various obstacles in a considerable range, and directly replenish the target's HP, and by the way, it can also recover a little bit of body. Although the farther the distance, the worse the effect, but as long as the distance is appropriate, it can not only effectively protect the caster, but also protect the safety of the target.

"It's really a difficult guy, but the rotten people you have cultivated in this decadent era, the cowards who are just buying people's hearts with some small favors but are unwilling to fight for the future of the majority of people, it is time to be buried in this decadent era."

The strange and unpleasant voice rang out again, spreading uneasiness through the crowd.

It's not that the clay puppets can't speak, but that no matter what any of them speak, it seems to sound the same to humans—with an unbearable noise, and every word doesn't seem to convey a meaning, but merely to torment the eardrums and brains of the living, making it difficult for the living to concentrate on what they are saying.

In comparison, it was the first time that the meaning of the message was conveyed so clearly, although it was still so ugly.

It's just that even such a threat will probably only make them uncomfortable for a short moment for the living, after all, they haven't collapsed under so much pressure before, how much terror can be carried by a mere voice?

However, just when the living disdained this intimidation, Huangfu Song suddenly stopped the movement of his hand.

Because I don't know when, the tip of the knife about an inch long appeared on the chest in front of him, and on the tip of the knife, there was still hot blood flowing, accompanied by Huangfu Song's shocked face, and......

"Finally got rid of you, old fellow!"

This is a voice full of resentment but cheerful, and the face that once made Huangfu Song regret every time he thought about it. (To be continued......)
