In the early morning, Anding was still shrouded in a dashing mist, and the drizzle continued to fall, but half an hour later, a ray of sunlight tore through the weeping clouds like a match, and the rain stopped.

In normal times, the city gates at this hour were already full of dew stalls selling all kinds of snacks, but today, there is no one outside the three city gates, and it is so quiet that people are frightening.

Yang Shiyuan is indeed very efficient, last night just arranged the complete battle matters, he took people to go door to door to announce, and according to the methods Meng Qingye said, he led people to pry away all the stone lions in Anding City, and then moved to the city wall......

After a night, the officials led by Yang Shiyuan and Zhang Chen were tired and weak, but the city of Anding seemed to be a purge of the appearance, and then according to Meng Qingye's arguments, the people in the city hated the Great Zhao army for a while.

In addition, the decrees promulgated by Xi Yan a few days ago were gradually implemented, which made the people unwilling to return to Da Zhao again, and they all had high fighting spirits.

Even some women who usually stay at home have walked out of the house, come to the city tower, roll up their sleeves, and prepare for the men who are about to face the Great Zhao army.

Backed by the Qunqu Mountains, Anding Castle has only three walls, which usually seems a little strange, but at this time it reduces the burden of defending the city.

I can't wait for Yang Shiyuan to lead people to mobilize door to door, the square outside the Assassin's Mansion is already full of people, they are all people in the city, I heard that the government is going to recruit soldiers to defend the city, they all rushed to the front of the city from home, ready to fight to the death with the Great Zhao army.

When Meng Qingye watched the excitement and told An Ruofei in the mansion about this grand occasion, the tea cup in her hand had already fallen on the table, making a crisp sound.

"I didn't expect your method to work wonders, Qingye...... You can really be a military advisor. ”

Meng Qingye raised his eyebrows proudly, "My father and several brothers often say that I am useless, look at this time, what else do they have to say~"

Meng Qingye is indeed very proud, he has been thinner than other brothers since he was a child, and he is negligent in practicing martial arts because of laziness, at first the Yasukuni Gong didn't care about him, just thought that Meng Qingye was not here, and when his old man suddenly found that Meng Qingye couldn't lift his hands and shoulders, it was already too late, although he also forced Meng Qingye to practice kung fu for a few days, but this tree has grown up, although he is angry in his heart, he can only scold a few words to get angry.

As for Meng Qingye, he knew that his father and brother were both martial artists, although he always had the idea that force could not defeat wisdom, but he never said that even if his father scolded his saber as just an ornament, Meng Qingye only smiled weakly...... This time he finally got the opportunity to prove himself, and he was naturally too late to be happy.

Song Ji also stood aside with a light smile, and his gaze at Meng Qingye was also full of softness, "Ah Ye's mind is like the sky, and this time he will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster." ”

Receiving such praise, Meng Qingye became a little modest, "Ah Ji is too famous, I also listened to my father and a few brothers, I used to listen to it only as a story, who knew that it could still be used today......"

Song Ji still smiled lightly, and left without saying a word after a while.

For Song Ji's casualness, An Ruofei and Meng Qingye have long been surprised, he is a kind and indifferent person, and the days in the Nanfeng Pavilion in the past made him alienated from people, although he lived in Xi Mansion, Meng Qingye and An Ruofei never restrained him, and they did whatever they wanted, but they also felt relaxed.

An Ruofei lowered his eyes, and his originally smiling face still showed a trace of sorrow.

Meng Qingye understood her thoughts, so he asked her gently, "Are you still a little nervous...... The big war is coming, and you are a girl, if you say you are not afraid, it is impossible, but why...... Why don't you let Xi Yun send you to take refuge outside the city? ”

An Ruofei pursed his lips and smiled, "If I am asked to choose again, I still won't leave, I will still stay." He's back...... I will always wait for him at home. ”

Suddenly, An Ruofei raised his head and looked at Meng Qingye: "I heard...... The Great Zhao army is no more than fifty miles away from stability? ”

Meng Qingye nodded, he likes to wander around, after coming up with those ideas to defend the city, Xi Yun will also invite him to listen to the deliberations in the Assassin's Mansion, but he always refuses, for a person like him who is used to being idle, he can't get used to it when he suddenly has more affairs.

"I want to come...... By evening at the latest, the city will be fenced off. Then...... It's time to prepare for the siege. ”

An Ruofei listened calmly, as if this was just an ordinary thing.

After a while, An Ruofei seemed to be talking to himself, and said softly: "When the time comes...... I don't know how many of the soldiers who defended the city are still alive? ”

"Don't worry," Meng Qingye patted her on the shoulder, "We can wait until he comes back......

"Hmm......" An Ruofei had no doubt about this, she just missed Xi Yan, and was a little worried about him, running for several days, and hurting her body the most.

Time passed slowly and painfully, and for those who guarded the city, they could still vent their frustration with shouts and roars, but for the rest of the city, it was as if they were blind, unable to do anything, and could not see anything.

When the banner of Da Zhao stretched for several miles appeared in the eyes of the defenders at the head of the city, many people still felt fear from the bottom of their hearts, and the sound of iron hooves stepping on the earth reached everyone's ears, even the people hiding in their homes in the city clearly felt it.

Yang Shiyuan stood at the head of the city, while Zhang Chen had already put on his armor and led his army to the bottom of the city, preparing to meet the attack of the Great Zhao army.

Before Zhang Chen left, he still talked to Yang Shiyuan about Lingjiang's business, and as for his wife and children, he didn't say a word. Because he knew that if stability was lost, no one in his family would be alive again, and if he died in battle, Yang Shiyuan and other colleagues would definitely take care of their wives and children.

In the distance, an iron-gray line appeared, and smoke and dust rolled above this line, and the armor on the armor of Sergeant Da Zhao also shone with a dazzling cold light under the light of the sky, but what made people palpitate more than it was the blade in their hands.

When the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, the Great Zhao army did not charge as expected, but set up catapults in the distance.

Yang Shiyuan at the head of the city instantly understood that Da Zhao didn't want to have any extra losses at all, even if his side had already occupied an absolute advantage, Da Zhao still didn't send cavalry to charge, and he didn't even take those defenders under the city in his eyes at all.

Although Zhang Chen has not been on the battlefield for a long time, his sharpness on the battlefield is not much more than that of some veterans, and seeing that the situation is like this, he found an opportunity and led people back to the city.

The sound of the catapult twisting its spring could be heard in the distance, and a moment later, boulders burst out into the sky.

The defenders in the city did not give in, but most of the stone lions were thrown from the city, and there were even grinding discs.

However, the throwing that lost his vision was extremely inaccurate, and several rounds of blows only caused minimal damage to the Great Zhao army.

Under the cover of catapults, the Great Zhao army outside the city slowly came to the front of the city by pushing the ladder...... In He Fangping's eyes, it seems that it is already within reach.
