The news of the destruction of the city in the clouds spread throughout Chang'an in just a few days.

For the fall of such a majestic fortified city, the first reaction of the people of Chang'an was surprise;

- How could it be?!

- How could it be so sudden?!

In the past two months, I haven't heard that Yunzhong City has been attacked by the Huns, or surrounded by the Huns?

How is this, the news of 'being attacked in the clouds' is still sent together with the news of 'the city in the clouds'?

After a short period of astonishment, the area around Chang'an City was occupied by a monstrous rage.

Especially after the news of 'Yunzhong Duyou Cai Yannian fled from the war', public opinion was completely exploded!

If you are calmer, you may say that Cai Yannian has a mouse feces and harmed a pot of soup;

The one who was a little more emotional didn't consider the reality at all, and directly included the entire Cloud Medium City into the category of 'timid as a mouse'.

In a few days, it was similar to 'treacherous Hu Shang, who opened the gate of the city in the clouds; Nursery rhymes such as "If you don't meet a soldier in a dead battle, you only see the corpses of women and children" began to spread in the streets and alleys.

At the most exaggerated time, even those who obviously had nothing to do with the eight poles of Cloud City were ruthlessly abused because of Cai Yannian in Yunzhong;

As for the reason, it is just because these people are 'from the family' with Cai Yannian, although they are not related to each other, but they are also 'Cai'······

In addition to the gradually out of control of public opinion, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, there has also set off a discussion about the 'real side of immigration';

However, no one can come up with a good solution to the possible problems in the border gates.

It was also on the fourth day after the news of the 'Broken City in the Clouds' reached Chang'an, that Jin She, the imperial lieutenant who had received an urgent edict of 800 miles from the court, finally arrived at the military town outside the Great Wall of Daibei Zhao: Mayi······

·

"Your Majesty's edict: Cai Yannian, the capital of the clouds, fled cowardly in battle, sat in the clouds, and lost more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians in the clouds;"

"Special Commander Taiwei Xinwu Marquis Jin She, with the edict and even Ma Yi, the cloud is all mail Cai Yannian, and the law is corrected on the spot!"

Outside the north gate of Cloud City, with the reading of Jin She's low and heavy edict, Cai Yannian, the culprit of 'Sitting in the Clouds', was escorted forward by two soldiers.

Almost at the same time that Cai Yannian was pressed to the ground, a soldier holding a long-handled guillotine also walked out of the side of the general's platform where Jin She was;

When he brought the soldier to Cai Yannian's side, he saw Jin She slowly raise his hand, and the soldier raised the guillotine in his hand almost at the same rhythm.

Then, it was Jin She who raised his hand and suddenly fell, and the guillotine in the soldier's hand was also draped on Cai Yannian's waist impartially.

- One knife and two sections!

Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, the soldiers and civilians in the clouds who were gathered around the Dianjiangtai, or the 'execution ground', were all shocked;

Especially after Cai Yannian was cut into two sections, he still crawled forward with his hands, but he couldn't make the slightest sound, which made the onlookers bow their heads in horror.

On the platform, Jin She indifferently watched everything that happened in front of him, and even the moment the soldier waved his guillotine, he couldn't make Jin She even blink.

looked directly at the 'half' Cai Yannian who was struggling and squirming in the world, and Jin She's face was only indescribably cold!

After a full cup of tea, Cai Yannian could be regarded as breathing;

And Jin She's cold gaze without the slightest temperature also slowly raised his head as Jin She, and the two sections of Cai Yannian in front of the stage slowly moved to the army and people in the tens of thousands of clouds.

To be precise, it is 'the army and the people in the clouds'.

Looking around with cold eyes, and staring deeply for a long time, Jin Shu spread out the edict in his hand again.

"The soldiers and civilians in Yunzhong who fled with Cai Yannian were treacherous, ignoring the responsibilities of the border guards and military households, and fled without a fight;"

"On the system, the soldiers in the clouds: sit on the lost land, sit on the lost city, sit on the lost mouth, do not fight when the enemy meets, and do not fight the acropolis!"

"With the border guards in the clouds, remove the armor and blades, the brown clothes (kūn) pliers, and the hair is Chang'an!"

"Wait for the battle, abandon Chang'an City!"

Another low, but penetrating roar, between the crowd, hundreds of figures collapsed to the ground;

In a short time, the soldiers in military robes in the crowd were carried out by the soldiers and horses brought by Jin She.

What awaited them was a brown linen coat, shackles for the prisoners, a shaved bald head, and the word 'prisoner' tattooed in ink on their faces.

As for Jin She's reference to 'those who wear military uniforms are soldiers', he screened directly from the crowd, which seems to have some loopholes.

What if one of these soldiers wears the clothes of the people?

Jin She is very sure: impossible!

Because according to Jin She's current understanding, the battle situation that day was probably like this:

- On the twenty-seventh day of the eighth month of the autumn month, a merchant named 'Aktu', according to the usual practice, appeared again outside the northern gate of the city after leaving the clouds for four months;

However, when the soldiers at the head of the city put down the bamboo basket and wanted to pull the Hu merchant Aktu up to the city as usual, and then pull the other people, money, and goods up in order, they were opposed by Aktu.

"I brought a lot of spices, which might spill out if I put them in a bamboo basket, and I also brought seven cows, so I couldn't pull them up to the city with a bamboo basket," Aktu said.

Hearing this, although the defenders of the city head had some concerns, but because the temptation of spices was too great, and the seven cows really couldn't pull up the city head with manpower, they could only carefully open the north gate of Cloud City.

"The Reborn Financial Giant"

In the beginning, everything went well;

Aktu came in, still smiling, and even took out a small packet of spices as a reward for the city gatekeeper!

The cows also came in, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

But the moment the servants of Aktu entered the city through the crack in the door, the guards in charge of martial law at the head of the city were shot with bows and arrows!

Almost at the same time, the servants burst into flames, brandished machetes in their hands, and slew the city gates into rivers of blood!

By the time the guards in the city noticed the abnormality, the Hu people had already pushed down two giant trees that had been cut into triangular pillars from the carriage and pressed against the city gate;

In just half a pillar of incense, thousands of Huns fell from the sky outside the city, galloping on horses, shouting and shouting, and poured into the city in the clouds from the north gate······

For this part, Jin Shu actually didn't feel anything.

- stealing the gates;

It's very standard, almost a textbook-level actual battle example of stealing a city gate.

But what happened after that made Jin She, a veteran who had been entrusted by the years and fought on the battlefield, couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

——After receiving the news of the destruction of the city, Cai Yannian's first reaction was not to organize a counterattack, not to fight with the Huns!

Almost within thirty breaths, Cai Yannian put on his clothes and issued the following military orders;

First: When the war breaks out, the old, weak, women and children of the military households in the city must close their doors and never go out!

Second: If the Huns break through the doors of military households, the old and weak women and children must also fight to the death and wait for help!

！

Second: All soldiers in the clouds, and those over fifteen years old, gather outside the south city gate immediately!

Third: Prepare three fast horses······

In this way, after the North City Gate of Yunzhong was broken for a short incense stick, as the highest-ranking principal official of Yunzhong City, or 'Yunzhong County', Cai Yannian embarked on the road of escape;

According to the memories of the sergeant who took out the clouds with Cai Yannian: By the time the Huns chased them out from the south gate, the team had already run out for more than ten miles······

Xu is that the Huns are busy searching for the soldiers in Yunzhong City, or in Yunzhong City, those old and weak women and children who were abandoned by Cai Yannian have really caused too much hindrance to the Huns, and the pursuit of the Huns has not been too vigorous;

Thousands of rangers scattered out, even if they chased Cai Yannian and his party, they didn't try very hard, only shot two arrows from a distance, and then roared twice, and then all retreated.

The city in the clouds was broken in the early morning, before dawn;

Cai Yannian himself arrived in Mayi two and a half hours later;

By three o'clock in the afternoon, when it was approaching the end of the day, the soldiers and horses and young men brought out by Cai Yannian from Yunzhong City had basically arrived at Mayi.

Seeing such a situation, Ma Yi Ling had to hurriedly send someone to answer and place Cai Yannian and his party in the north of Ma Yi City.

After Cai Yannian and his entourage set up camp and ate a full meal, Ma Yiling realized that the city was broken before dawn in the clouds, but until dusk, Cai Yannian didn't think of lighting the beacon fire······

"The military households in the clouds!"

The more he thought about it, the more Jin She felt a suffocation in his chest, so he could only force himself to ease up from his thoughts, and with a lot of anger, he looked at the 'young man' dozens of steps in front of the general, which was only 3,000 people.

For later generations, these young people, who are between fifteen and twenty years old, are still at the age of studying;

But in today's Han family, these young people who have received military training, without exception, are all reserves!

In particular, these reservists are still the children of military families who were ordered to garrison Yunzhong City······

"Your Majesty's dictation: The pawn of the cowardly enemy is useless in the country!"

"The military and the people in the clouds, the enemy has not arrived and is frightened, that is, Chang'an, and Xiu'an Mausoleum!"

Full of anger, and hatred that could not be written on his face, he shouted the sentence 'Chang'an, and Xiu'an Mausoleum', Jin She irritably took the edict back into his arms.

With Jin She's order, these last thousands of people were also sent away;

What awaits them is endless hard work, and at the end of their lives, on a steep mountain wall or in a bottomless ravine······

After dealing with what happened in the clouds, Jin She finally felt that the boredom in his chest had eased a little;

Then, Jin She couldn't help but think of what happened next.

In the clouds, it has been lost.

However, as an outpost inserted into the hinterland of the grassland, although the city in the clouds was 'completely annihilated', in a sense, it did not completely live up to its 'early warning' duty.

It is true that the city in the clouds is broken, the military households in the city are almost wiped out, and all the young and strong soldiers have fled, which is indeed a thing that hurts the morale of the Han family's army;

But from a practical point of view, whether the city is lost or not lost does not have much difference and impact on Jin She's next strategic layout.

- If the clouds are not broken, then the beacon fire will inevitably be ignited, and Jin She will receive an early warning and begin to dispatch troops to prepare for battle;

Right now, Yunzhong has been lost, although Cai Yannian ran away before he even had time to light the beacon fire, but the early warning of the 'Huns attacking' was also sent to the commander of this battle: Jin She, in another way.

Everything Jin She had to do next was exactly the same as the situation when Yunzhong City was not lost: determine the direction and strength of the Huns, and make military movements in response.

If there is anything different, that is, if the clouds are not lost, Jin She may have one more plan to rush to the aid of the clouds, and by the way, sandwich the Huns outside the city in the clouds;

At present, Jin She can only garrison Mayi and wait for the arrival of the Huns.

As for Cloud City, as well as the loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of people, it was no longer in Jin Xi's consideration.

- Anyway, even if the clouds are not broken, they will inevitably be surrounded by the Huns inside and outside three or five times; In this battle, Jin She couldn't count on Yunzhong at all.

In the case that Yunzhong is not breached, Yunzhong City only needs to guarantee that it will not be breached, or even just guarantee that it will not be breached by the Huns too quickly and too easily.

As for the destruction of Yunda, as well as the loss of the population in Yunzhong, it is a matter of post-war reconstruction and does not belong to the scope of Jin She's consideration.

"Can the Marquis of Thorn Pu send back a letter?"

After thinking about it, Leng Buding opened his mouth to ask, and saw Wei Weili on the side stepping forward.

"Yesterday evening, the Marquis of Thorn Pu reported: The seven colonels of the Flying Fox Commander's Department, more than 14,000 soldiers, have all been sent out of the Flying Fox;"

"At the latest, you can arrive in Mayi."

Hearing this, Jin She only nodded heavily, and immediately subconsciously raised his left hand a little;

"Please also ask the Captain of the Guard, wait for a certain repair book, and send it to the Marquis of Thorn Pu: the Flying Fox Captain's Department, don't rush to help Ma Yi;"

"Although Hu is coming from the clouds, it is not yet known whether he can have other deviant routes, or divide his troops and want to attack the rest of the border wall."

"The Marquis of Thorn Pu led his troops out of the Flying Fox Tour, and traveled west to the turn of Yan-Dai, and the line of the Great Wall of Yanbei was immediately ambushed."

"If there is an enemy attacking Yanbei, the Flying Fox Army can go out to respond to the enemy first, and then report to a certain person!"

Hearing this, Li Jizi nodded hurriedly, then turned around and walked towards the city of Mayi.

- Flying Fox Commander, the only 'mobile force' on the north wall of the Han family, stationed in the deep mountains and old forests in the Flying Fox all year round, doing nothing all year round, just practicing day and night;

In wartime, when any part of the north was attacked by the Huns, the Flying Fox Commander would send soldiers and horses as firefighters as appropriate.

And this battle is the first time since the establishment of the Flying Fox Commander's Department, that is, the Flying Fox Army, that is, the Flying Fox Army!

If this battle could not achieve the result that Jin Shu wanted, it would be an unprecedented catastrophe for the entire northern defense line of the Han Dynasty·······

"The head is cut off and hung on the wall of Mayi!"

"Corpses and canine food!"

lowered his head with a gloomy face, and saw the two sections of Cai Yannian that were already cold, Jin She only let out a deep sigh irritably!

When the soldier beside him stepped forward and cut off Cai Yannian's head, Jin She walked towards the city gate not far away with heavy thoughts.

- What will be the outcome of this battle, Jin Shu does not know;

But the rod was sent less than a day ago, and the few sticks that were being stored in the Mayi County Ya at the moment reminded Jin She all the time: Jin She can't afford to lose this battle········

Not only Jin She can't afford to lose, Liu Ying can't afford to lose, but the entire Han family can't afford to lose either··········
