Jianye, the sudden appearance of the army of the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion did not make Jianye City fall into an abnormal panic, Jia Xu summoned the major families in Jianye City to come to discuss the matter, and at the same time asked people to send an order to the garrison of Longshou Pass Wan Chun to let him strengthen his vigilance and be sure to hold Longshou Pass, and at the same time sent a letter to Huiji and Liu Fan, asking them to be careful of the Praetorian Guards that may appear in other directions, as for supporting Jia Xu did not mention it at all, he knew that there would be no reinforcements, there were fierce battles everywhere, and a large number of troops were needed to replenish them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Rang's army is now close at hand, for the sake of your own net worth and life, I won't talk about the excess. Jia Xu found the heads of all the large and small families in the table of Jianye City, Liu Yu sat first, and even the queen mother of the empire sat there. And Yang Yayue, as Liu Fan's wife, naturally has to represent Liu Fan, and Xia Tielin is also the first to sit on the top with his whole body draped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Liuxia family, all the school-age children have joined the army, and now they are all fighting on the front line. As the rear, it is the responsibility of our two families to fight, and all the children of the two families will fight, regardless of gender, old and young. Liu Yu stood up first, it was a matter of the rise and fall of his Liu family, Liu Yu couldn't care about the death or injury of his children at this time, not to mention that their blood still had the blood of the proud god of war.

"Report!" As soon as Liu Yu's words were finished, a herald mutiny ran in, and his panicked face was covered with bloody armor undoubtedly telling others, and another military situation appeared: "Yu Jun Division, Longshou Pass has fallen, and the First Praetorian Guard Regiment is killing from Longshou Pass to Jianye City." Jingzhou's 50,000 naval troops plus 200,000 garrisons, and the remnants of the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion have also been drawn to the city one after another. ”

As soon as the herald finished speaking, the temperature in the entire council hall suddenly dropped to the extreme. The Dragon's Head Pass fell. What Jia Xu is most worried about is that it still happens. The strength of the First Praetorian Guard Legion is 300,000, plus the Third Praetorian Guard Legion that has reached the city, but the strength of the strong Praetorian Guard has reached 600,000, which is already 12 times the strength of Jianye City, not to mention the 50,000 naval army and 200,000 garrison troops in Jingzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the four families of my grandson's family are far away with 12,000 strong men to help defend the city. Sun Shao fought. He has been tied to Liu Fan on a chariot, and the Zhuang Zhuangding of the four families who assisted Liu Fan to form an army has already drawn blood once, this time even if they have the heart, they are unable to organize a large army to help defend the city, and now the four families can come up with 12,000 people It is their best effort.

Jia Xu looked at everyone's expressions expressionlessly, the expressions on everyone's faces were different, some were surprised, some were scared, and some were hesitating. Liu Fan has captured Jianye City for more than a year, and the deep hearts of the people of Jianye City can be seen from Jianye City's launch of Zhuangding to defend the city this time. In addition to the children who joined the army. Almost every family has a strong man to help defend the city, but the population base of Jianye City is placed there. After all, there were not many troops, and only 30,000 strong men were raised.

"Okay, since the four families are so bold, if I Qi someone twists and pinches, I will be sorry for the kindness of the prince's family, and I will send all the guys in the caravan to escort and assist in defending the city, and I will pay 200,000 taels of silver to assist the prince in organizing the city defense army. Qi Hao was the first to stand up, he had no direct interest relationship with the Liu family, but he was the first to stand up and make a statement, and as soon as he made a move, it was 200,000 taels of silver, which was enough to organize an army of 50,000.

"Since Brother Qi is so bold, I am embarrassed to pull it down, I will give 200,000 quintals of grain and grass, and 2,000 strong men. Gu Hong, a big grain merchant, also came out of the battle, with these two people taking the lead, the rest of the families naturally contributed more or less money, grain, and people to assist the defenders of Jianye City to defend the city.

"I, Liu Yu, on behalf of the royal family, thank you for your great help, if you are lucky enough to pass the test this time, you are all the great benefactors of my Liu family, thank you!" Liu Yu stood up, Xia Tielin and the Queen Mother also stood up, and everyone hurriedly stood up and said that they didn't dare to dare.

Soon, Jianye City organized a temporary army of 50,000 people, with a total of 800,000 taels of silver and 600,000 taels of grain and grass to help defend the city. However, Jianye City was short of materials for defending the city, especially arrows and heavy equipment for defending the city.

The school-age children of Liu Xia's two families have already followed Liu Fan to the battle, and they are all old and young who stay in the city, this time they all put down their work and joined the army defending the city. Young soldiers under the age of 18 and elderly soldiers over the age of 40 were organized into the barracks. Xia Xuelian and He Ying are also dressed in battle, this time they have no chance to choose, although Yang Yayue will not go into battle, but Yang Qiming is all dressed in the body and screams the young soldiers, Yang Yayue did not hesitate at all this time.

"Sister, I'm leaving. Yang Qiming was wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, standing at the door and saying goodbye to Yang Yayue, Zhang Rang killed their whole family, now his only reliance is Liu Fan, as a man, Yang Qiming must stand up at this time, standing at the door and Liu Fan's younger brothers and sisters who are only more than ten years old, the youngest brother is now just three years old, watching those brothers and sisters wear armor and go to the barracks in the arms of his family.

"You must protect yourself well on the battlefield, remember that the Wenwu Hou family started with military merits, and when they arrived on the battlefield, they must fight bravely to kill the enemy. Yang Yayue bit her lip and tried not to cry, but there were cries everywhere at the gate, so that Yang Yayue couldn't help but shed tears, she couldn't go to the battlefield, she organized women and children in the rear to rescue the wounded soldiers, boil water and cook for the soldiers.

Tut, toot, toot, three frequent horns sounded, this is the horn of the army's emergency assembly, Yang Qiming wiped his tears for his sister with a smile, and followed the eldest Liu Fei, who was only fifteen years old, turned around and drove towards the barracks, followed by the descendants of the Liu family, the youngest was only eight years old, but they all stepped on the battlefield without hesitation, because they were proudly God of War clan. The same scene also happened at the door of the Xia family, only this time the younger one who led the team was only twelve years old.

The sound of trumpets broke the heavy atmosphere of Jianye City, and the strong men who had been sent off from all over the city gathered in the barracks, where they would be assigned weapons and a set of armor, and they would go to the head of the city to accept the cruel baptism of war. Zhang Yun is also anxious to the ants on the hot pot at the head of the city, Longshou Pass is stationed by his cronies, I didn't expect that the military report here has not been sent out, and the Longshou Pass has fallen, and now Zhang Rang's army can attack Jianye through the continuous increase of troops in Longshou Road, Jianye City's troops are weak, whether it can hold the first wave of attack, Zhang Yun's heart has no bottom.

The standoff between the two sides was broken by the sound of heavy war drums, and the 3rd Praetorian Guard began to launch the first official attack after the infantry had all arrived at Jianye City. Tens of thousands of infantry with heavy armor slowly walked the camp, followed by the main force of this siege, light infantry, which made Zhang Yun breathe a sigh of relief What made Zhang Yun breathe a sigh of relief was that now they did not have many siege equipment in their hands, only hundreds of ladders.

"Don't panic, everyone, the shieldbearers hold their shields and prepare them against arrows, the archers prepare to shoot arrows, and the pikemen line up behind them. Zhang Yun shouted loudly and commanded his already panicked subordinates to stabilize themselves, not to mention these 50,000 recruits who had not been on the battlefield, even Zhang Yun felt a trace of fear in the face of the strong murderous aura of the Third Legion. The Third Praetorian Legion, the Empire's victorious legion, has never had an enemy they can't defeat, and now Jianye can really hold it under their attack?

Knock knock, the drums of war rang out violently, and the Third Legion, which had been lined up, slowly advanced in a neat slogan, and the archers who followed behind slowly followed with bows and arrows. Zhang Yun grabbed the battlements with both hands, and his fingers were already deeply embedded in the battlements. The soldiers of the Third Legion did not charge, and took up their positions two hundred paces from the city, which happened to be the distance from which the defenders of the city could fire the greatest arrows.
