Chapter three hundred and thirteenth city gate fierce battle

Although it is known as an important town in the north, Jincheng is not considered solid. Since Emperor Wu took an offensive against the Huns, Jincheng located in Senei has not encountered foreign attacks. It has been disrepair and has slackened in defense. In such a large city, there are less than a thousand guards.

On a night when everyone was unprepared, the Huns suddenly besieged the city without any warning in advance, as if they had emerged from the ground, otherwise the Great Wall in the north would collapse for no reason.

No matter what the reason, the officials and people in Jincheng were all in horror for this.

There are people everywhere on the streets, some come out to inquire about the situation, some call their wives and children to hide, and some are so scared that they burst into tears.

Fan Chuanshan led a thousand soldiers to line up on the street, facing the city gate, without riding horses. Their mission was to guard the city gate to meet the northern army outside, rather than charge into battle. He was very annoyed by the people who cried and shouted, and specially sent a team of soldiers to gallop back and forth to drive away those approaching, so as not to be disturbed later.

The shouts outside the city were getting louder and louder, and even through the heavy city gate, Fan Chuanshan was a stubborn temper, no matter how many enemies there were outside, the louder the screams, the more excited he stood in front, and said softly to the long axe in his hand: "Brother, I'll see you tonight, don't embarrass my brother, I will repay you later, rinse with the cleanest water, polish with the hardest stones, and wipe with the cleanest rag to ensure that you are as sharp as before..."

The soldiers behind them held back their laughter, glanced at the weapons in their hands, and gave a few instructions in their hearts.

Someone shouted above the city gate tower: "Your Majesty has an order! Open the city gate! Prepare to receive it!"

Fan Chuanshan roared: "Abide by the order!"

The soldiers in the city gate began to take action, and Fan Chishan strode forward. He knew that as long as he opened a crack, an enemy might rush in.

"No opening of the city gate! No opening!" someone shouted.

Fan Chishan turned around and saw several people galloping among two rows of soldiers, frowning, and fighting was imminent, and anyone who broke into the army was a serious crime.

Those who come do not know the sin and are not afraid of sin.

The fat Dai Wang turned over and got off the horse. He hadn't run so hard for at least twenty years. He could hardly breathe and shouted at the city gate, "No...no opening!"

The gatekeepers were all soldiers of Dai Kingdom. When they heard the orders of the King Dai, they all stopped.

After all, Fan Chuanshan has been an official for many years and dared not act rashly in the face of the princes, so he said patiently: "Your Highness, it is Your Majesty's will to open the door and contact him."

"I'll go to see Your Majesty, and then go, tell him not to open the door. There are too many Huns outside... Before I come back, no door is allowed to open it. Those who open the door will be killed." Dai Wang shook his fat body and walked towards the city wall, stepped on the steps and stopped step by step, and then he could continue to take steps.

Fan Chishan was anxious to see, and the shouts outside became louder and louder. When he looked up, no one leaned out of the city tower, and the emperor obviously didn't hear the sound below.

"Open the door!" Fan Chishan shouted loudly.

The soldiers in the city gate held a torch and did not move.

The four followers of the King of Dai were left behind, and at this time waved their hands together, "Can't open, can't open, the King of Dai has an order..."

"The order of King Dai is greater than the imperial edict?" Fan Chuanshan could no longer help but come to the follower's horse in two steps, lifted his axe and chopped down one of the followers.

Everyone was shocked, but no one made any noise.

Fan Chuanshan shouted again: "Don't you open the door yet?"

The remaining three followers asked their mother to make way in a hurry, and the soldiers in the door hurriedly turned around, unlocked the lock and unplugged the bolt, and slowly opened the city gate.

After climbing halfway through the steps, Dai Wang turned around and looked down, sat down, and shouted angrily: "Bastard! Your Majesty and the people of the whole city died at your hands!"

Fan Chushan didn't care about that. Anyway, the emperor ordered that he just wanted to rush out and kill him and speed up his pace into the door.

The latch of the city gate was just taken away when suddenly it was knocked open from outside, and the soldiers inside the gate were bounced down.

A big man in heavy armor rushed in on foot, shouting, holding up his weapon high, and was also a long axe. The shape was slightly different, the axe body was longer, the axe blade was slightly shorter, and it was rougher.

The two axe-holding warriors were stunned for a moment, and at the same time they rose up and swung their axes toward each other.

Fan Chushan was only a little faster and chopped the enemy's helmet and head into two halves. The opponent's long axe was almost pressed against his shoulders. Fan Chushan ignored it and spat on the ground.

There were people outside the city gate, mostly not like the Huns, but infantrymen of unknown origin. Fan Chushan couldn't control so many, and he turned a long axe in his hand and chopped him in circles. Wherever he went, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The Dai soldiers who were shot to the ground by the city gate were stunned and sat on the ground and never stood up.

The soldiers behind Fan Chushan rushed up, spears like a forest, and advanced step by step, but there were also many enemy soldiers outside, and they forced to form a wall with their bodies.

The two sides fought bloody battles and refused to give in.

Han Ruzi was waiting for news on the city tower that the northern army outside the city had retreated outside the city gate, less than a mile away, with a bridge and countless enemy soldiers in the middle.

The Huns outside the city gave up shooting at the city gate tower and instead besieged the Northern Army. Han Ruzi looked out. Although it was dark and there were no torches on both sides of the war, he could still see the tragic battle clearly. The Northern Army advanced hard under the enemy's siege, and continued to fall.

He hoped that Fan Chushan could open the passage faster and respond to the Northern Army soldiers.

"His Majesty……"

A crying scream suddenly came from behind him. Han Ruzi was startled and thought that another city gate had been broken, so he hurriedly turned around, "What's the matter?"

The fat Dai King knelt on the ground, more like a meat ball, and cried: "Your Majesty, you can't open the door, General Fan will kill His Majesty..."

Han Ruzi was angry and said in a deep voice: "There are thousands of soldiers outside the city, all of whom are elite soldiers of the Northern Army. If they do not open the door to respond, they will inevitably be trapped in the enemy and will not survive. If they have their help, Jincheng may be able to defend for a longer time."

"No, Your Majesty, there are too many Huns, and you can't close the city gate if you open it..."

"Did you see the Huns?"

"Not yet...it's said..."

"Come and have a look."

The emperor stood by the wall, but King Dai did not dare to go forward and collapsed there, as if he could not stand up. Several guards stepped forward and set up King Dai together.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The King of Dai screamed like a pig, but the guards were not considerate at all and forced him to the wall.

"Did you see the Huns?" Han Ruzi asked.

The King Dai knelt on the ground, with his hands on the city wall, only exposing his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and replied in a trembling voice: "Look, I saw it."

“Are there many?”

"many."

"Can Jincheng be defended?"

"I, I don't know."

"There are six gates in Jincheng, and three sections of the city walls with gaps. A total of nine places need to be strictly defended. The soldiers in the city are less than 3,000. If you do not get the help of the three thousand northern troops outside the city, Jincheng will not last until dawn and you and I will be captured by foreign races. That will be the biggest defeat since the founding of the Great Chu."

Although the Great Chu was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the Dingding of the Ding of the Ding, no emperor ever fell into the hands of the Huns.

King Dai didn't dare to speak anymore. Looking at the Hun cavalry roaring in the dark, his heart was broken and his legs were weak, so he really couldn't stand up.

A roar suddenly came from the city, and Fan Chushan finally opened a bloody road. He had already rushed to the edge of the bridge, with a long axe open and closed, and was invincible. The soldiers behind him were spears outwards, driving the enemy soldiers to both sides.

"What an invincible general!" Cui Teng kept guarding the emperor's side, and at this time he praised sincerely, and even felt an impulse to go down and fight side by side with Fan Chushan, but it was just an impulse. His feet were still firmly standing in the same place, comforting himself and saying that it was more important to protect the emperor.

The King Dai sat down on the ground, panting heavily, completely overwhelmed by the huge panic.

The vanguard of the Northern Army outside the city also saw Fan Chushan, and his morale was greatly boosted and he accelerated. He finally met on the bridge.

Fan Chushan was so angry that he almost cut off the first Northern Army soldier who came. After recognizing the identity of the visitor, he retreated back to the bridge and rushed towards the flanks to open the passage wider.

The Northern Army rode a horse across the bridge into the city. Han Ruzi silently counted on the city tower, and couldn't help but feel a chill. There were too few people entering the city, only more than a thousand people, and the remaining Northern Army was unknown where they were trapped.

But he could no longer let the city gate open, and the Hun cavalry outside the city followed. Fan Chushan, no matter how powerful he was, could not stop the arrows falling like rain.

The soldiers on the city wall received an order and shot at the bridge on the moat, trying to block the Hun cavalry on the other side. Fan Chushan cut over several more enemies, and then turned back to the city under the repeated urging of the soldiers.

The city gate slowly closed, and some enemy troops followed into the city and immediately fell into a siege and failed to capture the city gate.

A message came from below, "The city gate is closed!"

Han Ruzi breathed a little relieved. The Huns who came to attack the city this time were not as good as he had imagined, and they were not well prepared. They changed their plans in the middle and did not have a clear main attack direction, giving Jincheng a chance to breathe.

"King Dai, you don't have to be afraid this time... King Dai, King Dai?" Cui Teng shouted a few times, bent down and pushed a few times, and said to the emperor in panic: "King Dai... is dead."

The Dai King, who had been enjoying the wine pool and meat forest for decades, was actually scared to death by the Huns on the gate tower of Jincheng.

Han Ruzi was also surprised, and took a few steps away and looked closely. Dai Wang's face turned blue, his lips opened, and he seemed to have stopped breathing for a while.

"Go and call the imperial physician." There were several imperial physicians in Han Ruzi's accompanying team. Although it was useless, he still had to take a look.

Cui Teng felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but couldn't say it, so he could only ask: "Is King Dai considered dying for his country?"

"Forget it." Han Ruzi sighed. He could not declare to the entire city that King Dai was scared to death.

Han Ruzi left the city gate tower and walked down the city. He met the general of the Northern Army. The general did not care about the etiquette and said anxiously: "Liaodong, the Xiongnu came from Liaodong."

"Liaodong?"

"I don't know the specific situation. It was Fuyu Kingdom that broke through the checkpoint. After the Huns entered the pass, they walked around the city and did not have time to deliver letters from all over the country."

Han Ruzi was stunned. It turned out that Meng E said something was right, but he had sent someone to issue an order to demand Liaodong to be vigilant against Fuyu Kingdom. How could he be compromised?

"How many Huns were there?"

The general was unable to answer, so he turned around and looked at the city. Several soldiers pushed a prisoner, a Hun.

Some people in the army could speak the Huns and asked, and the Huns stood proudly without kneeling, and answered a few quickly.

"All the Huns, who can enter the pass, have come in." Tongzhi looked at the emperor, his face pale, "There are more than 8,000 vanguards, and there are more behind them. The Great Shanyu will soon arrive in person."
