Chapter 83: Soldier Kou Chang'an
"The Huns army is coming, the whole city is on guard! The Huns army is coming, the whole city is on guard! The Huns army is coming, the whole city is on guard!" In Chang'an City, a fast horse ran on the Zhuque Street, shouting, and the horse ran towards the direction of the palace.
Countless people showed panic expressions on their faces and flew towards their own homes. For a moment, they were in chaos. The people with crowded heads at the city gate had already rushed into the city with horror.
"Three armies prepare for war!" On the city tower, a general of Xiliang with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist looked at the people under the city like ant tide. A hint of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Close the city gate!"
"But General, our people are still outside!" A captain pointed at Han De and his group who were running quickly here and said hesitantly.
"I don't care about so much, so I must not let the Huns break into the city gate!" The general shook his head and said firmly.
"But..." The captain wanted to say something, but looking at the thicker black line that had appeared in the distance at the end of his sight, he sighed and said nothing more. The Xiliang army in the Sanfu area can be regarded as elite soldiers who have experienced battle formations for many years. At this moment, he naturally knew that although it was far away, if the city gate was not closed in time at this time, if he waited for Han De and others to enter the city at the speed of the cavalry, he would not have time to close the city gate at all, and it would be very likely that the Huns would take advantage of the opportunity to enter.
"Close the city gate!" sighed lightly, the school did not refute anymore, and quickly ordered the soldiers to start expelling the winch.
Crunch~ Crunch~
Accompanied by dull sounds and the desperate roars and howlings of the people outside the city gate, the suspension bridge was slowly pulled up, and the thick city gate was slowly closed under the push of several soldiers.
Han De had already protected Cai Yan's frame and came to the city gate. Looking at the hanging suspension bridge, his heart sank, and the soldiers behind him were already shouting and scolding.
"Miss, what should I do?" In the carriage, the maid Xin'er had already seen the suspension bridge being pulled up and the city gate was closed. She grabbed Cai Yan's clothes in panic and said.
Cai Yan's face turned pale, and he bit his lip lightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Outside the carriage, Han De looked at the Hun Wolf Rider who was already gradually clear in his sight. He took a deep breath, looked at his subordinates, and shouted loudly: "What are you panic! Arrange the array with your back! Push the frame forward for me."
"Roar!" The three hundred soldiers subconsciously roared and quickly set off the formation, and at the same time lined up the frames that Cai Yan brought out in front as a cover.
Han De came to Cai Yan's car, took a deep breath, and bowed: "Miss, I am incompetent and failed to protect the lady. I have asked the soldiers to use the frame as a cover. Please don't blame me."
"The general doesn't have to be too polite." In the frame, Cai Yan sighed quietly: "These things are dead after all, how can they be as precious as the lives of the soldiers? If they were not for me, they would not be trapped in danger. They were all implicated by me."
"Miss is so serious." Han De felt warm in his heart and immediately said, "I'd like to get off the car. Since we have received the military order, we must protect the lady even if we fight to the death."
"It's time for you to do it, General Xin'er, let's get off the car." The curtain of the car opened, and Cai Yan got off the carriage with the help of Han De.
The people around who were already preparing to flee were seeing the official army here, and quickly came over. Han De didn't care about so much at this moment and ordered three hundred soldiers to protect Cai Yan's master and servant at the end.
"Boom~"
The Huns did not pay attention to any cavalry formation, but when thousands of Hun wolf cavalry gathered together and appeared in sight with the power that seemed to be about to break everything, the fierce momentum caused the three hundred Xiliang troops outside the city gate to transform into tragic changes. The three hundred Xiliang elite troops were tested for a long time, and even faced with enemies far exceeding their own side, they could still remain calm. However, the refugees around obviously did not have this ability to withstand pressure. Some had been scattered to both sides, and some even jumped into the moat.
Many people fell to the ground softly, and cries and scolding sounded.
"Don't move, leave the protection of the city wall, and you think the Huns will let you go!" Han De rode his horse, galloping around, constantly stopping the people from scattering. Unfortunately, the results were very little.
"Yoyoyo~"
But in this moment, the Hun wolf cavalry had already rushed to a five hundred steps outside the city. Several panicked people came forward, just like a small stone thrown into the surging waves. Without even arousing the waves, they were stepped on by the surging horse hooves into meat paste.
These Huns were not in a hurry to see that the gate of Chang'an City had been closed. With the roar of a leader of the Xiongnu general, the Hun wolf cavalry suddenly scattered and walked around the city wall. As long as they encountered people who were protected by the city wall, several or even dozens of people would come together. In just a moment, dozens of corpses were already added to the outside of the city wall.
There were even bold Hun wolf cavalry unscrupulously breaking into the garrison of the city wall defenders, luring the garrison on the city wall to fire arrows. With their superb riding skills, they avoided the rain of arrows. They laughed wildly and unscrupulously. At the moment when more arrows were shot, they rode their horses out of the range of the city wall defenders.
"Swish swish swish swish swish~"
As more and more Huns gathered outside the city wall, Huns began to pour arrows at the people below the city wall, and for a moment, screamed in tears.
"Boss, why don't we shoot arrows and fight back too!" Han De hid behind the frame with his men and horses. With the cover of the frame and the attacks of the Huns, he was not injured. A soldier came to Han De and looked at the Huns who were showing off their power in the distance, gritting his teeth.
"Our mission is to protect Miss Cai's safety, don't provoke them!" Han De said in a deep voice. Although it can work at this time, it will attract a fierce counterattack from the Huns. As soldiers, it is fate that they die on the battlefield, but at this moment, Cai Yan's master and servant are still present. If Cai Yan hurts, it is not easy to explain to His Majesty if he dies.
"But this is too cowardly!" The soldier punched the car frame hard and said angrily.
Han De didn't speak, but his face was also not good-looking. The Xiliang army was a fierce tribe from the border. Although it mainly fought against the Qiang people and suppressed the Qiang people, it also fought a lot with the Huns. When did it be so cowardly?
Many people who survived by chance finally learned their lessons and began to gather at Han De. In this way, the attacks of the Huns naturally began to concentrate here.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Just as everyone was feeling heavy, a young but majestic roar sounded from the city. Han De looked up in shock and saw a rain of arrows gathering like a dark cloud on the city, falling towards the Huns who had gathered in the distance.
