Chapter 173 - siege
A hundred thousand Song Army s headed towards the Chang'an City. Some of the female experts on the city wall finally discovered that something was amiss.
Last night was the same. The Forbidden Army wanted to sneak attack Tongguan, but in the end, they were discovered by the defending army of Tongguan. In the end, they had no choice but to fight against the defending army of Tongguan. However, Chang'an's situation was very different from Tongguan. Chang'an City was much larger, so even if an alarm was issued, the defending army would not have arrived at the first possible moment! Furthermore, the walls of the Chang'an City were too long, so the Song Army could descend from different directions. No one knew which direction the Song Army was the strongest on the land!
Without waiting for the arrival of Valkyrie and the defending army of Chidan, the Song Army had already occupied the north gate!
Then, with a loud bang, the north gate was opened, and countless Song Army entered the Chang'an City!
Song Army had been preparing for this battle for a long time and had planned this for a long time. The Imperial Guards, the Jingyuan Army and the Tsinghua Army all had their own directions of attack. As for Valkyrie and Qi Dan, they were not prepared at all. Even if they woke up, they did not have any organisation, and all of them were itinerant and scattered. How could they fight against the entire troop of Song Army?
In just an hour, the battle on the city walls had ended!
Wan Yanhaili was currently sleeping, and just at that moment, the door was knocked open!
Even so, Wan Yanhaili still had not woken up!
"Warranty? Warranty? " A shout came from the side!
But Wan Yanhaili slept too deeply, and still did not wake up!
The people at the side were helpless, one of them raised his hand, and fiercely slapped Wan Yanhaili's face!
After a few slaps, Wan Yanhaili finally opened his sleepy eyes!
"What happened? It seems like someone hit me just now? " Wan Yanhaili yawned and mumbled.
The people beside him all had helpless looks on their faces! Although this Wan Yanhaili was Wanyan Loushi's nephew and cousin of Wan Yanhuonv, his abilities were simply too low.
"General, this is not good. The Chinese have entered the city!" Ye Lvyudu was also here at the moment, as he said anxiously.
"What did you say?" The Chinese have entered the city? " Wan Yanhaili said in shock.
"That's right!" Just an hour ago, they had already launched an attack on the Chang'an City! We are no match for them! " Ye Lvyudu said.
"What are you talking about? The Chinese besieging the city was just a bluff. They were just trying to deceive their emperor! Do you really think they have the ability to defeat the Chang'an City? " Wan Yanhaili said.
"General, they have already entered the city! Smell the stench of blood in the air! " Ye Lvyudu said anxiously.
"What?" Wan Yanhaili then regained his senses, and after a while, his face changed greatly as he said: "The Chinese are really entering the city? What do we do now? "
"General, we need to escape from Chang'an as soon as possible!" Now, we still have a chance. When the sun rises tomorrow, it will be impossible for us to escape! " Ye Lvyudu said.
"Alright!" Wan Yanhaili immediately got up from the bed!
He was used to sleeping naked, but right now, he was completely naked! He anxiously searched for clothes, but could not find them after a long time! Ye Lvyudu could not bear to see this, so he grabbed a sheet and draped it over Wan Yanhaili's shoulders, and said: "General, let's leave this place first! Time is running out! "
Wan Yanhaili became furious and said: "I am a true noble woman, how can I go out like this?"
Ye Lvyudu curled his lips, thinking that his Nvzhen was only a barbarian in the past, hiding in the depths of the mountains while wearing beast skin clothes, only knowing how to catch fish! It's only been a few years, and you say it's a noble? How ridiculous! But as a Qi Dan person, he would definitely not dare to offend the Nvzhen Wan Yanhaili! After that, he could only get someone to light the lamp, and search for Wan Yanhaili's clothes! After he found his clothes, Wan Yanhaili was fully dressed and prepared to leave!
However, at this time, a loud sound came from outside.
"What's wrong?" Wan Yanhaili turned pale with fright.
At that moment, Ye Lvyudu could no longer be bothered with Wan Yanhaili, and started running out of the cave! Seeing that something was wrong, Wan Yanhaili also ran outside!
But Wan Yanhaili's speed was too slow, after a moment, countless Song Army rushed into the courtyard!
Wan Yanhaili was anxious and afraid, but at this moment, the countless arrows had already pierced through the sky! Wan Yanhaili's face was first hit by the arrow, then he let out a scream, and his chest was hit by another arrow, falling onto the ground!
"This damned Nvzhen, caused me to not escape in time! What true noble woman, just a barbarian! " Ye Lvyudu scolded angrily in his heart at this moment, but he was already very close to the palace wall, and a relaxed expression finally appeared on his face!
However, just as he climbed over the manor wall, he suddenly realised that there were also countless Song Army s at the entrance!
In the blink of an eye, countless arrows were shot at him!
Ye Lvyudu was shocked, he waved the steel blade in his hand, and a few arrows were shot by him, but the arrows gradually became more and more, and Ye Lvyudu was finally unable to resist, and died there!
When the sun rose, the Chang'an City finally quieted down! At the moment, the place was very quiet. Snow was falling and the bodies and blood were gradually being buried!
The Song Army was tidying up the battlefield, and Zhao Chen and Zhao Chen, accompanied by the Managed, had also entered the Chang'an City!
Zhao Chen stood on top of the Chang'an City's city walls and observed the scenery in the distance!
This is Guan Shan's number one city, also the number one city in the northwest! Compared to the Hanzhong City, the Chang'an City was much more majestic! In history, this place had become the capital of China several times! In the time of the Han and Tang Dynasties, this place was the center of all kingdoms and even the entire world! Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and Tang Tai Zong had all ascended the throne here to become emperors! Of course, this place had encountered countless disasters. This place had been destroyed several times, and then it had been rebuilt several times!
Looking at the Chang'an City in front of him, Zhao Chen suddenly felt a vicissitudes of life pass through his heart!
"Happy, the people are suffering! Death, the suffering of the people! " Zhao Chen suddenly remembered the words from the Tongguan!
Chang'an City was a city that could understand the principle of "suffering the lives of its citizens" the most! When Qin Shihuang was in power, he constructed a three hundred li long Acropolis Palace. Who knew how many commoners fell during the process of building the palace! When the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was at the end of the Han Dynasty, its territory had reached the peak of history. However, the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was at the end of the Han Dynasty when the Han Dynasty was at the end of the history of the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. In the period of time that followed, there was naturally no need to talk about the military disaster that befell this place! Several dynasties later, this place was met with a calamity! At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow Nest went on a rampage. At that time, the Yellow Nest defeated the Tang Dynasty soldiers and entered Chang An, writing a bold poem about "Soaring Fragrance Formation for Chang An, the whole city was covered in Golden Armour". Unfortunately, Chang An became extremely excited because of him, and even at the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's prosperity was not restored yet!
"What is His Majesty sighing about?" Wang Shu came to Zhao Chen's side and smiled.
Wang Shu was extremely excited. Now that the Song Army had settled down, it could be said that his plan of counterattacking the Guan Shan was already halfway done! Right now, there were still some cities in the Shaanxi that were occupied by Valkyrie, but those were no longer sufficient for the Dao! Of course, the terrain of the Shaanxi was complicated, all sorts of powers were present there, and it would take a while to take down that place. However, relatively speaking, that place was no longer a big threat. Wang Shu was curious as to why Zhao Chen did not have a happy expression on his face.
"I am sighing over the countless disasters that the Chang'an City has experienced! The invasion of the female real was also a disaster! The citizens of Chang'an City must have suffered greatly! " Zhao Chen said.
"Yeah, the citizens of Chang'an City must have suffered a lot in the past two years!" Wang Shu also sighed softly and said.
As the two of them were speaking, a clamor suddenly came from below!
"What happened?" Wang Shu immediately asked.
"Your majesty, your majesty, there are some of the citizens of the Chang'an City coming down below. They wish to pay their respects to your majesty!" A Royal soldiers hurried over and said.
"Let them come up!" Zhao Chen said.
After a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard from below. A lot of civilians had climbed up from below!
There were old and young, men and women. They all had one thing in common, and that was that they all looked extremely miserable! They were dressed very thinly, and their bodies looked abnormally thin! Many people still had wounds on their bodies. Some of these wounds were caused by whips, while others were caused by swords or sabers!
They had never seen Zhao Chen before, but now that they saw a young man wearing a dragon robe standing there, they immediately knew that this young man was Song Dynasty's Son of Heaven, the former Crown Prince's Zhao Chen!
"This commoner pays his respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! " Hundreds of people kneeled on the city wall and shouted in unison.
"Both of you, rise!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, many thanks to you for expelling the true female Tataru and saving Chang'an! "If you don't come now, I'm afraid we will all die at the hands of this woman!" The commoners still did not stand up. Their eyes were actually filled with gratitude. At that moment, an old man with completely white hair said.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles. He looked to be over sixty years old! His body was incredibly weak, and he was also swaying slightly on his knees!
"Old man, hurry up and rise!" Zhao Chen said.
The old man stood up. Other than feeling grateful, there were also tears in his eyes!
"Elder, what are you crying for?" Zhao Chen said.
"I was thinking that if Your Majesty had come a month earlier, my son, my daughter-in-law, my two daughters would not have died in the hands of a woman!" The old man said.
The rest of the citizens also stood up. Many of them had tears in their eyes!
"What's going on?" Zhao Chen said.
