Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 423 Ji City Before Dawn
Chapter 430 Ji City Before Dawn
The overwhelming Hun cavalry galloped wantonly on the vast prairie amidst the sound of long horns.Every time they saw the giant wolf flag hanging high in the sky, endless fanaticism and reverence filled everyone's eyes.

In just a few months, the Yuezhi and Donghu people, who had been entangled with the Huns for many years and even oppressed for a time, had to retreat to Langjuxu Mountain, the holy land of the Huns, were destroyed one after another by Maodun Shanyu.Let Modu's authority over the entire Huns be unstoppable.

Invading the Central Plains several times before, it was like entering an uninhabited territory on the territory of Zhao State, and even besieged the capital of Zhao State for several months.If it weren't for the hot weather in the south, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, would have been completely conquered by them.

This time they went south, although they were dealing with the Qin people, but the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers were not panicked, and even had a little hope.

Everyone hopes that with the power of this battle, the Qin people's undefeated record will be completely broken.

The news that the Huns were going south could not be hidden from the secret agents of Qin who were hiding on the grassland.

These people went south quickly one after another, trying to find a way to send the news to Liaodong.

Li Xin sits in Yuyang, Meng Tian himself is the only commander in Jicheng, but Zang Tu seems to have plans to make a comeback, Meng Tian has no choice but to bring a few elites to quell the rebellion.

It can be said that with Meng Tian's departure, the entire Jiuyuan army is now leaderless.

If at this time Maodun led the Xiongnu army southward to attack Jiuyuan, then the Jiuyuan army would be undefeated.The situation is certainly worrying.

The importance of Liaodong is self-evident to Da Qin.So from the moment they set foot on the galloping road, these guards of the Black Ice Platform who delivered the news ran wildly all the way.In addition to necessary rest, they often changed their horses at the stations along the way and set off immediately.

Night falls.

Darkness enveloped the entire world.

The vast land is completely silent.Jicheng, shrouded in infinite darkness, overlooks the vast land of Yan Kingdom.

As night fell, Jicheng, which had been noisy all day, gradually fell silent.The huge city gate was tightly closed, and groups of soldiers from the Nine Plains Army patrolled back and forth on the city wall.

Under Ying Gang's policy order, all the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong were incorporated into the army and accepted the transfer uniformly.

On the one hand, it increased the military strength of Liaodong, and at the same time, it also made the entire Liaodong into an indestructible Great Wall of Steel.

God, it's almost dawn.

At this moment, a rush of horseshoes came from the avenue outside Jiuyuan City, and the sound seemed to be galloping towards Jicheng in the dawn. The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were patrolling the city wall heard the sound of horseshoes All of a sudden they were shocked.

There was a sudden bang on the wall of the quiet Jicheng City.

In less than a few tens of breaths of time, the seemingly empty wall crenels were already filled with soldiers of the Nine Plains Army.Countless sculpture-like soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army stood quietly on the tall city wall, waiting for the knight who came straight to the city to show up.

As the elite guarding the northern border of Great Qin all the year round.The night soldiers on the city wall could easily hear how many people there were from the sound of horseshoes.Obviously, there are less than ten knights running towards Jicheng.

The knights outside the city were advancing very fast, and within a moment they could clearly hear the yelling of the knights urging their horses. It seemed that these knights who suddenly appeared at the darkest hour before dawn were extremely impatient.

The sound of swift horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and even the rapid snorting of war horses could be heard above the city wall.

"Who is coming?"

A loud shout suddenly sounded from above the city wall.

It was the general on duty at night who was shouting.

Hearing the shout on the city wall, none of the several knights running from the avenue replied, and they did not stop their galloping speed.

"Clap!"

A few crisp cracks of whips were especially harsh amidst the dull sound of horseshoes.Obviously, the knight on the avenue not only did not stop to answer, but even lashed the war horse under his crotch a few times.It seems like they are going to break through the city wall of Jicheng with just a few rides.

The general of the Jiuyuan Army on the city wall saw that the knights under the city wall not only ignored his shouts, but even accelerated the speed of the gallop, and a pair of leopard eyes shot out a frightening light.

In such a situation, either the heads of the knights rushing up below were caught by the door, or they had something to rely on.And be able to ride a horse and gallop.Obviously their heads are still good, so there is only one explanation, they have something to rely on, and they may even be Qin people.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the leopard-eyed general, and he waved his hand lightly.

Following the actions of this general, the sound of "creaking and creaking" was immediately connected at the top of the city.

The soldiers of the Nine Plains Army who were standing still like sculptures at the top of the city drew the bowstrings of their powerful crossbows one after another, and the small black crossbow arrows radiated a cold light under the reflection of the torches.

And the place where the light was directed was obviously the knights who were coming under the city.

Under the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. If the enemy army really attacked at this time, Jicheng would be really in danger.

Moreover, there is a curfew in Jicheng at night, even the people of Qin cannot casually attack such important military sites in the middle of the night.

"I'm going to say it again, who is under the city? Report your name, if you don't reply again, don't blame me for the lack of crossbow arrows in the Jiuyuan Army after ten breaths."

Hearing the sound of horseshoes getting closer and closer to the city, General Leopard Eye raised a palm with a cold expression.

Hearing the words of the Leopard-eyed General, the soldiers of the Nine Plains Army on the city wall raised the crossbow slightly at an angle, and waited for the hand of the Leopard-eyed General to put down. All the crossbow arrows will be shot out immediately, and the offenders will be shot and killed on the spot.

Most of these Jiuyuan Army soldiers had participated in the fight with the barbaric Huns, and each of them killed at least one or even several Huns. The murderous aura of thousands of soldiers gathered together, and immediately made several knights under the city wall Shocked and angry.

The spies from the Black Ice Platform who came to spread the news originally walked in the dark, so it can be said that they are the most sensitive to murderous intent.

Because no one knows how many traitors died in their hands.However, at this moment, they did not expect that the Jiuyuan Army soldiers would have such terrifying murderous aura.

Feeling this strong murderous intent, they had no doubt that if they waited for others to continue to answer, they were afraid that they would be overwhelmed by the overwhelming crossbow arrows on the city wall as soon as ten breaths passed.

The reason why they didn't answer before was because they drove nearly three hundred miles in the middle of the night and didn't drink a drop of water.They were afraid that they would let out the breath they had been holding in their hearts when they waited for someone to speak, and they would fall to the ground.

But now, it is obviously impossible to rush all the way under the city wall.

One of the leading knights was the first to stop the horses 150 paces outside the city wall.

Immediately after him, the four fast horses also stopped behind him.If someone could be by their side at this time, they would have noticed that as they stopped galloping, the five knights, including the horses under their crotches, were crumbling immediately.It seemed that he would fall to the ground the next moment.

"We are the secret agents of the Black Ice Platform. If there is an urgent military situation, we need to report it to General Meng Tian quickly, and open the door quickly."
