Enemy attack? The soldiers looked at the night outside the city very confused, and the night outside the city was very quiet, only the urgent cries of the commanders on the city walls.

The piercing gong sounded, and the soldiers on the city wall were a little dazed, where was the enemy?

Qianhu, who was defending the city, finally couldn't help but ask, "My lord, how can there be any enemies?" ”

Zhao Yong looked at the quiet night sky outside the city, and didn't know how to answer for a while, in fact, he also had some doubts in his heart, is there really an enemy?

Tang Ning strode over, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao, immediately mobilize all the soldiers and horses to defend the city, send someone to inform Lord Liu, and recruit the people to help defend the city!" ”

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Zhao Yong did not hesitate and immediately began to dispatch people. After all, Tang Ning is a person who has commanded tens of thousands of troops and commanded the grassland, and now he is serious and not angry and arrogant, but Zhao Yong, who is oppressed by the momentum on his body, has to be respected.

After giving the order, Tang Ning turned around and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, please go back and ask the Third Senior Brother to bring the disciples of the Sword Pavilion to help guard the city gate, in case the city is mixed with the enemy master to open the city gate." ”

Xiao Twelve nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell Senior Brother, don't worry, with us, the city gate will never be opened from the city." ”

The sound of the warning gong was very harsh in the silent night, waking up many people, and the prefect Liu Siwei got up from the bed of the concubine, a little confused, where was the gong in the middle of the night.

"Master, master, it's the gong on the city tower that sounds!"

The sound of a warning gong on the castle tower? How could the warning gong sound on the castle tower in the middle of the night? Could it be that there are really bandits attacking the city?

Liu Siwei immediately jumped out of bed and said urgently: "Quick, quickly dress me!" The concubine didn't care about covering up the spring, so she got up in a panic and waited for him to dress.

Liu Siwei got into the official sedan chair in a panic, and just after leaving the mansion, a hundred households had already hurried over, and they were sent by Zhao Yong to find him.

"Lord Prefect, please go to the castle tower quickly!"

"Is it a bandit? How many bandits are there? Liu Siwei asked urgently.

"There must be a bandit attacking, right?" Baihu said with some hesitation.

Should be? Liu Siwei was puzzled: "What should it be?" ”

Baihu swallowed and said: "I don't know, there is nothing quiet outside the city, but His Royal Highness asked the gong to sound a warning, and asked everyone to guard the city......"

Liu Siwei almost vomited blood when he heard this, isn't this nonsense? He was depressed and relieved, and the official sedan chair hurried to the city tower.

Liu Siwei hurriedly climbed the city tower and was about to complain, but suddenly found that the atmosphere on the city tower was very solemn.

It was indeed very solemn, because now it was obvious that the city wall was trembling slightly, and there was a faint roaring sound in the distance, like the sound of muffled thunder, but it was not, because the sound of muffled thunder would not be so continuous, and it would not make the city wall tremble all the time.

There really is an enemy attack! And it's cavalry!

Now no one complained, and everyone became a little panicked in their hearts, because they had never fought before! Now that there is suddenly a war, how can you not panic?

Liu Siwei said urgently: "What's the matter? What's wrong? What happened? ”

Zhao Yong said with a solemn face: "The city wall is trembling, and there is a roaring sound coming from afar, which means that a large force of cavalry is attacking!" ”

Liu Siwei is not a straw bag, he just didn't think about it, and now he immediately understood, and he sighed in his heart, and his face changed greatly: "Cavalry? How can there be cavalry? How can a bandit have cavalry? ”

Tang Ning said calmly: "It's for the main palace!" ”

Storage? Liu Siwei immediately had this thought in his heart, has the battle for storage positions reached such a situation? Dare to mobilize troops and horses to attack the city and kill the prince without authorization, don't you want to die?

Liu Siwei hurriedly said: "General Zhao, quickly transfer troops to defend the city!" ”

Zhao Yong said hurriedly: "I have already sent someone to urge, and I will be here soon!" Soon to come! ”

Tang Ning said in a deep voice: "I also ask Lord Liu to summon the people in the yamen to recruit the people to assist in defending the city, now there is a shortage of city defense equipment, and all the city defense equipment that can be used is sent to the city, bows and arrows, stones, rolling wood, ......."

Now everyone is a grasshopper with a rope, once the city is broken, no one can afford to eat, Liu Siwei hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, the lower official will do it!" ”

Soon the city was lively, the soldiers of the guard station rushed to the city wall in a little panic, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, the city wall trembled violently, and even a fool knew that there was really a cavalry attack.

They originally thought it was funny, and they suddenly became panicked, there were really bandits attacking the city, and they were cavalry! Where the hell did the bandits come from?

Liu Siwei also took the people of the yamen to gather the people to collect stones and rolling wood everywhere and transport them to the city wall, and now every household has woken up, and they all heard that there are bandits coming, and they are all frightened.

Fan Wencheng also rushed to the city wall, with a confused face, how could there really be bandits.

"Your Highness, this, where did this cavalry come from?"

Tang Ning didn't hide it from him, and said calmly: "It's the black cavalry of the temple, and there may even be the cavalry of our Great Zhou." ”

Fan Wencheng couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, it turned out to be the black rider of the temple! He didn't doubt it, because he had personally experienced how persevering the temple was to His Highness.

Fan Wencheng was a little worried: "Your Highness, as long as you hold on for a few days, I believe that a large army will definitely come to reinforce you!" ”

Tangning shook his head and didn't speak.

Because he has no confidence in his heart at all, let alone the battle in the city, the soldiers who defend the city are trembling.

He could feel the panic of these soldiers, and there was no morale at all. The enemy army was scared like this before they even came, how could Tang Ning be confident?

For the first time, Tang Ning gave birth to the feeling that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Although Zhao Yong has never fought, he is not ignorant of military affairs, and he also looks good at arranging city defense.

The sound of horses' hooves was already clearly audible, and nothing could be seen in the vast night sky, which was even more terrifying, as if some giant beast was hidden in the invisible night.

Mingyue asked in a low voice, "Can you hold the city?" ”

Tang Ning really didn't have any confidence at all, and said in a low voice: "It's difficult, if the city is broken, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the cavalry in the flat land, so you can only enter the mountain, Zhongshan is connected to the stretching Ulsan, so as to get rid of the enemy army." ”

Mingyue held Tang Ning's hand and nodded: "Well, as long as we enter the mountain, we won't be afraid!" ”

The cavalry like a long dragon finally rushed out of the night, and the monstrous momentum made all the soldiers on the city wall hold their breath, and there was a kind of panic for a while.

The mighty cavalry galloped around the city walls, and the entire Zhongshan City trembled under the hooves of the horses.
