The cold and biting wind and snow continue to wreak havoc on the land on the far northern border.
The towering city walls are already covered with thick snow.
A huge transparent dome hangs over the city with tall buildings, and a large number of heavily armed national night watchmen surround the city tower, conducting careful patrols and surveys.
Here is the northernmost fortress city of the Daxia Empire - "Dog City".
The bustling city of Beiguo in the past is now crowded with people, and people in the city center are already panic-stricken.
The Principality of Aisha started an undeclared war.
Tens of thousands of well-trained night watchmen forcibly crossed the border between the two countries with lightning speed, and captured dozens of satellite towns in one night. Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed wherever they went. .
For a while.
The princes of the "Dog City" who had not yet reacted - the Zhongli family were completely stunned on the spot.
The aloof city lord Zhong Lizhan was originally thinking about how to deal with the "withdrawal of the vassal order" issued by the Xuanyuan royal family.
Unexpectedly, one wave after another happened again.
The persecution of the royal family has not yet begun, but a foreigner suddenly stabbed him in the back at his back door.
There are only more than 10,000 national night watchmen guarding the entire "Dog City", and the military strength of the Principality of Aisha is several times that of our own.
??At least purely in terms of numbers, "Dog City" does not have any advantage at all.
The other party was obviously prepared.
If you want to send troops to rescue those dispensable satellite towns, it is simply beyond our reach.
"well"
There are pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.
Located in the center of "Dog City", in an antique building, a long and sad sigh suddenly came out.
Wearing a heavy fur coat.
The worried city lord Zhong Lizhan was standing alone by the tall attic stand. His eyes were full of worry, and he was looking at the vast city-state in front of him with his hands behind his hands.
A flash of light flashed through the void.
next moment¡ª¡ª
The black figure fell from the sky, took a quick step forward, and knelt on the ground on one knee.
"City Lord." The man in black behind him said respectfully.
"how?"
He didn¡¯t look back immediately.
Zhong Lizhan looked deeply and asked coldly: "Have you contacted the people in the Rat City?"
There was silence for a while.
The man in black nodded slightly and responded: "City Lord Zhuo from the 'Rat City' responded and said that the city defense task was tight and he could not dispatch manpower for support for the time being. He suggested that we ask the Imperial City directly for help. Maybe It can solve urgent needs immediately.¡±
It is also one of the twelve fortress cities.
"Rat City"¡ª¡ªis the fortress city closest to "Dog City".
Seeing the Aisha Principality¡¯s army approaching the border, Zhong Lizhan¡¯s first thought was to ask for help from them.
"What an extraordinary person he is."
? ?Close your eyes.
Zhong Lizhan smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "A few days ago, this guy was still discussing with me how to deal with the imperial city's "withdrawal of the vassal order" together. He said that neighboring friendly countries are only separated by a strip of water. No matter what happens, both sides must Such nonsense as mutual aid and reciprocity"
People reach middle age.
How could Zhong Lizhan not know that these were just social entertainment.
Even couples who sleep in the same bed will most likely go their separate ways when disaster strikes.
What¡¯s more, is this kind of political friendship so fragile that it¡¯s ridiculous? !
"City Lord" The man in black wanted to persuade him, but for a while he didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, I expected it."
He shook his head mockingly.
Zhong Lizhan took a deep breath and said calmly: "I asked you to contact Mr. Zhuo. It was just a temporary try. I didn't have much hope at all. Under the current circumstances, this shrewd old guy will not fail. Treating us is already a sign of affection and righteousness."
Whenever a disaster strikes, rely on the mountain and the mountain will fall, but rely on the people and the people will go away.
The only one you can rely on is yourself
"Pass the order."
Narrowing your eyes.
Zhong Lizhan's expression was firm, and he ordered in a deep voice: "All major city towers must be on daily alert, and all relevant strategic materials must be prepared in place. It won't be long before the enemy's army will descend on the city. This will be a battle that affects us." The great battle of life and death for the city.??sea.
Once the army of the Principality of Aisha comes, these people will immediately become moving targets, and there will be no hope of survival.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
When everyone is anxious.
On the tall tower, a national night watchman stepped forward, and his high-pitched voice immediately attracted the attention of the refugees.
"The city lord has an order"
The national night watchman on the city tower had a solemn expression and announced loudly: "It is a period of war preparation. In order to prevent the deliberate infiltration of hostile forces, no one is allowed to open the city gate without authorization. From now on, the "Dog City" will no longer be open to the outside world. , the idlers cannot continue to make noise outside the city, leave this place immediately!"
The almost ruthless order was like a depth charge suddenly thrown into the sea of ??people.
In an instant¡ª¡ª
Everyone was stunned on the spot, and despair spread instantly. Many women and children fell to their knees, and began to cry after breaking down.
More people were so angry that they raised their heads and cursed at the night watchman on the towering city wall.
¡°You bastard, why don¡¯t you let us enter the city!?¡±
"Yes, we are also subjects of the Daxia Empire. Isn't it the duty of you national night watchmen to protect us? Hurry up and open the city gate and let us in!"
"The stupid Zhongli family has turned their backs and refused to recognize anyone"
"Youyou are ignoring human life and disregarding human life!!"
"Damn it, since these high-ranking dignitaries don't care about our life or death, we don't need to continue to be polite to them. Let's all go together and smash down the city gate. At worst, everything will be destroyed!"
Panic, uneasiness and a strong desire to survive finally converged into monstrous rage.
The excited refugees were furious, and like a rushing flood, they rushed towards the city gate crazily.
¡°Damn it, something is going to happen!¡±
See the situation.
Yi Yanyang quickly turned around and shouted towards the remaining twenty or so subordinates.
¡°Protect the fellow villagers, don¡¯t go over there, everyone move back, hurry up~~!¡±
Picking up a cigarette.
Ivanov tightened his clothes and hat and silently retreated with everyone in Yongze Town.
Are you kidding
During the war between the two countries, they just gathered people to make trouble, but they actually wanted to smash the gates of the fortress cities in anger. Do you really think that the princes and city lords of the Daxia Empire were living Bodhisattvas kneaded from mud? !
