But Zhao Xun can't blame him too much.

After all, any emperor would most likely choose to save himself when faced with a choice between the two.

"The defense battle of Chang'an will begin next."

Zhao Xun murmured.

"Mingyun, Mingyun, something serious has happened."

Just then I saw Jia Xingwen walking quickly.

"Brother Jia, what's going on?"

In Zhao Xun's impression, Jia Xingwen has always been a mature and prudent person, and he would not be so panicked unless it was a last resort.

Being able to force Brother Jia into this situation is enough to show that the situation is already very critical.

"Barbarians, barbarians have begun to attack the city..."

Boom!

Zhao Xun felt like his head was buzzing and he couldn't believe his ears.

"What did you say?"

"The barbarians have begun to attack the city, Mingyun!"

Jia Xingwen looked miserable.

"How could it be so sudden..."

Zhao Xun covered his forehead with one hand and still couldn't believe it until this moment.

"Hurry, Master Feng is calling all the bad guys to gather and prepare for the fight. Ming Yun, come quickly too."

"Um."

Zhao Xun knew that now was not the time to be distracted.

Since the enemy has begun to attack the city, it means that everyone in the city must enter a wartime state.

As a bad person, Zhao Xun has no reason to retreat.

He must rely on his own hands to protect what he cherishes.

…

…

At the top of Chang'an City, all major armies have arrived.

Shence Army, Longwu Army, Jinwu Guard...

The government officials including Wucheng Military and Horse Division, Jingzhao Prefecture Government Office, Wannian County Government Office, and Chang'an County Government Office have all assembled.

The bad guys are the last to arrive.

Because they are the emperor's minions, they will not come to the city to fight in person unless absolutely necessary.

But now is the moment of life and death.

The moment of Chang'an's survival.

"Brother Mingyun, there are so many barbarians. Look at the darkness outside the city and you can't even see the edge."

"Don't be afraid, there is a large formation in Chang'an that they can't attack."

Zhao Xun said very confidently.

One of the most fulfilling things Zhao Xun has done recently is to repair the great formation in Chang'an City.

I can’t say that the formation has been completely restored now, but it is still in good condition.

"If the barbarians come to attack the city regardless of the situation, they will be clearly arranged."

Zhao Xun pointed at the enemy troops in the distance and said: "Wangcai, look, although these enemy troops are now gathered together, if you look closely, there are still boundaries that separate them. It may not be clear, but at least there is room for separation."

After a pause, Zhao Xun continued: "This shows that barbarians are not monolithic."

"But aren't the northern barbarians and the southern barbarians from the same origin?"

Wangcai felt a little confused.

"Blood brothers are still settling their scores, let alone these guys. The northern barbarians and the southern barbarians have been separated for a long time. After thousands of years, it doesn't matter if you say they are two ethnic groups."

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Now they are reunited because of nothing more than interests. And interests are always changing. They are allies now, but they may part ways due to interests the next moment."

"Mingyun still sees clearly."

Jia Xingwen nodded and said: "In terms of determination, they are definitely not as good as us."

What Jia Xingwen said makes sense.

The soldiers and civilians of Chang'an City currently have only one choice, which is to defend.

Once the city of Chang'an is destroyed, everyone will suffer.

If they want to survive, they must hold on.

As for the barbarians, it's completely different.

It would be best for the barbarians to capture Chang'an.

But even if we can't win Chang'an, it's not a big loss.

Because they have other cities to plunder.

This gave the barbarians leeway.

In addition, the barbarians in the south and the barbarians in the north may not be of the same mind, and there may even be discord.

So these are opportunities for Changan people.

Zhao Xun firmly believes that as long as they persist, victory will eventually belong to them.

"Mingyun, they started to blow the horns."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

With the low horn sound, the barbarians began to charge.

But when these barbarian soldiers approached, Zhao Xun found something unusual.

"These are not living people..."

Zhao Xun's face turned pale.

"It's an army of the dead."

He had previously heard from his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi that Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters were very good at manipulating the dead.

The dead can stand up again in their hands, fight and even siege cities.

Moreover, the Southern Barbarian witch and Gu masters can control a large number of dead armies at the same time, even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

But at the same time, the combat effectiveness of the dead army is basically the same as that of the living.

As for the demon law of the northern barbarian demon sect, it can maximize the summoned evil creatures to have extremely strong combat effectiveness.

It can be said that the two kinds of magic, one in the south and the other in the north, have their own merits and choices.

But this large-scale charge of the dead army was undoubtedly the work of the southern witchcraft master.

"Archers prepare!"

Feng Hao, as the commander of the Chang'an army, stepped forward at this time.

Under his command, a group of archers bent their bows and aimed their arrows at the army of the dead not far away.

"shoot!"

Following Feng Hao's order, thousands of arrows were fired.

When the Nanman invaded, they truly united and worked together.

Countless arrows formed an arrow net and were scattered towards the army of the dead.

The arrowheads of these arrows all have blood grooves and are quenched with poison.

If an ordinary living person is shot by an arrow, even if the vital part is not hit, he will eventually die from poisoning.

So this can be considered a big killer.

Of course it's just a mass murder weapon against living people.

When these arrows hit the dead people, the expected scene did not appear, and the army of the dead was not affected in any way.

They didn't even pull out the arrows that were shot at them, but continued to charge bravely.

"Hey, this is too scary."

Wangcai was so scared that he peed.

"Aren't these guys invulnerable?"
To be continued...
