The entire city of Hanzhou fell into great commotion and panic. The common people ran in the streets and alleys to tell each other that the Yan army had entered the pass, and some even said that the Yan army was about to attack outside the city.

"Hey, have you heard? The Yan army has entered the pass!"

"What? The Yan army entered the pass? Impossible, stop talking about it, where did the news come from?"

"Really! There are cavalrymen rushing in at the city gate to report!"

"It's impossible, it's impossible. I've lived in Hanzhou City all my life, and I haven't seen many foreign barbarians come here."

…

At first, many people didn't believe it. The northern defense line had stood at the border for many years, and the number of invasions by foreign enemies could be counted on one's fingers.

Moreover, there would be a lot of noise every time at the border crossing. After a fierce battle for a year and a half, how could the Yan army enter the border quietly this time?

But when the sound of war drums filled the sky, countless soldiers poured onto the city wall from all directions, and the city gates were tightly closed, the common people knew that the Yan army was really coming.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Woooooo~"

"The whole army is coming to the city! The arrows are coming to the city quickly!"

"Prepare the kerosene, set up the pot, hurry!"

"The enemy is coming! The entire army is on alert!"

There was a constant stream of shouts, and all the frontier generals had a solemn and anxious look on their faces, and their steps were hurried.

They had no time to appease the people in the city because they were about to face a bloody battle.

In fact, there are not many defenders in Hanzhou City. In addition to an elite side cavalry of 10,000 people, there are only more than 10,000 infantry. The others are patrol battalions and government officials. The full force is only 30,000 people.

Most of the soldiers on Pinghan Road have been transferred to Jiaodong Road. Hanzhou City can have nearly 30,000 defenders, which is already a lot. This is because it is the capital of Pinghan Road.

But if the intelligence is correct, those heading towards Hanzhou City are full of yellow-backed silver fox flags and a total of 30,000 elite cavalry!

The infantry carried a large amount of ordnance to the city, and strong bows and crossbows were ready to go. Even the cavalry of ten thousand people was mobilized urgently, ready for battle at any time.

It has to be said that this is Hanzhou City after all, and the soldiers left behind in the city are all elite, and the complicated military orders are executed meticulously.

At dusk, Hanzhou City, which had been noisy for a long time, finally quieted down. There was no noise at all, as if nothing had happened.

Deathly silence.

It makes people feel heartbroken.

Chang Jingan put on the dark blue Jiedushi armor, with a sharp blade hanging from his waist, and stopped at the top of the city. Behind him were many generals of the border army.

All the generals frowned slightly and looked solemn.

This Hanzhou City is the home of many of them. The whole family’s wives, children, old and young are all in the city, including the ancestral home of the Chang family.

It can be said that Hanzhou City is the core area of ​​Pinghan Daojiangmen family.

If this place is attacked by the Yan army, more than half of the general families on Pinghan Road will be wiped out.

The land illuminated by the setting sun is very peaceful, but danger is approaching step by step.

Because from the moment the news was received, the city sent out several waves of scouts to look for traces of the Yan army, but until now, no scouts have returned.

There is no doubt that they have become the souls of the Yan army.

Darkness fell little by little, and torches began to light up one after another on the city top. The land in the distance was still so quiet.

There was silence on the top of the city, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.

Everyone stared into the distance with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see something, but there was only endless night.

At a certain moment, Chang Jingan's brows raised without any warning, and the Pinghan Dao Jiedushi shouted angrily:

"Crossbowman, rocket!"

"Rocket ready!"

"put!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A wave of arrows poured out, lighting up the sky instantly.

The fire flashed past, and I don't know if it was because the defenders at the top of the city were dazzled. They only felt that there were dense crowds of people in the distance rushing towards the city wall.

Yan Jun!

"call out!"

A sharp piercing sound suddenly pierced the night sky, and the defenders' hearts suddenly lifted, because the sound of arrows came from outside the city.

Then a little bit of fire started to light up and quickly spread in all directions.

In the stunned eyes of the city's defenders, Hanzhou City was surrounded by fire dragons. The endless cavalry surrounded the four gates, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening.

Yan Jun is coming!

Chang Jingan's face was gloomy, and he glanced at the general beside him. The sturdy general shouted sharply:

"The entire army is on alert! Crossbowmen!"

"Ouch!"

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

"preparation!"

"put!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The first wave of arrows flew out like locusts and struck down on the head, forcing the advancing Yan army to stop. Although it caused no casualties, it served as a warning.

"The army stops!"

"Ouch!"

"General's order! Stop the army!"

Waves of angry shouts rang out in the Yan army formation, and tens of thousands of cavalry troops stopped at the outskirts of Hanzhou City. The light of torches illuminated the night like day.

Only then did Yan Jun reveal his true form under Chang Jingan's eyes.

The military flags, with a yellow background and embroidered with silver fox patterns, rustled in the night wind, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The Silver Fox Flag with a yellow background is one of the Eight Banners of Dayan.

"Drive~"

A strong general with a gloomy face rode out of the army column and murmured:

"Hmm~ Hanzhou City.

This is the first time that this general has gone so deep into the Central Plains."

The commander of the yellow-backed silver fox flag──Ulan Bals.

When the Yan army defeated the Jin Dynasty, General Ulan Bals participated in the battle to encircle and suppress Wanyan Honglie.

When the Northern Jin emperor died in battle, he played a role; when the Northern Jin Dynasty was destroyed, he contributed even more.

Moreover, Ulan Bals was also an old acquaintance of the generals of the Liang Army. He led his troops to raid the Liaodong border many times and fought with the Liang Army. He was considered a troublesome guy.

When Yan State formed the elite Eight Banners, Ulan Bals, who had great military exploits and was born a commoner, naturally became the top choice for the general.

Therefore, Ulan Balsi is considered a powerful general placed in the East Courtyard by the Yan Kingdom. On the surface, it is to enhance the combat power of the East Courtyard, but in fact, it is to monitor the movements of those generals who have been surrendered by the Northern Jin Dynasty.

In the entire Dongting court, this Ulan Baers had a very high status. He only obeyed Nalan Tingye's orders and did not have a good look towards Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi.

"I wonder how strong the soldiers in the city are~"

Ulan Bals held a gun and rode his horse with a smile on his face, not at all tired from the long march.

From the time the army entered Yanxing Pass until now, the yellow-backed Silver Fox Banner has been invincible. The Pinghan Road border troops who occasionally resisted were rushed by the cavalry and were unable to compete.

Ulan Bals felt that this battle was really boring.

A deputy general beside him chuckled:

"General, it is said that the current head of the Chang family is in the city. Maybe he is watching us from the top of the city now~"

"Really? Haha~"

Ulan Bals raised his eyebrows with interest, gripped the spear tightly, and murmured:
Chapter completed!
