Su Liancheng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said to the guards around him: "Pass my order, the whole city is on alert and prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!" the guards behind him responded in unison.
Although there has never been a war in the First City over the years, they have fought with Zhao and Qi many times over the years.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the first city, they have an extremely quick response method.
Although they were briefly confused at first, they quickly adjusted.
Whatever Su Letian can think of, Su Liancheng can naturally think of.
He issued more than ten military orders in a row to adjust formations and defensive or offensive methods.
The people in the city were a little confused, but they obeyed the advice and returned home.
The originally lively streets quickly became deserted.
Su Liancheng also ordered that Hulao Pass be strictly guarded. If anyone forces an attack, they will attack directly.
Almost as soon as Su Liancheng's order was issued, fighting broke out at Hulao Pass.
It turns out that Zhao Yan did not put all his hopes on the banks of the Benma River.
He divided his horses into three groups, one marching to the Ma River, one group activating the formation of the first city, and the other group attacking the first city from Hulao Pass.
Among them, the group of people at Hulao Pass is there to attract attention.
Zhao Yan planned to use this group of troops to attract most of the soldiers and horses in the first city, and then wait for the soldiers and horses from Benma River to attack, and attack them from both front and back.
He believed that as long as his people successfully activated the formation, at least half of the first city would be destroyed.
At the same time, it can also demoralize the troops in the first city and lose their ability to resist.
Then gather several waves of people together to make dumplings in the first city.
Overall, his plan is very feasible and very sinister.
The reason why he was able to arrange such a murderous situation was because he had been operating in the First City for too many years.
Over the years, he has deliberately searched for the weaknesses of the First City and used all the power he could.
With this arrangement alone, he had already spent many years destroying the First City in a vicious way, deliberately and unintentionally.
Hua Xinyu and Jiang Huatong were chatting. After the two heard the ringing, Jiang Huatong asked with some confusion: "What is this sound?"
Hua Xinyu's expression changed drastically: "It's an alarm bell. Is there an enemy invasion?"
Jiang Huatong didn't know much about these things in the First City, but she knew that things that could make Hua Xinyu change her face were definitely not trivial.
She then asked: "Madam, is there anything I can do to help?"
Hua Xinyu said softly: "Now we only know about the enemy attack, but we don't know what exactly happened. There is no need to rush this matter."
Hua Jiangtong knew that the First City could stand among the six countries as a single city, and it definitely had its own advantages.
She is only a guest in the First City at this time, and it is not her turn to worry about these things.
Hua Xinyu said to her: "Follow me."
Jiang Huatong followed Hua Xinyu to the tallest tower in the First City.
Standing on the top floor of the tower, they could have a panoramic view of the First City.
After they went up, Jiang Huatong saw the soldiers and horses of the first city gathering in an orderly manner, and the people in the city returned to their homes and closed the doors and windows.
Jiang Hua was somewhat surprised by the cooperation of the common people.
When she was the leader of the rebel army, she often struggled to convince the people to cooperate.
Because there are always some who are too self-righteous and don't know how to be afraid until they see blood.
Others are afraid that the world will not be in chaos and just go around watching the excitement.
Because she knew this, she was very surprised by the cooperation of the people in the First City.
Hua Xinyu explained to her: "The people in the First City all have a sense of belonging to the First City."
"The relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the people is very good, and it has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people."
"So the people all know that most of the things the city lord's palace asks the people to do are for their own good."
"When orders are given, they obey them."
Jiang Huatong said softly: "The people in the First City are so kind."
Hua Xinyu smiled and said: "They are indeed very good. First City is more like a big family."
"Although there are usually conflicts of one kind or another, when encountering foreign enemies, everyone's hearts will be twisted together."
At this time, she had recovered from her initial nervousness.
Although at this time, she still didn't fully understand what happened, or even who rang the alarm bell.
But they will respond as soon as possible.
Soon a boy came over and told Hua Xinyu what happened at the formation and the thick smoke on the mountain.
Hua Xinyu nodded slightly: "You go on to inquire about the news, and report any news as soon as possible."
The boy responded and immediately retreated.
Hua Xinyu took Jiang Huatong's hand and patted it gently: "Don't be afraid, just leave this kind of fighting to men."
After she finished speaking, she remembered that Jiang Huatong had been the leader of the rebel army and had seen all kinds of storms. This incident should not scare her.
Jiang Huatong nodded slightly and said, "What Madam said is that for the army in the First City to be able to react so quickly, they should have made preparations before, right?"
Hua Xinyu smiled and nodded: "That's right, Letian and Changping are getting married, and all the countries have sent people in."
"How could the First City be unprepared at this time?"
"It's just that their actions this time were a little bigger than expected. Coupled with the special geographical location of the First City, they had no place to escape and had to kill them all."
"When a person knows that he has no retreat, many people will put all their efforts into it, so it will be relatively difficult to fight."
At this point she added: "You probably know more about these things than I do."
"It's just that you look too weak. I can't imagine that you were the leader of the rebels."
Jiang Huatong smiled slightly: "Then Madam, just think of me as a weak woman who can't take care of herself."
Hua Xinyu laughed: "Okay."
With sharp eyes, Jiang Huatong saw Su Liancheng riding a white horse, quickly passing through a street not far away.
He seemed to feel something and looked in the direction of the tower on horseback.
Because they were not too far apart, he could tell just by looking at their bodies that the people on top of the tower were Hua Xinyu and Jiang Huatong.
The corners of Su Liancheng's lips raised slightly, and he didn't make any extra moves, just blew the whistle.
Almost at the moment his whistle stopped, the middle door of a house not far away opened wide.
A group of soldiers wearing black armor and holding dark weapons came out from inside.
When the soldiers saw Su Liancheng, they all saluted.
Su Liancheng stood in front of them and said: "Someone wants to destroy our home, what should we do?"
The team of Xuanjia soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill them and protect the first city!"
