On May 7, 7742 in the imperial calendar, snow fell in the north.
Heavy snow fell over the icy Muyu City.
Although snowfall in Muyu City was a very common thing, it was already snowing in May, so it was no longer unusual.
The city was noisy, with the sound of horse hooves, quarrels, orders and the cries of civilians.
News of the fall of the four northern passes of Yunzhong Province came one after another.
The people in the city had even heard of the massacre in Lingkong Province before.
News, the legend that the barbarians from the east will be slaughtered if they attack makes many people cry every night.
Now it is too late to even have the chance to escape.
Muyu City, known as one of the seven famous cities in the empire, does not look like a prosperous city, but like a tomb. .
On the city wall, flying snow was falling, and the snowflakes fell messily on the shoulder armor.
Luo Xin brushed the snow off his shoulders, put his hand on his sword, and looked uneasily at the people who were blocked on the main street in the city trying to escape, and couldn't help but frown.
"The people are in chaos."
Su Changyan, deputy commander of the Iron Blade Army, said from the side.
"Yeah, it's all messed up."
Luo Xin said calmly: "Deputy Commander Su, you immediately take people to appease the people and tell them that the two hundred thousand Iron Blade Army will coexist with Muyu City, not to mention that the three highnesses will soon send reinforcements, Yunzhongxing The province will not be lost.”
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
Su Changyan quickly walked down the city wall.
Luo Xin looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh.
Su Changyan is the distant nephew of his adoptive father Su Muyun, and he is also one of the few remaining generals of the Su family.
I really hope he can Overcome this difficulty, otherwise the Su family in Yunzhong Province may become history, and he is one of the cornerstones of this history.
Outside the city, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
A light cavalry stopped quickly, grabbed the rope on the edge of the city wall and climbed up like an ape.
He knelt on one knee respectfully and said: "I see Duke Xin."
"No need to be formal, is there any news?"
"Yes."
The cavalry whispered: "They have arrived fifty miles away.
There are at least one hundred thousand people, and there are about fifty dragon knights.
There is an endless stream of teams behind, and it is impossible to clearly count.
In addition, the subordinates also see Another foreign army has arrived."
"Whose Army" "North Desert Wolf Soldiers."
"What?"
Luo Xin's body trembled slightly: "You mean the wolf soldiers in the Northern Desert are with the people from the Tianji Empire?"
"Yes."
The cavalryman frowned and said, "The Longji Corps disappeared without a trace for nearly half a month after annihilating the demons in the northern polar region.
My subordinates guessed that they must have been waiting for reinforcements during this half month.
While destroying the Northern Desert, it seems that the Northern Desert has surrendered to the Tianji Empire, otherwise those wolf soldiers would not obey the Tianji Empire's orders."
"A bunch of wallflowers" Luo Xin punched the battlement hard, causing gravel to scatter, and said angrily: "Damn Beimo, we send them so many gold and silver gifts, brocade silk and satin every year, how can they do it so easily?
They surrendered to the Tianji Empire, damn it.
If I had known this, I should have asked for orders to go to the Northern Desert and uproot them."
As he spoke, he paused, calmed down his emotions, and said, "How many wolf soldiers have you seen?"
"It can't be seen clearly at a glance.
It covers the entire wandering plain.
If nothing else, the number of wolf soldiers is at least one hundred thousand.
These beasts burned, killed and looted along the way.
The four states and twenty-three counties in our north have already They suffered greatly, and the place where the wolf soldiers passed was devastated, with countless casualties."

Luo Xin was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She closed her eyes and looked at the sky and said lightly: "Father, Luo Xin has let you down.
I can't protect your people.
I am too incompetent."
As he spoke, Luo Xin fluffed up his robe sleeves, turned to look at the group of generals behind him, and shouted in a low voice: "Send the order, prepare for war, and would rather die than surrender."
"yes" Everyone knelt down on one knee, looked up at Luo Xin, and said in unison: "We will swear to serve the country to the death.
If the city is alive and people are alive, if the city dies, people will die."
At dusk, the snow fell harder and harder, falling to the ground like goose feathers with a rustling sound.
Outside Muyu City, more and more troops gathered in the distance.
They did not encounter any resistance, and they did not make any gesture of attacking the city.
They just set up hundreds of camps far outside Muyu City and surrounded this famous city.
It's all watery.
This night, it seemed that the Longji Corps had no intention of attacking the city.
In the big tent, falling snow kept falling from the hole at the top of the tent, and a bonfire inside the tent provided warmth for everyone.
On the bonfire, a roasted cow was almost cooked, and there were stars of oil squeaking.
Sitting on the commander's seat was a middle-aged general, dressed in commander's armor.
He was none other than Fang Lan, the commander of the Longji Corps.
There was also a seat arranged to sit on an equal footing with him.
The person sitting there was none other than Dragon Cavalry General Lin Tongtian.
As the seats descended, there were several deputy commanders and captains of the Longji Corps, and then several foreigners wearing leather robes.
One of the people wearing a crown was the leader of the Northern Desert tribe. , Big Wolf Lord Mao Dun odu.
"The attack will begin early tomorrow morning."
Fang Lan took the warm wine from the maid's hand and said with a smile: "This Muyu City is an important town in the Qin Empire.
It is rich and solid.
It is known as one of the seven famous cities.
The generals guarding the city are Luo Xin and Su Muyun.
His adopted son, hehe, is said to be a famous general in the Qin Empire.
Who will fight in this first battle?"
The group of ten thousand captains from the Longji Corps were solemn, and no one said a word.
Fang Lan smiled and said: "Lord Maodun Wolf, you are the leader of the Northern Desert Wolf Clan and an ally of our Tianji Empire.
Since we have made an alliance, it is time for your tribe to fulfill it.
Why not attack Muyu City?"
Let your 150,000 wolf soldiers execute the first wave.
What does the Great Wolf Lord Moton think?"
Mao Dun was slightly startled, and several of his generals also showed signs of surprise and reluctance.
After a few seconds, Mao Dun bowed respectfully and said, "Master Fang Lan, we wolf soldiers have come all the way from afar and are quite familiar with the soil."
Not convinced, besides, many of the wolf soldiers haven’t even had a full meal for several days, so it’s better for your troops to attack first, and we’ll be able to help after a short rest.”
"Yeah" Fang Lan smiled faintly and said: "I heard that your tribe in the Northern Desert must have a hard time grazing in summer and autumn and raiding in spring and winter.
Look at the vast hectares of fertile land around Muyu City.
If it is regarded as the fiefdom of your wolf soldiers, you can farm here.
Farming, and having women from Middle Earth to warm the camp, this is such a good thing."
Modu gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Fang Lan continued: "Since you, the Northern Desert Wolf Clan, have decided to serve the Tianji Empire, why are you so shirking the responsibility of Lord Maodun?
I hereby promise that as long as you can conquer Muyu City, I will give this city to you."
I’ll give it to you, and I’ll also reward you with half of the fourteen states in Yunzhong Province, how about?”

Mao Dun was shocked.
The Northern Desert has been coveting Yunzhong Province for thousands of years.
What a temptation this is.
But Mao Dun also knew that the person guarding the city was the famous imperial general Luo Xin, and he had 200,000 iron men.
The Blade Army is the main force in the imperial army.
How could it be possible to capture Muyu City from Luo Xin with its 150,000 wolf soldiers?
"Just tell me something."
Lin Tongtian seemed a little impatient and said, "Don't let our Tianji Empire think that our allies are useless and can't do anything but consume food and grass."
Mao Dun gritted his teeth: "I will go and my 150,000 wolf soldiers will attack the city with me, but you must provide us with siege equipment.
In addition, you must let my wolf soldiers have a full meal.
Even if it is Let them die, and I will let them die as well.”
"Don't worry about this."
Fang Lan smiled: "Come here, send an order to the munitions department to slaughter the cattle and sheep.
Let the wolf soldiers have a good meal tonight.
Tomorrow morning it will be their time to go into battle to kill the enemy."
"Yes, Commander" Modu's face turned pale and he said nothing more.
Late at night, deep in the wolf soldiers' camp, inside the big wolf main camp tent.
Modun said nothing and looked very old.
Several generals also looked pale, and one of them said: "Lord Wolf, the walls of Muyu City are more than twenty meters high, and the city is well-prepared for soldiers, and there are also those terrifying giant cannons that can spray murderous fire. , we attack rashly like this The city is simply sending wolf soldiers to die.
The people of the Tianji Empire are despicable.
They are just using the wolf soldiers to consume the number of cannons in Muyu City.
The Tianji Empire only treats us as tools.
How has it ever treated us?
as allies” Mao Dun said calmly: "I know, I know it all, no need to say any more.
We will start attacking the city tomorrow morning.
Let the first and third battalions go up.
If the city cannot be captured until noon, we will retreat.
If we break, we will retreat."
Retreat even if the number of casualties exceeds 50,000."
"Then what should we tell Fang Lan?"
"snort" A cold light flashed across Mao Dun's eyes, and he said: "Our wolf clan is wolves, and Fang Lan just regards us as dogs.
Don't worry, Fang Lan only has 150,000 troops in his hands.
After they plunder the city, they always leave people behind."
Defend the city, and we wolf soldiers are the best defenders.
If Fang Lan was not stupid, he would not watch all the 150,000 wolf soldiers die. " "Yes, I understand."
"Go to bed early, tomorrow is the day we go into battle."
Mao Dun said with a cold face: "One day I will make these two bastards Fang Lan and Lin Tongtian regret it."
In the early morning of the next day, the snow finally stopped.
When the morning light fell on the snow-covered city of Muyu City, the sound of conch horns rang in the distance.
The densely packed wolf soldiers pushed the siege equipment straight towards the city wall.
The battle was about to begin.
"when" Luo Xin drew out his sword and shouted in a low voice: "Get ready to fight."
The city wall became busy, each archer quickly opened his bow and drew an arrow, while the magic crystal cannon began to calibrate, aiming at the preset attack position under the city, just waiting for the opponent to enter the shooting range.
The wolf soldiers had a round shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other.
They were all covered in downy armor.

While roaring, they hit the round shield with their scimitars, making a clanging sound that shook the sky
