Suddenly, there was a faint sound of drums outside.

Zhao Ning turned around and looked outside. This was a signal for martial law in the city.

The Jin people attacked the city?

Good guys, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang are so positive!

This early morning won't let me rest.

Zhao Ning turned around and left the weapons inspection. He originally planned to check on the progress of the artillery, but now was not the time.

Along the way, Zhao Ning saw from the window of the carriage that people in the houses on the roadside were coming out, and everyone was looking towards the south gate.

"The gold thief is here again!" A thin young man rushed into the house, holding an iron rod in his hand, and then went out.

Before leaving, he also said: "Close the door and don't come out!"

His wife took his son into the house and closed the door.

"Let's go to the old place!" the young man said to a middle-aged man next door.

Everyone immediately gathered in groups, either holding iron bars or sickles in their hands, and some held long knives.

These people are the most ordinary people in Tokyo, people who lived a stable life in the peaceful and prosperous times.

An old man behind shouted: "Don't walk in the middle of the road. Zhao Guan's family may be going to the South City Gate later, so don't disturb the holy driver!"

Only then did the young people in front realize it, and immediately gave way to both sides, and then said to the people further ahead: "Don't walk in the middle, make room for Zhao Guan's family!"

"Also, the soldiers and civilians will need to transport armaments, grain and grass later and free up all the main roads!"

It is hard for you to imagine that these are the words spontaneously spoken by ordinary people in Tokyo.

There is no one to guide and no one to force.

Everyone has already formed this awareness.

This is a collective consciousness.

In the face of crisis, the past was scattered and quickly coalesced together.

"He is the charioteer of Zhao Guan's family!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

"It's Zhao Guan's family!"

"..."

The crowd became lively.

Zhao Ning heard the sounds outside.

There is unprecedented unity in Tokyo, which is a good thing.

The Song Dynasty was still in disarray, with the military doing their own thing and officials arguing endlessly.

But at least the city of Tokyo is united!

Suddenly, the carriage slowed down and someone was driving slowly in front of it.

The Imperial Guards are preparing to come forward to negotiate.

Zhao Ning opened the curtain and saw soldiers and civilians transporting military equipment in front of him.

There were boxes of arrow clusters, armor, and trebuchets.

He called to the Praetorian Guards and turned the carriage around.

Jing Chao said: "Guan Jia, the roads everywhere may be a bit congested now, and the only Imperial Street is the smoothest."

Imperial Street was originally designed for the emperor to travel, from the imperial palace to Nanxunmen in Nancheng.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Imperial Street of Tokyo City was nearly two hundred meters wide and nearly ten miles long. It was a very wide street.

"Then follow these soldiers and civilians."

Now the priority is given to the military and civilians, and all combat preparations are given priority.

More than half an hour later, the emperor's chariot arrived at the south gate.

Zhao Ning got off the carriage, and Zhang Bofen came with someone.

The surrounding soldiers and civilians were carrying military supplies, including armors, swords, fire oil tanks, crossbows, etc.

Teams of soldiers pushed trebuchets up the chute to the city gate.

Many trebuchets have been added to various places on the city tower.

The Ordnance Supervisor manufactures and transports equipment at the same time.

The 800 trebuchets are basically completed.

And boxes after boxes of thunderbolts were pushed up, and even the barbicans were equipped with trebuchets and filled with crossbows.

There are also ten bed crossbows placed on the south city gate.

The officers below the city were shouting and instructing everyone to move things in an orderly manner.

In nearby rooms, doctors have also prepared medicines, as well as some nurses-like personnel specially set up by the Kaifeng government office.

They are also ready.

At this time, almost two-thirds of the medicinal herbs in the city were collected and purchased by the government to make urgently needed supplies for the war.

"Official family."

Zhao Ning strode up to the city tower and asked as he walked: "How is the situation?"

"The gold thieves dispatched a large number of troops, including 100 trebuchets! There are countless goose carts and ladders, nearly 300! This time there will be more people attacking the city."

When the words "will be more" are spoken, there is a heavy feeling.

Just from the number of trebuchets, it can be seen that it is ten times the last time.

And the number of aerial ladders has skyrocketed from 5 to 300.

If the last time was just a threat, this time Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang are serious about it.

In Taiyuan City this year, Wanyan Zonghan also used hundreds of trebuchets to excavate the city and cut off the water supply, using the limits that humans can think of.

Now it's almost time to attack Tokyo City.

As soon as Zhao Ning went up, he saw the Jin army already arrayed in the ice and snow ahead.

The infantry were at the front, forming square formations as neatly as if they were measured with a ruler.

Unlike the logistics troops of the grain transport team that Yue Fei attacked, these Jin troops were all the best of the best, all wearing heavy armor, and they were the most powerful warriors of this era.

There is a long trebuchet in front, and the people behind are pushing the ladder to the front to pull it.

Standing at the top of the city, you can hear the rhythmic voices of the Jin Army soldiers.

At a glance, you can see a large black ocean of steel.

Zhang Bofen said: "Officials, please leave this place quickly, the Jin people are about to attack the city."

Zhao Ning turned around and saw some heavy looks on the faces of some soldiers. He walked quickly to the entrance of the tower and said loudly: "My sons!"

Everyone's eyes gathered here in unison.

"Boys! The gold thieves are attacking the city again! They are using those guys to scare us!"

His eyes quickly scanned everyone.

"A thousand years ago, the Huns who swept across the grassland thought they were invincible, but they were exterminated by the Han people!"

"Seven hundred years ago, the barbarians moved south and the Central Plains was in danger. Can you still hear the names of those barbarians now?"

"Five hundred years ago, the Turks came and went like the wind in Mobei, and Jieli Khan came to Chang'an City with his troops. Where are the Turks now!"

"More than a hundred years ago, the Khitans, who claimed to be invincible, also came here! Then they fled north in a hurry!"

He was talking about the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when Yelu Deguang, Taizong of the Liao Dynasty of Khitan, captured Kaifeng City.

The Khitans thought that by capturing Kaifeng, they could take over the Central Plains. As a result, the Han people rose up and attacked, and the Khitan army was completely defeated. When they retreated to Hebei, they were severely beaten by the soldiers and civilians of Hebei.

The Han people before the establishment of the Song Dynasty were very brave in fighting.

At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty inherited the legacy of the Later Zhou Dynasty. When Zhao Kuangyin was still there, he was full of military virtue and could attack almost anywhere, sweeping across Yunei.

Even the Liao Kingdom did not dare to confront the Song army head-on.

That was the most glorious moment of the founding of the Song Dynasty.

The Forbidden Army's powerful brigade and the Jingsai Iron Cavalry are all prestigious entities.

It's a pity that he was defeated by the "car god" Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Ning felt a strong crisis, and a strong reaction against this crisis emerged in his heart.

His voice echoed among the towers.

At first, the people below were still communicating. After he said a few words, everyone's eyes shifted and they all became quiet.

"They have all disappeared in history, except us! Only the Han people, we have inherited it from generation to generation!"

"When an enemy comes, countless of us with lofty ideals will take up our swords to defend our homeland and our country!"

“There are heroic souls in the Martyrs’ Shrine!”

"Today, the golden thief wants to fight us, so we will fight to the end!"
