Upon hearing this, Nan Yan quickly put the sword back into the scabbard, and jumped out of the carriage with Zhu Feng.
As soon as she went there, she froze.
All around, a bright light.
At this time, although it was midnight, the entire North City Gate was brightly lit, like daytime.
Most of the people in Beiping City gathered here. They were helping to strengthen the fortifications, and they were transporting some stones and rolling logs to the tower.
Not only some men, but even older girls and younger daughters-in-law, carrying hot tea pots and steamed buns in their hands, handing them to busy people to eat.
Seeing this scene, Nan Yan was completely stunned.
She heard what Ran Xiaoyu said before, and thought that these ordinary people ran away on their own, but she didn't expect—
Zhu Feng glanced at her, but his face was very calm.
Of course, this is not the first time he has seen this situation.
He said solemnly: "I was able to stay in Beiping for more than ten years and prevent the country from going south, not only because of the army, but because of the soldiers."
"..."
"There are still people."
Nanyan took a deep breath.
And when those ordinary people saw that the emperor had also personally arrived in the north of the city, they all came over and knelt down on the ground one after another: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
At this time, Xu Shifeng came over: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng glanced at him, then at the people, and said, "Wait until dawn, let all these people leave here and return to the city."
Xu Shifeng looked up at him: "The emperor thinks—"
"This time, the 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Tan are pressing down on the border. They must want a quick victory. They will definitely launch an attack before dawn."
"..."
"Be ready at any time to let these ordinary people evacuate."
"yes!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Shifeng immediately went to order.
And Zhu Feng took them up the tower.
The wind on the top of the city tower was even harsher. As soon as Nan Yan walked up, she was staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, Ran Xiaoyu behind her helped her up.
And Zhu Feng stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support the cold city wall, and looked ahead.
It was still pitch black.
They could only faintly see the undulating mountains under the distant sky, like giants in the night, waiting to stand up at any time and deal a fatal blow to them.
Nan Yan looked a little startled, and hurriedly looked away.
Countless torches on the city tower illuminated the nearer road in the dark night, and only then did she see that the ground below the city had already accumulated thick snow, especially the area near the city tower.
The snow was about to the knees.
Zhu Feng glanced at it, and then asked, "Are you all ready?"
Ye Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My ministers have already made them ready."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Let everyone be on guard."
"yes."
"Also, ask the Taining Guards to put on the shoes I told you before."
"It has been ordered to go down."
"Um."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the nearby Qiaolou, and Nanyan and the others followed.
There is also a large sand table in Qiaolou, with undulating mountains above, and a row of dilapidated city walls built along the mountains; at the bottom, there is a high city wall, with a large expanse of snow in the middle.
You can tell at a glance that this is the terrain from the old Great Wall to Beiping City.
Nan Yan saw that on the large snow field in the center, Zhu Feng had dropped several red command flags.
This represents the position of the decisive battle decided by the coach.
But-
When Nan Yan saw the terrain, she immediately frowned.
