At this moment, a herald ran up to the city tower panting, and knelt down head-on: "Report to the lord, Hou Zhi of Fuchengmen is in a hurry, Liu Ming, the commander of the Tianjin garrison, led his troops to mutiny, and the commander of the five military battalions was unprepared, killed Lord Qin, seized the city gate, and let the rebels enter the city."

"What?" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, and I couldn't accept it at all for a while.

The herald said: "Lord Hui, Lord Hou Zhi is now leading the remnants to resist the rebels, but the disparity in strength between the two sides is very large, and the rebels have Liu Ming's subordinates to respond, Lord Hou can no longer hold on, please send reinforcements to expel the rebels, otherwise the capital will be in danger."

"Liu Ming" I squeezed out two words from between my teeth, it turned out that this person entered the capital when the war was about to begin, not to report the news, but to respond to the rebels On the day of his arrival, he entered the capital with more than 100 remnants of soldiers and reported the news of the fall of Tianjin, and no one in the entire court doubted him. Then he actively asked for war, I saw that the capital was empty, in line with Han Xin's troops, the more the merrier plan agreed to his request, let him take the troops and horses with the five military battalion commander Qin Bin to guard the Fucheng Gate, do not want to be greedy for a little cheap, but ended up like this, if the capital falls, then I really have no face to see Jiangdong's father Although he forced out the hole card of King Cheng, but I did not look happy, this hole card is also his killer weapon, the killer weapon of my life

Because I was not absolutely sure about holding the inner city, after retreating to the inner city, I ordered someone to block the door hole of Zhengyangmen, the main direction of the rebels' attack, and even Xuanwu Chongwen was stuffed. Considering that it is possible to lead the crowd to break through, Zhengyang Xuanwu Chongwen three gates have the outer city guards, and now the outer city is occupied by the rebels, the direction of the breakthrough is naturally impossible to be these three city gates, worried that the situation of the city gate will be reported to the rebels in the city's eyeline to the Cheng Wang, it is easy to be Cheng Wang judged the direction of the breakthrough to be blocked, and the remaining six gates of the inner city are not blocked, but the fixed door latch is added, so that the need to break through the Cheng King can not judge the accurate breakthrough direction.

I immediately ordered: "Wei Dayong, order Fangshan to immediately put down everything in his hands, gather 2,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately rescue Fuchengmen with me to notify the deputy commander of the 3,000 battalion to defend the country, and order him to personally lead 2,000 cavalry to rescue Fuchengmen, and order to set off immediately, without delay, and report the matter to the emperor immediately, please command the Jinyi guards to make Lord Wenqian strengthen vigilance, and ask the emperor to dress up the queen mother and the harem Niangniang, once you can't recapture Fuchengmen, immediately the whole army will break through and order Cai Mingbo to come to the city tower to command on my behalf"

"Yes, my lord," Wei Dayong immediately went to pass the general's order.

I looked at the herald and said, "What is the situation in Fuchengmen now?" ”

"Back to the words of the adult, now Fuchengmen is already 100,000 urgent, when the villain left, Lord Hou Zhi is leading troops to fight for the city gate with Liu Ming, but under the blow of the rebels, Lord Hou may not be able to insist, and there are many masters in the rebels, and the ordinary soldiers of our army are not their opponents at all, fortunately, Lord Hou Zhi's personal guards are all skilled, otherwise Fuchengmen may have been captured by the rebels."

It seems that after nearly a month of fighting, Hou Zhi has also established a lot of prestige among the officers and soldiers of Fuchengmen, otherwise it would be impossible for this herald to show respect for him at all times, and it would be impossible for him to still gather the remnants to continue to resist after the Lord is killed.

"How's the situation with Lord Hou?"

"Back to the adult, the villain was fine when he left, but now he ......" he didn't dare to say.

I didn't ask, I raised my feet and left the arrow tower, and Luo Rou and Xue'er followed closely behind.

"Brother Prince, will the eldest brother be fine?" Xue'er asked with a trembling voice. Hearing this, she was very worried about Hou Zhi's safety, and after getting along for more than ten years, although she was not a brother or sister, she was already better than a brother and sister.

I grabbed Xue'er's cold little hand, covered it on my chest, and said, "No, the boss is strong in martial arts, and he has one hundred and fifteen brothers under him to protect him, so there will be no problem" I don't know if I am cheering Xue'er up, or relieving myself.

"Well, Cher believes in Brother Prince." Cher nodded, her brow furrowed slightly.

"My lord, the soldiers and horses have been assembled, please order" Fang Shan has already assembled the soldiers and horses.

"Departure" I didn't say half a word of nonsense, directly inserted it from the military formation, and went to Fuchengmen.

Fang Shan shouted: "Chong" followed, and the two thousand soldiers who had just run back from the palace rushed towards Fuchengmen again. At this time, Cai Mingbo also returned to the city tower, took over the command, and was fully responsible for the battle of Zhengyangmen.

"Oh no" I suddenly secretly said that it was not good, I thought of the worst-case scenario, and even asked the emperor to prepare for a breakthrough, but I almost forgot about Tian Yunxin and Xiaoxuan. In my heart, what imperial orders, what high-ranking officials, are worthless compared to them

I called Wei Dayong and whispered: "Wei Dayong, call a brother, immediately notify them of the situation, tell them about the situation, let them be prepared, and if necessary, break through together at that time."

Wei Dayong nodded, he didn't use his very characteristic loud voice, you must know that when he shouted, these two thousand people would probably all hear it clearly. This kind of thing is not good to make a big splash, otherwise it will be a big blow to the morale of the army, the battle is not over, but the main general is planning to arrange for his family to escape, what is this? He called two henchmen, whispered a few words, and then the two left the brigade and disappeared into the night.

In a short time, I saw ...... Shouldn't it have been the first to hear the battle of Fuchengmen, it didn't sound fierce, could it be that the rebels had already succeeded? I secretly said that something was wrong, and I couldn't help but order to speed up my pace again.

When Fuchengmen appeared in front of me, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to see Hou Zhi leading three or four hundred remnants of soldiers to form a formation behind the door, resisting the charge of the enemy army more than ten times larger; On the city wall, two or three thousand people fought in a melee, and from time to time someone fell straight down from the high city wall, and the terrible screams were heard far and wide in the night sky.

Thankfully, it wasn't too late
