These things were not mentioned in Cheng Sheng and Kang Yan's letters, so naturally I had no way of knowing. At this moment, I was sitting on the tower in military uniform, with an hourglass in front of me.

"Sand ...... Sand...... Sand ......" Listening to the sound of the sand flowing and watching the sand in the hourglass getting fewer and fewer, my heart was slightly excited, the time for a counterattack was coming! I don't understand that I think it's flowing too slowly, and I can't wait to lead the army into battle; I still feel that it is flowing too fast, every grain of sand represents the passage of time, and when the sand is drained, there will be a bloody battle.

Confucius said, "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night", no matter what I think, the sand in the hourglass will eventually leak out!

"Cai Mingbo!" I slammed to my feet and shouted!

"The last general!" Cai Mingbo immediately bowed.

"Zhengyangmen will be handed over to you, don't let me down!" Although the counterattack is about to begin, the gates of the inner city should not be careless, and if the rebels steal the gates, or if they learn that our army is counterattacking, they will make a desperate attempt to capture the gates, then our counterattack will be meaningless.

"The end will be ordered, please rest assured, but the end of the sect will have a breath of air, and the Zhengyang Gate will be safe!" Cai Mingbo answered categorically.

I said hello, and immediately went down the city tower with Luo Rou, Xue'er, Wei Dayong and his party, and went straight to Chaoyang Gate. There are still tens of thousands of rebels in the city, if I go out of Zhengyang Gate, I will inevitably be dragged in the outer city, and it will be difficult to receive the miraculous effect of internal and external attacks, so I choose to temporarily give up the enemy in the outer city, and fully cooperate with Cheng Sheng to defeat the enemy army outside the city.

On the eve of dawn, if it were a normal time, at this time, the capital had already woken up from a sweet dream, but at this moment, there was only the clear green "de" of horses' hooves colliding with stone slabs in the deep streets...... ......", when the group left, the dark street behind them fell silent again.

After a while, the group came to Chaoyangmen.

At this moment, outside the Chaoyang Gate, Wen Qian, the commander of the Jinyi guard, the three thousand battalions to defend the country, and the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of the Chaoyang Gate, Fang Zhengde, Hou Zhi, Huo Yiyu and thousands of troops were waiting quietly in the dark night.

"The king has arrived!" A junior colonel shouted when he saw our group riding over.

Hearing the voice of the little colonel, thousands of straight chests became even stronger.

Outside the distance between Wenqian and Wei Guozhang, he dropped the saddle and handed over the war horse to Wei Dayong.

"Have you gathered all the troops?"

Wen Qian bowed and bowed: "Back to the royal governor, except for one thousand Jinyi guards who are responsible for the security of the palace, the remaining three thousand five hundred people have all been assembled!" ”

Wei Guo also bowed and said: "The 3,500 people in the 3,000 battalions of the lower officials' headquarters, except for the 57 seriously injured, are all assembled!" ”

"One hundred and thirty members of the Wuyi Alliance have been assembled!" Hou Zhi also said loudly.

"Okay, General Wen, General Weiguo, and Hou Daxia have worked hard!" I nodded. That's right, these people are all the strength of my counteroffensive. The defenders were already very tired and embarrassed after more than a month of fierce fighting, and these 3,500 brocade guards and 3,5300 cavalry battalions had been responsible for the safety of the palace, and were also used as reserves. And the good hands of the Wuyi League are much stronger than the soldiers, although it is also very hard, but it is not difficult to persist in this last battle, not to mention that I have to get more credit for these brothers of the Wuyi League, and I will have a talisman in the future, right? I can only pull the people of the Five Righteous Alliance into the battlefield without being favored.

"Open the city gate, 3,000 battalions take the lead out of the city, occupy two wings, cover the Jinyi guards out of the city, and after defeating the enemy in front of them, the whole army turns to the rebel camp outside the Guangqu Gate!" I don't have the idea of speaking to the army, these people are not like those brothers on the city gate, who have been born and died with me for more than a month, I can make them give birth to three points of strength in vain with a word, these people have been staying behind, just obeying my character, not impressing my personality charm, what I say, they will not be touched, in case of coldness, will not hit morale?

"The last will be ordered!" Wen Qian and the others said in unison.

Fang Zhengde immediately commanded the defenders to open the city gates.

The city gate soon opened, and Wei Guo bowed down: "Does the governor still have orders?" ”

"It's gone! Let's go! ”

"Yes!" Wei Guo immediately jumped on horseback and raised the gun in his hand: "Go!" "After that, I urged to ride, and I was the first to walk out of Chaoyangmen.

Then, three thousand five hundred iron horsemen followed him in an orderly manner and crossed the doorway.

I waited for Yu Wenqian to lead the brocade guards to follow closely and walked to the doorway.

"I wish you all a victorious start and success immediately!" Fang Zhengde bowed at the city gate.

I nodded: "After I wait, Lord Fang will immediately close the city gate, don't be careless, beware of the rebel dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry!" ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands!"

The drawbridge was not lowered - thanks to the rebels, the attack for more than a month, although it was a feint, still filled up three sand banks that were too wide outside the Chaoyang Gate.

Midnight – the last darkness before dawn! It's also the time when people are at their most sleepy, but these are the best times for us to attack. At this time, the spirit of the rebel sentry is the most trance-like, and the night can also cover our movements, which can greatly increase the suddenness of the assault!

Soon, the army crossed the moat.

It is impossible for thousands of troops to go undetected unless the rebel sentinels are deaf and blind. Sure enough, the army had just walked out of more than 100 zhang......
