Due to the large number of people transported, although Hui'an Prefecture only transported 10,000 war horses, although there were many ships, Lu Yuan's army was composed of 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.

Outside the city gate, Qian Hongyu's forbidden army was indeed gone, and Lu Yuan nodded secretly.

He already knew that the situation had changed, and that the Forbidden Army had not confronted the town navy.

The reason why I came to the East Gate was to drive away the forbidden army, or to defeat the forbidden army.

As long as there was no forbidden army of Qian Hongyu, and only Cai Gao's town navy defended, he believed that his army could break through the city.

It doesn't matter if the Southgate plan succeeds or not.

On the city wall, Cai Gao had already heard the news and looked nervously at the Hui'an army below.

The useless guys of the forbidden army actually escaped, which made Cai Gao a little panicked.

In the face of this Hui'an army, which had repeatedly defeated the forbidden army, he was not sure that he could hold the city of Hangzhou.

"How's going on at the palace? Haven't you beaten it down yet? Cai Gao said impatiently.

"Father, there is still an attack over there, and the forbidden army is resisting very stubbornly, but in another hour or two, it should be able to attack it." Cai Shu said in a deep voice.

Cai Gao nodded, no matter how strong the Hui'an army is, it is impossible to defeat Hangzhou so quickly, as long as he takes the palace, he will seize the silver money in the treasury, even if he can't beat it, he can still run, and then make a comeback when the strength is strong in the future!

Thinking of this, he went down the city wall and decided to go to the palace to supervise the battle.

Outside the city gate, Lu Yuan was discussing with everyone.

"Jieshuai, the whistle Malai reported, the Wuyue forbidden army is stationed thirty miles east of the city, it should be to wait for us and Cai Gao to consume first." Qin Youyu said.

"Foolish." Qin Quan commented coldly.

"Jie Shuai, my subordinates think that you can lead 25,000 people to attack the south gate according to the original plan, and my subordinates are willing to take 5,000 people to guard this place to prevent the Wu Yue forbidden army from entering the city after the city is broken." Meng Xiaojin said.

"Okay, you will lead 5,000 cavalry to stay here." Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Then the army went around and returned to the south gate, Lan Liuyi was a little nervous in her heart, at this point, whether her subordinates could open the south gate would become the key.

Although Long Yan has already obtained Cai Jun's seal letter, there may be some accidents, such as being discovered by Cai Jun, such as Cai Jun being suddenly removed, although the possibility is very small, but she still can't help but worry.

At this time, Lu Yuan's voice sounded in her ears.

"Order, order the navy to attack the city immediately, and our side will attack the city in half an hour."

Lan Liuyi's fists gradually clenched, and she said in her heart: "Protector Li, it's up to you." ”

She has two sets of plans under her command, if she cheats to open the city gate, it is naturally the best, if it fails, all the disciples of the White Lotus Sect will attack the city gate with all their strength and try their best to lower the drawbridge.

……

In a courtyard in the city of Hangzhou, Princess Zhende was sitting on a chair, but every once she sat up, she would stand up and look at the door, apparently waiting for someone.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, she hurriedly walked to the door to take a look, and saw Lai Qingzheng following her maidservant into the courtyard.

"Why are you here now?" She reproached.

"I can't help it, Lian Ze wants me to protect Cai Shu all the time, and I finally got out." Lai Qing went straight into the lobby, took the teapot, and drank it directly at the spout.

"How's it going out there?" Princess Jindeok asked eagerly.

"The Hui'an army is here, the forbidden army under Qian Hongyu is afraid that they have fled from Hangzhou, half of the Zhenjun is defending the city, half is attacking the palace, and Cai Gao is supervising the battle in the palace."

"So the Hui An Army will be able to get in sooner or later?" Princess Zhendeok's eyes lit up.

"It shouldn't be wrong, it's okay for Cai Gao to engage in conspiracy and trickery, where can he beat the Hui'an Army if he fights." Lai Qing said disdainfully.

Princess Zhende took out a note and said with a smile: "You quickly take this to the south gate and let the Hui'an army in." ”

"What is this?" Lai Qing took the note, spread it out and looked at it, only to see that it was written with an order to open the city gate, and the handwriting was Cai Gao, and there was his seal and seal on the back.

"Where did you come from?" Lai Qing was surprised.

Princess Zhende smiled slightly, and said proudly: "The words on this letter are all words from Cai Gao's other letters, I cut them out and framed them together, and the same is true for the sealed letter." Okay, hurry up and do it, with this credit, the true star will definitely be favored. ”

Lai Qing showed a look of joy, as Princess Zhende said, with this credit, it is extremely beneficial to their future situation, he hurriedly said: "Then you hide here, I will come back immediately." ”

As he spoke, he strode out the door.

Out of the courtyard, he headed south, only to see that most of the shops on the street were closed, and there were very few pedestrians, apparently hiding in their homes.

From time to time, a small group of soldiers could be seen passing by on the road.

The closer he got to the city gate, the more soldiers there were, and the more carriages there were, Lai Qing picked up his speed, and it didn't take long for him to finally arrive at the city gate.

As far as the eye can see, this place has become a military camp, and countless soldiers have surrounded the city gates.

The cavalry, in particular, occupied the left side of the city gate, and the heads of men and horses moved with each other, and there was no end in sight.

In the center and to the right are the infantry, and there are also several tents, which act like a makeshift barracks.

At this time, going up to give an order is tantamount to asking for his own death, I don't know which camp Cai Shu is in, as long as he sends someone to ask Cai Gao for instructions, the lie will be broken.

Lai Qing understood this very well, stood at the corner of the street, and waited patiently.

After observing for a while, he finally understood why there were so many carriages on the road. I saw the soldiers take out the boulders and stakes from the wagons and put them in an open space, which seemed to be used to defend the city.

Half an hour later, Lai Qing noticed a ride flying on the street, and the person on the horse, Lai Qing, knew that it was Changyang, the strategist of Houfu.

Changyang turned over and dismounted and entered the largest camp tent, and soon, Cai Shu's figure appeared, followed by Cai Rong, Cai Jun and others.

Cai Shu, Cai Jun and Changyang left with people, Lai Qing looked at the direction and knew that they were going in the direction of Watergate, and it seemed that the battle over there had begun.

Although Hangzhou has a moat, it is also connected to the Fuchun River, and the most difficult thing to defend is the attack of the navy, and the navy of the Hui'an army is very strong, Cai Shu is naturally more worried about that side, so he went over in person.

Cai Rong, who stayed in place, led people up the city wall, and it seemed that he was responsible for the defense of the south gate.

After that, the soldiers stationed at the city gate also began to move, and half of them reinforced in the direction of the water gate.

Most of the remaining soldiers went up to the city wall, and some carried stones and stakes piled on the ground to the wall, and only a small group of soldiers remained at the city gate.

The cavalry stationed on the left side of the gate did not move, but the soldiers were already standing by their horses, ready to enter the battle.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lai Qing found that there were constantly wounded soldiers coming down on the city wall, most of them were hit by arrows, thinking that the other party had already begun to attack the city, he felt that the time was almost up, and strode towards the city gate.

Suddenly, a man walked out of a shop quickly, grabbed ahead of Lai Qing, and also walked towards the city gate.

Lai Qing hurriedly followed, only to see that the man had already walked under the city gate, and the soldiers stationed there stepped forward to surround him, and a squad leader shouted, "Who are you?" Isn't it the meticulous work of the Hui'an Army? ”

The man took out a piece of paper and said loudly: "On the orders of General Cai, the guard of the South Gate, I ordered you to open the city gate immediately." ”

This squad leader was a squad leader in the South Gate garrison, he took the paper, and after looking at it, he found that it did indeed have the seal of his own general.

Seeing that he hesitated, the man scolded: "Don't open the door quickly, the Hui'an army outside has fled, General Cai was ordered to lead the troops out of the city to pursue, he is about to come down, if you see that the city gate has not been opened, you will be severely punished!" ”

The team leader has been under the city gate all the time, and there is a moat outside, so he can't hear the movement outside at all.

He believed it and thought that the Hui'an army had really fled, and said with great joy: "Great, let those Hui'an people know how powerful we are!" ”

With a wave of his hand, his soldiers began to move the deadbolt, which required several people to move due to the size of the gate, and there were five such bolts.

Watching the soldiers move one by one, Protector Li's palms were full of sweat, and he kept looking in the direction of the city wall, for fear that some important person would suddenly come down and notice the situation here.

Suddenly, he noticed that a man in black not far behind him was looking at this side, and his heart suddenly became vigilant.

He didn't know how remorseful Lai Qing felt at the moment, fuck, he was one step slower, and the credit for sacrificing the city was robbed by this guy, and he didn't know who this kid was.

What's even more annoying is that he can't interfere in the past, and if he conveys Cai Gao's order now, it is likely to be self-defeating and make the soldiers suspicious.

At this moment, a cavalryman in the distance saw that something was wrong at the city gate, came on horseback, and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
