"Your Majesty, the Mingde Gate in this capital is about to be unguarded, and General Tang Pingzhi outside the city has also been defeated by the Qin State." The master stood in Tang Liyi's ear and said.

"This Tang Pingzhi was adopted by the Tang family since he was a child, and was deeply taught by the Tang family, and later used his connections to make him a general of the Song State. Tang Liyi touched his forehead and said.

"Your Majesty, what now? If the city gate can't be defended, you can only fight in the streets. And the troops outside the city were defeated, and our supplies were completely cut off. The master said worriedly.

"Most of the infantry in the state of Chu should take a few days to arrive, and I will abandon the city gate and let the troops on standby enter the previously repaired fortifications to prepare for street fighting." Tang Liyi touched the jade wrench on his finger and said.

At this moment, the battlefield outside the city was full of scars, Tang Pingzhi and his own soldiers were surrounded by the Qin army, except for a small number of Song cavalry who escaped, the rest of the Song army was either killed or captured.

Tang Pingzhi used his sword to support himself and prevent himself from falling. Looking at the Qin army that surrounded him, Tang Pingzhi gasped and wiped the blood on his forehead.

"General Tang has descended, the overall situation has been decided, don't fight for the tiger anymore. Our general Meng knows that you have been nurtured by the Tang family since you were a child, and you have taken the surname Tang. But as long as General Tang is willing to surrender, we guarantee the safety of you and your men. An officer in the Qin army persuaded him to surrender.

"This providence is not a crime of war." Tang Pingzhi looked up at the sky and shouted, then discarded the saber in his hand.

When Tang Pingzhi's personal soldiers saw it, they also put down their weapons, and were immediately escorted to the prisoner of war camp by the Qin army. Meng Jian looked at the thousands of Song soldiers who were captured alive and said with a smile: "The Song army is generally middle and upper class among the eastern countries, and the Song army is vulnerable in front of the Qin country's iron cavalry, it seems that the eastern countries are not the opponents of our Qin state except for the Jin State and the Chu State."

The performance of the Song army in the war greatly stimulated Meng Qian's ambitions, and in recent years, the Qin State attacked the Xiongnu in the north, swallowed the Qiang land in the west, and plundered the Bashu in the south, except for the losses in the east and the Jin and Chu wars. And as long as the forces of Jin and Chu are avoided, these small and medium-sized countries are undoubtedly the best targets.

After the coalition army took control of the city wall, the Song army who was holding on to the city gate knew that there was no point in defending it, so they were captured, and as the gate that had been closed for a long time was opened, countless coalition soldiers poured in. Standing on the earth mountain, seeing all this, Lu Zhan outside the city smiled happily.

"Lu Zhan, come with me into the city to have a look." The one wearing ochre-red armor next to him finally patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder.

"Yu'er, wait a while and then go in, now the area at the gate of the city has not been completely cleared, and if you can't keep it, one or two dead soldiers with crossbow arrows will be ready to assassinate the main characters." Lu Zhan grabbed Zhang Yu, who was about to enter the city.

Seeing Lu Zhan's movements, Zhang Yu began to say in a weird manner: "Lu Lang, you really listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess. After getting married, maybe you will have to give the princess as an ancestor. After speaking, Zhang Yu shook off Lu Zhan's hand, turned over and got on his horse, ready to enter the city.

Lu Zhan suddenly thought that this jade wouldn't be jealous too, one vinegar jar was not enough to have another one. Alas, it's hard to be a man.

However, Lu Zhan couldn't rest assured that Zhang Yu would go after him, so he also turned over and chased Zhang Yu away. Among the many coalition soldiers entering the city, Lu Zhan, who was in white robe and silver helmet, chased after a man wearing ochre-red armor.

"The Overseer is running so fast on horseback, is there something urgent?" A soldier asked his commander suspiciously.

"The one wearing ochre-red armor is the eldest lady of the Zhang family, and we don't know what is going on between the nobles." The chief explained after looking at the two on horseback.

Zhang Yu, who led the way into the city, looked at the corpses piled up on both sides of the road and the undried blood stains on the ground, and remembered the bloody night before, when a big fool surnamed Lu led someone to rescue her.

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far to near, and the white-robed and silver-helmeted Lu Zhan rode his horse to Zhang Yu's side, but before Lu Zhan said that Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to safety and was jealous, he found that Zhang Yu's expression was not quite right.

Looking at Zhang Yu, who seemed to be reminiscing about something, he didn't notice that Lu Zhan had arrived beside him, and Lu Zhan didn't disturb Zhang Yu, who was contemplative. Lu Zhan, who had nothing to do, looked at the battlefield around him, while a man in the clothes of ordinary people in a house quietly pointed the crossbow arrow in his hand at Lu Zhan, who was eye-catching in the crowd.

The white-robed and silver helmet is indeed majestic, but the target is also big, and the crossbowman who wears the common people smiled and knocked the trigger. With a whoosh, the crossbow bolt slashed through the sky and shot towards Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhanzhi felt a pain in his waist, and his body suddenly fell off the horse. Lu Zhan grinned in pain while covering his waist, and whispered to himself, "My kidneys, don't be fine."

As the soldier shouted that there was an assassin, Zhang Yu reacted from his memories, and when he saw Lu Zhan, who had fallen to the ground with an arrow, he instantly felt self-blame and anger in his heart.

Some of the soldiers rushed to the house where the crossbowmen were hiding, and only to find that you had fled.

"My brother-in-law, my prison army, was attacked by assassins in public!" The new emperor looked angrily at Lu Zhan who was lying on the bed.

The imperial doctor smeared Lu Zhan with herbs, wrapped it in gauze, knelt on the ground and said to the new emperor: "Report to Your Majesty, the arrows in the Lu Jian Army are poisonous, but fortunately, there are herbs for the symptoms, as long as you rest for a few days, you can get out of bed."

Hearing that Lu Zhan was fine, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and after everyone left, there were only four people left: Jing Nianshuang, Zhang Yu, Xiao Yezi and Xu Hao. Xu Hao looked around, there were no other men except Lu Zhan, and he also felt that it was inconvenient to stay any longer, so he got up and walked out.

After looking at the other people around him, Jing Nianshuang clenched his hands and asked Zhang Yu with red eyes: "Why did you take Lu Lang to such a dangerous place, what are your intentions?" As he spoke, tears the size of beans rolled across his face.

Zhang Yu on the side looked at Lu Zhan who was lying on the bed, and was also very distressed, but he couldn't say anything in the face of Jing Nianshuang's accusations.

"Lu Lang, he obviously promised me that he would not go to a dangerous place again, I heard that it was you, Miss Zhang, who had to go, Lu Lang, he couldn't rest assured that you would go to such a dangerous place." Jing Nianshuang said with a crying voice, and gradually cried silently as she spoke.

Xiao Yezi on the side wiped Jing Nianshuang's tears with a handkerchief and gently patted her shoulder. Zhang Yu, who was accused, looked at Jing Nianshuang, who was crying, and Lu Zhan, who was lying on the bed, gritted his teeth and said: "I am responsible for what happened to Lu Zhan, and I will go to avenge him now."

After speaking, he walked out of the military tent without looking back, Xiao Yezi didn't know whether to stop Zhang Yu or continue to comfort the crying Jing Nianshuang, so he had to pray that the young master would wake up soon.

"Zhang Ze, pass me on the order to gather everyone in the Zhang family to follow me to arrest that assassin." Zhang Yu ordered to Zhang Ze beside him.

Looking at the angry eldest lady, Zhang Ze had no choice but to agree.
