Qin Zhao really had a certain understanding of the Queen Mother, and it was estimated that the situation was similar, as a firework exploded in the air, and after a while, he heard a sound from the east gate.

After Qin Zhao finished arranging the things around him, he also hurried to the east gate, at this time the soldiers at the east gate had already been waiting for him, outside the city were the soldiers and horses from the queen mother, the queen mother took advantage of the dark day to make a move, and the soldiers and horses had already gathered at the city gate at this time.

Qin Zhao knew that this group of troops at the east gate was almost all the troops that the queen mother could transfer into the capital, and the other troops were still outside the city at this time, Qin Zhao also knew very well in his heart that the urgent need now was this east gate, as long as the soldiers at the east gate were repulsed, the queen mother's attack plan could only stop here temporarily.

"Your Majesty, the number of troops sent by the Queen Mother at the East Gate, the minister has conservatively estimated that it is about 3,000 people, and we only have 2,000 troops now."

Mrs. Li was a little nervous at this time, and said to Qin Zhao about Qin Zhao, after listening to it, he put his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was a little dignified, although there was a difference in strength, but the difference between only a thousand people was not too big, and their soldiers were in the city, but the Queen Mother's soldiers were outside the door.

"Don't panic, since I have already arranged for you to come to guard the town, I believe in your ability, you just need to do it according to your own practice, the troops in other places, I have already sent people to dispatch, and they will soon come to the periphery of the capital to station, now we have to repel this group of soldiers at the east gate now, and teach the Queen Mother a lesson, she will not dare to mess too much, and also give us some opportunity to relax."

Qin Zhao said this, Li Taiwei's heart also settled down a lot, he nodded, and then the people on the city tower put down the ladder, Li Taiwei climbed up along the ladder, Qin Zhao watched below, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he also climbed the ladder.

Standing on this city tower, looking at the outside is indeed a black crowd of people, although it is already dark now, it still looks like a large group of people, Qin Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, this is nothing.

"Very good, the Queen Mother estimates that the soldiers who can be dispatched into the capital are not many 3,000 people, we also have 2,000 troops, don't worry too much, as long as they resist this wave of attacks, they will be exhausted after dawn, and they will no longer be able to attack the city!"

Qin Zhao's tone was quite stable, but at this time, he was actually very worried in his heart, he had already arranged for Lord Song to take Guan Tongshu away, but now there are very likely to be many Queen Mother's people in the capital.

He was a little worried about this, where is the capital considered a safe place, Qin Zhao was thinking about Guan Tongshu's safety in his heart, and he was worried about the traces of the two children, this matter was already very complicated in his heart, and before the words fell, he saw that under the city tower, the soldiers outside had already begun to attack.

Their vanguard troops were all holding bows and arrows, and there was a handful of straw tied to the bow and arrows, Qin Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The task we have to complete today is to open this city gate, break the gate of this palace, rush in, and bring Qin Zhao's head up, even if it is our explanation to the Queen Mother!"

Qin Zhao stood behind his back with his hands behind his back and looked below, this should be the queen mother's lieutenant, after he said this, there was a group of echoing voices under the excitement of the crowd, and the corners of Qin Zhao's mouth smiled coldly.

"You dog thieves are really ridiculous, can you call the emperor's name directly? I advise you to quickly lay down your weapons now and surrender immediately, otherwise you will not be left behind!" ”

Taiwei Li opened his mouth and said to the people below, but unexpectedly, the people below were unmoved, Qin Zhao took half a step back slightly, and stood in a relatively safe position.

"Your Majesty, their bows and arrows have thatch on them, and there are torches, it is estimated that they want to set fire to our city gate, this city gate is made of wood, if it really burns, this city gate will be burned open sooner or later."

Captain Li was a little worried and told Qin Zhao, but after hearing this, Qin Zhao nodded, and stretched out a hand to comfort Captain Li, because he didn't have to be too nervous, Captain Li followed Qin Zhao's line of sight and looked down, only to see that the soldiers were already climbing up with buckets of water.

"Shoot the arrows!

The person who took the lead shouted and released the arrows, and in an instant, countless arrows shot towards the city platform, and the guards on the side protected Qin Zhao behind, and the soldiers in the front row took out the shields that had been prepared long ago to block themselves, and also blocked the soldiers behind.

The soldiers in the back row took up buckets of water, and where there was fire, they were extinguished, although these straws were brought with fire, and it was easy to set the city gate on fire, but the straw tied to it was limited after all, and it burned out in a short time, and the water was splashed too much, and the ground was already wet, although these torches were shot up, but they did not have much effect.

Qin Zhao stood in the back position, looking at the black pressure of the human head below, his expression was always calm

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here, you better go back to the Yongle store and wait for news, we will definitely do our best to protect the city gate!"

The situation at the scene was very hectic, and Captain Li commanded his soldiers to pour down a bucket of water, and a steady stream of oil and water was also sent up, but he was not worried about how big the fire would burn, but he was worried that there were random arrows everywhere in the air, and if he accidentally shot at the emperor, then this crime would be a big crime.

Qin Zhao only waved his hand when he heard this.

"Captain don't worry, you just command your soldiers, I know everything in my heart, and I will pay attention to safety, and besides, there are guards guarding me, so I don't have to worry about anything."

Qin Zhao's calm posture made Taiwei Li a little admired, and he didn't say anything anymore, bowed in front of him with both hands, and turned back to continue to command.

The people below didn't know how many arrows there were, but they shot up one by one, and the soldiers' shields were already filled with all kinds of arrows, and some soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

"Brothers, don't stop, fight with the old witch of the Queen Mother to the end, we have a shield anyway, and we are not afraid of their broken copper arrows!"

Captain Li was also very excited at this time, Qin Zhao saw that a soldier had fallen, and he hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to pull the injured soldier aside, but the guards next to him were shocked when they saw this, raised their shields, and hurriedly protected Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao didn't object, he dragged the wounded soldier aside, and the soldier in charge of the ambulance next to him took the wounded down for treatment, and Qin Zhao felt calmer when he saw this situation.

Although it is said that the queen mother's manpower may be more than herself, but the queen mother lacks combat experience after all, Qin Zhao also felt a little quieter in his heart when he saw this, although this is the east gate, it is the oldest gate in the palace, but it can be regarded as strong, but they must always be stationed next to this city gate.
