Seeing that the little palace maid had a calm face and did not have the slightest fear, Chu Garlic was secretly surprised in her heart, no matter whether the little palace maid in front of her said it in her heart or not, it was already very good to have this courage not to be shocked.

In the entire palace, there are really not many palace maids with such psychological qualities, and Chu Garlic is very satisfied with them in his heart.

"You want to live, the mourning family has an important matter to ask you." Chu Lianzi said and looked at the little palace maid beside him.

"The Queen Mother commands." The little palace maid lowered her head and answered.

Chu Lianzi looked up at the fire in the direction of the north gate, frowned and said: "The north gate is on fire, the capital is in danger, in case the capital is breached, the Zhao army invades the palace, and the mourning family wants you to dress up as a folk girl and escape from the palace with the emperor, can you do it?" ”

"The Queen Mother, Zhao Jun is fierce and brutal, how can a weak woman escape." The little palace maid is obviously not absolutely sure.

"Whether you can escape or not, it's better than sitting still, the mourning family believes in you." Chu Garlic looked at the little palace maid and said.

"Yes, Queen Mother, slaves obey the order." The little palace maid bowed her head and took orders.

Chu Garlic nodded and said, "Okay, you go and prepare a few sets of folk clothes first!" ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." The little palace maid turned around as she spoke, and went to prepare.

After the little palace maid left, Chu Lianzi kept standing on a high place, looking at the raging fire in the direction of the north gate, and fell into deep contemplation.

In the direction of the north gate of Jiankang City, Cai Mo had just climbed the city wall, and he saw that the city wall was full of fires, including fireballs directly thrown by the Zhao army outside the city, as well as fire oil and rolling wood ignited by the fireballs of the Zhao army.

Although the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion are still desperately resisting, the shape is becoming more and more unfavorable to them, and the city may be lost at any time.

"Hu ......" a fireball thrown from the position of Zhao Jun's thunderbolt smashed directly into the middle of the city gate tower, and fell at Cai Mo's feet, the sparks from the fireball splashed on Cai Mo's arm, and Cai Mo kept slapping his arm in pain.

"My lord, it's too dangerous here, so you better go down!" Seeing that Cai Mo's arm was slightly injured, the general of the Chinese army said loudly.

Cai Mo shook his head and said: "The capital is in danger, the soldiers are fighting bloodily, how can this official escape from the battle, you just command the retreat of the enemy, don't care about me." ”

Seeing that Cai Mo still did not listen to persuasion, the general of the Chinese army was not easy to force, so he had to turn around and go to command the soldiers to defend against the enemy, leaving only a few soldiers with shields to protect Cai Mo's surroundings.

In order to defend the city wall, Cai Mo boldly transferred half of the defenders of the remaining city gates to the direction of the north gate, leaving only 500 defenders at each city gate, and at the same time let his subordinates mobilize thousands of people to help transport stones and other materials to defend the city.

The soldiers of the Wuyi battalion on the city wall were desperately defending the city, and Yao Gezhong's army outside the city was also attacking the city desperately.

Seeing the sudden increase in the Jin army on the city wall, Yao Gezhong expected that it would be drawn from the rest of the city gates, and in order to break through Jiankang City faster, Yao Gezhong also transferred back half of the army deployed in the remaining city gates, leaving only a thousand soldiers on the periphery of each city gate.

In this way, Yao Gezhong's main siege army increased to 14,000 men and horses, and the black pressure formed a great psychological deterrent to the Jin army defending the city.

"General, the reinforcements of the Jin army have arrived, and they are less than three miles away from the back of our army." A scout reports the hostile situation.

Yao Gezhong frowned, and hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"There are five or six thousand people in the black press." The scout replied truthfully.

When Yao Xiang heard this, he looked at Yao Gezhong and said, "Father, this must be the Jin army that was defeated by our army a few hours ago, but I didn't expect it to slow down so quickly." ”

"Hmph, it's a pity that we didn't completely annihilate them, and now our army has to divide our troops to deal with them." Yao Gezhong looked very annoyed.

When Yao Xiang heard this, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Father don't worry, the Jin army is not strong, the child can block them with 3,000 men and horses, and my father can only attack Jiankang City with all his might." ”

"No, 3,000 men and horses are too few, Xiang'er, the 3,000 men and horses that have just been withdrawn are also under your command, you immediately lead 6,000 men and horses to attack and completely defeat the Jin army behind you, so as to ensure the safety of my main siege army." Yao Gezhong commanded loudly.

"Yes, father." Yao Xiang took the order and turned around to gather the people.

Soon, Yao Xiang led 6,000 men and horses to pounce on the Wang Sixth Army, and at two miles outside the north gate city wall, Yao Xiang's soldiers and horses encountered Wang Liu's Army, and the two armies were a stone's throw away from each other and stopped respectively.

"General, the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army are comparable to our army, and our army can barely fight," a general said loudly.

Wang Liu nodded and said loudly: "Soldiers, the time for revenge has come, give me all my strength to attack and kill, and rush ......"

Under the leadership of the main general Wang Liu, the Wang Sixth Army went all out to kill the Yao Xiang Army that was approaching.

"I can't help myself." Yao Xiang sneered and ordered: "The whole army will attack and break the Jin army." ”

Under Yao Xiang's order, the 6,000 soldiers of the Zhao army also rushed forward and engaged the Jin soldiers and horses who rushed over.

The most important thing is the strength and morale of the soldiers, and at this time, the armed forces of the soldiers of the Yao Xiang Legion have a slight upper hand, and the morale is also higher than that of the Wang Sixth Army, therefore, not long after the battle, the Wang Sixth Army is at a disadvantage, but because the strength of the two sides is equal, the Wang Sixth Army can still hold on, and there will be no trend of rout.

Five miles outside the south gate of Jiankang City, more than 10,000 cavalry led by Hua'an had arrived here, and the scouts sent in advance to investigate the enemy's situation also rushed back.

"How is the situation in the capital?" Seeing the scout galloping back, Hua An hurriedly asked.

"General Hui, the capital has been surrounded by the Zhao army, the east, west, and south gates each have a thousand Zhao troops, and the main force of the Zhao army is attacking the city in the direction of the north gate, and the fire at the north gate is caused by the Zhao army besieging the city and setting fire to the houses in the capital." The scout replied truthfully.

"Big brother, Zhao Jun calmly besieged the capital, it seems that the little sixth son is already more than lucky!" Wang San said worriedly.

"Hey! His grandmother's, we're still a step late. "Thunderstorms also have some complaints.

Hua An thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, we came just in time, Xiao Liuzi has a great fortune, and he will definitely be fine." ”

"Big brother, what should we do now, do we attack Zhao Jun directly? The soldiers marched all the way, and they were already exhausted! Wang San frowned and said.
