The city is a city because it can be based on its height, take advantage of its danger, keep the enemy out of the world, and block the enemy's subordinates, but if a point is broken through, its high danger and the dispersion of troops will be transformed into a factor that restricts the defenders.

The current Tanzhou City has fallen one after another because of the Xuanwu Gate in the north and the White Tiger Gate in the east, and the defense in Tanzhou City has suddenly become extremely passive.

Nearly 4,000 Langzhou Han infantry troops rushed in from Xuanwu Gate converged with the defenders at the gate of Qiongbu, which was allowed by "Tou Cheng", with a total of nearly 5,000 people. Wang Kui and Zhou Xingfeng, who took the lead, simply discussed, leaving 1,000 people to fight against the subordinates of Wu Hong and Yang Di, who were rushing towards Lu, and led a motley army of 4,000 people along the north-south Antai Avenue to the Chu Wangfu slightly west of the center of the city; The Langzhou tribal army, which rushed in from the Baihumen in the east, still did not encounter much resistance after entering the city, and went straight to the Chu Wangfu along the east-west Anle Avenue.

The two torrents, one north and one east, are like the water of the rising tide, advancing like thunder. Along the way, a handful of patrolling soldiers, refugees sleeping on the streets, and unlucky pedestrians who appeared on the road disappeared like pebbles thrown into the sea.

Wu Hong's subordinates finally vacated the debris on the ramp of the city wall and rushed to the city wall. Wu Hong, who was full of grief and anger, came out with a wild knife, and slashed five Langzhou soldiers one after another, sweeping the corners of his eyes, but found that there were more and more enemies in front of him.

Wu Hong pulled a dead Langzhou soldier in front of him, he took two breaths, wiped the blood and sweat from his face with his left hand, and took a quick look at the situation in front of him, and his heart immediately cooled: The Langzhou soldiers were running in from the Xuanwu Gate in an endless stream, shouting and rushing forward.

Wu Hong looked back, although the brothers behind him were still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, the expression of fear in his eyes and face was unconcealed.

Wu Hong glanced at it from a distance, and found that Yang Di on the other side of the city gate was also similar to himself, and was about to fall into a heavy siege. ”

After shouting, Wu Hong turned the corpse to the left side of his body, and the person began to rush towards the alleys of the houses under the city wall, and he knew that there was a shortcut road that could be copied diagonally to the north gate of the Chu Palace.

When the head moves, the body will naturally move with it. Wu Hong's soldiers also collectively turned around and rushed away.

The Langzhou soldiers who were the enemy with Wu Hong were fighting, but they found that the opponent had run away, and for a moment, a commander immediately shouted: "Let's go, let's fight the Chu Palace!" "What's the point of killing these minions? Only by beating the Chu Wangfu can you make great contributions and grab a lot of money!

Hearing the order, the soldiers immediately became excited, turned around and merged into the torrent running southward.

At this time, the Chu Wangfu was already in chaos.

Early in the morning, after learning that the Langzhou army was in battle under the city, Ma Xiguang began to enter a state of madness, carrying a sword in his hand, leading a group of guards, staying in the Nine Dragons Hall of the military discussion for a while and shouting wildly, running to the Guangzheng Building where the general's family was under house arrest to threaten him, and then running to the heavily guarded palace wall to command, asking if the cavalry reporting safety was coming?

Ma Xiguang, who did not dare to go to the battlefield in person, in order to keep abreast of the situation of the four city walls, assigned personal guards to report the safety of the city walls every quarter of an hour. It was now three quarters of the hour, and he had not seen any cavalry coming from the east or north for three consecutive minutes, Ma Xiguangxin was even more panicked, and the sword in his hand was swinging more urgently.

Nearly halfway through the hour, a soldier standing on the southeast corner tower of the Chu Palace's mansion suddenly screamed, pointed to the east and couldn't speak, and another soldier next to him stared at it and immediately shouted: "The enemy army has entered the city!" He turned around and grabbed the drumsticks, and the alarm drum sounded, and almost at the same time, the drums on the northeast corner tower also sounded.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Ma Xi's eyes rolled wide, his body twitched, and he actually sat down on the ground, talking gibberishly, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

The ministers of civil and military affairs who stayed in the Nine Dragons Hall heard the sound of drums, panicked one by one, ran out of the hall, and looked around.

Liu Yingyan, the commander of the camp, and Li Yanwen, the commander of the horse army, quietly moved away from the crowd.

Liu Yingyan pointed to the east and north, and said hurriedly: "The city wall was lost so quickly, someone must have treasoned and set up the enemy to enter the city!" You and my brothers are both cavalrymen, and they have no advantage in the chaos of the city. Not as good as we ......."

Hearing Liu Yingyao's plan, Li Yanwen turned his head to look at Ma Xiguang, who was being lifted by several guards, gritted his teeth fiercely, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just according to what Brother Liu said." I'll go and gather the cavalry, bring the target person first, and leave thirty horses to wait for you outside the south gate of the Chu Palace; Brother Liu led the two of us to rescue you and my family, and we met at the Suzaku Gate. ”

Liu Yingyu nodded slightly, turned around and left. Li Yanwen glanced back at the Nine Dragons Hall behind him, sighed softly, hid his figure behind a thick camphor tree, and walked away quickly.

After Ma Xiguang was helped up, he suddenly scolded: "This group of white-eyed wolves who can't be fed! In vain I spent so much money to reward them, they still betrayed me! I'm going to kill the families of the guards of the North City and the South City! ”

Li Honggao, a scholar from the Tiance Mansion next to him, hurriedly persuaded: "King Chu, at this moment, it is important to plan a way out!" The king of Chu should ask the cavalry to escort him, and take his mother and His Royal Highness to evacuate first! ”

Ma Xiguang seemed to wake up suddenly, shook his sore head, and said with difficulty: "You're right. Where there is life, there is hope! Come on, please come over to Lord Liu and Master Li! ”

The guards hurriedly searched around, only to find that Liu Yingyu and Li Yanwen were gone. At this moment, there was no hope of escape in the last place, and a large group of monarchs and ministers were completely panicked.

Ma Xi's eyes turned wildly, and he suddenly saw the sword under his feet, leaned over and grabbed the sword, and ran towards Guangzheng Building with his legs drawn, shouting in his mouth: "Rebel ministers and thieves, kill them all, and leave no one behind!" ”

Li Honggao couldn't cry or laugh, it's all at this time, if you kill all the relatives of the Tanzhou generals, don't say that Ma Xicao doesn't keep you, even the Tanzhou generals will tear you alive! He grabbed Ma Xiguang and persuaded bitterly: "At this time, this move is not beneficial, let's leave as soon as possible!" ”

At this point, it's too late to go!

The fastest tribal army had already run to the east gate of the Chu Wang's Mansion and began to shout at the guards to open the door and surrender, and the soldiers standing on the wall of the mansion panicked, not knowing what to do. Soon, Wang Kui and Zhou Xingfeng led the army from the north to the east gate, and the square outside the east gate was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, and the soldiers on the palace wall were even more lost.

A former Tanzhou deputy general came out of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Is the commander of Duan Feicheng here?" Brother is allowed to be commanded by Joan's subordinates, please come out and see him. ”

A general dressed as a commander stood in front of the guards and did not answer, staring blankly at the red tide in front of him.

The adjutant general shouted loudly: "General Duan, my family General Xu said that if the family of any general in the army is damaged, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the Chu Palace, please make a decision quickly!" ”

Duan Feicheng still didn't speak, shook his head with a wry smile, threw the sword in his hand to the ground, and motioned to the guards to open the door of the mansion.

Like a dam suddenly outflowing, the red tide immediately rushed down and poured into the vast Chu Palace, and cheers, laughter, and exclamations began to sound throughout the palace.

At noon, knowing that the palace of the king of Chu in Tanzhou City had been lowered, and most of the area in the city had been controlled, Ma Xicao led the civil and military ministers to enter the city from the Xuanwu Gate in the north.

At the gate of the city, Lin Feng, who was riding a horse to accompany the side of the large team, saw Zhou Qizhi jumping on the side of the road and shouting at him, and immediately turned his horse and drove away from the team. A dozen or so brothers behind him followed.

Lin Feng and Zhou Qizhi beat each other's chests and saluted, hugged each other tightly, and the other brothers also came over to hug Zhou Qizhi. On the cruel battlefield, the brothers haven't seen each other for a few days, and they miss it very much!

As soon as Lin Feng inquired, he learned that most of the rich man's mansion had already been inserted into the Tang Black Dragon Clan, and most of the people were still in the Huang Zongwang Mansion, so he immediately decided to go directly to the Huang Zongwang Mansion. In the process of entering the city in the morning, waiting at the north city gate, Zhou Guiqing had already connected with the special soldiers sent by Lin Feng and successfully obtained the Black Dragon Banner.

Zhou Qizhi pointed to the huge Langzhou military horse team, Lin Feng understood, shook his head and said: "Ma Xicao must be going to show off in front of his former brothers, there is nothing to look at, let's go!" ”

So, under the leadership of Zhou Qizhi, a group of people left the brigade and went straight to Huangfu. However, Lin Feng and the others didn't notice that not far from them, two soldiers also quietly broke away from the team, far behind them.

Ma Xicao, who was sitting on the jade chariot, listened to the tidal words of the surrounding ministers, and was so immortal that he didn't notice that Lin Feng was leading people away.

Approaching the east gate of the Chu Palace, Xie Yanhao came to Yu Yuan and praised loudly: "The King of Chu has taken the Xuanwu Gate so smoothly in this dynasty, and easily recaptured the rivers and mountains of the Chu State, which is far better than the changes in the Xuanwu Gate that Li Shimin of the former Tang Dynasty worked so hard for!" The divine martial arts of the king of Chu far surpass the famous emperors of the past dynasties! "Yes, Xie Yanhao directly raised Ma Xixuan to a status higher than that of Tang Taizong!

The flesh on Ma Xicao's fat face was piled up, and he laughed wildly.
