Yue'er said to Taiwei Gao again: "Lord Taiwei, you bother to go to Gongchen Gate, although the north gate is remote, but you also need someone to sit in charge, you ask someone to bring the Baili Concubine to the north gate, let her help you guard the Gongchen Gate, as long as she does her best, the emperor can consider pardoning her guilt!" ”

Xuan Ling nodded.

"Yes—"

Huang Jien answered, got up and rushed to the Qingshou Palace, the concubines were still locked up in the Qingshou Palace, and he wanted to go there to pick up people first.

Taiwei Gao said to the two guards who were supporting him: "The situation is urgent, you go to find the Baili Concubine first, and the old minister will go directly to Gongchen Gate, so as not to delay time!" ”

The two guards nodded and galloped away.

Now there are five guards left beside Xuan Ling and Yue'er, and Yue'er instructed the guards to carry Xuan Ling to the Xuande Gate.

There was a hustle and bustle outside Xuande Gate.

"The emperor has arrived—"

Yue'er shouted.

The forbidden army in the city saw an old man in a dragon robe brought up below, and immediately cheered together.

At this time, the sun is setting, and half of the sky is soaked in red glow.

Xuan Ling and Yue'er went up to the city, and couldn't help but be startled, only to see that the city was in a mess, there were many corpses on the wall, and a big gap was blown up at the head of the city.

Several ministers helped Lin Chengyong over, and Lin Chengyong limped and was covered in blood.

"Lord Lin, you, what's wrong with you?"

Xuan Ling's face changed in shock.

"Just now, the artillery exploded, and the minister was affected and injured a little fur, it's fine, Your Majesty, can your dragon body still hold up?"

It turned out that the gap in the city was actually an artillery explosion, which accidentally injured many people, Lin Chengyong said it easily, but in fact, the injury was not light.

Xuan Ling nodded, Yue'er found that there were less than two hundred forbidden troops left in the city, and almost all of them were bloody, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened, now that the time has just passed an hour or so, the city has lost one-third, and if you attack again, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on, if you can't hold it until Niu Shiguang brings the generals back, it will be dangerous.

Yue'er saw that there were two corner towers on the left and one on the right of Xuande Gate, and there was an arrow tower in the middle, and everyone was nervously guarding behind the battlements at this moment.

"How many rebels are down there, and how many have they attacked?"

"There are about 30,000 people under the Xuande Gate, and they launched an attack, but fortunately, they don't have many ladders, and they were beaten down by us with their lives, but we also injured nearly 100 people, and the worst thing is that we ran out of arrows."

Yue'er was taken aback.

"Lord Lin, didn't you just say that the city defense equipment is complete, why don't you have any arrows?"

"Yes, there is, but when I took it out just now, I found that those arrows and arrows were rusty and the arrow shafts were moldy and could not be used."

The guards of the palace were in charge of the Privy Council, and they were also the ones who did it himself, needless to say, it was his dereliction of duty.

"Aren't there two guns?"

Yue'er asked, just now she only heard a bang.

Lin Chengyong smiled bitterly.

"The arrows are rotten like this, who dares to use the artillery, what if it explodes again."

Yue'er screamed badly, and said to a guard: "You go to Donghuamen immediately, you must be careful when you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use artillery, that thing may explode!" ”

The guard answered and went quickly, but he had not been far away when he heard a bang coming from the direction of Donghua Gate.

Yue'er was a little worried, it seemed that Donghua Gate was very tight, Zhao Heng had already used artillery, but she didn't know if she was injured, and she could only pray secretly now.

Xuan Ling stretched out his hand to the guard beside him.

"Quick, help me up, I want to shout to the forbidden army under the city!"

"Wait—"

Yue'er shouted, got up and stood at the battlement, as soon as she appeared, two cold arrows swished up below, Yue'er practiced flying knives, her eyes were fast, she grabbed the two arrows in her hands with both hands, and shouted: "The emperor is here, Hugh is presumptuous!" She sang as a rope trick in the Hundred Flowers Class, and she hung her voice for seven years, and her voice was not ordinarily clear, and many people could hear it clearly.

The noise below suddenly fell into a low voice.

Yue'er's eyes swept over the city, trying to find out who was commanding below, but the bottom was densely packed with forbidden troops, and she couldn't tell who was the leader.

Xuan Ling walked to Yue'er's side, waved his hand to the city, and shouted: "Sons and daughters of Da Wei, you want to see me, I am here now, I am here!" There was majesty in his voice.

There was a commotion under the city, some people were in awe, and some quietly put away their weapons and retreated.

Another cold arrow flew in with a swish, Yue'er stood beside Xuan Ling, she still held two arrows in her hands, and with a wave of her hand at this moment, she knocked the arrow away, this is Yue'er, in exchange for Lin Zhaoyi or Zhaozhen, she can only block one more arrow for Xuan Ling.

Xuan Ling glared angrily in the direction of the arrow, and the archer threw away his bow and arrow in a panic and ducked into the crowd.

Yue'er shouted loudly: "Zhao Huawen intends to rebel, and he has been abolished from the post of general of the Zhenguo University, you still don't put down your weapons and withdraw from the city!" ”

Someone in the crowd shouted, "This is not the emperor, shoot him-"

This voice was sharp, it was a woman, Yue'er guessed which envoy of Qihua Palace she was, and couldn't help sneering: "Your Excellency, dare you stand up and speak!" ”

The man did not make a sound, but commanded from below, and several arrows came up with a whoosh.

Yue'er shouted, "Your Majesty is in danger, quickly retreat—" She swept the feather arrow in her hand and swept away a few arrows.

A guard pulled Xuan Ling down, but Yue'er was still standing at the battlement, and she had already seen who the person below was.

It was a military general riding on a black horse, the two were quite far apart, and Yue'er only vaguely saw that the man was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and a black battle robe.

Yue'er shouted to the city: "Whoever releases the cold arrow again will be the murderer, everyone remembers his identity and appearance, and then go to the military department to report it and receive a reward!" ”

When many archers in the city heard this, they threw down their bows and arrows one after another, but there were too many forbidden troops below, and most of the people behind them didn't really hear it.

The black horse general shouted: "Everyone hurry up and attack the city to save the emperor, aren't there all eunuchs around the emperor, how can it be a woman's turn to come out to speak, it must be fake!" As she spoke, she instructed the men to shoot arrows.

Yue'er swept away two feather arrows in a row, she stood here to delay time, hoping that Niu Shiguang could really bring people back within two hours.

Lin Chengyong poked his head out and shouted: "Lin Chengyong, the privy deputy envoy, is here to escort him, is this also a fake?" ”

The black horse general retreated to the back and commanded the forbidden army behind to attack the city, the forbidden army behind squeezed forward with a ladder, and the front retreated, making a mess.

A row of arrows rained down, Yue'er didn't dare to stand at the battlement anymore, and jumped down in a flash.

Xuan Ling's body trembled with anger.

"Who is that woman, who can command so many forbidden troops!"

"She is the Jiangnan envoy of Qihua Palace, that is, Concubine Yuan's subordinates!"

Lin Chengyong said: "No matter what, we must stick to it, and we must wait until Niu Shiguang brings people to come!" ”

Yue'er had never led soldiers, and she thought worriedly: "Even if Niu Shiguang brings people here, how will they control the situation?" ”

Donghua Gate, Zhao Huawen's body hung out, but after a commotion below, hearing the beat of the drum, he still launched an attack, the crown prince Zhaoheng and the prince of Dongping were huddled in a corner tower and looked out nervously, they did not personally command, they commanded the two accompanying military attachés.

Zhao Heng's face was very pale, his body trembled, just now Donghuamen lit a cannon, and the cannon exploded, blowing up the gunner who fired the cannon to pieces and splattering flesh and blood.

"Emperor, Uncle Emperor, should we withdraw first?"

Prince Dongping also had fear on his face, but he shook his head.

"Where is Your Highness going?"

"Find, find a place to hide."

"There are no eggs under the nest, and once the palace is broken, the first person they want to kill is the emperor, and the second is you, Your Highness!"

Zhao Heng snorted, but his body still shrank back unconsciously.

A rain of arrows fell, and the two hurriedly found a place to hide.

When Prince Dongping poked his head out again, he found that there were three ladders erected up, and the two military attaches were commanding the forbidden army in the city to launch a counterattack, he called the prince, and found that no one responded, and when he turned his head, there was no shadow of Zhaoheng around him, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet in anger.
