After a long time of attacking, Zhao Yu seemed a little impatient, a small noon gate was wasted for more than an hour and not taken, which was an unacceptable fact for Zhao Yu.

After all, it is a rebellion, and if it continues like this, it will be a very serious blow to morale.

When he looked back, the army of house slaves behind him was already showing fatigue.

They are not professional soldiers, at the beginning, because they have the silver woman as the driving force, they can go up with enthusiasm to work hard, but when they work hard for a while and find that they have no way to take the city gate building, these people will inevitably be relieved and unable to lift up the slightest spirit.

Zhao Yu looked back at Zhao Sui and gritted his teeth: "Zhao Sui, what you said at the beginning would definitely be able to win the palace, but look at it, this is the guarantee you made?" If we can't take off Zhao Ningbing's head before the Wangcheng Guards return to defense, then you and I will both die. ”

Zhao Sui pursed his lips, facing the angry Zhao Yu, there was no trace of emotional fluctuations, just said lightly: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, now, it's just just the beginning, we still have enough time." ”

Zhao Yu laughed and pointed to his son Zhao Chun, who had retired from an injury: "Zhao Sui, if you are not blind, just open your eyes and see what Chun'er and my men have been injured, even if there is enough time, there is still a fart, and you can't take the city gate?" ”

Zhao Sui sighed: "Uncle Huang, it's not as exaggerated as you said, we only used 2,000 people to consume all the arrows to defend the city, which will be of great help to our next actions." ”

Zhao Yu was furious: "That's my two thousand people, so far, I don't see a single person under you move, Zhao Sui, what tricks are you playing?" Don't be a bad idea of catching cicadas and yellow finches behind the praying mantis, let me tell you, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, do you think it will be good for you to drain my strength? ”

Zhao Sui shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Huang, I wanted to talk about it from just now." ”

"What do you want to say!"

Zhao Sui looked at the city: "Now, it's only time for me to perform." ”

Zhao Yu laughed weirdly: "Yes, I'll see if it's the king, what method do you use to gnaw down this city." ”

Zhao Sui didn't pay attention to Zhao Yu's ridicule, but looked at the sky and muttered to himself: "It's this time, it's almost coming." ”

Zhao Yu, who heard this, wondered for a while: "What's coming?" ”

Before Zhao Sui could speak, he heard a noise of gongs and drums behind him, followed by a large group of people appeared.

The continuous shouts almost scared Zhao Yu out of his horse: "There is an ambush!! ”

Zhao Sui waved his hand and smiled: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, this is our own people." ”

As he spoke, he saw a team of about 2,000 people rushing towards more than a dozen carts, and these people were all wearing singing costumes.

When Zhao Yu saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

In fact, let alone Zhao Yu, even the Eight Sages King at the head of the city were stunned, and said in his heart that he was so dignified that he still called the singer? Moreover, where did you find so many troupes?

Zhao Sui turned over and dismounted, looked up at Zhao Yu and smiled: "Uncle Huang, these are all strange people and strange people that the little nephew found in Jizhou, if they didn't escort the siege machine to Daxing City, do you think I would decide to attack Zhao Ningbing?" ”

As Zhao Sui's words fell, there was a loud sound of the curtain being opened, followed by the siege vehicle and the ladder under the curtain.

Zhao Yuyi was so happy.

On the city wall, the Eight Sages King secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly called someone to come over, and asked people to inform the empress to transfer as soon as possible, and then ordered everyone in the city to prepare for a white-knuckle battle, and even sent more people to block the noon gate.

"Uncle Huang, you are tired for an hour, next, let's watch the little nephew perform." Zhao Sui said with a smile.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the two thousand dead soldiers disguised as a play roared loudly, hugging the ladders and siege engines and rushing forward, looking like they were fighting for their lives.

At this time, the defenders of the city had run out of arrows, and could only barely stop the enemy's advance with sandalwood and rolling stones.

And the empress, who received the news of the retreat of the Eight Sages King, not only did not leave, but went directly to the city wall.

This simply did not scare the Eight Sages King to death, and he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, why haven't you left yet." ”

The empress said with a gloomy face: "Go? How do I go? If the city wall is broken, no matter where I go, I will not escape death, today, I will stand on the head of this city, let me Sui Yang soldiers see, I live and die with them. ”

The Eight Sages King said bluntly in his heart, how could he do such a thing.

Isn't this nonsense, if something happens to you, even if there is a great chance to turn the situation around, it will be useless and in vain.

On the contrary, Wang Xiaolai, who followed the empress out, was unexpectedly quiet, he looked at the empress, and knew in his heart that the empress was not that impulsive person, if she was not sure, the empress should not choose to do this, could it be that the empress had something to do to put Zhao Sui to death?

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolai stood up and said to the Eight Sages: "Eighth Prince, I think, Your Majesty may have any tricks that have not been used, you don't have to worry." ”

The Eight Sages King was also stunned when he heard this, and said yes in his heart? But when he looked at the empress, the latter spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "My backhand is only the Wangcheng Guards, only when they arrive, I will have a chance to turn the tables, and there is no other way but to defend it." ”

When the words fell, the Eight Sages King was stunned.

Wang Xiaolai was also stupid and had nothing to say.

On the contrary, it was Liu Maolin, but he unexpectedly insisted, the old man, who was already in his old age, picked up the sword on the head of the city, and said: "Your Majesty is right, now we have to wait for the Wangcheng guards to arrive, otherwise, there is no other choice." ”

"No, there are." Wang Xiaolai suddenly shouted.

When he spoke, several people looked at him.

The empress also asked curiously: "Little Laizi, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense, generally speaking, the curfew officers and soldiers who patrol the night every night in Daxing City are about two thousand, if someone can notify them and let them come to support as soon as possible, and come in from the outside, although not to mention leveling the situation, but at least it can delay Zhao Sui's footsteps." Also, there are at least 500 yamen in the city, which is also a force, as long as it is used, not to mention more, at least it can be won for an hour, and by that time, it will be about the same. ”

When the words fell, the expressions of the Empress Eight Sages and Liu Maolin were as if they were dead ashes, and they said one by one: "Impossible." ”

Wang Xiaolai was still unconvinced: "How is it impossible? The rebels are all composed of family members, the military spirit is not as strong as imagined, our stubborn resistance before, so that their military morale is greatly shaken, if at this time, the curfew of the forbidden army and the yacha can suddenly kill, the divine soldiers descend from the sky, these people, will be panicked, by that time, the situation has been tilted towards our side, and Your Majesty, have you forgotten, your internal guard, until now has not shown up. ”

Seeing that Wang Xiaosheng was so excited, the empress couldn't even bear to hit him.

Liu Maolin sighed and said: "Lord Wang, you must know that if the forbidden army patrolling the night can come, they will come a long time ago, Zhao Sui is not an ordinary person, he is willing to turn his face, he must have been completely prepared, if nothing else, those forbidden troops, I am afraid that they would have died a long time ago, in addition, you see, when Zhao Sui attacked, he had arranged no less than 2,000 people to defend the rear, just to avoid the sudden appearance of the internal guards, even if someone attacked again, they could not defeat Zhao Sui." ”

Wang Xiaolai was directly stupid: "This, this is equivalent to saying, we only have the Wangcheng Guards as a reinforcement?" ”

The empress nodded: "Although it is very demoralizing, but this is the case right now." ”

When Wang Xiaolai was just depressed and had nothing to love, he suddenly thought of something, and his heart said that it was wrong.

What's wrong? He understands the empress, if the empress took the initiative to release the two thousand forbidden troops to go out to death and let the internal guards go out to ob outside after knowing Zhao Sui's plan, it would obviously be mentally retarded, which would not be in line with the empress's style of doing things at all.

Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that there is only one possibility, that is, the two thousand forbidden troops are the bait released by the empress, a bait to catch Zhao Sui.

Looking at it this way, the empress's expression at this time is probably pretended, in order to act for others, but for whom?

The Eight Wise Kings? Liu Maolin? Or is it a calendar day? Or is it yourself?

For a while, Wang Xiaolai fell into a deep entanglement.
