imperial study room

"Goldman Sachs, what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, the news just came back that the rebels have withdrawn."

Eunuch Gao's heart was pounding too. The sound of war drums and horns could be faintly heard in the palace!

"What a rebellious son!"

The emperor couldn't help but smash another cup. This was the twentieth time he had smashed.

Eunuch Gao quickly called people in to clean up the situation, but he didn't know how to persuade the emperor.

Isn't that a rebellious son? They have already started a rebellion, what else can he say?

"Your Majesty, calm down and be careful of your dragon body!"

Eunuch Gao is really worried, but he can't just sit there and watch the furious emperor!

"Gao Sheng, I must personally beat this rebellious son to death!"

The emperor said fiercely, gritting his teeth.

How to respond to this? Eunuch Gao's face almost turned bitter, and he was in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, calm down first. When the time comes, it's up to you to decide how to deal with it, right?"

He really wanted to say that these unfilial descendants should have been beaten to death long ago.

"Did you say that the ninth brother is back?"

In response to the emperor's question, Eunuch Gao pinched his thigh hard.

How would he know? He is not a god who can tell fortunes. He can only pinch his own thigh.

Ouch, it hurts him so much!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Regent will definitely come back."

My Majesty, please ask some questions that can be answered by generalists!

"I also believe that my ninth brother will definitely come back!"

The emperor's words made Eunuch Gao roll his eyes. You know what else you are asking?

"Goldman, you said there won't be any more fighting tonight?"

Eunuch Gao: Please stop asking, I don’t want to talk about it!

How does he know!

"Your Majesty, I think it's getting late. The soldiers must be tired after fighting all day."

I don’t know whether they will continue to fight or not. I only know that the soldiers must be exhausted after fighting for a whole day. As for whether they will fight or not, you can judge for yourself!

"Goldman, how long do you think they can hold out?"

The emperor's questions were harder to answer one after another, and Eunuch Gao was almost on the verge of collapse.

"Your Majesty, they will definitely hold out until the Regent returns!"

Eunuch Gao gave the emperor a reassurance that as long as the regent returned, everything would be resolved.

"You are right. I believe in them, and I believe in my ninth brother even more. He will definitely come back in time!"

Eunuch Gao breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have so many questions anymore.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

General Xiao had been standing on the city wall for a whole day, and there was obvious fatigue on his old face.

"General Xiao, please go and rest for a while. Let me and the others guard here first!"

"Yes, General Xiao, you should take a rest."

The loyal and brave general Niu Meng and the Dingyuan general Cao Gang looked at him with some concern.

General Xiao was about to say that he was fine when he was interrupted by another voice.

"Brother Xiao, let's go and rest for a while and leave this place to them first."

Duke Sui came over upon hearing the noise and tried to drag the man away.

"Hey, let go!"

General Xiao shook his arms, but several people pushed him away.

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

General Xiao could not stand up to these people and had to compromise.

Before leaving, he felt a little worried and gave some careful instructions, then he followed Duke Sui down the city wall.

On the official road hundreds of miles away from the capital, several figures rode past at full speed.

At the same time, the Xuanming Army’s barracks had already assembled and were marching towards the capital.

The fifth watch is when people are most likely to feel sleepy.

Except for the few lights on the city walls, the entire capital was shrouded in darkness.

The moon in the sky had hidden itself in the clouds at some point, and everything was pitch black, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.

At some point, tens of thousands of people had already gathered at the bottom of the city wall. They were carrying ladders and had already reached the foot of the city wall.

They carefully placed the ladder against the city wall, trying not to make any noise.

They climbed up slowly one after another.

An imperial guard on the city wall accidentally heard a creaking sound and couldn't help but pick up a torch and shine it downwards.

Seeing the enemy army only a few steps away, he was so scared that he dropped the torch in his hand. The densely packed heads below scared him a lot.

"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"

He immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs, but this made it difficult for the people who were still lying on the ladder to react.

"Quick, defend!"

"Throw the torch!"

The two generals on duty responded quickly, and torches filled the sky, falling from the city walls like a meteor shower.

The people below the city wall were completely stunned, and some were even knocked unconscious.

"Fire arrows!"

Wow! Looking at the densely packed heads below, everyone got a little excited.

At such a close distance, can you still run?

"Brothers, they overturned the ladder!"

As soon as Niu Meng opened his voice, the enemy soldiers still on the ladder began to tremble with fear. If they fell down, they would be crippled if not dead!

Before they could figure out what was going on, all the ladders detached from the city wall in an instant, and all the people and ladders fell backwards.

Niu Meng looked at the scene in front of him and his heart was filled with joy!

Aren't these people just rushing to get killed?

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Below the city wall, the enemy army, seeing that they were in a dangerous situation, ran back in fear.

"Brothers, fuck him! He's here and he wants to run away? No way!"

After a while, everything returned to its previous calm, as if what had just happened was just a dream.

If it weren't for the corpses scattered all over the ground under the city wall, no one would have believed what had just happened.

Yan Huaian felt a little angry when he saw the thousands of people who had fled back in a panic.

What a bunch of rubbish!

"Grandfather, if we fail to take the city, everything will be over when Uncle Nine comes back!"

Inside the tent, Si Ziyu had a worried look on his face.

Yan Song knew it very well, and he took out all the 100,000 troops he had hidden away.

Add to that the 200,000 troops secretly dispatched by Beirong, a total of 300,000 troops, and they were helpless against the 20,000 imperial guards.

"Your Highness the Third Prince, Old Master Yan, Your Highness the Crown Prince has given me three days to defeat the city gate. If you still cannot break through the city gate within three days, I will be powerless to help you!"

A big man with a full beard spoke up.

"General Hu Mu, we will definitely take over the capital tomorrow!"

Si Ziyu's eyes were filled with madness, he knew that success or failure would depend on tomorrow's battle.

If the Beirong army withdrew, he would never have another chance.

"Well, in that case, I wish His Majesty the Third Prince a successful start tomorrow!"

Hu Mu burst into laughter. This way he could go back and explain to the Crown Prince!

As soon as the sky brightened, Si Ziyu could no longer wait and gathered all the people.

"Soldiers, follow me today and charge into the city. Anyone who breaks through the city gate will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"

"Whoever kills the enemy general will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"

"You can fight for all the wealth and glory on your own!"

These words did play a significant role. There will always be brave men when there is a big reward!

Si Ziyu personally led the army to the city wall.
