At midnight, at the top of Xipingmen City in Luzhou, a small crescent moon hung diagonally in the sky.

Zhao Tong was wearing armor, his eyes were deep, and he was looking at the distance below the city with his hands behind his hands.

It was quiet and dark in the distance, with not much light and no sound. Even the windworms seemed to be sleeping soundly, and the water in the moat seemed to have stopped flowing.

At this time, Lianaza climbed up from the city, followed by a group of soldiers.

The soldiers' clothes are similar to those of the defenders at the top of the city. The difference is that their arms are tied with white linen broadbands. Even in the dark, the white color is vaguely discernible.

Zhao Tong did not look back, his eyes were still staring into the distance.

The defenders at the top of the city turned around when they heard the sound and saw many people coming up. They were all shocked.

Although the security of the West City is slightly worse than that of the North City, one more general is being added every day and night. At this moment, the general who was originally resting in the city tower heard the sound and came out.

He looked at Liyanaza and the soldiers behind her, and said blankly: "General Shangguan, this is..."

Liyanaza said calmly: "His Majesty's secret order is to increase the number of military orders in the West City tonight."

The general blurted out: "Why didn't I know?"

Liyana said: "I said it was a secret order, and I have the king's handwriting here."

The general was confused and looked at the soldiers behind her and said, "Where did these people come from? What does the white cloth on their arms mean?"

Liyana said: "General Wu can refer to the king's handwriting for the specific details of what the king ordered."

The general said: "Please bring it to me, General Shangguan, to see."

Liyanaza took out a piece of paper, folded it, and handed it over.

The general took it and was about to open it when he looked at the sky and shook his head: "It's too dark here. I'll go to the tower to watch."

Liyanaza nodded and said: "The king has a few more words to say, let's talk about them together."

A few breaths later, Liyanaza walked out of the tower, came to Zhao Tong, and whispered: "It's solved."

Zhao Tong nodded imperceptibly and said softly: "Here we come..."

After hearing this, Liyanaza looked into the distance, and with all her eyesight, she could see that far away, there seemed to be a large shadow moving slowly towards this side.

She said: "I know."

After speaking, he turned around, walked in front of the soldiers with white linen on their arms, and gave the order: "Your Majesty has ordered that Xiping Gate change its defenses. All soldiers should be replaced and go to the palace to guard."

The soldiers behind the battlements and those patrolling back and forth couldn't help but be startled when they heard this, wondering in their hearts what kind of defense they were using in the middle of the night?

Liyanaza said coldly: "The king ordered to change the defense. I don't know the reason. General Wu has already seen Wang Yu in the city tower. The commander-in-chief sent by the king is waiting at the bottom of the city. Please obey the order quickly.

Act."

Most of the soldiers guarding the city were a little hesitant, and only a few shouted "obey" with a little hesitation.

At this time, the soldiers with their arms wrapped in white linen quickly stepped forward, almost holding one by one, sandwiching the defenders.

Some soldiers who reacted quickly felt that something was wrong. Just when they wanted to shout, their mouths were covered, and then a knife was inserted into their chests.

In just a moment, all the soldiers on the Xipingmen Urn City were eliminated and replaced by Mingjiao believers wrapped in white cloth.

However, after all, there were more soldiers on the city, so it was inevitable that some noise would spread. In the distance, someone on the Shuiximen Urn City shouted: "What's going on?"

Lianaza responded: "It's okay, someone is seriously ill and needs to be carried down to the city."

There was no more movement over there. Lianaza walked to the city wall, looked into the distance, and said: "How long will it take?"

Zhao Tong said: "After a few dozen breaths, ordinary soldiers will notice the anomaly ahead. The Song Army should launch a charge. Just act according to the situation. How is Yao Meng prepared down there?"

Liyana said: "The soldiers in the city gate and the wall of the urn city have been dealt with, and there are no mistakes."

Zhao Tong nodded, said "Okay" and said no more.

After a while, suddenly over there on the waterside urn city, someone shouted: "Be alert, be alert, something is wrong ahead."

Xipingmen and Shuiximen are not close together. If you shout during the day, you may not be able to hear it here. But at this moment, the night is deep and everything is silent. Even the slightest sound will be amplified loudly.

Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and saw that the Song army in the distance no longer moved cautiously, and the cavalry in front began to accelerate, heading straight for the moat in front of Xiping Gate.

There is a moat around Luzhou City. Not all cities have moats. Generally, only cities with abundant water sources around them will dig moats. Otherwise, there will be no running water. If you dig a moat, it will be in vain. You can't draw water and it will only be filled by rainwater.

It didn't take long before I did it again.

The cavalry of the Song Army were rushing forward desperately. There was more than one gate in the West City. Even if Xiping Gate had an internal response, Shuixi Gate did not. If the defenders of Shuixi Gate discovered it, they would not pretend not to see it.

At this time, there was a lot of noise above Shuixi Gate. Although the guards on the city could not really see the specific scene below the city, the rumbling sound of horse hooves could not be faked. It was just that for a while, they could not tell whether they were coming towards Shuixi Gate or Xiping Gate.

.

However, there is a moat below the city, and the defenders of Shuiximen are not that scared. The front of the moat is already within the range of bows and arrows. The leader of Shuiximen commanded the soldiers to start shooting arrows under the city. Rounds of arrows rained down, and the whistling sound continued, but

The sky was too dark, and I don’t know if Song Jun was hit.

Just when Shuiximen was in a hurry, the suspension bridge of the Xipingmen moat was lowered with a bang, and then a rude voice was heard from the other side of Shuiximen: "I, Yao Pingzhong, are watching, don't hurt me!"
p>

The soldiers at Shuiximen were puzzled. They didn't even know Yao Pingzhong, but someone who reacted quickly heard something wrong with the voice over there and immediately shouted: "It seems that a suspension bridge has been opened at Xipingmen!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence above Shuiximen City, and then there was a roar like a boiling pot. The general on Shuiximen City was also stunned. He walked a few steps quickly and leaned on the wall to look under the Xiping Gate.<

/p>

Although there is only a pale crescent moon in the sky, and the real thing cannot be seen, the large shadows moving under the Xiping Gate in the distance can be seen. The general of Shuixi Gate couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This is after crossing the moat and starting to move into the city.

Have you entered?

There were also two generals on Shuiximen City. One of them said in a panic: "No, is this the Xiping Gate rebellion?"

Another general said: "It seems that all the suspension bridge gates have been opened, and the Song army has entered the city!"

"Send someone quickly to deliver a message to the Prime Minister and Manager Qiu. I hope it's not too late!"

"All the soldiers on the city listened to the order and went down to the city to block all the passages into the Wengcheng. We can't let the Song soldiers come to seize the west gate of the water!"

The general of Shuiximen is not stupid. It is absolutely impossible for the tens of thousands of Song troops to enter the city through one gate. Shuiximen is the closest to Xipingmen, so they will definitely come to fight for it next.

But even if they thought about it, it was of no use. After the Song army entered Xiping Gate, they followed the outer city wall directly towards Shuixi Gate.

At this time, the military camps stationed in the city did not react at all. There were soldiers patrolling the streets in Luzhou City. Suddenly, they saw a large group of cavalry running wildly. They had no idea what was going on. Before they could ask, they were stabbed to death with swords and spears.

.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the Shuixi Gate to be breached. A large number of Song troops from outside the city entered along the Shuixi Gate. The entire west city of Luzhou was declared lost. Then the Song army was divided into three groups, one to attack the military camp in the city and the other to seize the north.

City Gate, the other branch went towards Wang Qing's palace.

Zhao Tong was still on top of the Xipingmen Urn City at this moment. Huang Gu had already rushed over and lowered his body and said, "The prince is frightened."

Zhao Tong glanced at him and said, "Where is the Zong Supervisor Army?"

Huang Gu said: "The Zongjian army is divided into three groups. He entered the city through Shuixi Gate and should be heading towards Wang Qing's palace at this moment."

Zhao Tong said: "If Wang Qing can be captured and killed, the bandits in the city will be defeated without a fight, but this will not be easy."

Huang Gu wondered: "How can Wang Qing escape under the huge army?"

Zhao Tong said: "Don't forget Li Zhu. Although his personal martial arts can't change the situation of the war, it may not be impossible to save Wang Qing. Wang Qing still has five states outside. Once he escapes from Luzhou, I'm afraid

It’s going to take a lot of effort.”

Huang Gu said: "What the prince means is..."

Zhao Tong said: "Since Zongze is going to the palace, he naturally wants to help. These people behind me are all disciples of the Ming Cult. You and Yao Pingzhong should protect you and don't be misunderstood and killed."

Yao Pingzhong said from the side: "Your Majesty, if it is convenient, I will send these people to Tiefo Temple in a while. There is no need for them to contribute anymore."

Zhao Tong nodded and said: "That's fine. The palace is not far from Tiefo Temple. Just send it over there to General Shangguan."

Liyanaza had already gone to the Iron Buddha Temple first. Although Zhao Tong didn't know what her intention was, he didn't stop her.

After leading the people down to the top of the city, there were loud shouts of killing in front of them, and fires were everywhere. It became easy to see in the originally dark city.

Zhao Tong couldn't help but frowned when he saw the fire. Huang Gu said from the side: "Many of the fires were set by the rebel army. Before setting off, the Zong Supervisor Army repeatedly said that they were not allowed to enter people's houses and harass them. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded."

Zhao Tong was silent for a few moments and then said: "Did you see with your own eyes that the rebels set the fire?"

Huang Gujue realized that Zhao Tong's tone was unkind, so he bit the bullet and said: "I did see several places where the rebels threw torches around, setting trees on fire, and... there were also people's houses."

Zhao Tong sneered, said nothing, urged the yellow horse, and galloped towards Wang Qing's palace in the north of the city.

In front of Wang Qing's palace, a fighting had just ended. Broken guns and broken blades were all over the ground, corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing like a stream.

The Song army had surrounded the entire palace and was about to rush in when Zhao Tong arrived.

Zongze dismounted hurriedly, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates are wearing armor and cannot perform the courtesy properly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Tong had already returned to his true self and said with a smile: "What crime? What did the Zong Supervisory Army say? Taking down the Luzhou City Zong Supervisor Army was the first achievement."

Zongze shook his head and said: "Of course my subordinates are guilty. The prince went deep into the wolf's den, but his subordinates were free outside the city. Isn't it a big crime? What's more, what's the credit for taking down Luzhou City? It's not all about the prince's ingenuity, so that he can cooperate inside and outside.

If you achieve great success in one fell swoop, how can your subordinates dare to take the credit for themselves?"

Zhao Tong said: "Okay, okay, let's just talk about these things in the officialdom of the Zong Supervisor Army. What we should do now is to capture Wang Qing."
