Mu Qingyuan pointed to the snow. Xiang Kejian didn't care about it at the beginning of the night. Now he was pointed out. He looked closely and found that there were many messy footprints in the snow. Although it was covered with snow, the outline of the footprints could still be distinguished. The footprints began to spread from the exit of the grain warehouse to the end of the street.

"this?"

Mu Qingyuan signaled to silence. He took the lead in carefully to the door of the grain warehouse. Xiang Kejian remembered his responsibilities and immediately followed, while holding his hand tightly on the sword at his waist. When the two looked at the door of the grain warehouse, they found that they were lying in the snow, stepped forward and pushed away the snow, and the Liang Chao official uniform on their bodies suddenly came into their eyes.

"It's the guard of the grain warehouse!" Mu Qingyuan immediately realized that something was wrong. He ran into the grain warehouse and saw that twenty grain trucks were still parked quietly in the square. He jumped onto the grain truck and lifted the roof of the grain truck, but saw that it was empty inside. Xiang Kejian did the same thing as what Mu Qingyuan saw.

"What's going on? I obviously received a grain team outside the city, why is the food gone?" Xiang Kejian realized that he had dereliction of duty, but he still couldn't figure out the cause and effect.

"If the grain truck is filled with grain, how can it be transferred out in such a short time? Even if it is transferred, it is impossible not to have a grain of rice left!"

"Sir, what do you mean..."

"The food truck is not filled with food at all!"

"how?"

"Go back to the yamen immediately and prepare for quick horses. You go and notify all the yamen runners and ask them to prepare their weapons immediately to go to the south gate. I want to go to the military camp!" Mu Qingyuan ran towards the yamen while instructing Xiang Kejian.

Mu Qingyuan, who had just run to the yamen, had no time to take a breath. Taking advantage of Xiang Kejian's trip to the stable, he picked up the bell and was about to blew it, but he heard a loud noise. Before he could recover his numb ears, he saw a fire rising to the sky in the north of the city.

The military camp was attacked! For this moment, Mu Qingyuan's mind was blank, as if he was in a dream. He never expected that someone would launch an attack on Hanzhou on this New Year's Eve night! But who would it be? The Tang people? Combined with the situation of the grain truck, this association is very reasonable. It must be that the Tang people used the grain truck to sneak into the city and wait for an opportunity to attack the military camp!

"Sir!" Xiang Kejian obviously knew that the situation was urgent, so he ran over with his horse, waiting for the order.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Although Mu Qingyuan had imagined various possible situations in his mind in order to start a war with Tang, he did not expect the accident tonight. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and used all his strength to calm himself down. "Tang Tang sneaked into the military camp. The capacity of the grain truck is limited after all, as long as the city gate is not lost, we can still control the scene! Do what he said before!"

"My subordinates must ensure the safety of the adults!"

"What you want to ensure the safety of the people of Hanzhou!"

However, the unfortunate reality was that Mu Qingyuan expected to be optimistic. When the first wine jar exploded, the Tang army, who had already ambushed outside the city, rushed through the north city gate. When the wine jar exploded one after another, the right guard fell into panic for a while. Yan Yuxin, who never left his armor, gave three military orders to stabilize the entire army: the Right Army went out of the camp to go to the direction of the city gate; the Left Army immediately put out the fire in the barracks; Yan Yuxin personally led the central army out of the barracks to fight against Tang Xizuo.

With the light of fire, the black figures that were originally hidden in the night began to reveal their true appearance: the black veil covered the entire head, revealing only the eyes of the falcon; the whole body was covered with black armor, reflecting a cold and cold light in the snow. As the right guard appeared, everyone consciously pulled out weapons similar to nunchakus from between their legs. The surface of each section was densely covered with spikes, and each spike head was faintly flashing with a blue and charming light.

"No matter how you sneaked into the city, since you are here, don't think about going back alive!" Yan Yuxin rushed out with a horse's belly, pulled out the serrated nail-toothed spear on his back. The spear was six feet long and smooth. There were nineteen toothed nails on the head of the spear, arched at the extremely sharp tip of the spear, and the entire serrated nail-toothed spear emitted a silver-gray cold light.

Two black figures jumped from left and right into the air, and at the same time threw out the wolf-toothed three-numbschalk. To force Yan Yuxin to fall off the horse, he inserted his spear into the snow and used the force to escape the enemy's attack. After the three-numbschalk were recycled, they fell back to the horse's back. At the same time, when the spear head was pulled out, they threw the soil on the face of the man on the left. When the man on the left fell to the ground, the tip of the spear had been inserted into the throat of the man on the right.

"Kill!" Under the leadership of the commander, the central cavalry fought fiercely with the black figures with the help of the horse. The cavalry of the right guard pierced the enemy's chest, and they themselves were hit by the three nunchakus and fell off the horse. For a moment, the two sides fought hard, and each suffered casualties.

After Yan Yuxin overthrew several enemies in a row, he found that one of the enemies was obviously the leader. His whole body was dressed like other black figures, but there were obviously black patterns on his right eye, and there were also many right guards who died under him. Yan Yuxin was trying to attack the man, but unexpectedly, a three-numbak was nailed firmly to the horse's hooves. The wolf teeth on the stick immediately poked several blood holes on the horse's hooves. The mount was in pain and neighed to the sky.

Yan Yuxin was about to jump off the horse, and his opponent had already stepped on the horse's head. The three nunchakus roared towards him, leaning against several backflips to avoid the attack, but when he was about to land, he was kicked hard in the chest. Although he was protected by the Red Cloud Armor, he still stepped back several steps and stood firm with the serrated nail-toothed spear. Yan Yuxin clearly saw the smile at the corner of the man's eyes, distorting the black mark.

The Right Army heading to the North City Gate was led by Deputy Chief Jing Yue, with a total of 2,000 people. A fire broke out in the military camp and there were not many horses available. Jing Yue and more than a dozen generals rode their horses, while the rest were running. The North City Gate was not far from the military camp. In normal times, it was more than enough to ride a horse and gallop for one stick of incense. Before the incense was reached tonight, Jing Yue had already seen the fire at the city gate, and at the same time, he also saw the Xia Tang army wearing brown combat uniforms.

The city gate was lost! At this moment, there was only a tough battle. With Jing Yue's order, the entire Right Army was involved in the battle for the city gate. He knew that the control of the city gate must be regained, otherwise the Tang army would continue to pour into the city. The north city gate was empty and there were no other buildings, which was very conducive to the close-knit fight. At the beginning, the two armies were still comparable, but as more and more Tang troops poured into the city, the Right Army could only fight and retreat.

Seeing that the city gate was getting farther and farther away, the hope of regaining control of the city gate was getting slim. Jing Yue was very impatient. He wanted to counterattack several times but was still defeated. The robes around him were constantly falling down. He knew that continuing to delay was not a solution. He had to quickly get rid of the entanglement and convey the news of the city gate being out of control to the commander so that he could prepare.

"Retreat!" Jing Yue shouted, taking the remaining troops to return to the military camp. There was only one road leading to the military camp in the north gate, and halfway through there was a corner built due to the city wall. At this corner, an unknown black figure flashed out from the darkness. They wrapped their heads with veils, leaving all the wolf teeth three-numbschalk. They raided the Right Army from behind, and caught Jing Yue and the others off guard. After Jing Yue saw clearly that the enemy who killed them were intercepted, he immediately realized that he had fallen into a situation of being surrounded.

"Don't think about returning to the military camp, just leave your life here!" The Tang army led by the lower Tang army, wearing blood-red armor, two wolf heads with bloody mouths were placed on both sides of their shoulders, with fierce eyes, and shouted provocatively, "Kill them all!"

The Lower Tang army, several times the Right Army, surrounded the Right Army in the corner area and began to practice target shooting. Spears, machetes, and feather arrows were greeted one after another. There were fewer and fewer people in the Right Army who could fight. Jing Yue's shoulders, thighs and arms were all hung on color. He knew that it was impossible to escape without any reason, but he had to pass the news out of no matter what. So he took advantage of the chaos to catch a soldier, took off his armor from a lower Tang soldier and handed it to the soldier, and said, "Switch it now! I will take someone to rush towards a hole later. You can find an opportunity to sneak out and tell the commander that the lower Tang army entered the city!" The soldier nodded with tears in his eyes, and immediately changed into the lower Tang army's armor.

"Follow me and rush!" Jing Yue looked at the fewer people in the encirclement and began to break through violently. All the Right Army soldiers did not care about life and death, and filled a crack with their bodies. Jing Yue first pushed the soldiers out, and then the remaining Right Army soldiers also squeezed out of the crack. Everyone was injured but had to run towards the military camp. But everyone didn't run a few steps, and three nunchakes wrapped around their necks like ropes, and then they watched as they were dragged into the enemy's military formation and were instantly dismantled.

Jing Yue had countless wounds all over his body. He knew he was unfortunate, and his only hope was on the soldier. He fell to the ground with a slump. His legs were bleeding. When he looked back, he found that there were no robes fighting side by side. The arrogant leader of the Tang army walked to Jing Yue. He wanted to use the curled knife in his hand to slash at the man, but was easily kicked away by the man. Jing Yue used all his strength to stand up and retreat, facing the shrunk Tang army in front of him with bare hands.

"You are smart, but you're just smart!" The man in the lead pulled the soldier who was wearing a dress and saw him landing on the man's hand. Jing Yue's pupils gathered and contracted, and his whole body trembled.

"You killed him, what a pity that he is young!" The leader cut open the soldier's throat with his blade, and blood splattered out, making the red armor on the man's body extremely bloody!

"Ah!" Jing Yue raised his fist and rushed towards the man. The man waved his head to avoid the fist full of anger, and turned to clamp Jing Yue's throat with his palm like a thorn and slowly raised him up, allowing Jing Yue's face to be redder and his hands and feet to struggle. With a click, Jing Yue finally stopped moving and opened his blood-red eyes. The man in the lead shook Jing Yue's body away and turned to the army behind him and said, "We want to take revenge on Liang Chao!"

"revenge!"

Mu Qingyuan did not see the cruel battle at the North City Gate; he did not hear the revenge roar of the Tang army. At this moment, he was busy evacuating the people in the city. The people who were staying up all the time had no idea what had happened. When the explosion occurred, fire and shouts of killing came from the direction of the military camp, and people were surprised to realize that they were in danger. Mu Qingyuan sent out to the South City Gate to investigate the situation and never came back. He had to ask Xiang Kejian and the few remaining yamen runners around him to gather the people and retreat to the south of the city.

If the military camp is lost, then the Tang army will soon occupy the city of Hanzhou. There is a wine shop in the south gate. The surface is a wine shop but in fact it is a secret passage to leave the city. As a strategic city, Hanzhou City, as early as the beginning of its construction, had already built a secret passage to the outside of the city, so that after the city was captured, people in the city could communicate through the secret passage. After taking office in Hanzhou, Mu Qingyuan also learned about the existence of this secret passage, which was the intention of sending people to explore the south of the city.
