After the continuous bombardment of the first few rounds of trebuchets, the city wall of Xianglin City has become a ruined wall at this time, not only the city gate has been piled up with stones, the pavilions on the city gate have been dilapidated, and even the battlements and other buildings on the city wall have all become ruined.

Although the city gate below is still strong and has not collapsed, it is already an old man like a candle in the wind year, and it is crumbling.

At this time, the wooden pole arrows launched by the catapults under Liu Zheng's command flew to the city gate, making a loud bang.

The gate could no longer withstand the continuous shooting of wooden poles.

Finally, when the last wooden pole was shot at the city gate, the city gate of Xianglin City collapsed at this time, and with a bang, the city gate was broken.

Xu Huang opened his eyes and watched the city gate being broken open by Liu Zheng like this, with surprise on his face, and at the same time extremely surprised, the power of the trebuchets made by Liu Zheng was obviously beyond his imagination.

"It's broken, the gates are broken!"

Wen Ping, who was standing at the forefront, stared at the elephant forest city, looked at the fallen city gate, and exclaimed.

With Wen Ping's loud shout, even the soldiers under Liu Zheng's command behind him immediately exclaimed.

"Soldiers, the gates of the city are broken, follow me into the city, destroy the country of Linyi, and avenge our dead people and brothers!"

The city gate was broken, and the role of trebuchets was not great, so Liu Zheng did not continue to let those trebuchets fire at the city gate, but immediately began to organize manpower and equipment to attack the city.

Now the tower of Xianglin City has been full of desolation, and those who were in charge of guarding the city wall before, after the continuous trebuchet bombardment, have already been frightened and walked down the city tower, especially at the moment when the city gate was broken, those defenders already knew clearly that this Xianglin City could not be defended.

Some timid people, after seeing the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Han court, did not fight with Liu Zheng's people at all, but directly turned around and left, wanting to escape from other city gates.

King Fan Xiong sat paralyzed in his palace, he already knew the news that the city gate had been broken, and his previous high spirits and incomparable self-confidence were all gone at this time, although there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses in this city, and he might be able to rely on these 20,000 soldiers and horses to fight with Liu Zheng's army outside the city.

But the siege of the city for several days has exhausted the already small morale of the defenders in the city, and now there is only the idea of survival.

Some of the soldiers and horses gathered from the southern county town had already thought of escaping when they were about to fight, not to mention that at such a critical juncture when the city gate was broken, there were only half of the people who could really lead the soldiers and horses to fight with the Han Dynasty.

In this way, Fan Xiong is not half confident in being able to block Liu Zheng, especially when he heard his son Fan Yi talk about Liu Zheng's awesomeness.

Fan Xiong knew that there was no chance of victory in this battle.

"Father!"

Fan Yi hurriedly walked over from outside the palace.

"My son is coming."

Fan Xiong raised his head and glanced at Fan Yi, a pair of eyes had lost their due brilliance, Fan Xiong, who is now in his fifties, is an old man in his last years at this time, and he can't withstand the setbacks of the years.

Under the ups and downs, Fan Xiong no longer has the heart to struggle.

"Father, I heard from the generals that Xianglin City was breached by those men and horses of the Han court?"

"Well, if you think about those generals, you won't be able to resist for long."

As soon as Fan Yi came in, he immediately asked his father, and Fan Xiong also nodded, which was regarded as an answer to Fan Yi.

"Then what are you waiting for, father, let's run away quickly, those Han officials and soldiers are very powerful, especially Liu Zheng, even Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Zhu Fu died in his hands, if he catches it, we are afraid that there is no way to live!"

As soon as Fan Yi heard that the city gate had really been breached, his whole face immediately became ugly, originally he was expecting the tall walls of Xianglin City to be able to block Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, but now this situation is also a situation that he is extremely unwilling to see.

The city gate was breached, Fan Yi had no other thoughts, the only thought was to escape, he knew too well how powerful Liu Zheng was.

But when King Fan Xiong heard his son's words, he shook his head.

"No, it's late, if you escape in advance, maybe there is still a chance, if you want to escape now, you can't run anymore, my son, you immediately take these treasures in the palace and leave from the south city gate, I will let the deputy general cover you."

Fan Xiong was reluctant to leave, but he still hoped that his son would be able to leave. 、

But Fan Yi was unwilling to leave Fan Xiong.

"No, Father, let's go together!"

"Silly boy, don't be stupid, if we go together, we won't be able to leave at all, someone must stay to cover you."

If all the people in Xianglin City fled, Liu Zheng, who had entered the city, would naturally immediately lead his soldiers and horses to pursue.

In this way, the probability of being pursued by Liu Zheng's men and horses is too great, but if someone stays to cover, even if Liu Zheng will still send people to pursue in the end, it will delay time because someone is covering, so that those who escape have a greater chance of survival.

And Fan Xiong, who is already in his last years, is no longer willing to leave, he wants to stay by himself to cover his son's survival.

Although Fan Yi is a gentleman, he still has some filial piety to his father, and when he heard that his father was going to stay to cover him, he was immediately unwilling to leave.

"Nope! I'm not leaving, Father, I'm going to be with you! ”

Although Fan Yi's face was nervous, at this time, he still showed a look of death.

"Hurry up, if you don't go, it's too late, after you leave, go to the south to gather the rest of the people, maybe there is still a way to live, don't let our Fan family's incense be broken!"

"Nope! I'm not going! ”

"Adjutant General, I order you to take the prince away immediately, no, from today onwards he is not the prince of Linyi Kingdom, he is the new king, remember, go all the way to the south, go to Funan, even if it is a big man, it is impossible to do anything to you."

After Fan Xiong finished explaining, the deputy general immediately pulled the crown prince Fan Yi and left the palace.

Although the crown prince Fan Yi was unwilling, he was pulled by the deputy general at this time, and he still walked outside.

After Liu Zheng broke through Xianglin City here, it was different from what he expected, the soldiers and horses did not encounter too many obstacles, I thought that there were still a lot of soldiers and horses in the block, but when I entered the city, I didn't see any soldiers and horses, and I easily killed all the way to the imperial city in the center.
