A moment later, a carrier pigeon with its wings painted red flew out of Cambo's barracks and headed straight away.

On the wall of the royal city, Xu Su wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, secretly said in his heart that it was dangerous, turned his head to look at the city defense army in a trance, and couldn't help but be nameless. It's no wonder that he has a fire in his heart, if it hadn't been for the two hundred foot soldiers of the Wei army who arrived in time just now, this western city wall would have been lost.

Xu Su called a general and ordered him to send an order to leave only one team of palace guards as a reserve, and all the rest went to the city wall, Xu Su now has no confidence in the city defense army.

Around the battle for the west city gate, the battle lasted until the evening, in the process, Sima Lang personally went up to the city wall several times to check the battle situation, Sima Lang found that although the battle was fierce, but the attack enthusiasm of the army of Tukun was obviously not high, Sima Lang was happy, and the inexplicable bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

It was already dark, and Tuo Kun under Shuai frowned and ordered: "Collect the troops!" ”

He then gave an order to one of his generals: "Order the rear battalion and the right battalion to open a defensive line in the rear!" ”

Tuo Kun had already learned that the Wei cavalry would rush to the battlefield, although according to the time, the Wei cavalry should not feel it until the early morning at the earliest, but Tuo Kun did not dare to be careless about the Wei army at all.

With the peculiar sound of the horn, Tukun's army retreated like a tide, and at this moment, Kangbo's cronies found Tuokun.

When Tuokun saw Polei, he couldn't help frowning, and asked in an unkind tone, "Polei, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Poley handed a letter to Tuokun and said proudly: "This is His Highness's order. Please carry it out, the Great General! ”

Tuokun glanced at Poley coldly, after reading the order. Tuo Kun asked puzzledly, "Your Highness has asked us to prepare for an attack now?" What does this mean? ”

Po Lei sneered: "Isn't His Highness's order very clear? Just do it! ”

After speaking, he turned his horse's head and flicked his whip and left.

"General. What exactly does Your Highness mean? Bardo asked.

Tuo Kun shook his head and ordered: "Order the front and the Chinese army to be ready to attack at any time!" ”

"Yes!" Bado answered and beat the horse down.

Xu Su leaned against the edge of the battlement, eating dry food and drinking water, his tense nerves relaxed a little at the moment, many soldiers were carrying corpses and wounded soldiers, and the air was filled with heavy gunpowder smoke and bloody gas.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering shouting sound from the direction of Beicheng, and Xu Su couldn't help but be startled. The soldiers also looked blankly in the direction of the north city gate.

Xu Su subconsciously felt that something bad might have happened, and hurriedly called a scout and ordered him to go out to check immediately, and then ordered another scout to rush to the palace to check the situation.

The red Kong Ming lantern on the north city gate on behalf of the loss lit up and rose into the air, Xu Su was taken aback, and at this moment, there was also an earth-shattering shouting sound at the south city gate, and then, the red Kong Ming lantern also rose into the air.

"What's going on?" Xu Su frowned. It's a bit of a mess.

"Tell the teams to prepare for battle!"

Xu Su hurriedly ordered, and then ordered the two captains to rush to the south and north gates to collect the remnants, and ordered the team of palace guards who were waiting in the city to return to the palace immediately!

At the same time, Sima Lang sent orders to the south and the two city gates to resist the enemy as much as possible. At the same time, the army at the west gate and the palace guards in the city as reserves were ordered to return to the palace.

The Imperial Guards closed the four gates of the palace and climbed the city walls to wait for them.

King Kangju hurried to the main hall and saw Sima Lang. He asked urgently, "Master Sima, what's the matter?" ”

Sima Lang frowned and clenched his fists and said, "King Kangju." The north and south gates have been lost!

"What?!" Kang Wenrui on the side was shocked.

King Kangju was silent for a moment and asked, "Mr. Sima." What do you want us to do? ”

Sima Lang said in a deep voice: "What we can do now is to hold on to the palace!" I hope that General Shoucheng's cavalry will arrive sooner! ”

Xu Su received Sima Lang's order, and immediately led all the people on the west gate to the palace, and encountered the Kang Bo army in the city, after a fierce battle, Xu Su broke through the obstacles, and led the remaining less than 5,000 people into the palace.

Tens of thousands of rebels then surrounded the palace, and the subsequent rebels did not continue to converge outside the palace.

Xu Su, who was covered in blood, hurried to the main hall and said with a look of shame: "The last general is incompetent!" ”

King Kangju helped Xu Zheng up and said in a harmonious voice: "This matter is not the general's fault, and the general does not have to blame himself!" ”

Sima Lang frowned and said: "The loss of the south and north gates is too strange, obviously it is the work of internal spies!" ”

"Sima Envoy Jun knows who this person is?" Xu Su asked with a murderous expression.

Sima Lang shook his head, and then asked Xu Zheng, "General Xu, how many men and horses did you bring back?" ”

Xu Su said: "Four or five thousand people, the city defense army is basically all scattered!"

King Kang Ju and Kang Wenrui's faces changed, and they looked at Sima Lang together. Sima Lang pondered: "At present, our total strength is still 6,000 people, and it stands to reason that we should be able to hold it for a day and a half!" However, if this mole is not removed, we will not be at peace for a day! ”

The few people present couldn't help but sink their hearts, Sima Lang said well, as long as this traitor is still in the palace, he may strike a fatal blow to them at any time, and the most troublesome thing now is who this traitor is!

Several people were silent for a moment, and Sima Lang said: "Now we can only strengthen our vigilance!" ”

Sima Lang hugged his fist at King Kangju and pleaded very solemnly: "King Kangju, there is a reluctant invitation below!" ”

"You're welcome, sir!"

"King Kangju, from now on, no one is allowed to approach King Kangju and the four gates of the palace without my order! In extraordinary times, if there is any transgression, please forgive King Kangju! ”

King Kangju hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "Everything will be left to Mr." ”

Sima Lang couldn't help but feel no more relaxed, but felt more pressure, frowned and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you King Kangju!" ”

Sima Lang and Xu Su went out of the main hall, Sima Lang gave a series of orders to a lieutenant, and then boarded the south gate of the palace with Xu Su.

Sima Lang frowned, glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, the morale of the Wei army naturally had no problems, and the morale of the palace guards was also very comforting.

A rebel general came to the city gate and shouted, "If you don't want to die, open the city and surrender early, or you will ・・・・・・・."

The phantom flickered in the firelight, and the voice of the rebel general stopped abruptly, and then turned over and fell.

Xu Su put down the strong bow, smiled coldly, and scolded loudly: "If you have the ability, you will fight!" Where is so much nonsense! (To be continued.) )
