There were sounds of fighting at the main gate, and the soldiers at the other gates naturally thought that the enemy was attacking the main gate, so they came here for reinforcements, leaving only a handful of soldiers to guard the other gates.

The dragon scale cavalry blocked the warehouse door and killed them, but this prevented most of the soldiers in the warehouse from rushing out. Although the Liaodong soldiers had a numerical advantage, they were unable to exert their advantage.

The two sides fought together, killing with all their strength. The combat effectiveness of the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army was naturally not comparable to that of the Liaodong soldiers. These Forbidden Army cooperated with each other tacitly. Although they were fighting hard, they protected themselves very well.

If you want to hit someone, you must first learn to be beaten.

The training of the Imperial Guards not only requires learning how to kill, but more importantly, how to protect oneself.

In fact, during the training of the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army, at least half of the time is spent on training various defensive techniques.

The training of sergeants from other branches of the army mainly focuses on training offensive skills. Although defensive skills are also trained, they are not the main training subjects.

This is naturally very different from the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army.

The Dragon Scale Forbidden Army is a garrison. The main point of their training is to find good opportunities in defense to inflict fatal damage to the enemy. Therefore, even if they take action, the force will change at any time.

They adopt a defensive posture and focus on defense training, which also allows them to have extremely keen observation of the situation around them.

The two sides were killing each other at the warehouse gate, which looked very brutal. However, the casualties of the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army were very limited, but the Liaodong soldiers fell one after another, causing considerable losses.

Xu Shen set an example and rushed forward. Although he was stabbed twice on his body, the wounds were not fatal and he fought bravely.

Yuwen Chengchao killed several people in a row. Seeing Xu Shen's extraordinary bravery and bravery, he urged his horse to get closer. However, there was a mass of people inside and outside the warehouse gate, so it was not easy to get close at that time.

At this moment, bursts of killing sounds were suddenly heard in the granary. The Liaodong soldiers in the rear were surprised when they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind. When they looked back, they saw many cavalry coming from behind.

It was the two cavalry teams, Nie Laoben and Gao Changdou, who quickly broke through the door from both wings, and then quickly attacked from behind.

The Forbidden Army cavalry outside the barn door heard the neighing of horses and shouts of killing inside the barn, and their morale was greatly boosted. They shouted in unison, and the sound shook the night sky.

Under the same night sky, Huangfu Yunzhao led thousands of troops through Shunjin City from west to east.

He realized that there must be a big problem at the east gate, but he didn't expect Cui Bo to be an internal agent, let alone that Cui Bo had already opened the east gate and let Long Ruijun into the city.

Cui Bo was a serious Liaodong general, and his ancestors also followed Emperor Wuzong in the Eastern Expeditions. Although the Cui family did not have much influence in the Liaodong Army, generations of the Cui family had been receiving pay from the Liaodong Army.

Cui Bo can be regarded as a subordinate of Song Shixiang. He has been serving under Song Shixiang and has won the trust of Song Shixin. Song Shixin is a direct descendant of Huangfu Yunzhao, so Cui Bo can also be regarded as Huangfu Yunzhao's own.

Because of this, last time Cui Bo lost an army and lost a general, Huangfu Yunzhao spared the effort because he had his own talents, so he was not punished severely.

This time Cui Bo took the initiative to ask for a job and showed his sincerity to atone for his crimes. Huangfu Yunzhao admired him very much and arranged for him to guard the city gate in the east city.

He indicated that he had never expected that Cui Bo had already surrendered to the enemy.

"General...!" As soon as they entered the east city, they saw two horsemen approaching on Pegasus. They were both extremely embarrassed. When they saw Huangfu Yunzhao, they all shouted: "The enemy has entered the city, they.

....They entered the city...!"

Huangfu Yunzhao was shocked and said sternly: "How is it possible? How did they enter the city?" The enemy did not have siege weapons, so it was impossible to enter the city in such a short period of time.

"Cui...Cui Bo is a spy. He defected to the enemy." A cavalryman said breathlessly: "He opened the city gate and let the enemy into the city. I...we

Several people took advantage of the chaos and ran out, and were about to report to the general...!"

Huangfu Yunzhao's body was shaken and he looked horrified.

But at this moment, he had faintly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the east. At this time, he had no time to think about why Cui Bo surrendered to the enemy. He thought for a moment and made a decision immediately: "Granary, go to the granary, burn the grain, don't let them take it away."

Shunjin City is full of grain and grass. If Long Rui's army seizes it, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful.

He knew very well that after the enemy troops entered the city, the first things they had to capture were the granaries and armories.

The armory was no longer taken care of. Even if we rushed over, it would be impossible to destroy the weapons quickly. However, if we rushed to the granary before the enemy, we could still burn the granary to the ground.

The enemy troops had already entered the city. Huangfu Yunzhao actually knew that the situation was over the moment the enemy troops entered the city, and the city would soon be controlled by Long Rui's army.

Even if all the thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the city are gathered now, they will not be able to fight against several times the enemy's army. All they can do now is to burn down the granary. After all, every grain that falls into Qin Xiao's hands will become

To deal with the rations of the Liaodong Army.

Huangfu Yunzhao took the lead, and the sergeants lined up to follow Huangfu Yunzhao and quickly marched to the granary.

The road was smooth. Huangfu Yunzhao only hoped that Long Ruijun had not arrived at the granary yet and entered Nancheng. Less than two streets away from the granary, he vaguely heard the sound of fighting coming from the direction of the granary. His heart sank and he said loudly

:"quick!"

He knew that he was still a step too late after all, as Long Rui's army had clearly reached the granary.

But fortunately there are still sounds of fighting there, which shows that the granary has not been captured yet.

He galloped forward, and the sergeant behind him also ran quickly, hoping to get reinforcements as soon as possible.

He knew that there was an alley ahead. Although the alley was narrow, passing through it was the shortest way.

He took the lead, crossed the street, and was about to enter an alley, but his instinct still made him rein in his horse and look around, looking alert.

Except for the sound of killing coming from the direction of the granary, the streets and alleys were completely silent.

Nearly a thousand soldiers and horses followed behind, but it seemed quite crowded.

Huangfu Yunzhao's eyes swept, and suddenly his body trembled, and he turned around and said: "Retreat, retreat quickly, there is an ambush!"

However, through the moonlight, he discovered that there was a shadow shaking by the eaves.

Before the sergeant behind him could figure out what was going on, he heard a loud arrow shooting straight into the sky. At this moment, there was a loud noise on the roofs on both sides of the street. The Liaodong soldiers immediately saw it, and countless figures appeared on both sides.

On the roof of the house, these soldiers all held long bows in their hands, bent their bows and nocked arrows, aiming at the sergeants on the street.

But the opponent did not shoot the arrow immediately, and the dark figure brought terrifying pressure to the Liaodong soldiers.

Huangfu Yunzhao was angry. He really didn't expect Long Ruijun to be so fast.

There is no doubt that the enemy is extremely familiar with the terrain in the city and even guessed that reinforcements would be coming to the granary, so they set up an ambush here.

Huangfu Yunzhao held the knife in his hand and pulled the reins of the horse. He knew that he had fallen into a trap. If he made any move at this time, the enemy army would definitely fire arrows, and many of his soldiers would die. "General Huangfu,

Come down!" On the rooftop hill opposite, a figure stepped forward, stared at Huangfu Yunzhao condescendingly, and said loudly: "The situation is over, don't let our brothers die in vain!"

"It's...it's Captain Cui!" A Liaodong soldier exclaimed.

Of course Huangfu Yunzhao also heard the other party's voice. Under the moonlight, he saw the other party's figure, it was Cui Bo.

Seeing Cui Bo ambushing here, Huangfu Yunzhao was furious, but he still remained calm and sneered: "Cui Bo, how many benefits has Qin Xiao given you, and you betrayed the Liaodong Army without even caring about your family?"

"General, don't worry. Just a few days ago, my family members have been safely evacuated from Liaodong." Cui Bo said: "Of course, the general will not let my family members be affected."

"General?" Huangfu Yunzhao snorted coldly and said, "Who is the general you are talking about?"

Cui Bo said: "Of course he is a champion general. How can Wang Xingchao still be a general of the Tang Dynasty when he supported his own troops and betrayed the imperial court?"

"Cui Bo, I will treat you well." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "You have been receiving pay from the Liaodong Army for several generations and have been greatly favored by the Liaodong Army. Now you have betrayed and surrendered to the enemy. Such despicable and shameless behavior cannot be ignored.

Do you feel that you have insulted your ancestors?"

Cui Bo said loudly: "General Huangfu, it is precisely because I miss my old friendship and because you are a decent man that I did not kill you. You said that generations of my Cui family have been paid by the Liaodong Army. This is a big mistake.

"The salary comes from the imperial court, but also from the people in the Northeast. I eat the salary from the imperial court and the grain and rice of the people. What does it have to do with the Liaodong Army?" After a pause, he continued: "As for humiliating our ancestors, if I

Following Wang Xingchao and abandoning the imperial court and persecuting the people would be an insult to our ancestors. It is precisely because I don’t want to forget the ancestral line by repeating the law that I want to follow the general to quell the rebellion."

Huangfu Yunzhao sneered and said: "You are so sharp-tongued. I never noticed it before." Holding his saber tightly, he said coldly: "You asked me to take the initiative to leave the city for a night attack. Naturally, you are just pretending to want to get it.

I trust this general. I can only lament that I failed to see your hypocrisy, and was deceived by you, handing over the east gate to you...!" Thinking of his own negligence, which led to Shunjincheng being internally and externally combined.

It was easy to break through, and I was extremely upset.

"General Huangfu, the situation is over. I hope you will be considerate of our brothers and don't let their sacrifices be in vain." Cui Bo sighed: "The Liaodong Army should not end up like this."

Huangfu Yunzhao slowly raised his arm and raised his sword. At this moment, with a "swish" sound, a sharp arrow shot out from the roof and shot straight towards Huangfu Yunzhao.

Huangfu Yunzhao was startled and wanted to block it with his sword, but when the sharp arrow was close, it still did not hit him directly, but passed by him.

He knew that this was not because the opponent's archery skills were poor, but because he did it deliberately to give himself a warning.

"I've heard the name of General Huangfu for a long time." A voice came from behind Cui Bo, and then a figure stepped forward and stood beside Cui Bo. The voice was calm but full of energy, and every word was spread far away:

"It's really a pity that the general still can't repent today and turn his back on the dark side."

Huangfu Yunzhao stared at the figure, looked at it, thought of something, and said in surprise: "You...are you Qin Xiao?"
