Prime Minister Cheng, who was above the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was still a little upset in his heart before. After all, this Hu Lai used troops to fight, and as soon as he fought, he captured the outer city at almost the same speed, and he also captured the inner city.

Faced with such a situation, how long can I defend the imperial city at the beginning? Prime Minister Cheng actually had no confidence at all, but the situation has indeed changed now. The four major camps actually quickly captured the outer city and the inner city at the speed of the imperial capital camp, which was no less than the siege of the imperial capital camp. At this moment, the situation in front of him seemed to Prime Minister Cheng not only did not have to escape, but he could also attack the four major camps inside and outside to defeat the imperial capital camp, and this was actually possible.

The troops of the four major battalions are four times that of the imperial capital camp. At this time, the Jiumenmen Tyrant Camp plus those officials and servants guarded the imperial city, making it difficult for the imperial capital camp to move forward. This is like a stone mill, if you sandwich the imperial capital camp in the middle, you will definitely kill him. Under such circumstances, he really couldn't think of any possibility that the imperial capital camp would escape and escape from such front and back attacks.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Cheng couldn't help but smile, but the Admiral of the Nine Gate was bitter at this time. He was not as optimistic as Prime Minister Cheng. Although Prime Minister Cheng knew about the military, he had only fought several battles of victory many years ago. Before becoming the Admiral of the Nine Gate, he was also a general on the front line and fought many tough battles. He knew deeply that the current situation was likely to cause a result, that is, because the strength of the four major camps behind the Imperial Capital Camp was too strong, so the Imperial Capital Camp invested all its main attack power above the imperial city. The Admiral of the Nine Gate, as the main guardian of the Imperial City, would be subjected to the strongest attack, and the result caused by this is unimaginable.

Then the damage suffered by the Nine Gate Admiral Battalion must be quite serious. In this situation where the situation is unknown, the troops in hand are the greatest reliance on people's words. In such a situation like him, there is naturally nothing to say, and there is only a fight to the death.

When Hu Lai turned his back to this emperor, he slapped his lips, and his disdain was overwhelming. Then he strode forward and ordered to his subordinates, "Cover the rain of arrows!"

The Emperor behind him also heard Hu Lai's orders, but he was extremely disdainful of the arrow rain cover. The arrow rain cover had not been used before, but due to this special situation in the imperial city, his arrow rain cover had no effect at all and had not been obtained

As good as the battle between the outer city and the inner city, Hu Lai now needs to be covered by arrow rain. In the Emperor's opinion, it is clear that Hu Lai is already poor in skills.

When the two sides were fighting, an attack method that had been proven to be ineffective against the enemy was once again taken out to attack the enemy. In this case, there was really nothing to say. The Emperor was sneering in his heart. He didn't believe it. Hu Lai couldn't cover it with arrow rain last time, but this time he could cover it with arrow rain this time.

However, something that surprised the Emperor happened. To be honest, the situation in front of him was really unexpected. No one expected that this time the rain of arrows covered it was a rocket. The rockets in the sky fell on the top of the city and immediately ignited a raging fire on the top of the city.

The Emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore and pointed his finger at Hu Lai. He couldn't speak for a moment. Using such a rocket attack could indeed capture the imperial city, but after the capture, the imperial city would be destroyed, and it would be completely destroyed. The Emperor never dreamed that this Hu Lai's arrow rain cover this time was such a covering method. It was not so much a arrow rain cover, but it was burned down the imperial city.

But the Emperor cannot openly say that you can break the city, but you can't burn my palace! If he says this, it will be equivalent to offending all the imperial capital camps. Do you even have to consider not destroying your palace for the sake of you fighting against the enemy? However, as a commander-in-chief, as a senior general and a dignified governor, he should know in his heart that whether it is the enemy or his own side in the battle, if the palace is burned, it will be equivalent to burning the emperor's dignity.

The destruction of the imperial city is equivalent to the destruction of the emperor's face. To be honest, no one could imagine such a situation. Prime Minister Cheng, the Admiral of the Nine Gate, and the officials above the city wall, could not have thought of their opponents. Anyone who could use such a method would have fire attacks. However, for this imperial capital, the use of fire attacks must be carefully considered. The lower-level officers and officers may not have thought of this, but as a governor, Hu Lai must know it, but now the governor of the imperial capital camp did this. Looking at this situation, he really felt incredible in his heart.

"retreat!"

Prime Minister Cheng once again issued an order to retreat.

No one can gain a foothold on the city wall with such a big fire, but when he turned around and left the lower level, he showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Governor of the Imperial Capital Camp did this,

In fact, it also proved one thing, that is, the governor of the imperial capital camp had no fear of the emperor. Although he was standing on the emperor's side and helping the emperor fight, Prime Minister Cheng seemed to have seen the appearance of the emperor and the governor of the imperial capital camp when they parted ways.

Hu Lai used this kind of method beyond the conventional to turn the imperial city into a sea of ​​fire. Although Prime Minister Cheng and others were reluctant, they had to helplessly go out of the city through the tunnel. It can be said that the situation of attacking on both sides will no longer exist.

Hu Lai used this trick to burn the imperial city, which was completely unexpected by all parties. Even the Emperor who was with him could not imagine. Of course, Prime Minister Cheng and others could not imagine. Although Prime Minister Cheng wanted to stay and attack the four major camps from both sides and eliminate the imperial capital camp, it was impossible now. He could only lead his men to go out of the city from the tunnel where the Emperor escaped before. It took them a long time to leave. The exit of this tunnel was five miles outside the city, which was equivalent to continuing to enter the outer city from outside the city, entering the inner city, and then meeting with the four major camps. So such a situation is really a very difficult thing for them.

Looking at the burning imperial city, Hu Lai's face still had a charming and slight expression. It seemed that the one who ordered the burning of the imperial city just now was not like him. In his opinion, the situation in front of him was really surprising. Everyone didn't know how this matter was like this.

"No, what do you mean by doing this?"

The Emperor wanted to throw his finger on Hu Lai's face and questioned him like this, but after thinking about it, the Emperor finally resisted this problem. He was not a fool. Hu Lai was able to do this, which means that he was not afraid of the Emperor. Many people may not understand such a situation, but for the Emperor, he quickly figured it out that before, the Emperor Capital Camp did not participate in the fight between him and his local forces, and it was not neutral. It is very likely that Hu Lai had other ideas. As for his willingness to help him deal with the four major camps later, the same is true. It is definitely not because he was so loyal to him.
