The huge explosion shook the people of Xia Mansion who were still eating peacefully at the table. After seeing this scene, everyone was frightened. King Qi An was so frightened that his legs went weak.
He sat down on the ground and made Queen Xia stagger at the same time.
Xia Huan was also frightened. He had also heard the previous gunshots, but they were concentrated in the central area of the city, which was quite far away from his residence. Although he was shocked, he did not feel that there was any danger, but it was different now.
It exploded right next to me, how could I not be afraid?
Xia Yunkuo jumped on his horse and said to Xia Yunqu, who was still in a daze: "Take good care of your family and make a decision quickly. If it's too late, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
Then he urged his horse towards the central area of the city.
King Qi'an was so frightened that he shouted: "Queen Mother, Grandfather, what are we going to do? Are we going to die?"
"Shut up!" Queen Xia and Xia Huan scolded at the same time.
Just because they have nothing to do now. The artillery was fired from outside the city. Naturally, they don't know where it will land. They don't know whether it can be bombed. The only way they can think of now is...
Xia Huan immediately ordered that everyone in the mansion evacuate to the backyard, and then go to the dungeon to take refuge. We will wait and see if we can escape this disaster.
When Xia Yunkuo galloped toward the inner city gate, he saw artillery flying across the sky, and his heart trembled.
He originally only regarded Xiao Muting's fear on the surface, but now he only felt it from the bottom of his heart.
Just when he was about to enter the inner city gate, he suddenly heard the soldiers guarding the city gate pointing to the sky and shouting: "Look, has this artillery changed its direction... How could it be thrown in from behind us? Could it be outside the city?"
Have the enemy troops already broken through the city?"
Xia Yunkuo also stopped to look at the direction in which the artillery was fired, and immediately urged his horse into the central area of the city. However, as he ran all the way, he found that no artillery was hit here at all, and there was no one in the direction of the city gate.
Come and report that the enemy has breached the city.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the sound of artillery flashed across the sky again. He looked up and frowned tightly. He had already seen clearly that the direction of the artillery was towards the west.
urban area.
He immediately gathered the current army and ordered his deputy general to take a team of troops to Xicheng District to see the situation, and then report back to him immediately.
Looking at the large army mixed together by the four armies, he relaxed his worries. He thought that with such a large army, even if the opponent had a few capable people, he would not be afraid at all.
Then he dispatched manpower and waited for the opponent's artillery offensive to stop before immediately entering Dongcheng District to carry out fire-fighting and rescue operations.
The city defense camp is located in Dongcheng District, and because the city defense camp was transferred into the palace by Xiao Muyun, the barracks here have become vacant. After the Chiyang army broke through the city, some of the military personnel were placed here.
The artillery target this time was Dongcheng District, and two artillery pieces landed directly in the city defense camp, killing and injuring many people and causing a fire.
Just as they were trying their best to save people, someone suddenly came to report that a large number of King Chen's troops had been spotted outside the east city gate, and that they had arrived at the bottom of the city and were threatening to destroy the city.
Just as a large group of Chiyang troops surged out of the city defense camp and rushed towards the East City Gate, a sudden rain of arrows shot in from outside the East City Gate, directly blocking the people who were going to help in the battle on the street, and screams could be heard everywhere.
It sounds chilling.
When Xia Yunkuo got the news, he was already standing on the main street of the East City with his men. He was sweating coldly as he looked at the tragic scene in front of him.
Falling in a pool of blood in the rain of arrows, there was a general who reached out to them for help. He opened his mouth and vomited blood. He used his last bit of strength to yell out: "General! Save me!"
After this round of arrows, the city calmed down, but the fighting outside the city continued. Emergency news came from both the east and south gates, which made him swallow feebly and could only hold on.
Capti ordered the army besieging the palace to be divided into two groups and go to the two city gates to assist in the battle.
However, the 30,000 subordinates led by the deputy general he had sent out earlier had no news of them and disappeared alive in Xicheng District. This made him immediately feel that something was wrong.
Immediately ordered the closure of the inner city gate in Xicheng District, and arranged for generals to guard the gate and not allow anyone to enter the inner city.
But what he didn't know was that during the melee just now, the gatekeepers who were originally guarding the west city gate had been replaced, and when the gate was closed, the 50,000 Xuanjia Army and Cangluan members led by Su Han
It has successfully sneaked into the inner city.
The central area of the city was already in chaos. The Chiyang Army and the three armies that originally surrendered were running around. The mix of personnel also gave Su Han and others an advantage, and they successfully sneaked into the Dongcheng District from the central area.
And smoothly dispersed the personnel to various streets and alleys in the city. Many people even changed into the uniforms of the Chiyang Army and directly blended into other people's ranks, following them and running around.
In the process, these powers were directly removed. When someone discovered it, they directly wiped the opponent's neck to remove the traces, and then sneaked into the next team.
Su Han led Xia Qing and other Cang Luan team members to successfully climb into the high wall of Xia Mansion. After searching the mansion, they pulled out the hiding servants and successfully inquired about their identity.
The location where the master is hiding.
Su Han patted the shoulder of the steward, who was about fifty years old, and said with a smile: "General Xia asked the last general to come to summon you, and please your two highnesses to open the palace gate before another round of bombardment by King Chen.
Defeat Huanglong and capture Xiao Muchun, otherwise, it will be too late."
The housekeeper looked at the young general standing in front of him. They were all in good spirits and were still wearing the clothes of the Chiyang Army. He had no doubts and nodded obediently and said: "The old master, the master, the two highnesses and the queen are all in the mansion."
In the dungeon, the young general might as well go directly to summon you!"
Su Han shook his head and pointed to the door of the mansion: "It's too late. I want to join the general to help him repel the enemy troops attacking the city, so I need you to send a message and tell the old man and Mr. Xia that we must
quick!"
"Old slave, I obey!" The old housekeeper turned around and ran to the backyard.
Xia Qing sent someone to follow him. After a while, the people he sent came back. He smiled and nodded at them. The group opened the door of the house and left in a big way, and then quickly headed towards the Xiquan Liquor Shop in the east district of the city.
After knocking on the door, the door of the wine shop was opened from the inside. After seeing Su Han, the owner of the wine shop nodded with a smile and let them all enter the house.
Just after Su Han sat down at the stone table in the backyard, the boss came forward and saluted respectfully: "My subordinate Jing Quan has met Deputy Pavilion Master Su."
"No need to be polite, can the tunnel be opened?" Su Han asked, reaching out to help him.
"As far as I'm concerned, Deputy Pavilion Master, the connection was opened three days ago. It leads directly to Fengyi Hall in the palace, and the exit is in the west wing of Fengyi Hall." Jing Quan replied immediately.
"Okay!" Su Han nodded and then looked at Xia Qing.
She immediately said: "Captain, you go with Yun Shi, Yun Lan and the others. Leave the above matters to us. We must follow your instructions and let them capture the palace within half a day."
"If we really want to attack, it probably won't work. It's just a matter of sending a message to the internal agents in the palace and opening the palace gate. It's up to them to decide how to perform the play. While destroying the imperial city, remember that they must
Open the south city gate, and you must go underground in an orderly manner, and let's go to the palace together." Su Han nodded to her.
"I obey my orders! I promise to complete the task." Xia Qing replied solemnly.
