At a hidden and uninhabited small river crossing in Chang'an City, a human head emerged from the water and carefully observed the surrounding situation. He was the scout of Duan Yanjun who sneaked into the city from the sewer.

The scout climbed ashore and looked around carefully. It was already late at night, it was quiet, and there were no defenders of Li Jue's army around.

The scout lowered his body to the entrance of the sewer and sent out a coded signal to notify his companions hiding in the sewer.

Duan Yan heard the signal and led the soldiers to quickly emerge from the sewer.

Duan Xuan carefully observed the surrounding environment and finally determined his location, which was a sewer outlet very close to the south gate of Chang'an.

Duan Yan quickly waved his hands to his subordinates and issued instructions, indicating that they should quickly disperse and approach the south gate.

Almost at the same time, Yan Xing's troops also emerged from the exit of another sewer. His location was near the north gate of Chang'an. He quickly led his men and quickly approached the north gate of Chang'an.

To Duan Xuan's expectation, they groped all the way to the south gate of Chang'an and never encountered the garrison of Li Jue's army.

Although Duan Yan was confused, time was tight and he could not think too much. He immediately gathered his men and rushed towards some of the defenders guarding the south gate.

It was late at night, the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, and Duan Yan and the others came from the city to kill them. The defenders did not expect that there would be enemies behind them, and they were killed before they had time to mount an effective defense. .

Duan Yan ordered his men to quickly open the city gate, and he led a group of soldiers, grabbed the long weapons of the defenders on the ground, and rushed towards the city wall along the city road.

"Bang!" With a loud sound as the city gate hit the wall of the city gate hole, the rock-solid south gate of Chang'an City was opened from the inside.

Ma Chao had already led 10,000 soldiers and horses waiting outside the city. When he saw the city gate opened, he immediately held a spear and shouted: "Kill!"

An order was given, and countless torches were quickly lit up. Ma Chao's men held the torches high, poured into the city gate like a violent storm, and rushed into Chang'an City with shouts.

Duan Yan had already led his men to the city wall and launched a surprise attack on the defenders guarding the city wall.

Ma Chao took the lead and rushed into the city gate. He left some soldiers to assist Duan Yan in seizing the city tower and clearing out the defenders. He led the other half of the soldiers along the streets of Chang'an and went directly to Commander Li Jue's mansion in the center of the city.

At the north gate of Chang'an, Yan Xing's troops had also killed the defenders and opened the city gate.

Xu Huang, holding a big ax in hand, also led his troops into the city.

Duan Xuan's and Yan Xing's troops, with the cooperation of Ma Chao and Xu Huang's troops, quickly killed all the garrison guards on the city tower overnight, and then quickly followed the city wall to the east and west gates to fight for the city. Zhang Heng and Liang Xing's troops opened the door.

The entire city of Chang'an was filled with howls and screams. The teams led by Duan Xuan and Yan Xing continued to shuttle through the city walls. They worked tirelessly to kill the defenders scattered at the top of the city.

In the Cao Zhangjun camp outside Chang'an City, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Ba were ready to go. They saw the fire rising into the sky in Chang'an City and heard the loud shouts of killing.

"Ziwen, it's successful, our troops have entered Chang'an!" Xiahou Ba said excitedly to Cao Zhang beside him.

Cao Zhang looked at Chang'an City in the distance, feeling extremely excited inside.

We have been in a stalemate with Li Jue's troops here for several days, and today we finally opened this strong city.

"Zhong Quan, follow me to attack, we will directly go after Li Jue!" Cao Zhang gave the order to Xiahou Ba.

Xiahou Ba agreed excitedly, led his troops and followed Cao Zhang towards Chang'an City.

Inside the Shuai Mansion in Chang'an City.

After Li Jue sent away Li Huan, Li Shi and others, he returned to the room, but he tossed and turned on the bed and could no longer sleep. The image of Li Shi crying to him in his dream kept flashing before his eyes.

Li Jue's fists were clenched and relieved again and again. He was furious and wanted to kill Li Huan.

But as Li Ying begged for mercy, he calmed down a little. He understood that Li Huan would never take the initiative to harm Li Shi, let alone betray him easily. He was too impulsive.

Li Jue has been thinking about whether to bring some medicine to see Li Huan and ease the relationship with him.

Unexpectedly, before he could get up, he heard another cry of killing coming from outside. This time, the shouting of killing came from all directions and was very loud. It was very similar to the situation when he was unexpectedly attacked in Luoyang.

Li Jue didn't dare to show any slightness, quickly opened the door and rushed out again with his sword in hand.

Several Flying Bear soldiers immediately surrounded him and protected him.

Li Jue raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see fire in all directions, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer.

"What happened?" Li Jue asked anxiously.

The little leader of the Flying Bear Army didn't know the situation, so he could only shake his head helplessly: "I don't know, maybe the enemy launched a night attack?"

"Fart, how can the enemy invade the city so quickly during a night attack? What do Li Huan, Li Ying, and Hu Feng do for food!?" Li Jue shouted excitedly.

The little leader of the Flying Bear Army was also confused and didn't know how to answer.

"Brother, big brother!" shouts came from the distance, but it was Li Huan and Li Ying who were limping and came with several soldiers.

Li Ying shouted anxiously: "Brother, it's not good. The enemy troops sneaked into the city from the river and opened the city gates. Now all four gates have been opened. The enemy troops have entered the city. We are here to cover your breakout." .”

Li Jue was originally very nervous when he heard that the city gates were opened, but when he heard that Li Ying and Li Huan came to cover his breakout regardless of their injured bodies, he felt warm in his heart.

"Brothers, we still have the Flying Bear Army. If we charge together, we will definitely be able to charge out." Li Jue responded to Li Ying and Li Huan.

Li Ying and Li Huan quickly came to Li Jue's side and joined him.

"Brother, rush out quickly!" Li Ying urged Li Jue.

Li Jue nodded and told the young leader of the Flying Bear Army: "Quick, clear the way ahead!"

After receiving the order, the little boss immediately rushed out with several flying bear troops, taking the lead in clearing the way.

Li Huan and Li Ying led people to guard Li Jue and walked outside the commander's mansion together.

Li Jue was completely unwary of Li Huan and Li Ying at this time. He just looked up and walked forward quickly, not noticing the reaction of the two behind him.

Li Huan and Li Ying exchanged glances, and both were ready to take action.

"Kill!" Li Huan and Li Ying issued orders almost at the same time. One by one, their men launched sneak attacks on the Flying Bear Army beside and in front of them.

The Flying Bear Army did not expect that these friendly troops would attack them. They did not react at all and were killed and fell to the ground.

Li Jue was shocked when he saw this scene. He was about to ask questions in a panic when he felt a cool breeze blowing behind his ears.

Li Jue hurriedly lowered his head in panic, and then avoided the knife that was trying to cut off his head. The tip of the knife passed through his hair, directly cutting off the bun on his head, and his hair fell down.

Li Jue couldn't care less about his hair now, because a knife was already slashing at him. This time he couldn't dodge, and was hit in the thigh with a sharp knife.

Li Jue let out a scream. Unable to stand still, he fell to the ground on his back. Only then did he see clearly that the two men wielding knives at him were none other than his "good brothers" Li Huan and Li Ying... …
