The night is extremely dark tonight, and there is no moon.
Perhaps because of the effect of the dark night, there was a hint of silence even in the air.
"Why is it so quiet tonight?"
"Be sure to be careful of Zhang Bao and others coming in for a sneak attack."
Cao Kang said to Cao De.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have arranged people on duty on the city wall to ensure that there are tens of thousands of people at every hour. Even if they attack by surprise, it will have no effect."
"And that city gate has been blocked by our people. They can't break in!"
Cao De said to Cao Kang.
"I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy today."
"It was like something big was going to happen."
Cao Kang rubbed his brows melancholy.
"Your Majesty, is it possible that you have been too tired recently?"
"The counterattack will begin tomorrow, and we need you to go to the front line for mobilization. You must have a good rest."
"Don't worry, as long as tomorrow passes, neither Zhang Bao nor Fan Hanzhong will be a thing of the past."
Cao De said to Cao Kang.
"Yeah, maybe it's because of the recent rest."
"During this period, I couldn't sleep at night. I kept dreaming that Zhang Bao and the others rushed in with people."
"Almost every night I wake up from my dream."
Cao Kang shook his head and smiled at himself. In front of Cao De, he would not be too pretentious.
"The emperor is joking."
"Now our capital city is impregnable. Although we dare not claim victory in attack, our defense is absolutely foolproof!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured——"
"boom!"
Before Cao De finished speaking, he suddenly heard a huge and dull sound coming from the distance.
Cao Kang and Cao De were stunned for a moment at the same time.
Then, they ran out at the same time.
The scene they saw in front of them shocked them beyond measure.
I saw countless lights lighting up on the edge of the city wall in the distance, all flashing by, followed by deafening explosions.
By these twinkling lights.
Cao Kang and Cao De were shocked to find that the originally tall city wall had collapsed with a gap, and this gap was still being expanded amidst countless fires.
"It's over!"
Cao Kang fell to the ground in confusion.
"emperor!"
"quick!"
"Quickly leave the city through the south gate! I will lead the troops to block that gap!"
"Let's go quickly! Take as many people as you can with us. We'll keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood."
Cao De knew that once the city wall was blasted open, Fan Hanzhong's troops would be able to march straight in.
Their natural moat is gone, and for them, there is no absolute certainty of victory or defeat.
And they also knew that once the city wall was blasted open, the people in the capital would be completely in panic.
After blowing open the city wall, the morale of Zhang Bao and his men must have greatly increased. It would be very disadvantageous to launch a counterattack at this time.
After being defeated like a mountain, it was difficult to organize an effective defense force.
At this time, the best way is to retreat and preserve your strength!
Let Cao Kang lead his people to avoid the edge again.
As long as Cao Kang is still alive, Dawei will not die.
Seeing the determination in Cao De's eyes, Cao Kang also realized something.
But at this moment, when he heard the shouting of killing coming from the distant city wall, he didn't care anymore and ran towards the south gate in a hurry.
At this time, Zhang Bao and the others concentrated their main forces near the North City Gate, while the South City Gate was the weakest point.
If you escape from the south city gate at this time, there may be a glimmer of hope.
At this time, the city wall had been blown open by countless explosives.
Zhang Bao and his men rushed in one after another after eating and drinking. For them, they had been waiting for this moment for more than half a month.
For more than half a month, they faced the tall city wall and were helpless. Many of them even collapsed because they ran out of food and grass.
But I didn't expect it.
Zhang Bao and the others actually used only a few dozen people to blow open the city wall.
The spectacular scene of these dozens of trucks of explosives, bombarded by catapults in turn, shocked everyone.
This scene like a thunder god descending to earth was actually created by Zhang Zhoumu.
for them.
Naturally it is quite exciting.
"Bros!"
"Come in with me!"
"Capture Cao Kang alive!"
Fan Hanzhong took the lead and rushed forward. Although the city wall that was exploded was full of rubble, it could not stop everyone's progress at all.
The soldiers guarding the city were already trembling with fear from the earth-shattering noise.
The city gate has been breached, and now countless people are rushing in.
When seeing this scene, everyone had no fighting spirit.
Fortunately, Cao De led his troops to rush over in time.
A melee started with Zhang Bao's men.
"grown ups!"
"A group of people rushed out from the South City Gate and headed towards Nanzhou."
At this moment, several scouts came to the big tent and said to Zhang Bao.
"What?!"
"I guess Cao Kang is going to run away!"
"How many can they have?"
Zhang Bao asked the visitor.
"It can't be seen clearly at night, but roughly based on the time it takes to leave the city, there must be at least 70,000 to 80,000 horses!"
The scout said to Zhang Bao.
"It seems that they are preparing to accumulate strength for a counterattack."
"Order Fan Hanzhong to withdraw!"
"Immediately lead 50,000 troops to pursue Cao Kang!"
"In addition, tell the people in the city that as long as they surrender, they can throw away their weapons without killing them!"
"Kill all those who stubbornly resist, leaving no one behind!"
Zhang Bao said to everyone.
At this time, Fan Hanzhong was leading the rise of killings.
He didn't expect that Zhang Bao would use that kind of explosive to successfully blow down the city wall.
And judging from the current situation, for them, they have basically won.
Fan Hanzhong led his men and horses all the way towards the palace. For Fan Hanzhong, this capital was originally the capital of Daxia, and this world was originally Daxia's world.
Cao Kang actually braved the disapproval of the world, plotted to usurp the throne, and took over the palace.
For Fan Hanzhong, if he can lead people to take down the palace again, for them, it can be regarded as restoring Daxia's national prestige.
Everyone was extremely excited. They were really blocking people and killing people, and they were running rampant.
But just as Fan Hanzhong kept charging inside and beating hard, he suddenly received Zhang Bao's order.
"What?!"
"Cao Kang ran away?!"
"quick!"
"You guys, along with your troops, follow me!"
Fan Hanzhong became anxious upon hearing this.
If Cao Kang is allowed to escape, even if they take the capital, it won't mean much.
Immediately let his two generals clear the way and kill towards the south city gate.
