The shouts of the imperial guards echoed in the center of the military formation, and the originally noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The Forbidden Army's words kept echoing in everyone's minds.
The Sheriff froze on the spot.
The lieutenant's eyes widened in disbelief.
Cheng had already run over at this moment, rushing straight towards the imperial army who was delivering the message.
shouted excitedly.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The Imperial Guard glared at him. At this moment, Zhang Han and others were holding on to the city gate with their lives.
One breath later could lead to their complete annihilation.
"Where is the governor and lieutenant of Huaiyang County?"
The two people in the center of the military formation responded hurriedly, but couldn't help but ask the same question.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The Imperial Guard was furious and took out the dragon order that Zhang Han gave him from his arms.
"The Huaiyang army listens to the order! Divide the troops immediately and follow me to attack the west city! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Seeing the familiar dragon order, the county guard finally reacted and stood up excitedly.
"The Huaiyang Army takes the order!"
The county lieutenant on the side also shouted loudly.
"Cheng! Immediately lead five military formations to support the censor! Today we will take down this huge city that even the famous general Wang Jian had trouble for and show it to the world!"
Cheng immediately bent down and responded.
"The last general will live up to his command!"
Looking at the Prime Minister leading his troops away, the Sheriff seemed to be dreaming.
He said with a wink.
"Is the city gate broken like this?"
The county lieutenant ignored him, turned around and faced the army and shouted!
"Sirs and soldiers! Victory is in sight! Everyone obeys the order! Attack the city with all our strength in a quarter of an hour!"
"Follow me and fight in!"
The soldiers who also heard the shouts of the Forbidden Army suddenly became more energetic!
It was originally a battle to the death, but as the fight continued, the city wall was about to be captured!
Who can bear this?
Looking at the soldiers roaring and venting one by one.
The county lieutenant couldn't help shouting.
"Censor, you are so awesome!"
The governor laughed loudly. He had long thrown away the contempt he felt when he saw Ying Xuan for the first time.
"I'm still smart! When I first met the censor, I could tell that he was the best among men."
"When I came up, I entrusted the responsibility of food and grass to the imperial censor. Look at how correct the decision was. This is a great achievement! Hahaha!"
After hearing this, the county lieutenant couldn't help rolling his eyes. He was too lazy to talk to the county guard and continued to turn around and stare at the city wall!
It's the same place under the city wall, but it's different from the noise of war in the southern city.
The North City was silent. At the tunnel entrance on the inner bank of the moat, the last imperial soldier slowly got in after observing the surrounding area.
Less than three breaths after he left, a small shadow passed across the sky.
The palm-sized pigeon happened to land at the entrance of the tunnel, flapping its wings.
Not far from here, in the northwest corner of the city wall, there is a mound in the grass where the west and north walls can be observed at the same time.
A pair of bright eyes appeared.
These eyes saw Zhang Han leading his men to break through the city gate, saw five thousand Huaiyang troops rushing in, and saw the desperate resistance of the refugees and soldiers at both ends of the west city.
He thought for a while and found that the root cause of the constant changes in the battlefield situation came from Ying Xuan.
So without saying a word, he tightened the dark green vines wrapped around his body and crawled little by little towards the place where the pigeons had landed in the north.
Also crawling was Ying Xuan.
He didn't expect this tunnel to be so far away.
It didn’t stop just after crossing the city wall! Instead, they went deep into the inner city of Shouchun.
In this oppressive environment, people will subconsciously become a little irritable.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?"
Zhang Wangcai in front opened his mouth to explain.
"Come on, come on, we're going out soon!"
Another forbidden soldier couldn't help but speak.
"The tunnel is so long, why didn't you say anything before coming in!"
Zhang Wangcai said a little aggrieved.
"You didn't even ask!"
Ying Xuan interrupted them angrily.
"Stop talking and hurry up! My neck is about to break!"
After climbing another few dozen meters, voices finally came from the front.
"who?"
Zhang Wangcai answered the call hurriedly.
"Young messenger, here to report the news!"
Then there was the sound of a wooden board being lifted.
A long sword stretched out from the front and was placed on Zhang Wangcai's neck.
Zhang Wangcai was so frightened that he trembled all over and got out tremblingly.
This timid image fits the messenger's actions very well.
The soldier laughed twice and was about to tease him.
A dull voice asked.
"What's going on outside? Have reinforcements from the Qin Army arrived?"
Zhang Wangcai answered hurriedly.
"No, no! It's food and fodder! They can't keep up with the food and fodder! So they are anxious to attack the city!"
The owner of the voice did not make a sound, seemingly not satisfied with the answer.
The soldier who threatened him with his sword kicked him.
"to be honest!"
Zhang Wangcai was kicked and flew backwards, hitting the wall beside him, groaning in pain.
The people at the back of the tunnel did not stop because of this, and they all came out one by one.
When they came out, they discovered that this was a dungeon-like place.
In addition to the several soldiers in the cell, there were also a dozen people holding short spears of two to three meters on guard outside.
The person who asked the low question was also sitting outside the cell.
He relaxed his vigilance after seeing that the people who came out afterward were no different and were also refugees with empty hands.
"Pull him out!"
The guard followed the order and lifted Zhang Wangcai out of the cell and pushed him down in front of the man.
The man looked down.
"I ask one last time why the Qin army attacked the city so aggressively today!"
Zhang Wangcai was very scared at the moment, he didn't want to die at all!
But what should I say now? Telling the truth means betrayal and you will die, and telling lies means you will die.
Between life and death, he had an idea.
He raised his head and stared at the man.
"There is a Xizuo among you! That Xizuo will open the door for the army. You still have a chance to stop it now, otherwise the city gate will be breached by the Qin army in a while!"
After hearing this, the man suddenly stood up, frowned and glared at Zhang Wangcai, just about to get angry and question him.
Suddenly there was a shout in the distance.
"It's not good! It's not good! Lieutenant Zhichao!"
"The west gate has been breached by the Qin army! General Zhixi ordered you to lead troops to support! Be sure to push back the enemies at the west gate!"
The man's eyes widened.
"How is it possible? Where are the reserve internal guards?"
The person who delivered the news said in a panic.
"The offensive in Nancheng tonight is too strong, and most of the internal guards have been transferred to Nancheng for defense!"
"The remaining few hundred inner guards on the west city wall failed to stop the opponent!"
The man slapped the table angrily.
"How could such a mistake happen? It must be the fault of those bitches again!"
After saying that, he turned around to take the people away and glanced at Zhang Wangcai beside him.
"These wastes are useless, kill them all!"
But the words have just been finished.
Without waiting for the soldiers under his command to take action.
The daggers suddenly slipped out of the sleeves of the ten refugees who had walked out of the cell.
In a few breaths, he knocked down the surrounding soldiers.
The man was shocked. He drew his sword and was about to lead his men to fight for their lives against the Imperial Guards.
But the Imperial Guards holding daggers ignored him at all. After the sneak attack, they retreated and hid against the wall.
The man was a little confused, and the next moment his pupils shrank instantly.
Just because in the cells behind these refugees, soldiers wearing black-striped armor had already raised their crossbows.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The arrow passed through the gap in the cell and emptied the entire dungeon in an instant.
