The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 811 Siege
"Your Excellency, the rebel army rushed over from outside the city!"

Inside the Xuanwu Gate, a guard came to report to Liu Kaixuan, his tone worried.

These words startled Liu Kaixuan, who was already worrying about how to defend the city, and his hands that directed the others' actions froze, freezing in mid-air.

A pair of dull eyes looked out of the city gate subconsciously.

Although they had already considered that it would be a matter of time before the rebels came around from outside the city, they did not expect that it would be so fast, and they were completely unprepared to resist.

There are not enough defenders now, and now they can barely hold the rebels in the city!
If the rebels outside the city come again at this time, then this Xuanwumen must not be able to defend it!
Thinking of this, Liu Kaixuan took a deep breath, and then regained his composure. His eyes were heavy and serious, and he looked at the person reporting to him: "Old Speaker, take someone to the outer city!"

"Yes!" The man called Lao Trumpet clasped his fists, without any hesitation, he carried out the military order vigorously and vigorously.

Liu Kaixuan stared at the gate of the city, the rebel army had arrived, no matter what, Xuanwumen must be defended, if the city was broken, even if the reinforcements reached the capital, they would be far behind.

If the rebels were to stick to the capital, there would be sufficient food and grass in the capital, and it would be more than enough to defend the capital for two months!
Even if the reinforcements break the city in the end, the capital left by the rebels at that time will be just a deserted city!
Without the imperial city, the world might be in chaos.

He raised his sword high and roared angrily, "Defend to the death!"

Despite the voice that could almost penetrate people's hearts, Liu Kaixuan's eyes were already scarlet. If a man defends his family and country, why should he be afraid of death?

Now there are not many city gate guards, but some of them have to be allocated to guard the outer city gate, which will naturally increase the pressure for a while.

What's more, there are so many rebels outside the city, like a puddle of muddy water that drowns the crowd, how can they resist with just a dozen of them?
Sure enough, within a few breaths, the defenders suffered casualties!
The defender who was pierced by an arrow fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of tiny dust on the ground, his eyes were wide open, and his rough hands were still clinging to the hilt of his sword.

"Old Trumpet!" Liu Kaixuan's heart sank, he couldn't keep it anymore!
Suddenly, someone shouted at the city gate: "Silver armor! Iron cavalry!"

The rest of the defenders followed the shout and saw a troop of cavalry, silver armor, galloping on the streets of the city!Cavalry!
That silver torrent washed away the few remaining rebels in the city, but it was about to break through the rebels and rush to the city gate in an instant.

"The fifth knight of the Ling family is ordered to guard the Xuanwu Gate!"

Looking at the torrent, Liu Kaixuan's eyes seemed to be ignited, and he shouted excitedly: "Brothers! Open the city gate! It's the Ling family cavalry!"

Liu Kaixuan himself was born in the Ling family's army, and having fought with Yan Sihan countless times on the battlefield, he naturally knew the Ling family's iron cavalry very well.

High Horse Silver Armor!As long as the horse is still there, the Ling family cavalry will be unstoppable!
The moment he saw the iron cavalry, Liu Kaixuan knew how he should defend the city, gathered all the defenders to defend the inner city, and the Ling family's iron cavalry went out of the city gate to charge the rebels in the outer city!

Although there are fewer rebels in the inner city now, it seems that most of them have fled outside the city through other gates, but it is not known how many rebels are still there.

The other city gates have already fallen, and Xuanwu Gate must not be lost, or even if reinforcements arrive, it will not help.

"Follow me to kill the enemy!" After Liu Kaixuan said, he put down the rope and jumped down along the city wall, followed by several people behind him.

Two or three swords cut down the nearby rebels, followed by five or six veterans, and in one go, the city gate was emptied in an instant.
