Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

"really!?"

The group was thrilled upon hearing the news.

"Your Highness is the true Son of Heaven, and Heaven will surely help you!"

That's a comforting thing to say.

The man wearing the silver mask chuckled softly, then looked in another direction, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"It's been so long, and Guan Chun still hasn't breached the city."

One person replied, "General Guan is leading 70,000 troops, and they are coming with great force. It is estimated that most of the capital garrison's forces have been transferred to defend the west gate. I heard that Shen Youyan is in charge of leading the troops. Guan Chun used to be his subordinate, and they know each other very well. It is estimated that it will be difficult to determine who is better for the time being."

This is their best chance to enter the city through the main east gate!
The man withdrew his gaze and looked at the majestic imperial city.

When he left, he was in a sorry state, and he vowed that he would return in a dignified manner!
Today!

"Let him hold off the Beijing garrison first, which will help us disperse our forces."

He drew his sword.
"kill!"

……

The King of Yannan was unconscious for only a short time; he woke up after resting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him wake up.

"General, if you don't wake up soon, we'll have to continue the pursuit!"

It's not good for a group to be leaderless. They were just discussing asking the deputy commander to step in and temporarily take command in place of the Prince of Yannan.

"General, was there something wrong with the medicine you took before?"

Otherwise, why would he suddenly faint?

The Prince of Yannan shook his head and asked, "Where are the rebels now?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned somewhat grim.

One of them pointed to the map beside him, "They're moving extremely fast. Judging by the time, they're probably almost at the west gate."

The atmosphere inside the tent became even more somber.

The other person chuckled and said optimistically, "Actually, we're not far from there. We can catch up now! As long as we hold the city gate, it won't be long before we catch up and fight them to the death!"

After a moment's thought, the King of Yannan quickly made a decision.

"Chase!" ……

By the time the Prince of Yannan led his troops in pursuit again, the rebel army had already reached the moat.

The river was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the city walls and eaves were covered with snow.

The cold wind was biting.

The man wearing a silver mask sat high on his horse, looking up ahead.

……

West Gate.

Below the city gate, several large pots were set up, and the soldiers who had just been relieved of their posts lined up to receive porridge.

The steaming soup had a bitter medicinal smell.

But the soldiers all had smiles on their faces, seemingly very much looking forward to it.

"The medicinal porridge that Miss Ye had prepared is truly effective."

Lian Zhou followed Shen Yanchuan all the way, his expression one of satisfaction.

"It not only fills the stomach, but also warms the body and keeps you warm. It also helps to quickly cure some headaches and fevers."

This greatly reduced their casualties.

Winter in Beijing is the hardest to endure.

Shen Yanchuan's gaze swept over the several figures standing or crouching on the city wall, where almost two-thirds of the Beijing garrison's forces were gathered.

"How's it going at the West Gate?" he asked.

Lian Zhou's expression hardened. "The rebel army has already reached the city gates and arrived outside the main east gate. It seems that something unexpected happened to the Prince of Yannan, and he has fallen behind the rebels. It will probably take some time before he catches up..."

Boom—Bang!

A loud noise suddenly came from afar!
Shen Yanchuan immediately turned around! His gaze was fixed on the direction of the west gate!

The crowd erupted in chaos, and someone cried out in alarm—

"The city has fallen! The rebels have entered!" (End of Chapter)
