Chapter 684 There is another mystery
Zhao Gui stopped and looked around for a while.
"It seems that the rebel headquarters should be here, but now it's occupied by me."
As he spoke, he raised his leg and was about to step into the house.
Suddenly, a guard shouted loudly.
"No, enemy attack!"
Zhao Gui was stunned, his body stopped, and he turned his head to look around.
But in my ears I could hear the hissing sound of feathered arrows and the snapping sound of bowstrings.
"Grass!"
Zhao Gui saw countless arrows flying towards him from the corner of his eye, and he quickly rolled forward and flipped into the house.
Suddenly, countless figures appeared around this mansion, on the roof and high walls, each holding a bow and arrow, and began to shoot at this place.
Zhao Gui turned over and stood up in the house. It was now very clear that he had indeed stepped into the trap set by the rebels.
The guards in the yard all looked for places to hide from the rain of arrows.
Zhao Gui looked out the window and saw numerous rebels occupying countless roofs and walls, high and low.
"Messenger, immediately order all units to concentrate on breaking out through the west gate."
Zhao Gui shouted to the people outside through the window.
If we don't leave now, the longer we wait, the smaller our chances of breaking through will be.
He saw an opening, suddenly rushed out of the house and ran quickly towards the courtyard gate.
"Let's go, follow me and break out. Staying here means death."
There were war horses in a mess outside the yard. Some had been shot down by arrows, while others had been shot and their whereabouts were unknown.
However, there were still dozens of war horses staying outside the door obediently.
Zhao Gui randomly selected a warhorse closest to him, jumped on it, urged the horse hard, and rushed towards the west gate of the city.
The guards following behind him were all highly skilled. Those who were able to grab a war horse rode their horses and followed Zhao Gui.
Those who couldn't grab the war horses ran forward with big strides.
In short, at this time, whoever runs slowly will be unlucky.
The situation was critical, and everyone just wanted to escape, and no one cared about anyone else.
There is no doubt that Zhao Gui's martial arts skills are superb.
Arrows flew along the way, and he chopped them all with his long sword. Although this was not his usual weapon, he wielded it with ease.
The command center was less than five miles away from the west city gate. After a quick gallop of the war horses, the ruined city gate arch appeared before their eyes.
However, countless rebels were already standing in front of the city gate, with spears pointing forward.
If Zhao Gui rode his horse forward, he would definitely be pierced into a sieve.
He suddenly reined in his horse. There were no enemy soldiers on either side of the street, giving him a moment to catch his breath.
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him; it was Zhao Gui's guards catching up.
Zhao Gui glanced around and squinted his eyes to look towards the city gate.
If you can get out of the city, you can survive. If you can't get out, then there's nothing to say.
"Brothers, if you kill us, you will live, if you stay, you will die. Follow me and kill us!"
Dozens of guards gathered behind him. They took off their weapons from their horses, shouted, and urged their horses to charge towards the rebel army.
Everyone felt a little desperate. The rebel army before them must have at least eight hundred men, if not a thousand.
Facing dozens of them, it was very easy to stop them.
However, they had no way to retreat, and retreat would only lead to death.
Live towards death.
Just as the two sides were about to engage in battle, shouts of killing were heard on the streets on both sides of the city gate.
I don't know which part of the large group broke out of the encirclement and arrived at the west gate of the city.
Zhao Gui felt that the queue in front of him was in chaos, and he was bumped into the team by dozens of riders.
The long swords were flying, reaping the lives of the other side. They were fighting each other, and they didn't know where the way out was.
Anyway, everyone has only one thought in their mind: if they stop, they will be dead.
This situation is happening everywhere in the city.
The 50,000-strong Imperial Guards were divided and surrounded, with shouts of killing everywhere.
Countless soldiers were beheaded, and the bloody and brutal killings aroused everyone's brutality.
The battle lasted from the afternoon until nightfall.
Zhao Gui had no idea where he was. He only knew that he had crossed the moat and there was an endless wilderness ahead.
This also gave him hope to survive.
Without any guards around him, he rode alone and rushed into the fields.
The injured warhorse frantically squeezed out its last bit of strength and disappeared into the dark night carrying Zhao Gui.
As the night fell, in Zhao Zhen's imperial study, there was a wine glass on the desk. The light yellow wine, under the light, had an amber luster.
Zhao Zhen stared blankly at the wine glass.
Concubine Wan and Concubine Du stood on either side, serving carefully.
"What time is it?"
"Your Majesty, it is now the end of the You hour."
Concubine Du replied in a low voice.
"No news yet?"
The two concubines remained silent.
At the beginning of the afternoon today, Zhao Zhen received a battle report saying that Zhao Gui's 50,000 troops had broken into the city.
Zhao Zhen was almost overjoyed at that time, as he had just finished a nap.
Turning around, he saw Concubine Du helping him get up. He was so excited that he reached out and pulled her over, pressing her under him.
Concubine Du was also happy, because the Emperor hadn't been in this mood for a long time.
She suspected that it was because she had lost her beauty that the emperor lost his favor with her.
Who would have thought that at this moment, even before taking off her clothes, she could feel the emperor's fullness.
He quickly cooperated obediently and tried his best to make the emperor feel happier.
Unfortunately, before Concubine Du could take off her clothes, Zhao Zhen had already ejaculated and collapsed on the dragon bed.
Feeling disappointed, Concubine Du cleaned him up and helped him get up.
Zhao Zhen didn't care and waved his hand to signal Concubine Du to support him to the imperial study.
Zhao Zhen frowned and glanced at the desk.
"Why, hasn't Zhao Gui sent back any news yet?"
A young eunuch was crawling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, there is still no news from General Zhao."
Concubine Wan was also worried about the emperor's mood at this time, so she hurried to the imperial study to inquire about the news.
Several people stayed there, watching the sky gradually darken, until the night lights came on, but there was still no news.
Before it was completely dark, Lin Feng in Kancheng had already received the report from Wei Bao's cavalry.
The 50,000 imperial guards who entered Kyoto City were silent for a while.
It was not until an hour later that a large number of imperial guards rushed out of the city gate, covered in blood.
It was obvious that Zhao Gui was ambushed by the rebels.
Originally, Lin Feng was still confused. Even with the help of heavenly thunder, their troops were breaking into the city too quickly.
There are 30,000 rebels in the city. Even if their fighting power is weak, they should be able to hold out for a long time.
How come the Royal Guards were able to rush into the city so easily once the city gate was broken?
At this time, Lin Fengcai slammed the desk and understood the reason.
"It's over. Zhao Gui is in great danger."
Ju Chaoyue frowned and said, "This kid is too eager for success and will definitely fall into someone else's trap."
Wei Ming shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. Even though there's an ambush inside the city, there are 50,000 Royal Guards. How could they fail so easily?"
Zhao Shuo was also worried about his cousin's victory or defeat, so he ran to the command center early to wait for news.
At this time, he hurriedly said, "That's right, fifty thousand people, not five thousand."
Lin Feng knocked on the desk: "It seems that there is another mystery in the city."
