Xiao Zimu stood on the city tower. The sun had not risen yet, but the air was already filled with the chill of dawn. Xiao Mubai really didn't come, and Xiao Zimu's heart sank.
Yesterday, when he heard from Zhao Xingwen that Xiao Mubai had entrusted all the military power in his hands to him and that he would be in charge of tomorrow's war, Xiao Zimu stopped looking for Xiao Mubai.
Since Xiao Mubai had already explained all this, he naturally had his reasons, but he was used to fighting side by side with him in the past few days and could not see his figure, so he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
At this time, Xiao Mubai, who had disappeared from the sight of everyone in the palace, was pulling Xia Chu on the pavilion of Yongxin Palace.
"Are you really just sitting here?" Xia Chu even tilted his head as he spoke, showing a bit of disbelief.
"The view here is very good, and you can see the situation outside clearly. Don't stand there, come and sit down." Xiao Mubai patted the stone bench next to him. It was covered with soft cushions, so that he would not sit down again. Cold and hard.
"Can you sit here with peace of mind and not give orders?" Xia Chu sounded suspicious. As he walked towards him, he frowned and asked: "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Yesterday, Xia Chu seriously thought at first that due to the high pressure and repeated battle situations in the past few days, he would soon be able to defend his position and see the moonlight.
It happened that at this time, Shi Jiajun was welcomed and his mind was shaken. He couldn't bear the blow, so he wanted to find a place to hide.
But right now, it's clearly not the case.
Xiao Mubai's face was calm and his demeanor was calm. He even had the leisure to make tea early in the morning and use pastries in an elegant mood. He didn't look at all worried about the imminent destruction of the city.
"Elixir." Xiao Mubai couldn't help but put a piece of pastry into his mouth.
Xia Chu frowned while chewing, looking very dissatisfied.
"Didn't you say yesterday that there were heavenly soldiers and generals? What's wrong with me having the elixir?" Xiao Mubai pushed another cup of tea to him for fear that he would choke.
"I was just talking nonsense..." Xia Chu hadn't swallowed the cake in her mouth yet, so her words were a little unclear.
Xiao Mubai was amused by his appearance. He held his forehead and looked at him for a long time. His eyes held two bright points of light under the glazed lamp and looked at him continuously.
Just when Xia Chu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him and was about to say that he was being cryptic, Xiao Mubai suddenly looked away.
Day, finally broke.
The cloudless light blue sky enveloped the earth like a dome, and the morning glow in the east filled the sky. Xiao Mubai's cold voice suddenly said: "Let you hide me and give them a miracle."
The garrison on the city tower was preparing for a desperate fight. Zhao Xingwen turned over the military flag in his hand and made various commands. Gu Shirou stood on the Danfeng Palace gate with a long whip, ready to jump down from the rebels to find Cheng Zhaobing's head. .
The loud horn echoed outside the city in an instant. Just as Xiao Mubai expected yesterday, it was Shi Jialiang in the north of the city who sounded the signal to start a war with Zhao Jiajun.
Shi Fuqiu only had a few soldiers guarding the three city gates in the southeast and west. The rest of the army gathered on Sifang Street. When dawn confirmed that General Zhao had chosen to fight Shi Jialiang, he marched into the street with his troops. Hundreds of thousands of troops marched straight towards the imperial city.
At this moment... it's dawn!
Xia Chu was still wondering, what did Xiao Mubai mean
Shi Fuqiu's order to attack the city came from the other side of Sifang Street, and the horses' hooves rushed towards the imperial city like thunder.
Zhao Xingwen looked at the crowds of people rushing towards him, thinking in his heart that even if the city was destroyed, he had to die a worthy death, and he couldn't let these bastards get away with it.
It is really no wonder that he is determined to die. Although the Imperial City has been attacked countless times in recent days, the situation has never been as severe as today.
Although there was an army of 180,000 that pressed on the city at first, the army then attacked the nine gates separately, trying to suppress the people with dignity.
Now, Shi Fuqiu has suffered enough from showing off and is on the verge of losing his place.
The imperial city has experienced a bloody storm for several days, and today it is feared that it will no longer be able to withstand the tragedy of the rebel invasion.
Just when Gu Shirou had jumped off the tower and the rebel cavalry was about to arrive in front of the Danfeng Palace gate, someone from the garrison on the west gate suddenly shouted in fear: "King Mo's Army!"
Shifuchule stopped his horse, and Xia Chu also turned his head at the same moment. The garrison on the imperial city had been concentrating on the incoming rebels, and even Xiao Zimu was surprised by the sound. Looking to the west.
At this sight, the rebels all exclaimed, but the people in the imperial city cried with joy.
The red military flag of King Mo was flying freely under the brilliant morning sun.
So shocking!
That's so scary!
"Where did King Mo's army come from?" Shi Fuqiu was a little angry.
Previously in Chang'an, Xiao Mubai suddenly attacked 20,000 King Mo's troops, forcing him to retreat from the city. That time, he had already lost face!
But Xiao Mubai only had 40,000 King Mo's troops in total. They were all dead and wounded. Where could King Mo's troops come from? Moreover, with the huge army pressing down on them, from a distance, there must be at least 100,000. .
This is really crazy. Apart from his sister, are everyone else in Xiao country also crazy
"The Mo King's army led by His Highness King Mo himself!" A garrison in the sentry house in the west of the city crawled out and shouted in terror at the rebels.
Shi Fuqiu frowned and ordered Cheng Zhaobing to quickly divide his troops to defend the city. He turned his horse and headed towards the west gate with his whip raised.
Xia Chu looked far away, looking at the soldier who had left the sentry house. He was as far away as a black dot, and he could only see his large movements clearly.
However, after his exclamation, many rebels clung to the west city gate to take a closer look, and then the sounds of "His Royal Highness King Mo led King Mo's army to return to attack" one after another never stopped.
Xia Chu looked to the west in confusion, and even pricked his ears. Did he hear wrongly
What that person shouted was, His Highness King Mo is leading the troops
Isn't His Highness King Mo... right beside him
Xia Chu then turned around and looked at Xiao Mubai in confusion, seeing that the old god was there, and saw that he looked calm.
"The heavenly soldiers and generals you mentioned are the miracles I gave you."
Xia Chu only saw his clear and clear eyes looking straight over. Those phoenix eyes were twinkling, which made Xia Chu's breath stagnant. He even forgot to ask what was going on.
At this time, Gu Shirou was still standing in front of the Danfeng Palace. He was holding his whip and moving forward, but Shi Fuqiu inexplicably reined in his horse. After the noise, the entire team withdrew.
Gu Shirou was stunned until she heard Zhao Xingwen shouting from the tower: "King Mo's reinforcements! The reinforcements have returned to Beijing!"
Gu Shirou just flew up to the tower again, and only when she saw King Mo's military flag flying in the west did she join the shouts on the tower with a look of joy.
