It's night.

On the east city wall, Zhang Han did not dare to take it lightly for a moment, and went out to inspect after taking a nap.

The situation of the traitor army was unknown, and the general led the army away from the city to fight alone. He had a very heavy task. Firstly, he had to take into account when the 70,000 disappeared traitor army would attack, and secondly, he had to wait for His Majesty's orders and arrest them carefully.

Judging from today's observation, these agents are active at the four major city gates more frequently, and the number of people is getting larger and larger, and their behavior is even weirder, but the guards are paying no attention to them.

This is very suspicious.

He became nervous and had a premonition that something might happen tonight.

At this time, a guard came over in a hurry, with a solemn look on his face, and he immediately greeted him.

"How is it? Does your Majesty have any wishes?"

The guard showed a bitter look, shook his head helplessly and reported: "No, the guard who went to deliver the memorial was stabbed to death by Your Majesty."

"What?" Zhang Han was shocked, "What's going on?"

It's very wrong for something like this to happen under such circumstances.

"I heard from people in the palace that Your Majesty believes that General Li leading the army out of the city is treason. General, you also wrote a memorial in the name of General Li, and you believe that this is a fact and did not issue an order."

"But" at this point, the guard stopped talking.

Zhang Han's expression changed upon hearing this, and he punched the city wall hard.

"Treason? What bastard thinks so? The general took risks in order to deal with the artillery, and he actually said it was treason. Are they blind?"

Can't control my emotions.

The guard became anxious upon hearing this, "General, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

"Still be careful what you say! The country is in danger, but evil people are causing trouble, how can I be careful what I say!" Zhang Han's voice became louder and louder, his emotions became incontinent, and the guard was so shocked that he waved his hands repeatedly.

Thinking that the guard was hesitant to speak, he asked again, "But what? Tell me quickly."

The guard looked around and lowered his voice, "But I heard from people in the palace that Your Majesty wants to capture General Li."

"Capture the general in front of the formation, are they crazy?" Zhang Han did not hide his words, and punched the city wall again. His anger could no longer be suppressed, "I want to face the saint, I want to question him face to face."

He is impatient, how can he endure such absurd things?

He pushed the guard away and wanted to leave angrily.

The guard was so anxious that he stopped in front of Zhang Han and said anxiously: "General, no, you must not!"

"Your Majesty is so angry that the general's departure will only make things worse. Moreover, the general is facing a powerful enemy and cannot leave. Otherwise, the city will be destroyed and the country will perish."

Zhang Han stood still, suppressing the anger in his heart.

The guard was right. Now that the general is gone, he is the only one who can shoulder the responsibility of guarding. If he makes any mistakes again, Xianyang will be destroyed, and by then the Qin Dynasty will be in ruins.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but if the city is destroyed, he will become a sinner through the ages.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Han ran out of ideas.

The thief army may appear from all directions at any time, and if the thief army is careful, they may launch an attack on the city gate at any time. If they don't take action at this moment, even if he is there, the city still cannot be defended.

"How about we take action without authorization and capture all the people involved." The guard was calm and came up with an idea.

Zhang Han gave the guard a steady look and clenched his fists fiercely, "Damn it, I'm going to risk it all. That's it. I'll see if the guard can protect these details."

"Assemble a thousand troops immediately and capture them."

Zhang Han led the guards away.

What Zhang Han didn't know was that after he left, a man appeared from a corner. This man was wearing the uniform of a city defense soldier, but he had a sinister face.

Soon, he also left quietly.

In Zhangtai Palace, the Taiwei was sitting unsteadily, looking nervous, as if he was worried about the war. Suddenly, he stood up and raised his hands to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the ministers responsible for the city defense are really worried and would like to personally set up the city head to supervise the battle."

As a Taiwei, in charge of military affairs, you can supervise battles for them.

Ying Zheng and Feng Quji looked at each other, nodded to each other, and waved, "Yes! We must guard the city wall."

"No!" The Taiwei cupped his hands and left quickly.

After the Taiwei's back disappeared, Ying Zheng and Feng Quji's expressions became solemn.

Feng Quji walked over quietly and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Let the guards take action immediately."

"No!" Feng Quji took the order and walked quietly in the other direction.

After everything calmed down, Ying Zheng's tyrannical eyes softened, and he sighed, "Li Zhao, Li Zhao, you can't blame me, I have no choice but to do this, even if Xianyang City can survive the current situation, it will not be able to survive."

After it can no longer be carried, the gang members of the rebel army must be eliminated."

"Of course! After this matter is over, I will personally apologize for you."

As a king of a country, it is really rare for him to say this.

outside the city.

Several black figures were like nightingales, sneaking under the invisible night. They were very fast, their eyes glowed with nightlight, and they were swimming around.

In a dense forest, a man whose clothes could not be seen clearly was taking off his bottle to drink water. A horse stood aside, maybe tired, panting heavily, lowering its head and blowing its nose.

At this moment, he felt the figure shaking and shouted.

"who?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, a long sword pierced his body and he fell to the ground with a groan.

The dark shadows left, leaving only the horse skipping in the dark night.

Scenes like this happen in many places. A horse is abandoned in the wilderness. If Zhang Han were here, he would definitely recognize these horses as the horses of the military scouts. Unfortunately, while the horses are there, the scouts are already angry.

Absolutely.

Tens of feet away from the west gate of Xianyang and in front of the south gate, rows of people and horses quietly appeared. The horses were specially harnessed to prevent them from neighing.

It was hard to see exactly how many people there were in the dark night, but judging from the heavy shadows in the dim light, they were densely packed.

"General, we are ready and waiting for your order."

Among the figures, a man dressed in silk but unable to hide his peasant aura was looking steadily at the city gate with a vague smile on his lips.

"Yes! Wait for the city gate to open and then listen to my orders. The cavalry will open the way and the archers will be ready to go."

"It's understandable that you don't leave any armor behind after entering the city."

"Understand!"

The same scene also happened at the south gate. The leader was Jia Xiong. At this moment, he was staring closely at the city gate. A smile flashed across his lips and he whispered: "Xianyang, I, Jia Xiong, am back again. Ying Zheng will be here soon."

Your death date."

The four city gates are tall and majestic, and look solid and solid. The gates are made of iron and are extremely thick. It is impossible to defeat them without sharp weapons.

At this moment, the defenders were standing tall, with eyes wide open and extremely vigilant.

There were twice as many defenders as usual, and the swords were clearly in their hands, ready to fight at any time.

During the crisis, a curfew was implemented at night, and there was no one on the street. Only the shadows of the trees swayed under the weak lights, but it could not break the deserted atmosphere.

Suddenly, several people walked over crookedly. Under the light, their shadows were very long.

A closer look revealed that these people smelled of alcohol and were stumbling towards the defenders, their faces red to the neck.

"Who is it? Stop."

When the defenders saw this, they shouted loudly.

"Master Jun, I'm a young man. I forgot that I gave you a lot of money during the day." One of them was probably drunk and spoke without any concealment.

Upon hearing this, the defenders quickly stepped forward to support him and silence him.

"Haha! I understand, I understand."

The defender straightened his expression and continued to shout: "During the curfew, please leave as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." While saying this, he also pushed the man to tell him to leave quickly.

But the man did not leave. Instead, he came forward under the influence of alcohol. What the defenders didn't know was that the man was holding a bright dagger in his hand, which was extremely sharp.

"Master, you have worked hard, I will die for you."

As the word "death" came out, the man suddenly appeared fiercely and thrust his dagger into the defender's abdomen.

Bah!

After the sword entered his body, the defenders reacted, but only with horrified eyes and speechless words.

"Enemy attack."

"What?" The defenders reacted and turned pale with fright. They all raised their weapons and rushed forward to kill several people.

However, the next moment, there was a shaking in the darkness, and more than twenty men in black rushed out. Their movement skills were quite good. In a few seconds, they were in front of the defenders. The broken sword entered their bodies, and they tried to scream, but they were stopped.

The man in black quickly covered his head.

However, there were still defenders who were not attacked and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack"

"Go to hell!" The man in black moved very quickly. He threw his dagger and hit his throat, killing the defender immediately.

"Open the city gate quickly!"

There were men in black who moved very quickly and rushed towards the city gate.

However, the sound had already spread, and at this moment, a large number of city defense troops suddenly poured out from three sides, with long swords in their hands and eyes like eagles, rushing towards them.

"Stop them quickly and don't let them open the city gate." The shouter was none other than Zhang Han. As soon as he heard the word "enemy attack", he immediately led the army.

The first one rushed forward, swung his long sword, and slashed at a man in black. The man in black was very skilled and retreated in a hurry, but missed the opportunity to open the city gate.

At this time, several more men in black came and besieged Zhang Han together. However, when they heard a low cry of "Here we come," they immediately stopped what they were doing, stepped aside, and their attitude became respectful.

Zhang Han didn't know why they were acting like this, but he didn't think much about it. The man in black stopped taking action, and when he did, he would stab one of them with one move of his long sword.

But, at this moment, an angry voice came from the avenue.

"Zhang Han rebels, capture him immediately."

Zhang Han was startled and looked around. Even with the dim light, he could clearly see the person coming. This person was none other than Lang Zhongling, leading hundreds of guards behind him. He was raising his bow and arrow, aiming at this place.

"You must give up your weapons immediately, or you will be killed without mercy."

The doctor, riding on a tall horse, ordered the soldiers who were fighting with the men in black.

The soldiers looked at each other and then looked at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han secretly thought it was not good, but tried his best to keep calm.

Looking around at the man in black who was still respectful, he knew that he had fallen into a trap.

This was a series of tricks, but he bumped into it without thinking. At this moment, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to escape it.

He secretly thought that he was really too negligent. He must have been discovered by Lang Zhongling during the surveillance for the past few days. He also expected that he would come to stop the man in black, which was why he was in the current situation.

Yes, this is exactly Lang Zhongling's serial plan.

The men in black killed the defenders first. If Zhang Han did not show up, they would succeed and open the city gate to let the rebels in. If Zhang Han came out to stop them, Lang Zhongling would appear in time and be punished for rebellion.

As for why the man in black suddenly became respectful after Lang Zhongling appeared, maybe he wanted to put the blame on Zhang Han.

"Mr. Zhongling, what do you mean? There are villains who want to open the city gate to lure the enemy. If I kill them, how can they rebel?" Zhang Han retorted, saying that he could not be wronged for no reason.

"You are still arguing that the defenders have been killed by you, so what else is there to say?" Lang Zhongling said with a sinister smile, and with a wave of his hand, the archers immediately surrounded Zhang Han and others.

"Nonsense, the defenders were killed by men in black, and you came just to stop them." A soldier said unhappily.

Lang Zhongling glared at the soldier fiercely, jumped forward and stabbed the soldier, knocking him to the ground.

"When to speak of a soldier?"

Zhang Han was furious, his sword trembled, and he bullied himself to kill him.

At this moment, there was a whizzing sound around Tu Di's body, which was exactly a dozen arrows.

He quickly blocked and retreated quickly.

"Jie Jie, Zhang Han, stop struggling in vain. My five hundred guards have all seen you trying to open the city gate to lure the enemy. Just be obedient and capture you!"

Zhang Han stared at Lang Zhongling, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly. It was useless for him to say anything at this moment. Lang Zhongling intended to put the blame on him, and he couldn't explain it clearly with a thousand words.

"I want to see His Majesty."

"Meet His Majesty? Do you still want to assassinate His Majesty? I'm here. Stop dreaming. Quickly put down your weapons and capture him, otherwise you will be shot to death by random arrows."

Zhang Han was a general in front of the battle. Lang Zhongling had the authority to arrest him, but had no authority to deal with his life or death. However, there was one person who was different, that is, the Taiwei.

The Taiwei is ordered to supervise the battle. In the presence of a powerful enemy, the rebels can be killed first and then punished.

Zhang Han's expression changed again and again, forcing himself to calm down.

Lang Zhongling clearly wants to capture him, but he cannot be captured. If he is captured, the city gate will definitely be opened by him, and then the bandits will pour in, and the consequences will be disastrous.

At present, the only way to stop Lang Zhongling is to mobilize the soldiers on the city wall, but the soldiers are all on the city wall, and the gate is several feet high. The fear for the past few days has already made them tired. Even if he gives the order now, he may not be able to attract soldiers.

But as soon as they give the order, they will definitely attract the bows and arrows of the guards, and they will definitely die.

However, the current situation does not allow him to think too much. Even if he dies, he must attract soldiers on the city wall to prevent Lang Zhongling from opening the city gate.

"The escort is listening to the order." He had 200 people with him, about ten of whom were his escort. "Use my token to mobilize the army to kill Lang Zhongling."

"Quickly go, I will take care of you."

"Others, protect the escort team and leave quickly."

At this moment, Zhang Han moved, stretched out his hand to throw out the token, held his long sword in front of him, and led his soldiers back.

One of the guards took the token, but was shocked and shouted: "General, no, you have to leave if you want, we are at the rear."

"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. No matter what, we must guard the city gate and never let Lang Zhongling succeed." Zhang Han shouted and killed a man in black who was still standing respectfully aside with a sword, and then quickly

Holding his body in front of him, he moved back.

"Looking for death!" The doctor became angry when he saw this, with a sinister look on his face, "Fire the arrow!"

But, just at this moment, a voice came.

"Wait!"
Chapter completed!
