The Regent's Tender Darling

"My lord, something's wrong, the rebels are rushing over from outside the city!"

Inside Xuanwumen, a defender came to report to Liu Kaixuan with a worried tone.

These words shocked Liu Kaixuan, who was already worried about how to defend the city. His hands directing the actions of others froze and froze in mid-air.

A pair of heavy eyes subconsciously looked outside the city gate.

Although I had already considered that it would be a matter of time before the rebels would come around from outside the city, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and I was completely unprepared to resist.

Now that the defenders are insufficient, they can barely hold on to the rebels in the city!

If the rebels outside the city come again at this time, then Xuanwumen will definitely not be able to defend it!

After thinking about this, Liu Kaixuan took two deep breaths, and then regained his composure. He looked at the person reporting to him with a heavy and serious look: "Old Trumpet, take people to the outer city!"

"Yes!" The man who called Lao Xiaoxiao clasped his fists and carried out the military order resolutely without any hesitation.

Liu Kaixuan stared outside the city gate. The rebels had arrived. Xuanwu Gate must be defended no matter what. If the city was broken, reinforcements would be out of reach even if they arrived in the capital.

If the rebels insist on defending the capital, there will be enough food and grass in the capital to defend the capital for two months!

Even if the reinforcements finally break through the city, the capital left by the rebels at that time will be just an abandoned city!

Without the imperial city, the world would be in chaos.

He raised his sword high and roared angrily: "Defend to death——!"

Even with that voice that could almost penetrate people's hearts, Liu Kaixuan's eyes were already scarlet red. A true man protects his family and country, why should he fear death?

Nowadays, there are only a few city gate guards, but some of them must be allocated to guard the outer gates, which naturally doubles the pressure.

What's more, there are so many rebels outside the city, they are like a pool of muddy water drowning the crowd. How can they withstand it 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 tiny dust on the ground. His eyes were wide open, and his rough hands were holding the hilt of the sword tightly.

"Old trumpet——!" Liu Kaixuan's heart sank, he couldn't hold on any longer!

Suddenly, someone at the city gate shouted: "Silver armor! Iron cavalry!"

The remaining defenders followed the shout and saw a group of cavalry galloping on the streets in the city, silver armor! Iron cavalry!

The silver torrent washed away the few remaining rebels in the city, but in an instant the rebels were about to break through and rush to the city gate.

"The fifth rider of the Ling family has been ordered to guard Xuanwu Gate!"

Looking at the torrent, Liu Kaixuan's eyes seemed to be lit with fire. He shouted excitedly: "Brothers! Open the city gate! It's the Ling family's cavalry!"

Liu Kaixuan himself was born in the Ling family's army. He had been on countless battlefields with Yan Sihan, so he naturally knew the Ling family's cavalry very well.

High horse silver armor! As long as the horse is still there, the Ling family's cavalry will be unstoppable!

The moment he saw the cavalry, Liu Kaixuan knew how he should defend the city. He concentrated all the defenders to defend the inner city, and the Ling family's cavalry went out of the city gate to charge at 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 there are.

The other city gates have been lost, and Xuanwu Gate must not be lost, otherwise even if reinforcements arrive, it will not be able to help.

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

Two or three swords cut down the nearby rebels, and five or six veterans followed closely behind. With a vigorous effort, the city gate was cleared in an instant.
