Chapter 2811 Entering the City
Those people sent by the Eighth Prince did not think about other people's thoughts at this time. They only saw the opened city gate. They did not know what was waiting for them inside, nor did they know which door. Will it be suddenly closed? What they have to do now is to rush in as soon as possible.
The speed of the cavalry was very fast, especially the cavalry that was sprinting with all their strength. Therefore, the team sent by the Eighth Prince for a surprise attack quickly reached the city gate, and at this time, the city gate was not closed.
It is not easy for the cavalry who have already sprinted to slow down. Therefore, the people who have already rushed here have no other choice at this time. No matter what is waiting for them in the city, there is nothing they can do at this time. , just keep rushing in.
The middle-level general at the top of the city finally knew where the bad premonition in his heart came from. Originally, he was still confused by the behavior of the cavalry when he saw them rushing to the foot of the city wall without slowing down. , laughed at their stupidity, but when he saw the cavalry passing through the city wall and entering the city without any hindrance, he realized a lot.
The city gate is opened!
Only this possibility can explain why the cavalry did not slow down when they reached the city wall. Only this reason can explain why these cavalry chose to attack the city without infantry or siege equipment.
It turns out that they have an insider! It turns out that they have already opened the city gate through internal communication!
After the middle-level general thought of this possibility, his face suddenly turned pale with fright, and he stood there blankly.
It is not surprising that people from the imperial court would sneak into the rebel army. Both Wang Cheng and other generals have thought of this possibility, because they accept all the people who come to seek refuge, regardless of whether they care about it. What he wanted was to expand his strength as quickly as possible, and this provided opportunities for the imperial court to plant spies.
However, neither Wang Cheng nor other generals took this matter too seriously. In their view, it was not a big deal for a few spies to sneak into the rebel army. The people below, they It doesn't matter. As long as they strictly control the middle-level generals and above, there will be no problem. The spies who sneak in and the positions are too low will not know much about the rebels at all, so there is no way. It plays such a big role that there is no need to worry too much.
However, no one expected that people from the imperial court who had sneaked in would actually seize the city gate under such circumstances. You must know that Wang Cheng had thought of this situation before and understood the importance of the city gate, so he The few remaining elites were left to guard the city gate in order to prevent people from the imperial court from seizing the city gate.
However, this general never thought that in this situation, the city gate could be lost. How on earth did they do it? How many people from the imperial court had sneaked into the team?
There should be a lot, otherwise, how could it be possible to seize the city gate so quickly and quietly?
Thinking of this, the middle-level general became even more afraid. If there were too many people from the imperial court in the city, and now, the imperial army from outside the city had also come in, but on their side, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were no What fighting power, then, what else can they use to resist the imperial army?
escape!
This was the first thought that came to the mind of the middle-level general after he reacted. At this time, he already felt that there was no possibility of defending the city. The only people left in the city were people with little fighting ability. These people cannot defend the city at all. What's more, they have no preparations at this time, but the enemy has been planning for a long time, and they have also entered the city.
In this case, how can we defend the city?
The generals who can be retained by Wang Cheng are obviously not very powerful people. When such people encounter danger, the first thing they think of is not to fight the enemy to the death, but to protect themselves first. People like this, In fact, there are many in the rebel army. They all joined the rebel army in order to survive. If they are asked to fight the enemy desperately, they can't do it.
This is also the reason why many people in the rebel army have little fighting ability. Unlike soldiers, they join the rebel army just to survive, rather than to follow Wang Cheng to conquer the country. Therefore, when their lives are threatened, The first thing they think of is self-protection.
Therefore, with almost no hesitation, the middle-level general turned around and left the city wall, preparing to leave before the enemy completely occupied the city. As for the increasingly chaotic people on top of the city, he was not in the mood to care about them at this time. Just do whatever you love, it has nothing to do with him.
There are many people who acted like him. After seeing the large number of cavalry outside the city entering the city, these people realized that something was wrong. I am afraid that this city cannot be defended. If Wang Cheng can still be here, Point, use his prestige to calm these people down, even if they don't have much fighting power, they are still good enough to be able to resist a little.
However, Wang Cheng was not here at this time, and some middle-level generals saw that things were not going well and ran away first. Therefore, no one stopped and suppressed these people, which resulted in the defeat of these people.
At this time, the imperial troops who entered the city also saw the corpses at the city gate. Seeing such a scene, everyone was secretly surprised. Obviously, the rebels did not arrange people to guard the city gate, but The people who were guarding the city gate were all killed by their own agents, and many of them were killed.
Obviously, the guard next to the eighth prince must have a lot of people and be very strong. Otherwise, it would not be possible so quickly.
Moreover, they captured the city gate without being noticed by the defenders on top of the city. This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
The soldiers who rushed into the city, including the two generals, really wanted to get to know the internal agents. Unfortunately, those people were not near the city gate at this time. They should have seen them rushing over after seizing the city gate. Just left early.
Moreover, now is also a critical moment of the battle. Although they have entered the city, they have not yet completely occupied the city. Therefore, their tasks have not been completed yet. Naturally, they have no time to care about other things now. As for getting to know those insiders, we can only wait for other opportunities.
