Universe Storage Box

The men sent by the Eighth Prince will not think of anyone else at this time. Their eyes were only focused on the opened city gate. They did not know what was waiting for them inside. They also did not know if the gate would be closed all of a sudden. What they needed to do now was to rush in as soon as possible.    

    

The cavalry was very fast, especially the cavalry that was charging at full speed. As such, the group sent by the Eighth Prince to launch a surprise attack soon arrived at the city gate. At this moment, the city gate wasn't closed.    

    

It was not easy for the cavalry that had already charged to reduce their speed. Thus, the people who had rushed here at this time - They had no other choice. No matter what was waiting for them in the city... The only thing they could do now was to continue rushing inside.    

    

The middle ranking general on top of the city wall finally knew. Where did that bad premonition come from? Originally... When he saw the cavalry charge to the foot of the city wall without slowing down... They were still trying to confuse their actions, mocking their stupidity... However, when he saw the cavalry passing through the wall without any resistance... After entering the city, he realized something.    

    

The city gates were opened!    

    

Only this possibility could explain why the cavalry did not slow down when they reached the city walls. Only this could explain why the cavalry chose not to have infantry. Without siege weapons.    

    

It turned out that they had spies! It turned out that they had already opened the city gate through the spies!    

    

When this middle-ranked general thought of this possibility, his face instantly turned pale, and he stood there in a daze.    

    

It was not strange that the people of the Rebellion Army would sneak into the imperial court. Whether it was Wang Cheng or the other generals, they had all thought of this possibility. Because they did not care about those who came to seek refuge. They had accepted all of them in order to increase their strength as soon as possible. This gave the Imperial Court a chance to plant spies.    

    

However, whether it was Wang Cheng or the other generals, they did not take this matter seriously. In their opinion, there were a few spies in the Rebellion Army. It wasn't a big deal. The people below... They could ignore them as long as they were in the middle ranks or above. There won't be any problems with strict control. The spies who had snuck in were too low-ranked to know much about the Rebellion Army. Thus, they wouldn't be able to play a big role, so there was naturally no need to worry too much.    

    

However, no one would have thought that the people of the imperial court who had sneaked in... One had to know that... Wang Cheng had thought of this situation before, and he understood the importance of the city gates. That was why the few elites that were left behind... They were all left behind to guard the city gates to prevent the Imperial Court from seizing it.    

    

However, this general had never expected that the city gates would fall under such circumstances. How did they do it? How many people from the Imperial Court had infiltrated the troops?    

    

There should be many of them, right? Otherwise, how could they have been so fast? Moreover, how could they have quietly seized the city gates?    

    

When he thought of this, the mid-ranked general became even more afraid. If there were too many people from the imperial court in the city... And now... The imperial army outside the city had also entered. And on their side... There were only some old, weak, sick, and disabled people. They did not have any combat strength at all. Then, what could they use to defend against the imperial court's army?    

    

Flee!    

    

This was the first thought that surfaced in the middle-ranked general's mind after he reacted. At this moment, he already felt that there was no possibility of guarding this city. Those who remained in the city were all people who did not have much combat strength. Just these people alone would not be able to defend the city at all. Besides, they had not made any preparations yet. The enemy had been planning for a long time, and they had even entered the city.    

    

Under such circumstances, how could they defend the city?    

    

A general who was left behind by Wang Cheng was obviously not a very powerful figure. When such a person encountered danger, the first thing he thought of was... It wasn't a battle to the death with the enemy, but to protect himself first. Such a person... There were many people in the Rebellion Army. They had joined the Rebellion Army because they wanted to live. They couldn't risk their lives against their enemies.    

    

This was also the reason why many of the people in the Rebellion Army didn't have any combat strength. They were different from the soldiers. They joined the Rebellion Army to live, not to fight alongside Wang Cheng. Therefore, when their lives were threatened, the first thing they thought of was... It's self-defense.    

    

And because of this, without any hesitation, the middle ranked general... He turned around and left the city, preparing to leave before the enemy took over the city. As for the chaotic crowd on the city wall, he was in no mood to care. They could do whatever they wanted, it had nothing to do with him.    

    

There were many people who did the same. When they saw the large number of cavalry entering the city, they realized that things were not good. They were afraid that this city would not be able to hold on any longer. If Wang Cheng was here, it would be better to use his prestige. He wanted these people to calm down, even if they didn't have any combat strength. However, he could still resist a little.    

    

However, Wang Cheng wasn't present at the moment. Some of the middle ranking officers even saw that the situation wasn't good, so they ran away first. Therefore, no one stopped them. Suppressing these people had caused these people to be defeated.    

    

At this time, the imperial army that entered the city also saw the corpses at the city gate. Everyone was secretly shocked when they saw this scene. It was obvious that the rebel army had arranged for people to guard the city gates. However, the people guarding the city gates had all been killed by the spies on their side. Furthermore, quite a number of them had been killed.    

    

It was obvious that the spy mentioned by the guard beside the Eighth Prince... There should be quite a number of them, and they were extremely strong. Otherwise... It was impossible for them to be so fast. Furthermore, they were in a situation where the defending troops on the city wall did not notice. Seizing the city gates, this was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.    

    

The soldiers who charged into the city, including the two generals... They really wanted to get to know the insiders, but unfortunately... Those people were not near the city gate, probably after seizing the city gate. Seeing that they had already rushed over, they left ahead of time.    

    

Furthermore, this was also the crucial moment of the battle. Although they had entered the city, however, they had yet to completely occupy the city. Therefore, their mission had yet to be completed. Now, they naturally had no time to care about other matters. As for getting to know the insiders... They could only wait for other opportunities.
