One of the attendants whispered, "It's near Hanyang Gate!"

"What?"

Jin Tai's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Prince Xin's army to arrive so quickly.

Moreover, the attack was launched under the cover of night.

Fortunately, preparations had already begun during the day.

The city's garrison, including police officers, palace guards, and even some able-bodied young men, were all brought to the city walls to defend the city.

There are now thirty to forty thousand people on the walls of the Silla capital!

Thanks to its strong city defenses, the capital of Silla was able to hold out!

With this thought in mind, Prime Minister Kim Tae calmed down once again.

He said, "Immediately take one million strings of cash from the palace, the prime minister's residence, and the imperial treasury!"

As long as you defend the capital and kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with one hundred strings of cash!

Kill three enemies, and you'll be promoted one rank!

Tell the soldiers that the imperial court will be generous with rewards for their successful defense of the city!

"yes!"

The attendant quickly responded and relayed the order to the garrison troops on each city wall.

At the same time, people began withdrawing money from the royal palace, the prime minister's residence, and the imperial granary.

Baskets of coins were carried to the city wall to inspire the soldiers on the front lines.

Prime Minister Kim Tae hoped that these coins would inspire the soldiers' determination to fight the enemy and defend the city.

However, what Prime Minister Kim Tae was unaware of was that at that very moment, a large army of Prince Shin was advancing rapidly within the capital city.

Meanwhile, at Hanyang Gate, the southern gate of the Silla capital on which he had placed such high hopes, the flags on the city walls had already changed hands!
