Chapter 2402: City Fall
Although she could hide it from her own people outside the city gate once the fight started, she would definitely be exposed to everyone inside the city.
Because of this, Qiao Xuan was very conflicted.
But in the end, she decided to do it.
In times of chaos and disorder, what you see may not necessarily be what you actually see, and may not necessarily be believed. When a dynasty changes, there will not be many strange and bizarre stories.
At this time, there were definitely no ordinary people at the city gate, and even fewer people would believe the words of the soldiers guarding the city.
After all, they had no evidence!
Anything without evidence is just a joke.
The city gate was quickly breached, and the Northwest Army and the Huaixi Army burst into thunderous cheers. The soldiers were in high spirits and rushed into the city shouting.
The soldiers defending the city on the city wall were stunned and horrified when they saw this, and some of them were extremely angry towards the loyal Fourth Prince!
"The Emperor doesn't know how to judge people! He doesn't know how to judge people!" They cried out to the sky in grief. The huge and heavy city gate would not have been able to be broken down so quickly without the help of someone from inside and outside!
Now that the city gates have been breached and the rebels have entered the city, what is the point of defending the city walls? The soldiers were powerless to save the situation, some fled, some scattered, and the few loyal men who remained hurriedly ran towards the direction of the palace.
In the palace, the Fourth Prince originally thought that he could at least hold out for four months to a year. He didn't believe that the Northwest Army and the Huaixi Army, who had traveled a long distance, could wait that long!
Especially the Northwest Army. If the Hu people get the news, they will definitely come to attack. At that time, even if the Northwest Army is unwilling, it will have to return.
As long as they leave, it would be a dream for Shao Yunduan to take over the capital with just the few people under his command!
By then, maybe I can fight back.
The Fourth Prince even wanted to inform the Hu people of the news that the Northwest Army had left the Northwest, so that they could lead the Northwest Army away!
Unfortunately, the capital city is currently surrounded and it is not easy for him to send people out of the city.
However, it cannot be said that there is no chance. It is impossible for a large army to be impervious to leaks when besieging a city, and it is even more impossible for them to maintain their best condition without any slackness.
After a while, he will always find an opportunity.
The fourth prince's calculations were equally loud.
But he also never expected that the capital city would be conquered so quickly!
When the Fourth Prince saw his trusted eunuch, Eunuch Li, staggering in, his heart sank, but he just thought that the war was not going well.
He laughed at himself, it was not surprising that the war was not going well.
After all, the other side’s morale is high!
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Li knelt down with a plop. He trembled all over and shivered for a long time before crying out with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the city is broken! The city is broken! The rebels are coming in! Your Majesty, let's run away! It's not too late to run away now."
It is certainly hasty and painful, but if you don't escape now, you may not have the chance in a while.
The Fourth Prince was completely dumbfounded!
"What did you say?"
"Where did this rumor come from? How is it possible!"
Even in the worst case scenario, it's impossible for the city to be breached now, right?
Eunuch Li was about to cry: "Your Majesty, how dare I make such a joke! It's true, it's true!"
The fourth prince: “.”
