Before they could go to their respective armies, they heard shouts and cries of killing everywhere in the city, followed by thick smoke billowing in many places.
"What's going on?" Tian Zun asked angrily.
Everyone on both sides looked stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.
"What are you standing there for? Come and find out what's going on!" Tian Zun roared.
After a while, a man came running back:
"Sir, this is bad. The city's troublemakers took advantage of our battle with the rebels to attack the Hengshan County government office and set fire to our granary."
What!
Tian Zun didn't expect that there would be riots in the city. Could it be that the rebels' spies came in to incite the people to rebel?
"You must put out the fire in the granary immediately. If you can't, you'll be beheaded!"
Tian Zun yelled at a captain, who was startled and quickly gathered his guards and men to run to the county government office and granary.
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang, followed by a thunderous cry: "The door is broken, the door is broken!"
Tian Zun and a group of captains were stunned.
No one expected that the city defended by the mighty Dayin army would be captured by the rebels in this way.
"Sir, the enemy army is powerful and the city gate has been broken. We should retreat to Yuzhou first to avoid their attack and fight again on another day." A captain hurriedly advised.
Another person advised, "Yes! There's no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. It's better to preserve your strength first!"
"Retreat, sir! It will be too late if we don't retreat now!"
This group of people immediately started to persuade Tian Zun.
"Are we defeated just like that?"
Such a result was hard for him to accept.
Tian Zun's eyes were dull and he stood there with a dazed look on his face, not moving a muscle.
The shouting and screaming became louder and closer. Seeing that Tian Zun did not move, everyone looked at each other, and then they all stepped forward to grab Tian Zun and drag him away.
Tian Zun allowed himself to be dragged away by his men.
The officers left, and the soldiers had no desire to fight anymore and fled.
Those who didn't have time to escape no longer had the courage to fight. They dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender.
Hengshan City was broken, and Tian Zun's Guannei Road army was defeated!
