By chance, the Shence Sect was infiltrated like a sieve by the Wu army's spy system. It is true that the generals of the Taiping Army guarding the Shence Sect were scrambling to rebel and surrender to the enemy. However, Li Xiucheng had already predicted that the Wu army was ready to take action in the northwest of Nanjing City. The elite forces and mobile troops of the Taiping Army were arranged and deployed for the battlefields of Xiaguan and Shence Sect. Therefore, whether the Wu army could use the power of the Taiping Army traitors to break the city in one fell swoop, and whether the Taiping Army could block the loophole of the Shence Sect in time and kill the Taiping Army traitors who were scattered and killed each other by chance was an unknown number from the beginning to the end. The Wu army dared not say that they were sure to win, and the Taiping Army could not say that they had lost.

So, we have to look back at the situation of Li Xiucheng and Wu Chaoyue.

Let’s take a look at the situation on Li Xiucheng’s side. To be honest, Li Xiucheng was not only prepared for the huge changes at night at Shence Gate, but also prepared quite sufficiently. First, the Wu army had already made a feint attack on Longbo. Li Xiucheng, who was expected to attack the northwest of Nanjing, had already confirmed that the Wu army’s attack was within one or two days. Second, Li Xiucheng carefully studied the Wu army’s combat habits and knew that every time the Wu army fought, he would either take action secretly in the middle of the night or use artillery fire during the day to open a road to the city under the city, and then make real efforts at night. Therefore, the Taiping Army in the northwest of Nanjing had already prepared enough torches and dry food and other night battles, and also had a special response army to wait for the battle and was always ready to go to the city wall battlefield to participate in the emergency.

Of course, Li Xiucheng also made a serious mistake, that is, Xuanzhang's loyal godson Li Rongfa should not have been summoned to meet his prince Zhong's mansion in the evening, and accidentally missed the opportunity to learn about Wu Jianying's rebellion as soon as possible. The reason why Li Xiucheng suddenly summoned Li Rongfa was also very annoying, because Li Rongfa's soldiers were occasionally illegal and had conflicts with the Nanjing Taiping Army under Qin Rigang. The narrow-minded Qin Rigang sued Li Xiucheng again. Li Xiucheng, who was unwilling to have conflicts with friendly forces in Nanjing, called Li Rongfa to scold him, and forced Li Rongfa to restrain military discipline and strictly handle the soldiers under him who were provoking trouble.

"You say yourself, are your people doing the right thing today or not? Your soldiers left their posts without permission and went to Xuanwu Lake to catch fish. The people of the King of Yan found an obstacle. Not only did they not listen, they also curse and fight, but they also fired guns at the King of Yan and almost caused a life! How do you usually discipline the soldiers? Do you think this is Suzhou and Hangzhou, and with me protecting and spoiling, your people can do whatever they want? This is Tianjing, the capital of our heaven. If things get bigger, I can't protect you!"

Even when it was getting dark, Li Xiucheng, who was still angry, was still scolding his adopted son, but Li Rongfa was depressed and repeatedly admitted his mistakes, but Li Xiucheng still refused to give in and scolded: "Also, I have never had time to settle the matter with you the day before yesterday. Wu Jianying and Song Tianfu were drinking in the camp. How did you know? Did you send someone to secretly monitor Wu Jianying? Who gave you the power to put eyeliners around Wu Jianying?"

"Enjoyed father, I'm wronged, I didn't." Li Rongfa quickly called for justice and said, "That thing was discovered by the people of Shuntianyi. The people of Shuntianyi found that Xu Lianfang had left his post without permission and quietly ran to Wu Jianying to drink. Then he found that Song Tianfu not only went with him, but also went together, so I went with Shuntianyi to settle accounts with Wu Jianying."

"Who told you to take care of this matter?" Li Xiucheng was even more angry when he heard this and shouted: "Shun Tianyi is a military supervisor. He is justified in charge of this matter. You are neither a military supervisor nor a boss of Wu Jianying and Chen Defeng. Why do you do this matter? Do you think you have too few enemies? Wu Jianying has already whispered to you and will not let him go. He also wants to make enemies with Chen Defeng? Chen Defeng has provoked you. You don't like Wu Jianying, why should you pull him into the water?"

Li Rongfa lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Fortunately, Li Xiucheng was not too reluctant. He scolded Li Rongfa a few more words and said, "Go back and deal with the soldiers you committed today, and come to the King of Yan to ask for a crime tomorrow. Forget this matter. Be sincere when apologizing, King of Yan is your elder and can bear your great gift."

Li Rongfa agreed timidly and quickly offered to say goodbye in order to avoid being scolded. However, seeing the beloved adopted son Li Rongfa's humble appearance, Li Xiucheng suddenly felt soft and waved his hand and said, "Don't leave now. I have too much work. We both haven't had dinner together for a while. Let's have a dinner with me before going back."

Hearing this, Li Rongfa knew that his adoptive father's anger had subsided, so he quickly agreed happily. Li Xiucheng ordered people to prepare meals. While having dinner with his adopted son, he reminded Li Rongfa to prepare for night defense and always prevent the Wu army from sending troops to attack the city walls. At the same time, considering the military situation, Li Xiucheng urged Li Rongfa to return to the camp after hurriedly finished dinner. Li Rongfa agreed and was about to get up and say goodbye to leave, but he never thought that at this moment, Wang Zhaoqiang's affairs came and Song Yongqi suddenly came to report that Wang Zhaoqiang was killed by an assassin on his way south to inform the city. Before his death, he could not reveal the name of the collusion traitor.

"The assassin escaped to the direction of Long Neck? Impossible! The brigade coach named Wang Zhaoqiang is stationed in the western section of Shencemen. Even if he finds that the traitor is not in Shencemen or Xiaguan, the assassin who killed him is running towards Long Neck is definitely just a fool, hoping that we can think that the traitor is out of Long Neck! In fact, the traitor must be in Xiaguan or Shencemen! It is also most likely that he is out of Shencemen!"

Song Yongqi really underestimated his brother-in-law's ability to distinguish and judge. Just after hearing the assassination of Wang Zhaoqiang by Song Yongqi's foolishness, Li Xiucheng saw through his brother-in-law Song Yongqi's intentional misleading at first sight, and immediately came up with a correct conclusion and shouted to Li Rongfa: "Rongfa, the traitor may be anxious to jump over the wall. Take my token and return to Liuxiang immediately and take your army to the Shence Gate to help with defense! No matter who has any abnormal movement, kill it immediately. I will let you take action first and then report!"

Li Rongfa agreed and rushed out of the door after Li Xiucheng's order, hurried back to Liuxiang to organize the army to the city. Li Xiucheng kept calling orders and sent people to Yifengmen Street on the spot, asking Ji Qingyuan, the confidant general who led the army to immediately send troops to the city to prevent possible traitors from jumping over the wall and taking the opportunity to attack the city. At the same time, he sent someone to order Wu Ruxiao, Huang Chongfa, Yuan Dehou and Fang Haizong and other generals to let the mobile response troops they led gather Hou's orders and ready to reinforce the wall sections that may have been missed at any time. In addition, he sent people to contact Chen Decai, the general guarding the Longbo battlefield, as well as Meng Shiyong and Qin Rigang, who commanded the Nanjing Taiping Army, so that their troops would also be fully alert.

It was when Li Xiucheng finished promulgating all the orders and sat down for a while, Song Yongqi, who had long been malicious, came to Li Xiucheng and whispered: "King Zhong, I don't know whether to say it or not. Now the people in Tianjing are panic, and those with different ambitions are like crucian carp crossing the river. We can be guarded once and cannot be guarded forever. If there is something wrong suddenly, and the demon soldiers are killed into the city, what should we do?"

"What to do? Cool!" Li Xiucheng said angrily: "If the demon soldiers really enter the city, they will either fight to the end with the demon soldiers, or they will protect the king to break through the siege, otherwise what else can they do?"

"Zhong Qiansui, what should you do with your mother and wife and children?" Song Yongqi asked again, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, she is so old and has worked hard to pull you up. My nephew, your son is only seven years old. Do you also ask them to fight to the death with the demon soldiers? In the rain of bullets, can we take them to break through with them?"

Thinking of his biological mother who had worked hard to pull himself up, and his beloved son Li Xuefu, Li Xiucheng felt a sudden heart. But after thinking about it again, Li Xiucheng shook his head and said, "Let's talk about these things slowly. The most important thing tonight is to guard the city first and find out the traitor. Oh, by the way, Yongqi, didn't you help Rong Fa in military affairs? Why haven't you returned to help Rong Fa? Quick..."

"Boom!"

It was also coincidental that Li Xiucheng just remembered to urge Song Yongqi to return to Li Rongfa's camp, and a loud roar came from the north. Although Wu army's artillery exploded from the northeast direction from time to time, Li Xiucheng, who was old at the battlefield, immediately heard the source of the sound when he heard the sound, and his face changed color and said, "No, it's the direction of Shence Gate and Xiaguan! Something really happened there!"

Song Yongqi didn't say anything, but hurriedly huddled aside and waited for the opportunity to continue persuading Li Xiucheng to be a traitor with him. Li Xiucheng also indeed threw the matter of urging Song Yongqi to leave behind and immediately shouted: "Send an order, the whole city is martial law! Ask all the generals of the Central Army to go to the order of the marquis of the Zhong Prince's Mansion! Contact Ji Qingyuan, Wu Jianying and Li Rongfa, and ask them to prepare more messengers and report the situation in the northwest at all times!"

He also shouted here, and Li Xiuchengcai suddenly shook his whole body. He suddenly remembered the details that the whistleblower Wang Zhaoqiang was Wu Jianying's general. He immediately thought about it and said in his heart: "No, can't Wu Jianying be a traitor? He once left my army for the time being, and after he came back, I asked him to continue leading troops. Isn't it too uncaution?"

The answer was soon revealed. When Li Shuxiang and the generals of the central army came to Li Xiucheng one after another to obey the orders, not much time passed, a Pegasus came to Liuxiang to report that Wu Jianying suddenly led an army to the Shence Gate. Li Xiucheng was furious when he heard this and shouted: "Wu Jianying! Dog thief! I trust you so much and ask you to lead the troops again. You dare to betray me! Betray the Kingdom of Heaven!"

"What happened to that explosion?" Li Shuxiang was more careful and asked the messenger who came to report the message: "Also, are there any demon soldiers outside the city to respond?"

"I don't know." The messenger who came to report the message said: "The young man rode a horse and walked out of Liuxiang, and then he heard a sudden explosion behind him. He vaguely saw a chaos in Wu Jianying's Zhongjun camp. As for whether there were monster soldiers outside the city to respond, we had not yet confirmed."

"Strange thing, why did you first discover that Wu Jianying went to Shence Sect and then exploded?"

Li Shuxiang smelled something wrong, but fortunately the answer was quickly solved. Before ten minutes had passed, Li Rongfa's garrison on Liuxiang came to report another Pegasus report, saying that it was discovered that Wu Jianying's army was in conflict. Wu Jianying's general Fang Youcai suddenly led his troops into Wu Jianying's central army camp. He also confirmed that Fang Youcai's army entered Wu Jianying's central army camp, and violent explosion occurred in Wu Jianying's central army camp. Li Xiucheng was of course very happy when he heard this and applauded: "Okay, the Kingdom of Heaven is still a lot of loyalty. Fang Tianyan eliminated the traitors for the country. As long as he succeeded, I will never treat him badly!"

The cruel facts quickly swelled Li Xiucheng's middle-aged uncle's face. As the meteor scouts continued to report, Li Xiucheng and others, including Song Yongqi, who was also a traitor, gradually discovered that not only Wu Jianying might be a traitor traitor, Fang Youcai might be a traitor traitor, Liu Yulin might be a traitor traitor, but also Xu Lianfang, the goalkeeper of Shence Sect, who was affiliated with the Nanjing Taiping Army, was also a traitor traitor, and the leader of the traitor 25zi, was a traitor traitor!

"What's wrong with Shence Sect? What's wrong? How come there are so many traitors and traitors? How come there are so many demon soldiers and spies? Does Shence Sect have ghosts and demonic energy? Will so many traitors and spies appear all at once?"

Fortunately, no matter how unbelievable and crazy the furious, Li Xiucheng could still remain calm. After roaring, Li Xiucheng suddenly came back to his senses and quickly asked the last messenger who came to report: "Where is the demon soldier? Have you found a demon soldier to respond outside the city?"

"Reporting to King Zhong Qiansui, I haven't found it yet." The messenger replied truthfully: "Also, Wu Jianying, Liu Yulin, Fang Youcai and Xu Lianfang's army are still fighting each other inside the Shence Gate. Everyone is fighting, so we dare not confirm who is the traitor and who is the loyal minister of the heaven."

"God helps me!"

Although he didn't understand why the traitors fought each other to the death, Li Xiucheng was overjoyed and shouted happily: "It doesn't matter who is a traitor or a loyal minister, as long as they are still restraining each other! As long as the demon soldiers have not had time to send troops to help! I'll send a command to Li Rong, telling him to take down Shence Gate and guard Shence Gate no matter what! No matter which army is, kill it if it's close!"

"In addition, the command to Wu Ruxiao and Fang Haizong immediately lead troops to reinforce Li Rongfa and seize the western wall section of Shencemen. Don't give the demon soldiers any chance to take the opportunity to attack the city!"

…………

Let’s take a look at the situation on Wu Chaoyue’s side. The messenger sent by Li Rongfa’s troops did not misreport the military information. In fact, until Wu Jianying and Xu Lianfang and other traitors and traitors and traitors and traitors and traitors were already fighting fiercely inside the Shence Gate. Wu Chaoyue had not had time to send a soldier outside the Shence Gate to catch the city. Outside the Shence Gate, only more than 3,000 Wu soldiers under the command of Hu Huaizhao, the general of Cao Yanzhong who was responsible for blocking the Shence Gate, entered the combat state urgently, and never received the order from Wu Chaoyue or Cao Yanzhong to seize the control of Shence Gate.

Wu Chaoyue came to take the blame for the opportunity to miss the war. The reason was that although Wu Jianying, Fang Youcai, Liu Yulin and other Taiping Army traitors sent messengers one after another and successfully contacted the Wu army and asked Wu Chaoyue to send troops to pick him up overnight, but in just over an hour, he received four requests with basically the same content. No matter how treacherous Wu Chaoyue was, he could not help but feel dizzy. He could not believe that such a miracle would occur on the Shence Sect. The goalkeeper suddenly decided to rebel this night. The defender suddenly wanted to rebel this night, and the two deputy of the defender also decided to rebel this night!

Of course, there are so many coincidences together, and there is no God's perspective, I don't know that the traitors of the Taiping Army in the Shence Sect all surrendered sincerely. Not to mention Wu Chaoyue, who has never had a good character, even if a moral gentleman and saint encounter such a situation in his rebirth, he must be suspicious.

Coupled with all kinds of accidents, the Taiping Army traitors on the battlefield of Shencemen took action too early, leaving Wu Chaoyue with insufficient time to respond. Therefore, when Wu Jianying took action first, Wu Chaoyue not only did not decide to send troops to respond, but even discussed with Zhang Dejian and others whether Wu Jianying and others were deceiving surrender, and analyzed whether the miracle on Shencemen would be the trap of luring the enemy arranged by Li Xiucheng. It was wasted countless precious time and missed countless precious opportunities.

What is even more worthy of the blood of the Taiping traitors such as Wu Jianying vomiting blood is that even the great traitor Fang Youcai ignited Wu Jianying's gunpowder depot and officially issued a rebellion declaration. After the news was reported to Wu Chaoyue, Wu Chaoyue's first reaction was still, "I'm a traitor! Is it true or false to make such a big noise so quickly? Could it be that Changmao was playing tricks and cheating me into being fooled?"

Finally, it was about 9:00 p.m., when the Wu army scout clearly saw a fire rising from the Shence Gate Tower, and heard the sound of gunfire in the Shence Gate City with his own ears, and reported the news to Wu Chaoyue. Only after Wu Chaoyue concluded that Wu Jianying and other traitors were not surrendering! At least one or two or two of them were not surrendering!

Then, Wu Chaoyue regretfully ordered the army to prepare for war immediately and prepare for the battle overnight. At the same time, he couldn't wait to shout: "Give me the token of my king and send orders to Hu Huaizhao outside Shence Gate, asking him to send troops immediately. No matter what, he would take advantage of the opportunity to take down Shence Gate, guard Shence Gate, and protect our way into the city!"

"Tell Hu Huaizhao clearly that the fighter opportunity is rare and successful. I will give him the merit of destroying the city! The millions of innocent people in Jiangnan will always thank him!"
