On the top of Nanjing City, Zhu Yihai and others stared at the battlefield outside the East City.

"The Supreme Emperor, General Wu was attacked!" The general watching from the city exclaimed.

Zhu Yihai looked up and saw that at the foot of Zhongshan, the fire burst out and the sound of killing sound shook the sky.

Wu Liuqi's men had just arrived at the bottom of the mountain village and were killed by the ambushed Zhao soldiers.

"It's over! Zhou Hezhi was also ambushed!" Another scream of exclamation.

From the top of Nanjing, you can see a large area of ​​torches suddenly lifting outside the city. Zhou Hezhi, who rushed to the foot of Lime Mountain, was also attacked by the Zhao army.

For a moment, Zhu Yihai shook his body, hurriedly grabbed the wall with one hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Ming!"

Before, Zhao Mingbing came to Nanjing and did not take action. Now, as soon as he took action, he immediately shocked everyone in Nanjing, and everyone exuded fear from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Ming fought in the south for more than ten years and had a rare defeat. Dodo, Dorgon, Ajige, the Netherlands, and Spain all fell at Zhao Ming's feet one by one.

The Regent was a sage and a king outside. One thing was relatively gentle to the Ming Dynasty, which made everyone forget the Regent's great military achievements.

At this time, when the Regent became serious, the two camps outside the city and more than 10,000 elite troops immediately collapsed, making everyone realize the terror of the Regent.

Seeing the two troops leaving the city being attacked, Zhu Yihai and others were in a mess and did not dare to send troops to rescue them.

Yan Yingyuan looked outside the city, but frowned, thinking that Zhao Ming was too calculating.

At this time, after Zhou Hezhi committed suicide outside the city, the Zhao army soldiers snatched the bodies, and the remaining Zhu Ming soldiers were surrounded by the Zhao army. They fought for a while, either killed or surrendered by the equipment.

At the foot of Zhongshan, Wu Liuqi was attacked and led the remaining troops to break through to Shence Gate, but was surrounded by Zhao's soldiers.

Just as he was in despair, a team of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the northwest direction, and his identity could not be identified in the darkness.

Seeing this, Wu Liuqi couldn't help but feel desperate. Zhu Ming's soldiers exclaimed repeatedly, but the cavalry did not rush towards them, but directly rushed towards the ambushing Zhao soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhao army thought they were their cavalry, but they were unprepared for a while and were killed and were unable to do so.

Seeing this, Wu Liuqi was overjoyed and quickly waved his sword and roared, "Brothers, fight out!"

More than a thousand remaining soldiers immediately roared and launched an attack. The Zhao army soldiers were rushed by the cavalry and Wu Liuqi, and a gap was immediately torn open to the defense line. Zhu Ming soldiers rushed out and fled towards the Taiping Gate.

Seeing this, Wang Dana was furious and said, "Chasing me!"

The soldiers of the Zhao army immediately chased and killed the cavalry who were killing the front line, and rushed forward again. They were the leader of the general, wearing white armor and holding a horse spear, but they were Li Laiheng who guarded Dawang Mountain.

The soldiers of the Zhao army were forced to retreat by the cavalry, and Li Laiheng did not want to fight. He rushed for a while and then pulled out his horse to evacuate.

On the Taiping Gate Tower in Nanjing, Wu Liuqi, who survived death, knelt down to the ground, "Your Highness, as soon as I entered the foot of Zhongshan, I was ambushed by the bandits. Fortunately, General Li rescued him and fled back to the city."

Zhu Yihai's expression was dim and he could only comfort him: "It's good to come back, General Wu, let's go and rest first!"

Wu Liuqi bowed and was helped by his personal soldiers to treat his wounds.

Zhu Yihai then asked, "Didn't Zhou Aiqing rush back?"

Li Laiheng said in a deep voice: "I originally planned to save General Zhou first, but I was halfway through the journey. When I saw General Zhou defeated, I turned around to save General Wu."

Li Laiheng's camp was located in Dawang Mountain outside Shence Gate, which was very close to the city, so Zhao Ming did not attack Dawang Mountain.

After the troops outside the city were attacked, they no longer dared to send troops out of the city, for fear of being ambushed by Zhao Ming again. Li Laiheng, who returned to the mountain village, saw Zhou Hezhi and Wu Liuqi being ambushed, so he led his troops down the mountain and rescued more than a thousand soldiers.

At this time, the sound of killing outside the city gradually stopped, and the directions of Shili Mountain and Zhongshan had quieted down, indicating that both camps had fallen into Zhao Ming's hands.

At this time, the battle outside the city had basically ended, but Zhou Hezhi did not return to the city, so he was probably killed in battle or captured.

Zhou Hezhi was Zhu Yihai's old subordinate. He couldn't help feeling sad, "Wave your hand, all the ministers will disperse, and each will guard the city gate."

Many generals heard the words and pondered for a while, but were speechless in the end. In the end, they could only salute and then leave.

At this time, Yan Yingyuan stayed with Zhu Yihai. Seeing this, Zhu Yihai couldn't help but say, "God Yan, go and rest!"

Yan Yingyuan said with a serious expression: "The Supreme Emperor, I have something to report."

Zhu Yihai waved tiredly and said, "You said!"

Yan Yingyuan then said in a deep voice: "Before, the thief Zhao left Nanjing, I selected elite troops and went out of the city to attack several times. The thief army outside the city was ready, resulting in the sneak attacks being unsuccessful. Today, the Supreme Emperor had just summoned General Wu and General Zhou entered the city to discuss, and the thief Zhao attacked the mountain village outside the city. Is this a coincidence?"

Zhu Yihai couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, while Yan Yingyuan continued: "Also, how could the Zhao bandits know that General Wu, General Zhou would lead troops to reinforce, and they set up an ambush halfway."

If Wu Liuqi and Zhou Hezhi were in the mountain village and the bandits attacked the two mountains, Zhu Yihai would definitely not reinforce immediately to avoid Zhao Ming from committing fraud.

Just because the two generals were not in the village, Zhu Yihai had to rush back to reinforce.

Zhu Yihai's face darkened, and his eyes flashed with anger, "Donald Yan means that there are spies from Zhao thief in the city."

Earlier, the grain warehouse in the small schoolyard was burned, and Zhu Yihai ordered the search for the city's fine work and arrested thousands of people. Since then, no detailed destruction has happened in Nanjing.

This time, Zhu Yihai and others thought that the fine works in Nanjing had been cleaned up, and even if there were only a few small characters left, which could not cause any major storm.

Yan Yingyuan nodded, "No, otherwise there would be too many coincidences. Could it be that Zhao Thief is too smart and close to the demon?"

Zhu Yihai pondered for a moment and recognized Yan Yingyuan's judgment. He couldn't help but say hatefully: "Now I think about it, when Zhao thief knew that Gu wanted to make a righteous act in Nanjing, he still attacked Beijing first and left Nanjing to ignore it. Not long ago, Zhao thief rushed away and siege Nanjing to Jiangbei to fight reinforcements, and sent only a few troops to monitor Nanjing. Everything was because Zhao thief had an insider in Nanjing. Only when he knew Gu's every move could he act with confidence."

Zhu Yihai became more and more angry as he spoke, and asked gritted his teeth: "Who is it? Who betrayed the Ming Dynasty?"

Yan Yingyuan recalled the previous discussions. The participants attacked the city and mobilized the soldiers and horses in the city. Such major events, ordinary small works, were not known, and they must be able to contact the core and revealed to Zhao Thief.

Yan Yingyuan pondered for a moment, but was not sure. After all, Zhu Yihai used reliable people to prevent traitors.

"I am not sure at the moment, but as long as I know there is an insider in the city, I will be able to pull it out sooner or later." Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice, and then instructed Zhu Yihai again: "The Supreme Emperor, this matter should not be extended at the moment, so as not to alarm the snake. This spy may be of some use to us!"

Zhu Yihai frowned, thought for a while, then nodded slightly, and said with hatred: "I will listen to the arrangements of Mr. Yan."
