    After Chen Ziang listened to the words of Wang Cheng, the deputy chief of the Ministry of War, his face was still calm, as if he had expected it.

    "I don't know how Wang Aiqing answered him?" Chen Ziang asked with a smile.

    Wang Chengdao: "In order to avoid arousing his suspicion, I naturally agreed to it."

    "Wang Aiqing's loyalty to me and to the empire is really rare." Chen Ziang was very satisfied with Wang Cheng.

    Wang Cheng used to be a veteran of the former Southern Army. After being captured, he surrendered to the Qinghe Army. After being reused, he was promoted step by step to be the commander of the field army.

    If it hadn't been for the mutiny that broke out at Baimaguan and was implicated, he would still be the head of the real power army now.

    Chen Ziang transferred him to be the deputy chief of the Ministry of War. In fact, Li Qiye, the chief, suppressed him, and Wang Cheng had no real power.

    It's just that now that Li Qiye is not in the imperial capital, only Wang Cheng, the deputy chief of the Ministry of War, is in charge of daily affairs.

    Seeing that Wang Cheng, a veteran of the previous dynasty, was able to understand current affairs so well and did not collude with those capitulators, Chen Ziang undoubtedly gave him a high look.

    "Your Majesty, this person has a lot of party members in the court. Please take decisive measures to avoid affecting the safety of the empire." Wang Cheng suggested.

    "Wang Aiqing, don't worry, I've already known about this matter, and I'm just standing still."

    Seeing Wang Cheng's worried face, Chen Ziang also told the truth.

    "Your Majesty already knew?"

    After hearing this, Wang Cheng was also full of astonishment.

    "I allocated so much money to the Intelligence Investigation Institute, but I didn't want them to just eat and not work." Chen Ziang said with a smile.

    After Wang Cheng was slightly astonished, he was relieved to think that the secret agents of the Intelligence Investigation Institute were all-pervasive, but he still felt a bit of fear.

    If he didn't take the initiative to enter the palace to report the matter today, even if he didn't participate, he would probably be suspected and suspected in the future.

    "Since Your Majesty has a countermeasure, I will not say much." Wang Cheng was afraid, so he did not dare to say more.

    "You are aware of the battle plan to eliminate the wolf cavalry this time, so let's plan this matter, borrow their hands, put the wolf cavalry into the city, and then destroy them." Chen Ziang ordered.

    "The minister obeys the order."

    Seeing that everything was under Chen Ziang's control, Wang Cheng, the deputy chief of the Ministry of War, felt relieved.

    Wang Cheng did not stay in the palace for long, and soon took a carriage and left through an unobtrusive side door of the palace.

    The light rain fell from dawn to dark, and then to dawn again, and the entire imperial capital was shrouded in a layer of damp water vapor.  It made the sky of the imperial capital even more gloomy and depressing. Except for the patrolling soldiers on the street, the common people were all anxiously hiding at home.

    They are sleepless day and night, always paying attention to the situation on the other side of the city wall. Once the city is broken, they are ready to leave the city at any time to escape.

    Fortunately, although the army in the Far East retreated all the way to the imperial capital, facing the fierce attack of the wolf cavalry, the imperial capital was impenetrable.

    Perhaps the wolf cavalry were tired from attacking. As the imperial capital began to rain, the shouts of killing on the other side of the city wall also weakened and finally disappeared. It has been two days now without any movement.

    The common people prayed that the wolf cavalry had withdrawn their troops, but when they saw the groups of soldiers of the Far Eastern Army mobilized on the street, they realized that the danger had not been lifted.

    "Switch defense!"

    In the evening, a group of soldiers wearing the badge of the Public Security Banner Regiment arrived at the west gate and showed the official document for the change of defense.

    "It's finally time to go down and rest."

    "Brothers, I leave this place to you."

    When the blood-stained soldiers of the Far Eastern Army saw the arrival of the changing troops, they were relieved one by one, and withdrew with their own weapons and so on.

    The newly transferred troops were stationed at the city tower and near the city gate. Everything was in order, but no one knew that there were many unfamiliar faces among these newly arrived troops.

    But now the Security Corps, the Guards Corps, the Emperor's Garrison Masi, the Minjun and other troops are mixed together, and their new faces are not noticeable.

    Even if the head of the banner group directly under them arrives, they may not necessarily recognize that they are from their banner group.

    You must know that a flag regiment of the Far Eastern Army has a full 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it is very difficult to know every soldier under its command.

    The wolf cavalry stopped their attack on the imperial capital, and the imperial capital, which had been noisy for more than ten days, became weirdQuiet.

    "Strengthen vigilance!"

    "Don't slack off!"

    The troops of the Far East Army guarding everywhere also requested to strengthen their vigilance to prevent sneak attacks by wolf cavalry.

    After dark, flames suddenly lit up in the south of the imperial capital, and several houses were on fire, which were especially visible in the dark night.

    Just a short time later, flames also appeared in the direction of the north of the city, and several places burned.

    Seeing that several places in the city were burning, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army guarding the city wall also noticed something unusual.

    When the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were attracted by the fire in the city, more than two thousand wolf cavalry were wriggling in the wet sea of ??corpses and blood in the pile of corpses outside the city.

    Using the cover of the night and corpses, they crawled towards the lit west gate of the imperial capital.

    Although there are lanterns on the city wall some distance away, the lights are too weak to see the situation outside the city clearly.

    The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army on alert also occasionally fired a few rockets into the darkness to test the darkness.

    However, there was a sea of ??corpses and blood outside the city, and more than 2,000 wolf cavalry were hidden in it, and the soldiers of the Far East Army on the city wall were hard to detect.

    In the middle of the night, a group of soldiers guarding the west gate of the imperial capital quietly opened the heavy city gate.

    Following the sliding of the noose, the heavy city gate was slowly lowered, connecting the moat.

    "superior!"

    Seeing the city gate falling across the moat, the wolf cavalry hidden in the pile of corpses were also very excited. They stood up like ghosts and rushed towards the open city gate.

    Two thousand wolf cavalry entered the city along the opened city gate, and there was a lot of movement. Naturally, it attracted the attention of the Far East defenders in the nearby area, and hurriedly sent people to the city gate to check the movement.

    "Enemy attack!"

    "Enemy attack!"

    Seeing some wolf cavalry go up to the city wall, some soldiers of the Far Eastern Army also roared hoarsely.

    When the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army guarding the city wall rushed towards the west gate along the city wall, two thousand wolf cavalry had already occupied the city gate and tower, and were heading towards the second urn.

    "kill!"

    In the dark rain and fog outside the west gate, densely packed torches suddenly lit up. General Barhu roared fiercely, and the rolling wolf cavalry headed towards the west gate of the imperial capital.

    Soon, there was a loud cry of killing near the west gate, and the wolf cavalry who occupied the city gate began to rush along the city wall to the two wings.

    "Master Marshal, we have already occupied their outer city gate and the area of ??the Wengcheng Tower. We have encountered the counterattack of the Far Eastern Army and urgently need reinforcements!"

    The army led by Marshal Alslen had assembled outside the city, but he was still observing the situation and did not rush into it.

    He was worried that this was a trap, so he sent General Barhu to lead his troops to attack first to see the situation.

    Now seeing that important areas such as the city tower and the city gate were easily occupied, Arslen no longer doubted it.

    "Pass down the order, the whole army will attack and capture Chen Ziang alive!"

    Arslen turned his head and ordered murderously.

    Following Arslen's order, thunderous horseshoes sounded outside the city, and the wolf cavalry, like a torrent, swept towards the imperial capital along the opened attack channel.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
