At last he led the remaining men in retreat to the Xuanwu Gate, which was the deepest gate in the Capital.
It was also the only gate designed to stop someone from breaching the city from inside—the final line of defense!
The Xuanwu Gate, with its independent walls, was separated from the other four walls by a river, and within its gates, materials such as flint and rolling logs were stored.
More importantly, there were two gates, one inside and one outside, and both were controlled independently.
Therefore, no matter if the attack came from outside the city or from within, this place could hold off the enemy for a while.
But it wouldn't hold for long.
"My lord, look!"
No one knew who shouted, but he looked up and saw the sky-high flames erupting from the Imperial Palace!
Liu Kaixuan, as leader, felt a sharp pain in his eyes and his gaze flickered blood-red.
The Imperial Palace, breached!
