"My lord, the rebels have broken through from outside the city!"
Inside Xuanwu Gate, a defender came to report to Liu Kaixuan, his tone urgent and anxious.
This news startled Liu Kaixuan, who was already worriedly pondering how to defend the city; his hand, which was commanding others, stiffened and froze midair.
A pair of heavy eyes instinctively looked towards the city gate.
Although he had long anticipated that the rebels would eventually make their way around from outside the city, he had not expected them to come so soon, with absolutely no preparation for defense.
The defending forces were now insufficient; they were barely managing to hold the rebels inside the city!
If the rebels from outside were to attack now, Xuanwu Gate would surely be undefended!
