The attack in Xicheng was in a deadlock. It was not because the Ming soldiers were not strong in combat, but because the superiors issued an order and entered Shangjing City, they were not allowed to use heavy weapons such as catapults and thunder fire, especially the thunder fire. That thing was a super arsonist, just killing and burying, and Qin Feng didn't want a devastated Shangjing City.

With this order, Chen Zhihua could only order his soldiers to move forward step by step.

The Chu army's tenacious resistance was just because of a person. After Ma Xiangdong, the chief assistant of Chu State, arrived in Xicheng with the five thousand Fire Phoenix Army, the chief assistant took off his official robe, put on a plain clothes, and leaned on the ground with a sword in his hand, sitting upright in the main street of Xicheng. Here, it was only about the battlefield ahead, and the battle ahead was clearly heard. If you take a step back, kill it!

This is the order Ma Xiangdong issued to the generals fighting in front.

Chen Zhihua was very annoyed, but he had no choice. The street fighting in the city was different from the field fighting outside. It had 100% of its combat power. It would be good to have half of it to perform street fighting in such a strange environment. Even though there were many Chu army defense troops in the west city that had surrendered to them, the five thousand Fire Phoenix Army who rushed to rescue, under the inspiration of Ma Xiangdong, came out of the alleys and houses, and attacked the Ming army.

A street is often taken back by the enemy before it has just been taken down.

Finally, Chen Zhihua issued a temporary truce order. His soldiers would fight for several days and were already very tired. He didn't want to let too many soldiers lose their lives on the eve of victory. If it weren't for the strict order from above, he would have wished that the Thunder Fire would smash the obstacles ahead into white.

Min Ruoying had almost put all the useful soldiers on hand in it, although he knew that this was just a breath of breath.

Now, he only has the last palace guards to defend the safety of the palace.

Three thousand people, this is his last armed force.

The commander of the Gong Guard Army, Lin Zhengying, supported the battlements of the Palace City, with no expression on his face. As the last line of defense to protect the emperor, he knew very well that once the Ming army invaded the city broke through the final obstacle, his strength would not be enough for the other party to get stuck in the teeth.

However, in the capital, the Fire Phoenix Army had only the last ten thousand people left. What's more, if you are the opponent of tens of thousands of Ming troops, let alone these tens of thousands of enemies, you will not be worse than the Fire Phoenix Army if you just pull them out.

He now knew the reason why Nancheng was captured so quickly. Zhu Ci, the garrison general of Nancheng, was turned against the Ming army. When General Wei Zelong retreated, Nancheng was closed, which led to General Wei Zelong being surrounded by the Ming army outside the city. After General Wei was wiped out, Zhu Ci opened the city to surrender.

Unlike generals like Zhu Ci, Lin Zhengying was Min Ruoying's confidant. When Min Ruoying was still a prince, he was one of Min Ruoying's guards and participated in all Min Ruoying's actions to seize the throne. Therefore, it was impossible for him to surrender.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Feng, would not let everyone involved in that matter. Even if he was not the main culprit, he was one of his conspiracies. He had no other way except to die in battle.

If you want to regret it, Lin Zhengying did not regret it at all. Most of the people who followed Min Ruoying had a lofty ideal, that is, the idea of ​​letting the Chu State unify the world gather together. At that time, Min Ruocheng was not the best candidate to realize this ideal, and the second prince Min Ruoying, who was enterprising and full of attack, was undoubtedly a better choice. When things developed to this point, they could only say that God wanted to destroy me!

Outside the palace city, there were bursts of rapid sounds of horse hooves, which pulled Lin Zhengying's thoughts back from his memories. He looked down at the palace city and saw more than a hundred cavalry galloping on their horses. In a moment, they arrived at the palace city.

"General Lin!" The leader raised his head, looked at Lin Zhengying above the palace city, and shouted.

"Lei Commander." Lin Zhengying frowned. As a general leading the army, he naturally did not like people like Lei Wei who lived in the darkness. What's more, during this period, Lei Wei was like a madman, arresting and killing people everywhere. Many of Lin Zhengying's friends were caught by this person for no reason and their whereabouts were unknown.

"Open the city gate, I have urgent business to meet Your Majesty." Lei Wei said loudly.

Lin Zhengying stared at him for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Lei Wei snorted, "The two people sent by His Majesty have returned, and one of them is unfortunately gone." He pointed to the two men wearing cloaks beside him, and they were also injured. They finally killed them from there and have important secrets to report to His Majesty."

Lin Zhengying was slightly stunned. There were other secrets in the palace. Although he didn't understand it very well, he knew more or less. When Min Ruoying was still a prince, he vaguely told them about these things. It was just that it took too long and his memory was a little blurred.

"Okay, only you three can enter the city!" he said loudly.

"Of course, how can I not know the rules of the palace? I am just afraid of the assassins of the Ming Kingdom. You also know that now when I go to the capital, there is no place that is safe."

"The palace is safe." Lin Zhengying cut off his words.

Lei Wei laughed, "That's right, that's why I dare to go into the city alone."

Lin Zhengying waved his hand, and the palace city slowly opened a gap for only one person to enter.

Lei Wei brought the two of them in one after another.

The city gate slowly closed behind them. The man in black in a cloak who was walking at the end suddenly turned around, dismounted, and slapped several palms lightly. The soldiers who were closing the city gate did not hum and fell softly to the ground. Before the other soldiers could report it, the man in black grabbed the city gate with both hands and roared. The heavy city gate that needed several people to close was suddenly completely opened.

Lei Wei choked and pulled out the sword from his waist and killed several palace guards around him on the spot. It was not until this time that the screams of warning began to sound.

When Lin Zhengying heard the two city gates slamming into the cave in the city gate, his heart skipped a beat and rushed down the city tower quickly. He happened to see the scene of Lei Guard swaying his sword to kill several guards.

"Enemy attack, kill the enemy!" He roared loudly. At that moment, he knew that Lei Wei had surrendered to the enemy.

Facing Lin Zhengying who was running towards him, Lei Wei didn't even look at him, but just waved his sword to slash at the Gong Wei army that was rushing over. Another man in black next to him jumped up, pulled out a huge black sword from his cloak, and slashed towards Lin Zhengying with one sword.

"Yang Zhi!" Lin Zhengying exclaimed.

The man in black who had opened the city gate had turned around at this time. With a loud laugh, he also pulled out a big knife from his cloak and rushed towards the Gong Wei army in front of him.

Compared to Lei Wei's killing speed, this person was much more neat. In almost a blink of an eye, they killed the cave in the city gate.

The moment the city gate was pulled open, more than a hundred cavalry outside suddenly accelerated and rushed up. As soon as they hit the city wall, dozens of people even kicked hard on the horse's back, and jumped up and rushed towards the city wall like a big bird.

The Gong Guards on the city wall have always been waiting for the whole world. The moment the cavalry launched a charge, the feather arrows in their hands were already shooting at the people.

Their reaction speed was very fast, but the people they faced were all a group of warriors with extremely high martial arts cultivation, and the leaders were even several people with the level of master cultivation.

The long silk ribbon in Yinggu's hand appeared and disappeared in the darkness. Every time she made a move, more than a dozen soldiers were trapped by her neck and then threw them down the city wall with their hands shaking. Hu Bugui's long sword was as sharp as a dragon, hovering and reciprocating, and wherever he went, blood was rushing. The mace in the horse and leopard were covered in the crowd. Shi Shusheng had a shoulder folded, and he pointed it lightly, but when he got it, his tendons and bones were broken.

More than a hundred martial arts masters made the palace wall mess in an instant, and what made the palace guards even more frightened was that there were dense footsteps on the streets not far from the palace city.

Sure enough, the next moment, a crowd of dark people appeared on the square in front of the palace. The people were wearing various costumes, including those in the Fire Phoenix Army uniforms, some in the inner guard clothing, and some in civilian costumes. But when they were running, the charge queue was a well-trained army.

These days, Yinggu and Huo Guang used various channels to secretly bring batches of elites into the city, and then Lei Wei arranged them to lurk near the palace city. Their purpose was to directly attack the imperial city.

Lin Zhengying tried hard to block Yang Zhi. He was Min Ruoying's last line of defense. But helplessly, the difference between his personal force and Yang Zhi was too far. After just a few moves, his throat was penetrated by the ubiquitous ghostly sword. With a rumbling sound, he fell to the ground with his back to the sky and earth.

The Gong Weijun was very brave, but he could not make up for their differences in combat effectiveness. When thousands of attack cities attacked the city, everything lost its suspense.

Round of palace guards rushed up and then fell down one by one. Qin Feng walked slowly towards the most majestic hall of the imperial city with his hands behind his back. In front of him, several master guards rushed towards the palace guards here, and fell to the ground one after another.

In the hall, Min Ruoying was still sitting on the dragon chaise after Jiao Hong left. Perhaps, he also knew that he had not been sitting on this chair for a long time.

In the palace city, there was a sudden sound of yelling to kill. Min Ruoying raised her head in amazement, but then she felt relieved again and clapped her hands and said, "Come!"

An old eunuch came in.
Chapter completed!
