"Ready, shoot! Stand back, second line, prepare, shoot!" Following the orders of the officers, the emperor's soldiers who had formed a shooting formation opened fire one after another, and with the firing of rows of muskets
With a roar, the palace guards who rushed towards them once again left corpses on the ground. They turned back and fled back to the rooms behind them or behind the big trees. Hundreds of corpses were already lying on the ground.
A Tengxiang guard Qianhu had a mournful face and punched the big tree next to him with a punch. "What the hell is this single-eyed fire blunderbuss? It doesn't even need Xinxiang and a lead. Just at this speed, I'm afraid
It’s not much slower than the three-eyed gun in our capital camp.”
"So what, I don't believe that their guns won't break. Let's take human lives to kill them. I don't believe that we can't take down these traitors." Zhang Bao, the commander of Tengxiang Left Guard, looked ashen and frightened. He is Zhang Yong's godson.
At this time, he didn't know that if there was really no way to suppress these rebellious officials and traitors who were clearly loyal to Zhu Qizhen, not only would his glory and wealth be in vain, even if he had nine heads, he would not be able to survive.
Not enough for them to cut.
"Master Zhang, what should we do now? The brothers really can't rush through." A deputy Qianhu, whose shoulder was soaked in blood, staggered towards the officer with a frustrated look on his face.
"Bastard! Keep charging! These are all rebellious. If we don't block them back, then Long Live the Lord will kill us people's heads. Do you understand?!" Zhang Bao couldn't help but grab them.
This deputy Qianhu shouted angrily from the chest of his clothes. "What the hell are you afraid of? There must be a brave man under the heavy reward! Tell the brothers, give me the commander to fight for your life, kill a rebel, reward fifty taels of silver, kill Sun Jizong's
An old dog, rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and made a marquis! If anyone is afraid of fighting and flees from the enemy, he will be punished!"
After hearing Zhang Bao's words, the eyes of the deputy Qianhu who were originally red-eyed became even redder now. He gritted his teeth in disgust and clenched the sword in his hand. "Yes, I will fight hard."
!Brothers, follow me and charge forward again. Your Majesty has the command to kill a traitor and be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. If you kill Sun Jizong, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and be granted the title of Marquis!"
No matter whether Zhang Bao has the right to become a prince or not, now, if he doesn’t rush forward, he will be killed by his own people, and nothing will happen to him. If he really wants to rush forward, if he kills one of them, he can at least make some money, so be careful.
If you are lucky enough to kill Sun Jizong and be granted the title of marquis, you will be like leaping over the dragon's gate and reaching the sky in one step.
Regardless of other things, at least there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. This sentence classically explains the mood of everyone today. This time, more than a thousand soldiers of Tengxiang's left guard once again howled crazily and rushed out. Some people also opened the door.
He lowered the door panels of nearby houses or other objects as shelters, hoping to rely on the resistance of these objects to protect himself from the attacks of those rebellious muskets.

"These bastards look like they're going crazy!" Yuan Bin spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. Blood was still seeping from the gaps in the armor he wore, but now he had completely forgotten about the injury on his shoulder.
Pain, he stared closely at the Tengxiang Guardsmen in front who howled crazily and charged towards this side again.
"It's a pity that our family has been away from the Royal Horse Prison for too long. Otherwise, these bastards would not dare to obey our military orders." Cao Jixiang, who was standing next to Yuan Bin, was not much better. The armor plates were rolled up in several places, and the waist and abdomen were already covered with thick bandages. If it weren't for the protection of the armor on his body, and the desperate resistance of the confidant generals and soldiers who came with him, he would have just been there with the bell and drum. On the stage, Cao Jixiang had already been chopped into pieces.
Although Yuan Bin and others led the reinforcements to arrive in time, but by the time Yuan Bin and others killed the Wuxiang guards at the palace gate, nearly a hundred people led by Cao Jixiang had already fallen. Cao Jixiang, who was protected in the center, also received several blows, which shows how critical and tragic the battle situation was.
"It doesn't matter, we will eat as many people as they come. The combat effectiveness of His Majesty's personal troops is not something you can boast about. Just believe in them." Yuan Bin took a deep breath and sipped the dry and cracked A relaxed smile appeared on his lips.
"But if this battle is delayed for too long, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to us and His Majesty the Emperor. Most of the twenty-six guards of the Imperial Army are near the imperial city. If they learn about what happened within the palace confinement, Come for reinforcements, and by that time, I'm afraid..." Cao Jixiang said humbly to Yuan Bin. After deciding to join Zhu Qizhen, although he didn't know much about the people around Zhu Qizhen, this former Yuan Bin, who had been following Zhu Qizhen since he was captured, had already heard about it. Now, Zhu Qizhen has entrusted Yuan Bin and Sun Jizong with the important task of storming the capital palace. It can be seen that Zhu Qizhen The town has great trust in it.
"It doesn't matter, both Xihua Gate and Xi'an Gate are in my hands. What's more, among the twenty-six guards of the Imperial Army, there are many noble disciples holding important positions among them, and many of them have already fallen. To us, such as Zheng Neng, the Marquis of Wu'an, the legitimate son of Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yi, who was in charge of Jin Wu's right guard, and Zhao Chang, Bo of Xincheng, Wang Gang of Shunchang, and the two younger brothers of Duke Ying, Zhang. "Xian, Zhang Fu..." Yuan Bin spat out names one after another that shocked Cao Jixiang.
Even on the battlefield filled with smoke and the sound of killing, Cao Jixiang was still shocked for a while before he came back to his senses. He looked at Yuan Bin, who was focusing all his attention on the battlefield, and couldn't help but feel tongue-tied in his heart. Endless.
Many of these people are nobles among nobles. Now they are all governors in charge of the guards in the capital or the troops of the capital camp, or they are commanders and commanders. If These people all joined Zhu Qizhen's command. From this point of view, the competition between Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen today has no chance of winning.
What Yuan Bin was worried about was exactly the opposite of Cao Jixiang. The thing he was most worried about was how to enter the palace. After all, His Majesty the Emperor has said that he hopes to solve all problems in the shortest time and in the fastest way. .
The longer it is delayed, the bigger the matter will become. At that time, it will be difficult to clean up the mess. But now, both Xihua Gate and Xi'an Gate are loyal to the nobles and dead soldiers of Zhu Qizhen. Under control, a large number of people have already rushed forward and rushed into the palace.
Although they cannot gain an advantage in a short period of time, the opponent has no way to block the gap. I believe that in a short time, as long as His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the Supreme Emperor, enters the capital in time, the situation will be decided in a short time.
Yuan Bin, who had figured this out, turned his head and looked towards the north, in the direction of Renshou Palace. When he thought about Sun Jizong capturing Xihua Gate and dispersing the first wave of enemy troops, he became extremely anxious.
With more than a hundred cavalry, they rushed straight towards the Renshou Palace.
Yuan Bin also knew very well that the safety of the Empress Dowager was indeed very important, so he did not block it. Just now, after Yuan Bin saw that the soldiers and horses of Wuxiang Guards did not pose much of a threat to him, he sent them again.
More than five hundred people, led by the guide sent by Na Cao Jixiang, rushed to the Renshou Palace for reinforcements.
"I just don't know what the situation is like with Uncle Sun Jizong and Uncle Sun..."
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Brother, what's the situation outside?" Empress Dowager Sun still stayed in the Buddhist hall, with the green smoke rising slowly. The statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the middle of the Buddhist hall looked extraordinarily solemn, and she was spinning the string of rosewood beads in her hand.
Empress Dowager Sun saw Sun Jizong who was standing outside the Buddhist hall, pacing with the handle of the sword at his waist, and couldn't help but call out softly.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The more than a hundred cavalrymen brought by the ministers are all elite men, and more than thirty of them are His Majesty's personal soldiers. They are unparalleled in bravery. And the Renshou led by Lord Yongwang
The palace guards are assisting in the defense, it's no big deal." Before Sun Jizong finished speaking, he heard a huge roar in the distance, which shocked the Queen Mother Sun and turned pale, and then, several more violent roars came over.
.
"Don't worry, Madam, this is a grenade carried by His Majesty's personal soldiers. Although it is small, it has the sound of thunder. Once thrown, there will be no living thing within ten steps." Sun Jizong glanced at the battle situation in the distance.
Anxious at the main entrance of Renshou Palace, he explained.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but whisper the Buddha's name. "Your Majesty's personal troops have even used such things. It seems that Lu Zhong is really anxious."
From the look on Sun Jizong's face, he could see that the situation might be a little bad. The Queen Mother Sun's hand holding the Buddhist beads paused slightly, and she said seriously to Sun Jizong: "Brother, you'd better go over first, Bing Wu
General, how can you be willing to fight? The Ai family is praying for the emperor in this small Buddhist hall."
"In this case, the minister will retire first. The empress can rest assured. No matter what, the minister will definitely protect the empress." Sun Jizong also knew that now was not the time to continue being polite, and gave a hasty salute to the Queen Mother Sun, resolutely.
He turned around and solemnly said a few words to the dozens of guards guarding the outside of the Buddhist hall, and then rushed towards the main entrance of Renshou Palace.
"Sir, there are more and more guards outside. They have removed door bolts from other palace gates to use as door hammers. They were just blown away by a wave of grenades. However, Renshou Palace is really too big.
With our manpower, there is simply no way to take care of everything." A pro-army officer from Zhu Qizhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied to Sun Jizong, who rushed over to inquire about the situation. "I hope Master Yuan can take care of everything as soon as possible.
We need to send reinforcements here. Otherwise..."
Sun Jizong nodded: "Master Yuan should be aware of the situation here. Work harder and guard the Renshou Palace. Come on, ask all the eunuchs to help me, and ask them to block behind the palace gate.
, let those soldiers go to the wall to resist the enemy!..."
At this moment, just outside the main entrance of Renshou Palace, Lu Zhong, whose face was scratched with a long bloody mouth by the shrapnel from the dense and violent explosion just now, was holding a silk handkerchief to cover the face that was still bleeding.
With his wounds, he roared loudly, urging the guards to lift the heavy wooden door bolt again, and under the cover of more guards' bows, arrows and firecrackers, they once again launched an attack on the gate of Renshou Palace.
The pro-soldiers who came with them did not rely on many grenades in the first place. They had used some during the battle at Xihua Gate. But now, under the desperate attack of these guards, the grenades in the hands of the pro-soldiers were almost gone.
Already exhausted.
As for the palace door of Renshou Palace, under the impact of the guards, the heavy wood made an unpleasant tearing sound, and the paint on the back of the door began to peel off, and even the broken wood stubble exploded.
