The crossbow arrows used by the Yulin Guard were made by the crossbow master Huang Minggang and his disciples from the military office in Nanjing within a month. Huang Minggang has liked to make crossbows since he was a child. In history, during the more than 80 days of guarding the city in Jiangyin, Huang Minggang and his disciples used simple conditions to create various crossbow machines, poisonous arrows, back crossbows, and large giant crossbows, which made the Qing army unable to defend themselves and gave the Qing army great damage. Now there are various materials and equipment from the Nanjing Military Office. In more than a month, he actually made a crossbow that was almost the same as the legendary Zhuge crossbow. It was only because of time that Huang Minggang has only made more than 100 pieces. In order not to cause too much vibration in the capital, the Yulin Guard's firearms were only prepared and not used. The crossbow became the most powerful weapon, and all were handed over to the Yulin Guard who assaulted from the main gate.

However, although the lethality of the continuous crossbow is huge, it takes a lot of time to load it. After the Yulin Guard in front of him fired the crossbow arrow, he immediately threw the crossbow bow to the ground without any use. He held the spear tightly with both hands, and formed a plum blossom formation in a team of five people and moved forward quickly. The lethality was not even under the continuous crossbow.

Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers were stunned. Many people fell in a pool of blood without reacting. A few people jumped up but found that they could not find their weapons. These comfortable and comfortable lives in Tianjing made them lose their vigilance for a while, and no one would bring weapons by their side while drinking.

However, after Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers reacted, the Yulin Guard still encountered trouble. Relying on the death of his companions, some of Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers had retreated into the room to obtain weapons, and relying on the terrain to start blocking the Yulin Guard. Due to the limitations of the terrain, the long spear formation of five people in the Yulin Guard could not be deployed. This showed that the Yulin Guard's lack of experience and casualties began to occur.

At this time, Huang Degong's personal soldiers made up for the lack of experience in the Yulin Guard. These veterans almost became spectators just now. They were shocked and eager to save their face. They rushed into the room regardless of casualties, and Liu Liangzuo's troops launched a bloody battle, with all kinds of screams and weapons hitting each other.

When Yan Yingyuan and Huang Degong stepped into the Guangchang Bo Courtyard, they could no longer hear any fighting sounds. Except for dozens of Liu's servants escorted from Yulin Guards, there were only dead bodies left in the entire courtyard.

"Report to General, our army has killed 381 Liu Niyu's troops on the spot. This time, a total of 401 soldiers who followed Liu Ni's army. In addition to fifteen people who followed Liu Ni into the palace, five of them were missing." Yan Yingzhen reported with an excited face. The raid just now went very smoothly, and there were no large-scale casualties that everyone was worried about.

When Yan Yingyuan heard that the whereabouts of five people were unknown, he did not smile on his face: "Search, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will search these five people. By the way, how are our army's casualties?"

"Yes, I obey the order and report to the general. The Yulin Guard was injured and 21 people were killed... and seven people died." Although the casualties were very small, compared with the destruction of all 400 Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers, they were all soldiers brought from Jiangyin, and each of them was familiar with each other. Among the seven dead, three were elite soldiers that Yan Yingyuan had trained for several years. Yan Yingzhen and two of them had dinner and chatted together. When the seven people died, Yan Yingzhen's tone still became low.

Yan Yingyuan did not expect that his brother, who has always been smiling, had this side. The result was much better than he expected. Yan Yingyuan was worried about coming to the other two places, but unfortunately he had a general skill and could only wait for news.

Huang Degong was also asking his subordinates about his casualties. Since most of the sudden outbreak was completed by Huang Degong's personal soldiers, almost half of the more than 100 personal soldiers he brought with him were injured. However, not many people died, only six people died, one less than the Yulin Guard. Except for one more person, the injuries of the other forty people can basically be recovered. From this point of view, we can see the difference between these veterans and the new soldiers. They can better protect themselves on the battlefield. If the last step is not borne by Huang Degong's personal soldiers, the Yulin Guard's casualties may have been a few more.

Two Yulin Guards carried over a tall body and threw it aside. Huang Degong's personal soldiers exclaimed: "Isn't this Liu Meng, Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers?"

As Liu Liangzuo's personal military captain, Liu Meng was rare in martial arts. More than ten people could not get close to him. This general who should have climbed the top of Jiangyin City with Man General a year later and was eventually beheaded by Jiangyin defenders. At this moment, he stared at the dark sky with his eyes wide open. He had dozens of crossbow arrows in his chest. Because he was close to outside the courtyard, he was aimed at the crossbow arrows of Yulin Guard at the first time. He had martial arts but could not get any chance to use it. He didn't even know who was the one who killed him. No wonder he died with his eyes closed.

In fact, Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers were so powerless to resist, which was not unrelated to Liu Meng's killing at the first time. Without command, they could only fight for their own battles.

Such a powerful general was easily killed. The personal soldiers of Huang Degong, who were qualified, felt in their hearts. Their eyes became complicated when they looked at Yu Linwei, but they no longer had the original contempt.

A scream came, and another hidden Liu Liangzuo personal soldier was found and killed instantly. Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers were only four.

Wang Fu sat upright in Wuying Hall, with dozens of eunuchs and palace maids standing on both sides. At this time, the gates of the palace, which should have been locked, were wide open. Lanterns were lit in the corridors and corridors, illuminating the palace like daytime. Outside the hall, a group of guards were armed in full, standing still as if they were wooden stakes.

A hurried footstep came, and a Yulin Guard appeared in front of Wuying Hall. After the guard checked, he waved his hand to let go. The Yulin Guard stepped into Wuying Hall and knelt down when he saw the emperor: "See the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

“How is the situation?”

"Reported to the emperor, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie's three-person soldiers have been taken down. Among them, 386 of them have been killed by Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers, and 385 of them have been found. Only one person has not been found. All 421 of the personal soldiers in Liu Zeqing's customs have been killed, and 321 of them have been killed by Gao Jie's personal soldiers, and the rest have been persuaded by the envoys sent by Gao Jie to put down their weapons and surrender."

"How are our army's casualties?"

"Report to the Emperor, Yulin Guard injured 67 people, twenty-three people were killed, and Jingnan Hou's troops were injured 105 people, and seventeen people were killed."

"Okay, the casualties this time are so small, and Yan Aiqing has made great contributions." Wang Fu was very satisfied. He thought that even if he was well prepared, the Yulin Guard would have to suffer at least hundreds of casualties this time. Unexpectedly, only more than one hundred people were injured and more than 30 people died: "Transfer my order. This time, all the Yulin Guards will be rewarded, and the pensions for the casualties will be doubled."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Yulin Guard said gratefully. The Yulin Guard's military salary is high, and the pension is naturally high. Double pension can at least make the families of the dead soldiers live without worries for ten years.
