Chapter 19 Defend the capital The decisive battle begins

The saint of the White Lotus Sect in Kunning Palace was still curled up in the corner of the dragon couch, and a conspicuous blood-colored rose bloomed on the white chang.

Before coming to assassinate Zhu Youjian, Qinglian thought about many consequences, either successfully killing Emperor Chongzhen or being killed by Jinyiwei in the assassination.

But she had never thought that she would be pushed down by Zhu Youjian. This consequence that Qinglian could not bear the least, happened. She was the saint of the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking of his crazy appearance of the drug attack, Qinglian clenched his silver teeth and hated Zhu Youjian to death.

At this moment, Qinglian knew that she would never have the chance to assassinate Zhu Youjian again in her life.

Because her skills have been completely lost, she has now become an ordinary little woman, a little woman with no power to tie a chicken.

Qinglian had long known from the Ming officials that Emperor Chongzhen was completely a literati, and when did he become so powerful?

From the fight last night, Qinglian could clearly feel the difference between Chongzhen. Her swordsmanship reached its peak and she was completely a top-notch swordsman.

Qinglian didn't know whether it was her intelligence error or Emperor Chongzhen who had been hiding her martial arts were abolished and she would never have the chance to take revenge.

As a saint, of course, it is more important than life. Since you cannot take revenge, you will have the face to live in the world.

Enduring the pain in her body (although she used to be very good at martial arts, she was also a woman first and a girl) Qinglian pulled down the bed sheet dyed with her blood and prepared to hang herself.

Qianqing Palace

As soon as the sky was dawn, Zhu Youjian opened his eyes. Today was a very critical day. Although he was a time traveler, he also knew what life and death are.

Seeing Zhu Youjian open his eyes, A Qing invited two palace maids to bring her face wash water, wash up a little, and after breakfast, Zhu Youjian got up and prepared to go to Zhengyangmen.

"Your Majesty, put on the armor soon."

Ah Qing carefully brought the golden silk armor for Zhu Youjian to put on. When he saw the golden silk armor in Ah Qing's hand, Zhu Youjian was stunned:

"A Qing, where did this armor come from?"

Ah Qing smiled slightly:

"Back to Your Majesty, this was sent by Commander Qinglong, and he specifically told me that the emperor must put it on."

Without waiting for Zhu Youjian to say anything, Ah Qing carefully put on his golden silk armor.

Ah Qing's black hair drifted on Zhu Youjian's face with the wind, and his body also emitted a virgin fragrance. Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy.

Suddenly, I had the urge to hug her, but the battle was about to come, and now was not the time. Zhu Youjian resisted the impulse and went out to step onto the war horse and headed straight for Zhengyang Gate.

"Your Majesty, slow down."

Seeing that the emperor was running so fast, Ah Qing hurriedly jumped onto the war horse and chased after him.

When the two climbed to the top of the city, Zhu Youjian felt excited and saw that the battle formations were arranged under the city, and the three neat and mighty square formations were greatly shocked.

They were Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, Sun Chengzong's Shenji camp, Sun Chuanting's new army, and of course the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry stood in the formation.

There were two rows of swords and shield soldiers in front of Sun Chuanting’s new military formation, with tall shields lined up in front of the formation, and behind the shield were more than one hundred tiger squatting cannons and gunners carrying flintlock rifles.

Behind the tiger squat cannons were standing a row of flintlock gunmen, and behind them were cavalrymen. The cavalry war horses were wearing special sabers and flintlock guns in their hands. These were their cavalrymen.

The cavalry in this unit are fully armed, holding the Mo Dao. The soldiers used by the Xuan Armor Iron Cavalry are not Mo Dao, which is specially configured by Zhu Youjian for the Xuan Armor Iron Cavalry.

If the opponent takes the lead in charge, the Ming army will first turn over and shoot, then fire, and then the cavalry will charge with their guns and take off their knives.

Sun Chengzong's tactical arrangement of the Divine Machine Camp is similar to that of the new army. In addition to the tiger squatting cannon, there are also some rocket cars.

The configuration of Qi Jiguang's Qi family army is obviously stronger than that of Ersun. Many old-fashioned tiger squat cannons that were not willing to give up were used this time, and their tiger squat cannons reached more than 300.

The artillery is also the flintlock rifle formation. After the flintlock rifle formation, it is the ace mandarin duck formation of the Qi family army.

"Haha, give me a telescope."

Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction, laughed and reached out to the army beside him for a telescope. A deputy general hurriedly handed him a telescope. Zhu Youjian took it and saw that it was a single-tube old-fashioned telescope.

He looked back at the deputy general and asked:

"Whose subordinate are you?"

"The deputy general hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully:

"Report to the emperor, the villain is the deputy general of the Qi family army. General Qi is worried about the emperor's safety and left some new Qi family army to defend the city. There are also many eunuchs who are also participating in defending the city at the top of the city."

Sure enough, there were eunuchs guarding the city. Historical records show that more than a thousand eunuchs died in battle in the capital. Now it seems that they are still loyal than those so-called Qingliu.

He handed the single-tube telescope to A Qing, and Zhu Youjian exchanged a pair of telescopes in the system mall. Just kidding, the system is in hand, how could he still use such an old-fashioned telescope?

He raised his telescope and looked at the bandit camp. At this time, the bandits' siege army had already been dispatched, densely packed, people shouted and horses, and rushed to the capital.

Because of the existence of the red-clothed cannon, Li Zicheng did not dare to be arrogant, and was worried about being bombarded. The bandit camp was about three kilometers away from the capital.

Not only the red-clothed cannon, but even the effective killing distance of the current Shenwei General cannon cannot reach three kilometers.

The bandits must take over the capital, so that an offensive and defensive battle has been formed. As the defensive side, the cannon can exert its maximum power.

Seeing the bandits getting closer, Zhu Youjian turned around and asked Huang Chao:

"Huang Chao, do you all use these cannons?"

Huang Chao hurriedly bowed and bowed:

"Report to your Majesty, we have a lot of artillery here. With your order, these powerful generals on the city will become nightmares for the bandit army."

"Okay, look at the formation of the bandit army. Don't fire the cannon first. After about half of their men enter the effective range, shoot me hard from the middle and cut them off in half."

"Abide by the order"

Three hundred red-clothed cannons were bombarded in turn, and 150 cannons were fired, and then another 150 were bombarded, leaving time to fill shells, and the shelling would not stop or be interrupted.

The vanguard of the bandits' attack on the city was Tang Tong, the general surrendered by the Ming Dynasty. This guy was originally here to serve the king, but he was the first to surrender to Li Zicheng, and now he has become the vanguard force again.

Tang Tong knew that Li Zicheng used them as cannon fodder, and he had no choice but to say a word of disobedience and led an army of 60,000 to the capital.

Behind the 60,000 Ming army surrendered troops, there were two hundred bandits. As long as someone dared to retreat or did not obey the command, he would be beheaded immediately.
