In the Jin Palace, Fu Xuesheng lit fireworks one after another. When the fuses burned into the fireworks tubes, the whole square in front of the palace was filled with loud sounds.
I saw streaks of light rising from the ground, higher than the walls, halls, eaves, and roofs of Prince Jin's Mansion at a speed that the human eye could not keep up with, and rushing into the night sky full of snow with the whistling sounds.
The light point disappeared into the dark night, the sound temporarily disappeared, and the light also disappeared.
But this silence was very short-lived.
It's so short that people don't react.
boom!
Bang bang bang!
The next moment, the sky above the entire Taiyuan City was as bright as day.
Countless brilliant colors, accompanied by roaring explosions, filled the entire night sky.
Those clusters of fireworks and wisps of light bloom in people's sight with all their strength.
The sky is filled with fireworks.
Under the fireworks that filled the entire Taiyuan City, even the flying snow seemed to slow down.
The fireworks in Prince Jin's Palace Square were ignited and bloomed in the night sky. Fireworks placed in other places in the Palace and in the city also responded one after another. The whistling sounds continued, and the roar exploded in the night sky.
Brilliant fireworks kept shining briefly in the night sky.
"This is probably the most amazing scenery in the world."
Outside Prince Jin's Mansion, in the darkness of the attic, Zhu Yunwen looked up at the fireworks all over the sky. The explosions of colorful lights sprinkled on his face, making his eyes blurry.
"kill!"
"The tyranny of rebellion against the Ming Dynasty will be punished by everyone!"
"Kill Zhu Yunxi!"
"Charge into Yingtian City!"
In the night sky, the fireworks were still blooming, bursting out with bursts of light. Under the dots of stars in the sky, there was a sudden roar that resounded throughout Taiyuan City.
Around the main hall of Prince Jin's Palace and between the palace roads and walls leading to various parts of the palace, countless people from three parties who had sneaked into Prince Jin's Palace in disguise earlier rushed out of their hiding places and rushed to the front of the main hall of the palace following the fireworks that filled the sky.
The main hall of the palace.
The Yulin Guards, the Jinyi Guards and the Jin Palace Guards, a total of about two thousand people, were all arranged in formation at the foot of the palace steps.
On the steps, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Fan were guarded by Gao Yangzhi and Cao Zhen and a group of civil and military ministers.
From this scene, it is obvious that even if the rebels are really too strong and the army cannot support them, everyone will choose to die before Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Fan.
Compared to Gao Yangzhi, who had a tense face and kept scanning around the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion for an escape route, Zhu Yunxi seemed very calm.
He stood on the steps, clasping his hands together, staring calmly at the still empty square in front of him, hearing the roars coming from all directions.
Unmoving as a mountain.
Along with the fireworks that filled the sky, Zhu Yunxi believed that not only were these rebels in Taiyuan City at this moment, but the officers and soldiers from the camp who entered the city from the tunnel must also be rushing here.
Outside the city, the three guards of Prince Jin's Mansion who had probably arrived had also returned.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Crunt against the Ming Dynasty! Reopen the Great Song Dynasty!"
The sound of fighting is approaching.
Finally, teams composed of the White Lotus Sect, Shanxi merchants, and Tatar tribes rushed into the square in front of the main hall of the Jin Palace.
The palace of the Jin Dynasty was very large, and most of the palaces built by the clan princes of the Ming Dynasty after they became vassals also occupied an extremely large area.
Precisely because of this, there were many people from three parties hiding in disguise in Prince Jin's palace. In just a short time, nearly a thousand people had already rushed to the main hall of the palace.
Outside the Prince Jin's Mansion, there were also more reinforcements arriving in a steady stream and were about to rush into the Prince Jin's Mansion.
However, when the three groups of people who first arrived in front of the main hall of the palace were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
There are no group of high-ranking officials, gentry women and their families, nor is there such a lively scene where people don't know what swords and axes are about to attack.
In front of the three parties, only the imperial soldiers and horses were arrayed in front of the steps of the main hall of Prince Jin's palace.
Fireworks continued to bloom all over the sky, pouring colorful light into Prince Jin's Mansion, shining on the mysterious black armor, and reflecting the cold and murderous aura.
"Habayashi Guards!"
"exist!"
As the highest military attache present, Cao Zhen naturally took over the command of this blocking battle. He looked at the rebels coming from all directions, roared angrily, waved his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist.
The Yulin Guards roared in unison, and the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, wearing armor weighing fifty kilograms, were like human-shaped shield walls, holding long spears in perfect fit to block the front.
The spears were pressed down by the hands of the Yulin Guards one after another, and the tails of the guns were pressed against the steps behind them. All the Yulin Guards officers and soldiers slowly squatted down, in a half-crouching posture, slightly lowering their heads and staring at the people rushing in front of them.
Rebellious thief.
Cao Zhen walked back and forth on the steps, raised the long knife in his hand: "Jin Yiwei!"
"exist!"
"Prepare the long fire gun!"
"Follow the order!"
After the Yulin Guards, all the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards on the Northern Patrol stepped forward and stood behind the Yulin Guards.
"Kill it!"
"Break through the court's military formation and capture Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Fan's uncle and nephew alive!"
"Re-open the Great Song Dynasty, and when the success is achieved, it will be the time for us to become the princes and pay homage to the prime minister!"
"Kill!"
The three parties of people rushed to the main hall of Prince Jin's palace, and their respective leaders began to roar and urge the surrounding people to attack the military formation in front of them.
"A rebel will always be a rebel."
Zhu Yunxi stood on the steps with a sneer on his face.
Looking at the disorganized rebels who just charged head-on, he could already predict what would happen next.
Behind the human shield wall of the Yulin Guards, all the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guards have not used the Xiuchun knives on their waists for the time being, but are holding long fire blunderbuss in both hands.
This is a new type of firecracker that was recently built and shipped from the factory by the director.
Although there are not many changes in style and usage from the past, it is more accurate and more powerful.
"Long fire gun!"
"Three rounds of shooting!"
Cao Zhen held a long sword in his hand and stared at the rebels rushing towards the military formation in front of him. His mind was constantly updating the number of steps between the two sides.
Close.
Close.
Getting closer.
Cao Zhen roared angrily, waved his sword and raised it high: "Let go!"
Bang bang bang!
Behind the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, who were like an iron wall, the first row of three rows of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers held nearly two hundred long blazing guns and opened fire suddenly between the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards.
The clouds of white smoke were clearly visible in the sky filled with fireworks.
The entire military formation was instantly enveloped in smoke.
next moment.
The rebels were almost about to rush into the military formation when a burst of screams rang out.
Clouds of blood mist exploded in this snowy night, like fireworks that were blooming all over the sky, and the snowflakes falling from the sky were dyed red.
Firearms of the Ming Dynasty have been widely used, and were deeply used as early as the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the Ming Dynasty's army and horses conquered the north and south to unify the Central Plains.
The generational difference between firearms and cold weapons would have brought a huge imbalance to the war.
But now, in front of the main hall of Prince Jin's palace, the long fire blunderbuss held by the Jin Yiwei are more powerful and more accurate. They can no longer just let go of firing a shot, but can shoot wherever they point within a certain distance.
In this way, the lethality and power caused were once again increased based on the previous ones.
The three rows of Imperial Guard officers and soldiers behind the wall of the Yulin Guards were in an orderly manner. After one round of emptying, they immediately retreated to the end, and the next round came forward.
Aim and shoot.
The smoke, illuminated by fireworks all over the sky, vaguely enveloped the entire military formation, as if it were a heavenly soldier falling from the sky, wrapped in clouds and mist.
The three parties of people who rushed from all over the Jin Palace to the main hall of the palace had no idea that there was already a military formation waiting for them here.
And they never thought that there would be such a powerful firecracker waiting for them here.
The whole square was filled with gunpowder smoke, and countless rebels were howling.
Being shot to death may be considered the best outcome at this time.
Those who were hit by the fire cannon, but did not hit any vital points, and just fell to the ground, suffered the most.
Enduring the pain on his body, he also had to avoid being stepped on by his companions behind him.
The panic about death made these people roar and wail continuously.
"rush!"
"Our people are about to rush into Prince Jin's Mansion from outside."
"As long as we hold back these imperial troops and rush to the front of the formation, we will be the first to win!"
"In the future, when it comes to rewards for merit, we will all be at the top."
The three parties responsible for supervising the battle behind the entire team began to shout continuously, reminding the people in front to continue to speed up and attack the military formation.
Hundreds of people have fallen to the ground. They have paid such a heavy price and have not even touched the military formation on the opposite side. It is impossible to retreat no matter what.
And on the steps.
Gao Yangzhi was nervous, but also a little dissatisfied.
He whispered: "This time the Northern Patrol did not carry the new artillery developed by Zhang Shangshu. If two artillery were set up here at this time..."
Gao Yangzhi glanced faintly at the main square of Prince Jin's Mansion, which was filled with smoke and littered with corpses. He was quite disappointed.
General Ying Tian will supervise the newly built artillery. He has seen its power.
Especially the kind of artillery that can only be installed on new warships or fixed on the city walls.
All it takes is one shot.
The young imperial cabinet minister swore.
With just one shot, the gang of rebels in front of them will be wiped out in a flash.
There is no need to set up fixed artillery or calculate distances.
Just flatten the muzzle of the artillery.
Load up the blooming bombs.
The soldiers lit the fire.
This gang of rebels can say goodbye to this world.
Zhu Yunxi put his holding hands into his sleeves, raised his arms, and closed them in front of his chest.
He looked at Gao Yangzhi beside him with ambiguous eyes: "I think that if the Governor's Office wants to open a separate prison, you must be the first to be arrested."
"Huh? What do you mean, grandson?"
Gao Yangzhi turned around and looked at the ambiguous-looking emperor grandson in front of him with puzzled eyes.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head, then looked solemnly across the square at the rebels who were about to rush to the military formation, but there were not many left, and looked at the front of Prince Jin's palace.
"In the palace, the victory lies in being prepared versus being unprepared. It's not too difficult. The next step is the most critical moment."
Even after making all preparations and calculating all possibilities.
Zhu Yunxi still looked a little worried.
Zhu Fan, who was beside him, put his big hand on his shoulder.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at the Third Uncle Wang.
Zhu Fan shouted in a low voice: "Don't worry! With Third Uncle here, even if our palace is completely destroyed, we can still escort you out safely!"
"Third uncle..."
Zhu Fan shook his head, and then whispered: "Don't worry, we haven't done anything important near Taiyuan City these years, but there is a secret passage under the throne in the main palace, which leads directly to the Fen River. If it really can't be blocked here tonight, we will
Run away. Let these damn rebels occupy an empty palace, and then it’s time for us to besiege them!"
His Royal Highness, Prince Jin of the Ming Dynasty, plausibly claimed that there was a secret passage under his throne that led to the Fen River outside the city.
Zhu Yunxi and Gao Yangzhi, who were beside him, couldn't help but look sideways, their faces full of surprise, but they felt that this matter was not that unacceptable.
Zhu Yunxi finally understood at this time, and it was no wonder that the third uncle could shout out that he wanted to be with Taiyuan City, and even sent the third aunt and the brothers and sisters to Yingtian.
This is to make it easier for people to escape.
"Jinyiwei! Free fire!"
"Habayashi Guards! Meet the enemy!"
Just when the two of them were extremely surprised, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, who was leading the battle, roared again.
Following his order, the Jin Yiwei armed with long blazing guns began to shoot randomly at the rebels who had rushed forward.
At the front, like silent mountains, the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards began to line up, holding spears in both hands, and stepped forward to crush the rebels who rushed towards them.
There are only more than 500 Jinyi guards and more than 500 Yulin guards.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without any casualties, almost all the rebels in the Jin Palace were wiped out.
The spear in Yulin Wei's hand kept coming out.
The spears are like a forest.
Under the heavily armored formation and unified military formation.
Even the rebels who rushed over had no chance at all to break through this mountain-like military formation.
Every time the spear is thrust out, it will bring up a cloud of blood mist.
After veneering on both sides.
The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards decisively dropped the spears in their hands and pulled out the two-handed swords at their waists.
The rebels' swords and spears struck at the Yulin Guards officers and soldiers wearing bright armor. At most, they only made a few muffled sounds or a few sparks in the Jin Prince's Mansion.
With heavy armor like this, only brute force attacks with blunt weapons can cause such damage.
When the Jinyi guards began to put down the long fire guns and drew out the Xiuchun knives from their waists.
In the entire square in front of the main hall of Prince Jin's palace, the rebels fell one by one.
Those at the back began to want to retreat.
However, these people have never been Jin Yiwei's opponents.
The Yulin Guards moved slowly due to the heavy armor on their bodies. However, the Jinyi Guards were not affected and moved to the front of the Yulin Guards formation in an instant.
The rebels who can't be cut down by Xiuchundao can also be killed by powerful crossbows.
The whole ground was wailing.
The Yulin Guard officers and soldiers who pressed up from behind began to use the knives in their hands to deal with the noisy wails.
Snow water is flowing on the ground, melting the snow in the corners.
Tonight, any rebel with weapons in front of the army will not be left alive.
Fu Xuesheng, who was hiding behind the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion, slumped on the bottom step, looking at everything in front of him with straight eyes, his legs trembling, and his whole body trembling.
This is nearly a thousand people.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it was all gone.
The imperial court is so powerful.
This gang of rebels can be a big deal.
"Your Highness, the rebels in the city have come to attack Prince Jin's Mansion!"
Just when Fu Xuesheng was about to turn around and climb up the steps to the emperor's grandson to show his loyalty and surrender.
From outside the palace gate, several officers and soldiers rushed in quickly.
Zhu Yunxi frowned and looked at Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen who had already begun to direct the officers and soldiers to regroup.
He gave a low drink.
Then he also pulled out the saber from his waist.
"Tonight, I am alone with all the soldiers!"
"Tonight, I will kill the enemy with my fellow soldiers!"
