The men and horses of the two feudal lords set up their formations in front of the Xuanwu Gate, and were ready, while the Imperial Guards on the tower became spectators. (Professional e-book download available.
As soon as the fire came into contact, the two sides were ten feet away, and they both raised their bows, crossbows, and fire guns. No one dared to fire first. The two brothers Chengkun and Shengping glanced at the city gate plaque in unison. The three blue men of Xuanwu Gate
The gold letters on the bottom shine brightly in the sun, which is particularly dazzling.
Brothers are fighting each other, and the Xuanwu Gate Revolution in the Great Zhou Dynasty has come. There is no need to say nonsense at all. The brothers know each other too well. No matter how wide the dragon chair is, it can only accommodate one person. I think
To reach the top of the Nine Five, you must kill all competition.
King Qin was wearing heavy armor and looked at King Yan who was also wearing armor in the camp in the distance. Somehow, a scene from his childhood suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He and his second brother were playing in the imperial garden, chasing each other and fighting...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." King Qin was agitated and woke up from his memories. Yuan Feng was holding the horse's reins beside him and said hurriedly: "Stand back, be careful of stray bullets when fighting later."
King Qin nodded, rode his horse back, and looked back at his second brother before he did so. King Yan was looking this way, with cold eyes, as if he were looking at a stranger. King Qin lamented in his heart, killing each other is
The fate of a prince.
Just as the two brothers, King Qin and King Yan, were preparing to fight, a familiar figure appeared on the tower of Xuanwu Gate. The prince is here. Speaking of the prince's wisdom, it is really hard to praise him. Ordinarily, at this time, you can hide up there and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.
Yes, but he just showed up and shouted: "Second child, fourth child, my father has passed away to me, and you two haven't come back yet!"
When he said this, the following two people stopped fighting. The court meeting in the morning had already agreed to depose the crown prince. Although it had not been announced to the whole country, legally speaking, the eldest prince was no longer the crown prince, and the new crown prince had not yet been born. Although the emperor intended to do so,
The second child is the reserve, but now the situation is changing rapidly. Whoever can calm the chaos and control the overall situation in Beijing will be the final winner.
Chengkun was most worried. The position of crown prince that was once within easy reach suddenly changed. The boss, a cowardly guy, started a palace coup. Now the life and death of his father, the emperor, mother and concubine were uncertain, and all his plans were disrupted. How could he not be so anxious? He
As soon as he picked up the reins of the horse, he came out of the queue and cursed: "Chengqian, are you crazy and crazy! How dare you kill the king and commit rebellion!"
The prince responded: "Father, how are you doing? I don't worry about you, my second brother, but you and the fourth child led the troops to attack the Xuanwu Gate. What crime should you deserve!"
Upon hearing this, Chengkun and Shengping breathed a sigh of relief. As long as their father is still alive, their actions are legal. Not only are they innocent, they are also meritorious. Now the common enemy is the boss. The relationship between the two of them is
The conflict is so great that we can put it aside for the time being.
King Yan raised his riding whip, pointed at the prince and said to the left and right: "Capture this thief alive, reward you with a reward of ten thousand taels, and make you a general!" Everyone on the left and right started making noises.
The prince also said to the tit-for-tat: "Capture King Yan alive and make him a Marquis of ten thousand households!"
The morale of both sides was mobilized, and King Yan's subordinates rushed forward to attack the city. However, they were in such a hurry that they did not prepare ladders, ropes, etc., and they did not even have a door knocker. Their spears, swords, bows, arrows, and muskets were of no use.
Instead, they were shot back by a burst of arrows from the Xuanwu Gate. Dozens of corpses were left on the ground. The imperial guards won the first battle and cheered while waving their weapons. The momentum of King Yan's army was weakened.
The composition of the troops under the command of the King of Qin was relatively mixed. Except for the three hundred palace guards, most of them were Yuan Feng's troops. In addition, Yuan Feng had experienced hundreds of battles and was rich in experience. The King of Qin had basically never fought any battles, so the command power rested with Yuan Feng.
"What should I do?" King Qin asked anxiously.
"My lord, don't be impatient, I have my own countermeasures." Yuan Feng said, took out the command flag from his waist and danced it twice in the air. Five bronze cannons were immediately launched from the team. They were not very big and could shoot more than
The fist-sized cast-iron cannonball is equipped with two wooden wheels on an oxcart, making it very convenient to move around.
The cannon had been loaded long ago. The muzzle was leveled and aimed at the Xuanwu Gate. It fired a burst of fire. The distance was extremely close and the bullets were perfect. When the first cannon hit, a hole was made in the red lacquer door studded with copper nails, revealing the white chasm.
The wood, the Imperial Guards panicked and quickly fired arrows to suppress it. The Xiliang troops here also raised their fire blunderbuss, bows and crossbows and shot upwards. The Xuanwu Gate was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, and from time to time someone fell down screaming.
The palace guards used their big cowhide shields to protect King Qin tightly, fearing that their prince would be injured by stray bullets and arrows. Even so, King Qin's heart was still pounding, but Yuan Feng sat upright on his horse and remained motionless, with cold arrows coming from beside him from time to time.
It flew by, but he didn't even blink.
"I'm not as good as him..." King Qin thought to himself.
The third shot was raised at an elevated angle and hit the tower of Xuanwu Gate. The masonry and rubble suddenly flew everywhere, killing and injuring a large number of soldiers on the tower. Even the prince was injured by the rubble and had to retreat. The morale of the Imperial Guards was low.
It was greatly reduced, and I squatted behind the crenel, not daring to make any mistakes.
The fourth cannon was fired with great accuracy, hitting the latch of the Xuanwu Gate gate. The two gates collapsed suddenly, raising a cloud of dust and smoke. When King Yan's army over there saw the gate open, they immediately wanted to cover their way in, but King Qin's side
The cannon suddenly turned around and faced them directly, frightening the Yan army to a halt.

Xuanwu Gate opened, and King Qin's army marched straight in. King Yan looked on and his face turned blue and white. It was not until the Qin army entered that he said bitterly: "It's a pity that the fourth child took the lead!"
After all the Qin troops entered, the Yan troops began to enter the city. The King of Yan had an idea and wanted to send people to seize Xuanwu Gate and cut off the fourth son's escape route. Unexpectedly, when he looked back, he saw that there was already a team standing on the wall of Xuanwu Gate.
The soldiers were looking down at them with blunderbuss.
"The fourth child is cruel enough!" King Yan sighed. Since he has no intention of attacking first, let's deal with the prince together first. King Yan waved his hand: "Qing Qing Palace!"
The palaces of the Forbidden City are so deep that King Qin and King Yan only brought more than 2,000 people, so it was not noticeable at all. The soldiers had never entered such a deep palace in their lives. The palaces with glazed tiles and the magnificent corridors dazzled them.
, how can you still distinguish between southeast and northwest?
Yuan Feng led his soldiers to attack the fifth palace in the east. Thunderous footsteps resounded on the neat stone road, with bright helmets and dazzling swords and guns. The eunuchs and maidens saw it from a distance and turned around and ran away in fright.
Quickly arriving at the cold palace where Concubine Rong was under house arrest, Yuan Feng stepped forward and cut off the iron lock with a knife, then kicked open the door. The two middle-aged palace ladies had long since disappeared. The courtyard was empty and lonely. Yuan Feng raised his hand and stopped.
The footsteps of the soldiers and generals only allowed King Qin to enter.
King Qin walked in quickly, opened the door and looked around. When he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, he hurriedly said: "Mother, come with me quickly."
Concubine Rong stupidly let King Qin pull her out of the room. When she appeared in the yard, Yuan Feng felt his heart skip a beat. He had vaguely seen this woman somewhere, but he had no time to think about it now.
He said urgently: "Go quickly!"
At this time, King Yan's soldiers and horses had already marched straight into the vicinity of Kunning Palace. The Kunning Palace where the Queen lived was located to the south of the central axis of the palace. The soldiers and horses entered from the Xuanwu Gate and were hit here. Chen Huaili led
There was a bloody battle between the Royal Forest Army and the King of Yan's army, with both sides suffering casualties. After all, the Royal Forest Army was composed of the elite of the Forbidden Army. They were tall, powerful, and familiar with the terrain, which gave them a lot of advantages. However, the King of Yan's army was all men from Yan and Zhao, and they had experienced hundreds of years of experience.
The battle was unambiguous, with dozens of corpses left behind on both sides, regardless of the outcome.
King Yan launched his army and attacked fiercely, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe. After all, the Yulin army had never fought before. They seemed to be tired under the continuous attacks. Seeing that victory was in sight, suddenly a cry came from Kunning Palace: "Second brother, your mother is here.
, if you don’t want her to die, retreat immediately!”
King Yan looked up and saw two soldiers escorting Concubine Shu on the steps of Kunning Palace. A sharp long knife was placed on the mother's neck. There was faint blood seeping out. The mother who used to be glorious in the past was now ashen.
, speechless.
The prince hid behind and continued to shout: "Second brother, don't force me to do everything!"
King Yan's eyes were about to burst, and all his generals were looking at him. Blood was dripping from the steel knife. King Yan's mind suddenly changed. His great cause could not be lost. He suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Chengqian, my mother is you."
My mother, if you want to kill your mother, then kill her! People in the world will know your dirty deeds. Do you still want to be the emperor? Just dream!"
The prince was so angry that he flew into a rage. The second son was as hard-hearted as iron and did not care about Concubine Shu's life. He was not that ruthless, so he had no choice but to hatefully order people to take Concubine Shu in. The two armies continued to fight.
…
There are only a few imperial guards in the palace. One is "protecting" the emperor in the Yangxin Hall, one is fighting in the harem, and the other is fighting with the Jinyiwei near Xihua Gate. The defenders of Meridian Gate and Donghua Gate have been transferred.
A large number of people were left, and there was a serious shortage of troops.
At the Meridian Gate, there were only a hundred Imperial Guardsmen guarding the city wall. Suddenly, they saw a crowd of people coming towards them. They were so frightened that they did not dare to resist, so they turned around and ran away. All the people came with white cloths wrapped around their necks, in different clothes, and with fierce expressions.
, looking at the style, there are many heroes in the world.
The heroes threw ropes, climbed up the Meridian Gate Tower, and opened the Meridian Gate inside. Mu Ying below raised her arms and shouted: "Brothers, charge!" A large group of people swarmed in.
Rushing into the Meridian Gate, you will see a spectacular square in front of you. The tall and majestic Fengtian Temple stands on the pedestal. The white marble railings and royal road are extremely majestic. A young woman in the crowd suddenly stopped and leaned on the ground with a long sword.
, laughed and said: "Imperial Palace, Dragon Chair, I am here."
Mu Ying also stopped and stood aside and sighed: "It's been twenty years and I'm finally back."
…
In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, the emperor is closing his eyes to rest. The sound of killings and cannons are getting closer and closer, and you can even smell the smoke. Yu Hu's figure is still standing at the door of the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. He has only one responsibility, and that is
Watch the emperor.
Suddenly, the emperor opened his eyes, and with a flash of light, he patted the table and said coldly: "Cao Shaoqin, what are you waiting for?"
