Although the road in front of Cining Palace is not narrow, it is very crowded with so many people coming in at once.
To the south is the palace wall, to the north passing through Cining Palace is Tengxiang Zuowei, and to the west are the servants of Duke Cheng Guo following behind.
Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Chunchen blocked the road to supervise the battle.
Although the Beijing camp was frightened by the momentum of Zheng Yangxing's rebels, there were too many people and there was no way to retreat, so they had no choice but to turn back and fight.
"Fight them!"
"Our Beijing camp is here to kill thieves!"
The generals in the capital camp are taking the lead. Now they don't care which prince they want to support. They need to kill the rebels first.
"Bang bang bang!"
The gunman also fired immediately.
After a burst of smoke, they didn't hit many rebels. Instead, they saw Zheng Yangxing rushing into the formation, and in a moment he held the head of a Beijing camp general in his hand!
"The Beijing camp is just a flower stand! The armors are all rusty, just kill me!"
The Zheng family had less than 1,000 servants, but they just relied on their bravery and armor advantage to directly destroy a large part of the Beijing camp formation.
It all relied on Zhu Chunchen and Wei Zhongxian to supervise the battle with their weapons facing each other from behind, otherwise they would have been defeated.
If the Beijing camp were allowed to attack Nurhachi, the result would probably be even worse than this.
After a while, the screams shook the heaven and the earth, the weapon was blown away, and the severed hands and feet were visible.
The gunmen in the Beijing camp were so frightened that they fired randomly without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. The generals in the Beijing camp were afraid of being targeted, so they shouted to kill the enemy but backed away.
Thousands of people without fighting spirit and formation cannot beat hundreds of people who are desperate for their lives.
Coupled with the sparse torches and the similar styles of armor on both sides, it was chaotic in the dark and collapsed.
"Run! You can't fight!"
"These people are working hard!"
"Get out of my way! Whoever doesn't give way will be chopped down!"
The Beijing camp collapsed, but they were still huddled together, with people squeezing each other and stepping on each other's feet.
Individuals in trouble are not organized and are squeezing for space to survive. Most of them curse at the top of their lungs, and some are secretly stabbing the people next to them with swords.
As the number of killings increased, many people brandished weapons and chopped down their own people before fleeing.
The defeated troops first fled toward friendly forces.
"Tengxiang left guard! Anyone who dares to charge into my formation will be punished! Anyone who retreats without orders will be punished!"
"Execute!"
The defeated troops fled and charged into the formation, killing without mercy.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zhongxian was frightened, but when he saw that the defeated soldiers could not rush through and were about to be killed, he immediately gave up and fled to Tengxiang's left guard, and rushed back to Zhu Chunchen with all his strength.
"Can't retreat! Can't retreat!"
Zhu Chunchen shouted loudly, but no one listened to him.
The servants also drew their weapons and dealt a deadly blow to the defeated soldiers.
But where is the neat formation and fierceness of Tengxiang's left guard?
"Don't block the road!"
"You call us to die, but you don't do it yourself!"
The defeated soldiers yelled and denounced them, and directly greeted them with weapons. The servants of Chengguo Duke's Mansion were scolding and beating them, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
There were wolves in front of them, tigers in the back, and a pride of lions like Tengxiang Zuowei lying on the side. In the end, the most cowardly side was defeated.
"Wow! I can't stop it!"
"Master of the family! Master of the family?"
Zhu Chunchen, who was upright, mighty and domineering, and had the appearance of the most loyal minister, had already shrunk his neck and hid in the corner.
The servants couldn't see him, and they didn't completely fight against the collapsed Beijing camp, so they simply gave way to the southwest.
Wei Zhongxian had already led his army into Cining Palace. He climbed up to the palace to observe the overall situation. He happened to see the defeated troops break through the obstruction of Duke Cheng and flee crazily towards Xihua Gate.
Looking at Zheng Yangxing, who was leading the fight and covered in blood, he fell into deep thought.
"How come you usually claim to be one of the top two martial artists of the Ming Dynasty, and are so arrogant and boastful, but now you can't even beat a lost dog?"
Suddenly, he discovered that the situation on the battlefield had changed.
Zheng Yangxing's rebels, who were having a great battle just now, suddenly stopped attacking and withdrew directly?
He read it right.
Zheng Yangxing destroyed the Beijing camp, but also killed and injured nearly a hundred people, making the manpower even more scarce.
He knew very well that the current number of troops was getting smaller and smaller as the battle continued. It would be enough to defeat a few thousand Beijing camps. If he wanted to pursue them to the end, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
"Retreat! Return to Huangjimen and decide on the next plan."
The rebels quickly retreated, and Duke Cheng's people secretly lamented how lucky they were~
"The rebels were defeated by me!"
Zhu Chunchen did it again. This time he raised his arms and picked up a bloody sword from somewhere. It looked particularly exaggerated when paired with the extremely clean armor on his body.
"I, Zhu Chunchen, am one of the top two martial artists in the Ming Dynasty! How can a mere Zheng Yangxing beat me!?"
"Everyone from the Beijing camp! Come back! Chase the defeated enemy army!"
The defeated soldiers retreated to Xihua Gate. The city gate had long been under the control of the Wei Dynasty. Whether they were openly helping Zhu Chunchen or working for the prince in their true identity, how could they open the door?
Thousands of people in Beijing Camp gradually calmed down.
Although I was shocked to hear that Zhu Chunchen was so awesome, I was also very grateful to Duke Cheng for his kindness in letting his soldiers and horses get out of the way and not killing them all.
"Gong Chengguo is truly brave and benevolent!"
"He defeated the rebels so quickly, but he retreated and gave way to us."
"Hurry up and listen to Duke Cheng, good times are yet to come~"
There are still remaining generals in the Beijing camp, and they are also Zhu Chunchen's people, so they should be fooled quickly.
The defeated troops in the Beijing camp were deceived and came back again. Although there was a commotion, they still looked like they were outnumbered.
When they arrived in front of the Huangji Gate, they saw the rebels stationed on the towering gate tower and even setting up two Fran cannons. They were so frightened that they could only yell and curse from a distance, but no one dared to attack.
On the contrary, Teng Xiang's left guard marched to the east of Huangji Gate to block the rebels, Jingying and Cheng Guogong's way to the East Palace.
The rebels were resting, the Beijing camp was yelling and scolding, and Tengxiang's left guard was preparing to attack. Everything was in order, but the Duke was worried about when he would be able to control Zhu Youjian, the fifth son of the emperor.
……
After hearing Wei Zhongxian's personal report, Zhu Youxiao felt that the overall situation in the palace had been decided.
Zheng Yangxing's rebels could defeat the Beijing camp once and they could defeat it the second time. He would also use the Beijing camp as a breakthrough point.
Zhu Chunchen relied on bragging to maintain his reputation as a martial artist. When the Beijing camp was defeated, he would still run to him.
When the time comes, whether it's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and see if Zheng Yang can kick his ass.
Neither Zhu Chunchen nor Zheng Yangxing is a match for Tengxiang's left-back.
It's just that Tengxiang's left guard had few people and could not control the three troops entering the palace at the same time. He also had to be wary of Zhu Chunchen causing trouble and threatening the safety of his east palace, so he was not in a hurry to kill Zheng Yangxing.
"Eunuch Wei, you can go back and command Tengxiang's left guard. Don't rush to attack Huangji Gate. Wait until the rebels are impatient before attacking."
"Slave..."
"Report! Your Highness the Supervisor!"
Just as he was about to finish speaking, Liu Qiao, a member of Jinyiwei's team, hurried over.
"What's wrong, Liu Tongzhi? It's rare to see you panic."
Liu Qiao didn't care much and said hurriedly: "Donghua Gate was attacked and is about to fall. Someone in the East Factory responded to the rebellion, and another rebel army is about to enter the palace from the east."
"Dongchang!?"
When Wei Zhongxian heard that someone in Dongchang was involved in the rebellion, he felt that the matter was a bit difficult to handle.
