Just as some of the soldiers in the Beijing camp left the Forbidden City and were about to move cannons at the top of the city, a group of Ming soldiers wearing big red mandarin duck battle jackets and Fan Yang hats suddenly appeared outside Hongwu Gate. These Ming soldiers had white cloth strips on their arms.

Seeing that the soldiers coming towards him did not have white cloth strips on their arms, the soldiers with white cloth strips on their arms immediately squatted down. When both sides entered within thirty steps, the sound of bird guns like beans sounded, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp who rushed out of Hongwu Gate fell down one after another.

"Run into the palace!" Gao Wencai ordered.

Groups of Ming soldiers with white cloth strips on their arms rushed into Hongwu Gate. They passed by and saw Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets firing. Accompanied by the dense sound of guns, the soldiers in the Beijing camp blocking the front were knocked down one by one.

Gao Wencai led four teams of thousands of people to rush into the Meridian Gate. A row of muskets knocked down the soldiers of the Beijing camp beside Jinshui Bridge. After rushing across Jinshui Bridge, they saw Shi Kefa and others standing in front of Fengtian Hall at a glance.

"Gei Master Shi, Prince, where is the prince consort?" Zhao Peng asked.

Shi Kefa pointed to the direction of Jingyang Palace behind him: "They are in Jingyang Palace, you can go and save the car!"

"Thank you, Master Shi Ge!" After Gao Wencai thanked him, he immediately rushed towards Jingyang Palace with four thousand-person teams.

At the gate of Jingyang Palace, fierce battle is still in progress. Zhao Peng used the killer team of the Yuanyang Formation to block the door and cover the firearms team behind to load the firearms team. The firearms team that was loaded freely shot, knocking down some of the most fierce guys in a pool of blood. Zhao Peng himself also repeatedly tapped the bow and shot some of the opponent's archers.

Zhao Peng, who was organizing the Jinyiwei in Jingyang Palace to block the rebels, suddenly heard the sound of muskets not far away, and shouted excitedly: "Our reinforcements are here!"

Zhu Guobi commanded his army and continuously reinforced Xu Hongji who was besieging Jingyang Palace, and blocked the reinforcements of the opponents of the Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi in the imperial city to Jingyang Palace. Because there were not only Xu Hongji's Jingying Army besieging Jingyang Palace, but also Han Zanzhou's Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, but they were all stopped by Zhu Guobi's Jingying Army.

Han Zanzhou's Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi were indeed not very good at fighting alone. If they fought alone, there were still many masters with high martial arts skills among these people, but if they formed a formation, they could not even defeat the corrupt Jingying Army. Although the Jingying Army was so bad, they were relatively regular soldiers. The Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters were not worth mentioning in front of the regular soldiers who formed a formation. No matter how high their individual force was, they could not fight against the army.

Just when the Jinyiwei and the men's reinforcements were blocked and they were at a loss, a large group of Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets appeared behind them.

"It's over, we're surrounded!" The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang men screamed in despair.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army that came did not kill them, but the leader shouted: "Listen to the Jinyiwei and Fanzi, make way for us so that we can kill the thief army!"

The Jinyiwei and the men quickly spread out to both sides. Gao Wencai led a team of thousands of people through the middle. The spearmen immediately squatted down. The bird gunner behind aimed at the rebels in front and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang" the sound of guns was connected in one piece, and the sound of more than a thousand bird guns fired volleys was comparable to that of the Red Barbarian cannon. The bird gunman who shot close-range within thirty steps knocked down a large area of ​​Zhao Zhilong's men.

After the bird gun was shot, the bird gun gunman immediately retreated, and the spearmen were arranged in neat formations and pushed forward. The two-meter long spear was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and was sucking and spitting again and again, pushing Zhao Zhilong's soldiers one by one into a pool of blood.

Soon, Zhao Zhilong was left with only more than a dozen personal soldiers, surrounded by Gao Wencai soldiers.

"I am Zhao Zhilong, the uncle of Xincheng. Who dares to touch me?" Zhao Zhilong roared fiercely on the outside and weak on the inside.

"Catch it!" Gao Wencai snorted coldly.

A group of spearmen surrounded him. More than ten personal soldiers of Zhao Zhilong were waving various weapons and resisting to the death. However, in less than a minute, more than ten personal soldiers were stabbed into a horse's nest by two-foot spears. Only Zhao Zhilong, who was standing there, was also stabbed in the leg, and could not hold on to kneel on the ground. Then two swordsman stepped forward, held down Zhao Zhilong and tied him up like a rice dumpling.

After taking Zhao Zhilong, the infantry team continued to advance, like a sickle. Wherever they passed, the Beijing camp troops in front were defeated one after another. Not far from Jingyang Palace, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, led a group of Beijing camp troops to block Gao Wencai's way.

"I am the Duke of the Kingdom! Don't be arrogant if you are the thieves!" Zhu Guobi, wearing a golden helmet and a golden armor, stood up very coolly and stood in front of Gao Wencai and the others, looking quite cool.

However, Zhu Guobi was only cool for three seconds, and only heard Gao Wencai's order: "Breaking the gun!"

"Bang bang bang" the bird gun roared, and Zhu Guobi's body was immediately covered with blood holes with blue smoke, and he fell backwards.

"Duke Bao was beaten to death! Run!"

"Duke Bao is dead, run away!"

Thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp immediately scattered into birds and beasts, and turned around and fled.

"You are the thief, how dare you kill the Duke of the Kingdom! Your Majesty will destroy you and others!" Seeing Zhu Guobi beheaded into a Ma Feng nest with his own eyes, Zhao Zhilong roared with gritted teeth.

"Shut up!" A soldier slapped Zhao Zhilong's face with a heavy hilt, making his face covered in blood and his mouth full of teeth fell off.

The sound of guns in the palace city affected the soldiers who were attacking Jingyang Palace. The defeated soldiers reported to Xu Hongji: "Duke, go quickly, the rebels are powerful, Xincheng Bo falls into the hands of the thieves, and Duke Bao is brutally killed!"

Xu Hongji's personal soldiers surrounded him and said, "Dude, let's go quickly. The thief is powerful, and we are far from being an opponent."

Someone heard the bad news around and immediately spread the bad news. Soon, the news of Duke Baoguo being killed and Xinchengbo being captured spread throughout the army. The Beijing camp troops who were besieging Jingyang Palace instantly lost their fighting spirit and turned around and ran away.

Zhao Peng heard the sound of guns outside the courtyard getting closer and closer. He saw the army besieging him quickly disintegrated. He pulled out the Xiuchun sword and pointed out outside the courtyard: "Brothers, our people are here, fight out! Kill the rebel Xu Hongji!"

Seventy firearm soldiers rushed out of the yard, and two hundred and forty killers of the Yuanyang formation rushed out. The seventy firearm soldiers who rushed in front squatted down half-squatted, picked up the muskets, aimed at the group of personal soldiers surrounding Xu Hongji and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang" the flames spit out, white smoke filled the crowd, and screams rang out from Xu Hongji's personal soldiers, and a circle of personal soldiers on the periphery fell one after another in a pool of blood. In a blink of an eye, only half of the more than one hundred personal soldiers were left.

The firearm soldiers immediately retreated after shooting, and the killer team advanced forward and rushed towards Xu Hongji's remaining personal soldiers.

Seeing that Duke Wei was about to lose his head, the Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan rushed out and grabbed Zhao Peng from behind: "The Prince Consort, Xu Hongji is my Duke of Ming Dynasty. He has the iron pledge of the alchemy book (gold medal for avoiding death) given by Taizu in his hand. If he was killed, wouldn't it be against the will of Grandpa Taizu?"

Although Zhao Peng is a novice in history, he also knows that people with the gold medal of exemption from death often die the fastest. Although the gold medal of exemption from death says: Qing Shu has nine deaths and three descendants have died, it is said that there is a line of small words behind the gold medal of exemption from death: The so-called exemption from death, except for treason, and all death penalty will be exempted. Remember: the words "Except for treason".

"Your Majesty, can the iron certificate of alchemy be exempted from the crime of treason?" Zhao Peng asked knowingly.

Zhu Cilang shook his head: "No."

"Will that be done? Since the crime of rebellion cannot be avoided, will Duke Wei be killed by the crime? Your Majesty, you will not order the eradication of the traitors! Your Majesty, don't forget how those nobles betrayed the late emperor half a year ago!" Zhao Peng took the opportunity to stir up the flames and ignite the flames. After all, by the late Ming Dynasty, these nobles, like the vassal kings, civil officials and gentry groups, had become the cancer of the Ming Dynasty. If the cancer was not eliminated, how could they cure the terminally ill Ming Dynasty?
