Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 19 The Battle to Defend the Capital Begins

Qinglian, the majestic Saintess of the White Lotus Sect in Kunning Palace, is still curled up in the corner of the dragon couch, with a conspicuous blood-colored rose blooming on the white bedsheets.

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

But she never thought that she would be overthrown by Zhu Youjian, the most unbearable consequence for Qinglian, but she happened to be the saint of the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking of the crazy appearance of her drug attack, Qinglian gritted her silver teeth, hating Zhu Youjian to death.

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

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

Qinglian has long known from the officials of the Ming Dynasty that Emperor Chongzhen is completely a literati, when did he become so powerful.

From the bed fight last night, Qinglian could clearly feel the difference in Chongzhen, her swordsmanship has reached the peak of perfection, and she is completely a super-class swordsman.

Qinglian didn't know whether it was because of her intelligence error, or because Emperor Chongzhen had been hiding her secrets, her martial arts were abolished, and she had no chance of revenge.

As a saintess, of course she regards innocence as more important than life. Since she cannot take revenge, how can she still have the face to live in this world.

Suppressing the physical pain (although she used to be very good at martial arts, she was also a woman first, and she was still a young girl) Qinglian pulled down the bed sheet stained with her blood, and was about to hang herself.

Qianqing Palace

Just after dawn, Zhu Youjian opened his eyes. Today is a very critical day. Although he is a time traveler, he also knows what life and death are.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian opened his eyes, Ah Qing asked the two court ladies to bring her face wash water, wash her face a little, and after breakfast, Zhu Youjian got up to go to Zhengyangmen.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, put on the battle armor quickly."

Ah Qing carefully took the gold silk armor and put it on for Zhu Youjian. Seeing the gold silk armor in Ah Qing's hand, Zhu Youjian was taken aback:
"Ah Qing, where did this battle armor come from?"

Ah Qing smiled slightly:
"Return to Your Majesty, this is sent by the commander of Qinglong, and he specifically explained that the emperor must wear it."

Before Zhu Youjian could say anything else, Ah Qing carefully put on the gold silk armor for him.

Ah Qing's blue hair floated to Zhu Youjian's face with the wind, and his body also exuded the fragrance of virgin body, Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling refreshed.

Suddenly there was an urge to hug her, but the battle was imminent, and now was not the time, Zhu Youjian resisted the urge, went out, stepped on the horse and went straight to Zhengyangmen.

"Slow down, Your Majesty."

Seeing the emperor running so fast, Ah Qing hurriedly jumped on the horse and chased after him.

When the two climbed up to the top of the city and saw it, Zhu Youjian felt his blood boil immediately. He saw that the battle formations were all lined up under the city, and the three neat and mighty square formations shocked people greatly.

They are Qi Jiguang's Qi Family Army, Sun Chengzong's Shenji Battalion, Sun Chuanting's New Army, and of course Xuanjia cavalry standing in the formation.

In front of Sun Chuanting's new army phalanx, there are two rows of sword and shield soldiers. Tall shields are lined up in front of the formation. Behind the shields are more than 100 tiger squatting guns and gunners with flintlock guns on their backs.

Rows of flintlock gunners stood behind the tiger squatting guns, and behind them were cavalry. The cavalry horses hung special sabers and flintlock guns in their hands. This is their own cavalry.

Next to the cavalry in the headquarters are the fully armed Xuanjia iron cavalry holding Mo Dao.

If the opponent is the first to charge, the Ming army will first take turns to shell, then shoot, and then the cavalry will charge with their guns and knives.

The phalanx of Sun Chengzong's Shenji Battalion is similar to the new army's tactical arrangement, except for the tiger squatting guns, there are also some rocket vehicles.

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

After the artillery is also the flintlock formation, and after the flintlock formation is the Qi family army's ace mandarin duck formation.

"Haha, give me the binoculars."

Zhu Youjian nodded in satisfaction, laughed out loud and reached out to the soldiers around him for a telescope. A lieutenant hurriedly handed him a telescope. Zhu Youjian took it and saw that it was an old-fashioned single-tube telescope.

He looked back at the lieutenant general and asked:
"Whose subordinates are you?"

"The deputy general hastily bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully:
"Reporting to the emperor, the villain is the deputy general of the Qi family army. General Qi was worried about the safety of the emperor, so he left some new troops from the Qi family army to guard the city. In addition, there are many eunuchs who are also at the top of the city to participate in the defense of the city."

Sure enough, there were eunuchs guarding the city. According to historical records, more than 1000 eunuchs died in battle in the capital city. Now it seems that they are still more loyal than those so-called Qingliu.

Handing the binoculars to Ah Qing casually, Zhu Youjian exchanged them for a pair of binoculars in the system mall, joking, with the system in hand, how could he still use such an old-fashioned binoculars.

He raised his binoculars and looked at the camp of the rogues. At this time, the siege army of the rogues had already been dispatched, densely packed, people yelling and horses shouting, overwhelmingly flocking to the capital city.

Because of the existence of the cannon in red, Li Zicheng didn't dare to take it too seriously, for fear of being bombarded, the rogue camp was set up about three kilometers away from the capital.

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

The rogues are bound to take down the capital, and thus formed an offensive and defensive battle. As the defensive side, the cannon can exert its greatest power.

Seeing the army of rogue bandits getting closer, Zhu Youjian turned to Huang Chao and asked:
"Huang Chao, do you all know how to use these cannons?"

Huang Chao hastily bowed and saluted:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we have a lot of artillery here. As long as you give an order, these mighty generals at the top of the city will become a nightmare for the rogue army."

"Okay, look at the formation of the rogue army. Don't fire for now. After about half of them enter the effective range, I will take turns to shell them from the middle and cut them off at the waist."

"obey"

The three hundred red-clothed cannons shelled in turn, that is, 150 guns finished firing, and then the other 150 continued to shell, so that there was time to reload the shells, and the shelling would not stop or stop.

The vanguard of the rogues attacking the city was Tang Tong, a surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty. He originally belonged to King Qin, but he surrendered to Li Zicheng first, and now he has become the vanguard.

Tang Tongming knew that Li Zicheng used them as cannon fodder, so he had no choice but to lead an army of [-] to the capital without daring to say a word of disobedience.

Behind the [-] soldiers of the Ming army, there is a team of [-] rogue warlords. Anyone who dares to retreat or disobey the command will be beheaded immediately.

Behind the surrendered soldiers were Liu Zhongmin's 0 recruits (he was not the leader of the recruit battalion, but he took the initiative to follow these cannon fodder for the sake of fighting for the first place) and pulled dozens of cannons in red.

　Thanks to Chunyu, emptiness and loneliness, Liu Gang, 153...8477 brother, I have you in this life, waiting for the support of the boss!Thanks
