Chapter 566: Cannibalism(1/2)
Jin Palace.
In front of the palace hall, countless rebels filled the entire square.
Those rebels who couldn't break in turned to other places in the palace.
What can be expected is that after tonight, the Jin Palace of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by war and rebellion.
In the square and under the steps in front of the main hall, corpses were already strewn everywhere, piled up like mountains.
Countless rebels stepped on the corpses of their companions, trying to break through the obstruction of the imperial military formation in front of them and kill the bright yellow attacker behind them.
The smell of blood is everywhere.
"The Habayashi Guards can't stand it any longer. They have begun to move slowly."
On the steps, Gao Yangzhi looked worriedly at the battle situation in front of him.
The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards, wearing heavy Ming armor, were like an iron wall, blocking the oncoming rebels.
Moreover, the heavy armor of the Yulin Guards officers and soldiers was very strong in defense. No matter how much they stabbed with the swords and guns in the hands of the rebels, it was difficult to cause substantial damage.
However, the heavy armor also hindered the movements of the Yulin Guard officers and soldiers, increasing the physical exertion of the officers and soldiers.
As the Habayashi Guards officers and soldiers were exhausted and fell to the ground due to mistakes, many rebels would immediately come in with long spears and stab them through the gaps in the armors of the officers and soldiers.
Officers and soldiers began to suffer casualties.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were also solemn.
What he saw in his eyes were these brave officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard who were not afraid of death. Even if they were exhausted or fell to the ground, they were still trying to resist the rebel attacks.
No one wanted to escape, and no one was willing to lay down their weapons and surrender.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, who was supervising the battle, and roared: "Cao Zhen!"
Cao Zhen turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at the emperor's grandson with a solemn face. He immediately understood and nodded heavily.
Immediately, Cao Zhen spat.
He waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the array of troops in front of him.
"Jinyiwei! Retreat to the steps, and the fire blunderbuss scatters!"
Now it was time to put all the people's efforts into full play. Cao Zhen did not care about maintaining the military formation and asked everyone to stand in front of Taisun.
At this time, the Jin Yiwei holding a long fire gun retreated to the top of the steps and attacked from high to low. The most important thing was to suppress the rebels behind.
Following Cao Zhen's order.
Jin Yiwei began to retreat rhythmically toward the top of the steps.
A few moments.
There was a roar.
Countless projectiles were fired from the long fire cannon, almost touching everyone's heads, and fired into the rebels below, trying to isolate the rebels and interrupt the opponent's continuous attack.
However, Cao Zhen kept issuing military orders and continued to shout: "Go forward to defend the Qianhu camp to resist the rebels. The Yulin guards retreated to protect the emperor's grandson and take a rest."
The time has come for hand-to-hand combat.
The officers and soldiers of Qianhu Station who were escorting Zhu Yunxi and others into the city tonight were immediately ordered to rush to the front with their swords through the gap left by the Yulin Guards, and began to fight with the rebels in front of them.
Groups of Habayashi Guard officers and soldiers maintained stable formations, tending to the wounded and carrying the weak as they slowly retreated toward the rear.
Zhu Yunxi did not retreat even a step.
From the beginning, he stood on the steps and refused to step back.
The sight was filled with gunpowder smoke, corpses were strewn across the field, and blood flowed into rivers.
Countless limbs and broken arms lay across the cold ground, and the blood changed the color of the square in front of the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.
The emperor's grandson was so calm.
Naturally, it falls in everyone's eyes.
Even though he was anxious and looking forward to the reinforcements that had not arrived for a long time, he felt a little relieved after seeing Zhu Yunxi's demeanor.
Not to mention the court officials accompanying the Northern Patrol who had never seen much war.
Even the young Wang Xinling, holding a dagger in his hand, looked at the increasing number of rebels in front of him with a solemn expression.
As long as these rebels dare to get even half a step closer to Taisun, the dagger in his hand will be thrust out.
The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were even more astounding as they took out a pocket pen and paper from their arms. From time to time they looked up at the battlefield in front of them, sometimes they frowned and thought hard, and then they bowed their heads and recorded carefully in the book.
These are the actual records of the great grandson of the country who is not afraid of battle.
The official was already thinking that as long as these words were brought to Huitian City, Taisun's reputation would surely rise several stories higher again.
And behind everyone, in the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.
It's also a mess.
The stern and indifferent guards of the Jin Palace walked around, staring at the officials of the Third Division of Shanxi Province who needed to be seen in the past. They watched carefully with cold eyes. Once anyone made any changes, it would be him.
First-level military merit in hand.
The continuous sound of firecrackers and the incessant sounds of fighting outside the palace frightened everyone in the palace, making the officials and gentry who were used to daily enjoyment feel uneasy.
Sun Gong, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province, had a face as black as ink, and the development of the matter had gone beyond his imagination.
Zhou Yunkun, who was the inspector of Shanxi Province, remained silent. From the moment he was detained under the order of the emperor's grandson to the moment he was escorted into this hall, he never uttered a word.
Liu Liang's expression was solemn, and a trace of panic flashed through his eyes from time to time. But in the panic, there was also a little bit of happiness.
After all, I didn't get involved too deeply. I ordered the soldiers from the garrison in the city to go out to join the rebellion tonight.
If not, it doesn't matter whether Zhu Yunxi who is outside the palace at this moment will be caught.
There are always people who can escape from Taiyuan City.
As long as the news spreads to Tiancheng, once Liu Zongsheng and others are suppressed by the court, he will have to be liquidated.
But now he wants to survive and make a break with the past events, but Liu Liang is temporarily agitated and can't think of a way to save himself.
However, Guo Yuchuang, the political envoy of Shanxi Province who single-handedly determined the list of Shanxi merchants shortlisted for the opening of the central system, was the calmest among them.
He glanced faintly at Liu Liang's face, and whispered: "Why was Fu Xuesheng captured by the grandson? Have any of you ever thought about this problem?"
"That idiot from Xing County!"
Zhou Yunkun finally cursed in a low voice with a gloomy face.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Now is not the time to criticize anyone!" Changsun Gong said coldly, his eyes filled with coldness.
Zhou Yunkun asked: "What should we do now?"
Changsun Gong fell silent.
He also didn't know what he and others should do now, and he didn't even know how Zhu Yunxi would deal with them.
However, in view of the past and what Zhu Yunxi had done in Henan Province, Changsun Gong's mind became increasingly heavy.
Several people also fell silent.
Only after half a ring.
A somewhat eerie voice reached several people's ears.
"Someone knows what to do now..."
Everyone followed the sound and looked over.
Liu Liang's face was full of murderous intent, and he smiled sinisterly as he looked at several people.
Just when everyone was confused.
Liu Liang took out a short knife from his sleeve.
Not waiting for a few people to react.
"drink!"
Liu Liang gave a low shout, drew his knife and stabbed Zhou Yunkun who was closest to him.
The tip of the knife pierced Zhou Yunkun's heart. Liu Liang exerted force on his hand, and the four-inch knife was completely inserted into Zhou Yunkun's chest.
The sudden turn of events shocked several people into losing their faces.
Screams rang out from the crowd.
Everyone began to crawl on the ground and flee around.
Changsun Gong and Guo Yuchuang were so frightened that they froze in place. They wanted to escape, but found that their bodies had stopped obeying their orders and stayed in place.
Zhou Yunkun was suddenly stabbed in the heart. His whole face turned red instantly, his eyes widened. He opened his mouth feebly, as if he wanted to say something, but a few sobs came out of his throat.
Liu Liang's face was full of ferocity at this moment, he pressed his palm on Zhou Yunkun's face and said coldly: "You want to live, but I also want to live, so I can only work hard for you, Zhou Zhengtai!"
After Liu Liang finished speaking in a sinister tone, he glanced at Changsun Gong and Guo Yuchuang standing aside.
"Ahhh... don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Guo Yuchuang was trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was begging.
