Jiannu opened the way with more than 50 shield chariots, followed by 10,000 horses, and quickly approached the East Palace Guards.

"Hit me, beat me hard!"

Zhou Yuji shouted angrily, and the two hundred rifled guns in the first row of the East Palace Guards pulled the triggers almost simultaneously, and two hundred mini bullets bombarded the Jiannu Shield Car at high speed.

"Bang bang..."

There was a sound of mini bombs violently hitting the shield car. The shield car was bombarded by the mini bombs, and sawdust flew into the air. The outer cowhide and thick wooden boards were also easily penetrated.

However, it was difficult for the mini bullets to continue to penetrate the quilts and iron sheets on the shield car. This gave Jiannu hope of breaking up the Ming army's formation, and they accelerated the attack again.

"Bang bang..."

The four platoons of the East Palace Guards bombarded them continuously, and all the Jiannu who exposed their bodies were severely injured by mini-bullets, but the shield car continued to move forward.

Zhou Yuji shook his head helplessly:

"Your Highness, mini bullets cannot penetrate the shield car. We can only wait for Jiannu to rush thirty steps to kill the enemy with grenades!"

Zhu Cixiang's face didn't look good either. Before he could invest grenades, Jiannu had already started shooting arrows. There would definitely be casualties among the East Palace Guards.

The only way is to pull the AK47s on the two wings to attack the shield vehicle, but we are worried that Jiannu will split his troops again to attack the two wings and the rear, and then he will be attacked from both sides.

At this moment, the capital city gate suddenly opened, and an army rushed out of Desheng Gate.

Zhu Cixiang looked back and saw that it was the Yongwei camp led by Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, and the Shenshu camp led by the British prince Zhang Shize. He was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly:

"Let the Yongwei Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion protect the two wings of the East Palace Guards. The AK47 gunmen will immediately rush to the front of the formation. Don't be stingy with bullets and hit me hard!"

"Here"

The messenger took the order and urged the horse to come to Huang Degong and others:

"The Crown Prince has ordered that the Yongwei Camp and Shenshu Camp immediately protect the two wings of the East Palace Guards!"

"Here"

Huang Degong and Zhang Shize took the order and immediately led their men to protect the two wings of the East Palace Guards' phalanx.

Fifty AK47s were immediately pushed to the front of the formation, and they fired wildly at the shield vehicle.

Debris was flying from the Jiannu shield vehicles that were attacked, and soon some of the Jiannu shield vehicles were penetrated by AK bullets, and dozens of Jiannu slaves behind were beaten into pieces in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was finally stabilized, Hu Bao and Yue Yang hurried to Zhu Cihong's side and embarrassedly handed the ak to the crown prince for viewing.

"Your Highness, the repeating gun was worn out by the slave. Can you exchange it for two more?"

There are still twelve AK47s in Zhu Cihong's system warehouse. He will immediately replace them with two brand-new AKs for Hu Bao and Yue Yang. The remaining ten cannot be moved and will be kept in reserve!

The two men took the AK and immediately rushed to the front of the formation, raised their guns and fired wildly one after another. The shield car at the front of Jiannu was instantly penetrated, and the Jiannu who was close to the shield car was beaten into a hornet's nest...

More than 10,000 Jiannu were unable to defeat the 1,000-strong East Palace Guards. Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo who was watching the battle on the top of Deshengmen City, felt regretful and began to feel frightened.

If I had known that Jian Nu was so incompetent, I would not have embarrassed the Crown Prince today. I would have just let the East Palace Guards enter the city.

Fortunately, once the crown prince knew that he deliberately did not open the city gate, Xiao Shaxing would definitely not let him go after Zhu Chunchen repelled Jiannu.

Zhu Chunchen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth on the top of the city, cheering Jiannu on in his heart, but Jiannu didn't seem to be strong, and his charging speed was no different than a snail!

"Your Majesty is here!"

Just when Zhu Chunchen was feeling uneasy, a high-pitched voice suddenly came.

Comrade Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, armed with a sword, actually led a group of eunuchs armed with swords and guns to board the Victory Gate Tower in person.

Zhu Chunchen was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up. When he saw Emperor Chongzhen, he immediately started his performance, knelt down, kowtowed and cried...

"Your Majesty, the crown prince was attacked by the slaves. The minister was incompetent and had no time to open the city gate. Please punish him... wuwuwu..."

…

Emperor Chongzhen was talking nonsense with his ministers in the Huangji Palace, when suddenly the British public was extremely angry and rushed into the court in a panic.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened..."

Chongzhen and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked. Seeing the usually calm British Duke like this, the emperor and his ministers all thought that the capital had been lost. Chongzhen stood up from his throne and asked nervously:

"British Sir, why are you so alarmed?"

Zhang Zhi was so anxious that he could not finish his words:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has triumphed and has arrived at the Desheng Gate..."

Chongzhen and Wenwu both breathed a sigh of relief. This is a good thing. Why are you panicking?

But what the British Duke said later almost shocked the Manchu civil and military officials and Chongzhen:

"The crown prince returned triumphantly, but was turned away by Duke Zhu Chunchen from the Desheng gate. By chance, he was attacked by Jian slaves. The crown prince and the East Palace Guards were surrounded by more than 20,000 Jian slaves..."

The only person who comforted Chongzhen during this period was his own emperor. He seemed to see the shadow of Emperor Hongwu Gao in Zhu Cixiang.

Suddenly hearing that the emperor's triumphant return was besieged by more than 20,000 slaves under the Desheng Gate, Chongzhen panicked and shouted hurriedly:

"Quickly, order the Yongwei camp and the Beijing camp to rescue the prince at all costs. Gather all the Han generals and the eunuchs in the palace who can carry knives to follow me to rescue the prince..."

Wang Chengen was very obedient and immediately notified the Han general and the eunuchs in the palace who could carry swords to assemble!

When the officials heard this, they were shocked. The emperor was not a military commander, so he took the Han generals and eunuchs to rescue the prince. Isn't this a joke? There might be another Tumu Fort incident.

"Your Majesty must not..."

The ministers hurriedly knelt down to remonstrate, but Chongzhen seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person and became furious:

"Shut up, shut up everyone, anyone can get into trouble, except my prince. I still need the prince to help me revive the Ming Dynasty, so get out of here..."

The ministers were immediately speechless when they saw this. This was not Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. He was a complete lunatic.

Just when they were about to remonstrate again, they suddenly saw Emperor Chongzhen drawing his sword and running out of the Huangji Palace. The officials were stunned for a moment...

Don't underestimate the eunuchs in the palace. When the Ming Dynasty fell, those who fought against the bandits to the end were almost all eunuchs without eggs. They were far more loyal than those hypocrites who spoke of benevolence, justice and morality.

Chongzhen ran out of Huangji Hall, and there were already more than a thousand eunuchs and Han generals holding various weapons standing outside the Meridian Gate.

Emperor Chongzhen was so eager to save his son that he was completely confused and led the eunuch army and Han generals straight to Deshengmen.

Seeing Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Chunchen kneeling in front of him and crying bitterly, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately upset. He raised his foot and kicked Zhu Chunchen on the head, giving Zhu Chunchen a big somersault. Zhu Chunchen quickly got up and knelt down again without daring to move.

Chongzhen had no time to pay attention to Zhu Chunchen. He only had the emperor in his heart at this time, so he quickly walked to the crenel and looked down.

His desperate move shocked the Han generals and the soldiers in the capital. The two Han generals hurriedly stepped forward to protect the emperor with their shields.

"Your Majesty, be careful of stray arrows!"

Chongzhen didn't say a word, and stared nervously at the battlefield outside the city. He suddenly realized that things were not as bad as he imagined.

The Crown Prince rode on a tall horse and commanded the battle calmly. The Yongwei Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion protected him on the left and right. Although the East Palace Guards were small in number, they were able to defeat Jiannu and make it difficult for him to move even an inch.

Seeing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but smile on his face and murmured to himself:

"Good boy, my son is mighty..."
