Before Zhou Yuji finished speaking, the sixty rifled guns in the first row spurted out anger:

"Bang bang..."

Seeing the Ming army raising firecrackers, Jiannu was not nervous but began to laugh at the gunmen of the East Palace Guards:

"Haha, you ignorant Mingguo, the matchlock gun is not only slow to ignite and reload ammunition, but also easy to explode. Don't they know that the fire gun is like a fire stick to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?"

Facing the rifled guns of the East Palace Guards, not only the Jiannu soldiers were crazy, but also the Jiannu Niulu Zhang Jin Laiyang looked down upon:

"What a bunch of stupid dogs. When they saw the Eight Banners Master charging, they even forgot to light the fire. The archers prepared, so that the bright dogs lost their memory..."

"Puff puff……"

As soon as Lai Yang gave the order, his chest was pierced by a mini bullet. The horse rushed out of the body for more than ten steps before falling off the horse. Yan Xiongying nodded with satisfaction and reloaded the ammunition.

This time, Manyi did not compete with Yan Xiongying for the credit of killing Jiannu Niulu Zhangjin Laiyang. He only targeted Jiannu Baijia soldiers.

Several conspicuously dressed white-armored soldiers were specially taken care of by the snipers of the East Palace Guards. Soon after the gunfire rang out, they fell off their horses and died.

Almost at the same time, more than 20 slaves were killed by Mini bullets. Their heavy armor could not stop the rapidly rotating Mini bullets from being fired at close range.

Regardless of whether they hit Jiannu or not, the gunners in the first row of the East Palace Guards immediately squatted down to reload their ammunition after firing.

The second row started firing, then the third row started to pull the trigger, and the three rows of guns fired continuously:

"Bang bang..."

Faced with three rounds of rifle fire from the East Palace Guards, Jian Nu found that all he could do was passively take the bullet.

The cavalry and archery they relied on for survival could not reach the distance of ninety paces, so they could only watch the Ming army sigh and suddenly become a mess.

Under the continuous bombardment by the East Palace Guards, three hundred Jiannu quickly fell to nearly two hundred people. Only then did they discover that there was something wrong with the Ming army's firearms:

"Cunning Minggou, there's something wrong with their firearms. Why can they shoot such a long distance without igniting them? Escape quickly..."

A few smart Jiannu turned around and ran away. Others quickly followed. They all said that Liu Zeqing was an expert in escaping. It turned out that Jiannu was not slow in escaping!

Fortunately, their team was disrupted by the East Palace Guards and stopped charging, otherwise they would not be able to turn around even if they were escaping.

Despite this, he was still chased by mini bullets from the East Palace Guards and shot many people to death.

After escaping 300 steps, they were out of the range of the rifled guns of the East Palace Guards. The Jiannu Eight Banners, who had been brave and invincible in the past, were now like bereaved dogs.

Zhou Yuji and others were not on horseback, so they could not chase Jian Nu. They were not idle when they saw Jian Nu escaping. They immediately went to chop off the head of Jian Nu who had been shot, and then added another blow when they saw that Jian Nu was still alive.

Six hundred Jiannu left the city and only 70 people were evacuated. These people were so frightened that they just whipped their horses and fled towards Changping City, but they soon became desperate.

Because another hundred or two hundred Ming troops appeared in front of them blocking the way, and they had exactly the same firecrackers:

"Bang bang..."

A burst of gunfire killed fifty or sixty slaves, leaving the remaining slaves running around like headless flies.

But no matter how they ran, a dozen Ming troops armed with rifled guns always appeared.

"Bang bang..."

Soon, only the last one of the three hundred Jiannu was left and was still trying to escape. A soldier from the East Palace Guards was about to shoot him to death, when the prince's voice suddenly came to his ears:

"Let him escape back to Changping!"

"Here!"

Hu Bao looked at Jiannu who was gradually going away and was a little confused:

"Master, why don't you kill them all?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled faintly:

"Everyone has been killed, how did Yangguli know to come to Tianshou Mountain to take revenge?"

…

Capital

Chongzhen has not received any good news since Jiannu entered the customs. He has been anxious all day and night, unable to sleep for several nights in a row, and he is getting thinner and thinner.

July 20

Chongzhen finally received good news.

Gao Yingxiang, the rogue bandit known as Chuang Wang, left Nanshan to command his troops in Xi'an. When his army arrived at Heishui Valley in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province, he was ambushed by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi Province, and was captured.

When Gao Yingxiang was captured, his confidants Liu Zhe, Huang Long and others were also captured by Sun Chuanting. This was definitely good news for Chongzhen.

After receiving the urgent report from Eight Hundred Miles, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and immediately ordered Sun Chuanting to escort Gao Yingxiang to Beijing as a prisoner.

But the capture of Gao Yingxiang did not make Chongzhen happy for a few days, and bad news came one after another.

After the Jiannu Yangguli captured Changping, the Azige and Abatai Jiannu armies successively captured Liangxiang and besieged Shunyi.

Shangguan Xin, the magistrate of Shunyi County, and the guerrilla rulers all commanded Su Shiyu and others to refuse to defend the city. After the city fell, all three of them died for the country.

Jiannu took advantage of the situation and captured Baodi, Dingxing, Ansu, Dacheng, Xiongxian, Anzhou Bingzihuan and other Kinki prefecture counties. Everywhere he went, life was devastated.

Jian Nu conquered many cities in the Gyeonggi region, and the Ming army's Qinwang troops could only watch from a distance. No one dared to fight. The most they could do was send cavalry to harass them and then turn around and run away.

Jian Nu has long understood the nature of the army. They only focus on attacking the city and looting. They don't pay attention to the various Qinwang troops at all. They like to follow me and watch the fun as they please.

It is roughly estimated that the slave builders killed at least 20,000 civilians, robbed as many as 50,000 people, gained more than one million gold and silver, and about 200,000 shi of food...

Zhang Fengyi, the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, could not command the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang. These people listened to the propaganda but did not listen to the instructions and completely turned into warlords. They only asked for military pay and food.

Obviously, some troops came here just for money and food under the guise of King Qin, and it was absolutely impossible for them to fight the slaves with real swords and guns.

They drank the blood of their soldiers and ate their free wages. They claimed to have 20,000 troops, but in reality they had at most 6,000. The only soldiers they could fight were their own few hundred or even thousands of servants.

The servants were raised by the generals on empty pay and the money deducted from the soldiers' pay. They were raised not to fight, but to protect the generals from escaping during the battle.

After receiving the military report, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then became furious and prepared to ask Zhang Fengyi, the incompetent Minister of War, to come to see him.

As the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fengyi was also very smart. He knew that it would be difficult to escape his responsibilities, so he ate rhubarb in the Tongzhou camp every day in order to escape as soon as possible.

Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the Supervisory Army, was also greedy for life and fearful of death. He followed various Qinwang men and horses every day and ignored them in order to win people's hearts. In fact, he couldn't control them.

It was already late at night. Queen Zhou was worried about Chongzhen's health, so she specially cooked ginseng soup for Chongzhen to replenish his health. She found that half of Chongzhen's hair had turned white in a few days.

Looking at the twenty-six-year-old Ming Dynasty Emperor, whose temples were now gray, Empress Zhou couldn't help but burst into tears. If possible, she really didn't want her husband to be the master of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen looked up at the increasingly haggard Queen Zhou, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Ever since he ascended to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the Queen had hardly had a good life following him.

Taking the ginseng soup from Queen Zhou, Chongzhen said:

"Go back and rest. No matter how hard Jiannu tries, he can't break the capital. I'm worried about that traitor. I hope he doesn't leave the city!"

Queen Zhou was not worried about her son, but at this time she could only comfort her husband with a strong face:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the Emperor. With the Emperor's intelligence, there shouldn't be any risk. I feel that he will not leave the city. Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body and wait until the Emperor builds powerful firearms to repel the slaves!" Like Daming Dynasty!
