Resisting the rebel attack for the first time undoubtedly improved the morale of the defenders. Everyone cheered loudly. At such a critical moment, morale is far more important than the number of people. Even if you have a million troops, you dare not If you step forward to attack, you can only defend blindly, which is nothing more than consuming the opponent's physical strength!
"Report...!" A palace guard ran into the hall, "Report to the emperor, General Li Hanyan led four hundred Qilin guards to repel the enemy. Now the enemy has withdrawn from the palace gate, don't dare to act rashly!"
When Zhu Chufeng heard this, he sat up from the wicker bed and looked up to the sky with a big laugh, "Unless God destroys our Ming Dynasty, the Li family is full of loyal and righteous people. The Qilin Guards are comparable to the ancient beasts. They want to defeat the elites of my Ming Dynasty, but they still lack lessons!"
Zhu Yuejun also let out a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, there were actually four hundred Qilin Guards in the city. This should be enough to stop them for a while, but Zhao Xuanyi, where are you? If you don’t come back, your Yueyue will turn into mooncakes!
At this moment, Zhao Xuanyi is sitting in the carriage, holding Tang Mi in his arms. The two of them are disheveled and enjoying a delicious lunch. The two of them have lived a shameless life in the carriage these days. Happiness is a god, and Zhao Xuanyi basically He didn't let Tang Mi put on clothes. Even when dining, he had to let Tang Mi stay naked with him!
Holding a leg of lamb in his hand, Zhao Xuanyi took a bite. Tang Mi kissed Zhao Xuanyi's lips and sent all the wine into Zhao Xuanyi's mouth. Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly caught the wine and said, "Smells! Hahaha!" Zhao Xuanyi hugged Tang Mi's waist and said, "I think the wine pond and meat forest back then were just like this!"
Tang Mi rolled her eyes at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "You are like a fool now. You have only traveled less than 200 kilometers in three days! You are just fooling around!"
"Oh, you still blame me, who shouted my name in my ear and asked me to love her? I still... ugh?" Before Zhao Xuanyi could finish, Tang Mi covered her with her jade hands. Mouth, Zhao Xuanyi took away Tang Mi's hand and laughed loudly, "Come, let me eat the meat buns!" After Zhao Xuanyi said this, he got into Tang Mi's arms!
This life was extremely luxurious and decadent, but it also gave Zhao Xuanyi his first taste of the feeling of being drunk and dreaming. This was much more fun than being in a brothel!
And Shen Wei is taking the other Qilin Guards to rest in place. This mission is just a fat job. Everyone is very relaxed. As long as the money is not lost, they can just play and relax on the road!
Just when Shen Wei picked up the mutton and ate it, a homing pigeon flew in front of Shen Wei and landed gently on the wooden pole nearby. Shen Wei put down the mutton and clapped his hands, then took out the homing pigeon and cut off his ankle. I took off the note and opened it. The color on my face instantly disappeared!
He turned around and ran towards the Qilin chariot. Because he was too anxious, Shen Wei stepped on a piece of gravel under his feet. He stumbled and almost fell. He quickly got up and continued running. The Qilin guard on the side saw it and laughed loudly: "Brother Shen, this Why are you drunk without drinking?" The other Qilin Guards also laughed!
Shen Wei ran outside the carriage and hurriedly patted the carriage, "Young Master, come out quickly, the sky is falling, something big has happened in the city!"
Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised when he heard Shen Wei's roar, and looked at Tang Mi, "Wait for me in the car, I'll go take a look!"
"Yeah!" Tang Mi gave Zhao Xuanyi a wink. For a girl like Tang Mi who is good at scheming, she naturally knows how to coax a man to heaven! Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and kissed Tang Mi on the lips, then picked up his clothes, put them on his body, and opened the iron door of the carriage!
After arriving outside, Zhao Xuanyi squatted on the carriage and said, "What's going on? Look at you in such a panic!"
"Young Master, a group of bandits who came from nowhere have captured the capital!"
"What?" Zhao Xuanyi was so frightened that he fell off his legs from the carriage. He looked extremely embarrassed. Shen Wei hurriedly helped Zhao Xuanyi up. "The capital has been captured? How is it possible? Do you think my 60,000 Qilin Guards are freeloaders?" "
Tang Mi in the carriage also heard it, and hurriedly took the skirt, put it on and walked out of the carriage. Now is not the time to fool around!
"The Guanghua Gate of the capital was captured. Forty thousand enemy troops poured into the capital. The Qilin Guards did not send troops. I don't know why!" Shen Wei handed the note to Zhao Xuanyi!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw that it was sent by Zhu Yuejun, he was instantly angry, "What the hell! Is that enough? You actually captured the capital when I was not in the capital!" Zhao Xuanyi cursed angrily!
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Shen Wei asked.
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Tang Mi, who was wearing a red skirt. Tang Mi just smiled and said, "Go quickly. I will send a letter to my father immediately, asking him to lead troops to help Beijing immediately!"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed and took Tang Mi's hand, "Go back to the Far East and wait for me!"
"I... want to go back with you! I can help!" Tang Mi said.
Zhao Xuanyi immediately refused, "No! We don't even know who our opponent is this time! The opponent can actually prevent my Qilin Guards from sending troops, and they have already captured the capital. They must have some skills. You can return to the Far East immediately with your military pay!"
"I'm going back to the capital to rescue. If I can get it back, that's it. If I fall, the Ming Dynasty will have to rely on you, the female Zhuge. The two of us can't be trapped by each other, otherwise who else can turn the tide?"
"But...?" Tang Mi was very worried about Zhao Xuanyi.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a fool! Time is tight, act immediately!" Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Shen Wei, "Immediately separate the three thousand Qilin Guards, and 1,500 people will continue to transport military pay to protect Miss Tang back to the Far East. The remaining The next 1,500 Qilin Guards will follow me back to Beijing to rescue him!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted!
"yes!"
"Wait!" Tang Mi immediately shouted, "Rescuing the driver is far more important than my return to the Far East. Just take 2,500 Qilin Guards back to the capital and leave 500 people to help me drive the driver!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "No, this batch of military pay is very important, and when I return to the capital, there are still more than 50,000 Qilin Guards available. I will leave the carriage for you. You must go home safely! Brother Shen, prepare immediately and return to the capital in a quarter of an hour!" "
"Yes!" Shen Wei immediately went to make arrangements!
Tang Mi grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's hand, her eyes full of reluctance, "Be careful!"
"Don't worry, the carriage will be given to you! Various agencies have also taught you, and you have to protect your own safety!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yeah!" Tang Mi nodded lightly!
Zhao Xuanyi immediately turned around and led a horse. "What are you doing? Immediately organize the equipment and give all the arrows and grenades to the brothers who are returning to Beijing. Wear enough food for one day and keep the rest. It's useless." Leave all your belongings behind and travel light!”
"From now on, all the brothers going to the Far East will give up their horses and walk! Those returning to Beijing will bring two horses each. If you are thirsty, drink on the horse, and if you are hungry, eat on the horse. We are marching in a hurry, and the horses will die from exhaustion. For the spare horse, we must be quick and prepare immediately. Are all of them big girls? Why are we dawdling?" Zhao Xuanyi kept roaring, and all the Qilin Guards got ready immediately!
"All brothers who are returning to Beijing, take off your soft armor and give it to the infantry brothers. This can reduce the weight of the horse by dozens of kilograms!" Shen Wei shouted!
When all the Qilin Guards heard this, they were all stunned: "Brother Shen, the soft armor is off, how can we defend ourselves?"
"We have some spares when we return to the military camp. Now, hurry up and take them off!" Shen Wei gave an order, and the 1,500 Qilin Guards took off their outer leather jackets, and then took off their iron-ringed soft mail armor and handed it over to another group. Brothers carry!
A quarter of an hour later, 1,500 Qilin Guards were ready. Each man was equipped with two war horses. Those who were riding were exhausted and replaced with horses that were not ridden. The horses would not rest until the man died! Zhao Xuanyi didn't talk nonsense. He waved his hand and immediately turned around and rushed towards the capital!
Three thousand horses and one thousand five hundred Qilin Guards began to rush quickly in the direction they were coming from. Everyone brought nothing but weapons and some dry food and drinking water, just to speed up!
Tang Mi stood on the carriage wearing a red skirt, looking at the Qilin Guards who had just set off, her eyes full of worry, especially Zhao Xuanyi, would he just take everyone back? Why is his figure so blurry?
"Tang Qian!"
"Miss!"
"Get the doves!"
"Yes!" Tang Qian nodded!
In a spacious courtyard in the capital, the man in black and several leaders were holding a map of the palace to discuss. "What good ideas do you have?" the man in black asked.
Several leaders looked at the map and then shook their heads, "Sir, why are there still Qilin Guards in this capital? This is not easy to fight!"
"That's right! The Qilin Guards are famous for their ability to fight with fewer elites! Back then, only a few hundred people were sent out, and they were enough to sweep through thousands of bandit dens, with basically no casualties! But now we don't know what's inside the palace. There are so many Qilin Guards, we can’t take risks!”
"That's right! Our attack in the morning was witnessed by everyone. We have never seen their weapons. The flying stone lock was locked directly in the middle of the ladder, and then it exploded. Without the ladder, how can we get to the city gate?"
"Yes! The problem now is that we don't know how many strange weapons they still have. If they have thousands or tens of thousands of them stored in the palace, then we can't use human lives to fill them!"
When a group of people talk about the Qilin Guard, they become very angry. This shows how dangerous the Qilin Guard is in their hearts! The man in black also knows how powerful the dog guards are. He has brought so many people with him. If he attacks by force, he doesn't know how many people will be lost, and he may not be able to successfully attack them!
At this time, a hearty laugh came, "Hahaha! I don't know what you adults are worried about!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Liang Yun walking out. The man in black frowned slightly, "What do you mean, Mr. Liang?"
"Simple, let's think about it, how many people are in the palace now?" Liang Yun asked.
"There are about 800 palace guards, and now there are also elites from the Qilin Guards and the General's Mansion. A conservative estimate is about 1,500!" said a servant on the side.
"No, no, no... you don't understand what I mean! I mean how many people are there in the palace! What you are talking about is just the defenders, plus the royal family, as well as the concubines, concubines, eunuchs, and maids in the harem! Young Master Said there are nearly 3,000 people in the palace!”
"And these three thousand people have been besieged by us in the palace, and the palace has to transport a lot of food and vegetables from outside every day. All the ingredients in the palace need to be fresh. If they are not fresh, they will be punished. In other words, There isn’t much food stored in the palace!”
After hearing this, the man in black suddenly laughed, "You mean...sleepy!"
"That's right, they won't have food for two days at most. Let's starve them for a few days and then attack. Will they still have the strength to fight? If they don't attack, they will be defeated!" Liang Yun said with a smile.
After everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement. There was no need to injure soldiers or generals, and there was no need to kill in bloody battles. It only took a few days. This method made everyone nod in praise!
The servant next to the man in black frowned, "Although time can kill the royal family, it will also increase the danger for us. Now that we have captured the capital, it is estimated that in a few days, Zhao Xuanyi and all the princes and generals will be able to After receiving the information, what if they attack you first?"
After hearing this, the man in black smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid of this. I have a way. Send an order to me and surround the palace. Anyone who comes out will be killed. Even if I am hungry, I will let them starve to death inside. Four days later Attack the palace!"
"Yes!" everyone shouted.
The palace has also noticed this major problem. Now there are more people in the palace than the other party thought. The total number of people in the palace has exceeded 3,500! This number of people is undoubtedly a heavy burden for the palace!
The Qilin Guards persisted outside for a day, and at night, a group of eunuchs and maids brought dinner!
Tang Tianli, Sun Yan and others laughed happily. "I didn't expect that we would be able to eat in the palace in this life!" Tang Tianli said with a smile.
