Qinglian, the dignified saint of the White Lotus Sect in Kunning Palace, was still curled up in the corner of the dragon couch at this time, and a conspicuous blood-colored rose bloomed on the white chuang sheet.

Before coming to assassinate Zhu Youzhen, Qinglian thought about a lot of consequences, either successfully killing Emperor Chongzhen, or failing to assassinate and being killed by Jinyiwei.

But she didn't think that she would be pushed down by Zhu Youzhen, this kind of consequence that Qinglian could not bear the most, but she appeared, she was the saintess of the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking of the crazy appearance of her drug attack, Qinglian clenched her silver teeth, and hated Zhu Youzhen to death in her heart.

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

Because her skills have been completely lost, and now she has become an ordinary little woman, a little woman who is powerless.

Qinglian had long known from the mouths of Ming officials that Emperor Chongzhen was completely a literati, when did he become so powerful.

From the fight last night, Qinglian could clearly feel the difference between Chongzhen, and his swordsmanship had reached the point of reaching the pinnacle of supernatural perfection, and he was completely a super-first-class swordsman.

Qinglian didn't know if it was her own intelligence mistake, or if Emperor Chongzhen had been hiding it deeply, her martial arts had been abolished, and she had no chance to take revenge.

As a saint, of course, innocence is more important than life, since there is no revenge, where can there be face to live in the world.

Enduring the pain in her body (although she used to be strong in martial arts, she was also a woman first and foremost, and she was still a young girl) Qinglian pulled down the sheets stained with her blood and prepared to hang herself.

Qianqing Palace

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes, today is a very critical day, although he is a traverser, he also knows what life and death are.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen open his eyes, Ah Qing beckoned the two palace maids to bring her face water, washed up a little, and after breakfast, Zhu Youzhen got up and prepared to go to Zhengyangmen.

"Your Majesty will wait, quickly put on the armor."

Ah Qing carefully brought the gold silk armor to Zhu Youzhen to put on, and when he saw the gold silk armor in A Qing's hand, Zhu Youzhen was stunned:

"Ah Qing, where did this armor come from?"

Ah Qing smiled slightly:

"Back to Your Majesty, this is sent by the Qinglong Commander, and he specially explained that the emperor must wear it."

Without waiting for Zhu Youzhen to say anything, Ah Qing carefully dressed him in a golden silk battle armor.

A Qing's green silk floated to Zhu Youzhen's face with the wind, and his body also exuded a virgin body fragrance, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

Suddenly there was an urge to hug her, but the big war was imminent, and now was not the time, Zhu Youzhen resisted the impulse, went out and stepped on the war horse and went straight to Zhengyang Gate.

"Your Majesty, slow down."

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

When the two of them climbed to the top of the city, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt his blood boiling, and saw that the battle formations were lined up under the city, and the three neat and mighty phalanxes gave people a great shock.

They are Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, Sun Chengzong's Shenji battalion, Sun Chuanting's new army, and of course, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry standing in the array.

Sun Chuanting's new army was in front of two rows of sword and shield soldiers, tall shields were lined up in front of the formation, and behind the shields were more than a hundred tiger squat cannons and gunners with flintlock guns on their backs.

Behind the tiger squat cannon stood rows of flintlock musketeers, and behind them were cavalrymen, who were armed with special sabers and flintlock pistols on their horses, which were their own cavalry.

Next to the cavalry of the headquarters is the fully armed, holding the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry with a Mo knife, and the soldiers used by the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry itself are not Mo Knife, which is specially configured by Zhu Youzhen for the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

If the opponent is the first to charge, the Ming army will first turn over the artillery bombardment, then shoot and shoot, and then the cavalry will charge with their guns and swords.

Sun Chengzong's Shenji battalion phalanx, the tactical layout is similar to that of the new army, in addition to the tiger squat artillery, there are also some rocket vehicles.

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

After the artillery, it is also a flintlock gun array, and after the flintlock gun array, it is the ace mandarin duck array of the Qi family's army.

"Haha, give me the telescope."

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, laughed and stretched out his hand to ask the soldiers around him for a telescope, a deputy general hurriedly handed him a telescope, Zhu Youzhen took a look, it was a single-tube old-fashioned telescope.

He looked back at the lieutenant general and asked:

"Whose subordinates are you?"

The lieutenant hurriedly bowed and replied respectfully:

"Back to the emperor, the villain is the deputy general of the Qi family's army, General Qi is worried about the emperor's safety, leaving some new troops of the Qi family army to defend the city, and there are many eunuchs who are also participating in the defense of the city at the head of the city."

Sure enough, there are eunuchs guarding the city, and history records that more than 1,000 eunuchs died in the Jingshi City, and now it seems that they are still more loyal than those so-called Qingliu.

casually handed the single-tube telescope to Ah Qing, Zhu Youzhen exchanged for a pair of telescopes in the system mall, just kidding, with the system in hand, how could he still use such an old-fashioned telescope.

Raised the binoculars and looked at the Liukou camp, at this time, the Liukou siege army had been dispatched, densely packed, people shouted and horses, overwhelmingly flocking to the Jingshi City.

Because of the existence of the red-coated cannon, Li Zicheng did not dare to hold it up, for fear of being shelled, and the Liukou camp was set up about three kilometers away from the Beijing Division.

Not only the red-coated cannon, but even the effective killing distance of the current Shenwei General Cannon, it is impossible to reach three kilometers.

Liukou is bound to take down the Jingshi, so that an offensive and defensive battle has been formed, and as a defensive side, the cannon can exert its maximum power.

Seeing that the army of rogues was getting closer and closer, Zhu Youzhen turned his head and asked Huang Chao:

"Huang Chao, do you all know how to use these cannons?"

Huang Chao hurriedly bowed and saluted:

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

"Okay, look at the formation of the rogue army, don't open fire yet, wait for about half of their men and horses to enter the effective firing range, and then shell me from the middle in turns, and cut them off at the waist."

"Obedience"

The 300 red-coated cannons shelled in turn, that is, 150 guns finished firing, and then another 150 guns continued to shell, so that there was time to reload the shells, and the shelling would not stop or stop.

The vanguard of the siege of Liukou was Tang Tong, a general of the Ming Dynasty, who originally came to King Qin, but he was the first to surrender to Li Zicheng, and now it has become the vanguard again.

Tang Tong knew that Li Zicheng was using them as cannon fodder, and he had no choice, so he didn't dare to say a word of disobedience, and led an army of 60,000 to kill Xiang Jingshi.

Behind the 60,000 Ming troops were the 200 Liukou Governors, and if anyone dared to retreat or disobey the command, they would be beheaded immediately.

Behind the surrendered troops, there were Liu Zhongmin's 100,000 rogue recruits (he was not the commander of the recruit battalion, he took the initiative to follow these cannon fodder in order to compete for the first success) and pulled dozens of red-coated cannons.
