In the courtyard of a private house outside Nanjing, there were dozens of young people with grim faces standing neatly.

They were sixteen or seventeen years old, all dressed in strong suits, with their blades behind them, invisibly exuding a murderous aura, obviously people who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

At the head was a dark-faced middle-aged man, pacing slowly in front of the team, he glanced at the group of dead soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "According to reliable information, the Dog Emperor is going to Shenlie Mountain to worship his ancestors today, this is our last chance!" ”

The middle-aged man slowly drew out his saber and said, "King Chuang rescued you from the famine and raised you, this is a good time for you to avenge King Chuang, I hope you work hard to move forward, and you must not be afraid of death and retreat!" ”

"Swear to avenge King Chuang!"

The young men whispered in unison, and there was coldness in everyone's eyes.

They are the child soldiers raised by Li Zicheng, the cavalry in the army, who have been bullied by the government and the gentry since childhood, and have the strongest resistance and are a force that cannot be ignored in the peasant army.

At that time, Li Zicheng attached great importance to the training and education of these child soldiers, and adopted the system of raising children with elite soldiers, allowing elite soldiers with combat experience to adopt child soldiers as adopted sons, teaching them by word and deed, learning combat skills, and studying and training hard, and many of them became witty and brave young soldiers who conquered cities and conquered cities.

When these child soldiers attacked the city of Beijing, they climbed to the top of the city, killed the outer city guard, Xinjian Bowang Xiantong, and cut off his head from the blood sacrifice flag. (There are records in history of child soldiers, all of whom were outlaws.) ）

After Li Zicheng's death, the Shun army was leaderless, and these murderous child soldiers finally disappeared from the battlefield.

The middle-aged man was very satisfied, ordered someone to take a basket of grenades, and said: "One for each person, kill into the dog emperor's luan, and detonate the dead dog emperor!" ”

The battle-hardened child soldiers knew how powerful this thing was, and many of their companions died under the earth-shattering thunder.

Although I don't know where the leader got these earth-shattering thunders, everyone's confidence has increased.

According to the information provided by the partner, the middle-aged man made a careful plan and sent all the child soldiers out to the necessary path to Shenlie Mountain to ambush Emperor Tianwu.

......

According to the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, every year before the Chinese New Year, the emperor held a ceremony to worship the ancestors, even if the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, the emperors of the past dynasties did not dare to forget to worship the filial piety of the ancestors in Nanjing, and sent special people such as horses to worship.

Worship the ancestral mausoleum must not be careless, and must be very pious, because in the religion, this is a plan involving the blessing of the gods, and it is related to the national body.

On this day, the mighty emperor's guard of honor passed through Hongwu Street and left Nanjing.

Zhu Cihong, who was driving in Luan, always felt that his left eyelid was always jumping and holding his forehead with his hand.

Wu Zhong, the chief administrator of the Great House, sensed Zhu Cihong's strangeness and asked, "Emperor, what's wrong with you today?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”

Zhu Cihong said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that the left eyelid always jumps, maybe I didn't sleep last night!" ”

Luan drove just out of Nanjing City, galloping in the distance and relying on two fast horses, carrying the token into the side of the dragon chariot, Wu Zhong looked at it, but it was a stall in the East Factory.

Wu Zhong listened carefully to the secret words of this stall leader, and his face immediately changed greatly.

He returned to Long Yuan and said a little nervously: "Emperor, the Dongchang secret agents discovered that a group of suspicious people have infiltrated Yingtianfu today, and they should be trying to treat you unfavorably. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Are there still few people who want to assassinate me over the years, just kill as many as you want!" ”

Zhu Cihong also wanted to know who would jump out this time.

Wu Zhong nodded slightly, wanting to assassinate the Son of Heaven under the protection of the Imperial Forest Army was tantamount to ascending to the sky.

However, Zhu Cihong was not at ease with the pregnant queen, worried that she would be frightened, so he said: "Let Xu Sheng transfer half of the Royal Forest Army to escort the Queen Mother and the Queen back to the palace!" ”

Luan drove on, and when he was about to reach Shenlie Mountain, suddenly there was a shout from the Imperial Forest Army in front: "Escort!" ”

Before the words fell, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the wind whistled, and several of the surrounding Imperial Forest Army were shot over.

A cold light was inserted more than ten meters away from the dragon chariot, and there was a blue light on the arrow cluster, which was coated with poison at a glance.

The sudden mutation occurred, and the Royal Forest Army reacted extremely quickly, and hundreds of sergeants took out their handcuffs and fired in the direction of the crossbow arrows.

On a high slope around, the child soldiers who were lying under the grass immediately rushed out and killed Luan, throwing grenades from afar with strong arms.

A violent explosion sounded, and suddenly the mournful shouts continued.

There was chaos around Luan Jia, Wu Zhong's face changed greatly, and the other party actually had a grenade!

Taking advantage of the chaos of the explosion, more and more child soldiers jumped down the hill, they moved very quickly, immediately pulled out the weapons behind their backs, and slashed at Luanjia, one by one ruthlessly, fighting for their lives, trying to get close to Luanjia to blast.

The guards of the Imperial Guards kept shooting at the outlaws, but the children were so desperate that they didn't care about themselves, rolling around and dodging, with flashing grenades in their hands.

When they got close to Luan's range, the child soldiers struggled to throw the murderous aura in their hands towards Long Yuan.

The adaptability of the Royal Forest Army is very strong, and layers of iron shields have already been arranged around the dragon chariot, which makes the dragon chariot impermeable.

In a few explosions, several Royal Guards with iron shields were blown over, and more iron shields were immediately erected.

Listening to the familiar sound of the explosion, Zhu Cihong's face in the dragon chariot was gloomy, in the past, the earth-shattering thunder of the Ming army could carry a small amount of medicine, and it did not have such power.

Listening to this sound and power, it is obviously a grenade used by the Tianwu Army, where did these assassins do it?

Seeing that these murderous qi could not explode the layers of iron shield arrays of the Royal Forest Army, the child soldiers had to grit their teeth and continue to rush.

Most of the knives they use are light and agile knives, waist knives, and their armor-piercing ability is not strong, and they are obviously very difficult to slash on the excellent armor of the Royal Forest Army, and they can't penetrate directly into the body under a single stab.

But these child soldiers were very determined to fight, trembling and biting desperately, their faces were distorted, their expressions were extremely hideous, their bodies were stained with blood, and many of them were still dripping with blood from knives in their hands.

It seems that they will also break through to the iron shield and kill the Tianwu Emperor, such an outlaw is really terrifying.

Xu Sheng, who had a cold face, carried the silver hammer and shouted angrily: "Kill all these traitors!" ”

In the midst of the shouting, he swung it, and the silver hammer slammed into the brain of a child soldier, and suddenly it was like a broken melon, and the red and white brain and blood fell to the ground.

A Royal Guards soldier raised his arm to block the short knife slashed by one of the child soldiers, and a long spark pulled up from the fine armor leaf.

This armor soldier directly lifted the hideous child soldier in front of him and slammed it to the ground, nailing him to the ground with a sword.

In the face of the battle-hardened Imperial Forest Army, although these child soldiers are good at fighting, they are like grasshoppers shaking trees after all.

After some fighting, the few remaining child soldiers rushed in with red eyes and roaring, trying to make a final kill.

Xu Sheng carried the silver hammer to meet him, swept it away, and with each swing, he heard the sound of bones shattering.

One of the hammers directly sent a child soldier flying out of the blood, killing him instantly.

Then one of these child soldiers ignited a grenade in his hand, and threw it into the dragon chariot behind the iron shield with the act of an ape flying into the sky.

Seeing the killer flying into the shield, the child soldier who was killed in the air smiled with relief, and was finally able to kill the Dog Emperor to avenge King Chuang!

The consciousness had not yet dissipated, but the ending made him desperate again, and the earth-shattering thunder miraculously flew back and exploded in the air!

But it was Wu Zhong who was like a ghost, and he flew up and kicked it back!

Wu Zhong cushioned his sore right foot, bared his teeth and grinned: "Is it really our family's sunflower treasure book for nothing?" ”

"Wu Zhong, go check the source of these grenades!"

Zhu Cihong slowly walked out of the dragon chariot and said with a cold face: "I want to know the result before dawn tomorrow!" ”
