Guilin.

For two months in a row, the Western Army's attack on Guilin was loose and tight, and it never stopped, trying back and forth to find flaws in the city's defense, and the Longwu army and the people in the city were always in a highly tense situation, like a spring that had been tightened for a long time, gradually stiffening and losing its elasticity.

Seeing that there are more and more flaws in the Longwu army, and the western army is gradually increasing the intensity of its attack, although the earthen city outside the west city wall is still being built, Liu Wenxiu, as a general of a hundred battles, will not pin all his hopes of victory and defeat on a soil city, and found that the Longwu army is gradually exhausted, and his attack is more sharp and unrelenting.

The drums of war are like thunder, the sound of killing is in full swing, Liu Wenxiu personally commanded the siege, from the morning to the afternoon, seeing that the soldiers were tired and hungry, he ordered to collect the troops and return to the camp, and suddenly saw a series of fires in the city of Guilin, and the red flames rolled up with billowing black smoke, straight into the sky.

There is a change in the city!

Liu Wenxiu, who was very experienced, immediately ordered the troops to postpone their return to the camp and continue the siege......

In the city, the palace of Emperor Longwu.

Guilin exercises the function of the wartime capital, the palace of Emperor Longwu has been the heart of the Southern Ming Dynasty for the past two years, it has always been solemn and solemn, orderly, but at the moment it seems to be chaotic, countless people inside and outside the palace are running around like headless flies, the heavy gate is a solid line of defense, has been tightly closed, civil and military officials are entering and exiting from the side door, the expression on the face or indignant, or dazed, or meaningful.

A sudden change is a disaster for most people, but a rare opportunity for a few.

There were shouts of killing from several nearby streets, and countless chaotic soldiers suddenly appeared in the city, killing the palace from all directions. The Kingsguard was engaged in a fierce battle with them, but it was due to the suddenness of the incident. The Royal Forest Army, which responded in a hurry, was obviously at a disadvantage, and several battlefields were frequently in a hurry. The last few hundred defenders in the palace still had to protect Emperor Longwu, and they didn't dare to go out of the palace to support.

The rebels had already prepared, and they had the upper hand for a while, but there were many civil and military generals loyal to Emperor Longwu, and after the accident occurred in the city, they rushed to the palace with their own guards, and there were thousands of people, in fact, although there were some masters of martial arts. However, there was a lack of unified command, and they were scattered in a few streets outside the palace, and they were not in formation at first glance.

"This, this, this is all a rabble, I'm afraid it's useless!"

He Wuyu was really anxious, dragging a pair of stump legs and struggling to climb the watchtower, raising his eyes to look around, these escort "masters" or competitions. It's okay to fight, or assassinate or something, but you can't go into battle, and the chaotic soldiers are all coordinated regular troops. If they attack, these "masters" may not be able to stop them.

"Han Xin leads the troops, the more the merrier. But in the past thousand years, how many peerless countrymen like Han Xin have appeared? "Emperor Longwu is dressed in military uniform. Wearing light armor, he seems to be ready to fight in person. He didn't look flustered, beckoned a few generals, and ordered them to gather these volunteers escorted by King Qin and distribute reinforcements to each city gate.

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" He Wuyu hurriedly dissuaded: "These people are all strong dead soldiers sent by various prefectures, although they are not of great use, but they can also support for a while, if they are sent to the city gate, how can hundreds of imperial forest troops guard such a large palace?" ”

"The city gate is more important!" Emperor Longwu frowned, and stared into the distance with sharp eyes: "The four battalions of the Imperial Forest Army on the left and right have not participated in the rebellion, and the thieves are only a few, if there is no Western Army outside the city to respond, sooner or later they will be captured by me, I am afraid that they will repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and the attack on the palace is just a pretense, but secretly send another elite to capture a city gate, once the Western Army is released into the city, it will be a big deal......

In a hurry, busy with fire, several generals received the letter of Emperor Longwu, went out of the palace to gather everyone, and left with everyone.

"Alas, this matter is all to blame on the old minister's confusion, and it took a moment of luck to cause today's catastrophe!" He Wuwu was heartbroken, the rebels planned for a long time, and made such a big mess, it was impossible to have no clues in advance, and the Longwu court had already noticed it, but during these days, the western army was attacking the city, if extraordinary measures were taken against the military horses in the city, He Wusu and Emperor Longwu were worried about causing a mutiny, who knew what they were afraid of, and finally there was a mutiny, and Guilin was in danger for a while.

"I don't blame you, the solution is yours, in the end it was my idea, when I first cast the mouse taboo, I also expected today's change, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly......"

Emperor Longwu said this, there was a sudden uproar in the direction of Sidao Street in the west, two or three hundred royal forest soldiers lost their armor and fled to the palace, there were large groups of chaotic soldiers chasing after them, Sidao Street was facing the west wall of the palace, the west gate, relatively lowest, if the chaotic soldiers rushed into the palace, Emperor Longwu and a group of civil and military officials were in the urn to catch turtles.

"The thieves are powerful, please send some reinforcements to your majesty!" Seeing the large number of rebels, He Wuyu hurriedly reminded him.

"If you can't adjust, just rely on these 200 soldiers and horses to defend to the death, if the palace is broken by thieves, I can only fight to the death!" After several years of tempering, Emperor Longwu has been rough in the art of battle formation, there are only a few hundred defenders in the palace, and the defense in all directions must be taken into account, and the enemy will use the only back hand as soon as he rushes up, in case the soldiers from other directions are killed, how to deal with it?

"This, I'm afraid I can't hold it!" He Wuyu's fate is closely linked to Emperor Longwu, and when he saw that he was in danger, he was really anxious: "Please also ask Your Majesty to change your clothes and escape, there are still more than a dozen relatives around the old minister, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and they will be able to protect Your Majesty from danger!" ”

Follow the changes in Fujian back then, and let Emperor Longwu himself slip away.

The ministers on the left and right also persuaded one after another, and Emperor Longwu hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

Staying in the palace, the soldiers who are loyal to him can still insist on fighting, if they slip away first, the palace will inevitably be lost, all kinds of bottles and cans will be smashed to pieces, the casualties must be very heavy, and if it is not good, it will cause a chain reaction, resulting in the loss of Guilin City...... But then again, staying in the palace is a desperate gamble, and if you don't get caught by the rebels, the Longwu court will also die.

"Your Majesty is in danger of the world, please leave quickly!"

"Yes, please leave as much as possible, I am willing to stick to the palace."

"Wait a minute, then, whose soldiers and horses are that?"

In the urging of the ministers, Emperor Longwu finally made up his mind and turned around to go downstairs, but He Wuyu suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the street corner not far away and shouted loudly.

Not far away, on the street corner, hundreds of soldiers and horses with bright armor suddenly appeared, blocking the swarming soldiers.
