Chapter 24: Shocking Changes (16)

"Your Highness, now that the young army is stationed twenty miles outside the city, it will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest, and the minister is one step ahead!" Zhou Budo said.

Hong Tiangui nodded and said, "Tomorrow at noon, this king will go with you to greet the young army!" ”

Zhou Budo is overjoyed, Hong Tiangui is undoubtedly showing his attention to the young army, and Zhou Budo, as Hong Tiangui's secretary general, can just take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to shine.

Just when Hong Tiangui was about to convene the Ministry of Rites to study how to receive the young army, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from outside the Heavenly King's Mansion.

Hong Tiangui's face changed greatly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Who shoots, ingots, ingots, see what's going on?" ”

Soon, Guo Yuanbao ran in with a slightly panicked expression.

"Your Highness, it's not good, Marquis Gu Wu Ruxiao has led people from the south gate into the Heavenly King's Mansion!"

"What? Where did Wu Ruxiao come from? Hong Tiangui was shocked and angry, you know, now Tianjing City is a soldier, and Hong Tiangui has long been aware of the tense situation in the Heavenly Kingdom, just in case, a new army was stationed in the Tianwang Mansion, and now it was only a few minutes from hearing the gunshots, Wu Ruxiao actually led people into the Tianwang Mansion, indicating that there were at least a few hundred people in his hands.

"Contact the New Brigade now! Let them copy Wu Ruxiao's back road! Zhou Budo, you should go out of the city immediately to the young army now, and order Li Rongfa to come to Tianjing City immediately to wait! Hong Tiangui said angrily.

Zhou Budo did not dare to delay, and immediately left from the north gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and at this time, the shouting and killing of the Heavenly King's Mansion also went from the south gate to the Heavenly King's bedroom.

Hong Tiangui's face changed, and he instantly understood the rebels' intentions.

"Where's the Heavenly Sword?" Hong Tiangui asked with an extremely ugly face.

"The captain went to the Heavenly King's dormitory when the shouts of killing sounded."

Hong Tiangui breathed a sigh of relief, there was still his Hong Tiangui's personal guard stationed in the Heavenly King's bedroom, and the new army stationed at the front door was different, stationed in front of the Heavenly King's Bedroom was Hong Tiangui's twenty-person personal guard expanded from the expansion, and the personnel were also carefully selected, and all firearms were distributed, as well as a full ten guns and five artillery.

"Let's go to the Heavenly King's Bedchamber!" Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness must not, please go to the new army from the north gate immediately, only when the new army is gathered, Your Highness will be completely safe!" Guo Yuanbao shouted loudly.

"No, Wu Ruxiao must want to kidnap the King of Heaven and blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and this king must not let them succeed at this time!" Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice. He is now 100% sure that the matter of his house arrest of Hong Xiuquan has been leaked, otherwise Wu Ruxiao, a front-line general who returned to Tianjing City to recuperate from his injuries, would not have led such a high-profile army to storm the Tianwang Mansion. And Hong Tiangui absolutely can't let Wu Ruxiao succeed, he doesn't want the situation he has managed so hard to ruin in a flash.

Guo Yuanbao gritted his teeth and followed behind Hong Tiangui.

"Kill! Save the Heavenly King, Qingjun Side! Wu Ruxiao was wearing armor and shouted loudly. Behind him, hundreds of family members roared in unison with bright swords, and the new army in the front yard had already been rushed by Wu Ruxiao's family army, and a third fell to the ground wailing.

Wu Ruxiao led people directly to the backyard of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and at that moment, there was a sudden roar in front of him.

Wu Ruxiao's face changed greatly, and the whole person lay down as if instinctively, and at the same time rolled to hide behind a mountain rock very quickly.

Many of the family members behind him also reacted quickly, showing the elite reflexes of the army. But more often than not, it's unknowable

Boom Boom!

The shells of the two guns turned into a meteor and fell into the ranks and exploded, and dozens of people were killed and injured by the fragments of the shells at once, and there was a wail.

"Put!" A loud shout came!

Intensive scrambling bombs hit Wu Ruxiao head-on.

"Damn, guns and artillery are deployed here!" Wu Ruxiao regretted a little, he despised the new army, the most important thing is that he didn't expect that there were such excellent gunners in the new army, just now the two guns accurately hit the middle of his team, at least more than 50 people were scrapped, and then the sudden outbreak of guns also caused at least 20 casualties.

After that, dozens of shotguns were fired one after another, completely suppressing the rebels who were preparing to show their heads.

You must know that when the Heavenly King's Mansion was just breached, the new army was only injured a few people, which also made the family led by Wu Ruxiao think that the new army's combat effectiveness was vulnerable, and the morale would become so high. But the lethality of five guns and ten guns was like a basin of cold water, completely demoralizing the team composed of family members. Some family members who had never been on the battlefield saw the severed limbs around them, and the whole person vomited instantly. Even those who survived the battlefield hid and died. The Taiping army won many battles and lost more battles, and the one who could survive on the battlefield was not a veteran soldier, and everything was based on his own life.

Hong Tiangui, who was in the personal guards, saw all this and stood up suddenly.

"Artillery, give this king a damn blow!" Hong Tiangui roared loudly!

With his shouting, the second round of shelling roared again. After lifting the gun and loading the bullets, he fired again at the moment when the shells stopped and Wu Ruxiao showed his head. It was a roll call for shotguns, which resulted in more than a dozen head-ons being killed by firearms.

"Damn, how could they have such sharp firearms!" Wu Ruxiao roared angrily. Although their men also had firearms, they were all the smallest caliber shotguns, and there were only about twenty of them. After all, this is Tianjing City, and the princely family dares to hoard too many firearms.

Hong Tiangui breathed a sigh of relief and finally suppressed the rebels. To tell the truth, he didn't expect that a single soldier of the new army would be so vulnerable, fortunately the personal guard was stationed here, otherwise the situation would really not be good.

Wu Ruxiao hid behind the rockery, his face was indescribably gloomy. Hong Tiangui's personal guards fought in an orderly manner, and suppressed him vigorously with sharp firearms.

"You guys give it to me!" Wu Ruxiao pointed to a few people behind him and said.

Several people were obviously very hesitant, the firepower of the personal guards was so fierce, in this Heavenly King's Mansion where the space was restricted, rushing up was not looking for death.

"Go quickly, or Benhou will kill you now!" Wu Ruxiao roared. After all, the family is a family member, they are not real soldiers, and they have lost the constraints of military regulations, and the combat effectiveness of these people is really up for debate. What's more, his time is precious, and he must rescue the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan before Hong Tiangui's new army comes to help.

These people were helpless, and rushed forward with the steel knife in their hands.

Bang Bang Bang!

After a few robberies, none of them rushed to the Heavenly King's bedroom.

Hong Tiangui looked at the performance of the pro-guards, and his face finally relaxed slightly.

Soon, more than a dozen people rushed out together.

"Put!" With a calm voice, thirty muskets were fired at the same time. At such a close distance, and restrained by the variable courtyard walls, thirty shots were enough to form a dense firepower.

There was a wail on the other side, and more than a dozen people followed in the footsteps of a thousand.

"Immediately reload the elixir, the second group is ready!" The young man who spoke before spoke in a deep voice.
