The Forbidden City is 320 zhang long from north to south and 251 zhang wide from east to west, with 9,999 large and small palace rooms, and tens of thousands of eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and royal family members.

So Liu Ziguang gave up the attempt to find Kangxi, he only had a thousand men and horses in his hands, and the defense of the palace was overstretched, how could he have the strength to search for Kangxi from palace to palace, anyway, he already had a trump card with Da Yuer in his hand.

The Qing army in Beijing City was disrupted by the sudden airborne, and was afraid that the Ming army would take the opportunity to attack the city, so the troops in the outer city and the inner city did not leave their posts without permission, only the mobile troops of the Admiral of Jiumen rounded up and arrested the Ming army everywhere, and the Ming army on the ground made a fuss for an hour before realizing that the Forbidden City was attacked by others, but at this time, the death camp had already gained a firm foothold in the palace and established a defensive line.

The city wall of the Forbidden City is 1,133 zhang long, the wall is four zhang high, there is a circle of 18 zhang wide tube river outside, in addition to the noon gate in front of it, there is a bridge outside the Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate, there is a bridge outside the Shenwu Gate in the north, there is a bridge in the four corners of the Forbidden City, there is a towering corner tower in each of the four corners of the Forbidden City, the firearms left in the Qing army, bows and arrows, not less than a thousand people and horses, as long as you let go of a few city gates and corner towers, you can sit back and relax.

As for the residents in the palace, Liu Ziguang handed it over to Nie Feng to deal with, and now the eunuchs from the Han people will no longer work hard for the Qing court, and the fox and the tiger will follow Nie Feng with knives and guns, and drive all the palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines to the square in front of the Taihe Palace.

The palace of the Great Qing Kingdom has never experienced such a catastrophe, the pampered concubines were dragged on the ground by the slaves who were low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes in the past, and the loyal palace maids came to protect them, but they were hacked to death by the red-haired and blue-eyed demon soldiers, blood was splashed, and the harem was filled with the smell of fear, because Nie Feng and others were more familiar with the harem, so the progress was quite fast, a large number of concubines, palace maids and eunuchs were concentrated in the Taihe Hall Square, most of the clothes were not neatly dressed, and there was a wail.

The red-shirted army set up a platoon of guns at the gate of the Taihe Palace, on the Taihe Gate, on the Hongyi Pavilion and the Tiren Pavilion, to monitor the people, and if they dared to make any changes, they would use firearms and grenades to greet the rest of the men and horses, all of whom were used to defend the city, and the counterattack of the Qing army was coming soon.

There were a total of 130,000 Qing soldiers in Beijing City, after the initial chaos, they gathered a large number of men and horses to attack the palace, the tube river was very wide, only from the noon gate and the east and west north gates, the Qing army swarmed on the bridge, with bows and arrows and fire guns to suppress the shooting on the city wall, the Ming army did not return fire, and so they gathered more and more water ghosts hiding under the bridge, the team members lit the explosives package, and then a fierce man dived into the water and disappeared, the explosives installed under the bridge blew a wide bridge into the sky, bricks, stones and corpses flew everywhere, the Qing army had to stop the attack, and put the troops on the wide noon gate。

The noon gate is a gate-shaped city tower, and the walls on both sides are like a large pincer, where the strongest firepower of the Red Shirts, artillery, bazookas, and platoons are all placed on it, and there is also a large row of human shields, all of which are titled concubines.

Most of these concubines are Shunzhi's concubines, and some are Huang Taiji's concubines, anyway, they are Kangxi's elders, they are noble royal family members, and they will never dare to release arrows indiscriminately in the Qing army.

After a night of fighting, the sky was already dawning, the corpses lying on the ground outside the noon gate, the city gate was covered with broken arrows and small pits made by bullets, the vermilion city wall was also blackened by the war, the Qing army paid the price of hundreds of casualties, and still did not get half a step close to the noon gate, the firepower here was too strong.

Walking over in the smoke of gunpowder, a man approached the noon gate with a white flag in his hand, waving the flag and shouting: "Don't release arrows, don't release arrows." ”

Liu Ziguang personally commanded the defense at the noon gate, he waved his hand to let everyone not move, let the man come closer to talk, the man was wearing a cool hat, wearing a blue satin official robe, embroidered with a peacock on his chest, a civilian dress, trembling, and walked to the open ground, actually dragging the words and shouting, the text crepe did not understand, to the effect that the two countries should not involve women, the Ming army did not do this very kindly, and suggested that the Ming army would release the concubines, and everyone would fight with a sword and a gun.

Liu Ziguang sneered, and finally put together the human flesh shield, you said to withdraw it, and raised his hand and hit the old master's feet with two guns, so frightened that he dropped the little white flag and hugged his head.

The command of the Qing army shot at the first line, because Duanmen was already under the threat of fire from the Ming army, so it had to be farther away, because the distance was too far, Liu Ziguang didn't know who was leading the other party, but seeing the staggered appearance of the Qing army, he should be a high-level person commanding on the opposite side.

After a while, the Qing army's re-attack began, with all the elite soldiers of the last three phases, the Jianrui battalion, the rattan soldiers in the front, the arquebus battalion in the back, the other armies armed with strong bows and crossbows, multi-way assault, and then behind the bronze general's cannon, murderous and advancing towards the noon gate.

Liu Ziguang was a little puzzled, did the Qing soldiers even care about the lives of these concubines? The twenty or so concubines were tied to the city, all with tears in their eyes, screaming in fright, but no one paid attention to them, the Qing army was silently approaching, the Ming army was quietly waiting for them to enter the effective range, and the atmosphere in front of the noon gate was tense and depressing.

As the Qing army entered the effective firing range, a burst of gunsmoke rose on the head of the city at noon, and a rain of bullets poured over the rattan cards of the Jianrui battalion were killed on the spot at all, but the Qing army still rushed forward bravely, while returning fire, bullets and bows and arrows fell on the city tower, and the brunt of those human shields were pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and the poor generation of imperial concubines finally ended up dying in the city.

Since the other party didn't care about the concubines of the emperor at all, it means that the commander must be a resolute, resolute and responsible character, thinking of this, Liu Ziguang couldn't help but be a little worried, if the 130,000 Qing troops in the capital used wheel tactics to attack this thousand people, no matter how powerful they were, they had to explain here, Li Yan, Li Yan, why haven't you arrived yet.

The weapons of the Qing army are a generation behind the Ming army, the firing range and power of the arquebus are comprehensively weaker than the Ming army's rear loading firing pins, the range of the cannon is also much closer, the general cannon just put the position of the cannon, before it has time to open the cannon, it was the Ming army's sharpshooter Zhao Zhangcheng to the end of a cannon, now this master is already a well-known thousand households level, also married a wife, gave birth to several children, originally did not want him to follow the airborne adventure, but people said that wealth and nobility are given by the marshal, this life will be returned to the marshal sooner or later, Liu Ziguang is reluctant, but he had to bring with him, whether it is a bazooka or an infantry gun, in his hands, it is like having eyes, pointing where to hit which bullet is not false, the Qing army is inexperienced, always thinking that direct shooting will not be thrown, so the cannon pushesVery close, three general cannons were knocked by Zhao Zhang.

This wave of offensive was contained again, and there was a gong sound in the direction of **, the Qing army dropped a place, and the corpse retreated like a tide, and after a while, it was pressed back again, Liu Ziguang was about to give the order to fire, and suddenly saw a woman in front of the battle, her hands were tied, her mouth was stuffed with a white cloth, and she was tied to a wooden pole, who was it, not Dai Wenpei!

Liu Ziguang hurriedly asked the brothers to pause and open fire, but the Qing army did not take advantage of the situation to attack, but just pushed Dai Wenpei to the front of the formation, and then lined up in a position to pose as if they wanted to talk.

A Qing army general walked out from behind Dai Wenpei, grabbed Dai Wenpei's head, dragged his lowered head violently, and a miserable white face was facing the Wumen Tower.

"See clearly! This is your handsome Liu Ziguang's fiancée, and now in our hands! Whoever dares to act rashly again, I will pick her up, let the brothers take turns, and let you see what a handsome woman looks like! ”

The Qing soldiers laughed lewdly, as if they had obtained some talisman, and when they saw that there was no reaction from the city tower, the general shouted arrogantly: "Fire, shoot me!" If you shoot me, who would dare? Who has the guts? As he spoke, he ripped off his armor to reveal a black coat of hair. The arrogance was so arrogant that the Qing soldiers were infected by his momentum, and they also screamed.

Seeing that the marshal did not give the order to fire, the Chinese army knew that what the Qing army said was true, his wife was captured by others, this is indeed a problem, a pair of inquiring eyes looked at Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang was also in a dilemma, his personal guard Dai Wenlong was even more tearful, the young man was fourteen years old this year, but he was already very sensible, seeing that the marshal couldn't bear to fire, he knelt down and said: "Dashuai fight, my sister must not want you to delay military affairs for her, if Dashuai still has affection for his sister, please send my sister on the road in person." ”

Liu Ziguang looked at Dai Wenlong, who was shining with tears, and then looked at Dai Wenpei, who was pale under the city, and a complicated mood came to his mind, he had very little communication with Dai Wenpei, but he knew the girl's mind, Dai Wenpei, in order to make himself have a place in the Hou Ye's Mansion in the future, and in order to contribute to Liu Ziguang's career, she has been crisscrossing the land of Yanzhao all these years, contacting folk righteous people, and Han officials from all over the country, she is Liu Ziguang's fiancée, and she is the senior leader of the Tiandihui, and has made a lot of achievements with these two identities。

The Qing army general was still laughing unscrupulously, a dirty hand was stretched out to Dai Wenpei's chin, kneaded, and smiled at the noon door: "Liu Dashuai is really good-eyed, the little daughter-in-law is tender and tender, no one is willing to kill such a little beauty, Dashuai has mercy on the jade, we admire it tightly." ”

While speaking, the Qing soldiers approached without a trace, and seeing that they had entered the effective range of the arquebus, Liu Ziguang finally made up his mind, snatched a long barrel of firecracker from the hands of the soldiers beside him, clicked, lifted the hammer, closed his left eye, opened his right eye, and aimed at Dai Wenpei's head.

"I'm sorry." Liu Ziguang silently read in his heart, the moment he pulled the trigger, Dai Wenpei, who had been lowering his gaze, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Ziguang, his eyes were full of determination and determination.
