Shaharu was furious at the retreat of his men, snatched the knife from the law enforcement team, and frantically slashed at the retreating soldiers.

However, in the face of unknown weapons, even if Shaharu was so ruthless, the soldiers who still couldn't stop flinching, could only watch the legendary man flee surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Although Shaharu could not stop the retreat of the Ming army, he naturally took over the city of Samarkand, and sent 50,000 people to attack the Ming Palace, which was many times smaller.

Zhu Yunxi entered the palace, still thinking about the people of Kangdu City. When he saw Shaharu killing people and setting fire to the city of Kangdu, he shed tears of sadness.

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi hurriedly cried as well.

"Your Majesty, you are so worried about the people of Kangdu City, and the people in the city will be grateful when they learn about it, woo woo woo woo ......"

Lan Yu rolled her eyes angrily when she heard this, what did a group of alien people have to cry about?

What's more, it was their former prince who killed them.

Even if the people of the city hated it, they should hate Timur's fourth son.

Seeing Yang Shiqi say this, Qi Tai also followed up and patted Zhu Yunxi on the back to save some of his face for loving the people like a son.

"Your Majesty's concern for the people is really a blessing for the people of Kangdu City......"

The two of them praised it so shamelessly, and they completely forgot who had just ordered to abandon Kangdu City and flee to the palace instead.

However, Zhu Yunxi was forced to give up Kangdu, Shaharu was able to enter Samarkand through the tunnels, even if they beat these people out, the devil knows how many tunnels Timur still left in Samarkand.

Therefore, staying in a capital city that seems to be high and deep, but full of countless hidden dangers, it is better to retreat to the newly built palace.

At the very least, there are no tunnels prepared by the enemy in the palace.

Zhu Yunxi was so embarrassed by the two of them that he could only wipe away his tears and change the topic.

"Quickly notify the officials in the city by urgent telegram and ask them to find a place to hide. As long as I dodge these two days, I can take Kangdu back! ”

"No!"

When Kong Yanjin hurriedly went to the telecommunications office of the palace to send an urgent telegram, Zhu Yunxi looked at the burning Kangdu City and prayed silently in his heart.

"Grandpa Huang, now my grandson admires your old foresight a little. If you hadn't sent over 200,000 troops despite opposition, your grandson would have really broken this time! ”

The reason why Zhu Yunxi dared to play the empty city plan was that his biggest confidence was the 200,000 guards sent to him by Lao Zhu.

In the past few years, the combat effectiveness of the guards has soared under his rule, and they have almost left production, learning the use of new weapons in the guards around the clock.

Although the most advanced ones are not fully equipped, some outdated firearms and artillery have long been sent to the ordinary guards of the Ming Dynasty and have become their usual training equipment.

"Ying Guogong, you and Liang Guogong take inventory of the arsenal of the Descending Palace and see how many weapons there are."

Hearing this, the two hurriedly agreed, and then ran to the palace arsenal together.

After the two of them left, Qi Tai looked at Zhu Yunxi worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has occupied Kangdu, if the artillery on the Kangdu city wall is removed and attacked the palace, we will ......"

Zhu Yunxi had thought of this question a long time ago, and this was what he was crying just now.

"I just hope they can move slowly, and the emperor's reinforcements can be faster......"

"His Majesty's reinforcements?"

"When Grandpa Huang heard that I was assassinated and wounded, he specially selected 200,000 guards from China to send them to avenge me......"

When Qi Tai heard this, his face immediately showed surprise.

"His Majesty the Emperor Shengming!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, how far are the reinforcements sent by His Majesty the Emperor from us?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.

"I don't know, they report every three days. The last time we reported, we were still two hundred miles away, but this afternoon, I sent an urgent telegram to them, telling them to speed up their march and make sure to reach Kangdu City before dark. ”

Hearing this, Qi Tai silently pinched his fingers and calculated, a normal march can walk fifty miles a day, and two hundred miles can be reached in four days at the earliest.

"So the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow before sunset?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"Almost, but how do you get through this night?"

After Shaharu occupied Khamdu, he immediately sent people to dismantle the cannons on the city wall.

Although he hadn't used this thing much, he still knew the power of this thing very well, and it was an artifact for siege.

"Be careful, if you break the cannon, I'll cut your neck!"

A group of Khorasan soldiers carried their cannons and moved step by step towards the bottom of the city wall.

It took an hour to successfully transport a cannon to the square in front of the palace.

With the help of cannons, Shaharu was more confident in capturing Zhu Yunxi alive, and immediately ordered someone to light the cannon fuse and fired a shot towards the gate of the palace.

After the first shot, there was almost no other damage to the gate of the palace, except for an extra layer of iron sand and shards.

This made Shaharu very angry and ordered the soldiers to reload their shells and continue fighting.

During the siege of Shahru, the soldiers on the city walls went from horror to surprise.

"Hahaha, this idiot brought the flowering bomb used to defend the city, this thing is just a big explosion, and the power is not very good......"

Zhu Yunxi also saw that the cannonballs on the other side were not picked up, and what he brought was a flowering shell that relied on iron sand and fragments to hurt people.

"Looks like Prince Shaharu doesn't know how to use firearms?"

When the officials on the city wall saw His Majesty joking, they all laughed in cooperation.

Misaran laughed along with the crowd, but his smile was visibly forced.

At this time, Misaran also complained a little about Shaharu, if you learn more and watch more, you won't make such a serious mistake!

What a good opportunity to capture Zhu Yunxi alive, he missed it in vain.

If you miss this one, you may never get a chance again......

Shaharu saw that three cannons were fired in succession, and the thin gates of the palace were safe and sound, and he immediately lost his temper.

"Come on, bring down one more from the city wall, I don't believe that I can't open this broken city gate!"

Shaharu ordered someone to carry a bigger cannon this time, although he didn't know how to use firearms, but at least he knew how to shoot a big cannon.

When Shaharu lifted the cannon out, the crowd on the walls fell silent.

Zhu Yunxi was also silent, because there was only one cannon in the entire Kangdu City, and it was an ultra-long-distance cannon specially used to snipe the enemy's battalion.

The attack surface of this cannon is not large, but the range is very long and very powerful.

If Shaharu had used this siege, he would have been able to smash the gates of the palace to pieces without two shots.

After a rumbling sound, the earth shaking that Zhu Yunxi expected did not happen, but just like the previous few times, he still only felt that the ground shook, and then there was no more.

The officers and soldiers on the city wall tried their best to open their eyes after the smoke cleared, and saw that the city gate was densely covered with iron sand and shrapnel, but the gate as a whole was still strong and stood there proudly.

"They didn't just change the cannon and not the shells, right?"

As soon as this thought came out, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city didn't know whether to laugh or rejoice that they had survived.

Shaharu doesn't need so many good shells in Kangdu City, why is he staring at this useless flowering shell?

Zhu Yunxi was also secretly relieved to see that he had escaped again.

"It's too dangerous!"

"But we still can't get anything to chance, and quickly order people to lay bricks and pile up soil behind the city gate."

Qi Tai hurriedly replied when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Ying Guogong has already ordered someone to prepare."

Shaharu replaced two more cannons, but still couldn't knock down the palace, and realized that the problem might be with the shells.

But there are too many cannonballs on the city wall of the Ming Dynasty, and many of them look very similar, and he doesn't know which one is the most powerful, so he can only order someone to transport all the cannonballs over and try them one by one under the gate of the palace.

When he tried to reach the tenth, the Ming soldiers who were watching the excitement at the head of the city finally changed their serious expressions.

In the morning light, Shaharu's soldiers carried an oval cannonball in the shape of a loofah, stuffed it into the barrel with difficulty, and then held the torch behind the cannon's butt......

"Hey, where's the lead?"

The soldier in charge of the ignition looked at the bare cannon butt and the whole person was blinded.

"Who lost the lead?"

"Leads?"

Hearing this, Shaharu hurriedly came up and looked at the cannon and was furious.

"Hurry up and push the shell out for me, replace the lead and put it back in......"

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers hurriedly pushed out the shell, looking for a lead and trying to add it, but found that the shell was extremely smooth as a whole, and there was no place to insert the lead at all.

"Your Highness, this cannonball has no place to install a lead, it may be a ...... that doesn't need a lead"

"Don't need a lead?"

"And how does it get out?"

Shaharu's words stumped his artillerymen, who had never been in contact with artillery a few times, and they were all very old, so they didn't know how to use it.

After a group of artillerymen studied the shells for almost an hour, a big clever man finally slapped his head.

"Your Highness, I have come up with a solution!"

"We can put shells into cannons and then set up a fire behind them."

"We don't know where to put the cannonball fuse, but as long as it's a cannonball, there must be gunpowder in it. If we burn the fire through the iron sheet of the cannonball, we can also ignite the gunpowder inside......"

Shaharu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"That's right!"

"This is a good idea!"

"Someone, hurry up and bring me ten torches to burn!"

"If you succeed this time, I will reward you with a hundred cows!"

Shaharu boasted proudly about Haikou, and hid in the distance to closely monitor the progress of the firing artillery.

After ten torches continued to burn for half an hour, the cannon suddenly made a muffled "bang", and the city gate that was blocked in front of everyone suddenly burst open.

Shaharu shouted excitedly when he saw this.

"It's a success!"

"We're finally blasting open the city gates, and when the smoke clears, everyone will rush ...... for me."

"Yes!"

Shaharu said to wait for the smoke, but how could his soldiers really wait, and before the smoke cleared, they rushed forward with their weapons held high.

However, they only rushed halfway and retreated.

First, the soldiers at the head of the city shot them with firearms, and the other was that when they walked in, they found that the inside of the city gate was already full of sand and gravel clods.

"Your Highness, the city gate has been blocked from the inside......"

"Huh?"

"Then keep banging me!"

With the first success, Shahru's artillery quickly reloaded the shells and continued to fire the cannons.

After the second cannon was fired, not to mention the masonry and earth blocks in the city gate, even the city gate tower was opened.

Shaharu looked at the empty gap and burst into a smug laugh.

"Hahaha, it's finally broken through the broken wall!"

"Everyone will rush me, capture the Ming Emperor alive and reward ten thousand households!"

Shaharu took the lead and charged with the other soldiers.

The defenders of the city shot wildly, but they were unable to stop the attack of Shahru's army.

Just as they were inextricably killed, and each other took out bayonets, broadswords, and other weapons to fight hand-to-hand, a loud trumpet sound was heard in the valley in the east.

"Woo~~~"

With a dull "woo~" sound, the city was fighting desperately, and the Ming soldiers who were guarding Zhu Yunxi were stunned for a moment.

"Reinforcements!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived!"

In the shout of support, everyone burst out with unimaginable courage and fearlessly slaughtered the enemy army.

Shaharu also heard the sound of the trumpet, and hurriedly looked back in horror, only to see the valley not far away was dusty, and birds and beasts fled frantically.

"Daming still has reinforcements?"

"Didn't my father say that Daming only had these troops, and they were all transferred away by him?"

Seeing this, Shaharu's generals hurriedly admonished.

"Your Highness, let's run quickly!"

"I don't know how many people are ambushed in the valley, it seems that there are 100,000 people......

"One hundred thousand?"

Shaharu also trembled when he heard this, they couldn't beat 10,000 Ming soldiers, plus 20,000 waste Kangdu soldiers, what would happen to another 100,000 Ming troops?

But Shaharu gave up the idea of running away after thinking about it, and instead looked at the Ming soldiers who were struggling desperately.

"Kill!"

"Only by capturing the Ming Emperor alive can we have a glimmer of life!"

When Shaharu had said this, he beat his horse and rushed forward, and the others, seeing that their own kings were so valiant, also charged with the blood.

Both sides knew that this was the most critical moment, and everyone burst out with endless fighting spirit.

There is only one result of such an amazing fighting spirit, and that is that hundreds or thousands of people fall every minute on the battlefield.

Soon, there were fewer and fewer people standing next to Zhu Yunxi.

In contrast, although many people died on Shaharu's side, after all, there were many people, and there were still tens of thousands of people left.

However, just as Shaharu was about to launch a final charge, he suddenly heard a roar, and then one after another shells exploded in his own cavalry phalanx.

Shaharu unwillingly glanced behind him, only to see that the mountain not far away was full of artillery fire, and he was fiercely attacking his side. At the same time, a cavalry was killed in the valley, and it was only a few dozen feet away from him.

"Your Highness, we're done, let's run......"

Seeing this, Shaharu knew that there was no point in fighting any longer, so he could only follow the advice of his subordinates and flee frantically with his cavalry.

The infantry brought by Shaharu saw his lord fleeing with his people, and his combat effectiveness was directly reduced to zero.

When they saw that there were enemies in front of and behind them, they were blindsided, and they did not know what to do.

I don't know who shouted "Put down your arms, surrender and don't kill", these people hurriedly threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

When the cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, they saw this strange scene and called it a hate, and they wanted to put their weapons back into their hands, and then hack a few to relieve their anger.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of killing prisoners, and after seeing them lay down their weapons and surrender on their knees, the cavalry who came non-stop did not embarrass them, but bypassed them and rushed straight to the city.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi also ordered someone to erect his Huangluo umbrella cover to show his own people where he was.

"Your Majesty, the last general Zhang Jiang is too late to save him, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"
