Chapter 231: Bloody Battle on Chessboard Street

The flames swept and became bigger and bigger, looking at the old figure in the flames, the muscles on Chongzhen's face twitched, and he changed into the clothes that Li Banghua took off without saying a word. The red second-grade official uniform is dazzling, but it is much better than the dragon robe, where can I find ordinary clothes in a hurry?

Princess Kunxing sobbed, firstly thanking Li Banghua and Wang Chengen for their sacrifices, and then thinking of the deceased queen mother, bean-sized tears rolled out and flowed on her snow-white face.

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Listening to the shouting and killing sound coming from outside the palace, Chen Yue anxiously urged, his subordinates don't know what the situation is now, why the Zhengyang Gate is broken so easily, there are more than 1,000 soldiers from his right battalion to assist in the defense!

Now Chen Yue is anxious, Zhengyangmen has fallen, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it is the guard battalion he left on Qipan Street outside Daming Gate, can they block the attack of the intruding army?

Listening to Chen Yue's urging, Chongzhen got up and left without saying a word.

"Princess, let me carry you." Chen Yue said to Kun Xing, Kun Xing was wearing a skirt, his physique was weak, and he was tired and out of breath from the distance from Shouning Palace to Qianqing Palace just now.

"I, I can walk on my own!" Princess Kunxing peeked at her father Chongzhen, and her face was a little feverish. Although she likes Chen Yue, she is a princess who has not left the cabinet, how can she let Chen Yue carry it, let alone in front of her father.

"Alas, when is the time, don't stick to these customs."

Chen Yue sighed and squatted in front of Kun Xing. Kun Xing glanced up at his father, and saw Chongzhen walking without twisting his head, so he was embarrassed to lie on Chen Yue's back, and his little face was red as if he was about to bleed.

Princess Kunxing's body was very light, and Chen Yue stood up without feeling much weight at all. He took a big step and walked quickly towards the Daming Gate.

"Chen Yue, how do you know that I am in Shouning Palace?" The moment Chen Yue caught up, Chongzhen suddenly asked.

Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I caught a little palace maid and asked." Chongzhen nodded and said no more.

The news of the fall of Zhengyangmen has already spread throughout the palace, and along the way, I met many palace guards who fled in embarrassment, and when they met, they only raised their eyes and glanced at Chen Yue, who was carrying Kunxing, and had no interest in seeing who Chen Yue was backing, as for Chongzhen, who changed his clothes and walked with his head bowed behind Chen Yue, no one was interested in taking a look.

Beijing has a total of four city walls, the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, the palace city, each city wall has a complete defense, the noon gate is the gate of the palace city, the Chengtian gate is the gate of the imperial city, but now there are two city gates, each city gate is wide open, the guards who originally arranged to guard the gate have fled. The outer city and the inner city have fallen, how can they hold the imperial city and the palace city, the guards who were originally in charge were all some noble sons and daughters, and they were originally some scumbags with combat effectiveness, but at this time, they only cared about their own lives.

Looking at the empty city gate, Chen Yue suddenly thought of his father Chen Jianghe, he is now a fellow acquaintance of Jinyiwei, where will he be at this time? Will the people he sent find him? With his father's temperament, Chen Yue didn't believe that he would stay at home honestly, what if he couldn't find his father? At this moment, Chen Yue's heart was in turmoil!

As soon as he came out of Chengtianmen, several soldiers ran over, Chen Yue was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and raised his crossbow.

"Lord Zhongcheng!" I heard a familiar shout from a distance, but it was the personal guard Ma Chuang who came up with a few people.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the iron lion is reversed, it may not be that Zhang Jinyan opened the Zhengyang Gate, the thieves came in, and the brothers are resisting on the chessboard street. Yu Feng asked me to come and answer you. Ma Chuang panted.

The Iron Lion is reversed! Chen Yue's head buzzed, and suddenly the world turned a little spinning, he took a fancy to his strength and ability to lead troops, treated him as a brother, and handed over the entire right battalion to him, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would stab himself in the back!

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" When Ma Chuang wanted to help, Chen Yue waved his hand and tried to stand up straight.

"How many more brethren are there? Are there many casualties? Chen Yue hissed and asked.

"There were more than 2,000 people, and the Iron Lion rebelled, and many of the brothers in the right camp did not want to follow him, and fled back to Qipan Street. Now the brethren are waiting for your return, my lord. "Iron Lion Road.

"Good, good!" Chen Yue felt a little relieved at this time, most of the troops he had worked so hard to pull out were the former family members and the township soldiers of Xishan Town, and the Liangtie Lion could not be pulled all of them.

"You go get two clothes for them to change into, don't ask anything!" Seeing Ma Chuang's eyes looking at Kun Xing and Chongzhen on his back, Chen Yue glared at him and ordered.

"Yes, sir!" Ma Chuang waved his hand, and rushed into a yamen connected to the thousand-step corridor with two of his men, and after a burst of chickens and dogs jumping accompanied by screams, he chased after him with two sets of clothes.

Kun Xing and Chongzhen each changed into the clothes of the officials who came from Ma Chuang, which was not so conspicuous.

On Qipan Street, more than 20 carts were placed horizontally, blocking the Qipan Street Avenue tightly, and hundreds of infantry of the Xishan Army were hiding behind the chariots, fighting with the attacking intruding army.

Leaning on the cover of the chariot, the musketeers and crossbow archers of the Xishan Army took turns firing, and the avenue facing Zhengyangmen on Qipan Street was already full of corpses.

Hundreds of invading troops were holding huge shields, braving the rain of arrows slowly approaching, and the archers of the invading army in the distance were throwing, and the arrows rained down on the positions of the Xishan army, and there were casualties every moment.

"Bang bang bang" With the firing of the firecracker, from time to time the attacking intruder fell to the ground, and the firing of the firearm at close range was enough to shoot through the shield and into the body of the intruder behind.

However, the morale of the invading army was extremely high, and they completely ignored the sacrifice, although the comrades around them kept falling, the others still kept walking, and marched towards the chariot formation with difficulty.

Although the firecrackers were powerful, the reloading speed was too slow, because the width of the streets was limited, and there were only more than 300 people guarding the chariots, of which there were only more than 100 firearms. Seeing that the invading army was approaching the chariot, the pikemen on the chariot stood up and stabbed their spears fiercely from top to bottom, while the invading soldiers raised their shields to meet them and swung their swords in counterattack. Nearly 1,000 people fought together in the streets.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing that Chen Yue had finally returned, Yu Feng and the others, who were arrayed in the square outside the Daming Gate with the cavalry, shouted in surprise.

"Is my dad coming?" Chen Yue shouted at the welcoming crowd.

"Master, he took people to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and only brought back Miss Wu and them." A personal guard replied, "But Commander Chen Yan has already gone to Xuanwumen to pick up the master in person!" ”

Hearing that he didn't receive his father, Chen Yue's heart suddenly sank.
