Chapter 1163: Fighting in the Imperial Palace
After all, Zhu Ye was a veteran who had experienced many battles. He roughly determined the direction from which the imperial guards came just by the sound. He immediately led everyone from another direction, bypassed the hall in front, and ran towards the small door they came from before.

Soon, the group saw the small door not far ahead.

In the surrounding palaces, there were constant shouting and flickering flames, making it very noisy.

"General Zhu is indeed amazing. He managed to evade these imperial guards so easily."

Liu Xie seemed very excited.

Having been held hostage by Cao Cao and Sun Ce for more than ten years respectively, freedom was now within his reach, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Haha, who dares to hold the emperor hostage? Ding Feng has been waiting here for a long time, why don't you tell me your name, little thief?"

Zhu Ye was startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see people coming out of a palace about a hundred steps behind him. The person leading them was tall, fully armored, holding a spear, and looking at him with a smug look on his face.

"Ding Feng? The Ding Feng from the Ding family in Anfeng, Lujiang, Ding Chengyuan?"

Ding Feng was very surprised when he heard this.

"You actually know Ding?"

Zhu Ye sneered, "Humph, your Ding family in Lujiang is also a powerful local tyrant. You have always been willful and reckless, bullying the weak. You even gathered many families to jointly resist the court's equal distribution of land. Not long ago, Man Boning found out that you had committed seven major crimes. More than ten days ago, your family was confiscated, and the person in charge was beheaded in public. The rest of you were exiled to Heishui County in Liaodong to build a city. I didn't expect that you would be left behind in Jiangdong."

"what?"

Ding Feng was shocked and angry. He had moved to Jiangdong with his father in his early years. One reason was to avoid the war in the Central Plains at that time, and the other was the disputes between the main branches and branches within the clan. He and his father did not want to get involved, so he came to Jiangdong to seek another way out.

Later, the situation changed. The heroic ruler Liu He emerged and unified the north. Several counties in the north of Lujiang County were also occupied by the northern army. Anfeng County where his Ding family was located was one of them.

When he thought about how he and his family parted ways forever several years ago, even though he had many complaints about his family, it was after all the ancestral home and ancestral hall. Now it was reduced to ashes, how could he not be angry?
"You bastard, today I will take your head and bury it with my Ding family!"

After saying that, he waved his spear and personally led about two hundred guards behind him to surround them.

"Wait a minute, General." Lu Xun stopped the angry Ding Feng. "The enemy is well prepared. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, we should first send someone to inform Commander Sun and ask him to bring his men here quickly to prevent the enemy from escaping."

Ding Feng was so angry at the moment, how could he listen?

"Nonsense, I am a veteran of the battlefield, and now we have many times more people than the enemy. Could it be that Lu Xun can't bear to see me take all the credit?"

After saying this, he ignored Lu Xun and led his soldiers to charge forward.

Zhu Ye looked at him with disdain, then turned to Qin Lie and Tang Hai and said, "You two protect Marquis Qiang Yin and wait for me at the corner between the palace wall and the palace. I will kill the general first."

He flipped the double hammers in his hands, and led the other two Thundergod Knights to form a V-shape and headed straight towards the enemy.

"Come and die!"

Ding Feng was furious and thrust out his spear with almost all his strength, and it collided with one of Zhu Ye's hammers.

"Ding!"

With a sound of metallic collision, the tip of the spear in Ding Feng's hand immediately twisted, and the base of his hands also felt severe pain.

"You...you are Zhu Ye?"

Ding Fengcong's enormous strength and the unique pair of hammers quickly recognized the other party's identity and calmed down. Zhu Ye sneered, "Hehe, you don't seem to have fought with me before, but you can recognize me. Yes, I am Zhu Ye. Killing you is not unfair to you, right?"

As he spoke, his other sledgehammer had already arrived in front of Ding Feng.

Ding Feng hurriedly raised his gun to block, but how could he stop the sledgehammer that came with a force of a thousand pounds?
"Bang... click..."

After a crisp sound, the top-grade wax wood gun barrel broke into two pieces. Zhu Ye turned around and kicked Ding Feng out with a spinning kick.

At the same time, the other two Thundergod Knights had also beaten down the enemy.

Each of the Thundergod Knights is an elite among the elite, especially the few brought this time, who are all generals in the army. Their basic martial arts strength is above 85, plus the bonus of armor on their bodies and weapons in their hands, they are more than enough to deal with some third-rate generals, not to mention these most ordinary soldiers in the Jiangdong Army.

The three of them advanced in formation layer by layer, and taking advantage of the surrounding trees, palaces, rockery and other terrain, they killed more than 200 soldiers and forced them to retreat in a short period of time.

Ding Feng had several ribs broken by Zhu Ye's kick and fell dizzy. Even though he stood up again with the help of Lu Xun, he had lost the strength to fight again.

“Ahem… Great Zhu Ye, with a great reputation… there is no false… ahem… no false person. I never thought that I, Ding Feng, could not even survive a single move from him… ahem…”

Lu Xun supported him and said, "General, the enemy is much more powerful than ours, and they have Zhu Ye, the world's most powerful general. The elite imperial guards in the palace have been transferred by the general to attack Hanzhong. Although these imperial guards are not old and weak, it is impossible to stop the enemy with only more than 200 people. We must report to Commander Sun immediately and ask him to bring a large group of imperial guards to block them. As long as we can stop the enemy, or even capture Zhu Ye alive, the merit will be no less than that of attacking a city and capturing a stronghold."

When Ding Feng was reminded by him, he reacted immediately and called for the messenger.

"Quickly report the situation here... to Commander Sun. Be sure to emphasize that it is Zhu Ye himself who is here. We must send a large number of troops to capture him!"

After receiving the order, the messenger quickly ran in one direction.

In just a short while, the battle situation in the front was still one-sided.

These imperial guards seem to be numerous and powerful, but most of them are new recruits who have just been conscripted for a few months. No matter their physical fitness or martial arts, they are not much stronger than ordinary people. They also lack coordination in battle. In addition, Ding Feng was injured and there was no command or dispatch for the time being. After facing the devil-like charge and killing of Zhu Ye and the other three, the fighting spirit of these soldiers, which was already low, instantly dropped to the freezing point.

After leaving behind more than twenty corpses that were smashed beyond recognition, the rest of the imperial guards retreated in different directions with fear on their faces. Many of them even dropped their weapons. They all looked as if they had seen something horrible and were afraid of being caught up by Zhu Ye and the others.

Ding Feng felt both angry and amused.

"More than 200 imperial guards were chased and beaten by just three people. If this gets out, it will ruin my family's reputation... cough cough cough..."

He was so angry that his emotions fluctuated violently and he couldn't help coughing loudly. This coughing affected his broken ribs and made him grimace in pain.

He gritted his teeth and ordered Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, you must gather these useless guys for me. At least you must hold them back first. Otherwise, if they really escape from our hands of more than 200 people so easily, I will have to commit suicide in front of the palace gate tonight without waiting for the lord to come back and deal with them."

Lu Xun also understood the current situation and did not shirk responsibility. He immediately released Ding Feng and took command of the already terrified imperial guards.

Zhu Ye and others were very pleased to see that the other side was so incompetent. They chased them and killed them for a while, then ordered a retreat.

"Haha, you bunch of losers dare to ambush me. Brothers, we've killed enough, let's retreat."

The Thunder God Riders were always known for their swift actions and fierce aggression. As soon as he gave the order, the other two quickly reincarnated almost at the same time and ran towards Qin Lie and the others without hesitation. Even their running pace and speed were almost the same. Before the imperial guards could react, the three of them had already rushed out more than ten steps.

Ding Feng, who was resting nearby, saw this and felt deeply moved.

"From a small glimpse of the leopard, we can see that Zhu Ye's ability to lead the army is so terrifying. Even the famous generals in ancient times were no better than him. This shows how strict the armies led by Gao Shun and Zhang Yong are. No wonder the lord and General Gongjin have been defeated in every battle. Alas, I don't know where the future of Jiangdong lies..."
