After threatening, Qi Tai did not forget to give a sweet date and said:

"Does Commander Zhao want to be the commander of the Imperial Guard for the rest of his life, helping the emperor guard the city gate?"

"When the great cause is completed, His Highness will definitely make you a great general and a Marquis!"

"You decide now!"

Commander Zhao heard what Qi Tai said.

He no longer hesitated.

As Qi Tai said, the Lu family is finished.

If he doesn't fight, as long as the Lu family confesses himself, it will be over.

Even if he wasn't the mastermind, he was the emperor's most important son!

Zhu Yuanzhang won't listen to his own explanation. What awaits him at that time must be his family's ruin!

then.

Commander Zhao gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said:

"Damn it, there is really no way out..."

"Then do it!"

"My men guard the three gates, a total of 360 people, all of them are here...Your Highness must follow suit!"

Chapter 224 For Your Majesty!stand still

Although Commander Zhao hesitated at first, once he made up his mind, he acted swiftly and resolutely.

According to Huang Zicheng's wishes, he quickly opened the gate of the palace, allowing a team of imperial guards who had already been hiding outside the palace to enter the palace.

There are at least 500 people in this group.

Commander Zhao also knew the commander who led this group of imperial guards. His surname was Xie. The two often ate, drank and had fun together when they were hosts in the Lu family.

This time when they opened the door and saw each other, they both looked at each other and smiled.

At the palace gate, Qi Tai felt relieved when he saw that so many imperial guards had already entered the palace.

He turned around and cupped his fists at Huang Zicheng, saying:

"Huang Taichang, I'm going to find the dead soldiers raised by the Lu family in the city. There are about a thousand people in total..."

"Although they are not as good at fighting as the imperial guards, they have been training day and night before, which can be regarded as a help."

Huang Zicheng also nodded and said:

"Okay, let's split up."

"Now there are nearly 900 Imperial Guards in the palace belonging to us. Even if it is a strong attack, the palace gates in the south cannot be defended at all."

"Come back with thousands of dead soldiers, change the clothes and equipment of the imperial army, and use the slogan of King Qin to rescue you... At that time, don't come to the north gate again, and attack the east gate, west gate, and Chengtian gate in three batches. It’s good to be able to fight, but don’t force yourself if you can’t.”

"Your efforts to build momentum in the south will give us a great boost. The guards in the palace will definitely lose their morale... This way we can go straight down to the Xuanwu Gate and enter the Kunning Palace."

"As long as the emperor and empress fall into our hands, the great event has been accomplished... No matter how many reinforcements come, it will be useless."

After hearing this, Qi Tai hesitated a bit:

"Huang Taichang, this method..."

He wanted to say that this method was very inappropriate, but considering Huang Zicheng's position in Zhu Yunqi's heart, he hesitated to say the second half of the sentence.

Even if Qi Tai has never led troops to fight, he still knows that it is the best strategy to lead the dead to attack the gate of the palace from outside.

How could this be possible?

The imperial guards are all people with high martial arts skills. It's okay for those dead soldiers to bully the common people. How can they be used head-on when they meet regular imperial guards?

Seeing Qi Tai's hesitation, Huang Zicheng was rather dissatisfied.

In fact, Huang Zicheng's arrangement was a little careful.

Those present, Commander Zhao and Commander Xie are both military generals, Chu Tianyong and Yao Er are not subjects, they are just Jianghu people raised by Zhu Yunqi in the house...

Only Qi Tai was born as an orthodox Jinshi, and was once the famous Jieyuan of Yingtianfu.

Huang Zicheng has long been determined in his heart that today's great event can be accomplished, and when the time comes, merit will be rewarded. He doesn't want Qi Tai to get the same credit as him.

At this time, Qi Tai was dismissed and asked him to take the dead soldiers to attack the outer palace gate, because he was afraid that Qi Tai would be there when something big happened, and Zhu Yunqi felt that the two civil servants were as important.

Huang Zicheng looked at Qi Tai, frowned and said:

"What's the matter Shangli (Qi Tai's word), at such a critical juncture, don't you still have to pick someone up?"

Qi Tai shook his head again and again, saying:

"It's not that I want to put down the pick, it's really... that's all, I'll go and do it according to Taichang's will."

Huang Zicheng snorted softly, as if to say that this is more or less the same.

In his opinion, he already has [-] imperial guards, attacking them unprepared in the palace is like entering the land of no one.

Coupled with the support of Chu Tianyong and Yao Er, the two peerless masters, the capture of Kunning Palace is a certainty, so there is no need to worry about it.

Watching Qi Tai leave the palace from the north door.

With hands behind his back, Huang Zicheng came to the two commanders and said:

"Two, let's get started."

"Tonight, we will only go to Kunning Palace, and we must not create any extra problems."

"Once the Xuanwu Gate is taken down, the emperor must know that we must go to the 'Qing Emperor's side' as quickly as possible!"

Commanders Zhao and Xie clasped their fists together and said:

"As ordered!"

After putting down his hands, Commander Xie who came from outside the palace smiled and said:

"Don't worry Huang Taichang, you see the palace is so quiet, there is no sound of the imperial guards moving... It can be seen that no one knows our actions this time!"

"When we go to the Xuanwu Gate, we just need to cheat, and we can guarantee that we can take down the Xuanwu Gate before they react!"

Commander Zhao echoed:

"What Commander Xie said is that there are only about a hundred guards of the Xuanwu Gate, and we have more than 900 people, so we can take it down no matter what!"

Huang Zicheng was very satisfied and said:

"The soldiers are very fast."

"Let's go, you two."

"Okay! Let's go! Go to Xuanwu Gate!"

Watching the imperial guards of nearly a thousand people, taking advantage of the night, they rushed to Xuanwumen mightily.

Huang Zicheng let out a long breath of relief.

……

Inside Kunning Palace.

Zhu Xiongying is arranging for the forbidden army to guard the entrances and exits of Kunning Palace.

He expected that he would have to hold out for an hour when the opponent attacked Kunning Palace before he could wait for reinforcements.

So, he also thought about it, this time he can't hide in the palace, but he has to make a move to ensure that the opponent's martial arts people will not rush in as soon as possible.

at this time.

In the direction of Xuanwu Gate, the flames gradually lit up, and there were sounds of fighting and screams!

"Has it started?"

Zhu Xiongying also breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that the imperial guards of Xuanwumen had not yet rebelled.

In this way, the other party will inevitably encounter obstacles.

Moreover.

Someone has already spread the news that the emperor has strictly ordered the imperial guards not to move without authorization. The imperial guards of Xuanwu Gate will definitely become suspicious and be wary of the other party when they see a large group of imperial guards approaching.

At least they won't be caught off guard.

However, such shouting did not last long.

On the other side of the Xuanwu Gate, it quickly fell silent.

Zhu Xiongying knew that they were about to meet the person on the other side.

at this time.

Zhu Xiongying closed his eyes and turned on the scanning mode of the system.

And, turn on the dots of all colors.

In this way, no matter what kind of luck he has, as long as he is a living person, he will definitely be able to scan it.

scan interface.

A large number of blue, white and gray dots are running towards the Kunning Palace. They are in neat formation, and they look like trained Imperial Guards.

"The action is really fast... It seems that their number is far more than the guards of the Xuanwu Gate."

"Want to take down Kunning Palace quickly? Oh, the idea is quite beautiful."

Zhu Xiongying opened his eyes, holding Shangfang sword, standing in front of the palace gate.

At his request, the door of the palace was closed, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were temporarily safe in it.

As long as Zhu Xiongying does not fall, he will be able to protect the two elders safe and sound.

"Commander Jiang, they're here."

After Zhu Xiongying confirmed the distance, he said in a deep voice.

Jiang Jai, who was standing beside Zhu Xiongying, soon heard the vibration of footsteps on the ground.

"Everyone, strictly guard the palace gates, for His Majesty, fight to the death without retreating!"

Jiang Jaw pulled out the saber from his waist, raised it and shouted loudly.

Chapter 225 Didn't You Say You Want To Take Me Down Within Three Moves?

The battle will soon begin.

The Kunning Palace is not too big, nor is it small.

Although the imperial army under Jiang Jaw can guard every palace gate, once the manpower is dispersed, the guard force that can be formed will be weakened a lot.

Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from various palace gates, although Jiang Jai was calm, his expression was unavoidably tense.

"Commander Jiang, don't worry, I guess as long as we can hold on for another hour, the reinforcements will arrive."

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Jiang Jai couldn't help saying:

"For Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress, the minister and his subordinates will definitely fight to the death... However, judging from the shouts of killing, the opponent's number is several times that of ours... Kunning Palace has no high walls and deep ravines, I'm afraid... "

Zhu Xiongying raised the Shangfang Sword in his hand and said:

"I'll be there when necessary."

……

Around Kunning Palace, the sound of shouting and killing was loud.

Jiang Jai's imperial guards, relying on the palace gate, struggled to defend against the opponent's wave after wave of attacks.

Although the palace gate has not yet fallen, it seems that the defenders are already very reluctant.

"Commander Jiang! The South Gate is about to lose its hold!"

A guard covered in blood ran over, clasped his fists and said.

Jiang Jai held a long knife, glanced at Zhu Xiongying, and said:

"If you can't keep it, let me keep it!"
