Just then.

Li Zicheng's rebel army once again surged into Beiping City like a tidal wave!

even.

Li Zicheng also rode his warhorse and took the lead!
"Brothers!"

"Storm into the palace! All the gold and jewels in this palace are yours!"

With Li Zicheng's order, hundreds of thousands of troops poured into the palace in an instant!
just.

Li Zicheng's deputy suddenly rushed in front of him!
"Report! Your Majesty, something strange has happened in the palace!" This deputy general was among the first wave of rebels to storm the palace.

and so.

The lieutenant general naturally spotted the pterosaurs, velociraptors, and the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty!

Even the first wave of troops led by this deputy general were brutally killed by the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards!

"Strange phenomenon?"

"What strange phenomenon?" When Li Zicheng, the rebel leader, heard his deputy's report, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

Obviously.

Li Zicheng was unaware of what had happened.

The lieutenant, his voice trembling with emotion, reported, "Your Majesty, a large number of monsters have appeared within the palace! These monsters can even fly in the sky!"

"And there are two-legged monsters! They keep attacking the rebels!"

When the deputy general informed Li Zicheng of the situation in the palace, the latter showed a disdainful expression.

Obviously.

Li Zicheng completely disregarded the strange phenomenon mentioned by his deputy!
"What strange phenomenon! That's utter nonsense!"

"Issue my order!"

"All rebel forces, attack Beiping!"

In Li Zicheng's view, the deputy general was just exaggerating! Now, the rebel army had successfully captured Beiping City, and the imperial palace was right in front of them.

The opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty was within reach, so regardless of whether what the deputy general said was true or false, Li Zicheng had to take a gamble!
soon.

As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, tens of thousands of troops began to march towards the palace.

After the rebel army's burning, killing, and looting, the entire city of Beiping was now reduced to ruins.

Look around.

This rebel army was like demons, slaughtering civilians without any mercy.

It can be said.

At that time, this rebel army had completely lost its military discipline!
They stormed into people's homes, plundered their property, and humiliated women. In short, the rebels have lost all semblance of justice!
Greed and desire completely took control of the rebels' minds!
outside the city.

Li Zicheng looked excited.

Looking at the completely collapsed city of Beiping, he was naturally quite excited!

He knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was now just like the dilapidated city of Beiping, having lost its vitality!
Behind Li Zicheng were dozens of generals.

The reason why Li Zicheng was able to capture Beiping City so quickly was naturally related to the fierce generals under his command!
"Your Majesty, you are about to destroy the Ming Dynasty! After that, the world will belong to the Great Shun Dynasty!"

One of the generals remarked with great emotion.

Then.

The other dozen or so generals also shouted in unison to Li Zicheng, "Long live the Emperor!"

Li Zicheng, equally excited, addressed the generals behind him: "If I can truly become the emperor of this land, you will naturally be promoted and ennobled!"

"I will never forget your contributions!"

The excitement on everyone's faces after hearing this was self-evident.

nowadays.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the day they could breach the palace and enter its walls!

"This Chongzhen Emperor was utterly depraved and a complete tyrant!"

"The reason I started this rebellion is to act on behalf of Heaven. I will personally destroy this Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian!"

"Issue my order! All troops shall immediately march to this palace, breach its walls, and capture Emperor Chongzhen alive!"

As soon as Li Zicheng finished speaking, the generals immediately responded!
"Capture Emperor Chongzhen alive! Act on behalf of Heaven!"

……

then!

Surrounded by numerous generals, Li Zicheng, the rebel leader, led his army toward the palace!
Not long after.

Li Zicheng's army then basically occupied Beiping City.

Of course, this excludes the royal palace.

During this period, the Ming army was no match for the rebel army. General Li Guozhen was seriously wounded while trying to resist Li Zicheng's army.

now.

Inside this palace.

Emperor Chongzhen still looked quite flustered. Not long after, Li Guozhen fled into the palace in a panic!

"Report! Your Majesty, the rebel army has occupied Beiping City! These beasts are burning, killing, and looting within the city! They are committing all sorts of atrocities!"

"Although I led the troops to resist, the sheer number of them is overwhelming... we are no match for them!"

"Your Majesty, the rebel army is about to breach the palace."

Li Guozhen roared almost at the top of his lungs!

He looked quite nervous.

Upon hearing the latest military news, Emperor Chongzhen immediately turned his attention to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Emperor Hongwu, what should we do now?" Chongzhen knew very well that the only one capable of saving the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Hongwu.

Just after Chongzhen finished speaking, the sound of horses' hooves rang out outside the palace! At the same time, various shouts were also heard.

Moreover, the sound is becoming clearer and clearer!

Everyone knew that Li Zicheng's rebel army was about to breach the palace gates!

At this moment, every official of the Ming Dynasty looked tense.

After all, if Li Zicheng's rebel army were to breach the palace gates, everyone present would likely be killed by the rebels.

After hearing what Chongzhen said, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and his eyes revealed a murderous intent!
Obviously.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious!
"boom!!"

In the blink of an eye, the palace gates of Fengtian Square were suddenly smashed open by the rebel army.

moment.

Tens of thousands of soldiers poured into the palace.

At the same time, the soldiers were shouting, "Act on behalf of Heaven! Capture Emperor Chongzhen alive!"

The sound was quite loud and clear!
but.

At that very moment, tens of thousands of Imperial Guards of the Ming Empire were already ready for battle!
The Pterodactyl army took to the air, while the Velociraptor army bared its sharp fangs, and tens of thousands of Imperial Guard soldiers raised their flintlock muskets!

Their only target was Li Zicheng's rebel army!
at the same time.

Li Zicheng's soldiers also saw tens of thousands of Ming imperial guards standing ready for battle!

To be honest, these rebels panicked when they saw so many Imperial Guards!
In a short time.

Many rebels were on edge.

"How is that possible! Why does the Ming Dynasty still have so many troops?"

"Yes! Weren't Li Guozhen's imperial guards all decimated?"

"A monster has appeared in the sky!"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why is this happening? Has the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guard been resurrected?"

The rebels all looked puzzled; none of them knew what had happened.

In the eyes of these rebels, the Ming Dynasty was already out of troops. But now...

Suddenly, a large number of Ming soldiers appeared in Fengtian Square inside the palace, and these Ming soldiers looked murderous!
They were completely different from the Ming army the rebels had encountered before!
While the rebels were still wondering what was going on, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted, "Kill!"

"Leave no rebels alive!"

"Kill them all!"

"These bastards actually dared to rebel against our Great Ming Dynasty! Their hearts are wicked!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

He wanted all these rebels to die inside the palace!
At this moment.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, these imperial guards did not hesitate at all and immediately began the massacre!

The Imperial Guard soldiers immediately opened fire on the flintlock muskets!
In an instant.

Countless bullets were fired at the rebels!
at the same time.

The Velociraptors and Pterodactyls also mobilized immediately, charging into the rebel army with overwhelming force.

to be frank.

Li Zicheng's army was mostly composed of rebels, and rebels had a serious problem: although they were numerous, their fighting ability was quite poor!
Most of the soldiers did not receive professional military training, so when Li Zicheng's rebel army clashed with the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guard, the outcome was already decided!
Although the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards were far fewer in number than the rebels, their combat effectiveness far surpassed that of their opponents!

Besides.

With the addition of troops such as the Pterosaur Army and the Velociraptor Army, the battle immediately turned into a one-sided massacre!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The flintlock muskets and red-coated cannons unleashed their power!
In an instant, tens of thousands of rebels had completely collapsed.

It can be said.

These hundreds of thousands of rebels were like ants in front of the Ming army, utterly powerless to resist.

The pterosaur swooped down from the sky, grabbed a dozen rebels with its beak and claws, and flew high into the air before dropping them down.

In addition, a large number of velociraptors rushed into the army and began a frenzied battle!

It must be said that these soldiers were no match for the Ming Empire.

Instantly.

The hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers scattered and fled, like birds and beasts...

now.

For Emperor Chongzhen, this scene was undoubtedly a revelation of his understanding.

Originally, when Chongzhen saw the rebel army storming into the palace, he thought it would definitely be a fierce battle.

but!

Now, however, it has become a one-sided massacre.

This greatly surprised Emperor Chongzhen.

He couldn't believe that the Ming soldiers in front of him were so powerful!
This contrasts sharply with the Ming army under his own command.

"Only an army like this can be called the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Such combat power is truly formidable."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed from the bottom of his heart.

As for Li Guozhen, the great general of the late Ming Dynasty, he was equally excited. Ever since Li Zicheng's army entered the vicinity of Beiping City, Li Guozhen had led his army to fight against the rebels many times.

just.

The fighting strength of the Ming Dynasty's imperial guards led by Li Guozhen was truly nothing to write home about.

They were no match for the large number of rebels.

even.

They suffered defeat after defeat, utterly powerless to retaliate.

But now!
This Ming army seemed quite relaxed and under no pressure when facing Li Zicheng's rebel army!

In a matter of moments, the vast Fengtian Square was filled with the corpses of the rebels!
"How is this possible? How could the Imperial Guard be so powerful?"

"Incredible! Incredible!"

The other civil and military officials were also deeply moved upon seeing this scene.

"Our Ming army actually routed these rebels? Am I dreaming?"

"That was exhilarating! These rebels are no match for our Ming Dynasty Imperial Guards!"

"Slaughter! This is a one-sided slaughter!"

"The Ming Empire is saved!!"

The officials immediately began to discuss among themselves, while Zhu Ying simply waved his hand, and then a phantom image of the Longevity Fruit Tree appeared in the sky.

Immediately.

The phantom of the Longevity Fruit Tree began to frequently absorb the blood energy on the battlefield.

In a short while.

The Longevity Fruit Tree began to glow with a purplish-red light.

now.

The rebels' mentality has completely collapsed.

They couldn't believe that the Ming Dynasty, which was now on the verge of collapse, still had such a powerful army.

As one rebel soldier after another fell, the remaining soldiers naturally did not hesitate and immediately began to flee back!

Zhu Ying naturally noticed this as well.

then.

Zhu Ying immediately said to Liu Lei, "Liu Lei, immediately lead the Wangwei Winged Dragon Army to seal off the city gates. We absolutely cannot allow these rebels to escape!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Liu Lei immediately accepted the order.

Immediately, three thousand Wang Wei Yilong soldiers took off and began patrolling the skies over the entire city of Beiping!
Simultaneously.

Many of the Pterodactyl soldiers charged directly into the area around the city gate, and when the rebels tried to escape, the Pterodactyl soldiers killed them on the spot!
now.

The hundreds of thousands of rebels were completely trapped inside Beiping City, like turtles in a jar!
Then!

With the cooperation of the Pterodactyl Army and the Velociraptor Army, they continued their relentless pursuit of the rebels.

And on Fengtian Square.

The civil and military officials of the late Ming Dynasty were truly shocked when they saw thousands of pterosaurs taking to the sky.

"What kind of beast is this? It can actually carry people through the air! It's unbelievable!"

"Yes, it's really strange. We've never seen such a creature in history books!"

"Could it be a mythical beast from the Classic of Mountains and Seas? I remember that the Classic of Mountains and Seas records many such strange and wondrous creatures!"

"If you ask me, since this kind of strange beast can fly, it must be a divine beast from the Heavenly Palace!"

"That's right, that explains it! These Imperial Guards and these strange beasts must have been sent down by the Heavenly Palace!"

"Long live the Great Ming Empire! Long live Emperor Hongwu!"

"May Heaven bless the Great Ming!"

Not only were the civil and military officials quite shocked by this, but Emperor Chongzhen was as well.

As he watched countless pterosaurs and velociraptors begin to mercilessly slaughter the rebels, Chongzhen felt a deep sense of excitement and exhilaration.

after all.

Since the start of the war, the Ming army has suffered repeated defeats and has been the one in disarray.

Now, the tables have turned, and it's the Ming army's turn to begin slaughtering the rebels.

Compared to the shock of Emperor Chongzhen and the officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying were quite calm.

"Hero."

"Don't let these rebels escape! They must all be killed! These guys are unforgivable!" After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Ying nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, they can't escape."
