History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 204

Among these people, Mrs. Xu, Second Mrs., Third Mrs. Hu, Shen, Xu Huan, and Lin Lang are the most respected. Even if Mrs. Xu can't stand the big deal, at this time, with Chu Hanyi as the backbone, she can survive in the end .With a cane in her hand, and supported by Yinfeng, the big maid who was close to her, she led the group of people into a small pavilion by the lake, and then entered the secret passage.The remaining maids and servants, regardless of their rank, will be arranged by Chu Hanyi.

Compared to the turmoil outside, Xu's residence was unexpectedly orderly.

Everything was arranged properly, Chu Hanyi and Xu Xiang put on their battle armors, and the golden sword and horse stood guard in front of Xu's mansion.Two hundred secret guards in the mansion guarded the inner perimeter, while the outer perimeter was densely surrounded by [-] elite soldiers who appeared from nowhere.Chu Hanyi had led troops to guard the city before, but now he only protected a mansion. Although there was no solid city wall to rely on, with [-] soldiers deployed inside and outside the mansion in hand, he did not have any fear.

Therefore, when Zhu Yong sent a young general with 1000 troops to attack, he was completely dumbfounded.There is no doubt that all these people were wiped out.Outside the capital, the [-] troops led by Xu Fengxian and Xu Fengying had already approached the city.Zhu Yong in the palace was shocked when he heard the news, and felt desperate for the first time after being shocked——

Obviously the Xu family had been prepared for a long time. The three thousand soldiers outside the Xu mansion appeared silently. No one knew where they appeared from, nor how many soldiers and horses there were in the mansion.The Xu family has hidden so many soldiers and horses secretly but no one knows about it. What does this mean?
The [-] Mobei Army outside the city are all elite soldiers, and it is unknown whether there will be reinforcements behind.The horn of battle has already sounded, Zhu Yong's men are definitely not Xu Fengxian's opponents, and with Chu Hanyi sitting in the city, it is impossible to threaten Xu's family members.What's even more frightening is that if Chu Hanyi still has strength outside the Hufu, then Xu's family should join forces with outsiders... Zhu Yong can't even think about it!

However, no matter how desperate he was, Zhu Yong was not a person who would sit still. He immediately counted the troops and stopped the purge of the royal family. Some of his troops were placed near the Xu residence to prevent Chu Hanyi from attacking.

From noon to late at night, there were countless casualties inside and outside the city walls, but there was no movement in the Xu residence.Chu Hanyi has been guarding the gate of the mansion, only defending but not attacking, the entire Xu mansion is surrounded like an iron barrel, not even a fly can fly in.He wanted to set fire to the mansion with random arrows, but the arrows could not even touch the walls of the Xu family; he wanted to use the nearby houses to ignite the fire, but the Xu family chose a good place when the mansion was first built, surrounded only by the garden of the dear family, The fire couldn't be too big, let alone Chu Hanyi's preparations. As soon as the flames reached Xu's house, someone would put out the fire with water.If you want to attack by force, it is even more like an egg hitting a stone.

Zhu Yong faced the battle in the city tower, he couldn't spare more energy to deal with Chu Hanyi, he was helpless.There are people from the Xu family inside and outside, and he still has to be on guard against Chu Hanyi who suddenly brings out a elusive Mobei army from somewhere. After five or six hours, he is exhausted physically and mentally.

The tens of thousands of Zhu's troops outside the city either died or fled. The Xu family had the upper hand in numbers and gradually surrounded them.

Zhu Yong sat in a pool of blood, only hearing the urgent reports from the sergeants—the emergency at Yiqiu Gate, the emergency at Chongming Gate, and the emergency at Tianbo Gate... The Zhu family’s army, which had been fighting all the way, was on the verge of defeat at this time, and its originally high morale had already dropped. , the defenders everywhere were stretched.
