When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 354: One Shot to Take Down the Palace

The allied forces of all dynasties gathered densely at the city gate, forming an indestructible line of defense.

We were on high alert and only allowed people to enter the city, but no one was allowed to escape from the city.

At this moment, the entire city seemed to be locked in a huge cage.

At the front of this coalition force, Zhu Di led the other brave and fearless soldiers towards the palace like a surging torrent.

Among them, Lao Zhao was the first to rush to the front. His hideous and distorted face was filled with terrifying murderous aura, as if he wanted to tear all the enemies in front of him into pieces.

The atmosphere in the court was extremely tense and depressing.

Many ministers sat together anxiously, and when they received the latest news about the enemy approaching the palace, everyone turned pale and was terrified.

Someone lamented in despair: “It’s over, the Song Dynasty is really going to be finished!”

Others were anxiously chanting: “The court is about to change!”

Some people complained with deep regret: “If we had known this would happen, we should have agreed to the unreasonable demands of the Jin people. In that case, at least the Song Dynasty would not have ended up like this and faced the crisis of national extinction!”

Some even placed their hopes on the troops from all over the country coming to rescue them, muttering to themselves, “I hope those troops from all over the world can come as soon as possible to wipe out these rebels.”

However, the most critical question always lingers in everyone’s mind – where is His Majesty now?

There is still no news from him till now. Could it be that he has really met with an accident?
Just when people were worried, the allied forces of all dynasties advanced unimpeded along the way and soon arrived at the gate of the imperial palace.

Zhu Di reined in the reins and looked up at the magnificent and beautiful palace of the Song Dynasty. He could not help but exclaim in admiration: “I had not looked closely at it before, but now I see that the so-called rich Song Dynasty is indeed worthy of its name! Look at this extremely luxurious building and exquisite decoration, it is many times better than the palace in my country.”

Zhao Kuangyin, who was standing by, could not help but snort when he heard this, his tone full of disdain and resentment: “No matter how magnificent it is, it will still be handed over to the greedy Jin people in the end. Instead of spending huge sums of money to decorate the facade, it is better to use the money to carefully build an invincible elite army. If we act in this way, perhaps there will be no so-called Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty!”

Zhu Ming shook his head gently and said slowly: “That may not be the case! The key is that the court was too afraid of the Jin people. They were clearly strong enough to fight, but they were timid and did not dare to take the initiative to attack. With treacherous officials in power, those truly capable generals were abandoned and not reused. I really don’t understand why the Song Dynasty cut off its own arm after the Jin people fooled them.

As the saying goes, “If one soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent.” Even if a large amount of manpower and material resources are spent to build a so-called elite army, in the end it will be nothing but a facade and not practical.

If it were our allied forces, even with the weapons and equipment here, we would be able to beat the Jin people so badly that they wouldn’t even recognize who their own mother is!”

Zhu Di and Lao Zhao agreed: “Xiao Zhu is right! An incompetent general can tire out the entire army. If a general has no talent, it will really make the whole army exhausted. So, should we choose to attack by force or find another way? If we want to attack by force, we can directly use artillery fire to blast open the city gate, or blow down a palace wall. It is quite convenient to operate.”

Zhu Ming waved his hand and responded, “Forget it. We will have to spend a lot of time and energy to repair the damage afterwards, which is a sheer waste of resources. In my opinion, it is better to send some people to let me teleport inside. Aren’t there a few scouts we have ambushed in the city? When the time is right, we can easily capture the city with the help of both sides.”

After hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhao Kuangyin nodded, indicating their agreement with this plan.

Zhao Kuangyin patted his broad and strong chest vigorously, and said loudly and heroically: “Just leave this matter to me! I will personally lead an elite force to carry out the mission, and I will definitely open the palace gate for you smoothly!”

Zhu Di, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and gently touched his chin, nodded thoughtfully, but then frowned again and muttered to himself: “Well… this arrangement is feasible, but I don’t know why, I always feel a little weird in my heart.”

Hearing what Zhu Di said, Zhu Ming couldn’t help but chuckle, with a sly look on his face, and teased: “That’s right, it’s a bit strange. Back then, our Ming Dynasty’s God of War Zhu Qizhen asked for his own door to be opened. This time, Old Zhao was even more straightforward and directly opened the door of his own house!”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Kuangyin, who was originally full of confidence, was stunned. His face flushed instantly. He shook his head hurriedly and explained anxiously: “This is absolutely incomparable! Who is Zhu Qizhen? How can he be compared with me! He is greedy for life and afraid of death. He knocked on the door of those foreign races in order to save his own life. And my action this time is entirely for the bright future of the Song Dynasty! Besides, we are all upright Han people, so don’t confuse me with a coward like Zhu Qizhen!”

As soon as Zhu Di heard the three words “Zhu Qizhen”, his face turned unhappy.

It’s so embarrassing.

The shame of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Di snorted heavily and said with disdain, “Humph! Zhu Qizhen, that good-for-nothing evildoer, if I ever meet him as a child, I will definitely teach him a lesson! Since he is so keen on knocking on doors, let him knock on doors door to door, every day!”

Although there were many guards in the palace, their fighting power was far inferior to that of the coalition forces from all dynasties that were pouring in like a tide.

Even if the 500 million Korean coalition forces faced hundreds of thousands of Jin troops, they could fight head-on and destroy the enemy completely.

It is not a problem to use it to seize the palace, let alone just open the palace gate.

Zhu Ming waved his hands, a mysterious light flashed, and in an instant a passage leading to an unknown place opened.

Without hesitation, he led the soldiers behind him, and disappeared from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

At this time, on the palace wall, many Song Dynasty soldiers were nervously looking at the densely packed and endless coalition forces of all dynasties below.

The soldiers all looked pale, their hearts filled with endless fear. They whispered to each other:
“Shi Tou, do you know where those people below come from?” a soldier asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The soldier called Stone shook his head and replied with a wry smile: “How can I know? Even our captain knows nothing about this.”

Another soldier speculated worriedly, “Could it be that someone is rebelling? Otherwise, why would so many soldiers suddenly appear in this city?”

“Well, it’s very possible. But I don’t know who has the courage to openly raise an army to cause chaos.” Another person echoed.

“Look at this situation, there must be hundreds of thousands of troops outside. If I had so many soldiers under my command, I might dare to give it a try.” A burly soldier said bravely.

Just as everyone was talking about it, suddenly, the tens of thousands of coalition forces that had gathered in a certain area disappeared out of thin air like ghosts.

Many soldiers on the palace wall happened to witness this strange sight. They were stunned with their mouths opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in.

“Is there something wrong with my eyes? There were clearly many people there just now, how could they disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye?” A soldier rubbed his eyes suspiciously and muttered to himself in disbelief.

Another soldier nearby nodded hurriedly in agreement: “I saw it too. Could it be some magical trick? This is too weird!”

Someone else exclaimed, “Could it be that the legendary heavenly soldiers and generals have come down to earth?”

Just as the soldiers were looking at each other in confusion.

Suddenly, countless figures appeared in an empty area in the palace.

Fifty thousand troops suddenly appeared here like gods descending from the sky.

These 50,000 mighty troops all came from the era of Zhao Kuangyin.

Old Zhao rode on his tall horse, looking around fiercely. Perhaps the incident outside the palace wall attracted the guards inside the palace, and at this moment, there was not a single person in sight.

“All soldiers, listen up! Capture the palace gate immediately and prepare to welcome our distinguished guests!” Old Zhao shouted loudly with full energy, and at the same time, he waved the whip in his hand and accurately calibrated the direction of advance.

With his order, the tens of thousands of troops behind him rushed towards the palace gate like a surging tide.

On the way, many palace maids and eunuchs happened to see this aggressive team. They were frightened and stood there like a fool, unable to move.

A small team of imperial guards consisting of dozens of people happened to be patrolling nearby.

From afar, I could see 50,000 troops approaching with murderous intent.

In an instant, the faces of these dozens of imperial guards turned pale, but they still forced themselves to remain calm, straightened their backs, stood in unison, and dared not move.

He watched helplessly as the huge army rushed past him, not even daring to breathe, for fear that the slightest carelessness would bring him death.

Not long after, Lao Zhao led his men and rushed to the palace gate at lightning speed.

The soldiers above were originally looking ahead vigilantly, when they suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from behind them and hurriedly turned around to check the situation.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the weapons and equipment those people carried were exactly the same as those of the army outside the palace, even their uniforms and military flags were exactly the same!
“This…what on earth is going on?” One of the soldiers widened his eyes and muttered to himself in astonishment, “Why are the weapons and equipment of these people behind us exactly the same as those of the army outside the palace?”

“Could it be possible that they have already broken into the palace?” another soldier asked with a pale face and a trembling voice.

“Aren’t we surrounded?” another soldier shouted in panic.

For a moment, the imperial guards on the entire palace wall fell into panic, and everyone turned their eyes to the general standing on the spot, hoping to get some instructions and comfort from him.

However, at this moment, the general of the imperial guards who was in charge was also dumbfounded and stunned.

No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out why such an enemy force suddenly appeared behind him.

Lao Zhao shouted, “Zhu Zi, take care of the other general!”

After two breaths, a loud “bang” broke the silence at the scene.

A soldier with extremely sharp eyes decisively raised the Luoyang rifle in his hand, aimed at the still dazed general of the imperial guards and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, the bullet whizzed out and hit the head of the imperial guard general accurately.

Poor general, he didn’t even have time to groan before his head exploded like a blood flower, and then his body fell limply to the cold ground.

Seeing this, Lao Zhao was overjoyed and could not help but praise loudly: “Well done! Great job! There will be a big reward, an extra three months’ salary!”

Then, Lao Zhao waved his hand, signaling his men to pick up a loud speaker and shouted at the imperial guards in the direction of the palace gate: “Put down your weapons and surrender immediately! As long as you surrender obediently, we promise not to kill innocent people!”

The Imperial Guards general was shot in the head!
Very bloody.

The imperial guards today are no longer as brave and capable as they were when they were first established. They have long since turned into a group of useless people with nothing but beauty!

When the deafening sound of the loud horn came, the imperial guards put down their weapons without any hesitation and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands like frightened rabbits.

Seeing this scene, Old Zhao felt mixed emotions.

On the one hand, I felt very happy because this battle, which could have been extremely brutal, was resolved so easily.

He was really surprised that the enemy surrendered after just one shot.

In this way, not only can more unnecessary casualties be avoided, but also the loss of power to the Song Dynasty can be reduced.

But on the other hand, Lao Zhao couldn’t help but get furious.

You know, these imperial guards are the elite troops responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial palace!
Yet they chose to surrender so easily. This shows that this team is already rotten and degenerate to the extreme!

If the person who attacked today was not me but a traitor with evil intentions, the consequences would be disastrous!

Thinking of this, Lao Zhao couldn’t help but take a breath.

Then, Lao Zhao quickly sent his capable men to take over the defense of the area.

The heavy palace door slowly opened, making a dull creaking sound.

Afterwards, Zhu Di led a part of the army and marched into the palace with neat and powerful steps.

Old Zhao chuckled and said, “Just now I thought you should have called out.”

“Yes, but you have to add a name in front of it, Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty”

Although the palace is not small, with the influx of hundreds of thousands of troops, people can be seen everywhere in the palace.

The allied forces of all dynasties soon took control of the entire palace.

in the hall.

During the Jing Kang period, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were filled with panic.

The allied forces of all nations have surrounded the place, pointing their rifles at them.

Old Zhao took the lead and stepped into the hall.

He sat directly on the dragon throne at the front. (End of this chapter)
