When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Late at night, the entire palace was shrouded in silence, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility.

Just a few days ago, the entire court was shocked to discover that the emperor had mysteriously disappeared!
For a moment, there was an uproar in the palace, and everyone was looking everywhere in a panic.

The ministers of the Yuan Dynasty turned almost the entire palace upside down, but in the end they still could not find any trace of the emperor.

Some people speculated that the emperor might have been abducted by criminals, or that he had just left the palace on a whim to go on a private visit.

Since the emperor is no longer in the palace, the patrol force in the palace has been significantly reduced compared to before.

After all, in the absence of the emperor, the practical significance of the patrol seemed to have been greatly reduced.

"Hmph, I thought there would be a fierce battle waiting for us when we first arrived, but I never expected the security in the palace to be so lax." Wan Chao Zhu Di could not help but snorted coldly, a scornful smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Zhu Ming on the side smiled and replied, "I think everyone in the palace has gone out to look for the emperor. Now even the emperor is nowhere to be seen in the palace. Even if you patrol here, what if you accidentally run into a concubine? You know, the place I chose to sneak into was the harem."

"Well, since that's the case, let's follow the third plan. First, concentrate firepower to blast open the city wall, and then the large army will quickly launch an operation to leave Yuan Dadu. Find my little daddy as soon as possible." Wan Chao Zhu Di said solemnly.

It was obvious that at this moment, Zhu Di had no intention of immediately capturing the palace.

I saw several rocket launchers aiming at the tall and solid city wall, like a group of ferocious beasts ready to pounce on their prey at the command.

"boom!"

With the sudden outbreak of several deafening noises, the originally quiet and silent palace was instantly broken.

The sound was particularly abrupt and loud in the empty palace, like a bolt from the blue, making people terrified.

Almost in an instant, this huge movement successfully attracted the attention of the palace guards.

"What happened? Was there thunder just now?" a guard asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Thunder? I don't think so. It sounds more like cannon fire." Another guard nearby shook his head in denial.

"Cannon sounds? Who would fire cannons in the palace at night?"

"Look, the moon in the sky is still shining brightly. There is no sign of rain at all." Someone else echoed.

"No, we have to go over and check it out." As they said that, several guards hurriedly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

However, what they didn't know was that just before they got close, several more shots were fired in succession.

Accompanied by loud noises, the city wall in front collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.

At this time, Emperor Wan Chao's Zhu Di had already carefully arranged everything.

He arranged a total of 10,000 elite soldiers to resist the guard troops from inside the palace, and then personally led the rest of the troops to quickly evacuate from the gap in the city wall that had been blown open.

The patrol soldiers who were the first to arrive at the scene were shocked by the scene before them when they came to a corner of the back garden - the place was crowded with densely packed figures.

With so many people gathered together, and each of them was fully armed, it was obviously impossible that they were palace maids.

"No, there are assassins!"

One of them was the first to react and shouted in fear.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rapid gongs instantly resounded throughout the entire palace, and the sound of warnings was endless.

At the same time, a burst of intensive gunfire rang out.

In an instant, the patrol team of only a dozen soldiers was shot and fell to the ground, with blood splattering everywhere.

Soon, other escort troops also arrived one after another after hearing the news.

However, what awaited them was the heavily guarded formation of the allied forces of Wanchao.

These coalition forces firmly guarded each key entrance, and any soldier who dared to rush forward became a target under their guns without exception.

For a moment, shouts and sounds of gunfire were intertwined, and the entire palace fell into chaos and blood.

Without their war horses, the Mongolian cavalry's powerful fighting power instantly dropped like a waterfall.

Even though they were armed with cold weapons, they still pale in comparison to the coalition forces of all dynasties who trained hard day after day.

What's more, the coalition forces of all dynasties were also equipped with advanced guns and powerful cannons, which made the gap in strength between the two sides even wider.

Before long, the several entrances leading to the back garden of the imperial palace were filled with the corpses of the Yuan army, forming a horrifying obstacle.

The remaining surviving Yuan soldiers were filled with fear upon seeing this tragic scene, and dared not to move forward rashly anymore.

Some Yuan soldiers tried to climb over the wall, but as soon as they showed their heads, they became perfect targets for the allied forces and were shot dead instantly. This was a demonstration of what it means to be shot down instantly as soon as you show your head.

As the main force evacuated the palace, dozens of soldiers quietly lurked in Yuan Dadu, while others walked towards the city gate in an orderly manner.

In order to avoid accidents, Zhu Ming teleported another 100,000 troops!
Not to mention that the Yuan Dynasty was completely unprepared for this. Even if it had made adequate preparations in advance, it would probably have been difficult to resist this aggressive army of 100,000.

The army has rapidly advanced to a place not far from the city gate.

The soldiers responsible for guarding the city gate naturally noticed this huge army rapidly approaching the city gate.

They were all shocked and mistakenly thought that this was a team sent by the imperial court, so they hurriedly sent people forward to inquire for details.

However, Zhu Di in the coalition army of all dynasties did not hesitate. He raised his hand and fired a shot, accurately hitting the person who came to ask questions, and then led the army to continue forward.

After witnessing this scene, the other soldiers on duty thought something was wrong.

They looked at each other with pale faces, and one of them reacted quickly, puffed up his cheeks, and blew the sharp and rapid horn desperately.

At the same time, another clever soldier rushed forward like an arrow, with hurried steps and a panicked look, wanting to report the emergency to the general defending the city as soon as possible.

"boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly sounded, as if the whole earth was shaking. The general defending the city was originally immersed in a sweet dream, but was suddenly awakened by the sudden roar.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "I didn't expect it to thunder. It really scared me." Before he finished speaking, he turned over and prepared to continue his meeting with Zhou Gong.

However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away.

Then, a panicked voice shouted, "General, something bad has happened! An army of tens of thousands of people is attacking our city gates!"

Upon hearing this, the general defending the city sat up suddenly, with sleepiness and confusion still on his face. He asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Where did tens of thousands of troops come from? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

You know, this is an important place in the capital, and the surroundings have always been peaceful and tranquil. There has never been any news of any large-scale uprising army. How could tens of thousands of enemy troops suddenly appear and attack the city for no reason?
The soldier who came to report was sweating profusely and quickly replied: "I am definitely not mistaken. The loud noise just now was the sound of the artillery firing!"

"boom!"

There was another deafening bang, even louder than the previous one.

This time the generals defending the city heard it clearly and no longer had any doubts.

He lost all his sleepiness in an instant, his face became extremely solemn, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. "It's not thunder, it really sounds like a cannon, help me put on my armor!" He ordered loudly while hurriedly putting on his armor.

The power of Krupp's cannon was enough to destroy the world in this era. When dozens of such huge cannons roared in unison, the impact and destructive power they generated were enough to turn any solid fortifications into pieces.

Under the ravages of this violent force, the city gate was instantly blown to pieces, turning into countless wood chips and stones that flew everywhere.

Even the city walls were not spared, a large section of the wall collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.

The soldiers on duty had never seen such a horrific scene before. They were already stunned and scared out of their wits.

Although they had seen cannons before, they could not imagine a giant like this with such amazing power no matter how hard they tried.

It was night time at this moment, and the number of soldiers guarding the city wall was already sparse. Faced with the tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city pouring in like a tide, the little will to resist left in their hearts was gone.

With only a meager salary, knowing that they could not win, why bother fighting for the city? Therefore, these soldiers chose to hide on the top of the city wall, trying to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy.

Wan Chao Zhu Di stood in the distance and watched the battle. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer of contempt, and then he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "All soldiers, listen to my orders, the Jianwen Corps should be alert, and the others are going out in the light!"

At this moment, the general guarding the city was still in the room, frantically putting on his armor. He had no idea what was happening outside, let alone that the city gate he was guarding had already fallen, and tens of thousands of enemy troops were evacuating through the city gate in an orderly manner.

After just a few minutes, the city defending general finally put on his armor with great difficulty and rushed out of the bedroom in a hurry.

When he arrived at the city wall, he was dumbfounded when he saw with his own eyes tens of thousands of enemy soldiers holding mysterious weapons similar to muskets, and marching out of the city gate in an orderly manner with uniform steps.

The enemy troops did not seem to have any intention of capturing the city wall. They just kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings, as if they were ready to deal with any emergency that might arise at any time.

The general narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of impatience and anger. He turned around suddenly, raised his palm without hesitation, and slapped the soldier who came to report the news on the face.

The soldier staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Hmph! Where are the enemy troops? They are obviously our soldiers going to war, but they didn't inform us in advance! How dare you lie to me about military intelligence and disturb my sweet dreams? Go back to sleep!" the general shouted angrily. After that, he returned to his bedroom without looking back.

You know, this is in Yuan Dadu!

Although this place is the capital, there are no rebels around now, so it is impossible to send a hundred thousand troops to garrison here at any time. Especially at this late hour, there are only a few hundred soldiers patrolling on the city wall.

If they wanted to gather all the troops defending the city at this moment, by the time everything was ready, the enemy would have already disappeared without a trace. Moreover, judging from the speed of the enemy's actions, they would not have the slightest time to gather the troops.

Almost in an instant, this experienced general knew how to deal with the situation. So, he decisively chose to turn a deaf ear to the noise outside the city and pretended to know nothing. He also thought about how to deal with the ministers in the court.

Ten miles away from the capital, Wan Chao Zhu Di rode on a tall horse and slowly looked back at the road he had come from. A trace of regret appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "Alas, it seems that there are no pursuers. How boring! I was looking forward to having a hearty battle here."

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Ming on the side could not help but frown and said with a hint of reproach: "Look at you, you are so drunk, how can you be sober? Do you think you can still command the battle?"

Wan Chao Zhu Di chuckled and said: "Look at the generals who came to participate in the battle this time, they are so bright and shining!
The Qin Empire had the mighty General Meng Tian, ​​the fearless Wang Li, and the resourceful Li Xin; the Han Dynasty sent the invincible Wei Qing, the brave Huo Qubing, and the archer Li Guang; the Sui and Tang dynasties had the four famous Li Jing generals and many other powerful generals. The Song and Ming dynasties also had many capable and skilled generals.

With such a luxurious lineup, do I still need to direct it myself?
Even if a war really breaks out, my father-in-law, Commander Xu Da, will temporarily take my place and command the battle.

Otherwise, there is also you. To put it bluntly, I am just here to join in the fun and experience the tense atmosphere brought by this battle."

Zhu Ming looked in the direction Zhu Di pointed and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with such a powerful lineup of generals before them, it seems that the presence or absence of Zhu Di has little impact.

Not to mention that according to the military rank, the person with the highest position should be responsible for commanding the overall situation. Even if the situation is urgent and it is impossible to act according to the usual procedures, he can arbitrarily appoint someone to temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief without worrying about whether he can do the job. After all, none of these generals are mediocre and incompetent. "Well, I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. Now that everything has been arranged, we can go home. Leave these 10,000 soldiers who are responsible for running the map to continue their mission."

After saying this, Zhu Ming waved his hand and led the rest of the people away.

At this moment, the originally solemn and dignified palace had fallen into chaos, as if it had been stirred into chaos by an invisible giant hand.

The ministers who received the urgent news rushed into the palace in a panic, and everyone's face was full of anxiety and confusion.

As soon as everyone entered the palace gate, they couldn't wait to gather together and talk about the huge army that appeared mysteriously as if it had dropped from the sky.

"Who on earth are these people? How come such an army of hundreds of thousands of people of unknown origin suddenly appeared out of nowhere!" One of the ministers widened his eyes with a look of astonishment on his face.

Another minister frowned and analyzed, "Look at this army. They are well-trained and well-equipped. They are not something that ordinary forces can possess. I believe there must be strong support behind them."

Someone speculated: "But what's strange is that they didn't take this opportunity to capture the palace, but instead left the capital directly. Could it be that they really just took the wrong road?"

Another person interrupted and said, "According to the news, the first place where this army appeared was in the harem. This is really unbelievable. They can't have come here to have fun in the middle of the night, right?"

At this moment, a bold idea came to mind, and a minister lowered his voice and said, "Do you think His Majesty's strange disappearance this time is related to them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other in shock.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence: "What do you think? Could this be a secret army of His Majesty? Otherwise, how could they suddenly appear in the palace? Perhaps His Majesty is also in the army now."

"It's possible, but you should have told us. It was late at night and I was almost scared to death." (End of this chapter)
