The Revolt of the Three Feudatories: All-in at the start in Beijing

Upon receiving the news, Pan Feng immediately mounted his horse and headed towards Zhengyang Gate. When he arrived at the city wall, the Eight Banners soldiers had already gathered below and were frantically climbing the wall using ladders.

There was only a hundred soldiers here. If Pan Feng hadn't arrived in time, the Eight Banners soldiers would not have been able to hold them off once they climbed the city walls.

"Commander, look!"

"Those damned Manchu bastards are arresting ordinary people!"

Just as Pan Feng was defending against the enemy, his personal guards looked down at the city with angry expressions, and swear words came out of their mouths without warning.

Upon hearing this, Pan Feng immediately looked over and saw that the Eight Banners soldiers were already arresting civilians near Zhengyang Gate, including his mother-in-law. He was immediately anxious and jumped up and down.

The outer city was densely populated, and just by arresting them, more than 300 people were all driven to the city gate. If stones were thrown from the city wall, it would harm the civilians.

"These beasts!"

"Beast!"

Tong Guowei also stepped forward at this moment, first ordering the Eight Banners soldiers to stop attacking the city, and then looking towards the city wall.

"You are all subjects of my Great Qing Dynasty, and I don't want to harm you. Opening the city gates will save them; otherwise, I will order the killings!"

"Think about it carefully. How much silver did the emperor of the Han Dynasty give you? Just open the city gates, and my Great Qing will give you double that, and from then on, you'll have an ironclad harvest!"

Seeing that the number of soldiers on Zhengyang Gate was increasing, it was almost impossible to force a way into the inner city. Tong Guowei could only use the method of enticement to persuade them to surrender.

Upon hearing this, Pan Feng felt a pang of anxiety, not because she was worried about Fu Gui, but because of her mother-in-law's family down in the city.

Pan Feng's mother-in-law seemed to have seen it, and immediately stood up and started yelling at Pan Feng on the city wall.

"Pan Feng, you dog! If you dare to open the city gates today and let those barbarian bastards into the capital, I'll sever all ties with you and make my daughter divorce you."

"I've lived long enough. All I need to do is take good care of your wife and your brother-in-law, Xiao Dong!"

Tong Guowei was fluent in Mandarin and immediately understood that he had captured the garrison commander's mother-in-law. He became interested and stepped forward to pick up Pan Feng's mother-in-law.

"That Pan Feng upstairs!"

"Now I'm giving you two choices: either you open the city gates and I'll raise you up and make you my slave, or I'll kill her right now!"

As Tong Guowei spoke, he held a knife to Pan Feng's mother-in-law's neck and continued to threaten her.

"I'll only give you three counts to think it over!"

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

Just as Pan Feng's mother-in-law closed her eyes, Pan Feng was gritting her teeth, and Tong Guowei was about to strike, a guard in a yellow jacket, covered in wounds, rushed over.

"Lord Tong, hurry! Go save the Emperor!"

"That damned emperor of Han, with eight hundred cavalrymen charging at him, has already chased him to Deshengmen!"

???

Upon hearing this, Tong Guowei almost thought the guard was fake, but the fluent Manchu was also genuine, and he immediately realized it was real. Enraged, he kicked Pan Feng's mother-in-law into the moat.

"Quickly, everyone leave the city immediately!"

After giving the order, Tong Guowei hurriedly mounted his horse and left with dozens of his personal guards.

Pan Feng was overjoyed upon seeing this.

The mother-in-law didn't die, and the best part is she can swim.

And reinforcements have arrived!

……

Outside Deshengmen, on the vast wasteland, Kangxi fled with five hundred guards, pursued by Liu Mu with eight hundred imperial guards.

Liu Mu was extremely excited at this moment, because heaven was also on his side. Ouyang Jing had actually been provided with more than three thousand warhorses in Hejian Prefecture.

These warhorses were mainly prepared for the establishment of post stations in the south. They had just been transferred from the grasslands and had not yet caught up with the main army.

Subsequently, Liu Mu led three thousand imperial guards, one man and three horses, in a day-and-night pursuit, and finally arrived in Beijing at this time.

Seeing that all the Eight Banners soldiers were rushing towards Guangning Gate, Liu Mu knew that the city had already been breached. If they went to block the city gate, it would take a lot of time to attack the city, so it was better to go all in.

So Liu Mu led 800 Imperial Guards to directly attack Kangxi's central army, while the other Imperial Guards held them back, leaving the remaining 5,000 Eight Banners main force.

Seeing that the distance had been reduced to a hundred paces, Liu Mu, who had a science background, could not resist his thirst for knowledge. He stepped on the stirrups and stood up from the horse.

"Kang Mazi, I am truly curious whether you are Hong Chengchou's son. If you stop now, I will immediately go to Hong Chengchou's hometown, find the closest members of the Hong family, and have a blood test to prove your innocence!"

"I promise, I will never kill you with my own hands!"

"Shout it all at once!"

One hundred steps is about seventy meters. Liu Mu was afraid that Kangxi would not be able to hear him, so he had eight hundred imperial guards shout together.

The shouts of eight hundred strong men could be heard even inside Desheng Gate, and Kangxi's face immediately darkened.

Still guaranteeing?

Even if you swear by the Luo River, I won't believe you!

If they were caught, even being slowly sliced ​​to death would be easy!

Thinking of this, Kangxi felt a chill run down his spine and quickly cracked his whip to increase the horse's speed.

However, no matter how fast Kangxi increased his horse's speed, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and had already closed to within seventy paces.

Seeing this, the commander of the guards knew he couldn't escape. After sighing with his eyes closed, he drew his saber with a clang.

"Your Majesty, the Han army's warhorses are superior; they will only get closer and closer. Your servants will go and stop them!"

"Brothers, follow me back!"

After the commander of the guards finished speaking, without waiting for Kangxi's agreement, he immediately turned his horse around and led all the guards in a counterattack.

When Kangxi saw this, he was so anxious that he cursed. Everyone else left, leaving him to flee alone. This scene was so similar to what had happened two years ago.

Seeing the guards charging towards him, Liu Mu immediately gripped the saddle and flipped himself onto another warhorse. He then gave the order to Batel!

"Bater, equip my warhorse and go after Kangxi. If you fail to capture him this time, don't bother coming back!"

"This subordinate obeys the order!"

Upon hearing this, Batel immediately recalled the incident by the canal, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He immediately mounted Liu Mu's black dragon steed and chased after Kangxi.

This black horse is actually just an Akhal-Teke, but it seems to have been crossbred, making it even more enduring.

When the commander of the guards saw that Batel was going around, he immediately divided his troops into three to try to capture Batel. However, after only one round of fighting, Batel killed one of his men and left.

It's that big guy again! Don't come any closer!

While fleeing, Kangxi glanced back and realized it was the Han army that had chased him two years ago. He instinctively slashed his horse's rump and picked up speed again!

Batel's horsemanship was indeed much better than Liu Mu's. Under his control, the black horse ran faster than before and soon closed to Kangxi within thirty paces.

Kangxi's armor was highly defensive. This time, Batel didn't use a bow, but instead took out a new type of flintlock musket from his saddle, which was specially made for Liu Mu.

The gun barrels are all decorated with gilded dragon patterns.

May the ancestors of the Han Dynasty be blessed by the Eternal Heaven!

With a silent chant, Batel pulled the trigger!
