Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

The assassins had not only strong bows and crossbows, but also muskets.

Zhu Xuan was very surprised, and what was even more surprising was that someone wanted to assassinate him.

He is just a Prince Wei in Pyongyang. His status is quite high, but it is nothing. Pyongyang is a remote and poor place for the Ming Dynasty. Why would someone come to assassinate him?
"Is it the White Lotus Sect or the Koreans?"

The two groups flashed quickly through Zhu Yunhuan's mind, but the reality was critical and he didn't have the chance to think too much. He just saw Chang Ting picked up another table and placed it between Zhu Yunhuan and himself.

"Your Highness, leave quickly!"

"Someone, fire the flare!"

"go!"

Chang Ting shouted loudly, and the table in his hand was quickly pierced by the arrow tip and hit by the bullets from the musket.

Fortunately, the table was hard enough, and both the bullets and arrows were only embedded in it without directly penetrating and hitting Zhu Yunhuan.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yunhuan was also shocked. Except for the previous incident of being poisoned, he had not been so close to death for a long time. If Chang Ting had not reacted quickly enough, he would have died long ago.

The other guards of Prince Wei's Palace finally dodged the rain of arrows and walked over immediately, but as soon as they approached, the muskets opened fire at them, and the guards were immediately thrown into a panic. They had lived in Pyongyang for too long and had little experience of fighting. The Jurchens and others were all very well behaved, leaving them no chance for actual combat, and there was chaos for a while.

The assassins led by the bun seller were obviously well prepared. Before taking action, they must have deduced all the possibilities of the assassination, so they were able to gain the advantage in an instant.

Seeing the assassination on the long street, other citizens of Pyongyang also became chaotic and walked around everywhere. At the same time, some people were unfortunately hit by stray arrows and fell to the ground.

It can be as chaotic as it wants now.

Uh...

Finally, one of the guards found a good opportunity, drew his bow and shot a whistling arrow into the sky. The sharp sound was so piercing that it drowned out all the noisy sounds on the street.

The penetrating power of this flare is extremely strong.

Hearing the sound of the arrow, the bun seller's face changed. He didn't expect the guards of Prince Wei's mansion to act so quickly. He shouted, "Everyone come out, kill Zhu Yunhuan first, concentrate all your strength to kill him!"

When the soldiers of King Wei besiege the city and attack them later, they may not be able to do anything. Before the soldiers arrive, this is their last chance to kill Zhu Yunhuan.

No one knew where these assassins came from, but they had arranged for a lot of people to come. After receiving the order from the man selling buns, dozens of people walked out from the long street and rushed straight towards Zhu Yunhuan.

They appeared extremely quickly and with fierce tactics, using long-range weapons to attack, either powerful bows and crossbows or muskets.

Although the power of the musket is not particularly strong and its accuracy is not very good, the sound is very loud and has a special deterrent effect. When a normal person hears the sound of a musket, the first thing he thinks of is to hide behind cover or look for cover everywhere.

Of course, the same goes for gunshots.

However, the guards of Prince Wei's mansion were suddenly attacked and thrown into disarray. The assassins divided into two groups, one group delayed the guards of Prince Wei's mansion and provided cover for the bun sellers.

The man selling buns led another group of assassins to continue hunting down Zhu Yunhuan.

It's not that the guards are helpless, but they are not many in number. Now there are only about ten of them. When they go out for an incognito patrol, they naturally cannot carry rifles, so they all use pistols.

Keep shooting and fight back against those assassins.

Some assassins were also pulled closer and engaged in close combat with the guards of Prince Wei's Mansion. The scene was extremely chaotic.

Finally, all the wandering civilians left, and what followed was a continuous gunfight with arrows flying everywhere.

"All guards, come here." Zhu Yunhuan now arrived at the door of an inn. There was a pillar here. He hid behind the pillar to avoid bullets and flying arrows.

After hearing this, the remaining dozen or so guards of the Prince of Yan's Mansion were about to gather towards Zhu Yunhuan, but the enemy's firepower was very strong.

It is troublesome to change the bullets of muskets. The firepower of assassins does not necessarily come from muskets, but can also come from powerful bows and crossbows.

The guards were suppressed and could not keep up for the time being, and the scene became even more chaotic. Other assassins rushed towards Zhu Yunhuan one after another, and the situation became more and more critical.

"Everyone come here!"

Chang Ting remembered that he had two grenades on him, which he originally brought for self-defense. He didn't expect that he could actually use them. He pulled the safety of the grenades and threw them directly at the assassin.

"No, flash!"

The man selling buns shouted loudly and dodged to both sides. Then the explosion occurred, killing many people.

Seeing this, the other guards found an opportunity and quickly went over to meet Zhu Yunhuan.

"Go in and wait for support!"

Zhu Yunhuan walked into the inn first.

At this time, of course, all the people in the inn were so scared that they left, and the floor was a mess. In fact, the inn was a mess inside and out.

The noise here was so loud and their flares were shot out. When the soldiers of Wei Fan heard the noise and knew what was going on here, they would definitely come to rescue people.

There is almost no possibility of breaking out now. Since the assassins outside are coming to assassinate him, they will definitely not give Zhu Yunhuan a chance to break out, so he must make comprehensive preparations.

If it weren’t for Chang Ting’s quick reaction, Zhu Yunhuan knew that the bun he had just eaten would be enough to kill him.

The fact that things had gotten to this point was probably their final plan, to fight to the death and die together, in order to complete their plan of killing Zhu Yunhuan.

These were Zhu Yunhuan’s brief speculations in his mind.

They all arrived at the inn, and Chang Ting shouted, "Move the tables here over here and block the outside!"

The remaining guards acted quickly, they had to do so, otherwise not only Zhu Xuan would die, but they would not be able to survive either. The table had just been brought up to block the doors and windows when the arrows and crossbows from outside hit the table, making a loud noise.

If we were a step slower, some of the guards might have been shot.

"How many bullets do you have left?"

Zhu Yunhuan also took out a pistol that he carried with him.

They took out their own magazines and basically had two magazines left to use.

Zhu Yunhuan added: "It should be enough to delay the time. Find a good position and prepare. When you see the enemy approaching, suppress them and delay the battle as long as possible."

Fortunately, this inn is big enough, and there are enough tables and chairs inside. All of them can be moved up to serve as cover. The assassin's strong bows, crossbows and muskets may not be able to penetrate the tables and chairs, so they can delay for a while.

There is no need to delay too long. As long as they delay for a while, Wei Fan’s guards will be able to catch up quickly and they will be saved.

Persistence means victory!
Zhu Yunhuan was the first to go over to defend. He saw an enemy approaching and fired a shot. The enemy was shot in the chest and fell down.
The other guards of the Prince Wei's Palace, as well as Chang Ting, immediately followed and continued to delay time. (End of this chapter)
