Then the army slowly retreated to the Great Golden Gate.
Xiaoling Mausoleum is surrounded by city walls.
Zhu Guobi did not bring any siege equipment, so the only way to enter the Xiaoling Mausoleum was to attack from the Dajin Gate.
Seeing that the Golden Gate was about to close, Zhu Guobi suddenly became anxious.
He ignored the officials and their families who had not yet evacuated and ordered loudly: "Kill them and bring the prince back!"
At his command, the soldiers in the front row rushed forward howling.
Upon seeing this, Mei Chun simply opened the Great Golden Gate and lined up his troops inside the doorway.
As soon as the formation was formed, Zhu Guobi's men attacked.

Zhu Guobi was unable to take advantage of his military strength.

Soldiers holding blunt weapons smashed the iron helmets on each other's heads.
The two sides engaged in close combat.

Zhang Rong said without even looking up: "I'm afraid not."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want him to die."
"Hmm?" Zhu Cilang didn't understand what this meant. He asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Rong knelt down and kowtowed: "I have received the imperial decree to rescue your highness's family from Nanjing, change their names and surnames, and find a quiet place to live an ordinary life. I will serve your highness for the rest of my life."
"If Ni Yuanlu gets to know something, I will have no choice but to kill him to keep the secret."
