Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 590 Bombarding Dongyi City

"Danger!"

Zhu Ying suddenly shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang.

As a master of the Gangqi Realm, Zhu Ying instantly sensed the arrival of the Dongyi City army.

Immediately.

Liu Lei, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, did not hesitate and immediately stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. At the same time, Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guard, led his army and prepared to fight.

Meanwhile.

The mighty army of Dongyi City appeared before Zhu Ying and his men.

"Who...who are you?"

"Why are you here on the territory of my Dongyi City!"

The leading general of Dongyi City questioned him in a solemn tone, and at this moment, Zhu Ying slowly walked up to the general.

"Just a ninth-rank expert."

"negligible."

Done.

Zhu Ying then used his inner energy to directly attack the general of Dongyi City. The latter was caught off guard and was instantly killed by Zhu Ying!

The soldiers behind him panicked when they saw this.

moment.

The soldiers scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

"Guo Zhen!"

"Kill them!"

"Don't let these soldiers run back to Dongyi City to report the news."

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, immediately accepted the order. The next second, Guo Zhen led thousands of Imperial Guards to completely surround the soldiers of Dongyi City!

What followed was a battle of annihilation.

In less than half an hour.

All the soldiers of Dongyi City were killed.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Ying with a sigh, "Xiong Ying, it seems that the strength of Dongyi City is nothing more than this."

"These soldiers are simply not up to the task."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence, Zhu Ying poured cold water on him, saying calmly, "Grandfather, Dongyi City is not a country after all."

"According to Xiong Ying's understanding, there are only about 10,000 troops in Dongyi City. However, the city lord of Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian, is extremely powerful."

"He is a powerful expert in the Qi Refining Realm."

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard Zhu Ying's answer. There was no doubt that he had never expected Dongyi City to be so powerful.

"A Qi Refining Realm expert?"

"So, the city lord of Dongyi City is just as powerful as Xiong Ying?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, seemingly unable to believe it.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly and said, "Yes, their cultivation levels should be similar, but as for who is stronger in terms of actual strength, that remains to be seen."

"U.A., what's your plan?"

"Should we attack Dongyi City directly?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

At this moment, Zhu Ying replied with a firm gaze, "Of course."

"Dongyi City is the weakest force in the world of Joy of Life. If we cannot defeat Dongyi City, then our Great Ming will have no chance to unify the world of Joy of Life."

"Therefore, we must capture Dongyi City this time, no matter what."

As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, he immediately issued a formal order.

"Guo Zhen!"

"I now command you to lead your army to attack Dongyi City!"

"We must conquer this Dongyi City!"

Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, had been itching for action for a long time. He immediately cupped his hands to Zhu Ying and said, "This subordinate obeys!"

Immediately.

Following Zhu Ying's orders, Guo Zhen personally led 20,000 imperial guards in a grand procession toward Dongyi City.

……

Not long after.

Inside the city lord's mansion in Dongyi City.

As the strongest martial arts master in Dongyi City and the city lord of Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian is currently in seclusion in his mansion.

just.

He suddenly felt a ruthless and powerful aura descend upon him.

In an instant.

Si Gu Jian quickly opened his eyes, ending his meditation.

"shadow!"

Si Gu Jian shouted, and instantly, a man suddenly appeared in front of him.

And the man's name is Shadow.

He is also Si Gu Jian's younger brother.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why do you look so flustered?" Shadow asked immediately after arriving in front of Si Gu Jian.

"Dongyi City is in danger."

Si Gu Jian said in a trembling voice, "I just sensed a powerful aura appearing near Dongyi City."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it must be an invasion by alien races!"

Like Zhu Ying, Si Gu Jian was a powerful expert in the Gang Qi Realm, so he could naturally sense the powerful true energy released by the [Spatial Portal].

It's worth mentioning that although Si Gu Jian is a Grandmaster in the martial arts system of the Joy of Life world, he would be called a Qi Refining Realm expert according to the martial arts system of the main world.

As expected, right after Si Gu Jian finished speaking, his eldest disciple Yun Zhi Lan rushed into the city lord's mansion in a panic!

"Report!"

"Master, a large army has appeared outside Dongyi City!"

"Now, these troops are about to arrive at the gates of my Dongyi City!"

As soon as the eldest disciple Yun Zhilan finished speaking, Yingzi lost her composure.

Shadow looked at Si Gu Jian with a tense expression and said, "Brother, what is going on? Dongyi City has no enemies, so why are so many troops attacking Dongyi City?"

As for Shadow, he had no idea why Dongyi City would be attacked.

After all, in his eyes, Dongyi City had never interfered in the war between Qing and Northern Qi.

At this moment, Si Gu Jian, the city lord of Dongyi City, replied with a serious expression: "Since they have come, let's fight. Since someone wants to attack my Dongyi City, then my Dongyi City will meet them in battle."

To be fair, Si Gu Jian was quite confident in the strength of Dongyi City.

After all, besides being a master of the Qi Refining Realm, his younger brother Shadow's strength had also reached the Grandmaster Realm, and his disciples were also extraordinary.

Although the garrison in Dongyi City is not large, there are plenty of martial arts masters!

"Yun Zhilan, lead your fellow disciples to meet the enemy. You must defeat them!"

As Si Gu Jian finished speaking, Yun Zhilan, as the eldest disciple, quickly accepted the order.

……

Meanwhile, outside Dongyi City, Guo Zhen had already led his large army to the city walls.

Guo Zhen shouted at the top of his lungs towards the Dongyi City garrison on the city wall: "Surrender now! If you surrender now, I will spare your lives."

"If you dare to fight against this general, you will be killed without mercy!"

And on the city wall.

The garrison of Dongyi City naturally chose to ignore Guo Zhen's words.

Immediately.

The soldiers guarding the city immediately picked up their bows and arrows and launched an attack on the Imperial Guards without saying a word.

"Brush! Brush! Brush!"

In the blink of an eye, countless arrows flew from the sky above the city walls to the front of the Imperial Guards.

However, every soldier in the Imperial Guard remained remarkably calm, making no attempt to hide. The reason was simple: all the Imperial Guard soldiers were equipped with the finest armor.

These armors are made of special materials and can even withstand bullet damage, making them virtually impervious to blades and bullets.

Therefore, these arrows naturally could not cause any impact on the armor.

really!

The arrows bounced off the armor of the guardsmen as soon as they struck it.

No Imperial Guard soldiers were injured in this battle.

And on the city wall of this eastern city.

The soldiers guarding the city were at a loss when they saw this.

"How is this possible! Their armor can actually withstand the damage from arrows?"

"Yes, who are these people? How can they possess such formidable armor?"

"These soldiers don't seem to be from the Qing Kingdom. Could they be from the Northern Qi?"

“They are definitely not soldiers from Northern Qi! Didn’t you see? Their commander’s banner has the character ‘Ming’ on it.”

"Ming? Is there a Ming Dynasty in our world? I've never heard of it before."

Perhaps it was the sheer shock these suits of armor brought to the defenders of Dongyi City that caused everyone to start discussing the matter.

And at this very moment.

Yun Zhilan, who had just come from the city lord's mansion, also arrived at the city wall.

Behind him followed twelve disciples of Si Gu Jian. Yun Zhilan, the eldest disciple, stood on the city wall and shouted at the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards: "Who are you! My Dongyi City has always sought self-preservation and has never had any business dealings with other countries."

Why are you attacking my Dongyi City today?

As for Yun Zhilan, he did not immediately engage in combat with the Ming Dynasty Imperial Guards, but instead wanted to inquire about their identities first.

After all, Yun Zhilan needs to know at least who her opponent is.

At this moment, Guo Zhen shouted in a loud voice, "Listen up, all of you! I have been ordered by the grandson of the Ming emperor to come and conquer Dongyi City."

"If you do not wish to be massacred, open the city gates and surrender immediately. In that case, the Ming Empire may spare your lives."

Guo Zhen did not hide his identity and even revealed Zhu Ying's name.

Unfortunately, the people on the city wall knew nothing about the Ming Dynasty or Zhu Ying.

Of course, this is a normal phenomenon.

After all, the Ming Dynasty doesn't exist in the world of Joy of Life.

"Da Ming? I've never heard of this country before! Could it be from the Western Hu?" The third disciple asked Yun Zhilan, "Senior Brother, have you ever heard of this Da Ming?"

Yun Zhilan shook his head and replied with a solemn expression, "I've never heard of it."

"What does Master mean?" the fourth disciple asked Yun Zhilan again.

"Master's meaning is very clear: whoever comes to invade, we must repel them."

"Since these arrows are useless against them, let these guys experience the power of the Four-Sided Sword Technique."

"Twelfth brother, you go first."

Yun Zhilan directly named his twelfth junior brother to go and fight.

The twelfth junior brother's cultivation level is the weakest. Judging from the realm of Qing Yu Nian, he is only a fifth-rank master.

A fifth-rank expert is basically equivalent to the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.

Therefore, relying solely on these twelfth junior brother, it was impossible to defeat the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty.

However, at that time, Yun Zhilan was unaware of the true strength of the Ming Empire.

soon.

The twelve disciples, swords in hand, leaped from the city tower to the ground below.

The twelfth junior brother stood alone in front of Guo Zhen, holding a sharp sword.

"go to hell!"

The next second, the twelfth junior brother didn't waste any words and directly drew his sword to kill Guo Zhen.

However, Guo Zhen's current martial arts cultivation is also at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.

Therefore, Guo Zhen easily dodged the attack from the twelfth junior brother.

The two immediately exchanged dozens of blows, but still could not gain the upper hand.

On this city tower.

Yun Zhilan had been observing the fight between the two.

Soon, Yun Zhilan also gained an understanding of Guo Zhen's strength.

"A mere fifth-rank expert dares to attack my Dongyi City."

"They're practically asking for it!"

As soon as Yun Zhilan finished speaking, he glanced at his tenth and eleventh junior brothers beside him.

"You two go too! You must annihilate all these invading enemies."

And so, the tenth and eleventh junior brothers also took up their swords and charged towards Guo Town.

In an instant, Guo Zhen was fighting three opponents alone.

To be honest, Guo Zhen was not a martial arts master in the traditional sense; he was more of a general.

Compared to his martial arts prowess, his greatest strength lies in leading troops.

Therefore, when three fifth-rank masters fought against Guo Zhen at the same time, Guo Zhen suffered repeated defeats.

"Charge them!"

Seeing that he was no match for the three martial arts masters, Guo Zhen immediately shouted, and in an instant, the 20,000 Tiger Guards rushed to Guo Zhen's front.

In an instant, these three martial arts masters were surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

Although they also used the Four Directions Sword Technique, the Imperial Guards were wearing top-quality armor and were numerous.

Therefore, the three of them were completely unable to withstand the onslaught of the Imperial Guards.

Before long, all three disciples of Si Gu Jian were seriously injured and were basically on the verge of death.

Upon seeing this scene atop the city wall, Yun Zhilan also panicked.

He never expected that the Ming Dynasty's army would be so powerful.

But Yun Zhilan was not intimidated at all.

He turned to his third and fourth junior brothers and said, "Hurry up and make your move. Show your true strength and put up a fight."

"There is absolutely no way that Dongyi City could be conquered by these foreigners."

Soon, the third, fourth, and even fifth junior brothers also leaped down from the city wall and charged into the front of the Imperial Guards.

At this moment, the two sides were locked in a fierce and intense battle.

Many Imperial Guard soldiers died here, and many others were left disabled.

Gradually, Yun Zhilan also became restless.

He could tell that the tens of thousands of troops below the city were extremely powerful, and each of them cooperated perfectly. Judging from his junior brother's strength, it would be impossible for him to withstand the enemy's attack.

As it turns out, Yun Zhilan's guess was correct.

Just an hour later, the fourth, fifth, and third junior brothers were all seriously injured.

……

It is no exaggeration to say that these few people were no match for the charge of tens of thousands of Imperial Guards.

"Red-coated cannons, prepare!"

"Attack the city directly!"

At this moment, Guo Zhen, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, did not want to waste any more words with the garrison of Dongyi City.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to bring out the red-coated cannons.

"emission!"

At Guo Zhen's command, hundreds of red-coated cannons began to bombard Dongyi City.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" (End of Chapter)
