Chapter 568 The attack has reached this Mingdu!
Not long after Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan of Dali Kingdom, expressed his intention to form an alliance with the Ming emperor, another special envoy from another country arrived. This person was none other than the Golden Wheel Dharma King of Tibet!
The Golden Wheel Monk swaggered into the Fengtian Hall. Because he was a martial arts master, the Ming guards did not dare to obstruct him.
that's it.
The Golden Wheel Monk appeared directly in the main hall.
At this moment.
When the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty saw this scene, they were all taken aback!
Especially Cao Zhengchun!
Without a moment's hesitation, Cao Zhengchun rushed to the Ming emperor's side, shouting, "Protect the emperor!"
"Protect the emperor immediately!"
"Golden Wheel Dharma King, how dare you trespass into the imperial palace of my Ming Kingdom! What are your true intentions?!"
Cao Zhengchun naturally recognized the Golden Wheel Monk, so when the Golden Wheel Monk appeared in the Fengtian Hall, Cao Zhengchun was quite excited and nervous!
Simultaneously.
Cao Zhengchun immediately mobilized his internal energy, determined to fight the Golden Wheel Monk.
And this time.
The Golden Wheel Monk, on the contrary, bowed respectfully to the Ming emperor on the dragon throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
After the Golden Wheel Monk finished bowing, Zhu Houzhao said to Cao Zhengchun, "Eunuch Cao, you may leave."
"This Golden Wheel Monk will not harm me!"
Clearly, Zhu Houzhao had already guessed the purpose of the Golden Wheel Monk's visit at this moment, while Cao Zhengchun, who was standing to the side, was still somewhat uneasy after hearing what Zhu Houzhao said!
Cao Zhengchun then spoke up, saying, "Your Majesty, this Golden Wheel Monk has entered the Fengtian Hall without prior notice. He is definitely up to no good!"
"Your Majesty, please be careful!"
At this moment, the Golden Wheel Monk said directly, "Eunuch Cao, you have misunderstood me. I have come here to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty!"
"I wonder if your emperor would agree?"
After hearing what the Golden Wheel Monk said, Cao Zhengchun immediately turned his gaze to Zhu Houzhao. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao calmly said, "An alliance?"
"If I remember correctly, the Ming Dynasty has no business dealings with Tibet. I don't know why they want to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty?"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the Golden Wheel Monk did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Great Ming Empire has now successively defeated the Jin and Song kingdoms!"
"Moreover, martial arts experts from both the Jin and Song kingdoms were also killed by this legendary grandson of the Ming emperor!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Ming army is about to storm into your country's capital!"
Done.
The Golden Wheel Monk then turned his gaze to Zhu Houzhao, and the Ming emperor's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing these words.
Immediately, the Golden Wheel Dharma King said directly, "Tibet is also well aware that if your country is defeated by the Great Ming Empire, then the Great Ming Empire will definitely attack Tibet in the future!"
"Therefore, I have come hoping to establish an alliance with your country! I wonder if Your Majesty is willing?"
Clearly, the Golden Wheel Dharma King had made the situation perfectly clear.
Although Zhu Houzhao had always been wary of Tibet, he was also well aware that the Ming Dynasty had no way out now.
and.
Currently, it seems that the biggest rival of the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Empire itself, not Tibet!
Therefore, the Ming emperor did not think too much about it and said directly, "Since your country wants to form an alliance with me, then I naturally agree!"
"However, I wonder if your country can provide military assistance?"
As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the Golden Wheel Monk did not hesitate. He confidently replied, "Of course!"
"Just as I arrived, Tibet had already dispatched an army of 50,000 to enter the territory of the Ming Empire!"
"And it was led by Kumārajīva himself!"
Obviously.
As soon as the Golden Wheel Monk finished speaking, all the Ming officials in the Fengtian Hall were shocked.
Especially this Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi!
He never expected that this tiny Tibet would dare to directly attack the Ming Empire!
"Are you crazy?"
"You think you can attack the Ming Empire with only 50,000 troops? Aren't you afraid of the Ming emperor's revenge?"
Zhu Wushi questioned the Golden Wheel Monk with a puzzled expression.
Upon seeing this, the latter glanced at Zhu Wushi with disdain, and then the Golden Wheel Dharma King spoke eloquently: "Although there are only 50,000 Tibetan troops, these 50,000 Tibetan troops are all their elites!"
"With Kumārajīva leading the army, they can certainly inflict heavy damage on the Ming Empire!"
"Moreover, if I am not mistaken, the entire focus of the Ming Empire is currently on attacking your country. At this time, a surprise attack on the capital of the Ming Empire will naturally achieve a result of taking the enemy by surprise!"
On the dragon throne.
Zhu Houzhao was naturally overjoyed after hearing what the Golden Wheel Monk said!
Zhu Houzhao exclaimed repeatedly, "Excellent! Excellent! To this day, no country has dared to launch an attack on the Great Ming Empire."
"Now that Tibet has set a precedent, I believe that we will surely win this battle."
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he simply stepped down from the dragon throne.
He slowly approached the Golden Wheel Dharma King, patted the latter on the shoulder, and said, "If this Tibetan attack is truly successful, I will naturally not be stingy!"
The Golden Wheel Monk smiled and said, "Actually, as far as Tibet is concerned, we don't want any reward. I just can't stand the Ming Empire."
"How dare this tiny Ming Empire be so arrogant? They simply don't take us seriously. Now that Tibet and the Ming have formed an alliance, they will surely be able to severely damage this Ming Empire."
It is clear that the Golden Wheel Monk is not yet aware of just how terrifying the power of the Ming Empire is.
They were also unaware that Zhu Ying had already broken through to the Qi Refining Realm.
Therefore, the Golden Wheel Monk had an overly idealistic longing for an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.
Little did they know that at that time, Tibet was completely throwing eggs against rocks.
at the same time,
Northern part of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying was piloting the Pteranodon, observing the current battle situation.
The three armies of the Ming Empire are now winning one victory after another with overwhelming force.
The Ming army was completely incapable of resisting.
Wherever the Ming Empire's army went, Ming soldiers would surely flee in panic.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty's army did not indiscriminately kill innocent people.
They even carried out some basic infrastructure construction in the cities they had already conquered.
Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty actually had a very favorable impression of the Ming Empire's army.
Just then, Liu Lei, the commander of Wang Wei, appeared in front of Zhu Ying in a Pteranodon.
Liu Lei hurriedly said to Zhu Ying, "Your Highness, the latest battle report is that the Tibetans have launched an attack."
To be honest, when Zhu Ying heard the news that Tibet had sent troops, he was initially surprised, but soon a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
"Tibet has sent troops? Hmph! You mean Tibet has sent troops to attack the Ming Empire?" Zhu Ying asked Liu Lei with a serious expression.
The latter dared not hesitate and immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness, that is correct."
"According to the latest news, the Tibetan king Kumārajīva personally led 5 elite troops into the territory of the Ming Empire."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying remained expressionless, for he knew perfectly well that the 5 elite Tibetan troops were simply throwing their lives away. "Immediately order Xu Huizu to lead the main force to resist them. We must teach these Tibetans a lesson they won't forget."
"Your subordinate obeys." Liu Lei, the commander of the Tiger Guard Army, quickly replied.
Afterwards, Zhu Ying used his inner energy to shout to the Ming Empire army below: "The entire army must advance at full speed and be sure to reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty by tomorrow."
Soon, Zhu Ying's words reached the ears of every soldier, and the Ming Empire's army began to advance at an accelerated pace.
…………
At this moment, within the capital city of the Great Ming Empire.
Zhu Yuanzhang also received battle reports from the front lines.
A member of the Imperial Guard said in a slightly flustered tone, "Your Majesty, the western side of Songzhou has been invaded by Tibetan troops."
"What? The Tibetan army has invaded?" Zhu Yuanzhang was also somewhat shocked upon hearing this. He shared the same thought as Zhu Ying: he never imagined that the small Tibetan Empire would dare to attack the Ming Dynasty.
The Tibetans are practically courting death.
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Does Xiong Ying know about this?"
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has learned of this and has already dispatched General Xu Huizu to lead troops to resist."
Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was standing to the side, said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, since Xiong Ying has sent Xu Huizu to fight, the Tibetan attack will surely end in failure."
"Please do not worry, Father."
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold tone, "I have never been worried about the Tibetan army. What angers me is that a small country like Tibet dares to attack our Great Ming Empire."
"That's practically suicide."
"Immediately inform Xu Huizu that the entire Tibetan army must be annihilated. Furthermore, launch a direct attack on Tibet. We must make these Tibetans understand the consequences of opposing the Ming Empire."
"Yes, sir," the member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard replied immediately.
One day later,
In the western part of Songzhou in the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Huizu led an army of 10,000 men and charged into the face of the Tibetan army.
At this moment, Kumārajīva, the king of Tibet, remained completely calm upon seeing the arrival of the Ming Dynasty's army.
Kumārajīva roared at the top of his lungs at the Ming Empire's army, "Withdraw immediately!"
"If you dare to fight against my Tubo, you will all die without a burial place!"
Kumārajīva was so confident mainly because he was a top-notch master.
Basically, Kumārajīva's strength has reached the level of a grandmaster.
Therefore, when he saw that the Ming Dynasty army that had come did not have any martial arts experts, it gave Kumārajīva a little confidence.
Little did he know that it wouldn't be long before Kumārajīva would fall into despair.
Upon hearing Kumārajīva's words, Xu Huizu, a general of the Ming Dynasty, couldn't help but let out a slight sneer.
This monk is utterly ignorant of his own limitations.
"All troops, listen up! Red-coated cannons, prepare!"
As soon as Xu Huizu finished speaking, the Ming Dynasty's army pulled out their red cannons and aimed them at the Tibetan army.
"emission!"
At Xu Huizu's command, hundreds of red-coated cannons immediately fired their shells.
In an instant, the sky was filled with the sound of cannons firing.
"Bang bang bang!"
The cannonballs fired by the red-coated cannons were extremely destructive and had a very long range, throwing the entire Tibetan army into chaos.
Large numbers of Tibetan soldiers were reduced to ashes by cannonballs fired from the red-clothed cannons.
Upon seeing this, Kumārajīva panicked.
"How is this possible?"
"How could the Ming Empire possess such powerful firearms?"
Kumārajīva's face visibly showed panic.
He did not hesitate at all
Immediately, he charged directly in front of the Ming Dynasty army, attempting to inflict casualties on them using his own internal energy.
Unfortunately, by this time, the soldiers of the Ming Empire had already been equipped with various submachine guns.
As Kumārajīva charged forward, the soldiers immediately pulled the triggers, and several bullets were fired directly at him.
In that split second, Kumārajīva's mentality completely collapsed; he could feel how terrifying the bullet's destructive power was.
Therefore, Kumārajīva immediately mobilized his internal energy in an attempt to block the impact of the bullet.
But he was still too slow.
In an instant, several bullets struck his body, and Kumārajīva fell to the ground.
Although Kumārajīva was a master-level expert, he was still powerless against advanced weaponry.
But the strength of the Ming Empire was far more than that.
Suddenly, a series of hissing and roaring sounds came from not far away.
The dinosaur army of the Ming Dynasty has arrived.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex army directly overwhelmed the entire Tibetan army, and countless Tibetan soldiers were bitten to death by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Seeing this, Kumārajīva knew that the situation was hopeless, so he quickly ordered his troops to retreat.
But at that moment, hundreds of cannonballs from the Red Cannons crashed into the Tibetan army.
"Bang bang bang!"
even,
Even Kumārajīva himself was hit by a cannonball.
In less than half an incense stick's time, the Tibetan army had been completely reduced to a pack of stray dogs.
Even Kumārajīva, the king of Tibet, could only flee in panic.
……
Meanwhile, fifty miles outside the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The army of the Ming Empire, led by Lan Yu, Guo Zhen, Mu Ying and others, is advancing at full speed with lightning speed.
Inside the palace.
When Zhu Houzhao learned that the Ming Empire's army was about to arrive, he was terrified.
Zhu Houzhao originally thought that the army of the Ming Empire would arrive in the capital at least two days later.
But now, the three armies of the Ming Empire are about to arrive at the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
This undoubtedly unsettled Zhu Houzhao.
In desperation, Zhu Houzhao immediately dispatched Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, to lead the experts of the Dragon Guard Manor to meet the enemy.
Although Zhu Wushi received the imperial decree, he did not personally go out to fight, but instead sent the disciples of the Dragon Guard Manor to resist.
The result can be imagined.
All the disciples of the Dragon Guard Manor were killed by the army of the Ming Dynasty.
No one survived. (End of Chapter)
