Qian Youjian was excited. It seemed like his diversion was effective.
"How's the discussion going?”
"I accept your challenge letter. Go back and tell your General Li Chengdong to wash his neck clean. Tomorrow, I will definitely take his head to comfort the souls of the dead soldiers and citizens of Great Ming!”
Qian Youjian cupped his fists and slowly left the carriage formation.
When he returned to the camp, he told Li Chengdong about the Ming army accepting the challenge.
Li Chengdong sneered.
"Leave 10,000 men behind. The remaining 30,000 will eat and drink to their fill. We will attack Zhaoqing City at night!”
The next day, Zhaoqing City.
Outside the city, 30,000 Green Camp soldiers were carrying a simple ladder that they had rushed to make and were in formation.
"Report, bad news! Slave Jian's Green Army soldiers were about to attack the city!”
King Gui was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.
"What is it? Did you see who the enemy's leader was?”
"Li Chengdong, there's a big Li character above Da Tao!”
Ding Kuichu was so frightened that his entire body was trembling.
"King Gui, let's run! General Pu and the others were doomed!”
Lyu Daqi flew into a rage, holding a long-handled podao in his hand.
"If anyone runs, I'll split them alive!”
The usually cowardly King Gui picked up his sword.
"This old man is also Great Ming's Gui Wang! His Majesty will arrive in Zhaoqing in seven days. I can't let him think that I'm a coward!”
Looking at how the Gui King had suddenly become a different person, Ding Kuichu was extremely depressed.
If you want to die, don't stop me from running away, right? Ding Kuichu muttered in his heart.
"Your Highness, what should we do?”，Commander Lu Da asked curiously.
The King of Gui hesitated.
"His Majesty is about to arrive. Let His Majesty, Slave Jian, and Slave Jian's dog servants see that our Ming Dynasty's King Gui is not a coward! He ordered 20,000 soldiers to follow this king and fight to the death with him!”
Lu Da was stunned and stared at King Gui.
"King Gui, how did you suddenly become so brave?”
"It's not bravery, it's for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Zhaoqing City not being slaughtered by Li Chengdong!”
Dong dong ~~~
The war drums of Zhaoqing City resounded through the clouds as the city gates slowly opened.
Li Chengdong laughed loudly.
"I'm right, right? The enemy will definitely surrender!"
The few commanders and thousand-man soldiers laughed out loud.
"General is wise. These princes are all cowards!”
The King of Gui was clad in armor and sat on his horse, leading his soldiers out of the city and into formation.
Li Chengdong was stunned. He watched as the Ming army came out and formed an offensive formation.
"Motherf * cker, didn't they say that the King of Gui was a coward? Is this the behavior of a coward?"
The commanders looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"General, let's fight! There's no way out!"
Li Chengdong gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack.
King Gui looked into the distance and saw a large group of enemies. He felt a little guilty.
The King of Gui turned around and looked at his soldiers, his voice trembling.
"Soldiers, it's rare for a man to fight for his life! Big Ming already had no way out. He would fight to the death with him! Attack!"
Li Chengdong watched the Ming army charge and scratched his head.
"These few days, ghosts have been trespassing! Why did the Ming army they encountered change so much?”
Dong dong ~~~
The shield soldiers collided with each other, and the soldiers raised their podaos and began to slash at each other.
The knives collided and sparks flew.
Although the Ming army's weapons were rusted, many soldiers saw that the King of Gui was holding a sword and could not care less about it. They directly pounced on it and began to bite it.
Many Green Army soldiers had their ears bitten off and half of their faces bitten off.
"General, the morale of the Ming army is high. They're completely crazy!”
Li Chengdong was also a little confused. Ever since he entered Zhaoqing Prefecture, the Ming army he had encountered was even more ferocious than the Ming army of the capital camp in the north.
"What the hell? Why is it that the Ming army seems to be on steroids after entering Zhaoqing Prefecture?”
The few commanders looked at each other. They racked their brains but could not understand.
"General, let's attack and fight to the death!”
Li Chengdong waved his hand, and the reserve team of 10,000 people slowly accelerated forward.
In the city, the 5,000 farmers who had stayed behind rushed out.
They held long-handled podaos in their hands, and their combat strength was much stronger than the soldiers of the King of Gui.
When the King of Gui was about to give in, 5,000 peasants joined the battle.
The situation instantly stabilized.
Li Chengdong was even more desperate and confused.
"Oh my God, why is this farmer even more powerful than the Ming army!”
Li Chengdong was going crazy. He was stunned by the actions of the supporting Peasants.
"General, this is too strange! The combat strength of these peasants was much stronger than the soldiers of the King of Gui!”
Li Chengdong and the commanders watched under the protection of 500 servants.
"General, should we send our last servants into battle?”
Seeing that the disadvantage was becoming more and more obvious, Li Chengdong sighed.
"We can't attack anymore! If we continue fighting, I won't have any soldiers. I won't have the capital to survive with Emperor Jianu!”
"General is right. In this era, with soldiers, we can survive on both sides!”，General Qian Youjian said.
Instantly, Li Chengdong seemed to be enlightened.
"Yes, I have soldiers. I can surrender to Slave Jian, but I can also surrender to the Ming army, right? Order the soldiers to stop attacking immediately!"
Li Chengdong rode his horse and headed toward the King of Gui.
"King Gui, I, Li Chengdong, am willing to lead the army to submit!”
King Gui reined in his horse and stood rooted to the ground.
"King Gui, Li Chengdong wants to surrender!" Lu Daqi was stunned.”
The King of Gui was a little stunned. He had not expected that after less than two hours, Li Chengdong would actually surrender?
"Lu Daqi, we have to ask His Majesty about this!”
"Yes, Embroidered Uniform Guards, immediately send a messenger pigeon to tell His Majesty that Li Chengdong is willing to surrender.”
The Jinyiwei sent a messenger pigeon. The King of Gui had no choice but to say,"General Li, please wait outside the city. We must get the emperor's permission!”
"Emperor? The whereabouts of Emperor Longwu were unknown. Who was the emperor of Ming Dynasty now?”
"Zhu Ci, the Crown Prince of Emperor Chongzhen!”
Li Chengdong was deeply shocked once again.
"Isn't the Crown Prince missing? How did he come to Zhaoqing Prefecture?"
"No, he's in the Leizhou Prefecture. He's currently on the march!”
