My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 267 The Battle of Jinling 8
After hearing the many harsh conditions put forward by Zhu Houcong, I was originally unwilling to rashly deal with the man in front of me who was said to be cruel and bellicose. Once he came to power, he imprisoned the Zhang family without hesitation, resolutely broke with the Hai clan, and expropriated the chieftains of the southwest, forcing the small villagers in the southwest to rebel. The emperor really turned his back.

After his commander-in-chief personally defeated the Luchuan Homesick Rebels, he went on a massacre in the southwest. All the chieftains who participated in the rebellion annihilated the three tribes, and escorted all the local residents to various places across the country for resettlement. They were locked in chains along the way. He was guarded by soldiers, and he was suffering from lack of food and clothing.

The southwest has just been pacified, but regardless of the power of the people, he raised his troops to march eastward... Judging from various signs, this man is astonishingly talented and has a profound knowledge of the true biography of Ming Taizu. He can drive away ghosts and gods with a young man, but he is cruel and easy to kill, even for those who work for him. Officials and generals are not tolerant at all, and they are really not easy to get along with...

The Sea Dragon King thought of this and replied angrily.

But inside, it was already on alert.

It looked directly at the terrifying Holy Lord above its head with its huge eyes with a diameter of more than 20 meters.

Zhu Houcong in front of him didn't seem surprised by his answer.

The young man raised his sword high, and the bloodthirsty red light shot straight into the sky along with the billowing flames.

Is this your answer?

And the Sea Dragon King was also not to be outdone and spewed out a column of water that reached the sky.

The confrontation is over, and the real war between the two has begun.

After the Yangtze River below me, the Ming army on the nine sides of the river in the north carried out what can be described as a one-sided massacre of the sharks in the river.

The Beijing Army and the Forbidden Army on the south bank of the river formed a large gathering of soldiers, accompanied by the sound of loud gongs coming from the upper reaches.

At the same time, it also advanced towards the river on the north bank.

At this time, under Jinling City, on both sides of the river.

The light of armor reflects the sun, and the swords are like forests.

The sound of beating drums shaking heaven and earth.

The shark's plundered corpse fell into the water, causing waves of white waves.

The river water splashed onto the armor, and the evil energy condensed into white frost.

The two armies were fighting, and the Ming army was arrayed along the coast. Countless cannonballs above their heads were mixed with flames, and fell into the river in front of them. The flesh and blood limbs of the sharks were lifted up by the roaring sound of the cannonballs.

If you want to rush ashore, firstly, the Ming army is densely armed with weapons, and secondly, the Forbidden Army and the selected warriors under Jiubian Guiyong are already ready.

Even those sea beasts that were more than ten meters high were unable to break through the iron human wall in front of them. They could only drag the corpses of their companions back from the shore into the rolling river.

If there is a larger one that can ignore the Ming army's artillery fire and rush to the shore, it will be attacked and killed by sea beasts that are invincible to the ordinary imperial army.

Then Zhu Changning would control the chariot to stop her erratic behavior of patrolling the Yangtze River. In response to the calls of the Qin Tian Jian and the Ministry of Rites, the light of green wood fell from the sky, turning the giants who tried to break through the Ming army's array into piles of sawdust.

At this time, compared to the tragic battle in Dengzhou, where many ocean lords were lost, Chen Li and many ocean lords had already turned into souls killed by Zhu Houcong's sword in Jinling.

Through a series of changes, the Ming army regained its combat effectiveness, including the nine-sided military formation, the newly tamed world tyrants and Qin Tianjian, the Forbidden Army, and the large number of firearms provided by the Ministry of Industry that resumed operations.

The strength is far from what it was when they first conquered the southwest.

The Hai Clan, in front of the Ming army that had re-armed, internally purged, and united sincerely, except for the Sea Dragon King who was confronting Zhu Houcong not far away, could no longer be regarded as an opponent worthy of a life-and-death fight.

Nowadays, the Ming army has raised millions of troops, and all the best soldiers from the north and the south have gathered in Jinling. It is for the success of this battle to establish a foundation for future generations.

"end!"

As the swords clashed, the iron armor was accompanied by the cold light of the scales.

The soldier of the Sixth Guards of the Fu Army, who was acting as the front spear, raised his head and wiped the splattered shark blood on his face.

This liquid was enough to make ordinary people's corpses look like ordinary sea blood in front of these emperor's soldiers.These heavily armored soldiers stood on the mountain of corpses, covered in blood, holding halberds in their hands, and heavily pushed the corpse of the sea beast in front of them that was several times their own size into the river.

As the corpse in front of him fell into the water, huge river waves were splashed.

Following the roar of the river, the soldiers waved their spears. After a hearty battle, or a one-sided massacre, Yangtian let out an excited war roar like a tiger's roar.

And this voice seems to have some kind of magic power, spreading from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

The roars of tigers one after another frightened the enemy, but it also made the eyes of the surrounding Ming soldiers red, their hearts beating violently in their chests, their blood all over their bodies unbearably hot, and their excitement inexplicable.

Even the warriors on the north bank of the river heard the roar of the Forbidden Army coming from across the river.

At the same time, war cries such as "Fierce battle", "Ten thousand victories" and "Send your head" were heard to show your loyalty and bravery.

The trend is over!

Accompanied by the rumble of cannons from the Shenji Battalion on the south bank.

Cannonballs fell into the water like meteors, splashing waves one after another.

The Ming troops on both sides of the river shouted loudly, and the sharks were completely driven into the river.

And the artillery fire overhead kept coming.

It seems that there is only one path in front of these sharks.

Going down the river, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet arrived, they fled into the deep sea and fled for their lives, waiting for the opportunity to come back!
However, as the shark priests watched in pain, the river was filled with shark corpses, and the broken limbs of the corpses were flowing eastward with the river.

Looking at the Lord of the Sea Clan above him who was confronting the Emperor Ming, he was hesitant as to whether he should let the sharks retreat first.

The crisp sound of the gong coming from upstream became increasingly clear.

When the shark priests raised their heads and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

Then I saw in the distance, dozens of buildings and boats going down the river.

The flag is flying on the bow of the ship, which rides the wind for several miles. It has a collision horn in the front and a number of cannons on both sides.

There was an endless stream of boats, big and small, going down the river. There were as many as a thousand boats.

And there are many people on it who are skilled in water warfare.

The hull of the ship is yellow with five teeth on the front. The Ming army called it Huanglong.

"Lord Peng! I heard that the Sui Dynasty destroyed Nanchen and unified the world, so they covered it up at night. Yang Su personally led thousands of Huanglong ships and sailed down with coins in their titles. He sent the king of Kaifu to attack and led the infantry to attack from the south bank... advanced by water and destroyed the south. The small imperial court. At this moment, just like that moment, we are riding down the river together in a boat, driving towards Jianye and making immortal contributions to the emperor. Now look at the prosperity of our Ming navy! I don’t know how to compare it to Yang Su’s command in the Sui Dynasty. How about the sailors?”

On the bow of the ship, standing next to Peng Ze, the Minister of War, who was ordered to welcome the sailors coming down the river to support them, stood a middle-aged man.

He has a long beard and a pair of beautiful eyes. He is holding his armor and holding an army. He is standing on the river, looking into the river under the Jinling City where a fierce battle is taking place not far away.

He constantly urged his soldiers to advance quickly.

Chase down the remnant bandits and perform meritorious service in front of the emperor.

I heard the words of the Minister next to me, Wang Shilang, who although he had a name in the Ministry of War, most of his work was related to the Ministry of Works.

As the Minister of War, Peng Ze's immediate superior did not hesitate in his words. He stroked his beard and smiled calmly when he heard these words.

"The Emperor has said, 'The world must advance, and the future will be better than the present.' Today, our ships are strong and powerful! We can travel with millions of people! How can we compare with our predecessors! What's more, Wang Shilang, on behalf of Mr. Ge, personally supervises the work in Jiangxi and works day and night. Is it possible? Is it not as good as the ancients?"
