Dominate Marvel

"Yes, sir."

The attendant outside the door replied, but at this moment, there was a thunderous explosion and a rumble, which scared Hou Xun so much that he dropped his cup.

"what happened?"

He said something, then stood up suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

Then he saw a person stumbling in and said in a panic: "Master, it's an artillery!"

Hou Xun's heart trembled, and he said in panic: "Artillery? Where are the artillery? Are the thieves coming?"

Just as these words were said, another muffled thunder exploded, and Fengqiu suddenly became a mess like a boiling pot of boiling water. Hou Xun was extremely frightened and shouted: "Go, go!"

He didn't even care about his wives and concubines, so he ran away.

At this time, the top of Fengqiu City was in ruins. Under the city, 12,000 soldiers and horses from four armies were arrayed like a forest. Two hundred small and exquisite squatting tiger cannons were glowing with a faint golden light, and they continuously sprayed fierce sparks. In the billowing smoke, the cannons with thick mouths flashed and thundered. , whining across a distance of several hundred meters, the city wall was smashed and rocks flew, falling into the city, and the houses were smashed with holes.

The Ming army at the top of the city was howling like ghosts and wolves, suffering heavy casualties and unable to even organize a counterattack.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon fired three rounds in a row, causing the Fengqiu city wall to collapse with a loud bang, revealing a huge gap, and then the bombardment stopped. Then they saw the spearmen in light gray armor crossing the artillery array and marching towards the gap in the city wall with neat steps.

Fengqiu is just a county town. The height, thickness and width of the city wall are far from comparable to that of a major city like Kaifeng. Coupled with the political decline and financial difficulties in the late Ming Dynasty, Fengqiu's city wall had not been repaired for many years. Hou Xun stationed troops here and never thought of spending money on repairs.

The power of the Tiger Crouching Cannon improved with Jin Yuan Alloy actually caused the city wall to collapse after the first round of shelling. Three rounds of shelling were just a show of force.

The soldiers were armed to the teeth. Except for a pair of eyes, there was no flaw in their bodies. The spearmen, holding their pale golden spears, pressed forward overwhelmingly, and the distance of several hundred meters passed in an instant. The spearmen were in front and the gunmen were behind, covering each other and following up quickly.

The crackling sound of gunfire opened the curtain first. As soon as the Ming army who had narrowly escaped with their lives emerged from behind the city wall, they were greeted by a row of gunfire.

The spearmen rushed into the city along the gap, stabbing with their spears, and stood firm. Some spearmen quickly moved away the rubble and masonry left by the collapsed city wall, and the gunmen immediately poured into it.

After a while, the city gate opened wide.

Then the cavalry came out, their horses' hooves rumbled, and they trampled on the ground and fought their way in from the city gate.

The shouts of killing were loud, and the roar of firecrackers was mixed with countless screams. The Ming army that had just gathered in the city was suddenly hit hard.

After several rounds of firing, the gun soldiers who entered the city from the gap expanded their position. The spearmen quickly gathered into a square formation and advanced like a wall. With rows of spears stabbing them, the Ming army was instantly defeated.

Then a group of spearmen merged with a group of gunmen, and they spread out in coordination with each other, spreading along the spider web-like alley.

The cavalry who rushed in from the city gate first fired a round of muskets to defeat the Ming army gathered on the main street, then raised their swords and charged in with their swords raised.

Blood and screams filled the entire city, and the people in Fengqiu who still held on despite the Ming army were hiding in their homes and shivering.

The Ming army could not even organize a decent counterattack. Under the impact of Ying Yi's army, they fell to the ground one by one, leaving behind broken limbs and broken arms.

Even some brave ones used fire blunderbuss to hit the armor of Ying Yi's soldiers, but it was completely useless. The person who was beaten the most would be crushed by the army if he took a step back or even left an inconspicuous mark on his armor.

Even fire and blunderbuss are useless, let alone swords, guns, swords and halberds. The swords chop and the spears stab, making a tinkling sound, and at most there are a few sparks.

Ying Yi rode his horse into the city, trampling on flesh and blood, his face expressionless. The shouts of killing have faded away, and they have gone deep into the depths of Fengqiu. Among the broken limbs and broken arms, some Ming soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered huddled up and shivered, as if they were welcoming the arrival of a king.

On both sides of the street that has become a river of blood, occasionally a door quietly opens a crack, revealing frightened eyes.

"Get ready to clean up the battlefield."

Ying Yi said lightly.

...

Hou Xun took his wife and concubines on the carriage and fled north of the city in panic. Behind him, the generals of the two towns' soldiers and horses were also running like crazy, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. Hou Xun's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, and his lips became livid.

"Master, the north gate has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Xun took a long breath: "Quick, get out of the city!"

As the city gate creaked open, Hou Xun's carriages rumbled past the city gate, and then stopped suddenly!

Driven by inertia, Hou Xun almost knocked his head out, and couldn't help but get angry: "What's going on!"

There was no echo from outside the car.

Hou Xun opened the curtain and froze.

...

Ying Yi sat upright on the imperial chair, looking very quiet.

Downstairs, Zheng Wu was reporting on the battle situation.

"...Beheaded more than 15,000 people and captured more than 6,000 people...A notice to calm the people has been posted, and there is no harm done to the people..."

At this time, there were messy footsteps outside the door, and Wang Yisheng was seen entering first with his sword in hand.

Just as Zheng Wu finished his report and stepped back, Wang Yisheng stepped forward, beat his chest and clasped his fists, saying: "My lord, Hou Xun and the generals of the two towns have been arrested!"

Ying Yi showed a smile at this time: "Okay, bring it in."

Wang Yisheng turned around and went out. A moment later, more than ten people were pushed into the hall.

The leader was an old man with a pale face. Judging from his appearance, despite his fearful expression, he does have some scholarly demeanor, but his shrinking appearance clearly shows no character at all.

Sure enough, as soon as this person entered, Pu Tong fell to his knees and shouted: "General, spare your life, general, spare your life!"

Seeing this, the other generals also shouted for mercy.

Ying Yi frowned, and Wang Yisheng stepped forward quickly, kicked some of the mourners to the ground, and shouted: "Shut up!"

Silence immediately.

"Which one is Hou Xun?" Ying Yi asked calmly.

The old man who looked like a scholar kowtowed hurriedly: "I am an old man, I am an old man."

Ying Yi nodded: "It looks like it to me too. Your spine is as thick as mud and you are as timid as a mouse. Who else could you be if you weren't Hou Xun?"

Hou Xun said hurriedly: "The general's eyes are as bright as a torch, his eyes are as sharp as a torch!"

Ying Yi laughed: "Pull him out and kill him."

Hou Xun was startled, and suddenly screamed: "General, spare me, spare my life. I am still useful, I am still useful!"

Ying Yi waved his hand: "It looks disgusting, so pull them down and kill them."

Wang Yisheng responded and waved his hand, and soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed in, dragged Hou Xun and others out and walked out. No matter how hard he struggled and screamed, it was to no avail.

Ying Yi showed no mercy at all.

At this time, Qian Yue entered.

"Lord."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "Sit down."

Qian Yue bowed and said, "These soft bones..."

"Kill them all." Ying Yi said.

Qian Yue said: "It's not all soft and weak."

He said: "The general will bring a strong backbone."

"Oh?" Ying Yi was startled out of curiosity: "Do you still have a strong bone?"

Then I saw a person being pushed in. When he saw Ying Yi, he didn't bow to him. He held his head high and looked sideways.

"Who is this?"

"The Fengqiu County Magistrate is here, Ying thief, don't be so arrogant!" The man snorted and shouted.

"Fengqiu Order?" Ying Yi didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Although the Ming Dynasty is in such ruins, there are still a few loyal ministers after all."
