The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 334 Exhausted Troops Fight a Lonely City

"We fought our way here very easily because their troops had all been withdrawn, so that's proof!"

The generals nodded upon hearing this. Perhaps things were really as they thought. If so, whoever was the first to capture Zhu Xiong Ying or defeat Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping would win.

He might gain immense prestige in the southwest region and even be hailed as a renowned general of his time.

Everyone was extremely excited upon hearing this, and then a general appeared.

He stood up and spoke out.

"Your Highness, this humble general requests permission to fight!"

"Just give me 20,000 troops, and I can take down the city where Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping is located. Then I will definitely bring his head to Your Highness!"

The general standing nearby, upon hearing these words, was far from pleased with His Highness.

"If you hand this army over to me, I will take the city where Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping is stationed in the shortest time. Moreover, I don't need 20,000 troops, I only need 15,000 soldiers!"

Upon hearing this, the other generals also rushed out to compete for the mission. King Liang, Bazalawarmi, was extremely satisfied as he watched his generals frantically vying for the mission.

As expected, not all of his subordinates were useless; there were still some capable generals among them. These people looked at the people in front of them carefully and said with a smile.

"You don't need to fight anymore. I'm going to lead all the troops to rush over and destroy the Ming Dynasty's entire deployment in the southwest with lightning speed!"

"Of course, it would be great if we could capture the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty and Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping, among others!"

"Using them might bring more benefits to the Ming Dynasty, but it wouldn't be bad if we could drive them away!"

"By then, the entire Southwest will be our territory. I will definitely reward those who have contributed, and each of you will be promoted and given higher ranks!"

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"We will obey His Highness Prince Liang's orders!"

Immediately afterwards, King Liang ordered his soldiers to break camp and march towards the city where Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping was located.

These soldiers were forced to march before they had even had a meal.

Every man's eyes were filled with resentment. After a forced march, they finally arrived at the city where Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping was stationed, and saw only a few soldiers scattered on the city wall.

He was extremely excited.

"As expected, the intelligence was correct. Right now, Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping and Marquis Wang Bi of Dingyuan don't have many troops at their disposal. These few people are simply not enough for us to launch a single attack!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. In addition, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to attack the staff member standing nearby.

"Your Highness, our soldiers have been starving for a day; they didn't eat anything when they arrived!"

"Now it's even more so; they're already exhausted. Why not let our soldiers stop and have a good meal before they continue their attack!"

King Liang frowned upon hearing this.

"How is that possible?"

"Our army suddenly appeared in this place. We used a surprise attack, and that's the key word!"

"If we rest for any longer, the enemy will probably find out about our operation. Then, all the trouble we went through to get to this place will be for nothing. So the best thing to do now is to attack directly!"

The advisor frowned; this method of attack was far too dangerous.

At this moment, he looked at the group of generals.

"Generals, you are all seasoned commanders with many years of experience. We would like to ask you to provide a strategy for how to handle this matter!"

"I believe that all of you generals are well-versed in military strategy and will naturally offer a reasonable solution!" However, the generals looked at each other.

Finally, a general stepped forward and spoke.

"We have a large number of troops, and there are not many troops defending this city now."

Simply by sheer numbers, they could crush them all!

"So there was absolutely no surprise in this battle!"

"So I think even at this point, there shouldn't be too much of a problem with the attack!"

Upon hearing this, King Liang nodded in satisfaction at Zhalawami. Indeed, his thoughts coincided with his own. This man was truly his confidant. The advisor sighed upon hearing this and could only return to his original position.

Soon, these exhausted troops began to rush towards the city.

The soldiers defending the city walls began to resist. These soldiers had traveled a long distance and had not eaten, so they were even more exhausted and their fighting strength was not particularly strong. Their attack power was also not very good. King Liang was extremely dissatisfied with this situation.

"Have these guys all skipped meals?"

Why do you look so out of breath?

I raise them to fight for me, not to be treated like royalty!

"Somebody come!"

"Order the supervisory team to take over. Anyone who fights like this again, kill them on the spot!"

A squad of soldiers quickly caught up with them.

These soldiers were already exhausted, and seeing the supervisors rushing up, they could only barely endure it, leaving them all filled with resentment.

They quickly captured the city.

However, when they entered the city, they found that there was no one there; everyone had fled.

These soldiers captured a great deal of weapons, armor, gold, and silver treasures.

Even the banner of Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping is in here.

Upon seeing this, King Liang was extremely pleased with Zalawarmi.

"Not bad, not bad! Now Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping is so scared of us that he even dropped his command flag!"

"Once this gets out, it will completely humiliate Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

After all the troops had entered, everyone ate a hearty meal and then fell into a deep sleep. They were exhausted after a day of marching, so they had eaten quite a lot.

At this moment, the advisor beside him frowned and looked at King Liang in front of him, saying something to Zhalawami.

"Your Highness Prince Liang!"

"Although we have now captured this city, there is not enough food in the city, especially at this time."

The Ming army has surrounded this place. What should we do?

"So I suggest we set up camp outside the city, so we can be prepared if anything happens!"
