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

Chapter 545 The Spy Sent!
Technological crushing

"It's very strange, though. They suddenly arrived at this place. Normally, your army should have noticed, Chief!"

The tribal alliance leader was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the person from the aristocratic family with disbelief.

"Didn't you already make arrangements? Didn't you assign anyone to patrol this area?"

The man from the powerful family scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"We assumed that your army, led by our leader, consisted of battle-hardened elites, and that you would certainly make arrangements, so we didn't!"

Everyone was speechless upon hearing this; it turned out neither side was prepared, which was quite awkward.

Seeing the anger in the eyes of the tribal alliance leader, the member of the powerful clan said.

"Chief, don't worry. Although the Ming army has appeared in this place, I guess their numbers are not many. Besides, we have powerful weapons like firearms!"

"If a real fight breaks out, they might not be a match for us. We might even be able to wipe them all out!"

Upon hearing this, the leader frowned and then let out a long sigh.

"There's no other way now. Order all troops to attack from all directions and we must defeat this Ming army!"

Then their troops began to take their weapons and head outside.

However, after unleashing a burst of fire, he felt somewhat disappointed because the effective range of their weapon was only forty or fifty paces.

At this distance, this thing is less effective than a bow and arrow.

"Weren't the Ming Dynasty's firearms supposed to be incredibly powerful? Now it seems they're nothing special, not even as good as bows and arrows!"

The person next to him curled his lip and said with a look of disdain.

"It's because the Ming army simply can't train that many archers. Unlike us grassland people, we're born to be good young men who can use bows and arrows!"

"Forget it, since we have this, let's just use it. Anyway, the Ming army on the other side is using the same things as us!"

So they rushed out, while the Ming army outside was already fully prepared.

The leading general was extremely excited. When Zhu Xiong Ying found him, he was very puzzled and didn't know what had happened. When he learned that a rebellious army would appear in this place and that he was to defeat it, he was very happy.

Over the years, I've been stuck in the rear, and haven't had many good opportunities.

Now look what's happened! I never expected these guys would run into my hands. This is truly a blessing from heaven.

Having thought of this place, he no longer hesitated and directly led his troops to surround it.

When his soldiers saw that these rebellious tribal armies were also carrying firearms, they were extremely surprised. Although they were not afraid, if the enemy also possessed such weapons, it would definitely cause them great casualties.

At this moment, the leading general said with a smile.

"Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince has already told us that all of these firearms are outdated. Not only is their range not very good, but they also take a very long time to fire. The weapons we have are far superior to theirs, so there's nothing to worry about!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. A good weapon can play a huge role on the battlefield. Now that the enemy's weapons are all like this, it would be difficult for them not to win.

"I never expected such good news, General. Don't worry, watch how we wipe them all out!"

When the troops who had made their assessment had reached about 150 paces, they saw the muskets begin firing. The soldiers inside were filled with disbelief.

Wasn't it said that the range of this firearm was only about fifty paces? How come there are still enemies at a range of 150 paces attacking with such firearms?

Suddenly they heard a whooshing sound. It turned out that the shells from the back window had also hit them. This made them realize to their surprise that the range of this kind of firearm was not only more than 150 paces, but even greater.

It's simply the most suitable way to attack now.

Failure to consider these factors led to their humiliating defeat, with some soldiers even fleeing for their lives.

The tribal alliance leader behind them looked extremely grim. Their large army, though seemingly powerful, was actually nothing more than a rabble.

They came from various different forces and had not undergone any special training, so they could not exert much power.

Taking advantage of favorable terrain is fine, but now they are directly facing the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, which is obviously very disadvantageous for them.

At that moment, he raised his knife and chopped down the man from the powerful family.

"Damn it, you must be a spy sent by the Ming army!"

"If it weren't for you, our losses would never have been so severe!"

The generals standing nearby were terrified upon hearing this. They were now surrounded, and they looked at the leader with some fear.

"Chief, what should we do next? The Ming army has already discovered us. We are no match for them. What will we do if we are captured?"

The tribal chief looked extremely grim; his father had died in battle against the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, they thought they could take this opportunity to get revenge, but no one expected that not only would they not get revenge, but they might also get themselves killed.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, we'll definitely get through this!"

He then commanded his troops to charge outwards.

However, the Ming army had already surrounded this place so tightly that it was impossible for them to break out.

The tribal chief was also somewhat afraid, and looked at the two generals beside him as he spoke.

"While all the troops are attacking from the front, we will secretly lead a portion of the army to escape from the rear. Don't worry, as long as I can leave this place safely, those inside will be my right-hand men!"

The two generals exchanged a glance and immediately took down the leader.

The leader, seeing the two men's actions, looked incredulous and said angrily.

"What are you doing? I am your leader!"

The general sneered after hearing this.

"I'm sorry, Chief, we don't have any other options right now. We just want to live!"

"So now we can only use you as our pledge of loyalty. We hope you won't blame us!"
