Chapter 210 Monkey Spell

"You came so quickly. What does Admiral Park Zhengyi do for a living? He is the number one criminal in this dynasty!"

"We spent tens of millions of taels of silver and 40,000 naval forces, but we let the enemy fleet march straight into Pyongyang. What a waste, what a waste."

Surrounded by the crowd, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan hurriedly climbed up the city wall, held on to the parapet, looked at the Bohai Fleet on the river, his heart sank, and then he burst into cursing.

For a whole cup of tea, the mottled city walls were filled with curses. Not only the King of Goguryeo, but all the civil and military officials were cursing and using foul language to vent their fear.

Thinking back to the tragic scene when the Sui army besieged the city last time, if they had not pretended to surrender, Goguryeo would have ceased to exist long ago. Now that it is happening again, everyone has a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Fire the cannons and blast him!"

The Bohai Fleet lying across the river roared like a god, and its artillery shells swept across the entire city of Pyongyang like a violent storm.

"Boom," the earth-shaking roar resounded through the sky. As the sun set, the city of Pyongyang, which had just cooled down, suddenly became hot, and shrill wails were heard everywhere.

Smoke and dust billowed, and wooden houses exploded everywhere as shrapnel exploded. Huge fires ignited, and the orange-red flames illuminated half the sky.

"My king, it's too dangerous on the city wall. Let's retreat first!"

The ministers, who were in a state of smoke and in a state of disgrace, were like countless sparrows, chirping and trying to persuade the emperor.

Artillery shells have no eyes. Even martial arts masters would find it difficult to withstand the powerful shock waves, not to mention a group of civil servants who are good at talking. As for the military generals, they had already followed Eulji Mundeok to the Liaoshui front.

In other words, the city of Pyongyang was basically in an undefended state at this moment. There were no capable generals guarding the city. Everyone was uneasy, with fear in their eyes.

"Yes, yes, withdraw first."

Gao Yuan, who was at a loss, nodded hurriedly and prepared to retreat to the palace. As if he remembered something, he turned around, pointed at a young official at random, and ordered: "Hurry up and contact the general and ask him to lead the troops back to help."

"promise!"

The young official in a green robe had a bitter face and took on this fatal task with trepidation.

From sunset to sunrise, the deafening roar continued all night long. Hundreds of thousands of people in Pyongyang could not sleep all night, tossing and turning, until the sun rose.

Under the brilliant rays of the setting sun, the eight-zhang-high city wall was now in tatters and had collapsed a lot, with huge gaps in it as if it had been bitten by a giant beast.

"Come on!"

After breakfast, the 100,000 imperial guards, who were ready to go, marched into Pyongyang City in neat steps, quickly occupied various government offices, and surrounded the palace. The whole process was extremely smooth.

"Has the news spread? When will the general return to the city?"

In the magnificent palace, the King of Goguryeo, who had not slept all night, paced back and forth, his tired face full of anxiety.

Pyongyang City covers a vast area. With only 50,000 troops, facing the overwhelming artillery fire, the King of Goguryeo knew he could not defend it, so he abandoned the outer city.

Taking advantage of the night, all the soldiers were withdrawn to the palace, away from the attack range of the cannons, ready to use the tall and solid palace to hold out and wait for reinforcements, counterattack and attack the center.

The eunuch standing by gritted his teeth and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, according to the distance, it will take at least four days."

"Four days, four days. Send someone to urge them. Three days. No, two days. Only two days at most."

Holding the palm-sized monkey charm tightly, the Goguryeo king was talking nonsense. It would take at least four or five days to get from the Liaoshui front to Pyongyang City. Two days was simply impossible, unless he had wings and flew over.

But the King of Goguryeo had no other choice at the moment. This was his only life-saving straw. As for escaping, he still had some pride in his heart and could not let go of his face.

An hour later, countless soldiers swarmed in from all directions, and dark cannons were lined up in a row, surrounding the towering palace. The continuous bombardment began again.

The soldiers stationed on the city walls had already been frightened out of their wits. In their eyes, the fierce artillery fire seemed like the wrath of the gods. They were almost crawling on the ground, begging for forgiveness from all the gods.

"Shitou, capture the palace as soon as possible and capture the King of Goguryeo alive."

Looking at the palace with carved beams and painted buildings in front of him, Shen Yuanliang, dressed in white, frowned and gave instructions calmly.

Go straight to Huanglong and push down the crystal tower, so that you can kill the enemy with one blow. If you fail to capture it for a long time, the good situation will be reversed and you will be surrounded by 600,000 to 700,000 Goguryeo soldiers.

"Don't worry, my lord."

"It only takes one hour to breach the city wall and bring the King of Goguryeo to you."

Patting his strong chest, the burly Stone, who was as big as a bear, said confidently.

The city wall in front of him was just an ordinary brick and stone wall, unlike the wall of Qingdi City which was covered with dense runes and combined with Qimen Dunjia to suppress the enemy's strength to the maximum extent.

Even martial arts masters can only exert 60% to 70% of their strength, otherwise any immortal on land can smash the city into pieces with one punch, bringing down the city walls, and the city walls will lose their due meaning.

"Boom boom boom!"

The horn of attack sounded, and Shi Tou, wearing heavy armor and carrying a mace weighing tens of thousands of pounds, stood at the front, giving people great encouragement.

"boom!"

The surging blood and energy spread out, forming a thousand-foot-high smoke, which dispersed the clouds in the sky, and the air within a radius of ten miles became much thicker.

Amid the exclamations of the soldiers on both sides, the stone seemed like a giant spirit descending, and endless energy and blood power condensed into a ten-foot-tall phantom, giving people a great sense of oppression.

One step, two steps, as the stone strode forward, it got closer and closer to the city wall. The soldiers stationed on the city wall were terrified, and many of them even dropped their weapons and crawled on the ground.

At this critical moment, the Goguryeo king, who had hurried over, pursed his dry lips, raised the monkey talisman in his hand, and shouted in front of everyone: "Turn into a pig."

An invisible wave rippled out, and the supreme rule descended. Under the incredible gaze of the crowd, the stone that was so majestic just now turned into a ten-foot-tall wild boar under the monkey talisman.

"What's wrong with me?"

The groaning and groaning made everyone stunned. The noisy battlefield was now silent, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Is this a monkey charm?"

Sitting on the tall horse, Shen Yuanliang held the reins with both hands, looking at the talisman in the Goguryeo king's hand, feeling very surprised.

The wonderful world of martial arts has been mixed with some messy things, making the already dangerous world even more mysterious and unpredictable, making it hard to guard against, just like the monkey talisman in front of him.

He can ignore other people's will and martial arts realm and turn anyone into any animal, including pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, etc. It's very scary!
