Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 378 A crushing defeat, a cataclysmic event.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The next moment, the Tian Ce soldiers seemed to have had their fill of fun.

Everyone suddenly exerted their strength, and they actually pulled up the war elephant, which weighed nearly 10,000 pounds, flipped it in the air, and then slammed it hard to the ground!

The ground trembled violently, and the enormous recoil caused the war elephants to let out painful and terrified cries.

"This... is impossible!" The Siamese prince, who was overseeing the battle from the rear, almost popped his eyes out. Those war elephants were all carefully selected, each one far superior to ordinary elephants. If they charged in armor, they could even break down city gates and walls.

Throughout Siam's long history, there have been numerous examples of war elephants being killed, but in terms of overthrowing war elephants by brute force, there are very few instances in Siamese history.

In fact, most of them are just rumors.

But now, what did he see?
The war elephants, which they thought were impossible to defeat head-on, were actually pulled up and flipped over by the brute force of the Ming Dynasty's Tian Ce soldiers, and then slammed to the ground.

wrestling with war elephants?
This idea is something every Siamese person has, yet every Siamese person knows it's impossible.

However, things happened right before their eyes in such an absurd way.

They weren't given any warning whatsoever.

Zhu Jianqiu found the actions of his fellow Tian Ce comrades somewhat amusing, but he was also genuinely tempted. He knew that Yang Ning had received a terrestrial immortal-level dragon as a reward from his prince.

Although this war elephant is not as legendary as the dragon, it is far inferior in every aspect.

But it can still satisfy those who are curious.

Such a thought only lingered in Zhu Jianqiu's mind for a very short moment. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that the war elephants had all been divided up by the Tian Ce soldiers who charged ahead quickly.

"If you refuse to surrender, then... die!"

Zhu Jianqiu waved his hand calmly.

The three thousand Tian Ce soldiers received precise instructions and their formation changed abruptly!
It's no longer just about slashing; the purpose of using a gun is to injure and repel enemies, rather than to kill.

Instead, they immediately became like a sophisticated meat grinder, with dozens of men in a group, their spears piercing through the air for several meters, as if they were wielding a giant spear that could reach the sky. A single sweep could cut hundreds of Siamese soldiers in half, or send them flying in swathes, leaving them barely alive when they landed.

There are also those skilled with swords, whose sword light transforms into sword energies ten feet long and condensed into a tangible substance!
"Tsk-!"

A sweeping blade of energy! Indestructible!

The tough rattan armor was like rotten wood in front of the blade's energy!
They all deliberately avoided the location of the war elephant camp, but those Siamese soldiers were just mortals, how could they withstand the unrestrained slaughter of the Vajra Realm?

In just a few breaths, they were completely routed.

"Run! Run quickly!"

"It's unstoppable! It's impossible to stop it!"

"Devils! They are devils!"

Desperate cries and fear swept through the entire Siamese army like a plague. The 70,000-strong army was completely routed by the repeated attacks of the 3,000 Tian Ce soldiers.

The soldiers abandoned their armor and weapons, crying out for their parents, fleeing in all directions like ants being doused with boiling water, wishing they had two more legs.

Countless people died from trampling each other!

Zhu Jianqiu calmly watched the Siamese soldiers flee, his gaze fixed on the rear. "Isn't this a form of restraint? Brother Xu, I have carried out your orders. The rest is up to you!" Behind him, five thousand elite Ming border troops, already impatient and brimming with murderous intent, roared like tigers released from their cages, brandishing their gleaming swords, and surged towards the Siamese soldiers who had completely lost their will to fight and were only concerned with escaping.

Their mission is to expand the gains, clear the battlefield, and turn this defeat into a complete annihilation!
The Ban Ching Valley became a massive graveyard for the 70,000-strong army of Siam.

The price paid by the Tian Ce Army was merely the slight turmoil in the blood and qi of dozens of soldiers as they fought against the war elephants, and the blood of the enemy that stained their armor.

……

Almost simultaneously, Zhu Jianqiu decisively defeated the 70,000-strong Siamese army and war elephant battalion with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, rapidly expanding his gains and reaping the spoils of war.

From the direction of Phitsanulok in northern Siam, a deafening roar of complete collapse could also be heard!

Unlike the efficient, precise, and almost artistic killings under Zhu Jianqiu's command, Xu Changhai, in pursuit of the fastest victory and results, did not choose to have the Tian Ce soldiers attack the city.

Instead, they chose...

Do it yourself!

Pure to the extreme, it represents the crushing power of absolute strength!
Phitsanulok, the most important fortress in northern Siam, had walls built of massive stone blocks, making it exceptionally sturdy. The defenders, relying on the fortified city, intended to fight a desperate battle.

However, in Xu Changhai's eyes, this so-called fortified city was no different in essence from the Ava and Padang dynasties in Myanmar, or the earthen walls of Annam.

"Stay put!" Xu Changhai roared, his voice like muffled thunder echoing across the battlefield.

He took a step forward, soaring through the air, carrying a large halberd, and charged alone towards the towering city gate of Peng Shilu!

On the city wall, the Siamese defenders watched as the Ming general, who appeared alone and seemingly like a god from legend, flew in. They were first stunned, then terrified, but then erupted in a desperate cry of survival: "Shoot! Shoot him to death!"

Siamese soldiers drew their bows and nocked arrows, shooting them at Xu Changhai in mid-air.

In an instant, a barrage of arrows was unleashed, like a torrential downpour.

Xu Changhai stared indifferently at the scene before him, only letting out a disdainful snort from his nose! His imposing, mountain-like body remained motionless, letting the countless arrows fall upon him.

Unfortunately, whether the arrows were poisoned or armor-piercing, they vanished instantly upon hitting Xu Changhai, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!
"Yang Ning secretly learned a move from His Highness, little did he know that I, Old Xu, also learned a move from His Highness."

Xu Changhai's voice echoed across the battlefield, sounding like a murmur to himself, yet also like a boastful tone, addressed to the many Tian Ce soldiers he led.

"This single strike can shatter mountains and rivers, and even destroy the sun and moon."

“Watch out!”

Xu Changhai suddenly roared, pointing his halberd at the great city below. The dazzling purple-gold light gathered and compressed wildly, like a raging sun. Under his will, it was forged into a towering white jade pillar that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth!

"Smash it, you son of a bitch!"

A thunderous roar resounded through the sky!
The spear pierced through the rainbow, making the bright blue sky seem as if two suns were shining together. It carried the terrifying power to destroy stars and slammed hard and without any fancy moves onto the supposedly impregnable city walls of Pengshiluo!

"boom--!!"

A violent roar, like the collapse of the heavens, echoed wildly!

The entire world seemed to tremble and groan violently under the impact of this halberd! Centered on the point where the halberd struck, visible purple-gold energy aftershocks exploded out like a raging sea, sweeping in all directions!
The sturdy stone wall instantly crumbled into a pile of broken dust, and countless huge spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground. Smoke and dust mixed with rubble shot into the sky, gradually forming a huge, slowly rising mushroom cloud!
