Emperor Chongzhen was too extreme.

Chapter 117 A sudden flash of golden light, dazzling the eye!

At this moment, in Dongjiang Military Town.

It was no longer just Mao Wenlong who was so excited that he was trembling and unable to utter a single word.

Those who climbed the watchtower with him.

Looking at the hundreds of ships rolling in from the sea behind Dongjiang Town and the dragon banner fluttering in the wind.

They all wore expressions of disbelief.

What's going on? !

Is it a mirage or something else?!

After staring at the dragon banners for a long while, everyone realized that what they were seeing was not an illusion.

Instead, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually sent people to rescue them!
But how is this possible?

Isn't it said that all the powerful and influential families across the Ming Dynasty have already rebelled?

How did the emperor manage to bring so many people to Dongjiang Town under these circumstances?

No one could understand this question at all.

No one had the mind to think about this at this time; everyone was focused on just one thing.

That means I won't die, and Dongjiang Town can be saved!

Although they were prepared to die from the moment they decided to stay in Dongjiang Town, they did not have much fear of death.

But if one can live, who would want to die?

From the watchtower, someone shouted, "His Majesty has brought troops to rescue Dongjiang Town!"

Immediately, the soldiers and civilians on the ground were stunned, and then immediately fell into a clamor.

"His Majesty has come to save us?! His Majesty has saved us!!!"

"I knew His Majesty would come! He gave us silver and grain, how could he just stand by and watch our military town fall to the Jurchens!"

"The commander-in-chief didn't lie to us, His Majesty really did send reinforcements!"

"."

All of a sudden.

The soldiers and civilians who had just been plunged into despair and fear, ready to fight their way out, were now surrounded by jubilation and ecstasy.

Mao Wenlong and other generals.

Finally, at this moment, they calmed down and looked at each other, a joy that was hard to describe welled up in their hearts.

Mao Wenlong wiped the warmth from his eyes.

He composed himself and was just about to order the entire military town to be on high alert and prepare to cover His Majesty's landing.

Suddenly a messenger ran over and shouted urgently:
"General! General! The Later Jin army has begun a full-scale attack on the damaged city wall to the east!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Wenlong instantly banished his elation and immediately addressed the group of suicide squad members with a stern expression:

"Everyone, follow me and defend the east city wall with all your might! Draw the enemy's firepower and cover His Majesty's army's successful landing!"

"Yes!"

Loud shouts erupted within the city, greatly boosting morale.

Previously, people had become desperate because they could not see any hope of defending the city.

Now everyone understands that as long as they can hold out until His Majesty successfully lands, the Later Jin army will surely be crushed in one fell swoop.

In this situation, who wouldn't fight tooth and nail?!
After organizing the garrison, Mao Wenlong continued to shout at his most trusted deputy general, Chen Jisheng:
"Chen Jisheng, you will remain in the watchtower to keep an eye on His Majesty's movements and report to me immediately!"

"If you discover anything amiss, immediately lead your men out of the city gates to aid His Majesty! You do not need my orders!"

"Your Majesty bears the heavy responsibility of governing the Ming Dynasty; absolutely no mistakes can be made!"

"Yes!" Chen Jisheng answered sternly, and without any hesitation, climbed the watchtower again.

After giving all the instructions, Mao Wenlong immediately led the two thousand daredevils to rush towards the most severely damaged eastern city wall.

If they can withstand this wave of attacks, the scales of victory will tip completely in their favor!

at the same time.

Wunag, who was attacking the city from outside, narrowed his eyes arrogantly as he looked at the defending soldiers whose morale had suddenly soared.

Are these spineless southerners really going to fight to the death?

Since Vunage was appointed as commander-in-chief, he must not be an ordinary person.

From the reaction of the defending soldiers, he immediately guessed that Mao Wenlong was preparing to lead everyone in a final counterattack.

If he can suppress this counterattack, taking the city next will be a piece of cake.

Therefore, Wunage led the remaining elite Later Jin troops directly to the front line of the siege.

With the arrival of their commander and elite troops, the morale of the Later Jin forces surged instantly, and the battle quickly intensified.

As for the hundreds of ships rapidly approaching from behind Dongjiang Town on the sea, Wunage paid no attention to them at all.

no way.

Dongjiang Town is an island that is not very big, but it is definitely not small either.

Moreover, Vunage's focus was entirely on the siege, so he had no time to pay attention to what was happening at sea.
Therefore, for both sides in the conflict...

While leading the soldiers in the city in a desperate resistance, Mao Wenlong also kept a close eye on the news about the imperial procession that came from the messengers.

"General! His Majesty's ships are almost at the shore!"

Mao Wenlong: "Hold on, everyone! We'll win soon!"

"General! His Majesty has successfully landed! He is now lining up, and he has brought many soldiers, all of whom are wearing armor!"

Mao Wenlong: "Listen up! His Majesty is almost here! We absolutely cannot let a single Jurchen into the city! Everyone will be richly rewarded! Those who die in battle will receive five times the normal compensation!"

"General! His Majesty is leading his men and charging this way!"

Mao Wenlong: ?

Mao Wenlong, who was about to continue speaking to boost morale, stopped abruptly and grabbed the messenger, demanding, "What did you say?!"

The messenger couldn't hide his excitement: "His Majesty has led men to rescue us! His Majesty is even at the forefront!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Wenlong, clad in armor, took off running towards the watchtower.

Mao Wenlong, with his white hair and beard, displayed an explosive power and endurance even stronger than that of a young man in his early twenties.

He climbed the watchtower without stopping for a moment.

Without saying a word, he pushed aside the extremely excited Chen Jisheng and picked up the binoculars to look around.

When he saw Zhu Youjian leading a group of Shenwei Battalion guards rushing towards him on horseback, he scrambled down the watchtower using both his hands and feet.

After grabbing a horse at random, he charged toward the east gate while shouting:

"Open the gate! Open the gate!"

"His Majesty has personally led the charge into battle, bringing the army to provide support!!"

"Our Ming reinforcements will arrive immediately! All soldiers of Dongjiang Town, follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!!!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers guarding the city immediately opened the city gates.

Upon hearing this, the remaining generals and soldiers all rushed towards the east gate.

His Majesty not only came, but also rushed to the forefront.

If they don't rush forward now, what the hell are they going to do?!
In an instant.

The Ming soldiers and the elite Later Jin troops clashed head-on in an extremely brutal manner.

Then, seeing this scene, Commander-in-Chief Wunag excitedly licked his lips.

Although the garrison in Dongjiang Town was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, as a seasoned general, Wu Nag would not show any fear at this moment.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Mounted on his warhorse, Wu Nag drew his sharp scimitar and pointed it at the gate of Dongjiang Town: "The first one to rush through the city gate will be appointed a commander of a thousand men! He will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

"If anyone can capture or kill Mao Wenlong, I will personally bring him to see the Great Khan!"

Upon hearing this, the morale of the elite Later Jin troops was greatly boosted.

The clash between the two highly motivated teams resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives in a single encounter.

Under such a confrontation.

Both sides had lost all sense of strategy; all that remained was a stab in the back, and if one of them died, the other would stab the other in return.

Seeing this scene, Wunage became even more excited.

Because in such a life-for-life exchange, the Later Jin side had a complete advantage, and it wouldn't be long before Dongjiang Town was completely annihilated!

But at this critical moment.

A scene that none of the Later Jin soldiers had anticipated unfolded. A deafening battle cry suddenly erupted from the corner of the city wall, followed by a surge of countless cavalrymen.

These cavalrymen were all dressed in fine armor, clearly belonging to the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty.

All the Later Jin soldiers were stunned when they saw these people.

How can it be? !
How could the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty end up in a place like Dongjiang Town?
When did they arrive? And how did they get here?!
Why do these people seem even more imposing than my Later Jin elite troops?!

Seeing this group of beings who seemed to have descended from the heavens, the morale of the Later Jin army deflated instantly, like a water bag punctured by an awl.

As the elite of the Later Jin dynasty.

They were all too aware of the impact such reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty would have on the battle!
When Wunag saw this scene, his pupils dilated in shock.

now.

His attention was completely drawn to the person in the center.

The man's imposing presence was something even the battle-hardened general Wunag had never witnessed before.

His gaze swept across the area, and then fell upon the dragon banner fluttering behind the man.

Upon seeing those banners, Vunage's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Vunage knew all too well what these flags, which were reserved for the emperor, represented.

A Ming Dynasty emperor?!
The visitor was none other than the Ming Dynasty emperor?!

Straight bitch!
How could the emperors of the Ming Dynasty be so magnificent?!
Wunag had no time to think about these things.

Although his mind had begun to waver under the impact.

However, his long-standing combat experience enabled him to make the most correct response at the first moment.

He looked at the Ming Dynasty reinforcements rapidly approaching him and shouted with all his might:
"The man who came is the Ming Dynasty emperor! Kill him! Whoever kills him will become the king of my Later Jin!"

But for the Later Jin soldiers, even if Wu Nag promised them that they would become emperors when they returned, they had no interest in listening to him at all.

Although they were the elite of the Later Jin army, they were still just human beings.

On the battlefield, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

The appearance of this group of people has already caused everyone's morale to plummet.

Seeing this menacing group rushing towards them, some people immediately dropped their weapons and fled.

When the soldiers of Dongjiang Town saw the dragon banner symbolizing the emperor appear, their morale soared once again, and they fought the Later Jin army with even greater recklessness.

With the balance of power shifting, the Later Jin army was already on the verge of collapse!

Even after Vunage killed several deserters, he was unable to stop the downward spiral.

After realizing that killing more than a dozen people had no effect whatsoever.

Wunag simply stopped trying to stop the fleeing soldiers from escaping.

Instead, he gripped his steel sword tightly and stared intently at the Ming emperor who was about to charge to the front of the battle.

He, Wunage, is going to fight the Ming emperor to the death today!

With his full beard, Wunag's resolute expression, to some extent, reflected the composure a renowned general should possess when facing a formidable enemy.

But his trembling legs, which were clamped between the horse's sides, betrayed his horrified state of mind.

As Wunag watched the Ming emperor getting closer and closer, only one thought remained in his mind.

"Damn it! How can it be so magnificent?!"

Just in time.

His warhorse seemed to be disturbed as well, trembling incessantly as it faced the thousands of reinforcements advancing aggressively.

And this time.

Wunage then fully demonstrated his qualities as a renowned general of the Later Jin dynasty.

Wunag pulled on the reins, instantly turning his horse around: "Run!!!"

Where there is life, there is hope!

This time, we suffered a complete loss because of poor intelligence.

Wu Nag never expected that the Ming Dynasty emperor would personally come to Dongjiang Town to provide support.

It's possible that this whole affair involves that beastly servant from Korea, who deliberately conspired with the Ming Dynasty to frame the Later Jin.

He had to run back.

If we can return to the Later Jin, then we can bring tens of thousands of troops and capture the Ming emperor alive, thus achieving unparalleled merit!
Surrounded by his personal guards, Wunage fled in panic.

But what no one expected was.

After Vunag fled.

The emperor and his personal guards showed no sign of slowing down; on the contrary, they charged even faster toward the fleeing Vunage.

boom--

The armored warhorse instantly knocked a group of Later Jin soldiers who were fleeing in panic.

then.

Mao Wenlong and his generals watched helplessly as the emperor, who was charging at high speed, drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

whoosh-

An arrow was shot from the emperor's hand and struck the hind leg of the warhorse beneath Vunage.

The warhorse, in pain, reared up and neighed.

And in full view of everyone.

The emperor surprisingly chose to throw away his bow and arrows and pick up a spear instead.

His warhorse continued its charge towards Wunage's retreating figure.

Between the lightning and flint.

The emperor's warhorse had already stepped behind Vunage.

The emperor then thrust his spear forward with a sudden, powerful thrust.

Plop.

The spear then pierced Wunage's shoulder from behind and then protruded halfway out from the front of his body.

Followed by.

The emperor's warhorse continued to charge forward, and Wunage was sent flying into the air by the emperor's spear.

All of a sudden.

Both the Ming soldiers who were in pursuit and the elite Later Jin troops who were fleeing in panic noticed this scene at this moment.

Even time seemed to stand still at that moment.

boom--

The warhorse charged forward several more steps before coming to a stop as the emperor reined in it.

But the burly Wunag had already been pinned to the ground in front of him by the emperor's spear.

Looking at this scene.

The remaining thousands of Later Jin soldiers were stunned at this moment, and then completely collapsed, no longer able to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

And this time.

Looking at the stunned bandits in front of him, Xiao Hongzi's lips curled into a dangerous smile:

"Surrender and you will not be killed! Those who resist stubbornly, or those who flee and refuse to obey, will be killed without mercy!"

Listen to this.

The Jin soldiers immediately fell to their knees as if a chain reaction had occurred.

The soldiers of Dongjiang Army Town, covered in blood, stared blankly at the Jurchen bandits kneeling on the ground, their hearts filled with terror. After a moment of stunned silence, they involuntarily roared in unison:
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Long live the Great Ming Dynasty! Long live the Great Ming Dynasty!

The shouts of "Long live the Emperor!" shook heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the other generals in Dongjiang Military Town stared in disbelief at Mao Wenlong, who shared the same expression.

General, just how much information about the Emperor have you been hiding from us?!
Why have I never heard you mention that the emperor was even more valiant than Xiang Yu?!
It just so happened.

A ray of sunlight shone on Zhu Youjian's armor.

Under the spotlight of everyone.

A flash of golden light caught everyone's eye!
