Chapter 187
"What's going on? Are you sure it's the Ming army?"
Mo Dengyong was filled with disbelief. He never expected that the Ming army would be at the city gates in just a few days. This was too fast. Even if the Ming army was fully prepared on the border, it was impossible for them to advance this quickly.
Mo Dengyong felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but think of Ouyang Bijin's strange behavior; he was clearly seeking death.
"My lord, it is indeed the army of the Ming Dynasty, and they are flying the Ming Dynasty's flag."
The official in front of Mo Dengyong also looked like he had seen a ghost.
"My lord, it's terrible! The city has fallen, and the Ming army has already stormed in."
Mo Dengyong's mind was still in a daze when his butler ran over in a panic.
"what?"
Mo Dengyong was completely dumbfounded.
The capital of the Le Dynasty was far from the border, and the garrison was not large on ordinary days, with a maximum of just over a thousand men. However, most of them were idle and in peacetime, there were only a hundred or so men on duty.
In addition, after Yun Jin led the Xuanwu Army to dock the treasure ship at the shore, he only took about a thousand men and rushed to the front line under the cover of night. The territory of the Li Dynasty is a long strip, all of which is coastal.
Even without warhorses, after landing on the coast closest to the capital of the Le Dynasty, killing the coastal garrison, and rushing all the way to the capital, it would only take about half a day.
Forced marches have always been one of the training programs for the Xuanwu Army. Every morning, the Xuanwu Army must march twenty li (approximately 10 kilometers) and every few days they will also do a sixty-li (approximately 30 kilometers) cross-country run.
It can be said that the Xuanwu Army and the Tiger Army absolutely crushed all the Ming Dynasty's armies in terms of physical fitness.
The walls of the capital of the Le Dynasty were not on the same level as those of the Ming Dynasty, both in height and scale. The Xuanwu Army took less than a quarter of an hour to attack and capture the city.
After the city fell, Yun Jin commanded the Tiger Legion, half of which headed for the royal palace and the other half for the Mo Dengyong family. As for the location of the Mo Dengyong family, the person from Ouyang Bijin's delegation, in addition to being responsible for contacting the Xuanwu Army, had also secretly drawn up a map of the capital during his time in the Li Dynasty capital.
Just as Mo Dengyong was frantically trying to grab some gold and silver and run away, the Xuanwu Army had already stormed into the Mo residence and instantly took control of Mo Dengyong and everyone in the Mo family.
Mo Dengyong felt like he was dreaming. First, before he was even fully awake, someone broke into his home and told him that the Ming army was attacking the city. Then, before he could even react, someone else came and told him that the city had fallen.
They had barely had time to get dressed and hadn't even packed their things when the Ming army stormed into their home.
Meanwhile, Yun Jin led her men into the palace and found Li Chun, who was under house arrest.
"Greetings to the envoy of the Great Ming Dynasty."
Li Chun was very perceptive; there were people in the Xuanwu Army specifically responsible for carrying the flag, in order to show their own stance.
The one carrying the flag was none other than Wang Zhi.
At this moment, Wang Zhi was a little dazed. If he could accept the previous annihilation of those red-haired devils, then the fact that it only took half a day to rush from the coast all the way to the capital of Annam, and then to break through the city and attack the palace in a short time made Wang Zhi wonder if he was still asleep.
You know, even plays wouldn't dare to write it like this.
"Are you aware that Mo Dengyong killed our Ming Dynasty envoy?"
Yun Jin looked at Emperor Li Gong in front of her and asked.
Yun Jin was almost twelve years old at this time. After being exposed to the wind and sun at sea for the past two or three months, her skin had lost its former fair complexion and turned into a wheat color. The childishness between her brows had disappeared, and she spoke with a natural air of composure.
This was only when facing Li Chun; Yun Jin was already being quite amiable. If it were her own soldiers, they would tremble at the mere sight of Yun Jin.
