Chapter 473 Duke of Da Xuan Tang - Li Yuan and his son
Faced with the seemingly impregnable city gate, Li Yuanba did not choose complicated tactics, but instead chose the simplest and most brutal method - directly and violently breaking down the gate!
boom!
With a deafening roar, Li Yuanba gripped the Golden Hammer with both hands, leaped up like a god descending to earth, and smashed the hammers down on the city gate with a whooshing sound.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a flash of golden light appeared, accompanied by a roar, and the city gate slowly cracked open under this terrifying power.
Dust flew, and stones flew everywhere. The guards behind the city gate were terrified by the sudden shock. They stared in horror at the crack, as if they saw death approaching.
"My God! What kind of monster is that? Is that hammer a divine weapon? The city gate... the city gate is cracked open!"
One of the guards cried out in terror, his voice filled with despair and disbelief.
"What should we do? He's about to burst in!"
Another garrison soldier spoke in a trembling voice, his hands gripping his weapon tightly, but his eyes revealing an undisguised fear.
"Hold on! Hold on! We can't let him succeed!"
An officer shouted, trying to calm the troops, but his own voice was trembling.
They really had no experience dealing with animals like this!
However, this was just the beginning; Li Yuanba did not stop.
He was like a tireless war god, wielding his double hammers, each strike more ferocious than the last.
Under the relentless onslaught, the city gate finally succumbed and collapsed with a deafening roar. Dust and rubble mingled into a chaotic mess, obscuring the sun.
Li Yuanba's figure appeared even taller amidst the swirling dust, like a colossus who created the world and shattered an indestructible myth with his own strength.
The soldiers guarding the city walls, witnessing this scene, all showed expressions of terror.
Their once resolute gazes were now replaced by fear.
They looked down at the figure wielding the golden hammer and drum, as if looking at a grim reaper from hell, their hearts filled with endless despair.
Even after the city gates were breached, Li Yuanba did not stop.
Like a tiger descending the mountain, it charged into the city, and wherever it passed, the Yellow Turban army was terrified and scattered in disarray.
Its thunderous golden hammer was unstoppable; every strike seemed to tear through the air, creating gusts of wind that shattered the enemy's armor, weapons, and even lives.
Its momentum was so fierce, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, unstoppable.
Li Yuanba moved through the city as if it were empty, and wherever he went, chaos and terror followed.
The defenders tried to resist the fierce general's attack, but their weapons were as fragile as paper under Li Yuanba's thunderous golden hammer, shattering at the slightest touch.
The armor on his body was useless against this terrifying power, offering no resistance whatsoever.
The formation, which had been barely holding on, collapsed instantly under the onslaught of attacks and could no longer be reconstituted.
At this moment, Li Yuanba wielded the Thunder Drum Golden Hammer as if he were wielding two giant scythes, cutting through the enemy's defenses one by one.
Each strike seemed to carry the power of heaven and earth, shattering every enemy that stood in his way.
At this moment, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and others, who were leading the Da Xuan army behind Li Yuanba, looked at Li Yuanba, who was breaking through the city single-handedly, without any change in their expressions.
They stood silently at the front of the army, their gazes piercing.
Staring at the city gate that was about to be breached.
They were already used to such shocking scenes.
Since entering the territory of the Yellow Turban Army in the northern border of the Great Xuan, they have witnessed Li Yuanba's unparalleled martial prowess and unstoppable thunderous golden hammer countless times.
No city gate could withstand Li Yuanba's violent onslaught for long!
At this moment, in front of the Great Xuan army, Li Yuan, who had been appointed as the Duke of Tang of Great Xuan, stood side by side with his eldest son Li Jiancheng, second son Li Shimin, and daughter Li Xiuning. Their gazes pierced through the smoke of battle before them, as if they were watching the impending changes in the situation.
"Yuanba's bravery is indeed a blessing for our Great Xuan."
"However, the way of war cannot be determined by mere courage."
"Shimin, is it true that the Yellow Turban army under Zhu Yuanzhang has amassed a large force in the rear?"
Li Yuan's voice was calm and authoritative, revealing his admiration for Li Yuanba, but also concealing a subtle worry.
"The intelligence is conclusive; Zhu Yuanzhang's forces are indeed secretly mobilizing troops, and his intentions are self-evident."
"This battle will likely be the beginning of a decisive battle in the northern border of our Great Xuan."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's expression turned solemn. He knew his father's worries well, so he slowly replied.
"If what Shimin says is true, we must prepare as soon as possible."
"Although Yuanba's personal martial prowess is strong, war is ultimately a contest of wits and strength."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiancheng frowned. He knew that his younger brother Li Shimin was always very perceptive and that what he said was not unfounded. So he said in a deep voice.
"Father, elder brother, Xiu is willing to lead an army to scout ahead and ensure everything goes smoothly."
Li Xiuning, this valiant female general, also restrained her usual boldness at this moment, her eyes flashing with high fighting spirit.
Upon hearing this, a hint of satisfaction and appreciation flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
He knew that in this chaotic world, every member of the family bore a heavy responsibility.
"Very well! Xiuning will lead the troops to scout ahead, while Jiancheng and Shimin will accompany me to lead the main force to cover the rear."
"Yuanba's military strength is our strongest support. But remember, victory in war depends not only on individual strength, but also on the overall strength and strategy of the army."
He nodded slowly, his tone revealing a hint of solemnity.
...
Meanwhile, the Great Xuan army swept through the land like a raging flood, and Li Yuan's iron cavalry was invincible. Cities fell one after another, and battle reports flew to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk in the Yellow Turban army, making him frown and restless.
However, amidst this turbulent time, several new stars suddenly emerged under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, shining like stars in the dark night, adding an element of unpredictability to the chaotic war situation.
Among them, the most eye-catching was the return of Xie Zijing, daughter of General Xie Zaixing.
This woman displayed extraordinary martial arts skills from a young age. After studying away from home for several years, she returned to the military camp today. Her improved martial arts skills are astonishing, making her invincible in the army.
On the training ground, he was agile and his sword flashed like a dragon. Wherever he went, many generals in the army were defeated within a few rounds.
Even Zhu Tianpeng, the strongest general under Zhu Yuanzhang in the past, was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself against his fierce offensive.
After she used her unique hidden weapon, she almost took Zhu Tianpeng down in one move.
If Xie Zijing hadn't stopped at the last moment, Zhu Tianpeng would probably have died on the spot from her unique hidden weapon, turning into a handful of dust, his heroic name cut short.
