The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 293 Attack on Goryeo
"I guess this alliance made him feel that he has become stronger, so he has become much more arrogant than before!"

The group was somewhat surprised to hear this, but upon reflection, it did seem to make sense.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo looked down on it and even believed that it could attack the Ming. However, as the Ming Dynasty grew stronger and stronger and wiped out all the tribes on the grasslands, Goryeo realized its own strength and began to seek peace with the Ming. Now, several countries have formed an alliance to deal with the Ming together, but this makes them feel that they are still a powerful country. Now they have become arrogant again. The group of people are speechless. How can there be such a country in the world? It is truly ridiculous.

At this time, the Goryeo navy also discovered the Ming warships.

By the time their general realized what was happening, he immediately ordered his navy to set sail and attack the Ming Dynasty.

He was extremely excited. He had been training his troops for a thousand days to use them for one day. This was his first time fighting against the Ming Dynasty. If he fought well enough, His Majesty might reward him.

Once all their navy had reached the water, they stared in disbelief at the Ming warships. They had never seen such enormous ships before, and were speechless with astonishment. The Goryeo general, now devoid of any courage, was utterly terrified. He had only guessed that the Ming warships were large, but he hadn't imagined they would be this massive. The Goryeo general took a deep breath, filled with deep regret. Had he known the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, he shouldn't have opposed them. Now, he might really die here. He cursed all the envoys who wanted to fight the Ming Dynasty and ally with the various tribes of the grasslands. Those guys truly deserved to die. If they had the guts, they should fight the Ming Dynasty themselves. How could they possibly know how strong the Ming Dynasty really was?

At this moment, a general standing beside him looked at the Ming army with some fear and asked the general a question.

"General, shall we continue fighting?"

At this moment, the general gritted his teeth.

"beat!"

"Of course!"

"If we don't fight, how am I supposed to explain this to the King when I get back? He should issue an order for all the fleets to charge immediately and attack the Ming fleet directly. I refuse to believe that all of the Ming's warships are made of iron and that not a single one can be destroyed!"

"Our ships may be small, but they are agile. As long as we get close to the Ming fleet, we can wipe them out, and maybe even take their ships back!"

Once the order was given, the soldiers gritted their teeth and charged forward.

Seeing these people rushing towards him, everyone's eyes were full of disdain, thinking they were really courting death. Wu Liang looked at his deputy general beside him and gave the order.

"Order the troops to open fire immediately and clear out all the ships in front. Don't they want to build a navy?"

"Then let me see what their navy is really like?" Soon after these words were spoken, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the sea.

The soldiers who had been desperately advancing suddenly gasped in shock.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ships began to explode, and many warships were blown to pieces.

The Goryeo soldiers gasped at the sight; they had never seen such a large-scale operation before.

"Good heavens, what a loud sound! Could it be a god descending to earth?!"

"I told you we shouldn't provoke the Ming Dynasty! They're too powerful; we're no match for them. Let's run away!"

These words acted like a fuse, and the Goryeo soldiers who had been advancing fearlessly just moments before began to flee in terror, one by one as if they had lost their souls.

The Goryeo general's face was extremely grim; his soldiers had already completely routed the moment the battle began. Several other commanding officers standing nearby were trembling with fear.

"General, we can't continue fighting. Our army is far too weak compared to the Ming Dynasty. If we keep fighting like this, we'll be completely wiped out!"

Upon hearing this, the general immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

"You think I don't know that those damned guys are all so arrogant, thinking they can beat the Ming Dynasty? They really don't know their own strength. How could we possibly deal with the Ming Dynasty's power!"

"Order all troops to retreat immediately, as many as possible to escape. Also, report this matter to the King at once!"

There was no need for the general to command these Goryeo soldiers; they ran as fast as rabbits.

This left Prince Zhu Gang of Jin and Marquis Wu Liang of Jiangyin somewhat bewildered.

"Aren't the Goryeo soldiers supposed to be highly trained elite troops?"

"And Goryeo has always boasted about how powerful its navy is, is that all it has to offer?"

Both of them found it unbelievable; had this battle been won too easily? But the situation before them certainly didn't seem fake.

Prince Zhu Gang of Jin looked cautious.

"Do you think these Koreans might be hiding something?"

Marquis Wu Liang of Jiangyin said.

I think it's unlikely!

"Given that all their troops should be concentrated in this one place now, the possibility of them ambushing us is not very high!"

"Besides, even if we are ambushed, with the weapons we are equipped, they are not capable of dealing with us. We can still retreat to the ship. As long as our Ming treasure ship is still there, it is equivalent to having a solid sea support fortress!"

“These people are definitely no match for us.”

Upon hearing this, the two nodded and immediately ordered their troops to charge forward.

When they reached the city below, they found only a few scattered garrison troops on the city walls, and many soldiers who had just escaped from the port were rushing inside.

The two men's eyes lit up at the sight, and they immediately ordered their troops to charge forward. A cavalry unit, armed with muskets, led the charge.

The soldiers on the city wall saw the Ming army rushing in and were extremely anxious to drive away the soldiers who wanted to enter the city. However, these soldiers knew that staying outside meant certain death, so they dared not stay. As a result, a strife broke out at the city gate, and the Ming army took advantage of this opportunity to rush in and occupy the city.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army began to advance towards other cities. These cities were not tall or fortified cities; to them, they were just ordinary county towns. Not to mention having the opportunity to capture the city, even without this opportunity, their army and artillery alone were more than capable of taking down the place.
