My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 391 Taking Prisoners

Who are they? Are they the guards of the indigenous chief of this place?
Makaros was a little confused, but he did not take the approaching Ming army seriously. There was nothing to be surprised about the armed forces of a barbaric land.

From a distance, those people were wearing funny colorful clothes and holding wooden sticks. Could it be that these barbarians couldn't use iron as weapons?
It seems that they are really a group of barbaric and uncivilized natives!
"Your Highness, we are here!"

The soldiers of the first battalion rushed to the West Market and soon found Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong surrounded by the crowd. After seeing that the three were fine, they felt relieved and ran over quickly.

At this time, Qian Benyi also came with some soldiers from the second battalion. After seeing Xu Huizu, he stepped forward and said, "Young Master, we are here. What's going on?"

The soldiers from the first and second battalions gathered together and were about to step forward to rescue the three people, but they were stopped by some strange men wearing chain mail and helmets.

"Kid, where did you come from? Do you dare to stop me, your grandfather?"

Qian Benyi was immediately furious. He glared at Makaros's guards. Now he understood why Xu Huizu had called him here in such a hurry. It turned out that it was this group of blind guys who stopped the young master.

My goodness, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the number of people who can stop these three at the same time can be counted on one hand, including Your Majesty, Empress Ma, Duke Wei, and Duke Cao. Li Wenzhong and the Fourth Prince are of the same generation, and the Fourth Prince may not necessarily give him face sometimes.

This group of barbarians who came out of nowhere just stopped these three people?

The general flag of the first battalion also asked Zhu Di, "Your Highness, was it this group of blind people who stopped you?"

Zhu Di nodded calmly, and the general suddenly became angry, even more irritable than Qian Benyi. He hit a guard on the head with the butt of his rifle, knocking the helmet off his head, revealing a face that he had never seen before.

"Where the hell did this red-haired devil come from?" The general was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted at Makaros's guards: "I don't care where you came from, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The guard whose helmet was knocked off suddenly realized after a moment of trance that he was beaten. He was immediately furious. How dare these damn barbarians launch a sneak attack?
He drew out his double-edged broadsword angrily, glared at the general and said, "You despicable barbarian, I will chop you in half!"

"Oh, you still dare to draw your sword?"

The general flag immediately raised his gun and aimed it at the guards, while the other soldiers from the first and second battalions also quickly raised their guns and instantly aimed at the armored guards.

The royal guards also surrounded the Ming army and confronted them.

Looking at the guards in front of him, wearing chain mail that they had long since discarded, he felt a little funny in his heart. Did these guys think that chain mail could block bullets?

Even if you're wearing heavy armor, I can still beat you through!

If they had not been concerned about the possibility of hurting Zhu Di and the other two, they would have opened fire long ago.

Makaros, who was standing in the distance, watched all this. When he saw the Ming army raising their guns, he immediately realized that those were not wooden sticks, but matchlock guns.

It turns out that the barbarian army used matchlock guns. It seems that the people in this place are not as uncivilized as I imagined!

However, a scornful smile appeared on Makaros' face. Looking at the Ming army standing in twos and threes and not forming neat formations, he knew that these barbarians must not have received any training in spear teams.

Matchlock guns were a waste in the hands of these barbarians! He immediately ordered the guards to quickly get rid of this group of barbarian troops and let these barbarians see the power of the civilized world!

After receiving Makaros' order, the guards immediately formed several rows of musketeers and began to load powder and bullets into the barrels in an orderly manner, preparing to shoot at the Ming army.

Makaros grinned with a confident smile, and said, "Let these barbarians see how to use the matchlock gun correctly!"
However, what happened next left him dumbfounded. It was completely beyond his expectations!

Seeing Makaros's guards starting to line up and then taking out gunpowder bags to load gunpowder into the gun barrels, the Ming army soldiers were still a little confused before they realized that they were loading gunpowder into the muskets!
"These foreigners are ready to shoot, everyone shoot immediately, don't give them a chance to reload!"

Following Qian Benyi's order, the soldiers of the Second Battalion pulled the triggers instantly. "Bang, bang, bang," as the crisp sounds rang out, a large number of Makaros' guards fell down before they even finished loading the gunpowder.

The sudden change surprised everyone. The surviving guards looked at everything in front of them in astonishment. What on earth had just happened?
However, the Ming army did not give them any chance to think. They fired continuously, and those holding swords or muskets fell in a pool of blood.

Within two rounds of shooting, Makaros's guards were completely defeated, and the soldiers of the first battalion took the opportunity to rescue Zhu Di, Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong.

Zhu Di took the guns and ammunition handed over by the soldiers, pointed at Makaros, and ordered the soldiers: "Did you see that guy? He should be the leader of this group of foreigners. Come with me to capture him alive!"

"My subordinate understands!"

The soldiers of the first battalion answered in unison.

"Old Four, wait a minute!"

Xu Huizu grabbed Zhu Di, and Zhu Di turned around and looked at Xu Huizu blankly, "Brother-in-law, what do you want me to do?"

"The public monk was also captured alive. It seems that his status is not low." Xu Huizu said quickly.

"Okay, brother-in-law, just leave it to me!"

As he said this, Zhu Di led the impatient Li Jinglong and the first battalion of soldiers to attack Makaros, while Xu Huizu led the second battalion to continue to encircle and suppress the royal guards.

At this time, the royal guards had been completely stunned by the powerful firepower of the Ming army. They had never seen a musket with such fierce firepower. No, that was not a musket, that was a weapon from hell!

They had been so arrogant just now, but now facing the Ming army, they were beaten without any chance to fight back. In their eyes, the Ming army before them were completely devils from hell!
Makaros's face was filled with horror, and his arrogance was completely gone. Are these barbarian armies using weapons given by Satan?

Damn it, all these pagans should go to hell!

This was completely different from what he had expected. Shouldn't these barbarians be frightened and flee in panic in front of his powerful musketeers, just like in Africa?
The priest next to him kept making the sign of the cross on his chest and chanting "God forgive his sins" and so on.

At this moment, Makaros saw a group of Ming soldiers running towards him at a rapid speed, and the leader was looking at him with such eager eyes.

It’s like... a hungry man seeing a table full of delicious food!
