My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 393: Is there still a main force?

Soon, Makaros's guards were wiped out by a battalion of soldiers led by Zhu Di. On the other side, Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong also led their troops to clean up the battlefield and pursue the remaining guards.

"Oh, God!"

Makaros was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that this land had been cursed by the devil?

Why were God's soldiers, the invincible soldiers, slaughtered by these barbarians after they set foot on the land of the East?

There was only one explanation in Makaros' mind, that is, this was a land abandoned by God, this was the devil's paradise!

Looking at the corpses of the guards all over the ground, there were only more than ten guards left on his side, and the Ming army was still approaching.

Makaros closed his eyes in despair. It was over, everything was over. He was going to be captured by the devil's minions, and they would definitely send him to hell!
At this time, Father Antonio said loudly in Macaros' ear: "Count, Count, those demons are too terrible. This place has been abandoned by God and has lost the light of the world. Let's go quickly, return to the ship, and return to the place where God's light shines!"

After Father Antonio's loud reminder, Macaros finally came to his senses and shouted hurriedly: "Quick, get back to the boat and stay away from this devil's paradise!"

Their every move was seen by Zhu Di who was advancing quickly. He immediately shouted, "Hurry up, hold on tight! Those foreigners are trying to escape!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, you can't run away!"

In a flash, the soldiers ran forward, and without the obstruction of the guards, they quickly stopped Makaros.

Makaros's guards wanted to step forward to stop the soldiers of the first battalion, but they were knocked to the ground by the soldiers with a few shots. Makaros looked at the approaching Ming soldiers in horror, and finally couldn't help but shouted in panic:
"Get out of here, you pagans, you devil-tempted pagans!"

"Your Highness, what did he say?"

The general flag looked confused and asked Zhu Di who came over. Zhu Di stared at him and said, "Do you think I can understand what he is saying?"

"I don't think Your Highness would understand." The general smiled awkwardly and asked, "What should we do next?"

"What should we do? You captured the prisoners and you're asking me what to do?" Zhu Di said angrily, "Tie these two up, escort them to the ship, and hand them over to the commander-in-chief for punishment!"

"Got it!"

The general agreed and ordered his men to borrow ropes from the nearby shop, and then tied up Macaros and Father Antonio.

"You lowly barbarians, pagans, I am the hereditary count of the Kingdom of Castile, a glorious subject of God, you cannot treat me like this!"

Makaros shouted fiercely at the Ming soldiers, but it was of no use because no one could understand what he was saying at all.

"What are you doing, you pagans? Take your blasphemous hands off my sacred body!" Father Antonio struggled and cursed the Ming army soldiers viciously.

"How dare you treat God's servants like this? You are Satan's minions. You will definitely be punished by God, and the church will not let you go!"

The two men struggled desperately and shouted fiercely at the Ming army soldiers, but it had no effect on them at all.

Scream as much as you want. No matter how loud you scream, it won't affect the speed of the Ming army's tying you up. Not only do the Ming army not understand what the two of you are saying, but even if they do, they will still say with disdain:
God? How many musket battalions does God have? Are they as powerful as the Three Pure Ones?
Zhu Di was watching the two people who were tied up and listening to their desperate shouting, but he was thinking of something completely unrelated.

When I was a child, I followed my father back to Fengyang countryside to worship our ancestors. When I watched pigs being slaughtered in the village, it seemed that the pigs also made the same noises.

At this time, Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, after cleaning up the other guards, also came to Zhu Di. Xu Huizu looked at Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Old Four, you are fast enough. You caught them in such a short time." "Hehe, dealing with a few foreigners is a piece of cake. It's easier than fighting pirates." Zhu Di smiled proudly and said, "What about you?"

"We captured a few prisoners and wiped out almost all the others. I also asked Qian Benyi to lead people to the West Coast Pier to shoot down the foreigners' boats and catch them all in one fell swoop.

But I really don’t understand, what on earth are these guys doing here?”

Xu Huizu was somewhat puzzled and said: "Just like our expedition to Srivijaya this time, we had at least 3,000 people, and that was just to fight pirates.

According to our understanding, if one wants to expand outward and send troops, the first thing to do is to prepare the troops. For example, in the past, at least 100,000 troops were sent out at a time. Even after being equipped with firearms such as needle-shot guns, there would be at least tens of thousands of troops going out to fight each time.

It is not reasonable for these foreigners to come here in numbers of several hundred at a time and just want to conquer the land!"

When Zhu Di heard this, his mind immediately turned to the past. He clapped his hands as if he had remembered something important.

"Brother-in-law, are you saying that these guys are scouts and there are main forces behind them? Then we must report to the commander-in-chief immediately and make full preparations to meet the enemy!"

Xu Huizu shook his head and said, "That's not right. If they were scouts, would they have publicized it so loudly in a crowded market? And they also did the work of enclosing the land? They shouldn't be scouts."

At this time, Li Jinglong pointed at Makaros and interrupted, "Fourth uncle, Grandfather Hui, look at that guy, he is dressed like a gentleman, completely different from the other people holding knives and guns, the fabric of his clothes looks much better, and there are silk woven edges on his clothes.

You think this guy might be a prince who escaped from some royal family and came to Temasek to occupy a mountain? He fled, so he brought such a small force with him. "

"That makes sense, nephew!" Zhu Di couldn't help but praise him when he heard it. "It seems that nephew's brain is still very useful."

"As the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, you have to use your brain!" Li Jinglong said proudly.

"Go, you're out of breath after praising me for a few words." Zhu Di rolled his eyes at him and ordered his soldiers, "Take these two back to the ship and interrogate them thoroughly!"

"As you command, Your Highness!"

Seeing the Ming army soldiers tying him and Father Antonio up, and now not knowing where they were taking him, Makaros felt gloomy in his heart.

I'm doomed. I wonder how these barbarians will treat me. Will they tie me to a cross and burn me at the stake, or take me to the guillotine?

Or, face hell?

Makaros was disheartened. As a hereditary count, he had never expected to fall into the hands of these pagans. Although he was resentful, he could do nothing.

I don’t know whether I will get a fair trial. No, maybe these barbarians and pagans don’t know what justice and trial mean!

Unlike Macaros, Father Antonio thought that these pagans would use all kinds of despicable and dirty means to tempt him to give up his faith in God and make him degenerate into a follower of Satan!

They will definitely use the means of succubus to seduce me. Lord, I am your most loyal and firm believer. Please don't abandon me, abandon this lost lamb!

After a while, the two were escorted to the east coast dock by Ming army soldiers. When they saw the huge steel ship that was like towering mountains, they were stunned.

What, what is this, is it a boat?
