Chapter 339: The Defeat of the Suzaku Guard
Looking at the "Suzaku Guards" wearing fiery red armor who suddenly appeared on the top of the city.
Jiang Chen, who was behind Du Mingyu's army, smiled slightly and sighed softly.
"Huh, we finally managed to force out one of these mysterious 'Four Secret Guards'."
"Yuan Yi, go tell Du Mingyu."
"Let him show me his true abilities. I want to see."
"Are the four great secret guards of Beiming stronger, or are our northern border soldiers more powerful?"
Following Jiang Chen's order, Li Yuanyi on the side took the order and left.
Soon, Li Yuanyi conveyed Jiang Chen's order to Du Mingyu.
After receiving Jiang Chen's order, Du Mingyu smiled slightly and said to Li Yuanyi.
"Brother Yuanyi, go back and tell the lord."
"Let him wait and see. I won't let him down!"
After saying that, Du Mingyu waved his hand and led the soldiers behind him.
He rushed directly up the ladder and reached the city wall of Chunning City.
Du Mingyu brandished the sword in his hand and led the Northern Territory soldiers behind him to kill the "Suzaku Guards".
Facing Du Mingyu who was rushing towards him with hundreds of Northern soldiers.
The leader of the "Suzaku Guard" shook his head in disdain and pulled out a fiery red whip from his waist.
After pulling out the whip, the leader of the "Suzaku Guard".
He then whipped Du Mingyu straight at him with the whip!
Hearing the "whoosh" sound of the long whip, Du Mingyu quickly turned slightly to the side.
Just by slightly turning his body, Du Mingyu easily avoided the long whip.
Seeing Du Mingyu dodged his attack easily.
A look of disbelief flashed across the face of the leader of the "Suzaku Guard".
He couldn't believe that Du Mingyu could actually dodge his attack as a Hua Jin warrior!
Looking at the commander of the "Suzaku Guard" who was standing there in a daze, he seemed a little bit unbelieving.
Du Mingyu smiled slightly, raised the sword in his hand, and rushed towards the opponent.
Before the other party could come to his senses, an aura that was no weaker than the other party's rose from Du Mingyu.
Feeling the sudden aura rising from Du Mingyu, the leader of the "Suzaku Guard" came back to his senses.
"This guy is actually a martial artist at the Huajin level!?"
The leader of the "Suzaku Guard", who discovered Du Mingyu's true martial arts realm, quickly raised the whip in his hand.
He swung at the waist of Du Mingyu who was rushing towards him, but the next scene happened.
However, it directly surprised the leader of the "Suzaku Guard" once again!
Only to be seen, under the shocked gaze of the leader of the "Suzaku Guards".
Du Mingyu lightly blocked the whip with his sword and swung it away.
Then, Du Mingyu continued to swing his sword.
He chopped towards the neck of the leader of the "Suzaku Guard"!
Seeing their commander so vigorous, the morale of the soldiers in the North was boosted.
Under the leadership of Du Mingyu, there were only a few hundred soldiers from the Northern Territory.
For a moment, he was actually standing on the south wall of Chunning City.
Withstood the attack of 10,000 Suzaku secret guards and a group of imperial guards!
This scene made Jiang Chen, who was standing on the top of the city watching the battle, stunned.
" Good fellow, this fellow Du Mingyu has lived up to his name of 'reckless general' at all."
Jiang Chen spoke with deep emotion while shaking his head helplessly.
Listening to Jiang Chen's feelings towards Du Mingyu, Li Yuanyi on the side also said in agreement.
"My lord, what you said is absolutely true. General Du was truly a fierce general at that time!"
Just when Jiang Chen and Li Yuanyi were marveling at Du Mingyu's bravery.
The situation on the top of the city began to tilt towards Du Mingyu's side.
After Du Mingyu led his men to resist the Northern Ming defenders on the top of the city.
Countless Northern soldiers began to attack the South Gate!
Seeing this scene, the leader of the Suzaku Guard suddenly became panicked.
"Quick, quick, beat them all down for me, Commander!"
"We can't let these northerners attack Chunning City. Kill them all!"
Under the loud and stern shout from the leader of the "Suzaku Guards", all the Suzaku Guards had to try their best.
Under the command of their leader, the Suzaku Guards were forced to raise their fighting spirit.
Waving their weapons, the Suzaku Guards gradually regained their footing.
The balance of war began to tilt back towards the Suzaku Guards and the Northern Ming Imperial Guards.
Seeing this, Du Mingyu decisively chopped down several Suzaku Guards who were rushing over with one sword.
Then, he turned around and shouted loudly to the group of Northern soldiers behind him.
"Retreat, everyone, retreat! We have achieved our goal !"
Following Du Mingyu's order, the Northern soldiers on the city wall showed no desire to fight.
He simply left the opponent in front of him and returned to the city via the ladder.
After the northern army withdrew, the leader of the "Suzaku Guard" looked at Du Mingyu, who had retreated to the city, with a grim look on his face.
"Go and see how many casualties our brothers have suffered!"
"Yes, my Lord Commander."
As one of the four major secret guards of Beiming, the commander of the "Suzaku Guard" had never suffered such a loss as today.
Soon, the casualties of the Suzaku Guards and the Imperial Guards were counted.
"Commander-in-chief, the casualties have been counted."
The captain of the Suzaku Guard bowed respectfully to his commander and said.
Upon hearing that the casualties had been counted, the commander of the "Suzaku Guard" spoke directly without any hesitation.
"Read the results of the statistics to this commander!"
"Yes, my Lord Commander, in this battle, eight hundred of my 'Suzaku Secret Guards' were killed."
"One thousand soldiers guarding the South City Gate were killed, and one hundred and thirty-seven of my 'Suzaku Secret Guards' were seriously injured."
Following the order from the leader of the Suzaku Guard, the captain hurriedly reported.
Upon hearing about the casualties, the face of the commander of the Suzaku Guard gradually turned pale.
"Where are the enemy troops from the north? How many bodies did they leave behind?!"
The commander of the Suzaku Guard rubbed his head and continued to ask the captain.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, our army has eliminated a total of 132 enemy troops in the north."
Faced with the question from his commander, the centurion hesitantly gave a number.
Hearing this familiar sound, the leader of the Suzaku Guards became completely uneasy.
"What!?"
"Our army suffered so many casualties, but the enemy in the north only lost more than a hundred people!"
"Damn it! How can this commander go to meet the other three secret guards' commanders?!"
The leader of the "Suzaku Guard" yelled curses at the Northern Ming Imperial Guards and the Suzaku Secret Guards under his command on the city wall.
This unexpected result has made him completely lose his mind.
Now he really wanted to rush out of the city with his Suzaku Secret Guards.
Kill Du Mingyu and all the northern soldiers under his command to vent his anger!
