The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1688 Zhao Liangdong: "Why is he drawing his bow? Is he going to attack me?"

Guizhou, Zunyi
The army of approximately 40,000 began to set off in a long, dragon-like formation.

Looking at the cannons and various muskets captured last time, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile slightly.
Because these things haven't made much progress compared to the Ming Dynasty era.
Even the red-coated cannons that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was so proud of were nothing more than longer and thicker versions of the same thing!

Were the Manchus unaware of the rapid development happening outside? No, they were aware, even very aware!

But they were unwilling to let the Han people control these things, because that would completely overturn the rule of the Manchus!
Looking at the outdated muskets, Zhang Cheng almost laughed.
Everyone else is using flintlock muskets, and you're still using this thing in the army? Do you want to kill people?

After occupying Guizhou, Zhang Cheng immediately opened up Guangxi and "borrowed" a batch of cannons and flintlock muskets from the East India Company. He wanted to see how the Eight Banners cavalry would fight him!
Inside the Governor's Mansion in Zunyi

When Zhao Liangdong learned that Zhang Cheng, who had only rested for a few days, was leading his troops on another expedition, his face turned ashen.
Because the other party doesn't take him seriously!

However, since Zhang Cheng killed Yue Le, there is indeed no need to treat Zhao Liangdong as a human being, because this man is truly fierce!

"Pass down the order: no one is to engage in battle without authorization. I want to see how he will be utterly defeated beneath this city!"

When addressing the person beside him, Zhao Liangdong remained completely calm.

After all, Zunyi City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and due to its terrain, Zhang Cheng had no way to charge up the city.

What good is his fighting ability? Is fighting a war about bravery? It's about brains!
A dozen days later, the 40,000-strong army advanced towards Zunyi, capturing surrounding counties along the way with minimal effort.

After all, once the army arrives, someone will inevitably step forward and expose the stubborn magistrate upon hearing the news of the land redistribution.

Zhang Cheng wholeheartedly agreed with the support of his fellow villagers. After all, following the Manchus meant not only being a bondservant but also a slave.
And that's not even the worst part, because if someone just doesn't like you, they can also seize your property and steal your wife.
Zhang Cheng's appearance is telling them that people can have dignity!
"Crash!"

The flags fluttered in the wind and danced in the air.
Looking at the 40,000-strong army in the distance, Zhao Liangdong couldn't help but frown.

Even the Eight Banners cavalry, renowned for their superior field fighting capabilities, dared not venture out of the city to engage in battle.
"Da da da!"

Spurring his horse forward, Zhang Cheng stood alone at the city gate and asked, "May I ask who Zhao Liangdong is?"

"Ok?"

Looking into the distance with a puzzled expression, Zhao Liangdong raised his hand in a gesture of respect, then shouted, "I am the official! And who are you!"

Looking down, Zhao Liangdong couldn't help but ask,

"Who am I? I am Zhang Cheng, Zhang Xinzhi!"

Looking at Zhao Liangdong, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but flick the thumb ring on his thumb.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhao Liangdong immediately said, "So you are Zhang Cheng. So young, why have you become a thief? Why not surrender to the imperial court? I am willing to vouch for you, and you will surely be promoted and become wealthy in the future."

"Go to hell! You, a mere bondservant, think you can persuade me to surrender? Do you, Zhao Liangdong, think that just because you're the governor-general, you're no longer a servant? Ah! That's hilarious!"

Mocking Zhao Liangdong, Zhang Cheng continued, "You were born in the Ming Dynasty, yet you joined the Manchu army, slaughtering your own people. You're like a dog, yet you dare to persuade me to surrender. Don't you hear how laughable you are, like a spineless dog?"

Pointing at Zhao Liangdong and spewing insults, Zhang Cheng immediately roared in anger.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhao Liangdong's usual composure vanished instantly, and he roared, "Zhang Cheng, you bastard!"

"Wait, why is he drawing his bow? Is he going to attack me?"

Seeing Zhang Cheng draw his bow with a backhand motion, Zhao Liangdong was first stunned, then dumbfounded.

"Zhao Liangdong, holy crap!" Zhang Cheng aimed his bow at Zhao Liangdong and drew the bowstring taut.
"Wow!"

The arrow flew out like a meteor, heading straight for Zhao Liangdong.
Upon seeing this, the guards beside him immediately pushed him away, but he was instead pinned to the wall.
Seeing such a horrifying scene, Zhao Liangdong was also filled with fear and trepidation.
If he hadn't been pushed away, he would probably be the one pinned to the wall!
"Zhao Liangdong, you beast, come out here! Today I will not only exterminate your entire family, but I will also skin your whole family alive right in front of you!"

Zhang Cheng roared at Zhao Liangdong above, his anger rising as well.
He had originally planned to teach the other party a lesson, but who knew this old codger would try to persuade him to surrender? Zhang Cheng simply couldn't tolerate that.
"You scoundrel, you son of a bitch! What kind of skill is it to attack from the shadows? If you're so capable, then attack! If I, Zhao Liangdong, run away, I don't deserve to be the governor!"

Zhao Liangdong roared at Zhang Cheng and retorted, but he hid behind the wall and didn't dare to show his face.
Keep in mind that Zhang Cheng was at least two hundred paces away, standing atop the towering city wall.
But the opponent was able to pin a person to the wall with a single arrow. What terrifying power that is!
"Fuck."

Upon hearing Zhao Liangdong's words, Zhang Cheng immediately raised his Six Harmonies Spear and ran away.
"Wait, where did the leader go?"

"I hope the leader isn't going to attack the city!"

"what!"

Xu Xueting and the others were stunned to see Zhang Cheng charging towards Zunyi alone.

Is this how war can be fought?

Rushing over, Zhang Cheng watched as the rain of arrows fell from the wall. He immediately twirled his Six Harmonies Spear with one hand, making it appear like a curtain.
"Clang clang clang!"

The arrow was deflected, but Zhang Cheng had already reached the city gate.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangdong was dumbfounded, because was he really planning to rush in and kill him?
How is this possible? Even Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, wasn't this terrifying!

Little did Zhao Liangdong know that Zhang Cheng, who was completely enraged, had lost all reason. His strength had doubled, his intelligence had dropped to zero, and all he could think about was how to kill him!
"what!"

With a roar, Zhang Cheng swung his Six Harmonies Spear and smashed it directly at the city gate.

"boom!"

The tremors were so intense that even Zhao Liangdong, standing atop the wall, sensed something was wrong.
With such terrifying power, wouldn't he smash the city gate?
Thinking of this, Zhao Liangdong immediately shouted, "Quickly close the barbican! Quickly close the barbican!"

"Wow!"

Right after the city gate was smashed, Zhang Cheng rushed in.
When the guards of the barbican saw Zhang Cheng appear, they also had the same look of utter bewilderment as an old man on the subway, because how did he get in?

But as soon as one of them saw Zhang Cheng, he immediately exclaimed hysterically, "It's Zhang Cheng from the Ming Dynasty!"

"Crash!"

They stared at Zhang Cheng in horror, only to find the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded.
"Go away!"

With a backhand slam, Zhang Cheng sent the surrounding guards flying, then charged straight forward.
Watching Zhang Cheng wreak havoc inside the barbican, Zhao Liangdong broke out in a cold sweat.
Because he finally understood how Yue Le died. Most likely, it was because he, like himself, had a sharp tongue and provoked this beast to lose his temper!

"Zhao Liangdong! Where the hell are you?!"

An angry roar echoed throughout the barbican. Zhang Cheng brandished his Six Harmonies Spear, blood splattering everywhere.

Seeing Zhang Cheng's fierce appearance, none of the soldiers dared to approach; they all fled in panic.

Because all that money is a few taels of silver a year, is it worth risking your life? Especially fighting a monster, it's not worth it!
Seeing the soldiers rushing to retreat wherever Zhang Cheng charged, Zhao Liangdong felt a deep sense of danger.

Zhang Cheng: If you mess with me, I'll instantly lose my IQ and double my fighting power!
