Chapter 306 The Power of the Dragon and Elephant, Slaughtering All Sides (Part 2)

On the deck of the "Datang" super warship, the lead ship (command ship) of the Tang Dynasty's naval fleet, were Qi Jiguang, the naval admiral and Duke of Dingguo, and Yuan Kai, the deputy naval admiral and Marquis of Tongwu.

Each of them held a monocular telescope, their eyes fixed on everything happening at the Nanpu Port wharf and on the mudflats. The expressions on their faces changed with the changing situation of the enemy and their own forces on the battlefield, sometimes with furrowed brows and sometimes with broad smiles.

In particular, when the two witnessed firsthand how Chen Longxiang, the Prince of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, who served as the vanguard of the navy, single-handedly turned the tide of the battle and routed the Goguryeo navy, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, the Prince of Jin, is the bravest in the entire army!"

"Grand Commander, something terrible has happened—"

Suddenly, Vice Admiral Yuan Kai exclaimed, "Reinforcements! The Goguryeo naval reinforcements on the dock are all heading towards Prince Jin!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang's expression immediately became serious, and he hurriedly widened the field of view of his monocular telescope, looking towards the direction of Nanpu Port.

As expected, the entire Goguryeo naval reserve force stationed at the dock was mobilized, numbering at least tens of thousands of soldiers.

Moreover, these tens of thousands of Goguryeo reinforcements seemed to have received some kind of order, and all rushed towards the battle area where Prince Chen Longxiang of Jin was located.

Even more worrying was that this Goguryeo reinforcement force also included a cavalry unit of several hundred men, led by a Goguryeo general in armor and a helmet, who were heading straight for Prince Chen Longxiang of Jin with murderous intent.

not good!

Qi Jiguang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the target of these Goguryeo reinforcements was His Highness Prince Jin on the battlefield!

As the saying goes: Two fists can't beat four hands, and even a fierce tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves.

Moreover, Goguryeo's reinforcements also included cavalry!

Despite his naval background, Qi Jiguang knew exactly what it meant for cavalry to fight infantry (it meant slaughter)!

For a moment, Qi Jiguang began to panic.

He hurriedly ordered, "Someone come here—"

"Pass down the order: the fleet's warships must approach Nampo Port at all costs, and dispatch all the landing craft to reinforce the vanguard."

"Red-coated cannons, cease shelling Nanpu Port to avoid accidental injury to Jin troops and frontline vanguards;"

In the end, Qi Jiguang did not utter the words "accidentally injured Prince Jin." Instead, he turned to his deputy Yuan Kai and lowered his voice, saying, "Deputy General Yuan, you will personally lead my left and right detachments to land in small boats and ensure the safety of Prince Jin!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

......

At the same time, on the mudflats outside the Nanpu Port wharf, where the two sides were fighting.

General Chen Longxiang, the vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty's naval fleet, lifted a pair of golden hammers with both hands and carried them on his shoulders. Who knows how his skinny, stick-like body could so easily carry a pair of hammers weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Facing the overwhelming force of 10,000 Goguryeo reinforcements, Chen Longxiang stood firm, showing no fear. Instead, his fighting spirit and determination were ignited, and his arrogant gaze revealed a resolute and unwavering resolve to slay all enemies under his twin hammers.

Clang, clang, clang!

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder as they approached.

It was Lee Jung-min, the vice admiral of the Goguryeo navy, who personally led his 800 cavalrymen, their target being that particularly eye-catching golden figure in the battle zone between the two sides.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up!

Three hundred steps!

Two hundred steps!

One hundred steps!

Seeing that Li Zhengmin's cavalry was less than a hundred paces away from Chen Longxiang, Li Zhengmin, as the single arrowhead of the cavalry wedge formation charge, continued to pound his horse's belly, making it accelerate and accelerate.

Behind him were the Goguryeo naval cavalry, closely following the guidance of Vice Admiral Li Zhengmin, determined to crush the Tang army's vanguard commander into a pile of flesh with the iron hooves of their warhorses.

They gripped their horses tightly, clenched their swords, and accelerated as they had in training, striving to keep their warhorses from falling behind.

As the 800-strong Goguryeo cavalry drew ever closer, they saw it getting closer and closer.

They could even clearly see the ferocious expression on the face of the Goguryeo general clad in gleaming armor, and the cold glint of the spear tip in his hand.

Standing proudly between the two armies, Chen Longxiang, the vanguard general of the Tang Dynasty navy and Prince of Jin, did not retreat a single step, his young face filled with pride and disdain.

The warhorse, charging at full speed, arrived in an instant, covering a distance of less than a hundred paces.

snort!

Chen Long snorted coldly, then dragged the two golden hammers he was carrying on his shoulder forward, and his whole body sped forward as if by inertia.

At the same time, Li Zhengmin, the deputy commander of the Goguryeo navy, who had galloped up to Chen Longxiang's side, also brandished his spear and thrust it fiercely at the golden figure who was so close at hand.

Clang—

A sharp, resounding crack shook the heavens and earth.

That was the metallic clang of the golden hammer in Chen Longxiang's hand colliding fiercely with the spear in Li Zhengmin's hand.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhengmin felt a sharp pain in the web of his hand gripping the gun, as if it had cracked.

Then, he suddenly found himself seemingly flying through the air, with everything in front of him spinning and jumping, even the sun and the sea level seemed to be reversed.

No, Li Zhengmin suddenly realized that it wasn't just himself flying through the air, but also the fine steed he had spent a fortune to bring back from the Western Regions from Yanqi.

At that moment, Li Zhengmin felt as if time and space had almost frozen, and everything had become so slow.

It wasn't until he caught glimpses of his own cavalrymen flying through the air that Li Zhengmin came to his senses. He realized that he and his horse had been sent flying into the air by a hammer blow from a fierce Tang general.

Not only him, but also his cavalrymen were all sent flying into the air by the fierce general of the Tang navy, one by one, with their horses in tow.

How... how is this possible?

This... this world actually has such a fierce general. A cavalryman, along with his horse, weighing a thousand pounds, was actually knocked away by him with a single hammer blow.

Ah, damn it!

Is this even human?

Boom!

With a deafening roar, Li Zhengmin, who had been sent flying by Chen Longxiang's hammer along with his horse, finally returned to the ground. However, he was heavily crushed on top of his Yanqi steed, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly beyond saving!

Even on his deathbed, Lee Jung-min's peripheral vision remained fixed on the golden figure that moved through the Goguryeo army as if it were nothing.

In just a short while, eight hundred Goguryeo cavalrymen were killed or wounded by Chen Longxiang's thunderous golden hammer.

Soon, the 10,000 Goguryeo naval reinforcements also arrived in the battle zone, attempting to trap and overwhelm Chen Longxiang through sheer numbers.

However, Chen Longxiang, who was born with superhuman strength, became more and more courageous in battle, just like a god descending to earth. The pair of golden hammers in his hands were like two golden lightning bolts, shuttling back and forth among the enemy troops, and were invincible.

Tens of thousands of Goguryeo naval officers and soldiers could not get close to Chen Longxiang. They could only watch helplessly as their comrades fell one after another, their eyes filled with increasing fear and despair.

In the end, this chaotic battle turned into a major defeat for the Goguryeo naval officers and soldiers stationed at the Nampo Port and on the beach.

Chen Longxiang, the vanguard commander of the Tang Dynasty navy, wielded two hammers and chased after tens of thousands of Goguryeo naval officers and soldiers who were fleeing in panic. He would strike each one with his hammer, sending another flying into the air with each blow.

Such heaven-defying divine power and martial prowess are truly unstoppable in his presence, capable of killing gods and Buddhas alike!

On the deck of the "Datang" super warship, the lead ship (command ship) of the Tang Dynasty's naval fleet, Qi Jiguang was always keeping a close eye on the battlefield with a monocular telescope.

Watching Prince Chen Longxiang's valiant performance on the battlefield, one couldn't help but swallow hard and exclaim, "Your Highness Prince Jin is truly the greatest war god of the Tang Dynasty!"
