Li Zhu looked at the muscular archer in front of him and nodded in satisfaction…
"Brothers, I know you're wondering why I made you train for so long to shoot arrows with bamboo tubes, because it was all for this moment..."
I will show the rebels in Jin what divine punishment is, and you are the warriors who will lead me to carry out this divine punishment…”
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, all the soldiers proudly raised their heads. Being chosen to be the executors of divine punishment was something to be truly proud of...
"See that forest ahead? Thirty thousand elite troops are hidden there..."
Upon hearing that 30,000 elite troops were about to attack, the archers, who had been kept under protection, showed a hint of panic on their faces, but they tried their best to control themselves. Having just been chosen as the executors of divine punishment, they couldn't appear too cowardly...
Are you scared?
Li Zhu looked at everyone and asked in return!
"No…"
The sparse responses actually reflected their true feelings at that moment…
"Aren't you scared?"
Li Zhu roared, even using the Lion's Roar technique, his words seeming to explode in everyone's ears...
This gave everyone a jolt of energy, and their eyes immediately lit up with a sharp light as they roared in unison.
"I'm not afraid!"
Li Zhu nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject and said...
"I know you're scared, that's normal, but after today you'll understand that you are the most terrifying being. From now on, enemies will tremble at the mere mention of your names. So cherish this feeling of fear, because you'll never feel it again..."
They didn't understand what Li Zhu meant, but it made each of them stand tall and face death with much more composure!
Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently built up, Li Zhu prepared to go all out...
Just then, the Marquis arrived at his side with a secret letter. He knew that the letter contained very important information, otherwise the Marquis would not have bothered him at this time…
Li Zhu opened the secret letter, and his expression turned somewhat grim as he read its contents…
"Is all this information contributed by Zhu Zhen?"
Li Zhu asked solemnly!
"Yes, in order to save his own life, he even wrote down the exact positions Zhu Wen used when he was having sex with his daughter-in-law, the words he said, and the expressions on their faces..."
Upon hearing the Marquis's words, Li Zhu couldn't help but ask...
"Is Zhu Wen really so open about his actions? Why didn't I see any mention of Zhu Wen and his daughter-in-law?"
"I felt that the information was worthless, so I destroyed it..."
"Cough cough..."
Li Zhu was so angry he almost couldn't breathe. He thought to himself, "This is what's truly valuable! In this damned era, there's practically no entertainment. People are going crazy. And now that we finally have something to keep us entertained, it's been destroyed..."
However, he could only feel helpless and frustrated. He couldn't very well tell the Marquis that he wanted to see a few things about Zhu Wen and his daughter-in-law, could he?
"Alright, you can go now..."
Li Zhu was worried that he might lose control and kill that bastard, the Marquis...
"General Wang, arrange the defenses of the other three city gates..."
Li Zhu put away the message in his hand and gave an order to Wang Yanzhang, who was not far away.
It was wartime, so Wang Yanzhang didn't go looking for trouble with Zhao Feng. However, the two glared at each other, neither speaking to the other...
Upon hearing Li Zhu's order, Wang Yanzhang snorted coldly at Zhao Feng, ignored Li Zhu's words, and turned to carry out the order...
This left Li Zhu feeling helpless. He hadn't expected that one of his two generals would harbor such resentment because of his prank, and he felt he had gone too far...
Flames shot skyward!
Then shouts of killing came from the woods…
As the Jin soldiers drew ever closer, Li Zhu took a deep breath. To be honest, he felt a pang of fear looking at the massive crowd; after all, it was the first time he'd seen so many people charging towards him with weapons, and the sight was quite impactful…
However, he didn't show it. Instead, he took the bow and arrow from Zhao Feng's hand, lit the fuse of the bamboo tube, and fired the first downgraded grenade of this era...
"Descend, my divine punishment..."
Everyone stared at the arrow Li Zhu had shot, which traced a beautiful parabola in mid-air…
The arrows landed in front of the charging Jin soldiers, but missed everyone, leaving the archers on the city wall completely bewildered. Some even began to wonder if their crown prince had lost his mind...
The charging Jin soldiers didn't even glance at the arrow; some even mocked the New Tang soldiers for their weakness, managing to shoot the arrow so far...
But then something shocking happened: the moment Li Zhu opened his arms and turned his back to the city, a deafening roar resounded…
Whether inside or outside the city, seeing Li Zhu at this moment evoked a feeling of looking up to a god…
"Divine punishment..."
The archers inside the city muttered to themselves, watching the wounded soldiers lying on the ground screaming in agony, deeply shocked. The Jin troops outside the city were also somewhat slowed down by the explosion…
"Soldiers of Jin, this is nothing but a tactic by the enemy to intimidate us. Our people have already defeated the enemy from within. Do not be afraid, charge!"
Zhu Yougui shouted loudly at the soldiers who were slow to advance!
Inspired by their commander's words, the soldiers charged forward once more with roars of excitement...
The archers on the city wall finally understood what Li Zhu meant. That was the last time they felt fear; they would never feel it again, because they were the ones who instilled fear in the enemy…
"Brothers, from this day forward, you are my Heavenly Punishment Army, under Li Zhu. In the name of the Crown Prince of the New Tang Dynasty and in the name of the gods, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Heavenly Punishment Army!"
"Divine punishment..."
"Divine punishment..."
"Divine punishment..."
All the archers cheered excitedly; they finally had their own name: the Punisher of Heaven – Heavenly Punishment!
"Let the enemy know your strength, fire the arrows..."
With a thunderous roar from Li Zhu, arrows with lit fuses flew up from the city wall…
The sound of arrows piercing the air echoed through the sky. The Jin soldiers stopped and looked up as arrows rained down upon them...
The thought of the arrow that had just exploded chilled the Jin soldiers to the bone…
They wanted to escape, but with so many people spread out, even turning around was a problem, let alone having a chance to escape...
They could only watch helplessly as the rain of arrows fell, and in their despair, they heard the explosions before losing consciousness…
Li Zhu felt a pang of pity, but this was war, a war where it was either you die or I die…
Humanitarian disasters are inevitable whenever there is war…
For the soldiers of the New Tang Dynasty, what they were witnessing could only be described as shocking…
The power of firearms was unleashed at that moment, and with each explosion came countless screams...
