Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Rain and snow, early morning in winter.

The sky over the capital was covered with dark clouds and the wind was blowing coldly.

Chu Ze hurried to the palace, only to see Zhu Yuanzhang pacing anxiously on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, I have come here in compliance with your order. May I know if there is any urgent military information?" Chu Ze stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"Hey, good that you're here." Zhu Yuanzhang's frown finally relaxed a little. He motioned Chu Ze to sit down and said in a deep voice, "The reports are overwhelming. The Tatars are invading on a large scale. This time they are no longer harassing the border like before, but are deliberately invading on a large scale. It seems that they want to seize the heartland of our Ming Dynasty! Commander Sun said that if we don't send a large army to support us, I'm afraid we will lose the fortress!"

After hearing this, Chu Ze couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Over the years, although the imperial court has sent troops to clear out the rebellion every time, the Tatars have always been causing trouble.

But if this is really the general attack they have been planning for a long time, then there will be big problems.

"Your Majesty, I think we should not act rashly for now." Chu Ze said slowly, "We should first find out the Tatars' intentions and see whether they are just coveting their power or are afraid of everything."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Chu Ze pointed to the military map on the table and said, "Although we have made great achievements in the northwest border in the past few years, our actual defense line is too far forward. Now that the enemy has suddenly launched an attack, it is probably because they have revealed their true colors and are making a desperate attempt."

"I'm worried that this move of theirs may be a trap. If we rashly send out troops, we will fall into a trap. It is better to send a small team of elite soldiers to spy on the enemy in secret and find out their strengths and weaknesses. As long as we can hold our breath, we will be able to take advantage of the enemy's weakness and deliver a fatal blow!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly enlightened when he heard Chu Ze's words. That's right, it seems that he was too hasty today. If he could set up a careful layout for such an opportunity, he would not only win completely, but also make the Tatars reform and never dare to offend the Ming Dynasty again.

"My dear minister, you have great foresight, but I am blind!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then shouted: "Come here, quickly pass on my order to dispatch the elite troops of the Tiger Guards to support Commander Sun. The rest of the army should not move for the time being and be on high alert!"

The eunuchs on the side heard the noise and hurried over to do it. Seeing this, Chu Ze was also relieved. This is good, let the vanguard troops test the enemy situation and see what the Tatars are up to. Then we can decide the life and death plan and win back the game!

……

The border military fortress where Commander Sun is stationed stands brightly in this wild Gobi desert.

One morning, the guards on duty suddenly noticed a cloud of dust rolling in from afar, followed by the faint sound of horse hooves, which was terrifying.

"Hurry up and report to the commander-in-chief, there may be an enemy!" The guards hurriedly reported.

Upon hearing the news, Commander Sun immediately mobilized his troops to prepare for battle on the top of the city.

Sure enough, after the dust settled, a mighty cavalry had arrived at the foot of the city. A burly man in the lead waved his hand to stop the cavalry behind him and shouted, "Commander-in-chief, show up quickly and prepare to die! Otherwise, I will attack the city and plunder the land!"

"Hey, the enemy general is crazy! How dare he attack my camp directly! Everyone, be ready! I wonder what else he can do!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Sun hurriedly ordered his men to be on high alert.

There were cannons everywhere on the city walls, corners of walls, and account offices, and heavy black cannons were mounted on the arrow towers.

Serving beside Commander Sun were all strong men with eagle-eyed and wolf-like eyes.

When the big men among the cavalrymen at the foot of the city saw this situation, their arrogance suddenly plummeted and their faces became panic-stricken.

How could this be possible? This commander surnamed Sun was well prepared! As he was hesitating, a cannon suddenly blasted, shaking the earth.

I saw a huge cannonball fired from the top of the city wall. It created a big hole when it hit the ground, and the cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another.

"What's going on? We've been ambushed!" The big man was horrified. He had just arrived at the battlefield and he had already suffered a loss. How impressive! Commander Sun rode down from the top of the city wall holding a command flag and shouted angrily, "Are you here to watch the fun? Are you my brothers? Get rid of these barbarians who trespassed into my Ming territory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Ming army warriors followed Commander Sun out in formation. Each of them held an iron mace, looking fierce and majestic. A long-rehearsed horn sounded, and the soldiers rushed towards the enemy formation with bared fangs and claws, and attacked the Tatar leader with swords.

"Oh! Let's see!" The big man finally reacted and waved his hand to summon a group of elite cavalry. A fierce battle between the two sides began.

The battlefield was filled with the flashing of swords and the rumbling of artillery fire. The fierce battle between the two armies lasted for more than an hour.

Gradually, the Tatar army found itself in a passive position and could no longer do what it wanted.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the big man had to shout desperately to mobilize the remaining soldiers and surround the Ming army.

Just as the two sides were fighting to the death, a sharp cold wind suddenly blew.

A moment later, an armored general flew to the front of the battle formation, rode a few steps, looked around, and shouted loudly: "Where is the enemy formation?"

"Reinforcements have arrived! It's General Chu!" Commander Sun was overjoyed when he saw this. He shouted back, "The enemy is surrounding us three miles from the inner camp and is attacking us! General, please come to our aid as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

Chu Ze didn't say much. The Tiger Guards behind him had divided into three groups and moved closer, surrounding the Tatar Legion in the center.

All of these Tiger Guards, each wearing armor, carrying bullets and holding muskets, were lined up in a row, with the sound of gongs and drums resounding, and the atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

"Artillery formation! Follow my command and blow those barbarians to pieces! Go home early to celebrate the New Year!"

Chu Ze raised the big tassel in his hand and waved it, and suddenly a rumbling sound of cannon fire rang out in front of the battle.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at the enemy camp and several shells were fired.

In an instant, countless black gun muzzles roared in unison, and tens of thousands of muskets burst into flames, shooting towards the Tatars like a tidal wave.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Countless smoke exploded in the Tatar camp, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

Screams and neighing of horses rose and fell amid the billowing smoke.

The entire Tatar army was instantly scattered and routed by this fierce blow.

"We're defeated! Run away!" The leader, seeing that the game was hopeless, was in a state of embarrassment and turned around and ran away first.

Commander Sun saw that the situation was settled and shouted, "Everyone, charge! Drive these beasts out of the border in one go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ze's Tiger Guards launched a fierce pursuit battle.

The Tatars suffered repeated attacks along the way and finally lost everything. They were so panicked that they fled back to the remote countryside in a hurry.

The sun was blazing in the sky, smoke was rolling, dust was everywhere in the vast desert, and the sound of horses’ hooves was clanging.

A mighty cavalry army was approaching aggressively, led by a burly Tatar warrior with a ferocious and fierce face.

"Come on, everyone! Today we will let these damn Ming dogs taste our power!" He waved the scimitar in his hand, let out a strange howl, and led the army to charge forward.

On the battlements, Commander Sun's face was livid, and he stared at the enemy's movements. "Quick!" He snorted coldly, and the soldiers gathered around him immediately became agitated. On the arrow tower, dozens of black cannons slowly woke up and aimed at the Tatars under the city. (End of this chapter)
