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

Chu Ze sneered, shook the spear in his hand, and aimed directly at the opponent's throat.

"Qiang!"

With a sound of metal clashing, Chu Ze's spear was blocked by the Tatar general's scimitar.

The two fought back and forth, and the surrounding soldiers did not dare to step forward, for fear of accidentally injuring their own generals.

Chu Ze was fighting with the enemy general, with swords flashing and shadows, and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard. The enemy general held a long sword and swung it like the wind, and each blow was powerful and heavy, forcing Chu Ze to retreat again and again.

Chu Ze frowned, and danced with the sword in his hand. He knew that this battle was of great importance. If he lost, not only would he be in danger, but the morale of the army would also be shaken. Thinking of this, Chu Ze's eyes fixed, and his steps suddenly changed.

He flashed and went around the enemy general like a ghost. The enemy general was caught off guard and hastily swung his sword to block. Chu Ze's sword force did not decrease, and his long sword pierced the enemy general's throat like a poisonous snake.

The enemy general was horrified and hurriedly leaned back to avoid the blow. Seeing this, Chu Ze turned his sword and slashed down diagonally.

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the enemy's long sword broke. Chu Ze took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, with the tip of his sword against the enemy's throat.

The enemy general's face turned pale, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground.

"General, spare your life!"

Chu Ze ignored it and looked around. He saw that his own soldiers were all excited and cheering. But the enemy had lost all their morale and surrendered one after another, throwing away their weapons and armor.

Chu Ze let out a long sigh and slowly sheathed his sword. They had won this battle.

However, Chuze did not indulge in the joy of victory. He knew that this was just the beginning. The main force of the Tatars had not yet arrived, and the real test was still to come.

Chu Ze immediately gave orders to his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and repair the city defenses. He personally inspected various places, checked fortifications, and replenished supplies.

As night fell, Chu Ze came to the top of the city wall. In the distance, there were bonfires and the enemy camp was brightly lit. Chu Ze frowned, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

"General!"

Chu Ze turned around and saw his trusted confidant Zhao Hu rushing over with a panicked look on his face.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

Zhao Hu, still gasping for breath, reported hurriedly.

"Something bad is happening! Scouts are reporting that the Tatar main force has arrived and is gathering its forces for a strong attack!"

Chu Ze's heart sank when he heard this. He had expected this, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Pass on my military order, all troops are on alert, defend with all their might!"

Zhao Hu took the order and left. Chu Ze looked into the distance again. In the darkness, he could vaguely see the shadows of people in the enemy camp, and the sound of war drums could be heard faintly.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and tightened the hilt of the sword at his waist. He knew that the real test had just begun.

At dawn, an earth-shaking shout broke the sky.

Countless torches illuminated the darkness, and the Tatar army surged in like a tide. Chu Ze stood on the top of the city, his eyes as sharp as torches, watching the scene in front of him coldly.

"Prepare!"

Chu Ze gave the order in a deep voice. The soldiers behind him responded in unison, stringing their bows and crossbows and unsheathing their swords.

The enemy rushed to the city, set up ladders, and climbed up like ants.

"put!"

Arrows rained down, and many enemy soldiers fell. But the follow-up troops continued to arrive and soon filled the gap.

Seeing this, Chu Ze immediately ordered, "Get the catapult ready!"

The huge rocks fell down with a crash, knocking the enemy soldiers and horses to the ground. However, the enemy was outnumbered and suffered heavy casualties, but they continued to fight.

The battle lasted for a whole day, with both sides fighting back and forth and it was hard to determine who would win.

Chu Ze personally went into battle and killed numerous enemy soldiers, but the enemy had more troops than Chu Ze and his men suffered heavy casualties.

As night fell, the enemy temporarily retreated. Chu Ze returned to the tent and summoned all the generals to discuss countermeasures.

At this moment, a scout ran in in a panic. "General! It's bad! The enemy has cut off our supply line!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Chu Ze's face was solemn. He knew the situation was critical. Without supplies, the city's supplies would not last long.

Just when everyone was at a loss, another soldier broke into the tent.

"Report to the general! There are people in the army causing chaos, saying they want to surrender!"

Chu Ze stood up suddenly after hearing this.

"Take me to see it!"

When we arrived at the scene of the rebellion, we saw hundreds of soldiers gathered together, all very excited, with the leader shouting loudly.

"General, you are stupid! The enemy is strong and we are isolated and helpless. If we continue to fight, we will die! It is better to surrender and save our lives!"

Chu Ze's eyes were like lightning, scanning the whole place. The rebels took a few steps back involuntarily when they saw him coming.

Chu Ze did not get angry, but spoke calmly.

"Gentlemen, I know you are afraid. But please think about it, if we surrender, what will be waiting for us? Will the Tatars treat us well?"

Everyone looked at each other and whispered. Chu Ze continued.

"We are not only guarding this city, but also our homeland! If the city is destroyed, what will happen to your parents, wives and children?"

After hearing this, many people looked ashamed. Seeing this, Chu Ze changed his tone.

"I swear here, if anyone wants to leave, I will never force them to stay. But if you stay, I will live and die with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier stepped forward and knelt down.

"I am willing to follow the general and fight to the death!"

Soon after, more and more people knelt down to express their stance. The soldiers who had originally rebelled also knelt down to plead guilty.

Chu Ze helped them up with a smile and ordered wine and meat to be given as a reward to the three armies.

The camp was suddenly filled with cheers, and the soldiers happily enjoyed the wine and food. Chu Ze looked around, looking at these brothers who had been through life and death with him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He raised his glass and spoke loudly:
"My fellow soldiers, we are about to set off to return to the capital. On this journey, I hope you will stay alert and not take it lightly!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers stood up and responded.

"I obey the general's orders!"

Chu Ze nodded and continued, "Although this expedition has been a success, the situation in the court is changing rapidly. We must return to the capital as soon as possible to report to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the tent.

"Report—!"

A scout hurried into the tent and knelt on one knee.

"General, the spies ahead reported that a large number of cavalry are rushing towards our garrison from the direction of the capital!"

As soon as these words came out, the tent suddenly became quiet. The soldiers looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Chu Ze frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Did you see the flag clearly?"

The scout shook his head. "It's dark now, and it's hard to tell. But according to the scout, the cavalry is marching very fast and is quite large, with at least tens of thousands of troops."

When Chu Ze heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Tens of thousands of cavalry? Such a large-scale mobilization must be ordered. Could it be
Without giving it much thought, he immediately gave the order: "Pass the order down, the entire army is on alert! All units are on high alert and ready to respond to any emergency at any time."

All the generals took orders and left, and the camp suddenly became busy.

Chu Ze stood outside the tent, gazing into the distance. As the night deepened, a cloud of dust could be vaguely seen in the distance.

The mysterious cavalry is approaching quickly. (End of this chapter)
