"Today the enemy set an ambush and bullied the Ming Dynasty, which has no one. This feud is irreconcilable. I and you must pay with blood!"

Having said that, Chu Ze suddenly raised his sword high, with the tip pointing straight to the west.

"Kill all the enemy chieftains and enhance our country's prestige! Give justice to the army and an explanation to the soldiers!"

"Swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death, drive out the Tartars, and return our land to us!"

Thousands of troops responded in unison, and the sound waves rose up into the sky.

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

He kicked his horse and rushed out of the camp first.

The army followed closely behind him, surging like a tide.

Flags fluttered, swords shone, armor clanged, and horses hooved.

This invincible cavalry is galloping towards the Western Territory with overwhelming force!

The desert is vast and smoke of war is rising everywhere.

The enemy and us are facing each other from a distance, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Chu Ze looked down from a high position and watched the enemy army opposite with cold eyes.

As far as the eye can see, there is a pitch-black mass of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, blocking out the sun and the sky!
The leader was wearing black armor, had purple hair tied up high, and had a ferocious and sinister look in his eyes.

Judging from his posture, he is clearly the mastermind of this ambush!
"Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I didn't expect you to be so brave as to come to me and ask for a fight!"

The man in black armor sneered and spoke sarcastically.

"Do you know who you are up against? Your little tricks are no match for the barbarian cavalry!"

"Barbarians? Oh, you are so arrogant."

Chu Ze snorted coldly, his eyes sharp.

"You barbarians are nothing but untouchables who make a living on horseback. You dare to provoke the Celestial Empire. You are courting your own destruction!"

The man in black armor became furious when he heard this.

"How shameless! Today I will let you see how powerful the Mongol Empire is!"

Before he finished speaking, he gave an order and the soldiers behind him drew their swords in unison and rushed towards the Song army in a black mass!
It turns out that this group of mysterious cavalry is the vanguard of the Mongols!

No wonder they come and go like the wind and are so fierce. These barbarians on the grassland are simply born for war!

Chu Ze's heart trembled, thinking to himself that something was wrong.

I thought the opponent was just a mob, but I didn't expect that they were the ruthless Mongolian cavalry.

If you are not well prepared, you will probably end up in disaster!

However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

The enemy was in high spirits and was about to charge over.

If I don’t fight back, I’m afraid I’ll be caught off guard by the other party!

"Pass on my order. The front troops will hold the line, the two wings will encircle the enemy, and the rear troops will cover the rear!"

Chu Ze acted promptly and issued combat deployment.

"All soldiers, at all costs, you must hold back the enemy and never let them break up our formation!"

The generals took orders and left, and in an instant the army was in motion.

For a moment, the sound of fighting was deafening, and shouts of killing were heard one after another.

The two armies engaged in close combat, swords clashed, blood and gore were shed, and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Chu Ze personally supervised the battle. He rode his horse and charged forward, invincible.

The sword "Wu Jin" in his hand shines with a cold light, and one sword can cut off several heads!
However, the situation was not optimistic. The Mongolian cavalry were indeed brave and good at fighting, and each of them was a battle-hardened general.

They were so bloodthirsty that they vowed to wipe out the Song army and avenge their previous humiliation!
The Song army was gradually defeated by the cavalry. Their formation was broken up and they were defeated one after another.

Countless soldiers fell in a pool of blood and never woke up again.

"How could this be?"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth, fire almost coming out of his eyes.

He did not expect that this so-called elite iron army could not withstand the attack of the Mongolian cavalry.

If this continues, the situation will be hopeless and the entire army will be wiped out in no time!

At this moment, dust suddenly flew up on the battlefield in the distance, and another cavalry came out.

The leader was wearing silver armor, had a handsome face, and looked intimidating without even getting angry.

At his command, the cavalrymen behind him drew their scimitars and charged towards the Song army! "Western Xia army? Why are they here too?!"

Chu Ze's face changed drastically, and a strong sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.

How could this be some mysterious cavalry? It was clearly a joint attack by the two great powers of the Western Regions and Mongolia!

The King of the Western Regions sent an envoy first to deliberately disperse the army.

The Mongolian cavalry took the opportunity to ambush and reap the benefits.

Now the Western Xia cavalry has arrived again, which is simply adding insult to injury!

The Ming Dynasty was in imminent danger, but he was still kept in the dark!

Chu Ze felt so regretful that he wanted to slap himself a few times.

If I had known this would happen, I would never have acted rashly and sent out troops!

But it's too late to say anything now. The most urgent task is to withdraw troops as soon as possible and preserve our manpower.

Otherwise, once the entire army is wiped out, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!

"Order the three armies to retreat immediately!"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth and said in a firm tone.

"All troops, provide cover. I will cover the rear. We must minimize the losses!"

After saying this, he kicked his horse's belly and ran back the way he came.

The soldiers behind him also followed and turned around and ran.

The Song army was defeated, and the Mongolian cavalry and Western Xia cavalry pursued them relentlessly.

For a time, the desert was filled with wailing and blood flowed like a river.

Countless Song army soldiers became victims of the bloodthirsty prairie wolves and could never return home again.

Chu Ze felt heartbroken as he looked at the tragic scene behind him.

He only hated himself for not judging people well and for underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly.

It caused innocent soldiers to sacrifice their lives in vain and almost ruined the destiny of the Ming Dynasty!
However, the matter has been done and no amount of regret will help.

Right now, it is more important to find a way to preserve the remaining troops.

Chu Ze was galloping while thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"The valley ahead is in a dangerous position. If we can get in first, we may be able to delay the enemy and buy time for our army to retreat!"

Thinking of this, Chu Ze whipped his horse and rushed towards the valley.

The soldiers behind him followed closely. Between life and death, no one could care less.

However, there is no sure path.

Just as the Song army was about to enter the valley, a thunderous shout rang out from the cliffs on both sides!

Immediately, countless Mongolian cavalrymen in black armor descended from the sky and rushed towards the Song army!

It turned out that the enemy had already set up an ambush here!

That valley is actually a trap to lure you into it!
Chu Ze's pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned pale.

It was then that he realized that the valley that the scout had mentioned was exactly this place!
At the beginning, the enemy only sent a small group of troops to ambush, which was clearly a deliberate act to lure him into the trap.

And he actually fell into the trap and led his army into a dead end!
At this time, the Song army was surrounded from front and back and was in a dilemma.

Chu Ze's mind flashed with energy as he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

However, the arrow is on the string and there is no room for hesitation.

The enemy is coming in full force and is already right in front of us!
At this critical moment, a figure rushed out from the crowd of Song army.

"Your Majesty, please leave! I will cover your retreat!"

That man was none other than Chu Ze's personal bodyguard, Lu Bing!
At the critical moment, Lu Bing actually stepped forward to cover his lord's retreat!
Chu Ze was deeply moved by this loyalty and courage.

How lucky he was to have such a loyal servant whom he could trust with his life and death.

However, the current situation is such that it is difficult to back down.

The enemy is numerous and we are few, so how can we retreat?

Although Lu Bing is a martial arts expert, he can hardly fight against tens of thousands of troops alone!

"Lu Bing, you are crazy! Come back to me!" (End of this chapter)
