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

At this moment, suddenly a loud noise came from outside the city, and then flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the night sky.

Chu Ze frowned and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

A sentry came running over and reported breathlessly: "Your Majesty, the enemy has begun to attack our east gate and ignited gunpowder in an attempt to blow up the city wall!"

Chu Ze heard this, his expression was stern, and he immediately gave an order: "Order the East Gate guards to defend the city wall! If the enemy approaches, shoot immediately! I will make sure they never return!"

The trumpets sounded again all around, the war drums roared, and the soldiers were ready for battle.

On the city wall, archers drew their bows and were ready to fire, war horses neighed incessantly, and the cold light of weapons flickered in the firelight, reflecting a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Chu Ze tightly grasped the black gold sword at his waist, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He shouted, "Ming Iron Blood Army, listen to my command! Defend Tiandu City. If you lose this battle, the people of Ming will be behind you. If you can't defend the city, you will all be traitors to the country!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers were all very excited and shouted in unison: "We will defend the city to the death! Long live His Majesty!"

The enemy's attack became more and more fierce. The firelight reflected on the city wall. The archers shot arrows together. The arrows poured down like rain, shooting at the enemy troops under the city.

There were screams from the enemy, but the attack continued unabated.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, calmly directing everything, his eyes never leaving the battlefield.

He secretly calculated in his mind that the enemy's movement this time was quite large and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

I cannot fall into their trap easily. If they have other intentions, they must have other plans.

At this moment, Lin Ye came hurriedly.
His expression was solemn: "Your Majesty, I just discovered several fires in the city. It is suspected that there are thieves inside the city, and they are very likely colluding with Jiangnan Chen Haitao! I request that you lead the troops to suppress them!"

Chu Ze sneered, his eyes revealing a cold murderous aura: "As expected! I have already expected that the old thief Chen Haitao will take the opportunity to cause chaos! Lin Ye, you take your elite troops and go there, leaving no one alive, and wipe out the roots!"

Lin Ye clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"

As the night grew darker, the atmosphere inside and outside Tiandu City reached its climax.

The flames lit up half the sky red, and the enemy's attack under the city wall became more and more fierce.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, his eyes as cold as ice.

Outside the city, the enemy's siege equipment had been pushed to the foot of the city wall, and ladders, battering rams, and gunpowder bags were all approaching.

Chu Ze snorted coldly and waved his hand to order: "Order the archers, fire the rockets, and burn these barbarians' siege equipment for me!"

As the order was passed down, the sound of bowstrings suddenly rang out on the city wall, and rockets shot out from the top of the city like flowers scattered by fairies, landing on the enemy's siege equipment.

The fire spread quickly, the wooden battering rams and ladders were ignited, and the flames engulfed the enemy's offensive, which was instantly slowed down.

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and sneered, "If the Xixia and Mongolian barbarians want to break into my Tiandu City with just this kind of means, they are too naive!"

Guo Huai, who was standing behind him, strode over and said, "Your Majesty, I have led the Iron Blood Army to guard the city gates. The enemy cannot break through our defense line for the time being!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly: "Okay, continue to defend strictly, I want to make sure these barbarians can't attack for a long time and their morale will collapse!"

Guo Huai clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have issued an order. All soldiers are full of fighting spirit and swear to defend the city to the death!"

Chu Ze's eyes were as fast as lightning as he swept across the enemy camp in the distance, secretly calculating in his mind.

Although the enemy's offensive was fierce, it was obviously just a vanguard test, and the real decisive battle had not yet come.

At the same time, Chen Haitao's movements made Chu Ze more alert.

At this time, the messenger rushed over, knelt on one knee, and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, there is a group of bandits causing chaos in the southwest corner of the city, and they are suspected to be Chen Haitao's men!"

Chu Ze's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "As I expected, the old thief Chen Haitao finally couldn't hold back. Send a message to Lin Ye to lead the troops to suppress them immediately, and make sure to catch these traitors in one fell swoop!"

The messenger took the order and left, with a cold light flashing in Chu Ze's eyes.

He said coldly: "Chen Haitao, this bastard, is trying to cooperate with others from inside and outside. He is simply courting death!"

Guo Huai frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if Chen Haitao intends to cause chaos, should he be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid unrest in the city?"

Chu Ze waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have sent Lin Ye to deal with it. He will be able to suppress this internal turmoil.

Chen Haitao is just a discarded pawn, I will let him suffer the consequences of his actions!"

Guo Huai nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. General Xinlin will surely be able to win the battle quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, the enemy's horns outside the city sounded again, this time even more shrill. Immediately afterwards, the main armies of Western Xia and Mongolia finally set out, rushing towards Tiandu City like a tide.

Torches covered the sky like starlight, and tens of thousands of enemy soldiers rushed towards the city wall with deafening shouts of killing.

Chu Ze's face was calm, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Come on! I will wait here and see how you break into the city!"

As the enemy approached, the war drums of Tiandu City sounded again, and the soldiers quickly gathered. The soldiers of the Iron Blood Army held weapons in their hands, each of them was murderous, with an unyielding fighting spirit in their eyes.

"Order the archers to suppress the enemy. I can't make them move an inch!" Chu Ze ordered in a cold voice.

Arrows rained down like a torrential rain, shooting towards the enemy army, and large numbers of Xixia soldiers fell down.

But the enemy's offensive did not slow down. The siege equipment was pushed under the city wall. The enemy pressed forward step by step, and the battle became extremely fierce in an instant.

Guo Huai shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the enemy's attack is fierce. I am willing to lead my elite troops out of the city to meet the enemy!"

Chu Ze shook his head slightly and said calmly: "Don't act rashly, I want you to hold your ground, and if the enemy approaches, you should meet them with spears.

Remember, Tiandu City cannot lose an inch of land!"

Guo Huai cupped his hands and said, "I obey your command!"

On the city wall, the confrontation between archers and the enemy became increasingly fierce. Enemy soldiers had begun climbing ladders, trying to force their way to the top of the city wall.

Chu Ze watched all this coldly and had a plan in mind.

At this moment, the elite soldiers led by Lin Ye returned from the city, with bloodstains on their bodies but determined looks.

He walked up to Chu Ze, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the bandits in the city have been wiped out, and Chen Haitao's people who intended to rebel have been completely wiped out.

Chen Haitao saw that the situation was hopeless and was fleeing to the southwest corner of the city. I am leading my troops to pursue him! "

Chu Ze sneered and waved his hand, saying, "Very good, Chen Haitao is just a clown, no need to show mercy, behead him at the foot of the city!"

Lin Ye clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I will definitely take his head!"

He turned around and quickly chased after them with a team of elite soldiers.

Chu Ze watched Lin Ye go away, his eyes filled with cold determination.

This Chen Haitao has now been completely exposed and there is absolutely no chance of him surviving.

The battle outside the city became increasingly stalemate, with the enemy's offensive coming in wave after wave, but the Ming Iron-Blooded Army's defense was as impregnable as a solid wall of steel.

Every soldier fought bravely and vowed to defend the city wall to the death.

Chu Ze stood on the top of the city wall, calmly commanding the overall situation. Although the enemy was coming in full force, he remained calm, as if everything was under control. (End of this chapter)
