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

Chu Ze's swordsmanship was sharp and precise, with each move aimed directly at Langsha's vital points. However, Langsha, relying on his many years of battlefield experience, managed to survive danger many times and was never completely defeated.

The battle reached the most critical moment. Langsha roared, exerted his strength suddenly, and smashed the spear hard at Chu Ze, trying to use this final blow to decide the outcome.

But Chu Ze looked calm and terribly calm.

He slightly turned sideways to avoid the attack, and at the same time swung his sword back with his backhand. The black gold sword, with the force of breaking through the air, instantly cut across Langsha's throat.

"Puff—" A flash of blood appeared, and Langsha's movements suddenly froze. His eyes widened, and he looked at Chu Ze in disbelief.

The spear in his hand dropped limply, and then he fell off his horse, landing heavily on the ground, blood gushing out.

Chu Ze looked coldly at Langsha falling to the ground, with no mercy in his eyes.

He slowly put away the black gold sword, and said in a cold tone: "Western Xia Military God? Nothing more than that!"

The situation of the battle inside and outside the city quickly changed with the fall of Langsha.

The Western Xia army, having lost its main general, fell into chaos and was attacked from both wings by the Ming Dynasty's iron-blooded army. Its morale collapsed and it fled in all directions.

Lu Bing shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the enemy army has been defeated. I am willing to lead the troops to pursue and destroy them completely!"

Chu Ze waved his hand slowly: "Order the whole army, pursue the victory, I will leave no one alive!"

With the death of Langsha, the god of the Western Xia army, the enemy completely lost their fighting spirit and collapsed like a tide. The soldiers fled in all directions, but the Ming Iron-Blooded Army pursued them closely like ghosts, forcing the enemy into death.

Chu Ze stood in front of the city gate, watching the situation on the battlefield coldly.

He had already made up his mind that if this battle could completely defeat the joint offensive of Western Xia and Mongolia, the threat to the border would be temporarily lifted.

At this time, Lu Bing rode back to Chu Ze's side and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of the enemy army have been pursued by our army. Most of the enemy troops are no longer able to resist, but a few remnants of the enemy army have retreated into the dense forest southwest of Tiandu City. Should we continue to pursue them?"

Chu Ze frowned slightly, then said in a deep voice: "No need to pursue.

I know that the terrain in that dense forest is dangerous and there may be ambushes.

Let the soldiers guard strictly and set up an ambush, and when they lose their composure, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Lu Bing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will immediately arrange for the defense!"

Just at this moment, Lin Ye came on horseback, his body covered in blood and his expression solemn.

After he dismounted, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already beheaded Chen Haitao and wiped out all the rebels. However, before his death, Chen Haitao made wild remarks, saying that there are still treacherous people in the court who are colluding with Xixia and intend to use this siege to create greater civil unrest. I am afraid that there are undercurrents in the court!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze's expression instantly turned cold and his brows furrowed.

Although Chen Haitao's words may not be entirely credible, he knows very well that the hidden forces in the court are far more terrifying than the enemy in front of them.

If these traitors take the opportunity to cause chaos and the rear is out of control, the safety of the Ming Dynasty will be in jeopardy.

"It's true that they are a nest of snakes and rats!" Chu Ze snorted coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "I have long known that the treacherous officials in the court are ready to make a move. If they dare to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, I will uproot them!"

Lin Ye bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go back to the capital to investigate, secretly find out the movements of the forces in the court, and find out those treacherous officials who are colluding with foreign enemies!"

Chu Ze thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Lin Ye, you return to Beijing immediately and investigate secretly.

I grant you full authority. If you find any clues, arrest those traitors immediately, and make sure it is done cleanly and efficiently!"

Lin Ye clasped his fists and said, "I will not fail your majesty's trust!" Chu Ze turned his gaze to the outside of the city and said softly, "I know that although the enemy army was defeated this time, after this battle, there will be more undercurrents in the border and the court.

Go quickly. I will stay here to guard Tiandu City. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately!"

Lin Ye nodded, turned around, jumped on his horse, and quickly disappeared into the night.

A moment later, Guo Huai also rode back and said, "Your Majesty, I have ordered all troops to strengthen their defenses to prevent the remnants of the enemy from raiding the city. The defenses of the north gate and the west gate are stable, and the enemy is temporarily unable to attack again!"

Chu Ze nodded in approval, his eyes still cold, and said in a low voice: "Western Xia and Mongolia have not given up their ambitions, this is just their exploratory battle, I will not relax easily.

Guo Huai, continue to send troops to patrol. If any enemy troops approach, kill them without mercy! "

Guo Huai clasped his hands and said, "I obey your command. I will defend Tiandu City to the death and not allow the enemy to have the slightest chance to break through!"

As they were talking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and the sound of low horse hooves could be heard faintly from the dense forest in the distance, as if soldiers were approaching quietly.

Chu Ze frowned slightly, his eyes quickly cast towards the edge of the forest, and said in a cold voice: "If there is any situation, inform the entire army to be on alert immediately!"

Soon, archers, spearmen, cavalrymen and others gathered, and the tense atmosphere quickly spread outside the city.

Guo Huai asked nervously: "Your Majesty, should we send someone to investigate?"

Chu Ze said calmly: "Don't rush ahead. I have anticipated that the remnants of the enemy might adopt guerrilla tactics.

Order the archers to shoot immediately if the enemy approaches, and never let them get close!"

The horn sounded again, and the atmosphere inside and outside Tiandu City became tense again.

Chu Ze stood on the top of the city wall, his eyes as deep as the sea. He knew that the crisis before him had not been completely resolved. The remnants of the enemy army and the rebels in the city were all potential threats to the Ming Dynasty.

Just then, a horse galloped in from outside the city, raising a cloud of dust behind it.

The cavalry was about to reach the city and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"

Chu Ze said in a deep voice: "Come up and answer!"

The cavalry quickly stepped forward, knelt down with his hands clasped, and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of the enemy army have retreated to the southwest, but according to the spies' report, a group of elite cavalry in the enemy army are attacking our food supply line in an attempt to cut off our retreat!"

Chu Ze's expression suddenly turned stern when he heard this. Food and grass supplies are the lifeline of the army. If they are cut off by the enemy, although Tiandu City is as solid as a rock, the morale of the army will be in chaos.

"Sure enough, there are still remnants causing trouble!" Chu Ze snorted coldly and immediately ordered: "Guo Huai, lead a team of elite cavalry and go to the grain camp to guard it immediately. I must ensure that the grain is safe! If any enemy troops approach, they must be annihilated!"

Guo Huai immediately clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders! We must protect the food and fodder and kill all the enemy troops!"

Immediately, Guo Huai mounted his horse and led a group of iron-blooded cavalrymen quickly out of the city and headed straight for the grain and forage camp in the southwest.

Chu Ze looked at Guo Huai's back, his eyes still stern.

With sufficient food and grass, Tiandu City will have no worries, and the enemy is now no longer able to launch a large-scale attack.

A moment later, a messenger came running over and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, General Guo Huai has arrived at the grain camp and is defending it tightly. Although the enemy's elite cavalry tried to attack several times, they were all repelled by our army. The grain is intact!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly and said calmly: "Guo Huai is indeed reliable in his work.

I have long expected that the enemy is just a desperate attempt to cut off my retreat, but it will only bring about their own destruction!" (End of this chapter)
