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

The messenger bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise! General Guo Huai has specially ordered me to come here to report that I have set up an ambush. If the enemy dares to approach again, they will never return!"

Chu Ze smiled coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Okay! I will wait for them to fall into my trap, and then I will destroy them completely tonight.

Go back and tell Guo Huai to continue to defend the forage camp. If any enemy troops approach, they will be annihilated without exception, leaving no one alive!"

The messenger took the order and left, and the atmosphere in Tiandu City became tense again.

Chu Ze stood quietly on the city wall, the night wind blowing through his robe, but he remained as still as a mountain.

At this moment, he was no longer just fighting for a city, but also defending the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.

The starlight in the sky was dim, and there were gusts of chill in the wind.

Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps was heard behind Chu Ze. It was Qin Yunyun walking slowly towards him with several maids.

She was wearing a plain robe and had a gentle face. Although there was worry in her eyes, she was still as gentle as water.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Yunyun called in a low voice and bowed gently: "The war has come to an end for the time being. Your Majesty has not slept all night. Should you take a rest?"

Chu Ze turned his head and glanced at her. His expression was still stern, but there was a hint of concern in his tone: "Yunyun, I haven't rested yet, but why don't you rest in the palace? Why are you worrying about me here?"

Qin Yunyun whispered, "I am worried. Your Majesty is in danger. How can I sleep peacefully? I just hope Your Majesty takes care of your health. The soldiers of Tiandu City all rely on your Majesty's decision!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly and gently held Qin Yunyun's hand: "Don't worry, Yunyun, I know what to do.

Although the battle is dangerous, I have already made all the plans. The enemy is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, so I will be fine!"

Qin Yunyun looked up at Chu Ze, her eyes filled with tenderness and worry: "If your majesty has made a decision, I dare not say much, but your majesty shoulders the responsibility of the country, please take care of yourself and don't work too hard!"

Chu Ze nodded gently and said in a deep voice: "I know what you mean, but the situation is uncertain at this moment, and I must not relax.

My responsibility is to protect the Ming Dynasty and ensure the peace of the people!"

Qin Yunyun knew that he was determined, so she said no more, but gently brushed away the dust on his clothes and whispered, "I know that your majesty has the overall situation in mind, but your majesty does not have to bear this burden alone.

Although I am a member of the harem, I wish to share the joys and sorrows with Your Majesty!"

Chu Ze gently stroked the back of her hand, with a gentle look on his face: "I know the feelings of Yunyun, and your presence here with me is my greatest comfort.

But the war is not over yet, I cannot let my guard down. When I win this war, I will stay by your side forever!"

Qin Yunyun nodded slightly, but a hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

She understood that this war was not a simple attack and defense, but involved a more complicated situation. There was the coalition force of Western Xia and Mongolia outside, and undercurrents of powerful officials in the court inside. The pressure and responsibility on Chu Ze were far heavier than she could see.

Just as the two were talking, a burst of urgent horn sounds suddenly came from under the city wall.

Chu Ze frowned, then turned and looked outside the city.

I saw a faint glow of fire rising in the dense forest in the distance, as if the remnants of an enemy army were rapidly gathering.

Lu Bing quickly rushed to Chu Ze's side, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy's remnants seem to be making unusual movements. I have ordered people to strengthen the defense. Should we send troops to encircle and suppress them immediately?"

Chu Ze calmly stared at the fire in the distance, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Don't act rashly. The remnants of the enemy are just the last gasp of a spent force. If you rush to attack, you may fall into their trap.

I want you to defend them tightly, and when they have exhausted their strength, they will collapse on their own!"

Lu Bing received the order and immediately turned around to arrange the troops for defense. Chu Ze looked at the enemy camp in the distance with a cold gaze, as if he had already seen through everything.

He knew clearly that the remnants of the Western Xia and Mongolian troops were just struggling in their last moments. Their real reliance was the forces hidden in the dark - and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind Chen Haitao.

"These bandits are trying to collude with foreign enemies to plot against our Ming Dynasty!" Chu Ze said coldly, his voice low and powerful: "I will make them pay the price for what they have done!"

The night wind was getting colder, Qin Yunyun stood silently beside Chu Ze and said softly: "Your Majesty, although the enemy has made unusual movements, I believe that Your Majesty will be able to turn danger into safety and turn the tide.

But Your Majesty must remember not to work too hard!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the enemy camp in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Yunyun, I will fight this battle and make sure that these barbarians and rebels will never be able to turn the tables.

You go back to the palace and rest first, I will come soon!"

Although Qin Yunyun was reluctant to leave, she knew that Chu Ze had an important mission and could not stay for long, so she nodded slightly and slowly left with a few maids.

At this time, Lu Bing came with several deputy generals, looking solemn, and said with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, although the remnants of the Western Xia have been defeated, the enemy's elite cavalry seems to be trying to preserve their strength, and they may have other plans in the dense forest.

I think we must send troops to wipe them out as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I know about this matter, but it is not appropriate to act rashly at this time.

Although the enemy was defeated, if they lured our troops into the woods to pursue them, they would most likely fall into an ambush.

I want you to arrange your cavalry to ambush outside the forest, wait for the enemy to become disorganized, and then destroy them in one fell swoop!"

Lu Bing bowed and said, "I obey your orders! Your Majesty is wise. I will arrange for elite cavalry to ambush and wait for the enemy to fall into my trap!"

Chu Ze said coldly: "Go ahead, I have already figured out their weaknesses.

This battle must be resolved quickly and without delay!"

Lu Bing took the order and retreated, and soon ordered the cavalry to begin deploying defenses.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, looking at the dense forest from afar, with a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that since the remnants of the enemy had lost their main force, they would inevitably choose to avoid fighting temporarily, but if they were allowed a chance to catch their breath, they would surely make a comeback.

Chu Ze pondered for a moment, then whispered to himself: "Although this enemy force is not powerful enough, the treacherous people hidden behind them are the real hidden danger for me.

There must be a traitor in the court colluding with the foreign enemy. If we don’t root it out, it will eventually become a big problem!”

Just as Chu Ze was hesitating, suddenly, a figure quietly jumped up from the side of the city wall. It was Lin Ye who returned.

His body was stained with blood, and he walked hurriedly. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have obtained an important piece of information!"

Chu Ze's eyes shone, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Lin Ye took a deep breath and whispered, "Your Majesty, I was just chasing after the remnants of Chen Haitao and found that they were secretly meeting with a Mongolian envoy in the city.

This man brought secret letters from Xixia and Mongolia, intending to instigate rebellion in the city, and he also had a secret order from a powerful official in the court!"

Chu Ze's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his brows knitted tightly: "A traitor in the court? Who is it?"

Lin Ye looked solemn and whispered: "Your Majesty, the secret letter has not been completely deciphered, but I suspect that this person is a powerful person in the court and has a large number of troops. (End of this chapter)
