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

At this moment, Lin Ye and Guo Huai hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy's defense line in the city has begun to loosen. I have noticed that their defenders are running low on food and grass, and their morale is low. If we attack now, we may be able to recapture Tianhai Pass in one fell swoop!"

Chu Ze frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said coldly: "The enemy army is trapped in the city, and will eventually be defeated in a protracted battle.

Since they are already exhausted, I will take this opportunity to recapture Tianhai Pass!"

He slowly raised the black gold sword, the blade flashing a cold light in the firelight, and then gave an order: "All troops, prepare and attack immediately! I will personally lead the army to attack the city, and we must recapture Tianhai Pass today!"

"Follow your majesty's orders!" Lin Ye, Guo Huai and Lu Bing responded in unison, their fighting spirit rising.

The sound of war drums sounded again, and the Iron Blood Army quickly assembled. The soldiers lined up behind Chu Ze, all of them in high spirits.

The firelight illuminated their armor, which was cold and sharp, like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed.

Chu Ze rode his horse to the front of the army and said in a deep voice: "Today, I will personally lead the army to recover the territory of our Ming Dynasty! Tianhai Pass is the gateway to the frontier and must not be lost.

You all must follow me and bravely move forward, and fight to the death to take back the city!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, with great momentum: "We swear to recapture Tianhai Pass at all costs!"

Chu Ze swung the black gold sword, the war drums sounded, and the Iron Blood Army attacked swiftly, heading straight for the city of Tianhai Pass.

The yellow sand around was rolled up by the iron hooves of the war horses, and the flashes of swords and sabers flashed in the wind.

At this time, inside Tianhai Pass, Tuoba Tieying, the general of the Western Xia and Mongolian coalition forces, was standing on the top of the city wall with a solemn expression.

Although he was a veteran of the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel pressured when facing the offensive of the Iron Blood Army.

The soldiers had been fighting hard for several days in a row, and they were running low on food and fodder, and their morale was low. If they continued to hold their ground, they would probably not be able to hold out.

The deputy general came running over, looking anxious: "General, Chu Ze's army is approaching, and the soldiers are exhausted. I'm afraid they can't resist anymore!"

Tuoba Tieying's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We must not retreat! Defend the city, reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we hold on for another day, we will have a chance to counterattack!"

However, with the fierce attack of the Iron-Blooded Army led by Chu Ze, the enemy's defense line in Tianhai Pass finally collapsed.

The Iron-Blooded Army rushed into the city like a torrent. The soldiers raised their swords high, fought hard, and killed the enemy one by one.

Chu Ze, holding the black gold sword in his hand, rushed into the enemy camp himself. Wherever his sword passed, no enemy could stop it.

Although Tuoba Tieying was brave, he was ultimately unable to withstand Chu Ze's fierce attack.

The two sides fought fiercely. In the end, Tuoba Tieying was forced to the top of the city wall by the elite cavalry of the Iron Blood Army. He fought to exhaustion and was finally captured alive.

"Your Majesty, Tianhai Pass has been recaptured, the remnants of the enemy troops are fleeing everywhere, and Tuoba Tieying has been captured!" Lu Bing rushed over covered in blood and reported with a bow.

Chu Ze's eyes were stern, and he said in a cold voice: "Kill all the remaining enemies! Don't let any of them escape! I want to make Xixia and Mongolia understand that Tianhai Pass is the gate of the Ming Dynasty, and no one is allowed to interfere!"

As Chu Ze's order was issued, the Iron Blood Army quickly cleared the battlefield and wiped out all the remaining enemy troops in Tianhai Pass.

After several hours of fierce fighting, Tianhai Pass finally returned to the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Standing on the top of the city wall, Chu Ze looked down at the city below. Although there was a glow of victory in his eyes, there was more contemplation.

This victory did not mean the end of the war. Although the coalition forces of Western Xia and Mongolia suffered a setback in this battle, their strength should not be underestimated, and subsequent battles will be more difficult.

Guo Huai stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Tianhai Pass has been completely recaptured by our army. Although the enemy has been defeated, reinforcements from Xixia and Mongolia may arrive soon.

The defense line of Tianhai Pass has been destroyed, and I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand more attacks! "Chu Ze nodded and said, "I understand that although Tianhai Pass has been recovered, the enemy may come back at any time.

Order the entire army to immediately reinforce the city defenses, repair the city walls, and store food and fodder.

I will build this Tianhai Customs into an iron wall and fight the enemy to the death!"

His eyes were like torches, and his voice was low and firm: "This battle is not over, I must hold on here and wait for the reinforcements from Xixia and Mongolia to attack.

I want to fight a protracted war, to exhaust the enemy's strength, so that they can only flee in disgrace!"

Guo Huai saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will immediately arrange soldiers to reinforce the defense line!"

Lu Bing also bowed and said: "I will lead the elite troops to garrison the city and will not allow the enemy to take advantage of any opportunity!"

Chu Ze nodded gently, looked into the distance, and took a deep breath: "Although I have taken back Tianhai Pass, Xixia and Mongolia are still ambitious, and protracted war is their usual method.

I want them to know that no matter what, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is inviolable, and Tianhai Pass will become their grave!"

From then on, Chu Ze ordered the entire army to strengthen the Tianhai Pass defense line, mobilize food and weapons, and continuously increase the military strength in the city to prepare for the upcoming long-term confrontation.

The soldiers in the city worked day and night to repair the city walls and strengthen the pass. The entire Tianhai Pass was like a huge fortress.

Time flies, time passes quickly.

Outside Tianhai Pass, the northwest wind was howling and the cold was biting.

Since the Ming Emperor Chu Ze personally led the army to fight, the border defense has become increasingly tight, the soldiers and generals have each performed their duties, and the war preparations are in good order.

Chu Ze stood on a high place in the city gate, wearing a dragon robe and a black gold sword on his waist. He looked at the mountains in the distance with a stern expression.

"I never expected that Mongolia and Xixia would be so ambitious that they would conspire to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty again!" Chu Ze said lightly, his voice low but powerful.

Guo Huai, who was standing behind him, holding a spear, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, today's military information has been conveyed to each camp. I urge the soldiers to train day and night and tighten the defense line. The Northwest Barbarians dare not act rashly for the time being!"

"Yeah!" Chu Ze nodded slightly and turned to Guo Huai: "How is the training going?"

Guo Huai replied, “Your Majesty, the training is rigorous, the soldiers are in high spirits, and all of them are eager to serve the country.

only"

"Just what?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Guo Huai paused and whispered, "Although the Xixia and Mongolian coalition forces have not yet launched a direct attack, they have already stationed troops on the border and are spying day and night. Although our army is not afraid, we must be vigilant against the other side's surprise attack at any time!"

"Humph, what if Xixia and Mongolia join forces?" Chu Ze sneered: "Even though they have a large number of people, they are just a mob. If they dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, I will make sure they never return!"

Guo Huai bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise.

I will spare no effort to protect Tianhai Pass until my death!"

At this moment, Queen Qin Yunyun, wearing a plain palace skirt, looked gentle and calm. She walked slowly to Chu Ze's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, the military affairs are heavy, and you haven't slept well these days and nights. You must take care of your body and don't overwork yourself!"

Chu Ze glanced at Qin Yunyun, and said in a softer tone: "As an emperor, it is my duty to protect the country and the people. How can I slack off because of the hard work? Moreover, these barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border. If we don't teach them a lesson, how can the world follow suit?" (End of this chapter)
