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

The cold wind was howling outside the city, and there were flashes of swords and sabers. The soldiers were lined up like a mountain. On the city walls, there were swords and spears, and arrows were like forests. All preparations had been made.

Chu Ze stood on the top of the city wall and looked into the distance.

Outside the pass, there was yellow sand all over the sky, and in the dust, one could vaguely see a black mass of Western Xia soldiers and their flags fluttering.

The enemy troops have approached the pass, with neat formation and heavy armor, and it is obvious that they are well prepared.

"Hmph, with only 5,000 troops, you dare to attack my Tianhai Pass. You are indeed seeking your own death!" Chu Ze sneered.

Guo Huai frowned slightly and whispered: "Your Majesty, although the enemy troops are not many, their formation is strict, so there may be a trick.

We must not take it lightly! "

"How could I let my guard down?" Chu Ze looked calm, but murderous intent was evident in his eyes: "These five thousand soldiers are only the vanguard of Xixia, the real decisive battle has not yet arrived.

Today, I will teach them a lesson, so that they know that Tianhai Pass is the gateway to our Ming Dynasty and must not be violated lightly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a horn sounded suddenly from the enemy's formation in the distance. Then, the front line of the Western Xia army suddenly changed. Hundreds of cavalry rushed out from both wings and galloped towards the Tianhai Pass city with great momentum and flying dust.

"Humph, you are restless indeed!" A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, and he said coldly: "Pass the order, archers, get ready!"

Guo Huai immediately waved his hand to pass the order, and the archers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired at the enemy cavalry.

Arrows rained down like rain on the enemy's formation, instantly knocking down a group of cavalry.

"Good archery skills!" Chu Ze nodded slightly, looking calm, watching the enemy's movements coldly.

Although the enemy cavalry was suppressed by the rain of arrows, they did not retreat, but instead accelerated their charge.

Chu Ze's eyes fixed, and he raised his hand and said, "Beat the drum!"

Suddenly, the sound of civil war drums in Tianhai Pass was deafening.

The Ming soldiers at the foot of the city came out in unison, holding shields and spears, ready for battle.

Chu Ze watched the battle coldly, not at all moved by the enemy's momentum.

At this moment, a group of black cavalry suddenly appeared in the dust in the distance. Although they were not many in number, they were very imposing.

The leader held a large black flag with a skull pattern painted on it, which was intimidating.

Chu Ze's eyes were stern, and he sneered, "It seems that Xixia still has some capable people, worthy of being the ones who colluded with Mongolia.

Guo Huai, order the archers to concentrate their firepower and attack their flag bearer first!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Huai immediately waved his hand.

The archers quickly adjusted their aim, and after several rounds of arrows, the standard-bearer of the black cavalry was shot off his horse.

"Haha! It's really vulnerable!" Chu Ze laughed.

However, before the laughter faded, there was a sudden commotion outside the city, and dozens of enemy generals rode out on their horses and rushed straight to the city gate.

Seeing this, Guo Huai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, they want to storm the city gate!"

"Humph, you want to break through my Tianhai Pass? Wishful thinking!" Chu Ze snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Put kerosene, rolling stones! No mercy!"

At the command, stones rolled like rain, kerosene was poured, and accompanied by the archers' precise strikes, the enemy's vanguard was instantly defeated and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Chu Ze stood on the top of the city wall, his eyes were like torches, and he said coldly: "These are just Xixia's test troops.

The real main force has not yet appeared.

Guo Huai, continue to defend the city, I want to see what tricks they can come up with! " Chu Ze looked at the tragic scene outside the city with cold eyes. Although the battle was fierce, he did not waver at all, as if he was in a storm, but still as steady as a mountain.

At this time, Guo Huai glanced at Chu Ze, and seeing that His Majesty remained calm, he could not help but whispered: "Your Majesty, the enemy seems to have a follow-up plan. Although our army has the upper hand at the moment, I am afraid that the enemy has ambushes hidden, so we must not be careless!"

Chu Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered: "Guo Huai, you are too timid.

"Since I ascended the throne, what conspiracies and intrigues have I not seen? If there are ambushes among our 5,000 soldiers, we can destroy them all at once to prevent them from causing trouble again!"

Hearing this, Guo Huai's expression slightly changed, and he saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and I am ashamed.

However, I am willing to lead a vanguard team to investigate deep into the enemy camp, just in case!"

Chu Ze glanced at him and waved his hand, “No need.

You stay here and command the army, I will take care of this small matter!"

"Your Majesty is going to leave the city in person?" Guo Huai was shocked and said quickly, "Your Majesty is the emperor, how can you take risks so easily? I am willing to share your worries and will never let you take risks!"

Chu Ze's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said coldly: "You are all too cautious and timid, no wonder these barbarians have invaded repeatedly.

If they are not deterred by thundering means, they will only become more rampant.

Only if I personally go into battle can the enemy be terrified and dare not attack again!"

Just as Guo Huai was about to persuade him again, he heard an urgent report from afar: "Report! Ten miles outside the pass, the main forces of Xixia and Mongolia were discovered. There are about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they are approaching the direction of Tianhai Pass!"

Chu Ze smiled coldly and said, "Sure enough, he's here. It's faster than I expected!"

Guo Huai's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the enemy has 20,000 troops and is coming aggressively. We should not rush into battle at this moment. We should hold on to Tianhai Pass and wait for the enemy to tire out!"

"Waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out?" Chu Ze snorted disdainfully, "If we had just sat back and waited for the enemy to come, this customs would have been taken away by the barbarians long ago.

I have never liked to be passive. Today should have been a decisive battle. I will let these enemies know how terrifying the Ming Iron-blooded Army of Tianhai Pass is! "

He turned to look at the soldiers below the city and said loudly: "Order the entire army to immediately line up and march out of the city to fight against the Xixia and Mongolian coalition forces! I will personally lead the army to meet the enemy!"

Guo Huai was secretly shocked when he heard this, but seeing Chu Ze's firm attitude, he dared not say anything more and could only obey the order and said, "I obey your command and immediately arrange for the soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy!"

Chu Ze's expression remained unchanged. He mounted his warhorse majestically, wearing golden armor and with a black gold sword hanging at his waist.

As he moved, the horses neighed and the surrounding soldiers stood in awe, as if they saw the god of war coming.

Qin Yunyun stood aside, looking worried, but ultimately did not try to dissuade him.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you into battle and fight alongside you!"

Chu Ze smiled slightly and said, "Yunyun, you don't have to follow us in this battle, just stay inside the pass.

I'm in front, if you're beside me, you'll be distracted!"

Qin Yunyun knew that persuasion was useless at this time, so she could only nod and said, "I understand, Your Majesty must be careful.

I am waiting for your majesty's triumphant return inside the pass!"

Chu Ze nodded and waved his hand: "The whole army, move out!"

Following Chu Ze's order, the gate of Tianhai Pass slowly opened, and thousands of troops rushed out of the gate in a mighty force.

Chu Ze took the lead and stood at the front of the team, with 50,000 elite iron-blooded soldiers behind him, with flags flying and a strong momentum.

The enemy was only a few miles away from Tianhai Pass. Chu Ze squinted his eyes and saw the rolling dust. The Xixia and Mongolian coalition forces gradually appeared not far away. The army formation was strict, the soldiers' armor was bright, and the troops were neat and uniform, as if a black torrent was sweeping towards Tianhai Pass. (End of this chapter)
