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

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze said coldly: "Retreat? Do they think they can retreat? Order the entire army to chase them, and don't let them leave easily!"

Guo Huai immediately accepted the order: "I will arrange it right away!"

Five hundred cavalrymen gathered again and quickly pursued the retreating Western Xia army.

Chu Ze rode his horse at the front of the team, long sword in hand and a determined look in his eyes.

Soon after, the Xixia army appeared in sight. Chu Ze raised his long sword and said, "Charge forward and annihilate them!"

The cavalry charged into the enemy camp like a torrent, invincible.

The soldiers of Western Xia had already lost their fighting spirit and dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, but no matter how they fled, they could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry.

The battle lasted for several hours, and the Western Xia army was almost wiped out. The remaining remnants were completely defeated and fled in all directions.

The battle was gradually coming to an end. Chu Ze rode his horse and stood in front of the battle formation, looking coldly at the fleeing Xixia soldiers in front of him. He swung his long sword and said in a cold voice: "Chase them! Don't leave any of them alive!"

Guo Huai loudly accepted the order and quickly pursued with 500 cavalrymen. The sound of horse hooves resounded like thunder across the battlefield.

The enemy was no longer able to resist and could only flee in all directions, but facing the crushing force of the cavalry, they had no way to escape.

"Your Majesty! There are still some remnants of soldiers fleeing towards the valley ahead!" A personal guard rode up to Chu Ze and reported with a bow.

"Valley?" Chu Ze smiled slightly. "It's a good place to ambush them. Pass the order down. Two teams of cavalry will encircle them from both sides. The rest of the people will attack from the front and block their retreat!"

The guard clasped his fists and accepted the order, then rode away immediately.

Soon after, the sound of fierce fighting was heard at the entrance of the valley.

Chu Ze rode to the entrance of the valley and saw from afar that Guo Huai and his cavalry had successfully forced the enemy into the valley. The enemy was attacked from both wings and was completely unable to resist. They could only fall down in despair.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has been completely surrounded, and I am organizing a war of annihilation!" Guo Huai rode his horse to Chu Ze with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Very good, don't leave them alive!" Chu Ze said calmly: "After dealing with this group, Xixia's main force will lose its last support!"

Guo Huai immediately clasped his fists and said, "I understand!"

Following Chu Ze's order, the cavalrymen intensified the siege. The enemy had no power to resist and fell in a pool of blood one after another.

The battle lasted less than half an hour before the enemy forces in the valley were completely wiped out, and the valley was littered with corpses.

"Your Majesty, the enemy troops have been completely destroyed!" Guo Huai rode back on horseback and reported with a bow.

Chu Ze said coldly: "Very good, order people to clean up the battlefield and don't leave any traces!"

"I will arrange it right away!" Guo Huai took the order and left.

A moment later, Lu Bing arrived with a small group of soldiers and said, "Your Majesty, I have successfully blocked the Xixia army's food supply route and cut off their retreat. The enemy has no food to use and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for a few days!"

Chu Ze nodded: "Very good.

Their morale will be disrupted, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out their main force in one fell swoop!"

Lu Bing saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I have ordered the scouts to continue monitoring the enemy's movements and be ready to launch a general attack at any time!"

“Don’t worry!” Chu Ze waved his hand: “It’s only a matter of time before they collapse. We just need to keep putting pressure on them. It won’t be too late to attack them again after they completely collapse!”

Lu Bing nodded: "I obey your command!"

Chu Ze turned and looked at the Xixia military camp in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to send people to monitor, and any movement must be reported immediately!"

"I understand!" Lu Bing clasped his fists, then took the order and left.

Soon after, the guard came over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Xixia army that the enemy commander seems to be mobilizing the remaining troops to prepare for a breakout!"

"Break out?" Chu Ze sneered, "Do they think they can break out? Order the entire army to prepare for battle. I will annihilate them completely before they make a move!"

"Yes!" The guards immediately received the order. Guo Huai rushed over and after hearing Chu Ze's order, he said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I have arranged the formation and can fight at any time!"

"Very good, as soon as they move, we will attack!" Chu Ze's eyes were cold.

Soon after, urgent news came from the front that the Western Xia army had begun to gather, apparently intending to break out by force.

Chu Ze immediately ordered: "All troops, press forward, don't let them have any chance!"

Five hundred cavalrymen were dispatched again, and with the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers, the Western Xia army was completely suppressed, their formation was in chaos, their morale was low, and they were unable to launch an effective counterattack.

Guo Huai brandished his spear and charged forward, turning back and shouting, "Your Majesty, they can't hold on any longer!"

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive!" Chu Ze gave an order, and the cavalrymen completely engulfed the enemy army like a torrent.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the remnants of Western Xia were completely wiped out.

There was no one left standing on the battlefield, only countless corpses piled on the ground.

Guo Huai panted, rushed to Chu Ze, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the enemy army has been annihilated!"

"Very good!" Chu Ze glanced at him and said, "Order people to clean up the battlefield and confiscate all supplies. No waste is allowed!"

"I will arrange it right away!" Guo Huai took the order and left.

Chu Ze stood there, looking into the distance, and said coldly: "Since Xixia has no power to resist, I will destroy them completely!"

Lu Bing came over and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, I have prepared a large army and can march to Xixia Royal City at any time!"

"Order the entire army to rest for two days and prepare to attack the Xixia Royal City!" Chu Ze said coldly: "I want them to know the consequences of angering the Ming Dynasty!"

Lu Bing clasped his fists and accepted the order: "I will arrange it immediately!"

Chu Ze stood outside the tent, watching the soldiers working busy and intensely.

Lu Bing and Guo Huai have already reorganized the army and are ready to attack the Western Xia royal city at any time.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready!" Guo Huai walked over quickly and bowed to report.

"Very good!" Chu Ze nodded, and then asked: "How about the food and grass?"

Lu Bing followed closely behind, clasping his fists and saying, "There is enough food and grass to sustain the army for two months!"

Chu Ze glanced at him and said, “Two months is enough, Xixia can’t hold out that long.

Order the entire army to set out at noon tomorrow and take the Western Xia royal city!"

Guo Huai and Lu Bing clasped their fists at the same time: "As you command!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly, turned around and walked back into the tent.

The soldiers behind him were still busy, preparing for tomorrow's action.

A moment later, the guard walked into the tent and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy commander may have learned that we are about to attack. Do we need to send more scouts to monitor?"

"It is necessary to send more scouts!" Chu Ze said calmly, "But not too many. What I want is for the enemy to think that we will stay put!"

The guard clasped his hands and said, "I will arrange it right away!"

Chu Ze waved his hand, and the guards turned and left.

The next day, just after dawn, Chu Ze got up, put on his armor, and walked to the center of the camp.

The 50,000-man army has assembled. The soldiers are holding weapons, lined up in neat rows, and are full of vigor. (End of this chapter)
