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

Chu Ze looked at the still chaotic battlefield ahead, his eyes slightly focused, and then he said to Lu Bing beside him: "Lu Bing, tell the archers in the rear to prepare rockets! I want to see how the barbarians respond!"

"I obey your command!" Lu Bing flew away. Soon, the archers in the rear had gathered, each drawing their bows, ready to shoot rockets.

"Fire arrows!"

At Chu Ze's command, rockets flew towards the enemy positions like raindrops, instantly igniting the vanguard troops of Mongolia and Western Xia.

The enemy troops were caught off guard and were hit by rockets one after another. Screams were heard and the formation was in chaos.

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really not easy to deal with!" In the distance, a Xixia general wearing heavy armor saw this, his face changed, and then he shouted angrily: "Don't panic, hold your ground! Cavalry, prepare, attack from the flank!"

"Your Majesty, the enemy cavalry is attacking our flank!" A messenger hurried to Chu Ze and reported.

"Humph, you want to attack me from the flank?" Chu Ze sneered, "Lu Bing, lead a team of cavalry to fight!"

"Yes, sir!" Lu Bing took the order and immediately led a team of cavalry to rush towards the enemy's flank.

The cavalry of the two armies clashed, the horses neighed, and the sound of swords and spears clashing was deafening.

Chu Ze watched the battle situation coldly, secretly calculating in his mind.

Although the enemy was coming in full force, he knew that the outcome of the battle would depend on the strategy and patience of both sides.

The battle lasted for a full half hour, and the Mongolian and Western Xia coalition forces gradually showed signs of fatigue and low morale.

Under the command of Chu Ze, the Ming Dynasty's Iron-Blooded Army always maintained high morale and advanced step by step.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of movement in the enemy's rear, and it seems they are retreating!" Guo Huai, with a bloody face, rode his horse to Chu Ze and reported in a low voice.

"Retreat?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It seems that these barbarians can't hold on any longer.

Pass on my order, chase! "

"Your Majesty, they are pretending to retreat!" Lu Bing advised hurriedly.

"Feign retreat?" Chu Ze smiled coldly: "Even if it's a fake retreat, I'm not afraid! Order the whole army to follow me in pursuit!"

"Yes!" Although Lu Bing had some concerns, he did not dare to persuade him anymore and immediately issued an order to the entire army.

The Ming Dynasty's iron-blooded army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, chasing relentlessly.

Although the joint forces of Mongolia and Western Xia were defeated, they gradually fell apart and fled in all directions under the pursuit of the main army.

"Your Majesty, victory has been decided. Do we need to continue the pursuit?" Guo Huai rode to Chu Ze and asked in a low voice.

“Stop!” Chu Ze waved his hand, stopped the pursuit, and said coldly: “I am not in a hurry to kill them all.

After these barbarians fled back, they started fighting among themselves.

I want to see what other tricks they can come up with!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Guo Huai replied with his head down.

"Pass the order down, the entire army will reorganize on the spot, and will withdraw the troops after the enemy has completely retreated!" Chu Ze looked around and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Lu Bing and Guo Huai accepted the order in unison, and then went to arrange military affairs.

Outside Tianhai Pass, the battlefield was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Although the Mongolian and Western Xia coalition forces had a large number of troops, the Ming Dynasty's iron-blooded army, under the leadership of Chu Ze, always had the upper hand and forced the enemy to retreat step by step.

"I want to see if these barbarians dare to invade Tianhai Pass again next time!" Chu Ze said coldly, standing on a high place.

The war came to an end, and the Ming Dynasty's Iron-Blooded Army began to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.

Chu Ze stood on the high platform, overlooking the entire battlefield, his heart calm.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated. Do we need to pursue them?" Lu Bing stepped forward again to ask.

"Chase?" Chu Ze shook his head and said calmly, "No need. I am not in a hurry to kill them all. Leaving them a way out may lead to bigger fish!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bing said no more, just nodded, and then arranged for the soldiers to continue cleaning up the battlefield.

"Pass the order down, the fighting will be suspended today, and training will continue tomorrow. Don't let your guard down!" Chu Ze glanced around, then turned and walked towards the tent.

"Yes!" Lu Bing and others immediately accepted the order.

"Your Majesty, spies at the front reported that the Western Xia army seems to be gathering its forces with the intention of attacking Tianhai Pass again!" Guo Huai hurriedly walked into the tent and reported with a fist clasped.

Chu Ze looked up at him and put down the map in his hand.

"Against the odds?" Chu Ze said calmly, "Are these barbarians still not frightened by the lesson they learned last time? How many troops have they assembled?"

Guo Huai lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The spies reported that there are about 20,000 people!"

"Hmph, 20,000 people? That's half the number of last time!" Chu Ze sneered, "It seems they are just bluffing. Without the Mongolian God of War, what else do they want to do?"

"Your Majesty, they must have a plan for this. I'm afraid it's not just harassment!" Lu Bing added, "In my opinion, they are most likely trying to delay our army and wait for an opportunity to take other actions!"

Chu Ze nodded, turned and walked to the map, glancing at the two of them.

"You two, what do you think they will do this time?"

Lu Bing was silent for a moment, then he spoke: "I think they are probably planning to divide their forces to attack our flank, or set up an ambush outside Tianhai Pass, and then suddenly attack us after our army has launched an attack!"

"Divide the troops?" Chu Ze frowned: "It is useless to divide the troops, Tianhai Pass is impregnable and cannot be easily breached.

As for ambush, it may not work.

After all, my people are not vegetarians!"

Guo Huai patted his chest and said firmly: "Your Majesty is right. Every member of the Iron Blood Army of the Ming Dynasty is a brave general and will never be afraid of such a small trick.

If the enemy dares to ambush us, I will lead my troops to kill them by surprise!"

"Okay!" Chu Ze laughed: "I trust you.

Since they dare to come, let them know that if they come, they will die! Guo Huai, you take a team of people and go around behind them and wait for an opportunity to act. There is no need to rush to take action. Wait for my signal!"

"Yes, sir!" Guo Huai clasped his fists, turned around and walked away quickly.

Lu Bing looked at Chu Ze and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, will you lead the army in person this time?"

Chu Ze waved his hand and said coldly: "I will naturally lead the troops myself.

How can I feel at ease if I don't completely subdue these barbarians?"

Lu Bing nodded and said no more.

"Pass the order down, the whole army will line up and follow me to fight!"

"Yes, sir!" Lu Bing took the order and left. Soon, drums sounded in the camp and the soldiers began to gather quickly.

Chu Ze put on his armor, walked slowly out of the tent, stood on the high platform, and looked down at the assembled iron-blooded army.

The soldiers lined up in neat rows, each with a solemn expression, weapons in hand, and murderous intent.

"Today, I will personally lead the troops to defeat the barbarians! Listen carefully, you are not allowed to retreat even a single step! If anyone dares to escape from the battlefield, I will personally behead him!"

"We swear to be loyal to Your Majesty and defend the Ming Dynasty until death!" The soldiers shouted in unison, shaking the whole area.

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, jumped on his horse, and raised the sword in his hand.

"Follow me and kill the enemy!"

The team moved quickly, with the elite cavalry of the Iron Blood Army charging in the front, followed closely by the infantry, and marching towards the outside of Tianhai Pass in a mighty force. (End of this chapter)
