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

Flames were burning under the city, and the entire battlefield seemed to be turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall of Tianhai Pass, with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at the chaotic Mongolian army.

Batur's face was gloomy and he was furious.

He didn't expect that the defenders of Tianhai Pass were not as demoralized as the intelligence said, but instead showed amazing combat effectiveness at the critical moment.

"Chu Ze, you cunning emperor, how dare you lie to me!"

Batur gnashed his teeth, raised his whip suddenly, and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone!"

"Keep the formation, archers, line up, and push forward!"

"Withdraw the remaining soldiers in the front row and fill the gap with the troops in the rear!"

"Use archers to suppress the enemy troops on the city wall. Don't let them continue to disrupt the formation with fire attacks!"

The Mongolian soldiers acted quickly under Batur's command.

The remnants of the defeated soldiers in the front row were withdrawn, and new troops quickly took their place. The horse archers drew their bows and shot a dense rain of arrows at the walls of Tianhai Pass.

The archers on the city wall responded immediately, raising their shields to block the arrows, which made clanging sounds on the city wall.

Chu Ze's expression remained calm, as if the fierce battle before him was not enough to move him.

"Batur, it seems you haven't given up completely."

"However, I want you to understand that this customs is not something you can easily break through."

He glanced coldly at the dense enemy formation, waved his hand lightly, and whispered: "Order the firearms battalion to concentrate firepower and aim at the enemy's rear formation."

"Totally destroy their horse archers."

Lu Bing quickly passed on Chu Ze's order, and the gunners of the firearms battalion immediately adjusted their direction and aimed all their firearms at the archer positions behind the Mongolian army.

"boom!"

The artillery fired at the same time, and the blazing fireballs smashed into the enemy's rear row like meteorites, instantly setting off a sea of ​​fire.

Before the horse archers could launch a second round of arrows, they were blown to the ground by the oncoming fireballs, with screams everywhere.

The Mongolian army's rear positions were instantly thrown into chaos, and the horse archers were suppressed by fierce firepower and were unable to fight back.

When Batur saw this scene, his face became even uglier.

"hateful!"

"Retreat! All archers retreat!"

"Don't send me to death again!"

He shouted sternly, trying to regain the morale of the troops.

However, the power of firearms was too fierce, and the horse archers in the rear were completely thrown into chaos and could no longer form an effective line of defense.

Seeing this, Chu Ze's eyes flashed with a sneer.

"Batur, your rear archers have been destroyed, and the front formation has been disrupted by the fire attack."

"You are now nothing more than a trapped beast that has lost its edge."

"Pass the order."

"Archers, all ready. Artillery fire continues to suppress the rear."

"At the same time, have the sword and shield soldiers and spearmen line up and be ready to attack at any time."

"When the enemy is completely in chaos, it will be the best time for us to counterattack."

Lu Bing quickly clasped his fists and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

He then quickly retreated and conveyed Chu Ze's order to the generals of various departments.

Soon, the archers on the city wall drew their bows and aimed all their arrows at the Mongolian army below the city.

The gunners of the firearms battalion also stared closely at the distance, ready to launch fireballs at any time to deal the most fatal blow to the enemy.

The sword and shield soldiers and spearmen in the city lined up, holding their weapons tightly, ready to rush out of the city gate at any time and engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy.

Batur's eyes swept across the chaotic battlefield before him, and he felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that he had fallen into Chu Ze's trap.

If no decision is made, the entire army will probably be wiped out in front of the customs that day.

"Send the order!"

"All cavalry assembled!"

"Strike the city gate!"

"We can only avoid the enemy's firearms attack if we rush into the city."

"As long as we can break through the city gate, our army still has a chance!"

Batur hardened his heart and quickly gave the order.

He knew that if he continued to struggle here, Chu Ze would only eat away at his strength bit by bit.

Only by burning their boats and directly breaking through the city gates can the main force of the Mongolian army be preserved.

The Mongolian cavalry quickly assembled, brandishing sabers and launching a fierce attack towards the gate of Tianhai Pass. They tried to use the cavalry's charge to directly break open the gate, break into the city, and completely disrupt Chu Ze's defensive formation.

However, Chu Ze, who was standing on the city wall, smiled coldly, as if he had already seen through Batur's intentions.

"Batur, storm the city gate?"

"Do you think you can save your army this way?"

"I want you to know that any attack is futile in the face of absolute defense."

"Send the order!"

"The artillery should concentrate on attacking the enemy cavalry, leaving no blind spots."

"The spearmen are lined up, ready to fight at any time."

"Sword and shield soldiers are waiting at the city gate."

"Make sure to keep the enemy out of the city gate!"

"Don't let any in!"

Following Chu Ze's order, the city's defensive forces immediately went into full operation.

The artillery of the firearms battalion adjusted its angles and aimed at the enemy cavalry's charge route.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Fireballs continuously hit the enemy's cavalry formation, and the blazing flames engulfed the Mongolian cavalry who tried to charge.

The horses screamed miserably, the cavalrymen rolled and struggled in the flames, and the entire charging formation collapsed in an instant.

When Batur saw this scene, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he could no longer break through Chu Ze's defense.

"retreat!"

"The whole army retreats!"

"Give up the attack and retreat to the camp immediately!"

He gave stern orders, trying to withdraw the remaining soldiers and preserve the last bit of strength.

However, Chu Ze had already seen through his intentions, so how could he give him this opportunity?

"Send the order!"

"Archers and firearms battalions, continue to suppress the enemy's rear."

"Sword and shield soldiers attack!"

"Outflank the enemy and cut off their retreat."

"The spearmen block the city gates and never let the enemy escape!"

"Today, I will wipe out Batur's entire army!"

Following Chu Ze's order, the sword and shield soldiers in the city attacked quickly. Holding heavy shields, they went around the enemy's flanks and tried to trap the enemy under the city.

The spearmen lined up to block the city gate and stabbed to the ground the Mongolian cavalry who tried to break through.

The situation on the battlefield was completely reversed.

Under the suppression of firepower, the Mongolian army has lost its fighting spirit.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Batur's face turned pale and he almost gritted his teeth.

"Chu Ze, you are such a sinister emperor!"

"Even if I, Batur, die, I will not let you succeed so easily!"

He suddenly drew out the saber from his waist, swung it fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Everyone listen!"

"Although we were defeated today, we must not allow the enemy to slaughter us so easily!"

"Everyone scatter and break out!"

"Conserve your strength and bide your time!"

"We haven't lost the battle yet!"

The Mongolian soldiers responded one after another. They fled in all directions according to Batur's orders, trying to disperse Chu Ze's pursuit force.

However, Chu Ze was well prepared.

He glanced coldly at the chaotic enemy troops and said calmly, "Want to break out in different directions?"

"Batur, you underestimate me."

"Pass the order."

"The Firearms Battalion adjusted its direction and concentrated all its firepower on the enemy's breakout route."

"The archers also suppressed them, leaving no chance of escape."

"Today, I want Batur to understand."

"This customs is not something you can easily break through." (End of this chapter)
