Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

"Khan, go!"

Huerta was so frightened when he saw this that he kept whipping the horse with the whip in his hand.

One of his generals stayed behind to clean up the mess!
After finally seeing Huerta leave, he immediately met Zhu Xiongying.

"Little Zhu, let me meet you!"

"Look at the knife!"

Zhu Xiongying yelled, "Get out of here!"

The silver spear in his hand swept the general and knocked him flying.

Pfft!
He fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Xiongying sneered and continued to stab with his gun.

With a bang, the general was swept away again.

At this time, Huerta and his men had already escaped a long distance.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Huerta's back and became furious. He immediately started to curse: "Damn it!"

He turned to look at the enemy general, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Damn it, it's all because of you."

As he spoke, he stabbed the general again with the silver spear in his hand.

With a "whoosh", the silver spear pierced through the enemy general's chest and nailed him to the ground.

Blood spurted out, spilling onto the ground, dyeing a large area of ​​land red.

Chagatai's army quickly retreated after drawing their silver spears.

As the army retreated, there was cheering on the city walls!
"Enter the city!"

"Yes!"

....................................

In the city!

Zhu Chong immediately welcomed Zhu Xiongying into the city!
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"See Your Highness!"

Zhu Chong led everyone to pay their respects to Zhu Xiongying.

"Uncle, what are you doing? How can an uncle bow to his nephew?"

Zhu Xiongying quickly helped him up.

"Everyone, please get up!"

"You are all heroes of our Ming Dynasty. It is you who have protected the safety of Pinghua City."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Second uncle is injured? I'm too late!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at the soldiers in front of him, all of whom were in a miserable state and covered in blood.

Zhu Chong shook his head: "What are you talking about? If you come later, you won't be able to see us."

"This is not the place to talk, let's go..."

"it is good!"

......................................................

Zhu Chong’s residence!

"Uncle, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Zhu Chong sighed deeply.

"It's all my fault for not keeping a close eye on my subordinates, and a traitor appeared!"

"Wan Xingwen has always worked under me, and I admire him very much."

"But I didn't expect this bastard to actually be a traitor to the country. It was he who secretly communicated with Huerta and led Huerta to invade. I led the troops to fight."

"It was this bastard who revealed our army's intentions to Huerta, leading to our defeat and the death of tens of thousands of soldiers."

"I was also forced to retreat to Pinghua City. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been killed by Huerta."

"Alas! I am so sorry for those tens of thousands of soldiers! If I had discovered it earlier, it wouldn't have happened."

"My deputy general also died trying to save me. He was a good brother who had followed me for many years!"

Zhu Chong showed a look of guilt. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers were gone just like that.

Those were the most elite troops under Zhu Chong. It would be a lie to say I didn't feel sorry for them.

"Uncle, don't blame yourself. You don't want this to happen."

"Xiong Ying, I must avenge them and severely punish Wan Xingwen."

"How many people did you bring this time?"

Zhu Chong's eyes were filled with endless anger.

"This time, in order to relieve the danger in Pinghua City, I brought a thousand people ahead, and the main force is still behind."

“How long will it take for the main force to arrive?”

"It's not clear yet. There's probably still some distance to go."

"But don't worry, Uncle, the soldiers' revenge will definitely be avenged."

Zhu Chong did not respond. After a moment's silence, he said, "With this amount of troops, I am worried that the main force has not arrived yet. If Huerta reacts, they will continue to besiege the city."

"By then, we'll all be in danger!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying burst into laughter!
"Uncle, don't panic!"

"With me, Yunxun and Tiankuixing here, even if there are millions of troops on the other side, what does it matter?"

Zhu Yunhuan on the side also smiled.

"Uncle, what Big Brother said is right. With us here, we won't be afraid even if there are millions of soldiers on the other side."

"Besides, my eldest brother has brought the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun with him. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"Eighteen Riders of Yanyun?"

Zhu Chong frowned slightly.

"Doesn't that only exist in legends?"

"Even if he really exists, he belongs to Luo Yi. It has been hundreds of years now. How could he exist?"

Zhu Chong obviously didn't believe it.

"Your Highness Prince Qin, have you forgotten the black color that followed His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yuan Tiangang on the side spoke up.

Hearing this, Zhu Chong immediately recalled the dozen or so people who followed Zhu Xiongying on the battlefield before.

Under the leadership of Zhu Xiongying, they rushed towards the enemy with overwhelming force, leaving no grass growing wherever they passed.

Then Zhu Chong’s face became uneasy!

"You...are you telling the truth?"

"Of course!"

"That was trained by my eldest brother himself. You saw it with your own eyes, so how could it be false?"

Zhu Yunhuan standing aside was so proud that people thought it was his!

In fact, everyone knows how the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun came about just by thinking.

"I thought that was your special forces!"

Zhu Chong asked in confusion.

"Second Uncle, now that we are here, it's not us who should be worried, it's them."

"Calm down!"

"Second Uncle, you heal your wounds first, and leave the rest to me."

Zhu Chong nodded, and Zhu Xiongying turned around and left with his men.

....................................

Zhu Xiongying's residence!
"Yuan Tiangang, send someone out. I don't need to tell you what to do, right?"

"understand!"

Yuan Tiangang's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

"Luo Fei, Li Chuan!"

"exist!"

"You two go and urge Li Jinglong to tell them to hurry up."

"Yes!"

The two of them immediately turned and left.

"Brother, what should I do?"

Zhu Xiongying looked up at Zhu Yunhuan.

"Take your men to maintain order in the city and don't let anyone sneak in."

"what?"

"What? You picked it?"

"Now that Second Uncle is injured, if you don't go, who will?"

"Go!" "Got it!"

Zhu Yunhuan turned around and left helplessly.

............................................................

Huerta Camp!
Inside the central military tent!
Huerta is furious!
"Bastard!"

"It was almost there, it was almost there, it was almost there to kill Zhu Chong."

"And you lost two of my generals, you bastard!"

As he said that, he kicked the table in front of him.

The people below were trembling with fear and no one dared to speak.

"Zhu Xiongying!"

"I must kill you!"

Huerta's eyes were full of murderous intent. He hated Zhu Xiongying so much that his back teeth were itching to break.

After a while!
Huerta finally calmed down.

"Tell me how to deal with Zhu Xiongying."

After these words were spoken, the people below looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

As much as they underestimated Zhu Xiongying in the beginning, they are as fearful of him now. Who would dare to attack an army of 100,000 with a thousand men?

And they're still chasing after an army of 100,000!
Who can?

"say!"

"Aren't you usually quite talkative? Huh? Speak!"

Huerta became furious and was filled with anger when he saw the person in front of him.

"Great Khan, the Zhu Xiongying brothers are like Xiang Yu in the world, and with the Bad Commander here, we can only use our wits to deal with them, not act rashly."

Hearing Wan Xingwen's words, Huerta's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Tell me, how can we outsmart them?"

Wan Xingwen pondered for a moment and said, "Great Khan, Zhu Xiongying has only brought a thousand men to rescue his uncle, so the force is not large."

"If we launch a fierce attack on Pinghua City at this time, even if they are powerful, they are just one person."

"Their main force hasn't arrived yet. They don't have many soldiers. If we kill them, even if they are brave, they will eventually run out of strength."

"Aren't you asking our soldiers to die?"

Wan Xingwen was interrupted by others before he could finish his words.

"That's right! Don't you see how fierce they are?"

"A thousand of us are chasing after a hundred thousand of us, and now you still want us to storm Pinghua City?"

"Do you think that's possible?"

"Khan, I suspect this kid has bad intentions and wants to destroy our son."

"That's right!"

"This person has ulterior motives..."

"..."

For a time, Wan Xingwen became the target of public criticism, and everyone criticized him.

"General Wan, you have seen before that they are quite powerful. If we fight against them, we will only cause more casualties."

"This method is inappropriate!"

"Think of another one!"

Faced with Huerta's doubts, Wan Xingwen was not discouraged.

"Khan, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Oh?"

"Khan, the attack is just a cover, the main thing is to launch a surprise attack."

"Set a cold arrow?"

Wan Xingwen nodded and said, "The Zhu Xiongying brothers and that Bad Leader are too powerful in martial arts. They are no match for us in a head-on confrontation."

"Only by shooting from behind can we have a chance to kill them. Khan, you only need to arrange a few archers to hide in the dark."

"When they are fighting, we will shoot arrows at them directly. Even if we cannot kill them in one fell swoop, it will weaken our fighting power."

"Let the soldiers charge forward, and there will be nothing we cannot capture."

"Then the Khan will kill one of the Ming emperor's princes and two of his grandsons, one of whom is the crown prince. This will certainly deal a heavy blow to the Ming dynasty."

When Huerta heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. That’s right!

Although this method is a bit despicable, isn't war about using any means necessary?
Thinking of this, Huerta was in a good mood!
"Ha ha……"

"General Wan still has many ways!"

"Well! Let's use this method!"

"But I want to say one thing. If you can capture him alive, that's the best. If you can't, then kill him."

"The living princes and grandchildren are always more valuable than the dead ones."

"Make arrangements immediately and surround Pinghua City again in three days."

"Yes!"

............................................................

Three days later!
The horn sounded in Pinghua City!

Everyone is preparing for battle!

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Chong led their men to the top of the city wall. Looking down, they saw Chagatai's army densely packed below.

Huerta attacked again with a large army.

The army was like a dark cloud approaching, the military formation stretched for miles, the flags blocked out the sun, and the sound of war drums was deafening.

In the army, cavalry were lined up in battle formations, the sound of horse hooves rolled in like thunder, and the dust raised covered the sky, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

They held big swords in their hands and walked steadily, as unshakable as mountains.

Archers were stationed on both wings, their arrows flashing deadly cold light in the sunlight. With just one order, they could be transformed into a dense net of death.

Huerta sat high on his horse, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning the Pinghua City in front of him, his face full of confidence that he was determined to win.

The generals behind him also had solemn expressions and were ready for battle, waiting for Huerta's order to send their troops forward, as if they could raze the city to the ground.

The oppressive feeling before the war hung over everyone's heart. The air seemed to be frozen. Only the sound of war drums and horse hooves kept reminding people that a bloody battle was about to come.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Chong stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the army coming like a tide, without any fear in their eyes.

The soldiers in Pinghua City also had resolute expressions, holding their weapons tightly, waiting for the upcoming battle.

"attack!"

Suddenly, a command was given by the tower, a horn sounded, and the army began to attack the city wall.

Chagatai's army was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, madly attacking the walls of Pinghua City.

The sound of war drums, horse hooves, and shouts intertwined together to form a tragic war song that echoed between heaven and earth.

On the city wall, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Chong stood side by side, their eyes sharp as torches, watching the army surging like an ant swarm below.

"Fire arrows!"

At Zhu Xiongying's command, the archers on the city wall quickly got into action, and arrows poured down like raindrops, shooting towards the attacking enemy.

The arrows drew graceful arcs in the air and landed accurately among the enemy troops, causing wailing cries to ring out immediately.

However, Chagatai's army did not retreat, but instead charged forward even more frantically.

They were armed with broadswords, wearing heavy armor, and were as unshakable as mountains.

Under the leadership of Huerta, they continued to break through the Ming army's defense lines and approached the city wall.

Zhu Xiongying frowned when he saw this. If the enemy was allowed to break through the city wall, the people of Pinghua City would be doomed.

So he decisively ordered: "All soldiers, prepare to fight!"

Following Zhu Xiongying's order, the Ming army soldiers on the city wall clenched their weapons, preparing for the upcoming hand-to-hand combat.

They looked resolute and fearless, as if they were ready to sacrifice at any time.

In a blink of an eye, Chagatai's army had rushed to the bottom of the city wall and climbed up along the ladders.

They waved their swords and slashed wildly at the Ming troops on the city wall.

The Ming army soldiers did not retreat. They brandished spears, swords and other weapons and engaged in a fierce fight with the enemy.

On the battlefield, swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Every confrontation was accompanied by screams and wails.

"Come at me!"

Zhu Xiongying shouted loudly and rushed forward first, killing the enemy.

His figure was like a flash of lightning, and he rushed into the enemy army in an instant.

He wielded the spear in his hand, invincible, and constantly repelled the enemy's attacks.

Everyone on the battlefield was waving their weapons, shouting and roaring, as if they wanted to pour out all their anger and strength on the battlefield.

The soldiers of both sides engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Every confrontation was accompanied by screams and wails, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

There were broken limbs and arms everywhere, blood was splattered everywhere, and screams were heard everywhere. (End of this chapter)
