Ming Dynasty: The poisonous imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang advised me to be kind

Chapter 112 Wang Baobao’s slogan, capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive!

The Ming army, led by Xu Da, Tang He, Li Wenzhong and others, set out in several directions in a mighty and shocking manner.

Because it was a night attack, in order to cover up the sound, the infantry marched without lighting torches, relying entirely on the faint light of the stars.

The requirements for cavalry were even more stringent. The hooves of all war horses were wrapped with white cloth, their muzzles were covered, and even the people had to bite wooden sticks. The preparation work was done to the extreme.

Xu Da and his men led the army forward, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also in the camp, watching them go out with a worried look on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how the battle would turn out, but he knew it was very risky.

The two garrison soldiers of Chu Nan also followed Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements and began to act.

In order to protect himself, Chu Nan specially got a set of high-quality armor and put it on himself.

After receiving some benefits from Chu Nan, the soldiers and generals of the two garrisons also began to protect Chu Nan very seriously. In addition to Chu Nan's twenty personal soldiers, there were shieldmen and elite soldiers around him.

Zhu Di and Fu Zhong were naturally well protected, so Chu Nan felt at ease.

Then, the expeditionary army disappeared into the night, and the Ming army camp became much quieter because 150,000 people were suddenly reduced to 25,000 people.

Although the Ming army camp was quiet, the traitors within the Ming army did not become depressed.

In a tent, a Ming army general and a Ming army soldier were communicating with each other. Upon closer inspection, the general was none other than Zuo Qianhu, a traitor within the Ming army.

At this moment, his eyes were sinister: "Go out from the back door, hurry up and tell the Beiyuan people that the news is reliable, and ask them to come quickly."

"Is it really reliable?" The soldier couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's reliable. Are you stupid? Didn't you see Xu Da and his army left?"

"And I have just confirmed that Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu are still in the camp, and Zhu Yuanzhang is still eating. There must be no trap. Hurry up and report the news. If you miss the opportunity, you will not be able to bear the responsibility."

"Yes!" Then the soldier secretly left the camp to deliver the message.

But Captain Zuo still felt uneasy, so he called in another traitor and asked him to go out and pass on the message.

Today his men are guarding the back door of the camp, so he can let out a few people if he wants, so there is nothing wrong at all.

But what Captain Zuo didn't know was that everything he did was actually under the surveillance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Zhu Yuanzhang's camp.

Mao Xiang was standing here and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the person has been released."

"Yeah." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after listening, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"I never thought that there would be people in my Ming Dynasty who would sell out their country for personal gain. How despicable."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Mao Xiang immediately sneered.

"We have already put them under surveillance. We won't let any of them go."

"That's fine." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and stood up.

"Then let's get started. I'm leaving too."

"Yes." Then, Mao Xiang waved his hand, and a man with a similar figure and appearance to Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe, appeared in front of the two.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang let him sit on the throne to work, but he covered it slightly with memorials to prevent people from recognizing him.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang took off his dragon robe, put on casual clothes, put on a black robe, and then rode a fast horse, accompanied by the Jinyiwei guards, and went straight out of the camp. Then the camp returned to peace.

But outside the camp, things were getting uneasy. Not far from the camp, groups of Northern Yuan cavalrymen wearing leather armor began to appear. They held scimitars, wore bamboo hats, and rode horses that were stronger than the elite Ming army horses.

It was the cavalry army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was led by Wang Baobao, the prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the King of Henan, and a famous general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who was called a "remarkable man of the Northern Yuan Dynasty" by Zhu Yuanzhang. There were a total of 100,000 people and the momentum was huge.

But the other Northern Yuan generals around Wang Baobao were puzzled: "Your Majesty, aren't there only 25,000 people in the enemy camp? And we are attacking by surprise, why do we still need to lead 100,000 people? And you are leading the troops in person?"

"You don't understand?" But when Wang Baobao heard the general's words, he looked at the Ming army camp in front of him, which was small in number but brightly lit, and smiled and shook his head.

"I have fought Xu Da in the past few years and have rarely won. Xu Da is too powerful, so I am afraid this is his trick."

"And this time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who led the troops himself. Zhu Yuanzhang is more powerful than Xu Da. And don't you know the news from the Ming court? We are told to be careful of a young man named Chu Nan. This Chu Nan is even more terrifying than Xu Da and his men."

"So we should wait and see what happens inside the camp. Our people inside will pass on the news to us."

Wang Baobao was still very cautious. He made an agreement with the traitor within the Ming army that at midnight they would use torches to pass on a message. If there was news, they could attack with confidence. If there was no news, they would wait.

"Got it, got it." At this time, a deputy general pointed to a torch that was swaying in a special pattern in the Ming army camp, and became happy.

“It’s safe!”

"Good!" Seeing this situation, Wang Baobao suddenly became excited and looked directly at all the generals around him.

"Brothers, if Nanjing is lost, we can retreat across the Yellow River. If the Yellow River is lost, we can retreat back to the grassland. But what about the grassland?"

"When fighting against the Ming army, Xu Da had Zhu Yuanzhang's endless supply of food and grass behind him, but I only have this piece of grassland behind me."

"But today is different. Zhu Yuanzhang is actually here. As long as we capture him alive, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. Then it will be easy to kill him back in the Central Plains!"

"Pass on this king's order, kill the enemy today and capture Zhu Chongba alive!"

"Yes!" Then the deputy general beside him passed the slogan directly on.

"Today's slogan for killing the enemy is to capture Zhu Chongba alive!"

"Today's slogan for killing the enemy is to capture Zhu Chongba alive!"

Then, the vanguard of the Northern Yuan Dynasty people sneaked over under the cover of darkness.

They were well-trained and quickly got very close to the Ming army camp.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Without any further ado, countless arrows shot in.

"Ah, ah, ah!" The Ming army soldiers who were on guard on the top of the stronghold were shot dead on the spot.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Seeing this situation, the remaining soldiers also reacted and shouted.

"The enemy attacked at night! The enemy attacked at night!"

"Ah, defend quickly!" The Ming army camp immediately became active. Although there were only 25,000 people, they did not retreat, but instead began to defend.

"Charge!" Seeing this situation, Wang Baobao did not say any more and directly ordered the army to attack.

"It's time to avenge the Yuan soldiers killed by the Ming army!"

"Charge!" the soldiers also shouted.

"Capture Zhu Chongba alive!"

"Capture Zhu Chongba alive!"
