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

Chapter 132 Wang Baobao is in pain, Chu Nan bullies me!

"Your Majesty..." Everyone present was shocked when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Yes, the one before him was not a pampered emperor, but a legendary emperor who rose from a beggar.

Xu Da and his men even recalled that when Zhu Yuanzhang led them to charge, they had to brave a hail of artillery fire and rockets. So there was no reason to be afraid of taking this risk now.

After realizing this, everyone present stopped talking and agreed directly.

"I respect your majesty's order!"

Afterwards, Xu Da and others went out and prepared for the expedition.

"Let's go too." Zhu Biao, Zhu Chong and others didn't say anything more. This was a good opportunity to learn skills on the battlefield, so they all went out.

"Great, they've all grown up." Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy.

My sons all want to learn skills like this, they have really grown up.

Chu Nan was also relieved to see this scene. In this way, the Ming Dynasty would have many talented royal generals.

"Chu Nan, are you weird?" But just when Chu Nan was relieved, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

"Others have asked for orders to go to war, risking their lives, but you have enjoyed so many resources from the Ming Dynasty, and I have treated you so well. Why don't you go and kill the enemy? Are you planning to be lazy here?"

"Ah?" Chu Nan didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually ask him to kill the enemy, and he hurriedly spoke seriously.

"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that you will be left without protection. If the enemy attacks, I will protect you with my life. Anyone who dares to hurt you will have to walk over my dead body!"

"So I think my role in protecting you here is more important than going to the battlefield!"

"I will take the two guards with me to set up defenses now and will make sure you are well protected." After saying this, Chu Nan turned around and was about to escape.

"You kid!" But when Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chu Nan's condition, he almost died of anger.

He spoke directly to Zhu Di who was standing beside him: "Take him over to Xu Da and let him follow his orders. If you dare to run, I will kill him!"

"Yes!" Zhu Di didn't say anything more and took Chu Nan away directly. Chu Nan had no choice. Meeting such an unreasonable person was like a scholar meeting a soldier. He couldn't explain himself clearly.

The Ming army camp was deploying troops.

More than a hundred miles away, the Northern Yuan army, led by Wang Baobao, was killing happily.

The thick smell of blood, accompanied by the sound of steel colliding, filled the air, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere.

At this moment, the Ming army and the Northern Yuan people had no formation to speak of. They were mixed together and killing each other indiscriminately. There were Northern Yuan people among the Ming army, and there were Ming army among the Northern Yuan people.

But if you look closely, you will find that the Ming army's disadvantage is getting bigger and bigger, because although the Ming army is better equipped than the Northern Yuan people, it is after all smaller in number and all of them are infantry.

The Northern Yuan people were all cavalry, so the Ming army naturally became more and more disadvantaged as the battle went on.

In half an hour, more than a thousand people were killed or wounded, and only a few hundred people were still resisting. According to such a casualty ratio, they should have surrendered and fled long ago.

But they did not surrender, because they knew that running away would mean death, and surrendering would mean death, so they could only fight to the death.

"Kill, kill, kill!" But the Northern Yuan people were also bloodthirsty this time, and Wang Baobao's eyes were bloodshot.

So many of them were killed by the Ming army. This time they finally surrounded the Ming army, and they had to kill them all to boost military morale.

"Charge, chop down all the Ming army soldiers! Kill them all. I will reward you with a sheep for every one you kill!" Wang Baobao encouraged the soldiers again.

At the same time, he called out to the soldiers, "Have you captured Yao Guangxiao? I will reward you a thousand gold coins if you capture him alive, and a hundred gold coins if you capture his body!"

Their goal this time was to kill Yao Guangxiao. If this goal was not achieved, there would be no point in killing all 2,500 Ming soldiers. "We didn't find them." After hearing Wang Baobao's words, a deputy general spoke up.

"Your Majesty, we have searched all the carriages, and the monks in those carriages are all imposters, they are not Yao Guangxiao at all!"

"What?" Wang Baobao was stunned when he heard this.

"What's going on? Fake?"

"Your Majesty!" But at this time, another deputy general reported.

"We captured a prisoner, and he said he saw Yao Guangxiao and several of his personal soldiers running away earlier. They were the deserters we let go before the battle!"

"What!!" Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao was immediately annoyed and shocked.

"Damn Yao Guangxiao, he is so cunning. He must be the one who suggested killing more than 70,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. When I find a chance, I will kill him!"

He really didn't expect that the person he let go out of carelessness was actually Yao Guangxiao, whom he wanted to kill. If he had known earlier, he should have sent people to chase him. He would have thought he was a deserter.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Seeing this situation, the deputy general also asked. Now that Yao Guangxiao is not here, their expedition has lost its meaning. Do they still have to continue fighting?

"No big deal." Wang Baobao's face was filled with anger and murderous intent, and then he pointed at the Ming army in front and spoke.

"Let's kill them all first, and we'll still have time to leave! As I said, if you kill a Ming soldier, I'll reward you with a sheep!"

"Okay, kill!" Hearing Wang Baobao's words, the Northern Yuan army's eyes were once again filled with murderous intent, and they were ready to attack the Ming army again.

In their eyes, the Ming army at this moment was not human beings at all, but fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, so they killed them indiscriminately.

"It's over." Seeing this situation, the Ming army was also in pain. Most of their remaining people were injured, their armor and weapons were incomplete, and they didn't have many bows and arrows left. Their morale was even more desperate.

How do I fight this? It’s the end.

"Charge!" But at this moment, shouts of killing suddenly came from behind the Northern Yuan army.

Then the formation behind the Northern Yuan army was in chaos, and the flags of the Ming cavalry also appeared under the sky.

"What's going on!" Wang Baobao was shocked. How could the Ming army reinforcements arrive so quickly?

"It's bad!" The soldiers quickly came to report that it was Li Wenzhong, who personally led 20,000 cavalry of the Ming army to attack!

"Great!" When the surrounded Ming army soldiers saw this, their morale became high. They wouldn't have to die this time!

"Charge!" Then, they actually launched a counterattack against the Northern Yuan Army, and it was like a explosion at the center.

"Damn it!" Wang Baobao was also a veteran on the battlefield and reacted immediately.

"This must be a conspiracy of the Ming army! They are using Yao Guangxiao as bait to ambush our army! Fortunately, I brought 20,000 cavalry with me, and the Ming army only has 20,000 people!"

But Wang Baobao also understood that he only had these 20,000 elite troops, which would be gone after the battle. He did not dare to fight Li Wenzhong head-on again, and he probably would not be able to win.

So he gave the order directly: "Don't fight to the end, retreat!"

Then his army retreated directly, but two thousand of their men were entangled by Li Wenzhong and were then slaughtered.

However, Wang Baobao did not care about it. He believed that as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Moreover, if he cared about it, what would he do if the Ming army had reinforcements?

He thought that as long as he escaped, the Ming army would have no way to do anything to him, but he was wrong in the end.

Because he didn't expect that the Ming army had set up so many ambushes on his way of retreat.
