Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 181: Xianzhen Camp came to the rescue and defeated the rebels!

Inside the Tumu Fortress camp, the Xuanfu rebels led by Yang Kui and the Xianzhen Camp coalition led by Wang Zhi fought fiercely in the Tumu Fortress camp.

The Xuanfu rebels took advantage of the surprise attack and caught the Xianzhen Camp off guard.

However, the Xianzhen Camp launched a counterattack against the Xuanfu rebels with its powerful combat capability.

Yang Kui's primary targets were Zhu Youtang and the civil and military officials he brought with him.

Therefore, in the melee, the people who died the most were the civil and military officials in the Tumu Fort camp, as well as the logistics personnel who were affected.

The situation in the Tumubao camp was extremely tense. Yang Kui was so anxious that he even shouted himself hoarse.

Their attack on the camp this time was all about a quick victory. The longer it dragged on, the more variables there would be and the greater the risk of their failure.

But they really underestimated the fighting effectiveness of the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards.

Obviously, they were the ones who launched the sneak attack, but they did not have much advantage in the battle now.

On the contrary, as time went on, the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards coalition gradually took the initiative.

Just when Yang Kui was eager to break out of the encirclement of the Xianzhen Camp and achieve a breakthrough, he suddenly heard a loud sound of horse hooves.

He looked up and saw a large black army in the distance rushing towards Tumu Fort!

"Charge at full speed! Eliminate the rebels and rescue His Majesty!"

Gao Shun raised his sword and spear, his eyes red, and rushed towards the Tumu Fort camp at the fastest speed.

Behind him, 40,000 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp were filled with murderous aura, and they charged straight towards the Xuanfu rebels led by Yang Kui with overwhelming and irresistible force!

When Yang Kui saw this army that could move mountains and fill the sea, he was so frightened that his heart was broken and he was filled with despair.

The 40,000-man Xianzhen Camp that was lured out returned intact, which proved that Yang Tong's plan to divide the troops had completely failed.

At the same time, it also means that their attack on the camp has failed!
Yang Kui looked at the surrounding trap camps with grief and indignation, feeling both angry and afraid.

It was all because of these damn trap camps that surrounded him tightly, leaving him no chance to attack Zhu Youtang.

The situation is hopeless now. If they stay any longer, all 20,000 of them will be in danger.

"withdraw!"

"The entire army retreats! Retreat to Juyong Pass!"

Yang Kui was forced to issue an order to withdraw. He looked at Zhu Youtang with resentment and wanted to turn his horse around and withdraw from Tumu Fort.

When the other Xuanfu rebels were unable to defeat the 20,000-strong coalition forces of the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards, many of them had already begun to consider retreating.

Later, when they saw the 40,000-strong trap camp coming towards them in the distance with murderous intent, they were so frightened that they lost their souls and had no desire to fight anymore.

Now, after hearing the order to retreat, they immediately gave up chasing the civil and military officials in the Tumu Fort camp.

They rushed towards the surroundings of Tumu Fort, trying to break out of the Tumu Fort camp.

Zhu Youtang smiled coldly: "You can come and go as you please in my camp?!"

"Wang Zhi! Keep them at all costs!"

"Leader, I want to live!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhi also saw the Xianzhen Camp army rushing to support Tumu Fort in the distance.

He immediately led his troops to entangle Yang Kui and prevented them from leaving easily.

The rest of the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards also changed their previous tactics of killing people first to one that focused on retaining people.

The trap camp in the distance was rapidly approaching Tumubao.

They were getting closer and closer, close enough to hear the heavy breathing of the horses beneath them, close enough to see the flames of anger in their eyes.

Yang Kui is about to be driven crazy!
The 40,000-strong Xianzhen Camp was about to rush into Tumu Fort, but they could not get out!
"Get out of my way!"

Yang Kui led his subordinates to charge left and right in Tumu Fort, but he could not break out of the encirclement of the Xianzhen Camp!
Yang Kui was so anxious that veins popped out and his face turned red. He was so frightened that his mind went blank and there was a constant buzzing in his ears.

Wang Zhi had a calm expression as he coldly observed the battle situation in the Tumu Fort camp.

He commanded the Xianzhen Camp and the joint forces of the Imperial Household and Guards, and dragged these Xuanfu rebels to death in Tumu Fort.

The Xuanfu rebels were all anxious and fearful, feeling angry and desperate.

But they did not remain in despair for too long, because the 40,000-man formation led by Gao Shun finally broke into Tumu Fort!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"No! I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!!!"

"I surrender! I surrender! Don't kill me! Don't!"

"..."

Almost at the same time, screams for mercy were heard again in the Tumubao camp.

But this time, the screams came from the rebels in Xuanfu.

After the 40,000-man Xianzhen Camp rushed into Tumu Fort, a one-sided massacre began!

These Xuanfu rebels had no power to resist at all when faced with the aggressive 40,000-man Xianzhen Camp.

The butcher knife of the Xianzhen Camp was raised, and when it fell, it caused a bloody storm.

Hundreds of Xuanfu rebels fell down, and blood flowed all over Tumu Fort!
The 40,000-man Xianzhen Camp was unstoppable and swept through the entire Xuanfu rebel army with an invincible momentum!
Everywhere were the screams and pleas for mercy of the Xuanfu rebels. With just one encounter, the Xianzhen Camp defeated these rebels and made them collapse!

Zhu Youtang looked at the Xianzhen Camp quietly, turned the tide and secured victory.

The battle ended when Gao Shun led 40,000 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp to defend Tumu Fort.

All that remains is to wait for the Xianzhen Camp to clean up the mess.

When Zhu Youtang saw that the Xianzhen Camp had taken control of the battle, he dismounted and returned to the tent, waiting for the battle to end.

Mou Bin still led a thousand factory guards to guard around Zhu Youtang's tent and did not allow anyone to approach.

During this time, screams could be heard outside the tent, and a large amount of blood washed over the ground of Tumubao, dyeing the brown earth deep red. The air was filled with a fishy smell, which made Zhu Youtang wrinkle his nose in disgust.

"Light up the incense."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The young eunuch who was serving him tremblingly lit a goose pear incense stick for Zhu Youtang.

It is said that this incense was made by Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Consort Zhou. Goose pears and agarwood were steamed together over fire, allowing the sweet fragrance of the pear juice to permeate the agarwood flavor, which has the effect of calming the mind and promoting sleep.

The fragrance filled the air, dispelling the smell of blood in the air.

Zhu Youtang closed his eyes and dozed off, letting his mood gradually calm down.

Only after three incense sticks were burned did silence return outside the military tent.

The next moment, Gao Shun and Wang Zhi, covered in blood and looking murderous, walked into Zhu Youtang's military tent and knelt in front of Zhu Youtang.

"Your Majesty, please punish me for being late in coming to your rescue!"

Gao Shun clasped his hands together and spoke with a trembling voice, his tone full of self-blame.

Zhu Youtang opened his eyes and his expression became calm: "This is not your fault, don't blame yourself."

"What's the situation outside now?"

"Your Majesty, the situation outside has been brought under control."

Wang Zhi bowed and replied, "There are a total of 20,000 people who attacked the camp this time, all of them are the personal soldiers of Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu."

"The commander of this army is Yang Tong's son, Yang Kui."

"General Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp has captured Yang Kui alive."

"In this battle, we annihilated more than 7,000 enemy troops and captured more than 12,000."

"Please wait for your Majesty's decision!"

The army that attacked the camp was the personal army of Yang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and was led by his son Yang Kui.

The matter has become very clear. The person who started this mutiny was none other than Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu!
"Take me to see it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youtang stood up and went outside the tent.

At a glance, one can see that the Tumubao camp has completely changed its appearance.

The tents built by the civil and military officials for the night had been trampled to pieces by horse hooves.

The ground was a mixture of blood and flesh, and was muddy and littered with broken corpses, and the air was filled with a foul stench.

More than 12,000 of Yang Tong's personal soldiers who had surrendered, discarded their weapons and armor, had their hands tied behind their backs, and knelt in the middle of the camp.

The open space in the Tumubao camp was packed with people.

On both sides of the camp, 50,000 soldiers from the Formation Trap and 10,000 factory guards, holding bloody knives, stared coldly at the Xuanfu rebels kneeling on the ground.

If these people make the slightest movement, they will swarm over and chop them into meat sauce.

A little further away, the surviving civil and military officials all had disheveled hair, torn clothes, and looked extremely miserable.

Their eyes were red and they looked at the rebels kneeling on the ground with gnashing teeth.

They looked as if they wanted to rush up and eat their flesh alive!
They were sleeping peacefully in the Tumubao camp when the rebels rushed into the camp and chased them everywhere.

These rebels deserve to be put to death!

Zhu Youtang took a quick look and asked, "How many people did we lose in this battle?"

Wang Zhi had obviously checked the numbers, and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, Wang Yonghe, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, and Zhang Yi, the Attending Scholar of the Hanlin Academy."

"Gong Quanyan, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Public Administration; Liu Xin, the Director of the Imperial Observatory; Yu Jian, the Director of the Ministry of War..."

"Zhang Fu, Marquis of Pingning, Chen Yun, Earl of Sui'an, He Yuan, the son-in-law of the emperor, and 156 other civil and military officials were killed in the battle."

"At the same time, 2,362 logistics personnel were trampled to death by war horses, and more than 34,000 logistics personnel are missing."

"These missing logistics personnel must have escaped during the chaos. Do you need me to lead someone to capture them?"

"No need, just run away if you want."

Zhu Youtang was not very concerned about the whereabouts of these people.

He didn't even care about the life and death of the civil and military officials present. He only cared about the casualties of the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards.

After all, this is the core force that is truly loyal to him and has no ulterior motives.

Even if one person died, he would be very heartbroken.

"What about the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards? How many casualties were there?"

Wang Zhi answered loudly and forcefully: "Your Majesty, all the 50,000 soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp and 10,000 factory guards are here, and there are no casualties!"

Zhu Youtang raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised but also completely relieved.

Before, he only knew about the Xianzhen Camp and the Factory Guards rewarded by the system, which had unparalleled combat power and could defeat a hundred alone.

But I didn't expect them to be so powerful that after thousands of troops fought in a melee, there was not a single casualty.

In this case, the next step is to deal with these rebels.

Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where is Yang Kui? Bring him up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The next moment, Yang Kui, covered in wounds and blood, was brought in front of Zhu Youtang by two Jinyiwei.
