Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 152 Attack, Attack! Zhu Ying at full strength!
Under the current national conditions of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Guilichi naturally had his own plans.

same.

For many generals who were still under the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the interests of the Northern Yuan court had long since nothing to do with them.

Their eyes are focused only on themselves, thinking about how to expand their tribe and how to gain greater power and status.

At this time, the Ming army invaded.

On the surface, this was a huge crisis facing the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty. However, in the hearts of many people within the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they believed that this was a rare opportunity.

They even thought that if the Ming Dynasty could severely damage the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they could take advantage of the situation to break away from the Northern Yuan Dynasty and establish their own army.

Inside the palace!
The Yuan Emperor sat restlessly on the dragon throne, his eyes fixed on Guilichi below. He asked, "My dear minister, I have entrusted the army to you. Facing the Ming army's offensive, how do you plan to respond?"

This time, Zhenxia City was captured by Zhu Ying's army in just one day. When Emperor Yuan heard the news, he was really uneasy and panicked.

"Your Majesty," Guilichi stood straight, his face brimming with confidence, and responded loudly, "If I were to command the troops, I would fully utilize the strengths of the Yuan army to counter the Ming army."

"In the past, our Yuan Dynasty was able to conquer the Central Plains not by relying on infantry, but by relying on its invincible cavalry."

"My great Yuan cavalry roams the battlefields, and no army in the world can withstand them."

"The Ming army is definitely no match for my cavalry."

While talking.

Gui Lichi clenched his fists, looking confident.

Hearing these words and looking at Guilichi's confident expression, Emperor Yuan's originally tense face gradually showed a smile. He nodded and said, "My dear minister, you are absolutely right."

"Our Yuan Dynasty relies on cavalry to establish itself. The reason we were able to sweep across the Central Plains in the past was because of the power of our cavalry. This is our Yuan Dynasty's greatest advantage."

"Your Majesty is wise," Guilichi continued, a smile on his face. "In my opinion, even if the Ming army captures the ten border cities, there is no need to worry."

"No matter how strong the Ming army is, once they enter a siege, they will inevitably be at a disadvantage and suffer heavy losses."

"As for the Yuan Dynasty, there is no need to overly defend the city. Our main goal is to deplete the Ming army's manpower."

"In a true decisive battle, victory or defeat still depends on cavalry."

As Guilichi spoke, he appeared extremely confident, as if victory was just around the corner.

Seeing Guilichi speaking so confidently, as if he were certain of victory, Emperor Yuan was very pleased and said, "My dear minister, what you said is very true."

"From now on, I will hand over all the power to command the Ming army to you."

"I don't care what method you use, as long as you can repel the Ming army, I will not interfere."

"The future of the Yuan Dynasty depends on you, my dear."

At this moment, Emperor Yuan already regarded Guilichi as the life-saving straw to save the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely not let you down." Upon hearing this, Guilichi knelt on the ground with a plop, pressed his right hand tightly against his chest, and responded loudly.

however.

at this time.

"Your Majesty." A minister stood out from the queue. It was Manzi, the new Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after Nahachu's death.

Like Nahachu, Manzi was born a military general, but his ability was far inferior to Nahachu's.

He looked solemn and said in a serious tone: "What General Guilichi said may have some truth."

"The strongest force of our Yuan Dynasty is indeed its cavalry. In a cavalry battle, it is enough to make the Ming army pay a heavy price."

"But in the final analysis, the border cities must also be defended."

As soon as the words fell,

"The Ming army is best at attacking cities, how can we defend them? If we want to defeat the Ming army, we can only rely on cavalry warfare and destroy their manpower." Guilichi turned around, frowned, and said with a serious face.

"General Guilichi." The barbarian stared at Guilichi with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Perhaps you have a point. But have you ever considered that the ten border cities were built by our Yuan Dynasty at the cost of a huge amount of financial and human resources?"

"If captured by the Ming army, these cities will become the Ming army's garrisons and will in turn be used to defend our Yuan Dynasty."

"Furthermore, what if our Yuan cavalry cannot defeat the Ming army?"

"Grand Marshal," Guilichi shouted back, his voice rising, a hint of irritation on his face. "Although the power of the Yuan Dynasty is not as great as it once was, our cavalry is still the strongest in the world."

"As long as I am allowed to lead the troops and confront the Ming cavalry, I will definitely annihilate the Ming army."

"If you can't do that, Your Majesty can just execute me."

"You are too kind, my dear minister," Emperor Yuan said hastily, a soothing look on his face. "Of course I believe you, my dear minister."

Then he turned to the barbarian and said, "General! You don't need to say more."

"This time, the Yuan Dynasty will defend the city and annihilate the enemy with cavalry. The Yuan Dynasty will never retreat."

"Once the invading Ming army is defeated and annihilated, our Yuan Dynasty will be able to invade the Ming Kingdom, retake the Central Plains, and rule the world."

See this.

The barbarian shook his head helplessly, nodded and said, "I understand."

……

Time flies, and a few days pass in a flash.

At the gate of Zhentang City, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

Before the battle even began, a Yuan general looked at the Ming army in front of the city, his face filled with panic. He said in a trembling voice, "Second Prince, the Ming army is attacking, and they are carrying the banners of the Daning Border Army."

"The leader is still Zhu Ying."

"Can we...really hold on?"

Hear the words.

"Are the city gates completely sealed?" Di Baonu turned around, stared at General Yuan, and asked anxiously.

"It's completely sealed off, Your Majesty," General Yuan replied hastily, his expression tense. "And it's not just one wall, it's seven. Not only human effort, but even a barrage of artillery would be impossible to breach."

"The city gates were also welded tightly with kerosene, making them indestructible."

"That's good." Di Baonu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression somewhat relaxed. "We are so well prepared. As long as we reinforce the city walls, I don't believe the Ming army can easily break through."

Previously, Zhenxia City was easily breached by the Ming army, which made Di Baonu believe that there was a loophole in the procedure of sealing the city gate.

So after retreating to the city, he immediately ordered the city gates to be sealed to prevent any possibility of external force breaking into the city.

"Report."

At this time, a general quickly ran to Di Baonu, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, the people from Zhenming City and Zhensong City have sent people to ask for help. Please send reinforcements immediately."

"The Ming army is already at the gates of the city."

"Let them hold on first." Di Baonu said without hesitation, with a hint of helplessness on his face: "The main force of the Ming army is here with me now."

"Once I defeat these Ming troops, I will send reinforcements."

At this moment, he himself was under attack from the Daning border army. How could he have extra troops to reinforce other cities?

Whether this city can be defended is still unknown.

"Yes." General Yuan responded and stood up to leave.

At this moment, the Ming army in front of the city had already begun to move.

"Artillery battalion, fire!" Zhu Ying stood in front of the formation with a stern expression and shouted orders.

Three hundred cannons lined up in a row, looking majestic.

As Zhu Ying's order came down, three hundred Ming army soldiers holding torches quickly ignited the cannons.

In an instant.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of cannons roared continuously, and the shells were like arrows shot from a bow, whistling towards the city ahead in a parabolic trajectory.

The shell hit the ground and shattered instantly, and the iron needles and spikes inside flew in all directions like a rainstorm.

"Ah...ah..." The screams of the Yuan army in the city came one after another and never stopped.

As usual, the Ming army used artillery to clear the way, killing as many Yuan troops as possible and weakening their morale.

Faced with this overwhelming artillery fire, with shells whistling down from overhead, the fear that penetrated deep into their bones made the Yuan army soldiers terrified. Many of them turned pale and trembled.

Zhu Ying did not ride a horse today, and the more than 600 guards behind him also abandoned their horses and walked.

Nearly 50,000 infantrymen were lined up neatly behind Zhu Ying.

At the forefront were ten thousand shield soldiers holding shields, the metallic luster on the shields gleaming.

Following them were spearmen, long sword soldiers and archers, their eyes determined and ready for battle.

In the past, when Zhu Ying attacked a city, he usually used cavalry to charge in the front, but this time, the cavalry was arranged in the last row.

Obviously, Zhu Ying did not intend to rely on cavalry to attack the city this time.

After all, many of the Yuan troops in the city were retreating from Zhenxia City. They already knew Zhu Ying's tactics and would definitely place many objects in the city to hinder the charging of war horses in order to stop the cavalry.

After a round of artillery fire, the barrel was already burning red with the scorching flames.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying decisively drew the Seven Star Sword from his waist. The blade flashed with cold light. He raised the sword high and shouted in a powerful voice: "Where are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Kill, kill, kill."

Nearly 70,000 soldiers shouted in unison behind Zhu Ying. The sound was deafening and resounded through the sky, as if it was going to shatter the entire world.

The military might and morale of the Ming Dynasty were fully demonstrated at this moment.

"I, Zhu Ying, command the troops, and the old rules apply." Zhu Ying roared loudly, his voice firm and powerful: "The generals are in front, and the soldiers are behind." "All soldiers, listen to my order. After I charge fifty steps, you will follow me and charge with all your strength."

The voice just fell.

Zhu Ying held a shield in his left hand and tightly grasped the Seven-Star Sword in his right hand, and rushed towards the city ahead like a black lightning.

Of course, although Zhu Ying's steps were vigorous and his speed was extremely fast, he was also deliberately controlling his speed.

Under the cover of artillery, Zhu Yingru entered the empty area and quickly approached the city gate.

Liu Lei and Chen Heng stood in the army, staring at Zhu Ying's figure with their eyes full of admiration and determination.

After Zhu Ying rushed out fifty steps, they shouted almost simultaneously: "We will follow the general to the death. Kill!"

moment.

The Ming army, which had seemed to be still, suddenly exploded like a lit powder keg.

Thirty thousand Daning infantrymen followed Zhu Ying's footsteps and rushed forward like a surging tide. The sound of their footsteps shook the earth.

Immediately afterwards, 20,000 archers transferred from Huizhou Guard also rushed towards the city with shouts.

With 50,000 troops moving together, the earth seemed to be unable to bear the weight and began to tremble violently.

At this moment, the wind and clouds changed color, and the heaven and earth seemed to have lost their luster.

"General Mengwu." Seeing the Ming army launch an attack, Di Baonu's face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly said to the general defending the city, "The outer city defense is in your hands."

After saying this, he hurriedly retreated towards the city.

"fire."

"Fire arrows."

As soon as Di Baonu left, the Yuan generals on the city wall immediately roared at the top of their lungs.

The cannons on the city wall quickly adjusted their direction and fired fiercely at the charging Ming army.

However, their artillery still fired solid shells. Although there was a constant roar, the damage they caused was very limited.

"General, that Zhu Ying."

A Yuan soldier pointed in fear at Zhu Ying, who was rapidly approaching the city gate, and said in a trembling voice: "He's coming."

Now, I wonder how many Yuan soldiers have recognized Zhu Ying, this tough guy who always charges to the front in siege battles.

"Fire arrows."

When the Yuan general saw this, he was extremely anxious and shouted, "Shoot him to death."

The Yuan army archers on the city wall immediately aimed their bows at Zhu Ying and fired arrows in volley. Dense arrows shot towards Zhu Ying like locusts, and the entire void was instantly filled with rain of arrows.

"Internal breath protects the body."

Zhu Ying silently chanted in his heart, quietly mobilizing the internal energy in his body to protect his skin and flesh.

At the same time, he raised the shield high in his left hand, injected his internal energy into it, and a faint light appeared on the surface of the shield.

"Ding ding."

"Ding ding."

Arrows rained down, hitting the shield, splashing sparks, and then were easily bounced away by the shield, leaving fallen arrows all over the ground.

Zhu Ying, holding a shield, was not affected at all by the rain of arrows. He continued to move quickly towards the city gate without slowing down.

"Fire the arrow quickly."

"Shoot him."

Seeing Zhu Ying getting closer and closer to the city gate, the Yuan general on the city wall became extremely anxious and roared at the top of his lungs.

Although the city gate had been completely sealed and several walls had been added, making it impossible for human power to break it open, but when he thought of Zhu Ying's strength, an inexplicable panic still surged in his heart.

Under the constant urging of the Yuan general, the rain of arrows from the city wall became more and more dense, but still could not hurt Zhu Ying at all.

Most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, and the rest were shot everywhere, unable to stop Zhu Ying's advance.

"Charge your strength and slash with one blow."

When Zhu Ying approached the city gate, he held the knife in one hand, and all the strength of his body instantly gathered on his right arm, and his internal energy flowed rapidly through his meridians.

He stared at the city gate in front of him, with a determined light in his eyes, and then he slashed it down with a sudden blow.

"Swish!" The blade cut through the sky, making a sharp sonic boom, and instantly slashed the city gate like a flash of lightning.

Powerful strength and internal energy burst out the moment they touched the city gate, and the blade light flashed, dazzling and brilliant.

"Boom!"

Even though the city gate was made of thick fine iron and was extremely strong, it was as weak as paper in front of the first-grade divine weapon in Zhu Ying's hand.

What's more, Zhu Ying also contained such powerful strength that the entire city gate trembled violently, and then shattered into countless iron blocks, flying everywhere, making a dull sound.

however.

When the city gate was blown apart, what came into Zhu Ying's sight was a wall made of blue bricks.

"Playing this trick with me?"

Zhu Ying sneered when he saw the wall.

He quickly held the shield in his hand across his body and injected his internal energy into the shield again, making the shield shine even brighter.

Then he took a few steps back, then suddenly exerted force and rushed towards the wall in front of him with all his strength and speed.

Boom!
A powerful force erupted instantly, and the wall in front of him was instantly covered with dense cracks.

Just the next moment, the wall could not withstand Zhu Ying's impact and collapsed.

“There’s more than one wall!!”

But behind the wall, there was still not an open city gate, but another wall.

"Trying to stop me."

"You are really too naive."

Zhu Ying didn't hesitate at all and used the same trick again. He continued to hold the shield, exerting all his strength and rushing forward at full speed.

This time.

Full speed, no concealment.

Can be imagined.

This powerful speed will allow Zhu Ying to reach a certain level.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise. With his powerful strength and speed, plus the blessing of his internal energy, he broke through the walls in front of him almost instantly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of collapsing walls continued.

When Zhu Ying rushed out from the dusty blue brick ruins, all the Yuan soldiers stationed inside were stunned. They opened their eyes wide and their mouths slightly open, as if they had seen something incredible.

"This...how is this possible?"

"Is he...really a human?"

"He actually...actually knocked down so many walls."

The surrounding Yuan army looked at Zhu Ying's figure in horror, their eyes full of fear, as if Zhu Ying was an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

There were seven walls. Even if the battering ram was used at full force, it would be difficult to break through one wall. However, Zhu Ying broke through the city gate and all the walls in a flash.

"Quick, use the bed crossbow."

The Yuan general on duty was the first to come to his senses. He gripped the knife tightly, his knuckles turning white. He pointed at Zhu Ying and roared at the top of his lungs, "Kill him."

This time!

The surrounding Yuan troops finally woke up from their dream.

Three crossbows were quickly pushed out, all aimed at Zhu Ying. The arrows on the crossbows were longer and heavier than spears, and they gleamed with an icy cold light in the sunlight.

Obviously, this time the Yuan army came prepared and made the most adequate preparations to deal with Zhu Ying.

Even if the city gate could not be defended, they were confident that they could shoot Zhu Ying to death with these three crossbows.

In their opinion, human power could not withstand the power of these crossbows. Even Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu who was once strong enough to lift a tripod, could not survive the shooting of three crossbows.

As long as Zhu Ying is shot dead, the morale of the Ming army will be greatly damaged.

"Kill!" The surrounding Yuan soldiers roared in unison and quickly activated their crossbows.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, more than a dozen giant crossbow arrows shot towards Zhu Ying at the same time like arrows from a bow.

The power contained in this giant crossbow is extremely powerful. Not to mention a human, even a tiger can be easily shot to death.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Ying remained calm, without any panic.

The bed crossbow does pose a certain threat, but to him, it is not a big threat.

The speed at which these giant crossbow arrows were shot seemed extremely fast in the eyes of others, but in Zhu Ying's eyes, they appeared extremely slow.

Zhu Ying took a step forward without any hesitation.

At that moment, the place where he was originally located was instantly engulfed by the crossbow bolts from more than a dozen crossbows...
