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

Chapter 382 Annihilate the Tartars! Forever Suppress the Tartars!

Liaodong Prefecture, Ming Dynasty!

Kaiyuan City!

As a major military city in Liaodong Prefecture, it is also a strategic location.

When the Ming Dynasty conquered Liaodong and captured Kaiyuan City, it directly severed the connection between the Northern Yuan and Liaodong, cutting off their retreat route. This shows how crucial this city was.

And now.

North of the city.

Nearly 100,000 Tatar troops are launching a frenzied attack.

only.

Compared to the Yuan army, their weapons were much simpler.

There were no artillery pieces.

Instead, dozens of catapults were bombarding the city gate.

Compared to the power of artillery, it was far weaker.

and.

The area in front of the city was littered with corpses, blood flowed everywhere, and the entire land was stained red.

visible.

The battlefield has been incredibly brutal these past few months.

On the city gate!
The Ming Dynasty's cannons continued to bombard the area. Although they were not the latest explosive shells, they were still superior to the Tartars' needle-shaped shells and had considerable destructive power.

"attack."

"Attack!"

"We will not withdraw our troops until the city is breached."

"Attack!"

The rear guard of the Tartar army.

The Jianzhou tribal chief roared frantically, and judging from his anxious appearance, one could imagine the extent of their losses.

only.

these past few months.

With the three Tartar tribes united, their morale has been severely damaged.

Even though they were forced to keep attacking, their morale had already dropped to the minimum, and their offensive momentum was completely lacking, leaving them in a passive position.

The Ming army stationed at the city gate was defending the city with ease.

If it weren't for the general's order, the general stationed here might even have directly ordered an attack outside the city.

but.

Everything is for the greater good.

Therefore, Liaodong was still mainly for defense. Although it was not the main combat battalion, the soldiers stationed in Liaodong were brave and fierce. Moreover, with the advantage of the city gates, the Tartars could not break through the city gates at all.

Their combat capabilities are simply not on the same level.

"General."

"These Tartars are really crazy."

"Knowing that they cannot breach my city gates, they still attack time and time again."

"Their morale has long been exhausted."

On the city gate.

A general spoke to Guo Ying, the Grand General in charge of the defense of Liaodong.

Although the Tartars are not scary.

But to be on the safe side.

Zhu Yuanzhang still sent Guo Ying to personally oversee the situation.

With him there, and with nearly 100,000 troops in Liaodong, it was naturally easy to completely control the Liaodong defense line.

"They have no choice."

"We have no choice but to launch a direct attack."

Guo Ying sneered, looking at the Tartar army that was frantically attacking the city as if they were dead men.

"General."

“There’s no need for Your Highness to come in person to deal with these Tartars. Our Liaodong garrison can handle them,” a general said.

“The overall situation comes first.”

"The Tatars are the key to the expansion of our Ming Dynasty's territory."

"As for these Tartars, they can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist."

"Let them linger here," Guo Ying said with a faint smile, showing no concern whatsoever.

although.

He was confident that if he led his troops out to fight, he could quickly defeat the Tartars.

but.

He understood that this was not what Zhu Ying wanted.

Perhaps Zhu Ying's real purpose was to keep the Tartar army tied up here, so that the Tartars would be completely wiped out and destroyed in one fell swoop.

"The General is absolutely right."

"Winter has already arrived, and in another ten days or a month, there will surely be heavy snowfall."

"When the time comes."

“These Tartars are doomed,” another general said sarcastically.

This man was none other than Yang Wen, the commander of the Liaodong Guard.

He was also a young general.

"Report."

"Your Highness, General."

"Now the Tatars have been completely defeated by His Highness the Grandson, and a lot of the new cannonballs that were originally transferred to the north have been transported to Liaodong."

"More than a thousand have already been delivered."

A military supply transport general strode to the city gate and reported to Guo Ying.

Hear this!

Guo Ying's eyes lit up.

Guo Ying had only heard of this new type of explosive shell, but had never actually seen its power.

but.

It is said that when facing the Tatar army, the Ming army's artillery fire caused the hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops to be immediately routed.

This is a fact.

"It is said that both this new type of shell and this new type of cannon were created by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"In the battle against the Tatars, the introduction of new artillery and shells turned the entire battlefield into a sea of ​​fire, a living hell, and the Tatar army of hundreds of thousands was instantly routed."

"With these Tartars in front of us this time, should the General order an attempt to test this new type of cannonball?"

"This will also give us a chance to see what's going on?"

Yang Wen, who was standing to the side, made a suggestion with great anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, "Okay."

"Send the general's order."

"Transport half of the new type of artillery shells to the city gate."

"I also want to test the power of this new type of shell."

As the order came down.

A general was immediately dispatched to deliver it.

"Tartars, huh?"

"Seek death."

Guo Ying coldly watched the Tartar soldiers attacking the city, one after another, only to perish beneath the walls.

And they were behind the Tartars.

"When are you going to stop fighting?"

"It's been almost half a year, and our food supplies are almost exhausted. Moreover, the Tatars have already been defeated."

"Do you really think we can break through the Ming Dynasty's borders?"

"Do you intend to wipe out my entire clan?"

Seeing the Jianzhou clan chief who was on the verge of madness, the Haixi clan chief said angrily.

"We have no choice, and no way out."

"Once you withdraw."

"The Ming army will definitely pursue them."

"Once you withdraw."

"Our tribe has run out of supplies for winter. This time, we have exhausted all our resources."

"We have no way out," the Jianzhou tribal chief said with heartbreaking grief.

At this moment.

He truly had no way out.

There is no other way but to attack.

"Are we just going to let our sons' lives slip away like this?"

"The Ming Dynasty is now defending the city, and our weapons are simply no match for them. Meanwhile, the main force of the Ming Dynasty could attack at any time."

"Retreating now offers a chance of survival, while not retreating will inevitably lead to the annihilation of the entire army," the Haixi chieftain said with a bitter expression.

Him now.

I deeply regret it.

They shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

All of this was caused by the Jianzhou tribal chief.

"If you want to withdraw, then withdraw."

"We, the sons of Jianzhou, will fight to the death and never retreat," the Jianzhou tribal chief said coldly.

Looking at the city ahead, he seemed ready to gamble everything.

Indeed, they possessed a resolute determination to succeed or die trying.

just.

Just as the chieftain of the Western Sea Clan said, it is now impossible for them to breach the city, let alone invade the territory of the Great Ming Kingdom.

Continuing the attack would only lead to certain death.

can.

If this overwhelming attack were to be abandoned, the Jianzhou chieftain would understand that it would surely alienate his tribe members and even force him to abdicate. Moreover, with his father's revenge still unavenged, how could he dare to retreat?

Once you withdraw.

There may never be another chance.

In that case, facing the Ming Dynasty would no longer be about taking the initiative to attack, but rather about being passively attacked.

"you……"

Seeing the Jianzhou clan chief's foolishness, the Haixi clan chief was speechless, filled with nothing but anger.

now.

He also wanted to retreat, but his troops were already intertwined with the Jianzhou tribe. If he ordered a withdrawal, the entire army would surely collapse.

"Let it go for today. Once we retreat today, I will lead my people back to the tribe."

"I, Haixi, will no longer play along with your nonsense."

"Winter will be here soon, and if we don't retreat now, we'll never be able to," the Haixi chieftain said angrily with a cold snort.

In this regard.

The Jianzhou tribal chief didn't care at all.

"attack."

"Attack with all your might!" "Those who retreat will die."

"The men of my tribe are unparalleled in bravery."

"Kill!" the Jianzhou clan chief roared.

But he didn't know that at the moment.

New types of Ming Dynasty cannonballs have already been transported up to the city gate of Kaiyuan.

"General, five hundred shells have been delivered."

"Please give the order, General," the general in charge of the transport respectfully reported to Guo Ying.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Order the artillery to fire the new type of shells."

"Let these Tartars see the power of the strongest cannonballs of my Great Ming!" Guo Ying immediately shouted.

This time.

The imperial court transported these new types of cannonballs to deal with the Tartars, so Guo Ying had no reason not to use them.

Moreover, he was also very curious about the shell, just how powerful it was.

It was able to rout the Tatar army of hundreds of thousands in a single blow.

"I will obey the General's order."

The artillerymen responded loudly.

Subsequently.

Boxes of new explosive shells were delivered.

After the original shells were fired, they were all replaced with high-explosive shells.

"fire."

Guo Ying gave the order personally.

next moment.

Hey, hey, hey.

The sound of the shell leaving the barrel was the same as before.

Hundreds of cannonballs were fired at the tens of thousands of Tartar troops in front of the city.

When the shells landed.

Boom, boom, boom!
A deafening roar, like thunder.

Shocking.

The shells landed.

Then, terrifying flames spread out, accompanied by terrifying blast waves.

"Ah...ah..."

In front of the city.

The Tartars were already demoralized, but after the explosive shells landed...

A powerful force swept through, and countless screams erupted.

The entire battlefield in front of the city was engulfed in flames, leaving behind numerous giant craters.

The power descended.

Each shell was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky.

Each shell could easily take the lives of a dozen or even dozens of Tatar soldiers.

The Ming soldiers on the city gate stared in disbelief at the devastating power of the cannons, both generals and ordinary soldiers alike.

I was completely shocked.

"This...is this really a cannonball that a human could make?" Guo Ying stared in astonishment at the raging fire in front of the city and the deafening thunder in her ears.

The same was true of the many generals around him.

"Even the legendary artifacts are nothing special."

"His Highness the Crown Prince has actually created such a terrifying weapon."

"Fortunately, it's in my Great Ming Dynasty. If it were obtained by my Great Ming's enemies, it would be a nightmare for my Great Ming."

"terrible……"

All the soldiers stared in astonishment.

Everyone was stunned by the power of the shell.

"Soldiers."

"This is the new type of cannonball created by His Highness the Crown Prince. This is a divine weapon belonging to our Great Ming Dynasty."

"Kill me."

"Kill all these damn Tartars."

"Fire all the shells out!"

"Let them know what the might of the Ming Dynasty is."

"kill!"

Guo Ying was the first to come to her senses and roared loudly.

now.

It's nothing but pride and arrogance.

This is a weapon belonging to his Ming Dynasty, a true divine weapon.

With this divine weapon, the Ming Dynasty became the most powerful nation in the world.

"kill!"

"Kill all the Tartars."

"kill……"

The soldiers on the city gate roared.

The archers fired arrows wildly.

Meanwhile, the artillery continued to reload shells; the current explosive shells were enough to fire another round.

And in front of the city.

The attacking Tartars were completely thrown into chaos, their last momentum gone, overwhelmed by the threat of the new cannonballs and the carnage.

The area in front of the city was a living hell.

"Run away."

"The Ming army was protected by the Thunder God."

"Run away."

"We cannot possibly be a match for the Ming army."

"Run! Run away quickly..."

"I want to go back to my tribe, I want to go home."

"what……"

The attacking Tartar formation was completely thrown into disarray.

Almost all the Tartars were terrified and fled for their lives.

As for the Tartar generals, they were all the same.

Chaos.

It's a complete mess!

At that moment, all they wanted to do was escape, flee for their lives.

This is just like the Tatar army of old, but the Tatar army was stronger, and it withstood multiple rounds of artillery fire before collapsing, which the Tatars could not compare to.

The rear guard.

The chieftains of Jianzhou and Haixi were completely panicked, their faces turning deathly pale as they stared at the towering flames.

Senseless.

"What...what kind of cannon is this?"

"How could the Ming Dynasty have such cannons?" The Jianzhou tribal chief stared in astonishment, completely terrified.

He was helpless as he watched the defeated and fleeing army.

"withdraw."

"Get out."

The chieftain of the Western Sea Clan didn't think twice and roared with a deathly pale face.

Then they turned their horses around and retreated.

At this moment, all he wanted was to leave this Ming territory as soon as possible and return to his own unit.

Ming Dynasty.

They simply cannot defeat them.

Staying here means certain death.

but!
It's too late for them now.

From the rear of the Tartars, which is also the north side of Kaiyuan City.

Tread.

Tapping.

A series of loud stomping sounds swept over.

From the north direction.

Countless red-armored cavalrymen are charging madly towards us.

At the very front stood a general with an imposing presence.

Behind them were many bannermen carrying the Ming Dynasty's battle flags.

Their all-out assault targeted the Tartars in the area.

"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, listen to my command!"

"Twenty thousand soldiers will follow me and be killed."

"The rest of the soldiers should open up the encirclement and not let a single Tartar escape."

"I will make them build roads for my Great Ming Dynasty and be slaves for eternity!" Zhu Ying took the lead and roared coldly.

"I will follow His Highness to the death."

"kill."

Countless soldiers roared and charged wildly.

On the city gate.

"General, look!"

"The cavalry of our Great Ming Dynasty are coming!"

“Coming from the north, it must be His Highness,” Yang Wen said excitedly, pointing ahead.

The soldiers on the city gate focused their gazes, and all of them were filled with ecstatic joy.

See this scene.

Guo Ying wouldn't hesitate at all.

"Soldiers."

"Open the city gate."

"Follow me out of the city and slaughter these Tartars!" Guo Ying roared with immense excitement.

He then drew his sword from his waist and strode down the city wall.

The generals accompanied him.

The city gates, which had been closed, were immediately opened.

Countless Ming infantrymen charged out of the city and pursued the fleeing Tartars.

This battle!
It's settled!
