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

When Wu Sangui saw the large army below the Great Wall, he panicked.

As the commander of the Guan Ning Army, Wu Sangui was naturally very familiar with the army. He only needed to take one look to know that this army was not Li Zicheng's rebel army at all.

It was the imperial army.

even.

They were even more disciplined than the Ming Dynasty army!
Upon hearing Wu Sangui's words, Wu Guogui, who was standing beside him, was visibly flustered. He quickly said, "Uncle, how could Chongzhen possibly defeat Li Zicheng's army of over 100,000?"

"This is definitely not the imperial army! Could it be Zhang Xianzhong's troops?"

Wu Sangui shook his head and said with a firm attitude, "Zhang Xianzhong is currently attacking Sichuan and it is impossible for him to reach Shanhaiguan in a short time."

"Currently, the only army that can reach Shanhaiguan in a short time is the officers and soldiers stationed in the capital."

Clearly, Wu Sangui still firmly believed that the army under the Great Wall was the Ming Dynasty's official soldiers.

"But... Uncle, if they are imperial troops, what are they doing at Shanhaiguan?"

“We have always followed the imperial court’s orders and held Shanhaiguan Pass firmly. We have never betrayed the imperial court.” Wu Guogui asked the most crucial question.

Although Wu Sangui had reached a cooperation agreement with Dorgon outside the Great Wall, only three people knew about it, and Emperor Chongzhen, far away in the capital, certainly could not know.

"do not know."

"This is all too strange." Even the shrewd and calculating Wu Sangui had no idea what was going on.

Just then.

The Ming imperial guards have already stormed into the city.

Who are you?

"Why did you come to Shanhaiguan?"

"Shanhaiguan is a key location for the Ming army. If anyone comes here without the emperor's decree, don't blame me for being impolite!" Wu Sangui shouted loudly at the Ming imperial guards from below Shanhaiguan.

just.

The Ming Dynasty Imperial Guards did not respond in any way, but instead fired arrows directly!

"Shh!"

An arrow flew directly toward Wu Sangui's head.

Fortunately.

Wu Sangui was also skilled in martial arts. When he saw the arrow flying towards him, he instinctively turned to the side and successfully dodged it!
However, Governor Wu Sangui's face immediately turned pale.

He looked completely incredulous.

"What are you doing!" Wu Sangui never expected that these imperial soldiers would shoot arrows at him directly.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The soldiers below the Great Wall ignored Wu Sangui and continued shooting arrows.

In a short time.

A hail of arrows flew rapidly toward Wu Sangui!
Clearly, the Ming Imperial Guards did not want to offer any explanation to Wu Sangui.

In an instant.

Many soldiers of the Guan Ning Army were killed or wounded.

Upon seeing this, Wu Sangui panicked.

He immediately shouted to his nephew Wu Guogui, "The court must have found out about the conspiracy with Dorgon!"

"Quickly lead the army to meet the enemy!"

"Also, immediately notify Dorgon and tell him to come and provide support as soon as possible."

It's obvious.

Wu Sangui was immediately thrown into a panic.

When the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards launched their attack on Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui finally realized the gravity of the situation.

just.

Now that the army has besieged Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui has no other choice.

at this point.

We have no choice but to fight with all our might!
"Kill them!"

"Hold the Shanhaiguan Pass!"

“These soldiers are rebels; we absolutely cannot allow them to breach Shanhaiguan.”

Wu Sangui roared hysterically.

They kept shouting orders to attack.

In a short time.

Fifty thousand Guan Ning soldiers immediately took their positions, and as soon as they could be seen, these soldiers defending the city launched an attack on the Ming Imperial Guards below the city.

The two sides then began firing arrows at each other.

Although Wu Sangui's army had a superior position, it was quite backward in terms of weaponry. When the two armies began to fire at each other, Wu Sangui's army could not withstand the attack at all.

Plus.

The Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards also possessed various firearms.

Therefore, Wu Sangui's army was no match for the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards.

In less than half an hour.

Looking out from the city wall, almost all that could be seen were the corpses of Guan Ning soldiers. Even Wu Sangui had been wounded in the shoulder by a flintlock musket!
"General Wu, the brothers can't hold on much longer!"

"What should we do?!"

One of the soldiers shouted loudly at Wu Sangui, his face filled with despair.

Wu Sangui glanced at the corpses on the city wall and was immediately stunned.

Obviously.

Wu Sangui never expected that this Ming army would be so powerful.

"How is that possible?"

"Where did this army come from?"

Wu Sangui was deeply impressed by the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards. You see, Wu Sangui had always believed that the Guan Ning Army under his control was the most powerful army in the imperial court.

But looking at it now...

The Guan Ning Army was completely powerless against the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards.

This undoubtedly refreshed Wu Sangui's understanding.

"withstand!!"

"We must hold on!"

"As long as Dorgon's Tartar army arrives, there will be a chance to turn things around." At this moment, Wu Sangui had no other choice but to order his soldiers to hold on.

at the same time.

High in the sky.

Zhu Ying also arrived with three thousand royal guards and the Winged Dragon Army.

"It seems that Wu Sangui does indeed have some strength."

"Your Highness, should we use the Red Cannons?" Liu Lei rode his pterosaur to Zhu Ying's side and then reported the current battle situation to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying calmly replied, "No need."

"Wu Sangui can't hold out for much longer."

"There's no need to use the Red Cannon at all. After all, the Red Cannon is extremely powerful. If we used it directly, we would definitely be able to destroy Shanhaiguan."

"At present, Shanhaiguan cannot be destroyed; it is still useful to keep it."

After all, there are still Tartar troops eyeing the pass from outside. If the pass is breached directly, Tartar troops from outside will continue to pour in.

This will increase the pressure on the Imperial Guard.

Therefore, Zhu Ying did not allow the Imperial Guards to use the red-coated cannons.

"Let the pterosaur army and velociraptors go into action."

"As ordered."

Ultimately, Zhu Ying chose to send out the Velociraptor and Pterodactyl forces.

A few minutes later.

The sky was so high that it blocked out the sun.

Simultaneously.

It also made a distinct chirping sound in the air.

On the Great Wall, the soldiers were terrified and panicked upon hearing the eerie cries, completely unsure of what to do.

"What...what is that sound?"

"That screech is so piercing!"

"Could it be some kind of monster?!"

"Don't scare yourself! How could there possibly be a monster!"

Why did the sky suddenly get covered with dark clouds?

Just as the soldiers of the Guan Ning Army were discussing among themselves, suddenly one of them shouted, "Look! There's a monster in the sky!"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the Guan Ning soldiers on the city wall immediately looked up at the sky.

At this time.

Tens of thousands of Pterosaur troops have arrived.

The vast swarms of pterosaurs almost filled the sky, creating a truly spectacular scene.

"How is that possible!"

"What kind of monster is that?!" "It feels like these monsters are coming towards us!"

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, tens of thousands of pterosaurs high in the sky rushed towards the Guan Ning army with lightning speed.

Then... a fierce battle ensued.

Wu Sangui was stunned when he saw this.

Despite Wu Sangui's extensive experience in leading troops into battle, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a scene.

"How is that possible!"

"What...what is this?!"

Wu Sangui was completely panicked.

Under the onslaught of tens of thousands of pterosaurs, the Guan Ning army's defenses collapsed instantly. In a short time, the Guan Ning soldiers on the city walls were bitten and torn by the pterosaurs to varying degrees.

The casualties were enormous.

at the same time.

Beneath this city wall.

Tens of thousands of velociraptors have arrived, and at the same time, soldiers of the Ming Imperial Guard are firing flintlock muskets like crazy.

In an instant.

Zhu Ying's army immediately seized the initiative.

In less than half an incense stick's time, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning army had already suffered more than half casualties.

"Report!"

"General Wu, we really can't hold out any longer! We need to think of a way quickly!"

A lieutenant spoke to Wu Sangui in a flustered tone.

Wu Sangui, on the other hand, looked worried. It could be said that the arrival of the Ming Imperial Guards had completely disrupted Wu Sangui's plans.

After a moment of silence, Wu Sangui suddenly said, "Withdraw the troops!"

"Withdraw the troops immediately!"

"Where there's life, there's hope!"

At such a critical moment, Wu Sangui finally issued the order to withdraw his troops.

In Wu Sangui's view, if the fighting continued, his Guan Ning Army would be completely annihilated, so the best course of action now was to retreat.

"But General Wu, where should our brothers retreat to?"

"Are we going to go beyond the Great Wall?"

The lieutenant asked with a puzzled look.

Wu Sangui immediately said, "Go beyond the Great Wall!"

"Besides going to the area outside the Great Wall, where else can we go?" Wu Sangui couldn't help but ask in return.

After all, the area south of Shanhaiguan was already surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty imperial guards, so the Guan Ning Army at that time could only retreat northward, towards the area outside the pass.

"Get out of here immediately!"

Wu Sangui urged hurriedly.

He knew very well that in a time of great chaos, if he were to lose all his troops, he would be rendered powerless and might even be unable to recover.

Not to mention conquering the Central Plains.

The most urgent task is to conceal our strength!
Fortunately.

Fortunately, Wu Sangui had just reached a cooperation agreement with Dorgon, the leader of the Tartar army, and could now seek refuge with Dorgon.

Soon, with Wu Sangui's order, tens of thousands of troops began to flee towards the area beyond the Great Wall.

High in the sky, Zhu Ying also spotted Wu Sangui preparing to flee beyond the Great Wall.

As for Zhu Ying, he would naturally not let Wu Sangui go.

Immediately.

Zhu Ying used his inner energy and then shouted to the Imperial Guards in an extremely loud voice, "All troops, give chase!"

"We will not let Wu Sangui escape!"

Zhu Ying's voice echoed continuously in front of every Ming Dynasty Imperial Guard soldier. Without hesitation, the soldiers immediately gave chase!
At the same time, the Pterodactyl Army and the Velociraptor Army directly cut off the Guan Ning Army's retreat.

Especially the Winged Dragon Army.

have to say.

The Pterosaur army's mobility was quite formidable in ancient warfare.

moment!

Tens of thousands of Pterosaur soldiers frantically tore at the fleeing Guan Ning army.

Simultaneously.

Zhu Ying also shouted to Liu Lei, "That's about enough. It's time to let Wang Wei's Winged Dragon Army show off their skills."

"Your subordinate obeys."

As Zhu Ying finished speaking.

Liu Lei naturally did not hesitate.

In an instant.

He then led three thousand royal guards and the Winged Dragon Army, descending from the sky with lightning speed, severely damaging the Guan Ning Army.

To know.

The fighting power of Wang Wei's Winged Dragon Army is clearly greater than that of the ordinary Winged Dragon Army.

and so.

When Wang Wei's Wing Dragon Army was deployed, the Guan Ning Army completely collapsed.

……

Meanwhile, high in the sky...

The phantom of the Longevity Fruit Tree also began to flash with a purplish-red light.

This demonstrates the strength of the Ming Dynasty's army.

With the deployment of Wang Wei's Wing Dragon Army, the Guan Ning Army was completely stunned.

In an instant.

Looking around, this strongest army at the end of the Ming Dynasty had dwindled to only a few hundred men.

"how so!"

"Why!"

"It can be said that Wu Sangui's mentality completely collapsed. He did not expect that his invincible Guan Ning Army would be almost completely wiped out in less than an hour!"

After a while.

Liu Lei personally captured Wu Sangui alive.

Not long after.

Zhu Ying also appeared before Wu Sangui, riding the Wind God Pteranodon.

"You are Wu Sangui?"

Zhu Yong used his deep voice to question Wu Sangui, who was already bound hand and foot.

"Exactly."

"Who are you!"

"Why is there such a large army?!"

"Are you... one of the court officials or a rebel?" Wu Sangui knew he was doomed, but before he died, he wanted to find out who his opponent was.

"I am the grandson of the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"What? The grandson of the Ming emperor?" Wu Sangui was dumbfounded. He had no idea what Zhu Yingshuo meant.

but.

Zhu Ying did not intend to explain himself to Wu Sangui.

Zhu Ying continued in a cold tone, "Wu Sangui, you colluded with the Tartars outside the Great Wall to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty. Do you know your crime?"

Wu Sangui hurriedly said, "The Ming Dynasty is finished! Li Zicheng's rebel army has already captured the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen is dead! The reason I joined forces with Dorgon is that I hope the people can be spared from war as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Wu Sangui's words, Zhu Ying couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"It's truly laughable, Wu Sangui! You're a coward who clings to life and is two-faced; you deserve to die!"

"Liu Lei!"

"Kill Wu Sangui!"

"Yes, sir!" Liu Lei accepted the order without hesitation.

that's it.

Thus ended the life of Wu Sangui, a powerful warlord at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

after that.

Zhu Ying successfully occupied Shanhaiguan.

at the same time.

Outside this pass.

The main base of the Tartar army.

Wu Sangui's nephew, Wu Guogui, led several dozen guards, riding swiftly...

After half a day, they finally arrived at the Tartar army's main camp. (End of Chapter)
