Chapter 107

"Die for me."

Zhu Ying shouted coldly.

The voice contained infinite killing intent.

The tiger-headed great blade was raised in the air, and he slashed toward Yesian Buhua.

The blade was sharp and unstoppable.

"Fight to the death."

Yesian Buhua held the blade with both hands, trying his best to meet the attack.

The two blades collided.

What came was not a full collision.

Just for a moment.

"Puff."

Yesian Buhua felt a sharp pain from his arms, and an extremely terrifying force invaded his whole body rapidly along his arms.

His bones and meridians cracked instantly.

Without any chance to react, he was directly blasted away.

Like a parabola, he was directly blasted more than ten steps away, fell heavily to the ground, and instantly became lifeless.

"Killed Northern Yuan Fifth-Rank General 【Yesian Buhua】, picked up 50 points of all attributes, picked up 50 days of lifespan, picked up one ordinary treasure chest," the panel prompted.

And Zhu Ying's advance did not stop.

He slashed with his blade at the Yuan flag-bearer holding the Yuan army battle flag in front of him.

One blade fell.

Both the person and the flag were instantly killed and severed.

The battle flag of this Yuan cavalry unit was broken.

And it was precisely because of this.

The morale of this Yuan cavalry unit was instantly thrown into chaos.

"I have already slain the Yuan cavalry general."

"Brothers."

"Slaughter the Yuan army, leave no survivors."

"Kill."

Zhu Ying roared violently.

Looking at the countless Yuan soldiers in front, he shook the battle blade in his hand, and the slaughter began again.

Wufeng charged in with all his might.

Zhu Ying charged with all his might.

"Wild Dance Blade Technique."

"Slash."

Zhu Ying used his martial art.

The battle blade in his hand was as dense as raindrops, and with every blade fall, a Yuan soldier, or even several Yuan soldiers, perished.

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier, picked up 10 points of internal qi, picked up 15 days of lifespan."

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier..."

Charging all the way.

The panel attribute pickup prompts were constant.

Under Zhu Ying's command.

The two thousand cavalry under his command charged crazily, and this Yuan cavalry unit had already been completely killed through by the Daning cavalry.

Their encirclement of Marquis Lan Yu was also successfully disintegrated.

At this moment.

Although the Yuan army's encirclement formation had already been opened.

But, the offensive and defensive positions had already changed.

"Zhu Ying."

"He really saved us."

Looking at Zhu Ying, who was less than dozens of steps away and was crazily slashing the enemy at this moment, Marquis Lan Yu's expression was also incredibly conflicted.

Even he had never thought that one day he would be saved by Zhu Ying.

When Zhu Ying killed his way over.

After a few blade slashes.

Several Yuan soldiers in front of Marquis Lan Yu were also easily slaughtered.

And it was precisely at this moment.

Zhu Ying's all attributes also reached the critical point.

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier, picked up 10 points of strength, picked up 10 days of lifespan."

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier..."

"Congratulations to the host for all attributes breaking through 4000 points, rewarded with one First-Rank treasure chest."

The panel prompted.

Following that.

The whole body attributes had already crossed the critical point, allowing Zhu Ying to once again reach a stronger level.

As all attributes broke through, it was as if he had ushered in a sublimation, all fatigue was dispelled, and his strength ushered in growth.

After this battle of charging, there were no eight hundred, but at least five or six hundred Yuan soldiers who died in Zhu Ying's hands, which was also the root of Zhu Ying's increasing all attributes.

"Marquis Lan Yu."

Zhu Ying glanced out of the corner of his eye and also saw Marquis Lan Yu, who was somewhat disheveled in front of him.

However.

Zhu Ying just glanced at him and did not pay attention to Marquis Lan Yu.

This battle.

Zhu Ying did not come specifically to save Marquis Lan Yu, but to save these Great Ming soldiers who had encountered the Yuan army's ambush.

If he did not lead his troops into battle.

These nearly one hundred thousand Great Ming soldiers would all perish under the Yuan army's slaughter.

As comrades-in-arms.

Zhu Ying naturally would not sit idly by.

"Brothers, kill our way through the Yuan army!"

"Leave no survivors."

"The survival of the comrades in the city depends on you."

Zhu Ying raised his blood-stained tiger-headed great blade again and gave a loud shout.

Wufeng raised his head, his two hooves raised, stepped down fiercely, stepping on countless corpses, and charged toward the Yuan army again.

"We swear to follow the General to the death."

"Kill!"

Zhang Wu and Liu Zhen gave a violent shout.

Waving their battle blades, they followed closely.

Nearly twenty thousand Daning cavalry were also as high as a rainbow in morale, following their general and charging crazily, each one of them was fearless, crazily attacking the Yuan army.

At this moment.

Even every Daning border soldier who charged over had a sense of pride.

In the past.

These armies from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were all watched by them from the sidelines.

Their Daning border troops only handled some miscellaneous matters.

But now.

The situation was already different.

Their Daning border troops had already become the main force in rescuing these Metropolitan Governor's Mansion armies; if the Daning border troops had not appeared, Marquis Lan Yu and the others would have all ended up being wiped out.

This battle was not only about establishing merit but also about letting them hold their heads high, and every Daning border soldier was incredibly moved.

"Kill, kill all the Tatars."

"Kill all these damn Tatars..."

Nearly twenty thousand Daning border cavalry roared, crazily waving their blades and slaughtering.

The Yuan cavalry surrounding Marquis Lan Yu were also being slaughtered rapidly, which was extremely tragic.

The Yuan army's encirclement momentum had already been scattered and disintegrated by the Daning border troops.

"Do not mess up the military formation."

"Archers move forward."

"Spearmen advance."

"Encircle them for me."

"Encircle them!"

"Those who retreat, behead."

And at this moment.

Agunu was panicked, shouting in a panic.

Because of the appearance of the Daning border troops, the war situation that was about to annihilate Marquis Lan Yu's one hundred thousand army had ushered in a sudden change, the encirclement line had collapsed, and with the collapse of the battle line, the Ming army in Tieling City was also crazily rushing out, and there was no chance to burn them completely with fire, unless they could show that they could continue to close in.

But Zhu Ying led the cavalry with superior combat power, charging crazily, which was simply not something the Yuan army could resist.

Time passed.

Under Agunu's coercion, the Yuan army encircled.

But just at this moment!

From the west side of Tieling City.

Another series of trampling sounds followed.

Nearly thirty thousand infantry dispersed, forming three military formations, and orderly counter-encircled the Yuan army.

Although the troop strength was much less than the Yuan army, the Yuan army had already been killed into a partial defeat by Zhu Ying leading the cavalry.

The counter-encirclement momentum given by the Daning border troops had been formed.

"Archers, fire arrows."

Only Chen Heng and the two Assistant Commanders of the Daning border troops were seen commanding the troops.

Following the simultaneous loud shout of the three warriors.

Ten thousand arrows fired at once.

Countless chaotic arrows swept and fell toward the Yuan army.

Chaotic arrows like rain.

"Ah... ah... ah..."

"There is still the Ming army in the rear."

"We are surrounded."

"The Ming army still has reinforcements."

"Not good..."

"Ah..."

Countless tragic wails appeared among the Yuan army.

Countless Yuan soldiers did not have time to react and were shot and killed by the dense rain of arrows falling from the rear, falling into a pool of blood.

In front, Zhu Ying led the cavalry to charge and attack crazily.

In the rear, the Daning border infantry fired arrows constantly.

At this moment.

The army commanded by Agunu had already been counter-encircled, and the war situation had ushered in a great change.

"General."

"Not good."

"The Ming army has arrived at our rear flank."

"Looking at the flag, it is the Ming army's Daning border troops."

"We have been counter-encircled by the Ming army."

A deputy general reported to Agunu in horror.

Hearing the sound!

Looking at the predicament of being attacked from front and back.

Agunu's face had already turned pale: "How could this be? The Grand Marshal's strategy was clearly completed, Marquis Lan Yu was already trapped in heavy encirclement, and one hundred thousand Ming troops were also surrounded in the city; this strategy had already succeeded!"

"Why... why were there still Daning border troops not among them?"

"Why did they arrive so quickly to rescue?"

"The Grand Marshal's strategy, the gathering of the last elite troops of our Liaodong, has failed."

"How could this be?"

At this moment.

For Agunu, it was undoubtedly collapsing and desperate.

When he completed the strategy of burning the city and encircling, he had already foreseen the scene of one hundred thousand Ming troops turning into nothing; as long as it was completed, his Liaodong Yuan army could counterattack comprehensively, deal a heavy blow to the Yuan army, and as long as it was completed, the land of Liaodong would still be firmly controlled in the hands of his Great Yuan.

But now. The war situation had not even passed an hour.

It had ushered in a reversal.

A Daning border troop unit that was wandering outside the battlefield and was not completely valued by them had appeared.

Actually, it had hard-killed their cavalry and hard-disintegrated their encirclement.

And, it had also formed a counter-encirclement against them with infantry.

"General."

"These Daning border troops advance and retreat with measure, cavalry charge, infantry encircle."

"Clearly, they had a layout long ago."

"Could it be that the Grand Marshal's plan was leaked?"

A deputy general said in horror.

Once these words fell.

Agunu's expression changed instantly, and after struggling for a moment, he shook his head: "Impossible!"

"This time the strategy of burning the city was personally laid out by the Grand Marshal, every general's family was strictly guarded, and once they dared to leak it, all the generals' families would perish, and there were no flaws in the implementation; this news absolutely could not have been leaked."

"Unless..."

Agunu suddenly thought of a possibility.

After thinking of this possibility, his expression was even more solemn, and there was a sense of horror.

"The Grand Marshal's layout has already been seen through by Zhu Ying."

"So... he followed the trend, waiting for our army to burn the city, waiting for our ambush troops to kill their way out and surround Marquis Lan Yu, and then... he carried out a counter-encirclement to annihilate our army in one fell swoop."

Agunu said in a deep voice, and with every sentence he said, his expression turned a few shades paler.

If it were an ambush knowing the intelligence, perhaps Agunu would not be so afraid, but if it were seen through by Zhu Ying, that would be terrifying.

"If this Zhu Ying really saw through the Grand Marshal's strategy."

"Then... our Great Yuan has a real great enemy."

"Such a person is too terrifying."

Agunu thought to himself.

"General."

"What should we do now?"

"We have already been surrounded by the Ming army."

A deputy general rode over and asked in horror.

"Kill our way out!"

"Preserve our strength."

Agunu said through gritted teeth.

By now.

Nahachu's strategy had already failed, and continuing to surround and kill here was impossible.

What needed to be done now was to preserve strength as much as possible.

"Pass my order."

"Withdraw the army, withdraw to Liaoyang."

"Kill our way out of the encirclement."

Agunu shouted through gritted teeth.

"The General has an order."

"Withdraw the army."

"Withdraw the army..."

The surrounding personal guards and generals shouted loudly immediately.

The sound spread!

The Yuan army, which had already fallen into encirclement, had its fighting spirit fade even more.

The sound of gongs also echoed.

Seeing this.

Marquis Lan Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Yuan army is going to withdraw," Marquis Lan Yu said slowly.

"General."

"The Daning border troops' infantry are attacking the Yuan army's rear flank."

"The Yuan army is attacked from front and back, and has to withdraw."

A general rode to Marquis Lan Yu and reported.

"No wonder."

Marquis Lan Yu nodded in realization.

Now he understood completely.

Why the Yuan army suddenly withdrew.

"Everything was seen through by Zhu Ying."

"He used cavalry to charge and break the Yuan army's encirclement formation."

"And used infantry to bypass the rear and counter-encircle the Yuan army."

"One link after another, this is a strategy of intending to deal a heavy blow to the Yuan army, or even annihilate the Yuan army."

"Zhu Ying! He truly has the talent of a commander!"

Marquis Lan Yu thought to himself, and at this moment, he was completely shocked by Zhu Ying's military strategy.

And at this moment!

From the city gate.

One after another, Ming soldiers escaped from inside, but most of the Ming soldiers were scorched black by smoke, looking like they had survived a disaster.

When they saw the great battle outside the city.

These Ming soldiers who escaped were also stunned.

"Do not block the city gate."

"Come out and line up quickly."

"The Daning border troops have already killed their way out of the Yuan army's encirclement; after lining up, counterattack the Yuan army."

"Slaughter these damn Tatars."

"Kill!"

Marquis Lan Yu came back to his senses and shouted to the army at the city gate.

Reorganize the army.

On the other side.

Zhu Ying led his cavalry to charge constantly.

After killing through the Yuan cavalry's formation, he charged toward the Yuan infantry in front.

Hearing the Yuan army sound the gong to withdraw and break out toward the east.

Zhu Ying gave a cold smile.

"Gathered so many troops, and they are all elite soldiers."

"If I don't leave most of you behind, then this layout of mine will become a joke," Zhu Ying laughed coldly.

Staring at the location of the Yuan army's fleeing military flag.

Charge and attack, the flag is the guide.

Retreat and break out, the flag is also the guide.

On the battlefield, slaying the flag is also the first merit, this is the root.

"Daning border troops soldiers."

"The Yuan court is cruel, using fire to burn the city to deal with our comrades-in-arms, intending to annihilate us all."

"Our comrades-in-arms were burned to death by raging fire, this hatred is irreconcilable."

"Follow me to kill."

"Kill all these damn Tatars."

Zhu Ying raised the blood-stained tiger-headed great blade and gave a majestic shout.

Faintly, it even revealed the sound of a tiger's roar, the sound was like a tiger's roar, spreading in all directions.

Hearing the sound!

The Daning cavalry charging behind Zhu Ying were all high in morale.

"We swear to follow the General to the death."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill all the Tatars."

"Kill..."

Tens of thousands of Daning cavalry shouted in response, and not only them, but also Marquis Lan Yu's subordinates who were originally trapped, and those Beiping army soldiers, all carried the flames of revenge, crazily charging toward the Yuan army.

"Wufeng, charge!"

Zhu Ying gave a low shout.

The war horse under him let out a neigh.

Charged forward with all his might.

Zhu Ying's battle blade danced, crazily slaughtering Yuan soldiers, his gaze fixed on the Yuan army battle flag.

Not only to slay the flag but also to slay the Yuan army's commanding general this time.

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier, picked up 10 points of internal qi, picked up 10 days of lifespan."

"Killed a Northern Yuan ten-thousand-man general, picked up 20 points of all attributes, picked up one ordinary treasure chest."

"Killed a Northern Yuan..."

The battle blade waved.

Slaughtered countless.

On the battlefield, Zhu Ying was an unstoppable god of slaughter, unstoppable, those who blocked Zhu Ying's path, died.

Time passed.

Charging all the way.

With Tieling City as the center, for more than ten li around, corpses were everywhere, and blood stained the ground red.

Near evening.

The sun had already set in the west, and only the fire-red sunset could be seen in the sky.

At a position more than twenty li east of Tieling City.

Zhu Ying stood with his blade horizontal, behind him were Daning cavalry whose battle armor and weapons were stained with blood.

And in front.

Less than a thousand Yuan infantry mixed with cavalry, in their center, the Yuan army battle flag stood solemnly, and under the battle flag, Agunu's face was pale.

Because they were already surrounded by Daning cavalry, and there was nowhere to escape.

"Who is the Yuan general?"

Zhu Ying slowly rode out, holding his blade and pointing at the Yuan general under the battle flag, shouting.

"I am Agunu."

"The Grand Marshal's great general of Great Yuan."

By now.

Agunu did not hide his identity, but rode out, facing it calmly.

"Very good."

Seeing Agunu like this, Zhu Ying also nodded with satisfaction.

"Surrender or not?"

Zhu Ying asked in a deep voice.

Although he asked, he did not have half the intention of persuading surrender.

Although the merit of capturing alive was greater, what Zhu Ying wanted was not only battle merit but also treasure chests.

Everything that improves one's own strength is the royal way.

"Hahaha."

Hearing Zhu Ying persuade surrender, Agunu laughed out loud.

He stared at Zhu Ying, his face carrying a kind of unyielding spirit of a general.

"I am a Great Yuan noble, carrying a title, I am deeply favored by the Grand Marshal, how can I surrender?" Agunu laughed, his eyes full of unyielding spirit.

Afterwards.

He stared at Zhu Ying, carrying a bit of ripples, and also a quest for knowledge: "You, you should be Zhu Ying, right?"

"I have no way to retreat here."

"I just want to ask you one thing."

"It can be considered as fellow generals, let me die without regrets."

Hearing this!

Zhu Ying looked calmly: "Speak."

"Did you see through the Grand Marshal's scheme, see through the Grand Marshal's strategy of using Tieling as bait to annihilate your Ming army?"

"Or, did you get intelligence?" Agunu asked directly.

Obviously.

Regarding this matter.

He really wanted to know.

"Nahachu is indeed powerful, able to plan this strategy, and his actions are also very cautious, making it difficult to see flaws."

"Even if Marquis Lan Yu sent someone to Tieling to investigate, he couldn't investigate anything."

"But ultimately Nahachu was careless."

"I led my army to break through more than a dozen cities in Liaodong, and each city was dominated by new recruits, and your Yuan court's elite troops were almost non-existent."

"From this, I can determine one point, these elite troops were either transferred by Nahachu to garrison Liaoyang, or they had a great plan."

"But with Nahachu's ability, he should have seen that continuing to defend blindly would not be able to hold Liaodong."

"Therefore, I determined that he wanted to counterattack."

"And the result of the counterattack, after thinking about it, could only be using Tieling as bait," Zhu Ying said slowly.

Hearing this.

Agunu also understood completely.

Looking at Zhu Ying's gaze, it also became incredibly solemn, and then it was a kind of admiration.

"Zhu Ying."

"I have heard your name many times."

"Jincheng, Kaiyuan."

"And even the land of Jianzhou, your name appeared."

"I originally thought you were young, and achieving these results was just luck, but now it seems, I underestimated you, and the Grand Marshal also underestimated you."

"Ming country."

"It is truly prosperous in national fortune."

"Actually appearing such a general as you."

"This time I lost not unjustly."

Agunu said slowly.

Afterwards.

He slowly raised the battle blade in his hand, and his eyes also became cold.

"Zhu Ying."

"Come and fight."

"Our Great Yuan boys are not afraid of death."

Agunu shouted.

Rode his horse and charged toward Zhu Ying.

Following his movement.

The generals behind him, the personal guards, and the thousand Yuan soldiers here also roared: "Follow the General, kill!"

This was the last charge of Agunu and these Yuan soldiers.

There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only enemy and self.

Seeing this!

Zhu Ying did not have any hesitation, raised his battle blade, and gave a majestic shout: "Kill!"

The next moment.

Wufeng charged out.

The surrounding Daning cavalry also quickly charged out.

When facing Agunu head-on.

Zhu Ying's battle blade fell.

Easily beheading him.

"Killed Northern Yuan Great General 【Agunu】, picked up 150 points of all attributes, picked up 150 days of lifespan, rewarded with one First-Rank treasure chest," the panel prompted.

Following that.

Zhu Ying's battle blade fell again.

"Killed Northern Yuan Fifth-Rank General, picked up 50 points of all attributes, picked up 50 days of lifespan, rewarded with one ordinary treasure chest."

The battle continued.

But in an instant.

Under the encirclement and annihilation of ten thousand cavalry, these more than a thousand Yuan soldiers were slaughtered, leaving only hundreds of masterless war horses and corpses everywhere.

"General."

"The Yuan army's main general has been slain, should our army continue to advance?"

Zhang Wu rode to Zhu Ying and asked excitedly.

"The Yuan army is defeated and fleeing eastward."

"This time, do not give the Yuan army a foothold."

"There are three small cities east of Tieling, and now the Yuan army is full of defeated soldiers everywhere."

"Zhang Wu."

"Liu Zhen."

"I order you to collect the Yuan army's military flags and battle armor, disguise yourselves as Yuan army defeated soldiers, enter the cities east of Tieling, and seize the cities under the cover of night."

"Of course."

"Now that the Yuan army is defeated, it is not just the three cities in the east, if you have the heart and strength, you can continue to attack eastward and disguise yourselves as the Yuan army to seize the cities."

"I will record as much battle merit for you as you seize cities," Zhu Ying ordered immediately.

"The subordinate accepts the order."

Zhang Wu and Liu Zhen responded excitedly.

"Go."

Zhu Ying said.

"Yes."

The two could not wait to accept the order, then gathered their troops, first cleaned up the Yuan army's battle armor and flags on the battlefield, and then prepared to kill eastward.
