Chapter 22: Movements of the Great Ming army!

Just one saber strike.

That Tatar soldier who rushed out was instantly beheaded.

"Killed a Tatar foot soldier, picked up 20 points of endurance," the panel prompted.

But Zhu Ying did not stop swinging his saber, and the warhorse charged forward.

The war saber danced.

Each strike fell with the force of burning the boats, a blade edge that ordinary people could not block.

In an instant.

Several more Tatar soldiers died at Zhu Ying's hands.

"Killed a Tatar foot soldier, picked up 20 points of strength."

"Killed a Tatar foot soldier, picked up 20 points of speed..."

Several more prompts.

Attributes improved.

With Zhu Ying's strike.

The cavalry of the First Battalion also struck one after another.

They killed the Tatar soldiers who were resisting with blades without any politeness.

Hundreds of cavalrymen all struck, surrounding and annihilating them.

Almost in an instant.

These hundreds of Tatar soldiers were all beheaded.

But these Tatar civilians were still surrounded by the cavalry, looking at the surrounding Great Ming cavalry with fear and hatred.

"Battalion Commander."

"How should these people be dealt with?"

Zhang Wu pointed to the thousands of Tatars and asked.

"If it were Great Ming civilians who fell into the hands of these Tatars, what would they do?" Zhu Ying turned his head and asked Zhang Wu in return.

"Men killed, women humiliated."

Zhang Wu replied without hesitation.

As border troops of the northern frontier.

Zhang Wu naturally knew clearly.

Because they bordered the Northern Yuan, many places, once invaded by the Northern Yuan, often saw villages slaughtered and clans exterminated.

War, in itself, is extremely cruel.

Once they are allowed to invade, there will be no order, because the Tatars of their northern frontier all advocate killing, the most primitive killing, and do not have the civilization of the Han people.

As a reborn person.

Zhu Ying knew clearly how the Tatars of later generations would treat the Han people; the Three Days of Yangzhou, the Three Massacres of Jiading, "keep the hair and lose the head, keep the head and lose the hair," these all happened in later generations, with countless Han civilians slaughtered.

"Since that is the case."

"Then follow the rules of their north."

Zhu Ying turned his head and said coldly: "Those taller than the cart wheel, behead them."

With so many people, the Great Ming did not have enough military rations to feed them, nor did they have enough reserve troops to watch over them.

And taking them along was also a burden.

Since that is the case.

Then they must cut off their vital strength; this is war.

It has nothing to do with anything else.

"Obey the Battalion Commander's order."

Zhang Wu and Fan Qing acknowledged the order immediately.

With a wave of his hand.

Many cavalrymen dismounted directly.

Using the cart wheel as a guide.

In an instant.

There was a burst of wailing and screaming here.

And these.

Zhu Ying did not have much of a ripple in his heart.

If the situation were reversed, they would treat the Great Ming civilians even more cruelly, without any survivors.

"War!"

Zhu Ying looked at this scene coldly, and there was a kind of emotion in his heart.

"This era is the beginning of the Great Ming era, and in the future, the Tatars will seize the Central Plains and enslave the Han people."

"But, since I, Zhu Ying, have come."

"I will absolutely not let all this happen."

"If that day really comes in the future, I will live forever, and I will have the ability to build a force capable of slaughtering the Tatars, founding a nation, and achieving hegemony."

"The so-called massacres of later generations, those Han traitors, I will absolutely not let them appear again."

"Since I have come, I must do something," Zhu Ying thought secretly.

These days.

After the battle with the Tatar border army at the border, the Tatars had no resistance at the border and were retreating rapidly to larger tribes.

And Bu Wan directly ordered the Great Ming to pursue with all its might and kill any Tatars they encountered.

After taking over the First Cavalry Battalion, Zhu Ying also followed the orders issued from above, leading the cavalry battalion to march north, killing many Tatar stragglers and many Tatar young men along the way.

"Battalion Commander."

"Those Tatars taller than the cart wheel have all been beheaded."

Zhang Wu rode over to report.

"Seize all their food, then continue north to join the main army."

"From now on, treat these Tatars the same way."

"Cut off their young men, cut off their food supply."

"If they can survive and escape back to their tribes, that's their luck; what is consumed is their Tatars' food," Zhu Ying instructed.

"Subordinate acknowledges the order."

Zhang Wu replied respectfully.

"The Tatar border has collapsed, I believe they have already asked the Yuan court for reinforcements."

"And with the strength of these Jianzhou Tatars, it is not just an army of ten thousand; I believe they are also gathering a large army, plus the Northern Yuan's."

"A real bitter battle is coming."

"I don't know where the imperial court's main army has reached," Zhu Ying thought secretly.

Although the Danning border troops had broken into the northern frontier and dealt a heavy blow to the Tatars, and the Tatars were fleeing in all directions, they were ultimately just the border tribes of the Tatars, and it was very difficult to exterminate their clan.

The most difficult thing to do in the northern frontier is to exterminate a clan, because the territory is vast and the direction is unpredictable; they can flee, flee frantically, and then accumulate strength to come again.

This is also one of the reasons why the Central Plains dynasties, no matter which one, have to face the threat of the northern frontier.

Jianzhou Tatar tribal court!

In this vast northern frontier.

Tatars are actually the collective term used by the Great Ming Han civilians for the alien tribes of the northern frontier.

And this Jianzhou Tatar clan is not just one tribe, but divided into three.

It's just that the Jianzhou Tatars are the most powerful tribe, while the other two are still in the north.

"Chief."

"The Ming army has now launched a large-scale attack on our tribe's territory, and many tribesmen have been slaughtered by the Ming army."

"Now the Ming army is approaching the Blue Flag Tribe. Although there are troops stationed there, the Ming army's strength seems not small, I fear they cannot hold them off."

"General Agunu of the Blue Flag Tribe begs the leader to send troops to support immediately."

A Tatar general reported respectfully to the leader, Ahachu, on the throne.

"No need to panic."

"The Ming army won't be able to jump around for long."

"This leader has already asked the Great Yuan for reinforcements."

"Grand Marshal Nahachu has already sent troops to support," Ahachu said in a deep voice, not worried at all.

"Chief."

"The Han people are no longer the Han people under the Yuan court in the past."

"This time, in the battle with the Ming army, our tribe has already lost more than ten thousand fierce sons and thousands of warhorses."

"And we have been chased by the Ming army for tens of thousands of tribesmen."

"If we really go head-to-head with the Ming Empire, our tribe might really suffer heavy losses," a Tatar general said.

In this tribe, there is no distinction between civil and military; what they believe in is that the strong are respected, and plunder.

However, there are also those who know the current strength of the Great Ming Empire.

"If it were just our tribe, we would indeed be unable to contend with the Ming Empire."

"But the Great Yuan is still there, still with a million brave soldiers, and one day they will kill their way into the Central Plains again and destroy this Ming Empire."

"This time, our tribe followed the decree of the Great Yuan. In the future, when we counterattack, Grand Marshal Nahachu has already promised our tribe a piece of extremely fertile land, allowing our tribe to enter Liaodong as well."

"Moving south."

"Except for the many direct tribes of the Great Yuan in the past, who can get such an opportunity?" Ahachu's eyes revealed a burning look.

Clearly.

He had been completely moved by Nahachu's conditions.

This was also the foundation for him to follow the Yuan court's decree and be an enemy of the Great Ming.
