Chapter 34
With one bowshot, the lives of five Tatars were extinguished.
The Treasure Carving Bow possessed an innate armor-piercing attribute; let alone leather armor, even heavy armor could not withstand the power of this bow, not to mention that Zhu Ying possessed a strength of nearly a thousand jin.
Following the sound of Zhu Ying's bow, the arrows fell.
This was where the command lay.
"Kill!!"
Four thousand Great Ming soldiers roared, filled with killing intent.
The bows and arrows, long since drawn and ready, also tore through the air.
The entire void seemed to stall for a moment.
A rain of arrows descended upon the charging Tatar cavalry.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Under the sharpness of the arrows.
"Ah... ah..."
Many charging Tatar cavalrymen were pierced by the chaotic arrows and fell directly from their warhorses.
In the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of Tatar cavalrymen perished under the arrow rain of the Ming army, who were arrayed in formation.
"Warriors of our tribe, fear not death."
"Kill! Kill all these damned Ming soldiers."
"Leave none alive."
"Anyone who dares to retreat, execute them on the spot."
"Lads, mounted archery."
The Tatar commander roared frantically from the rear, urging the Tatars to charge the formation.
They charged toward the Ming soldiers at high speed.
At the same time, they bent their bows and nocked their arrows.
But Zhu Ying was not flustered at all; he still raised his bow, pulled arrows from the quiver on his back, and fired with great speed.
Every draw of the bow was a string of five arrows.
This was also something Zhu Ying had practiced on the battlefield.
With every draw.
The arrows tore through the air.
Five arrows instantly pierced the bodies of the Tatar soldiers, killing them outright.
And the surrounding Great Ming soldiers did the same.
Zhu Ying did not move, so they did not move, firing arrows frantically at the charging Tatars.
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 20 points of strength."
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 40 days of lifespan."
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 20 points of strength..."
The panel notifications were constant, and Zhu Ying fired arrows, killing Tatars frantically.
Every arrow found its mark.
He was like a sniper on the battlefield.
It was also at this moment!
As the Tatar cavalry crossed fifty paces.
"Kill!"
The Tatars' chaotic arrows rained down.
"First Battalion Commander Camp, charge the formation."
"The remaining Battalion Commander Camps, continue firing arrows."
Zhu Ying put away his Treasure Carving Bow and shouted loudly.
Following that.
He gripped his fine steel long saber, spurred his horse into motion, and the warhorse lunged forward.
Facing the rain of arrows falling from above.
Zhu Ying brandished his battle saber, easily knocking the arrows down.
"Swear to follow the Garrison Commander to the death."
"Brothers, kill all these barbarians."
Zhang Wu shouted loudly.
Leading the cavalry of the First Battalion Commander Camp, they followed the figure of their Garrison Commander and charged out wildly.
"Follow the Garrison Commander."
"Kill!"
The Ming cavalry charged.
Even though many soldiers were shot and fell from their horses under the Tatars' chaotic arrows, and many were wounded by the arrows, they did not stop their charge.
Great Ming soldiers fear no war!
The Ming army is not underpaid; a fully paid army is invincible!
This was no empty talk.
The Ming army during the Emperor Emperor Hongwu period was the founding army, and their combat power was the best in the Great Ming.
Both sides exchanged volleys of arrows.
The armies approached rapidly.
However, under the arrow fire of three thousand soldiers, nearly a thousand Tatar cavalrymen had already been shot dead; it was a battle of resting troops against the weary, a battle of pre-arranged formations, seizing the initiative.
When the two armies collided!
Boom!
Weapons clashed.
"Die!"
Zhu Ying brandished his long saber and swept it out.
The blade swept past.
The four Tatar cavalrymen in front had no chance to resist; even though they used their sabers to block, the blade directly severed their weapons, and several heads were instantly thrown into the air; their warhorses were still charging, and their bodies were still on the horses, but they had already lost their lives.
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 20 points of strength."
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 20 points of speed."
"Killed..."
Another series of notifications sounded.
Zhu Ying charged and killed without pause.
Brandishing his blade, he charged directly into the enemy ranks ahead.
Every slash of his saber meant the death of a Tatar cavalryman, and a single sweep took down several.
With tyrannical strength and speed surpassing ordinary men.
Zhu Ying charged into the center of the enemy formation alone, as if he had transformed into a thousand-man army, unstoppable.
Wherever the lone rider passed.
The saying of a warrior who could fight ten thousand men during the Three Kingdoms period seemed to have materialized.
"Follow the Garrison Commander."
"Kill."
"The Garrison Commander's divine might."
"Brothers, kill all these damned barbarians."
"Kill all the Tatars."
"The Garrison Commander's divine might..."
Seeing Zhu Ying's bravery, even more valiant than when he had charged into the Tatar tribe before, the battle results were fully realized.
This also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers under Zhu Ying; they followed Zhu Ying, the entire army launched an attack, and charged toward the Tatars.
The strength of this Tatar cavalry force should have been five or six thousand, quite a bit more than those under Zhu Ying, but at the moment the two armies clashed, under Zhu Ying's command, they were completely suppressed and slaughtered.
"Charge, do not retreat."
"Warriors of our tribe, kill."
The Tatar commander roared, urging his soldiers to charge.
However.
As the Ming army charged, the original offensive formation of these Tatars was already in chaos; at this moment, they were completely on the defensive.
"Found you."
While charging and killing, Zhu Ying looked for the location of the Tatar commander's flag.
When Zhu Ying charged to the rear of the Tatars alone, he saw the Tatar commander at a glance.
Without any hesitation.
"Kill!"
Zhu Ying raised his saber and charged.
Wherever the lone rider passed, dozens of personal guards followed Zhu Ying, unstoppable.
"Damned Ming army."
"Kill."
When the Tatar commander saw Zhu Ying charging toward him, his expression changed, but at this moment he had no way out, so he could only raise his saber and brace himself to kill Zhu Ying.
When the two met head-on.
Zhu Ying's blade slashed down directly.
With a crack.
"It's over."
The Tatar commander's expression changed drastically; the saber in his hand snapped instantly, and he could only watch helplessly as Zhu Ying's battle saber whistled down.
With a crack.
The head fell to the ground.
"Killed Tatar Five-Thousand-Man Commander, gained 50 points to all attributes." The panel displayed a notification.
Zhu Ying lifted his left hand, picked up the head of the Tatar commander that had fallen through the air, and hung it at his waist.
Then he looked at the Tatar behind him holding the commander's flag.
He slashed down with his saber.
Man and flag were both cut down.
"Brothers."
"The Tatar commander has been killed by me."
"Kill, leave no prisoners." Zhu Ying shouted violently.
The voice resounded around the battlefield.
Hearing this!
"The Garrison Commander's divine might."
"The Garrison Commander is a match for ten thousand men."
"The Garrison Commander is Xiang Yu reborn, no one can match him."
"Swear to follow the Garrison Commander to the death."
"Brothers, kill."
"Kill all these damned barbarians."
"Kill..."
All the Great Ming soldiers roared with extreme excitement, brandishing their battle sabers, and struck hard at these Tatars.
"The General has been killed."
"It's over."
"We have lost."
"The reinforcements have not arrived yet."
"Retreat... retreat..."
With the Tatar commander and the commander's flag cut down.
The Tatar army's morale immediately collapsed; they had no will to fight and began to flee in panic.
And Zhu Ying joined the battle circle again, brandishing his battle saber to frantically slaughter these Tatars.
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 20 points of strength."
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 20 points of spirit."
"Killed Tatar cavalryman, gained 50 days of lifespan."
"..."
"Total enemies killed exceeded 500, rewarded with one ordinary treasure chest."
