Chapter 36

"What is written on it?" The Tatar Ten-Thousand-Man Commander asked immediately.

The Tatar soldier looked and said with an ugly expression: "It says... it says that one day they will kill their way to our tribe's court, behead the tribal leader, slaughter our tribe, and let... let our tribal leader wait."

Upon hearing this.

The Tatar Ten-Thousand-Man Commander was full of anger: "Seeking death."

"Pass the order down."

"Continue the pursuit."

"I want to tear these damned Ming soldiers into ten thousand pieces." The Ten-Thousand-Man Commander roared.

"Yes."

All the Tatar Thousand-Man Commanders responded loudly.

Shaxian City!

Military camp.

"Thousand-Man Commander."

"Although we have reported the military situation this time, I wonder if the Regional Military Commissioner will blame us?"

The deputy Thousand-Man Commander under Li Tao asked with worry.

"What blame could there be?"

"I have already written it exactly as it happened in the military report."

"Zhu Ying is headstrong and arbitrary, actually wanting to use a tiny force to raid a Tatar tribe guarded by tens of thousands of troops; this is undoubtedly seeking death."

"In order to avoid casualties among the soldiers of my Thousand-Man Commander Camp, I naturally had to report it."

"Of course."

"Before evacuating, we also harassed the Tatar tribe; what blame could there be for this?" Li Tao smiled faintly, not worried at all.

It was also at this moment!

"Report to the Thousand-Man Commander."

"The Regional Military Commissioner has sent someone."

Li Tao's personal guard walked over quickly to report.

"Let's go."

Li Tao responded immediately.

Then he took two deputy Thousand-Man Commanders and walked toward the outside of the main hall.

Once outside.

He saw the commander of Bu Wan's personal guards.

"Commander Chen."

"What orders does the Regional Military Commissioner have?"

Li Tao bowed.

"By the order of the Regional Military Commissioner, I am to convey a military order."

Bu Wan's personal guard commander looked at Li Tao and said in a deep voice.

"Subordinate respectfully listens to the military order."

Li Tao knelt down immediately, and the two deputy Thousand-Man Commanders behind him also bowed.

"Thousand-Man Commander Li Tao."

"Disobeyed the superior's military order, fled the battlefield, and was cowardly."

"Now, dismiss his Thousand-Man Commander position and demote him to a soldier."

"Deputy Thousand-Man Commanders Wang Wu and Liu Wei, failed to advise, demoted by one rank, demoted to Company Commanders."

"The Third Cavalry Thousand-Man Commander Camp, the Regional Military Commissioner has already transferred other Thousand-Man Commanders to take over." Commander Chen held the military order and read it loudly.

Hearing this.

Li Tao and the two deputy Thousand-Man Commanders beside him had their expressions change drastically.

"Commander Chen? Why is this?"

"Where did I disobey the military order? Where did I flee the battlefield?"

"I withdrew because Zhu Ying ordered it, and the reason I disobeyed his military order was because he wanted to take the brothers to their deaths; I did not disobey, I was just advising."

"And he also said that as long as I harassed the southern Tatar tribe, I could withdraw, and the merits and demerits would cancel each other out." Li Tao was also panicked and immediately retorted.

"This order was issued by Lord Bu Wan himself, and I don't know the specific reasons."

"But... you were wrong about one point."

"Garrison Commander Zhu Ying leading the army to raid the Tatar tribe was not seeking death; the results of this battle have already been sent back, and Garrison Commander Zhu led the army to break through the northern Tatar tribe, killing ten thousand enemies, with rich results."

"Of the five Thousand-Man Commander Camps under Garrison Commander Zhu, only your Third Thousand-Man Commander Camp fled the battlefield, while the other Thousand-Man Commanders all followed and built merits for the country."

"Because of Garrison Commander Zhu's actions, the entire Tatar tribe was attracted by him, unable to send troops to reinforce the Yuan court, allowing Daning to be temporarily free from worry; this is a great merit."

"As a Great Ming soldier, you fled the battlefield, disobeyed military orders, and were cowardly; it is shameful."

Commander Chen said coldly.

He also had no good attitude toward Li Tao.

The army has its own way of handling things, and its own attitude.

Those who are cowardly are naturally despised.

After speaking.

Commander Chen did not waste time, directly threw the military order stamped with the Regional Military Commissioner's seal at Li Tao, and then turned and left.

Seeing the military order in front of him.

Li Tao's expression became extremely ugly.

"He actually broke the Tatar tribe?"

"With only four thousand troops?"

"How is this possible?"

Li Tao's heart churned; clearly, he had not expected that Zhu Ying could actually achieve such results.

But thinking about it again.

Li Tao's heart grew deep hatred: "It must be that this Zhu Ying did not keep his promise and deliberately reported to the Regional Military Commissioner that I fled the battlefield! He is a villain, he deserves to die."

"Thousand-Man Commander."

"What should we do now?"

The two deputy Thousand-Man Commanders looked at Li Tao with bitter expressions.

"This matter is not over."

"Zhu Ying."

Li Tao's face was filled with hatred.

Clearly.

He also understood that he had been played by Zhu Ying.

Time flew by!

Northern Frontier!

Under the night sky!

Except for the faint moonlight, everything was silent.

Zhu Ying was checking a map.

At a campfire.

Zhu Ying and a group of Thousand-Man Commanders were gathered together.

"Garrison Commander."

"Those Tatars have been lured away."

"We drove more than a thousand warhorses toward the west and east, the hoof prints are completely chaotic, and they have been completely misled."

"In the vast northern frontier, it is not easy for them to find us." Zhang Wu reported with a smile.

"When we were left in this northern frontier before, everyone thought it was a road with no hope of survival, but the Garrison Commander actually led us to live for so many days, and also made the Tatars suffer such a big loss; as the saying goes, killing one is breaking even, killing two is making a profit, and what we have made is not just two." Wei Quan also looked at Zhu Ying with admiration and said.

"Yes."

"Originally, when I saw the Garrison Commander was young, I only thought the Garrison Commander would lead us to our deaths; although I obeyed the Garrison Commander's order, I was still a bit worried and unconvinced in my heart, but now, whoever dares to speak any bad words about the Garrison Commander in front of us, I will slap them directly in the face." Zhuang Wei also echoed with a smile.

From their words, one could tell.

After these days of great battles.

Zhu Ying led them to break enemy tribes and slaughter thousands of Tatar cavalrymen.

This kind of result also made them feel incomparably happy.

It also made them completely convinced of Zhu Ying, and they no longer had any complaints.

"Have the casualty statistics come out?" Zhu Ying put down the map and asked in a deep voice.

"Garrison Commander."

"This time in the head-on battle with the Tatars, although our strength was a bit inferior, our Han sons are all warriors; in this battle, we killed at least four thousand enemies, and our army lost two hundred and fifty-seven men, with four hundred and eighty wounded." Wei Quan said with excitement.

Such results could not be called anything but a great victory.

And it was a great victory that was fundamentally difficult to create.

Of course.

The Thousand-Man Commanders here all knew.

The root cause of being able to achieve such great results lay in Zhu Ying; if it weren't for Zhu Ying being valiant and invincible, charging directly into the enemy formation, killing the enemy general and the enemy flag among the thousand troops, and not letting the enemy's morale suffer great damage, then the casualties of the soldiers under their command would not have been just this much.

Just as Zhu Ying said when he first became a Thousand-Man Commander, if the general does not fear death, and the soldiers do not covet life, then it will be an invincible army.

Every time there was a great battle, Zhu Ying was the first to charge, which was an inspiration to every soldier.

Of course.

The bonus brought by the official seal of authority also made the combat power of the soldiers under Zhu Ying increase, which was the reason why the casualties were so small.

"We have temporarily shaken off the Tatars."

"Let the brothers rest well and have a good sleep."

"Tonight, I will keep watch." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
