Chapter 94: Shooting and killing the Northern Yuan commander-in-chief, Hala Zhang, and establishing another great merit

As a general!

If one cannot even see this, then one is not fit to be a general.

"Brothers."

"A change must have occurred within the Yuan army in the city; their resistance has weakened."

"Put in more effort, kill our way into the city."

"Slaughter these damned Yuan soldiers."

Marquis Lan Yu brandished his sword and shouted loudly.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Ming army's shouts of battle outside the city shook the heavens.

They intensified their offensive.

For them, at this moment, they also wanted to break through the city defenses as quickly as possible, so that they could kill their way into the city sooner and seize battle merits.

The battering rams were pounding crazily against the city gates.

Boom, boom, boom!

One round after another, without pause.

Finally.

With a few cracking sounds of breakage.

The pillars and beams of the city gate could finally no longer bear it and snapped with a roar.

The city gate also swung open in an instant, and the Yuan soldiers inside were directly swept aside by this powerful impact, falling to the ground and struggling.

"The city is broken."

"The merit of breaking Kaiyuan."

A scorching look surged in Marquis Lan Yu's eyes.

Although it was said that the merit of breaking Jincheng was not as great, breaking Kaiyuan was also a merit, and this was enough to allow Marquis Lan Yu to take another step forward on the road to being enfeoffed as a Duke; as long as Liaodong was recovered, in the future, perhaps he could really be granted the position of Duke.

"Brothers."

"Kill."

"Kill all the Yuan soldiers."

"Kill."

Marquis Lan Yu roared, commanding the great army to charge into the city.

At the same time, the Ming soldiers on the scaling ladders were even more valiant, climbing onto the city towers to fight the Yuan soldiers.

However.

Upon entering the city.

What met their eyes was not the fierce resistance of the Yuan army, but a crowd of laborers who did not even have battle armor; although they held various weapons, they were being forced by the Yuan soldiers behind them to face the Ming army.

"Have these Yuan soldiers fled?"

"That shouldn't be."

"They defended so desperately before; if they wanted to flee, they would have fled long ago." When Marquis Lan Yu charged into the city and looked at these laborers forced to come forward to fight, he could not help but feel puzzled in his heart.

However.

At this moment, it was still the critical point of the battle, and it did not allow Marquis Lan Yu to think too much.

"The whole army, listen to my order, attack with all your strength."

"Anyone holding a weapon is an enemy, kill without mercy."

Marquis Lan Yu shouted loudly.

Behind him, countless Ming soldiers charged into the city one after another.

The sounds of battle, the clashing of metal and horses, the sounds of crazy slaughter.

Rampaged within this Kaiyuan city.

But.

While the great battle at the Ximen was indeed tragic, the great battle inside the city was becoming increasingly cruel.

"Brothers, follow me and kill."

"Kill all the Yuan soldiers."

"Kill our way into this Kaiyuan General's Mansion."

"Kill!"

Zhu Ying raised his battle saber, rode Mist Wind, and led the army to charge forward.

Ahead were many fleeing Yuan soldiers.

Mist Wind's speed was extremely fast.

Very quickly, it caught up with these fleeing Yuan soldiers.

With a lift of his hand, the saber fell.

Yuan soldiers' heads, severed limbs and broken arms, fresh blood splattered; it was extremely cruel.

It was simply a slaughter.

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

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

"..."

Ever since charging into the city.

The panel notifications had been ringing in Zhu Ying's ears constantly.

Charging and killing all the way.

Without any surprise.

Zhu Ying led his subordinates to kill their way to a position not many streets away from the Kaiyuan General's Mansion; the halls of the General's Mansion could already be seen from afar.

"Brothers."

"Ahead is this Kaiyuan General's Mansion; break the General's Mansion and seize the merit of this battle."

Zhu Ying shouted loudly.

He even accelerated his speed to charge and kill.

If the Huaixi faction and he were at peace, Zhu Ying naturally would not compete for merit so obviously, but now that he was at odds with the Huaixi faction, Zhu Ying would not let them have it either; this opportunity to seize battle merit, this opportunity to kill the enemy, Zhu Ying would not miss a single one.

"Swear to follow the General to the death."

"Kill."

Zhang Wu, Wei Quan, and the others roared.

They led the army to follow Zhu Ying and charge with all their might.

Many soldiers behind even raised their bows and arrows, shooting at the fleeing Yuan soldiers ahead.

Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!

Zhu Ying led the army to charge straight at the General's Mansion.

Along the way, these fleeing Yuan soldiers did not block them at all.

And just as they were approaching the General's Mansion.

From the direction of multiple streets ahead.

Many Yuan soldiers were rapidly retreating towards the east.

"Ming army."

"Disperse and break through."

"Fight the Ming army to the death."

When they saw Zhu Ying and his Ming army charging over, these gathered and retreating Yuan soldiers were shocked, and at the same time, under the mobilization of the Yuan generals, they quickly organized an attack.

"It seems these Yuan soldiers are preparing to retreat."

Seeing the Yuan soldiers gathering on various streets, Zhu Ying sneered instead.

Because he had already understood the Yuan army's goal.

It must be to break through and retreat from the Dongmen.

Since that was the case.

"Brothers."

"The Yuan army is preparing to retreat."

"The ownership of this city is already decided."

"However, we have blocked the Yuan army's retreat route; they will surely fight our army to the death."

"But at the Ximen, our Great Ming army must have already broken the city."

"Do you dare to follow me and fight the Yuan army to the end?"

Zhu Ying raised the battle saber in his hand and shouted with a powerful voice.

"Swear to follow the General to the death."

All the soldiers behind Zhu Ying responded with roars, their killing intent boundless.

"Good."

"Follow me, kill through the Yuan army."

Zhu Ying shouted loudly.

Carrying his saber.

He whipped his horse fiercely.

Like an arrow leaving the string, Mist Wind charged out wildly.

"The whole army, listen to my order."

"Break out of the encirclement."

In the rear.

Hala Zhang was already riding his warhorse, looking at Zhu Ying and the Ming army ahead, and immediately gave the order with a shout.

Suddenly!

From outside this General's Mansion.

Yuan spearmen, saber soldiers, and archers charged towards Zhu Ying.

The great battle began once again!

Zhu Ying took the lead.

"Wild Dance Saber Technique."

The battle saber in his hand was sharp, slashing towards the Yuan soldiers ahead.

Saber flowers danced, and saber light rose everywhere.

Facing them, five or six Yuan soldiers were swallowed by the sharp saber light, their heads fell to the ground, and the battle armor on their bodies could not block the sharpness, being directly slashed until they fell backward, riddled with holes.

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier..."

The panel notifications were constant.

And Zhu Ying's killing intent did not stop.

Mist Wind was also very valiant; even though there were many Yuan soldiers ahead, it charged forward with all its might, trusting its master very much.

Zhu Ying's battle saber danced constantly.

With the strength of one person, he faced thousands of Yuan soldiers.

Wherever the warhorse charged.

The saber edge slashed past.

The Yuan soldiers' weapons were snapped.

Many Yuan soldiers were slashed.

The power of the cavalry charge was unstoppable.

Zhu Ying completely transformed into a god of slaughter, killing the enemy crazily.

And behind Zhu Ying.

His cavalry subordinates followed closely behind Zhu Ying, turning into a long dragon of cavalry, waving their battle sabers crazily, following their General to charge and kill.

Looking at the dense Yuan army, spears thrusting, arrows flying chaotically.

But their attack formation was forcibly slashed open to create a bloody path.

The Yuan soldiers were thrown into chaos.

The cavalry charged past, corpses were everywhere, and fresh blood dyed the entire street red.

"How can this Ming cavalry unit be so strong?"

Hala Zhang looked at his own army, which was completely unable to withstand the charge led by Zhu Ying, and his face changed greatly.

"Grand General."

"The Ximen has already been broken by the Ming army."

"If we delay any longer, we will be surrounded by the Ming army." A Yuan soldier, terrified, rode his horse to Hala Zhang's side to report.

Looking at the Ming cavalry charging ahead, Hala Zhang's expression was tense, and he also knew that if they continued to entangle, it would be a dead end.

"Cannot linger in battle."

"Pass on my order."

"The great army is to disperse and break through."

"Do not fight the Ming army to the death."

"Retreat."

Hala Zhang shouted.

"Yes."

Many Yuan generals received the order one after another.

Subsequently, the Yuan army began to disperse and break through from various streets.

No longer fighting Zhu Ying to the death.

However, Zhu Ying obviously did not care; no matter how they dispersed, the fluttering Yuan army commander-in-chief's banner had already entered Zhu Ying's eyes.

Zhu Ying waved his saber crazily, charging and killing crazily.

And his target was exactly where the Yuan army commander-in-chief's battle flag was.

In an army, the battle flag is the soul of the army; if the battle flag falls, the soul of the army dissipates, and the great army also moves with the battle flag as the center.

"Shield soldiers, gather, protect the Grand General's retreat, retreat from the street on the left side of the General's Mansion."

"Archers, block the enemy."

"Spearmen, engage in battle."

The Yuan generals under Hala Zhang ordered loudly.

Suddenly!

The Yuan soldiers surrounding them began to change formation rapidly.

Archers lined up on both sides of the street and began to shoot arrows at the charging Zhu Ying army.

Spearmen charged forward directly.

And the Yuan shield soldiers protected Hala Zhang and the other generals inside, gradually retreating towards the side of the General's Mansion.

"Want to escape?"

"Fat meat in hand, there is no reason for me not to eat it."

"The land of Liaodong was originally the land of our Huaxia; today is a war of recovery."

"If I don't slaughter you, how will you know the divine might of our Huaxia?"

Zhu Ying looked at the Yuan army's movements, a cold and stern look on his face.

"Mist Wind."

"Charge."

Zhu Ying whipped his warhorse, and the battle saber in his hand was raised.

Mist Wind let out a hiss and accelerated its charge.

Facing them.

Countless Yuan spearmen charged over.

"Wild Dance Saber Technique."

Zhu Ying waved his battle saber.

True qi was added.

The strength of over three thousand in his whole body was displayed.

Saber light was dense, the warhorse charged, and the saber edge, dense like a net, slashed down.

It was just like a bone-trimming knife; the spears of several Yuan soldiers ahead were snapped, the saber edge pushed forward, and ahead was a scene of slaughter.

One could see large swathes of Yuan soldiers being swallowed by the saber light.

Large numbers were killed or injured.

Mist Wind cooperated tacitly, only caring about charging forward with all its might, while Zhu Ying was waving his saber with all his might.

Like a meat grinder, like a god of slaughter, no one could stop him.

"General's divine might."

"The General is the reincarnation of the Overlord of Western Chu, no one can match him."

"Swear to follow the General to the death."

"Kill!"

Zhang Wu and Wei Quan roared excitedly.

They led the cavalry to follow closely, their morale high, waving their sabers to slash the enemy.

In the vanguard, their General had killed his way out, and what they had to do was to follow and charge with all their might, waving their sabers to slash the enemy with all their might.

The cavalry chiseled through.

The Yuan army's defensive line was easily torn open.

Although the spearmen sent by the Yuan generals restrained the power of the cavalry, facing the valiant and invincible Zhu Ying, their attack formation collapsed.

Very quickly.

Zhu Ying killed his way to the front of the shield formation of the shield soldiers covering Hala Zhang's retreat.

"Protect the Grand General."

The Yuan general leading the spearmen and archers outside the shield formation saw Zhu Ying charging over and shouted in a panic.

Suddenly.

The surrounding archers shot arrows chaotically at Zhu Ying, who was only a dozen steps away.

Zhu Ying was not panicked at all.

He waved his battle saber, the saber edge as fast as lightning.

The arrows shooting at him were all slashed down by the battle saber; Mist Wind gathered its momentum and rushed forward, quickly reaching the front of the archers.

"Slash!"

Zhu Ying shouted violently.

The saber edge swept past.

"Ah... ah..."

Many Yuan soldiers let out screams, their bodies severed by the battle saber, their heads severed; it was extremely tragic.

And Zhu Ying's gaze stared at the shield formation ahead, not giving the Yuan archers any chance to set up defense again.

Mist Wind charged forward.

"Die."

One saber slashed out.

That commanding Yuan general hurriedly raised his saber to meet the attack.

But the battle saber had not yet been raised.

With a crack.

His head fell to the ground.

"Killed a Northern Yuan Myriarch, picked up 50 points of all attributes, picked up 100 days of lifespan," the panel notified.

"How can the Ming army have such a valiant person?"

Inside the shield formation.

Hala Zhang, who was retreating rapidly, turned his head and saw Zhu Ying's ferocity, and his face changed greatly.

His army of ten thousand, charging with all their might, could not block the offensive edge of this Ming army.

Especially that Ming general riding the black horse, who was even more valiant and invincible.

"That... that seems to be the precious steed of Prince Yun'an."

"Could he be..."

Looking at the fierce Zhu Ying, Hala Zhang suddenly thought of something: "He is the Ming battle general, Zhu Ying."

After Man Jier died.

The news had already spread with the fleeing army.

Prince Yun'an died at the hands of the Ming general Zhu Ying.

"Retreat."

"Retreat."

Hala Zhang felt fear in his heart, looked at the street on the side, and rode his horse to escape.

The surrounding guard cavalry also followed closely.

And the shield soldiers ahead blocked for him.

But at this moment!

West of the General's Mansion.

Marquis Lan Yu led a large number of Ming soldiers to kill their way into the city.

Looking at the fleeing Yuan soldiers ahead, Marquis Lan Yu's eyes revealed excitement.

Especially looking at the Yuan army commander-in-chief's battle flag surging towards the east, Marquis Lan Yu's eyes were even more excited.

This indicated that Hala Zhang had not escaped.

"Brothers."

"Ahead is the Kaiyuan City General's Mansion; take the General's Mansion, take Hala Zhang, and it will be the first merit."

"Follow me and kill."

Marquis Lan Yu roared excitedly.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Countless Ming soldiers roared, waving their battle sabers, holding spears to charge and kill.

And at this moment.

Zhu Ying had already charged to the front of the Yuan army's shield formation.

The shield formation was dense.

On top of it, there were spears protruding.

It seemed difficult to break.

But Zhu Ying's momentum did not stop; the moment he approached.

"Accumulated Power Saber Slash."

All his strength was gathered, and true qi was added.

The moment he approached the shield.

The battle saber slashed down with a roar.

The saber edge slashed onto the dense shield formation ahead.

With a boom!

Sparks flew everywhere!

"Ah!!"

A burst of painful screams.

This constructed shield formation shattered instantly, many shields also shattered in an instant; under the addition of true qi, the saber qi exploded, and a dozen Yuan soldiers holding shields were instantly sent flying, being instantly suppressed and killed.

This shield formation was just like a block of tofu, without any defensive power.

The surrounding Yuan soldiers looked on in astonishment, looking at the valiant and invincible Zhu Ying, filled with terror and fear.

"Is he still human?"

"How can the Ming army have such a fierce battle general?"

"Could it be that our Great Yuan really cannot contend with the Ming Kingdom?"

"..."

Many Yuan soldiers looked at Zhu Ying, completely losing their will to fight, only a look of fear remaining.

But their fear was not cared about by Zhu Ying; at this moment, his gaze was still fixed tightly on the fleeing Hala Zhang.

At this moment.

Hala Zhang was at least a hundred steps away from Zhu Ying, and there were still many Yuan soldiers blocking Zhu Ying's front; it was very difficult to catch up to him.

"If I let you escape, then the great merit will fly away."

Zhu Ying stared at Hala Zhang, who was rapidly riding his horse to escape under the battle flag, directly reined in Mist Wind, then placed his battle saber horizontally, held the Treasure Carving Bow in his hand, and his right hand swept from behind; an arrow was already placed on the bowstring of the Treasure Carving Bow.

Under Zhu Ying's powerful strength, the bowstring was pulled full, and true qi was added to the sharp arrow.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

"Retreat towards the Dongmen."

"Spearmen, open the way."

Hala Zhang shouted loudly.

From time to time, he turned his head to look at the situation behind.

But at this time!

The moment Hala Zhang turned his head, through the layers of gaps, the fierce and valiant Zhu Ying was currently holding a bow and arrow, his cold and sharp gaze filled with killing intent seeming to be looking at him.

This gaze made Hala Zhang feel cold all over.

And on the other side.

Marquis Lan Yu led the great army to attack towards Hala Zhang's direction with all his might, and a large number of Ming soldiers pursued Hala Zhang.

At this moment.

The great army commanded by Marquis Lan Yu was almost on the same street as the one commanded by Zhu Ying, one on the left and one on the right, while Hala Zhang was in the middle, fleeing towards a street.

"Brothers."

"Kill."

"Hala Zhang is right ahead."

Marquis Lan Yu roared; at this moment, he had already seen Hala Zhang's wretched fleeing figure, but because there were many Yuan soldiers obstructing, Marquis Lan Yu did not discover that there was another Ming army attacking on the other side.

"Slaying Hala Zhang is the great merit of breaking Kaiyuan City this time."

"This battle merit, I must seize it." Marquis Lan Yu's heart was filled with ambition.

Because of Zhu Ying's existence.

The first merit of Jincheng had nothing to do with him, but this battle merit still belonged to Fu Youde, after all, Zhu Ying was a general under his command, and it was also under his command that Jincheng was broken.

To reshape battle merit and move towards being a Duke, this battle merit had to be competed for.

But at this moment.

"Die!"

Zhu Ying shouted coldly in his heart.

Bang!

The bowstring trembled violently.

Whoosh!

The sharp arrow broke through the air and shot towards Hala Zhang in an instant.

The arrow swept over the heads of countless Yuan soldiers.

And shot through the gaps of many Yuan soldiers.

"Not good."

"Protect the Grand General."

One of Hala Zhang's personal guards discovered the rapidly approaching arrow and hurriedly rushed up to block the arrow.

Several personal guards also immediately ran over around Hala Zhang.

Puchi!!

A sound of armor being pierced.

The arrow directly pierced through this personal guard who was blocking the arrow, but the power of the arrow did not diminish.

Following closely.

It pierced through three or four more personal guards in succession.

Hala Zhang looked in terror at the arrow piercing through the bodies of his personal guards and shooting directly at him.

"No."

Hala Zhang shouted in despair.

Puchi!

The arrow instantly pierced through Hala Zhang's heart.

"How... how can there be such... such force..."

Hala Zhang lowered his head and looked at the sharp arrow piercing through his heart, his face filled with pain, his eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.

His body fell straight down from the warhorse.

It seemed.

At the moment of death, he could not figure out why this arrow had such great power, piercing through his four personal guards, not only piercing the body but also breaking the armor.

What kind of power was this, what kind of divine bow could achieve this?

And in the west.

"Hala Zhang was shot and fell from his horse."

Marquis Lan Yu had been staring tightly at Hala Zhang's location, running rapidly.

When he saw the moment Hala Zhang fell from his horse, his face was filled with ecstasy.

"Who shot and killed Hala Zhang?"

"Record a great merit."

Marquis Lan Yu shouted excitedly.

But he did not know.

This arrow was not shot by his subordinates.

Hearing Marquis Lan Yu's roar, the soldiers and generals under his command were all blank-faced.

"Killed the Northern Yuan commander-in-chief 【Hala Zhang】, picked up 【150】 points of all attributes, rewarded with one First Rank treasure chest," the panel notified.

The next moment.

"Cavalry battalion soldiers, listen to my order."

"Follow me and kill."

"Slaughter these Yuan soldiers, kill as many as you can."

After Zhu Ying solved Hala Zhang with one arrow, he immediately put away the Treasure Carving Bow and raised the Tiger-Headed Great Saber again.

Once the horse moved.

He continued to charge and kill.

"Swear to follow the General to the death."

"Kill!!"

Thousands of cavalry soldiers shouted, their killing intent shaking the city.

And at this time!

Marquis Lan Yu was shocked.
