The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 52 Becoming Stronger
Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry, wearing armor, rushed through the scattered arrows and entered Qulin City.

Without Zhu Houzhao's further action, a simple massacre began.

The screams echoed in this not-so-large military fortress.

More than two hours later.

"Your Highness, everything is similar to the information we obtained.

The one stationed here was Aobai, a famous warrior of the Jiannu.

He led ten Niulu of the Bordered Yellow Banner, three thousand men, and three thousand other soldiers, a total of six thousand people.

Now they have all been killed.

Sixty-five of our soldiers were wounded, and no one was killed.”

“Although Shen Hou and his men personally took action, they could only kill the Jiannu who delivered the message, but could not do anything to the Jiannu’s messenger eagle.

Our actions can no longer be concealed."

Wang Shouren, who is in charge of document statistics, reported.

When Zhu Houzhao heard that no one was killed, he showed some joy between his brows, but then he curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What a warrior, he is vulnerable.

If you can’t hide it, then don’t hide it.”

Then he looked at Mu Kun and asked, "Have you packed everything?"

"We have replenished two days' worth of military rations and selected 1,500 excellent war horses. We are ready to set off at any time." Mu Kun understood and said.

"Okay, let's go immediately.

Pay attention to those with minor injuries, and hand over the seriously injured to the Jinyiwei, who will take them back to Gansu Town and provide them with full treatment.

Burn this place down before you leave." Zhu Houzhao said decisively.

"Yes." Mu Kun replied.

A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry drove out of Qulin City, which had already begun to smoke, and continued to head straight for Shengjing.

As the army marched away, Qulin City became a sea of ​​fire.

Against the backdrop of the sea of ​​fire, the Wu Emperor Dragon Rider, who had just experienced a massacre, was filled with a much stronger murderous aura.

The military force also became stronger.

The news of the burning of Qulin City could not be concealed from the countless Jiannu spies in all directions.

The news spread to Shengjing, as well as the surrounding cities and tribes at the fastest speed.

at dusk.

A carrier eagle flew into Shengjing City.

Immediately, the city was put into action and martial law was imposed throughout the city.

In the core palace.

"Emperor Wu Longqi, how dare you to attack our Great Jin!"

"We must destroy this Martial Emperor Dragon Rider."

"That's right, no one can be spared."

····
More than ten figures were filled with anger and murderous intent.

“Well, it’s not entirely clear yet.

Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry was a 10,000-strong cavalry unit of the Crown Prince of Ming. It was said that it was built for the Crown Prince by Emperor Hongzhi at great expense.

Now judging from the message sent by Oboi, his strength may be even stronger than we expected.

This cavalry unit went straight to the city of Qulin, but we didn't receive any news at all. It was obvious that the Ming State came prepared, and might have even planned carefully for a long time.

The Ming Kingdom is invading this time, and this battle may be another one that determines the survival of our Great Jin. "Huang Taiji raised his hand to stop everyone's voices, and said in a serious tone.

The faces of the dozen or so figures present all darkened, and they subconsciously recalled the battle more than 30 years ago that almost led to the extinction of their clan.

Under Chenghua's sweeping campaign, their lineage was nearly wiped out.

How miserable they were then.

In an instant, the murderous aura became more intense.

"We are no longer in the same situation as we were more than 30 years ago. This time, we must kill the so-called Wudi Dragon Riders and teach the Ming Kingdom a severe lesson."

"Yes, our current strength is far greater than it was more than 30 years ago, but the strength of the Ming Kingdom is declining. Kill them and invade the Ming Kingdom."·····
Another intense sound.

"What we should determine now is who is the commander of this cavalry?" Dorgon said calmly.

The people present were not fools either, and their eyes flickered when they heard the words.

"That's right." Huang Taiji's tone condensed, and he said slowly: "According to intelligence, the Ming crown prince Zhu Houzhao has been staying with this cavalry for several years.

Who else in the Ming Dynasty can lead this cavalry to attack the Great Jin?"

"Could it be that it is the little prince of the Ming Dynasty! Isn't he only thirteen years old now?" Someone said in a low voice with some doubt.

Including Huang Taiji and Dorgon, everyone was shocked and confused.

At this time, pieces of news reached Shengjing one after another, making Huang Taiji and others look gloomy.

"The Ming cavalry broke through Qulin City in a short time."

"Including the Yellow Banner, there are 6,000 troops in total. I'm afraid they will be wiped out."

'Qu Lin was burned!'

"The Ming cavalry is heading straight for Shengjing!"

····
Huang Taiji and others gathered until late at night, waiting for news to come, their faces becoming increasingly ugly.

Another round of discussion.

Huang Taiji stood up and said coldly: "Now no matter who is leading this cavalry, the Ming Kingdom has launched a life-and-death battle against our Great Jin.

Then we have no choice but to fight and slaughter them all."

"At the Sticking Pole Division, mobilize all your forces and keep a close eye on this cavalry. I want to know their every move.

Everyone, immediately summon the Eight Banners to fight against this cavalry.

In addition, let the Eight Banners of Yi also try their best to gather and rush to Quming City for support and guard against attacks from the direction of Jiayu Pass."

"Yes." Everyone saluted and responded.

They dispersed and took action in the dark.

"Notify the Mongols. Don't they want to cooperate? Okay.

Then let them take the opportunity to attack the Ming Kingdom." When Huang Taiji was the only one left, he pondered for a moment and issued an order.

He then wrote two notes himself.

After a while, two Saker Falcons soared into the sky, one flying to the north and the other flying to the west.

The Saker Falcon flew to the north and landed on a snowy mountain less than two hours later.

At the foot of the snowy mountain, in the seemingly endless layer of ice, a figure wearing an ice mask and with braids tied behind his back suddenly opened his eyes.

After a few breaths, a strange angry sound was heard.

"The Ming Kingdom is going too far."

Soon, two figures led dozens of people out of this ice and snow city and quickly headed towards Shengjing.

At the same time, the news that the Jin Kingdom's Qulin City was captured by the Ming army could not be hidden from spies from various countries for long.

Each piece of news is sent to various countries at the fastest speed.

Zhu Houzhao and others knew that they would soon become the focus of attention of all countries in the world.

Wang Shouren and others were under great pressure from this.

Zhu Houzhao only felt more and more excited.

Since he started the expedition, his strength has improved at an increasingly rapid pace.

After conquering Qulin City, his spirits and will were extremely high, and with the foundation built by the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi, he quickly and unscrupulously absorbed the power of heaven and earth, and directly advanced more than two hundred points to the second level of the Tianming Shenwu Canon.

He could also feel that after the massacre in Qulin City, his Emperor Wu Dragon Rider was also getting stronger.

In this battle, he must destroy the Jiannu and make the world know him.

"Kill~!"

On September 3, looking at a tribe of more than 10,000 people in front of him, Zhu Houzhao swung his spear without hesitation and still took the lead.
