The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 53 A real man...

Under the influence of the terrifying military force, the endless power of heaven and earth seemed like the mighty power of heaven, roaring down.

"boom!"

The golden streak was dozens of feet long and swept across.

Wherever it goes, it is irresistible.

"what!!"

Screams and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry marched past.

The earth trembled, and everything was shattered under the iron cavalry.

He easily killed his way through the tribe, and seeing that only the wailing, the fleeing old, weak, women and children were left, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were still clear, and his expression did not change at all.

"Set it on fire. Burn it all."

"Yes."

A fire broke out, and the ruined tribe began to burn fiercely.

The old, weak, women and children cried even more miserably.

Zhu Houzhao ignored them. After simply packing up the spoils, he left with Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry.

In the afternoon, they encountered a small town and three thousand Jin Dynasty Jiannu cavalrymen.

Three thousand cavalrymen were slaughtered.

Then they broke into the city and killed all the men.

After driving the elderly, the weak, women and children out of the city, they set the city on fire.

night.

"Your Highness, why did you leave behind those old, weak, women and children?" Wang Shouren asked with some curiosity in his tone.

"How can a real man kill the old, the weak, women and children?" Zhu Houzhao said proudly.

"If you burn down their houses, I'm afraid their final outcome will not be much better, even if they don't die." Wang Shouren sighed lightly.

"Hmph, how can a real man be merciful to his enemy? Old Wang, you are too soft." Zhu Houzhao said disdainfully.

Wang Shouren smiled and bowed: "Your Highness is right. I understand."

Nine months and four days.

Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders encountered two cities and a nomadic tribe.

Kill all the men and burn all the supplies.

They also encountered a group of about 4,000 cavalrymen, and killed them all.

By evening, Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry was still more than 350 miles away from Shengjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

Nine months, five days.

We encountered two small towns and no longer encountered nomadic tribes or the rest of the Jiannu army.

People in the two small towns were also fleeing.

Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry charged forward, burned two small cities, and then paid no further attention.

At night, they were still more than 200 miles away from Shengjing, the capital of the Jiannu Empire.

Today, the speed of Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders began to slow down in order to recuperate their physical strength and horsepower.

"Your Highness, it seems that the Jiannu have decided to fight us to the death." Wang Shouren said firmly.

"I'm worried that they will run away." Zhu Houzhao laughed.

"The core of Jiannu is the 80,000 Jurchen Eight Banners, but these Eight Banners are soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime. Some of them are stationed in various places. If we want to gather all of them in September, it will take at least six days with Jiannu's ability.

There are only three days left for them to receive the news, and if tomorrow is included, that’s four days at most.

In addition, we must eliminate those we killed and drive out those who were stationed in Ming City and other places.

The Jiannu should be able to gather about 40,000 to 50,000 Jurchen Eight Banners and 20,000 foreign Eight Banners to fight us to the death." Wang Shouren said calmly.

There is a certainty in his tone that makes people feel convinced.

"Only about 70,000 people are no match for me. The advantage is mine." Zhu Houzhao said as confidently and arrogantly as ever.

Wang Shouren smiled without saying anything, his eyes full of confidence.

The Jiannu's vanguard will arrive tomorrow. I hope they won't let us down.

"Your Highness, the decisive battle is about to begin, and we have to leave the barracks." At this time, Zhu Wusi said in a deep voice.

Ordinary warriors don't want to stay in the military camp at all, as it will only weaken and suppress their strength.

Even Zhu Wusi, Wang Shouren and others were no exception at this time.

Because they are not part of the Wu Emperor's Dragon Riders, they cannot integrate in.

"Uncle Thirteen and uncle, you go ahead and just act according to circumstances." Zhu Houzhao said with trust.

"Yes." Zhu Wusi and Zhu Ye responded. They left the Wu Emperor Dragon Cavalry Camp with a group of Jinyiwei and martial arts masters, and followed a few miles away.

The Jin Kingdom established the Nu in Shengjing City.

It's already night, but it's still quite lively here.

"What's the matter?" Huang Taiji asked in a serious tone.

“The leaders of each banner have been trying their best to gather the Eight Banners in the past few days, and have now gathered more than 30,000 people.

We should be able to add more than 10,000 people tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, it will be enough to gather more than 50,000 of our Jurchen Eight Banners." Dorgon said.

"Add the other 20,000 Eight Banners of foreign races, and it will be enough." Huang Taiji clenched his hands, with murderous aura overflowing.

He glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice: "It has been confirmed that the one who led the troops to attack our Great Jin this time is the Ming Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao.

He personally led 10,000 Martial Emperor Dragon Riders to attack.

Until now, he has no intention of retreating. It seems that he still wants to destroy our Great Jin.

Just relying on his mere 10,000 cavalrymen?
Arrogant and ridiculous.

This time, we will teach him a hard lesson and do our best to keep him in our Dajin."

"Whoo!"

Everyone in the hall responded with murderous intent.

"Dorgon, Dodo, you will lead the two white flags as the vanguard tomorrow.

Remember, you don't have to fight Zhu Houzhao, just keep an eye on him and keep him company, and don't let him escape." Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon and ordered.

"Yes." Dorgon and Duoduo saluted and responded.

This matter has been determined long ago.

The Wu Emperor's Dragon Cavalry was very powerful, and Zhu Houzhao had apparently broken through to the level of Grand Master.

In this case, the only two great masters, Huang Taiji and Dorgon, could lead the troops to entangle Zhu Houzhao.

Neither can anyone else.

Just like the two previous attempts, there was no resistance at all.

If it weren't for waiting for the Eight Banners to gather, the vanguard would have set off long ago.

It just means that the timing of the national selection is very good.

Their Great Jin Dynasty was a mixture of farming and nomadic life. This was the time to prepare for the busy farming season, and most of the Eight Banners of the Jurchens were civilians.

It takes time to gather troops.

Huang Taiji looked towards the night in the southeast, his eyes filled with solemnity.

The ancestor had been gone for two days, but there was still no movement.

It seems that Zhu Houzhao was indeed accompanied by a person of heavenly level.

It's difficult to kill him or keep him.

It would be better to destroy him directly on the battlefield to eliminate future troubles.

Late night, Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry camp.

Suddenly, a figure walked out from the shadows.

He was wearing ordinary robes, with an old face, fair complexion and no beard. It was Duke Zheng.

He looked into the distance and smiled faintly.

"It's still here."

He glanced at the central tent again, and the next moment, his figure disappeared.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao, who was practicing, raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes and thought about it, then did nothing and continued to practice.

Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry camp is more than a hundred miles away.

Suddenly, the night grew darker and quieter.

At some point, two figures appeared in mid-air, facing each other from a distance.

One of them was Duke Zheng.

The other one was wearing a gray-brown robe, an icy mask, and a long braid behind his back. The cold aura on his body made the surrounding world seem to be covered in ice and snow.

"Zheng He, you are so brave that you bring troops to my territory. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" The masked figure's strange voice sounded, with a hint of madness and indifference that looked down on everything.

"In a one-on-one fight, I may not be your opponent, but you can't kill me.

And who made me a Ming Dynasty person?
Emperor Shitian, if you personally take action against my Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty.

I promise that you will pray that you will never be found again." Duke Zheng said slowly and calmly.

In an instant, the surrounding sky and earth became colder.
