The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 67 Bait
Only a part of the army can change direction to deal with the crisis.

Just like when a herd of cattle encounters a crisis, they constantly point their horns outward and move their positions to respond to the direction of each crisis.

Kublai Khan is the commander-in-chief of the army and cannot be moved lightly.

He was the only one who could lead the soldiers to stop Zhu Houzhao.

"Zhu Houzhao was able to kill Huang Taiji in battle. The strength of him and his Wudi Dragon Riders was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

You are not the commander-in-chief of the army and can only mobilize a part of the military force. I am afraid you are no match for them.

So remember, try the speed of the Wudi Dragon Rider first, and don't collide with it head-on." Kublai Khan said in a calm and cautious tone.

"I understand." Si Hanfei nodded and quickly moved to the left.

Kublai Khan immediately issued a series of military orders, directing the army's movements.

Just as the two armies were changing, dozens of miles away.

More than thirty figures were also confronting each other.

"The Demon Sect, Meng Chixing." The old man stood in front of Zhu Wusi and the others, looking at the figure opposite him who looked like a demon, and said solemnly.

"Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know who you are?" Meng Chixing frowned slightly, looking at this extremely unfamiliar old man.

I sighed in my heart, the Ming Dynasty’s heritage is indeed too profound.

You never know when a strong man will appear from nowhere.

For example, there is no information about the person in front of us, the Mongols.

"After all, they are enemies, so it's better not to talk about it." The old man said coldly.

"This is a pity." Meng Chixing sighed and said calmly.

The old man felt even more solemn.

It is indeed different from Meng Chixing after the battle with Chuan Ying.

Judging from his changed personality, his strength is probably even stronger.

Thinking in his mind, he said without any hesitation: "Go ahead."

"Please." Meng Chixing extended his hand and invited.

The two energies had already locked onto each other, and the next moment both became extremely powerful.

One is like a demon, and although he has a peaceful face, he is more terrifying.

One is like water, seemingly calm but actually turbulent.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, and the punches and palms collided without any fancy moves.

The void within a radius of several hundred feet was immediately in chaos, and the roar was deafening.

The power of heaven and earth was also divided into two halves and collided with each other.

The people following the two men retreated again.

After looking at each other for a few times, they focused their attention on each other.

"The Khan's Imperial Preceptor Danba, Taoist Baisun, and Toudao Huogong, an Imperial Preceptor and two scums of the Central Plains martial arts world.

It's just right to eradicate them today." Zhu Ye looked at the three figures headed by the other side, and said with a hint of murderous intent.

"Haha, how shameless! Even Zhang Sanfeng in the past couldn't do anything to us, so how can you do that?" The Taoist with a cold aura sneered.

"If Master Zhang were here, would you dare to say that?" Zhu Wusi said disdainfully.

"What's the point of saying it? No matter you or Zhang Sanfeng, what can you do to me?" The red-haired fire-working monk laughed.

"Then let's give it a try. Li Chimei is not here, so I can use the whip you offer as a sacrifice." Xu Ruowu spoke first and was the first to take action. His long whip struck Huogong Toudao like lightning.

"I'm going to beat you to death." The fire monk shouted violently.

As soon as the two of them started fighting, the situation became completely chaotic.

"Baisun, let me test your current quality." Wang Zhi said calmly.

"Eunuch, who are you?" Taoist Baisun asked doubtfully.

"If you can survive from this guy, you will know." A cold light flashed in Wang Zhi's eyes.

In an instant, the figure disappeared.

Taoist Baisun felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and a chilly aura spread out like a cold wave.

Zhu Wusi and Zhu Ye looked at each other and focused their attention on Danba, without any carelessness.

A powerful Tibetan Buddhist who was personally recommended by the Mongol Emperor's tutor, Bashiba.

In tacit understanding, the two of them attacked him together.

Danba was not afraid at all. He smiled calmly and went to meet the two men.

"boom!!!"

Two grandmasters at the highest level and seven grandmasters at the highest level fought each other, and the world was thrown into complete chaos.

They are like giants, destroying everything at will.

The remaining twenty or so people in the innate realm from both sides looked at each other in awe, retreated far away, and started fighting.

The realm of the innate master is much lower than that of the grand master.

But if we rely on numbers, we can still contain the powerful grandmasters.

Therefore, if they decide the winner first, it may lead to a shift in the outcome of the battle.

A fight broke out here.

The army dozens of miles away had not yet started the real fighting.

Zhu Houzhao led Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry to circle around the Mongol army at a moderate speed.

From the left side, to the back side.

Kublai Khan and Si Hanfei had no choice but to move to the back.

"Brother Wang, we can't go on like this. The Wudi Dragon Riders are extremely fast and strong, and can run away at any time.

Even if we have to pay a certain price, we will do it at all costs.

I will lead the troops to attack proactively." Si Hanfei said in a deep voice.

Kublai Khan only hesitated for two breaths, then nodded and said, "My brother is right, we should fight quickly and decisively, even if it means heavy losses.

My brother, you personally lead 10,000 light cavalry and take the initiative to attack.

If Zhu Houzhao runs away, you should chase him and consume the horsepower of Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders.

If he doesn't run away, there's no need to fight him to the death. It doesn't matter if he disperses the 10,000 light cavalry.

I'm right behind you."

"Yes." Si Hanfei replied. He knew that in this move, he and the 10,000 light cavalry were just a bait.

They lured Zhu Houzhao into fighting with them, without ever thinking of winning.

It didn't matter even if these 10,000 light cavalry suffered heavy losses, because once Zhu Houzhao accepted the battle and dispersed the 10,000 light cavalry, he would face the 90,000 iron cavalry led by Kublai Khan himself.

If Zhu Houzhao still doesn't take the bait, it's okay.

Ten thousand cavalrymen rushed up to chase the enemy.

In terms of a war of attrition, they have 100,000 cavalrymen and the enemy has only more than 10,000 people, so they will definitely win.

As long as you don't run too far, it's fine.

This strategy could only work if he and Kublai Khan personally led the troops as bait.

Because if it were any other general, even if he brought 10,000 cavalrymen, with the strength of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, Zhu Houzhao only needed to lead 1,000 or 2,000 people to easily deal with them, and it would only take a single fight.

Then he evacuated easily with one or two thousand people.

The difficulty of evacuating one or two thousand people is completely different from that of evacuating more than ten thousand people.

When two armies are at war, sometimes just a tiny difference in time can determine victory or defeat.

This is also the importance of the personal strength of a general.

The same reason applies why they did not send out several large armies at the same time to try to encircle Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry.

The other armies could not stop the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry led by Zhu Houzhao. They would be broken through by their unstoppable force and could not be surrounded.

As for why he didn't let the more powerful Kublai Khan be the bait and instead directly engage in a decisive battle with Zhu Houzhao.

The two of them tacitly did not raise this issue.

How long has it been since Huang Taiji died?
