The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 72 The Horror of Zhu Houzhao

Just when Zhu Houzhao was laughing and having a relaxed atmosphere.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the Mongol army and the central tent.

Kublai Khan sat in the main seat, with Meng Chixing on his left and right, Si Hanfei, who had been treated for his serious injury but was still weak, and Danba, the Khan's imperial preceptor.

There are only these four people in the account.

"Do you have anything to say about today's battle?" Kublai Khan glanced at the three of them and said with a very solemn expression.

Si Hanfei and Danba both looked at Meng Chixing and signaled him to speak first.

This is respect for strength.

Meng Chixing did not show any humility and said calmly: "Today I will lead the people to fight against the strong men of the Ming Kingdom.

As for the leader, I have no information about him and he is a very unfamiliar person to me.

From Zhu Wusi's attitude and my probing, I can tell that he is a member of the Zhu royal family.

The power of Xiu Shui Xing is quite magical.

Don't underestimate him, and carefully investigate his true identity."

Kublai Khan and Si Hanfei both nodded.

He is a great master who is extremely powerful and a member of the Zhu royal family. It is not excessive to pay too much attention to him.

It is necessary to find out the detailed information so as to make targeted preparations and plans for future use.

"The man wearing a mask and with powerful true energy should also be a member of the Zhu royal family. Let's investigate it together." Meng Chixing continued.

After that, he talked about the situations of those grand masters in detail. Meng Chixing stopped and the atmosphere became even more depressing.

Because of the various situations revealed in this battle.

"Brother Wang, Demon Sect, and National Master, our biggest defeat in today's battle was that we underestimated Zhu Houzhao and the Emperor Wu Dragon Riders." Si Hanfei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The other three did not speak, which also indicated their agreement.

“From now on, we must treat the Wudi Dragon Cavalry as the Qiexue Army.

And Zhu Houzhao should also be treated as a great master of the ultimate realm." Si Hanfei continued in a very serious tone.

Meng Chixing and Danba, who had not personally experienced the large-scale military battle during the day, could not help but be shocked.

Treat them as the Qiexue Army!

There is never a shortage of elite troops in the armies of all countries in the world.

The Thirteen Wings led by Genghis Khan himself were the best among them. With the same number of people, no army dared to say that it could defeat the Thirteen Wings.

The core of the Thirteen Wings is the Qiexue Army.

Then, he is implicitly known as the strongest in the world.

It was an army of only 10,000 people, but extremely terrifying and powerful.

Its strength and reputation have already intimidated other countries with countless enemy heads.

How could the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, which had only been established for a few years, be compared with the Qiexue Army?
Even though they knew Si Hanfei couldn't be exaggerating, Meng Chixing and the others couldn't help but feel a little bit of disbelief.

There is also Zhu Houzhao.

He is only thirteen years old this year, but he is treated as a grandmaster and a powerful person!
this····

Si Hanfei glanced at Kublai Khan, and seeing that he did not refute, he said solemnly: "Demon Sect, Imperial Master, after today's battle, we have finally understood this Wudi Dragon Riders thoroughly.

Their level of eliteness is in no way inferior to that of the Qiexue Army.

And I suspect that everyone in Emperor Wu’s Dragon Riders practices martial arts.

Compared with the Qiexue Army, Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry is indeed a little more immature. After all, they have experienced far fewer killings and battles than the Qiexue Army.

But their strength may not be much worse than that of the Qiexue Army."

"Everyone is practicing martial arts! Add to that the military pay of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, is Zhu Youtang crazy? How many years can he last?" Meng Chixing said in surprise.

"No matter how many years he can hold on, the Emperor Wu Dragon Cavalry is right in front of us." Si Hanfei said in a serious tone.

After a pause, he continued, "Zhu Houzhao's strength has definitely reached the peak of the Grandmaster level, and even more than that, it has surpassed all the Grandmasters I have ever seen.

Even the magician in his time was not as good as him.

And the most terrifying thing about him is his extremely deep foundation."

“Mingshen’s true essence is one of the most domineering true essences in the world, but he seems to have no pressure to circulate his true essence at all. He attacks with all his strength without restraint, almost without stopping.

I know why Dorgon and Huang Taiji were killed so easily by him.

He attacked too fast and too quickly.

As long as you are not much stronger than him, you will not be able to resist him at all and will be defeated by his continuous full-strength attacks.

In the realm of Grand Master, there is absolutely no one who can be his opponent.

Even a Grandmaster would not be able to take him down so easily."

Meng Chixing and Danba both felt incredible.

How could Zhu Houzhao cultivate such strength at the age of thirteen?
Just a gifted talent?

“That’s right, today I fought Zhu Houzhao sixteen times in a row, and although he was repelled by me repeatedly, he remained unscathed.

The depth of its roots is incredible.

Even if it's me, it will take some time to take him down." Kublai Khan spoke, completely dispelling the doubts in the hearts of Meng Chixing and the others.

"What's even more terrifying is..." Kublai Khan's eyes narrowed, and the coldness in his tone became more intense: "Zhu Houzhao's deep foundation, combined with Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders, is terrifying."

The three of them understood immediately.

Military power affects the power of heaven and earth, and it is stressful for generals to control the power of heaven and earth.

Zhu Houzhao was able to more perfectly exert the power of military force and heaven and earth.

Add to that the small but extremely powerful Emperor Wu Dragon Riders, and you can imagine how terrifying they are just by thinking about them.

The defeat of the Mongols today was due to these terrible things that they did not understand before.

After a few moments of silence, Meng Chixing broke the silence by saying, "According to the spies, Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders entered Gansu Town overnight.

"Relying on the advantage of the city, plus tens of thousands of border troops, if led by Zhu Houzhao, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do anything to him."

Everyone knows about this, and it is also the biggest reason for silence.

What should I do next?
Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders were more powerful than expected, and with Gansu Town in their hands, it was difficult to do anything to them. Moreover, the weather was getting colder and colder.

They can influence some celestial phenomena and prevent temporary heavy snow, but they cannot stop it all the time.

In other words, they don’t have much time.

"If we give up now, we will allow Zhu Houzhao to continue to grow. One day, he will become the biggest enemy of the Mongols." Si Hanfei spoke with a firm tone.

Seeing that the three did not speak for a while, he continued: "Zhu Houzhao is a young and arrogant man. He defeated us today. It is not difficult to lead him out of the city.

We still have a chance.

At least we must severely injure the Emperor Dragon Rider and not let his path be so smooth. "

"My brother is right." Kublai Khan's firm voice sounded, "We must not give up, we still have a chance.

But we can't just keep on insisting on this stalemate.

Ten days is the limit. If after ten days, we still cannot defeat Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry, then we will withdraw our troops.”

The other three had no objection, so it was decided.

Gansu town.

After the banquet, Zhu Houzhao began to practice in the best room in the mansion.

The power of heaven and earth surged into his body like a wave and turned into true energy of the spirit. His aura grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It didn't stop until dawn.

Until almost noon.

Zhu Houzhao just stopped and looked at Tianfu with a happy expression.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Third Level (1230/30000)

The third level of Mingshen Wudian (not yet started: 20/20000)

Yesterday's battle completed the last one thousand points of the second level of the Mingshen Martial Canon.

The peak state of the Grand Master, there is no further advancement.

The only way is to transform again and reach the ultimate state of Grand Master.

Just now, Zhu Houzhao tried to practice the third level of Mingshenwudian.

Looking at the number of 20,000, he couldn't help but curl his lips. It was a lot.

How long will this take?

I left the room feeling a little depressed.

After a while, Li Guang, Zhang Fengfu and others came to report that the Mongolian army was approaching Gansu Town.

In the afternoon, the Mongol army stopped thirty miles away from Gansu Town.

A cavalryman arrived at the foot of the city and shouted, "My Great Khan has a message for you, Ming Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao, your small victory yesterday was just a fluke.

Tomorrow, do you dare to go out of the city and fight again?"

After receiving the news, Zhu Houzhao immediately climbed up to the city wall.

He said proudly: "Let Kublai Khan clean his neck and wait to see how the Japanese prince will deal with him tomorrow."

The cavalryman did not answer and turned away.

"Hahaha, Kublai Khan wants to die, and this prince will help him." Zhu Houzhao laughed confidently.

Behind him were the helpless Zhu Wusi, Zhu Hui and others.

Kublai Khan sent people to challenge him to a fight, and they tried to persuade the Crown Prince (His Royal Highness), but it was useless.

It was obvious that as long as they stayed in the city, the Mongols would be unable to do anything to them.

We also won a battle yesterday. If the stalemate lasted until the Mongols retreated, the Ming Dynasty would be victorious.

But the Crown Prince (Your Highness) insisted on accepting the challenge.

They can't persuade him at all.

There is no choice but to cooperate.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao led the restored Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry and five thousand slave soldiers out of the city.

They confronted the Mongol army more than 20 miles outside Gansu Town.

"Zhu Houzhao, do you dare to fight our army in an open battle?
Your escape yesterday was not heroic and will be laughed at by the world," Kublai Khan shouted.

"Kublai Khan, you are indeed a shameless fool. You have 100,000 men against my 10,000 men, using your numbers to bully the minority. And you still dare to say that this is fair and square?

If you have the ability, lead 10,000 men and let’s fight.

You, a useless idiot and stupid dog, certainly wouldn't dare.

But even if this prince only has 10,000 people, it is enough to deal with a stupid dog like you.

Just wait and see how this prince will deal with you.

Hahaha~!" Zhu Houzhao scolded without any politeness.

Kublai Khan was slightly stunned that someone of such status could actually use such vulgar curse words.

This is the Crown Prince of Ming!

Which of us is called the barbarian country?

How did the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty teach the prince?
With a cold look in his eyes, Kublai Khan suppressed his anger and shouted coldly: "Don't bother with your words. If you don't dare, you don't dare. Why bother making excuses?"

"How ridiculous! Have you forgotten how I taught you a lesson yesterday?

Kublai Khan, you stupid dog, just wait and see how this prince will teach you a lesson." Zhu Houzhao shouted arrogantly.

"You arrogant boy, I will tear you into pieces." Kublai Khan could not help but clench his fists and shouted angrily.

But his eyes were still calm.

"Come here, you useless stupid dog. This time, I will definitely break your legs." Zhu Houzhao cursed immediately, feeling very happy and excited in his heart.

It seemed as if a new door had been opened for him.
