Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 164 Slaying the Northern Yuan General! The Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry is no longer number one!

On the battlefield!

The intense stench of blood seemed almost tangible, permeating every inch of the air.

The sounds of killing continued unabated, like ghosts beckoning to their deaths.

Inside the Dragon Gate Formation!

The battle cries of the Ming soldiers were deafening and incredibly inspiring.

Every soldier fought with all their might, gradually narrowing the encirclement and launching a frenzied attack on the Yuan cavalry trapped inside the formation.

The Yuan cavalry within the formation were already at their wits' end, their eyes filled with despair and fear, fleeing in all directions but finding no glimmer of hope.

north!

A Northern Yuan general pointed ahead, his voice filled with doubt and unease, and asked Guilichi, "General, why have the men who went out to fight retreated?"

Hear the words.

Guili Chi frowned, staring straight ahead, and did not answer immediately.

The tens of thousands of cavalry that had charged out were now in disarray, retreating like startled birds. Their strength had been greatly reduced, and many soldiers were wounded and looked extremely disheveled.

"Mengha, Nali, what's going on?"

When he saw the two generals who had fled back from the front, Guili Chi's face darkened, and he shouted loudly, clearly enraged.

"General, our army has fallen into an ambush by the Ming army and suffered heavy losses."

Meng Ha rode up and reported with a look of trepidation and helplessness on his face.

Nali, standing to the side, kept his head down, not daring to speak, but his face was equally gloomy, and he gripped the reins tightly in his hand, showing extreme resentment.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Guili Chi's eyes widened, his face filled with anger, and he coldly shouted, "Sixty thousand iron cavalry are more than enough to sweep everything away! How could the Ming army set up an ambush? Tell me!"

"General, the Ming army has set up a battle formation."

"No, this is no ordinary military formation, but an ambush formation."

Mengha dared not look directly into Guilichi's eyes, and said with his head down, "At first, I thought that this was the Ming army using shield soldiers to block my iron cavalry, so I ordered the whole army to attack."

"However, upon approaching, the Ming army's shield troops suddenly dispersed, and the soldiers charged directly into them, whereupon they were trapped."

"This military formation is extremely strange, like a huge cage, completely trapping our men inside. When we attack from the outside, we can't break through the Ming army's shield wall at all."

"Moreover, as soon as we get close, the Ming army will fire arrows wildly, and our army will be unable to break through their formation."

"Therefore, we will withdraw first."

Hear this.

Guili Chi's face grew increasingly grim as he glanced at the Northern Yuan cavalry behind the two generals.

now.

These cavalrymen were demoralized and in a sorry state, many with arrows stuck in their bodies and bleeding profusely.

This is enough to prove that Mengha was not lying.

"What kind of military formation can possibly stop my Great Yuan Iron Cavalry?"

Guili Chi's face was filled with suspicion and disbelief.

In his heart, or rather in the hearts of the Northern Yuan people.

The Yuan cavalry was invincible, and this vast plain was their absolute home ground.

Let alone a single layer of shield soldiers, even a dozen layers would not be able to stop the full-force charge of the iron cavalry.

Even though the Northern Yuan was weak, they were still proud of their cavalry fighting strength!
"General, the Ming army's formation is too strange; we simply cannot break through it."

"Moreover, those soldiers who charged into the Ming army's formation were trapped inside, and we had no chance to rescue them."

Nali also looked aggrieved, clenching his fists and speaking with great anger.

"Yes, General, this military formation is too strange."

"We didn't bring any artillery. If we had, we might have been able to blast through those shield formations."

"But now, this humble general truly doesn't know what to do," Mengha said with helplessness and resentment.

"Useless! The Emperor trusted you so much."

Guili Chi cursed fiercely.

Then, he turned his gaze southward, drew his sword without hesitation, and shouted, "Quickly reorganize the army! This time, I will personally lead the charge!"

Hear the sound.

Mengha and Nali immediately clasped their hands and bowed, saying, "Your subordinates obey your orders."

Immediately, the two turned around, returned to their formation, and began to reorganize their troops.

They shouted loudly, directing the soldiers to adjust their formation. In an instant, there was shouting and neighing, and dust was flying everywhere.

"Ming army, I absolutely do not believe that any formation can stop the advance of my Great Yuan Iron Cavalry."

Ghostly red eyes flashed with coldness, showing little fear.

Originally, he planned to wait until the 60,000 cavalrymen had defeated the Ming army before leading 40,000 troops out to encircle and annihilate them.

But the current situation forces him to personally lead the troops to attack.

As the Yuan cavalry regrouped, Guilichi raised his battle sword high and roared, "My men, follow me and kill! Crush the Ming army!"

This loud shout, like a thunderclap, echoed through the void.

At a shout, the Yuan army quickly regrouped, and with the 40,000 fresh troops under Guiliqi who had not yet moved their troops as the main force, they charged towards the Ming army to the south like a black torrent.

The thunderous sound of hooves shook the earth, raising dust that blotted out the sky.

The Northern Yuan has once again unleashed its murderous intent!
And this moment.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the fierce battle.

Inside the Dragon Gate Formation, the killing spree continues.

Zhu Ying stood on the high platform, surveying the battlefield.

This time!

Zhu Ying realized that the Yuan army inside the Dragon Gate Formation had lost all will to fight, so he immediately shouted loudly, "Pass on my order: Yuan soldiers who surrender will be spared! Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy!"

At the same time, Zhu Ying issued a battle flag command.

Followed.

The surrounding guards and soldiers shouted in unison, "The general has ordered that those who surrender will be spared! Those who resist will be killed!"

"The general has ordered..."

The roars of countless Ming soldiers converged, forming a powerful sound wave that reverberated throughout the entire grassland, deafeningly loud.

Inside the Dragon Gate Formation, the Yuan soldiers, who had already given up hope, heard this shout and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

They exchanged glances, and after a moment, many of them made their choice, discarding their weapons and dismounting.

"Spare me! I surrender!"

"Spare me! I don't want to die!"

"I surrender..."

Shouts of surrender rose and fell.

After all, the Yuan soldiers trapped inside the formation had no chance of escape and were shrouded in despair.

Zhu Ying gave them a chance to surrender, which gave them hope of survival.

Otherwise, they would surely die.

After giving the order, Zhu Ying glanced at the situation within the formation and quickly stepped down from the high platform. When he was only a few feet from the ground, he leaped without hesitation and landed steadily on Wu Feng's back below the platform.

As Wu Feng sensed its master's arrival, it let out an excited neigh and raised its front hooves high.

"Royal Guards, follow me!"

Zhu Ying, holding the horse's reins in one hand and a tiger-headed broadsword in the other, let out a powerful shout.

Followed.

"I will obey the general's orders!"

The guards surrounding the platform mounted their horses in perfect unison.

As Zhu Ying moved, the shield wall in front of him seemed to be split apart by a pair of invisible hands, opening up a passage for a lone rider.

Zhu Ying spurred his horse's flanks, and Wu Feng galloped past like a black lightning bolt, with seven hundred personal guards following closely behind.

As the one who set up the formation, Zhu Ying was very familiar with it and had made prior arrangements. He easily left the Dragon Gate Formation, which was like a purgatory for the Yuan army.

Soon, behind the Dragon Gate Formation, 40,000 Ming cavalrymen were already in full battle array, ready for action.

Under their watchful eyes, a gap appeared in the Dragon Gate Formation.

Zhu Ying rode his warhorse swiftly toward them, with seven hundred personal guards surrounding him like stars around the moon.

"Where are the Ming cavalry?" Zhu Ying stared at the Ming cavalry in front of him and shouted in a commanding voice.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Forty thousand Ming cavalrymen raised their weapons and shouted in unison, their voices soaring into the sky, as if the surrounding void itself was trembling.

"Brothers, today's battle is the foundation of our Northern Expedition!"

"Of the 100,000 Northern Yuan cavalry, 40,000 to 50,000 have been trapped and killed within the Dragon Gate Formation, and half of the Yuan cavalry have been eliminated."

"Now, the Northern Yuan cavalry numbers less than half their original strength. What is there for our Great Ming to fear?"

Zhu Ying brandished his battle sword, its blade flashing, and shouted, "Are you all willing to follow me and, with the might of the Great Ming Iron Cavalry, shatter the invincible reputation of the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry?"

"Are you all willing to accompany me to defeat the Northern Yuan cavalry and make our Great Ming cavalry the strongest in the world?"

At this moment, Zhu Ying circulated his inner energy, his voice containing boundless domineering power and immense might.

"I am willing to follow the general and crush the iron cavalry of the Northern Yuan!"

"I am willing to follow the general and forge the invincible name of the Ming Dynasty's iron cavalry!"

Forty thousand Ming soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison, their morale soaring.

Every soldier was fearless and undaunted.

"Brothers, whether you are soldiers of the Great Ning Border Army or soldiers of the Beiping Army, you must know that I, Zhu Ying, will lead the troops into battle, with the general in front and the soldiers behind."

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Zhu Ying roared again, his voice like thunder.

He turned his horse around, raised his tiger-headed broadsword high, and charged northward.

"I will follow the general till death! Kill!"

Forty thousand iron cavalry, swords raised high, followed Zhu Ying's figure like an iron torrent, charging northward.

The thunderous sound of hooves seemed to make the earth tremble beneath their feet.

Under Zhu Ying's leadership, the army bypassed the Longmen Formation and headed straight for the north.

Previously, the Northern Yuan cavalry numbered 100,000, all of whom were cavalrymen.

Even though the Ming Dynasty had 40,000 cavalry, the infantry would find it difficult to fight them on this vast plain. Even if they were to win, the Ming soldiers would suffer heavy casualties.

Even with Zhu Ying's power and official seal, it was difficult to avoid.

His eyes turned.

North of the Dragon Gate Formation, when Zhu Ying led 40,000 Ming cavalrymen, a thunderous thud came from a hundred feet away.

Tatata!
Tatata!
The endless sound of hooves converged, and thousands of horses galloped in.

Countless Northern Yuan battle flags fluttered in the wind as the previously retreating Northern Yuan cavalry charged forward once more.

"end!"

Zhu Ying raised his sword and pulled on the reins at the same time. As if it understood human nature, Wu Feng stopped immediately, its front hooves digging two deep marks in the ground.

The 40,000 cavalrymen behind Zhu Ying stood orderly behind him, organized into battalions and garrison battalions, like a Great Wall of steel.

"Bow and arrow!"

Zhu Ying thrust his battle sword into the ground, and the precious carved bow instantly appeared in his hand.

Then he casually pulled out ten arrows from the quiver on his back.

All the Ming cavalrymen drew their bows and nocked arrows, and every soldier stared intently at the Northern Yuan cavalrymen in front of them, their eyes filled with killing intent!
"The Ming cavalry has entered the battle."

Guiliqi, from the rear of the Northern Yuan cavalry, saw the Ming cavalry arrayed ahead and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey.

"Young men of the Great Yuan, the time has come to make great contributions for the Great Yuan!"

"For the eternal prosperity of the Yuan Dynasty, crush these damned Han people!"

"Let them know who the strongest cavalry in the world is, let them know that our Great Yuan Dynasty is the master of the grasslands!"

Guili Chi brandished his battle sword, roaring madly with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Yuan warriors, crush the Ming army!"

"Kill! Kill them all..."

Many Northern Yuan generals also roared in response.

They charged ahead, leading the charge, with the Northern Yuan cavalry following closely behind, their momentum overwhelming.

These Northern Yuan cavalrymen were all born on horseback and possessed highly skilled horsemanship; they were no less capable than humans.
For them, only by charging into battle could they demonstrate the might of the Yuan cavalry.

Zhu Ying waited quietly, his precious carved bow being drawn to its full extent by his powerful strength.

With the continuous infusion of internal energy and the armor-piercing properties of the precious carved bow, the power of this bow and arrow is greatly increased.

According to Zhu Ying's observation, the Yuan army was rapidly approaching.

One hundred feet, eighty feet, seventy feet. …

It was at the very moment that the Yuan army reached the range of the Ming dynasty's arrows.

"kill!"

Zhu Ying shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, echoing across the battlefield.

boom!
With a tremor of his precious carved bow, ten sharp arrows, enhanced by his inner energy, shot out instantly, carrying overwhelming power like ten bolts of lightning.

Almost instantly.

"Ah...ah..."

The dozens of Yuan soldiers facing them had no chance to react. Even though they were wearing armor, they were instantly pierced through by Zhu Yingqiang's powerful arrows.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and their bodies fell from their horses like kites with broken strings, dying instantly.

"Kill the Northern Yuan soldiers, pick up 1 point of strength, pick up 10 days of life."

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier, collected 1 point of internal energy..."

As arrows slayed enemies, notifications kept popping up in Zhu Ying's mind, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of attribute points were added to his body.

It was precisely Zhu Ying's orders that

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The 40,000 Ming cavalrymen roared with deafening battle cries.

At the same time, they fired their arrows, and instantly, a dense rain of arrows, like a storm, was hurled wildly at the Yuan army in front of them.

The entire void was torn apart by the arrows, making a continuous whooshing sound as they cut through the air.

Under the hail of arrows, some of the Yuan cavalrymen at the forefront were shot dead in an instant, while others were riddled with arrows and turned into hedgehogs, their deaths gruesome.

Blood stained the grass, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Behind Zhu Ying, Ming soldiers rained down arrows, killing as many enemies as possible.

"Fire arrows!"

At this moment, the generals in command roared and ordered their troops to fire arrows.

"kill!"

"Kill all the Han people and barbarians..."

The Yuan army mounted archers, and a hail of arrows rained down on the Ming soldiers.

The two sides exchanged fire, and lives were being lost every moment, fully demonstrating the cruelty of the battlefield.

The blood shimmered blindingly in the sunlight, and the groans of wounded soldiers and the neighing of warhorses mingled together, creating an extremely gruesome scene.

Zhu Ying estimated the distance of the Yuan cavalry, and when they were less than twenty zhang away from him...

"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, today's battle is the battle to bury the Northern Yuan!"

"In this victory, the cavalry of our Great Ming Dynasty shall be the best in the world!"

"With the blood of the Northern Yuan cavalry, we will establish the glory of our Great Ming cavalry!"

"Follow me, kill!"

Zhu Ying let out a loud shout, filled with boundless domineering power.

He raised his tiger-headed sword with his right hand and slapped his warhorse hard.

With a neigh, Wu Feng charged towards the Yuan army ahead like an arrow released from a bow, the dust kicked up by its four hooves forming a cloud of smoke behind it.

"I will follow the general till death! Kill!"

Liu Lei and his seven hundred personal guards roared simultaneously, their voices echoing through the sky.

They followed Zhu Ying closely, charging forward and vowing to fight to the death for him.

"A general should not be greedy for life, and a soldier should not be afraid of death."

"In our Great Ning, there are absolutely no generals who would steal a life, and absolutely no men who would fear death."

"Follow the general and kill!"

"Glory belongs to the Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Heng, Wei Quan, Liu Zhen, and the others roared, displaying the fearless spirit of the Da Ning border army from top to bottom, and charged towards the Yuan army in front.

Every soldier seemed to disregard their own life and death.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill all these Tartars!"

"Our Ming Dynasty cavalry is the best in the world!"

"Kill..."

Countless Ming soldiers roared, filled with fearlessness and boundless killing intent, charging towards the Yuan army with unstoppable momentum.

At this moment, the entire grassland, the entire royal ranch of the Northern Yuan, trembled.

The earth seemed unable to bear the weight, emitting a booming sound, like thunder exploding in one's ears.

"Wild sword dance!"

"Die to me."

Facing him, Zhu Ying wielded his battle sword like rain, the black blade flashing past like a black lightning bolt, its edge slicing through the air.

One after another, the Yuan soldiers were cut down by the blade and died instantly.

Blood splattered on Zhu Ying's face, but he was completely unaware, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.

"Killed a Northern Yuan soldier, collected 1 point of strength..."

The prompts about acquiring attributes from killing enemies kept ringing in Zhu Ying's mind.

Zhu Ying was as brave and invincible as ever. His figure on the battlefield was like the Grim Reaper, leaving death in his wake and making the enemy tremble with fear.

Behind them, countless Ming soldiers were filled with high morale and fearless courage.

Working closely together with Zhu Ying, they launched a fierce attack on the Yuan army.

at last!

The moment the two armies clashed was like a collision between the Han people and the barbarians, a clash between civilization and savagery.

"boom!"

In an instant, the sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses were deafening. Weapons clashed, sparks flew, and the sound of blades piercing armor was incessant.

Blood splattered, spraying onto the grass like a fountain, turning it red.

The two cavalry forces clashed instantly, engaging in a pure hand-to-hand combat, a battle fought to the death.

The shouts of battle, screams of agony, and the neighing of warhorses mingled together, creating a tragic war symphony.

"Outflank them, surround them. Great Yuan warriors, crush them for me!"

"Our Great Yuan Iron Cavalry is invincible."

"Kill them!"

Guili Chi roared from the rear, his voice hoarse and strained, as he commanded his army to charge.

And this moment.

Zhu Ying charged forward frantically, his figure moving freely through the enemy ranks like a ghost.

Behind them, the Ming soldiers charged forward frantically, each one seemingly capable of taking on ten men, utterly fearless.

It seems that this was the blessing brought by Zhu Yingquan's power and official seal.

The battle had fully entered its most brutal and brutal phase.

Just like in the siege battles of the past, Zhu Ying charged ahead alone, and his seven hundred personal guards could barely keep up with his pace.

Zhu Ying charged forward like a sharp blade, and wherever he went, the enemy was routed.

The seven hundred guards were like a blade, tearing through the enemy's defenses with ferocity.

They fought and killed the enemy with frenzied abandon, seemingly tireless.

The two cavalry forces clashed for only a moment, and the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry, which claimed to be invincible, was instantly broken through by the Ming cavalry!
Defeated, torn apart!
The Yuan army originally approached with an offensive posture.

But at this moment, the Ming cavalry were even more ferocious!

"When did our Ming cavalry become able to suppress the Northern Yuan cavalry to such an extent?"

Zhu Di stood on the high platform, witnessing the victory of the Ming cavalry.

At this moment, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared intently at the fierce battle ahead, completely stunned as if frozen in place.

He had been stationed in Beiping Prefecture for a long time and was no stranger to cavalry warfare, having witnessed the cavalry of Beiping Prefecture clashing with the Yuan army on many occasions.

however.

Each time, the cavalry of Beiping Prefecture was at a clear disadvantage against the Mongol cavalry, and could hardly overcome them.

But today's scene completely overturned his understanding.

Zhu Ying took the lead, charging into the enemy ranks. Under his command, the Ming cavalry, like awakened lions, unleashed unprecedented ferocity.

They launched a massive attack on the supposedly invincible Northern Yuan cavalry, overwhelming them and forcing them into a series of defeats! The Northern Yuan iron cavalry could only defend themselves!
Just as Zhu Di was marveling at the scene, Zhu Ying's eyes were clear and sharp, like two cold glints, piercing through the layers of fighting crowd and locking onto the Yuan army commander's battle flag at the very back.

Slay the generals and cut down the flags!

The myth of the greatest cavalry in the world was shattered!
He has accomplished this unparalleled feat!
Zhu Ying had already accepted this idea.

Time passed quietly amidst the fierce fighting, and the cavalry of both sides became completely intertwined, engaging in a brutal battle with flying blood and flesh.

The killings continued.

Zhu Ying, wielding a battle sword and riding a black steed, led seven hundred personal guards, much like Xiang Yu leading eight hundred fierce warriors from Jiangdong in the past, breaking through the Yuan army's defenses with unstoppable momentum and heading straight for the Yuan army's commander-in-chief.

"Kill! Kill!"

Zhu Ying roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

He swung his battle sword wildly, creating streaks of sharp light.

With each swing, Yuan soldiers fell with screams of agony.

As they drew ever closer, the Yuan army's commander-in-chief's battle flag was no more than a dozen feet away from Zhu Ying.

"General!"

Zhu Ying let out a low growl, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, like a demon emerging from the underworld, exuding a chilling aura as he stared intently at Gui Li Chi.

Wu Feng seemed to sense its master's killing intent, raised its head and let out a high-pitched neigh, its four hooves flying as it charged wildly forward.

"Oh no! The Ming army is attacking!"

Guili Chi, who was calmly commanding the army, suddenly felt a strong chill coming from the front.

He glanced up instinctively and met Zhu Ying's murderous gaze, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

But at this moment, it was all too late.

"Charge! Imperial Guards, charge!"

"Our Great Yuan Iron Cavalry is invincible under heaven!"

In his panic, Guili Chi roared loudly.

The thousands of personal guards who remained by his side, under his command, roared, brandished their weapons, and spurred their horses toward Zhu Ying, attempting to stop Zhu Ying's unstoppable offensive.

"kill!"

Zhu Ying roared, "Wild Sword Technique!"

The sword in his hand moved like a nimble dragon, whistling through the air as it danced wildly.

He had no time to pay attention to these soldiers; his eyes were fixed on Guili Chi, and he only wanted to kill him.

Under Zhu Ying's fierce offensive and the relentless attack of seven hundred of his personal guards, these thousands of guards were as fragile as paper, unable to stop his advance.

"Zhu Ying... Zhu Ying, a Ming general... must escape!"

As Guili Chi watched Zhu Ying approach, his face turned deathly pale.

Fear gripped him, and he no longer cared about the prestige of the so-called Great General of the Northern Yuan. He turned his horse around and fled north in a sorry state.

But how could Zhu Ying let him off so easily?
"drive!"

Zhu Ying shouted and swung his whip sharply.

Wu Feng cried out in pain and, like an arrow released from a bow, quickly chased after Gui Li Chi.

This black eagle is a Ferghana horse, and after being fed and trained by Zhu Ying, it has extraordinary speed and strength, surpassing that of ordinary warhorses.

In the blink of an eye, they caught up with Guili Chi.

"Die!"

Zhu Ying roared, raised his battle sword high, and slashed fiercely at the fleeing Gui Lichi in front of him.

"No!"

Guili Chi turned his head in alarm, only to see a dazzling blade of light strike like lightning.

Before he could react, there was a "crack" sound.

The sharp blade severed his neck in an instant.

Guili Chi's head flew high into the air, his eyes still filled with terror and resentment.
