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

Chapter 362 After three years, I kill enemies and collect attributes again!
only!
Faced with such a formidable Yuan army attack.

On the city gate, from the crown prince Zhu Ying to ordinary Ming soldiers, not one showed fear. On the contrary, their eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness to try, all reflecting the soldiers' desire to make meritorious contributions.

The Ming Dynasty of today.

Soldiers were all paid full pay, and those who killed the enemy received extra rewards.

Military merits and rewards/punishments are strictly enforced.

There will never be any act of failing to report merits or taking credit for others' work.

Under this set of rules, countless soldiers will surely unite as one.

"Ming soldiers."

"Are you afraid when the Yuan people attack?"

Zhu Ying smiled, looked around at the soldiers on the city gate, and asked loudly.

"Kill all the barbarians."

"Those who offend the majesty of our Great Ming Dynasty shall be killed."

"Kill them all..."

Every soldier was filled with fervor, raising their weapons and roaring.

Even if you are on the defensive right now.

Each of them showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, they were more eager for this battlefield than the Yuan people on the attacking side.

As later historians said of the Ming Dynasty army: "The Ming army is invincible when its pay is not full, but when it is fully paid."

"Hahaha."

"Our Ming soldiers are mighty!"

"This battle."

"I am not some grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor."

"I am still your general."

"Soldiers."

"Most of you once served under me. Do you still remember my principles for going to the battlefield?" Zhu Ying laughed loudly and then asked loudly.

"The generals charge ahead, and the soldiers charge behind."

"A general does not seek survival, and a soldier does not fear death."

The soldiers on the city gate roared and shouted.

They were all former subordinates of Zhu Ying, so how could they not know Zhu Ying's principles of leading troops?

"good."

"This is the principle I follow when leading troops."

"A general does not seek survival, and a soldier does not fear death."

"This battle, as always."

"I will lead all my soldiers to charge ahead and annihilate all enemies of my Great Ming."

"Soldiers."

"Prepare for war!"

Zhu Ying laughed loudly and shouted.

"Follow the general to the death."

"I will follow His Highness to the death."

……

The soldiers were even more excited and enthusiastic.

Unknowingly.

In addition to verbal encouragement, Zhu Ying also possessed the "Seal of Authority for the Crown Prince."

Crown Prince's Seal: Commands military and political affairs. When the host issues decrees, the efficiency of the ministers who issue these decrees doubles! Commands the army. When issuing military orders, the efficiency of generals deploying troops doubles! When the host commands the army, combat power, morale, and stamina double after they go into battle. The host gains the Seal's unique characteristic, [Huaxia Soul]. Whenever the host orders or assigns troops, all Huaxia people will prioritize courage and bravery in battle, fighting to the death without retreating until the enemy is defeated, and their morale will not falter.

This attribute is enhanced by something invisible.

In this era, the Ming army was a symbol of invincibility.

And this time!
In front of the city.

Hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops pressed in.

If it were usual.

Even with ample preparations, such a display of force would inevitably cause some panic, but for Zhu Ying and his soldiers, it was quite calm.

"Relay my order."

"Prepare the artillery."

Zhu Yingwei shouted.

"Yes!"

The thousands of artillerymen on the city gate responded loudly.

Some were carrying torches.

There were people transporting artillery shells.

There were also people carrying buckets of cold water, preparing to quench the water.

We've been waiting for this moment.

They had been preparing for this for a long time.

Nearly 100,000 shells!

They can be kicked out without any need to save money.

The Yuan army is going to get a real beating.

And in front of the city.

The Tatar Khan, Benyashiri, sat on the central chariot, with General Arughtai beside him.

"The border city of the Ming Dynasty".

"For this battle."

"I have been preparing for this for a long time." Benyashiri stared intently at the distant border city of the Ming Dynasty, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

"General."

"You will personally command this battle."

"This Khan is in charge of the central army."

Benyashiri looked at Arutai beside him and gave the order directly.

"The last general takes orders."

Arughtai placed his right hand on his chest and bowed respectfully.

Then he rode off.

"All Tatar generals, heed my command!"

"Artillery advance."

"The catapult is advancing."

"Archers advance."

"Vanguard, attack!"

Arughtai spurred his horse and galloped into the ranks, shouting orders.

"Yes."

Many Tatar generals responded loudly.

The prepared formations began to be divided into units in an orderly manner.

All that could be seen was the city wall.

The Tatar army began to deploy two or three hundred cannons and march towards the city.

Behind them were tens of thousands of archers, and even more siege vanguard troops carrying siege equipment, ready to launch their attack.

At Arughtai's command.

The first wave of attacking troops marched directly toward the border town.

This war-torn border town will once again face the true test of war.

only.

It appears that the Tatars are launching a major offensive, but in reality, they are lambs to the slaughter.

"Yuan people".

"The tactics remain the same as always."

"It has never changed."

"However, their cannons are still the same old ones, which are nothing compared to the cannons of my Great Ming Dynasty." Lan Yu sneered, his tone mocking the Tatar attack.

The Ming Dynasty is not what it used to be.

These fierce warriors naturally became even more arrogant.

Perhaps this is the arrogance of a great power!
"This time, the Tatars are really well prepared."

"So many siege weapons."

"It seems they really want to destroy my Great Ming and plunder southwards." Xu Huizu stared intently, realizing that the Tatars had truly gone all out this time.

"Duke Liang."

"Wei Guogong."

"Duke of Zheng"

Zhu Ying spoke at this moment.

"The minister is here."

Lan Yu, Xu Huizu, and Chang Mao immediately bowed.

"Proceed to your respective military units to prepare and be ready to be deployed at any time."

"This battle."

"I will lead my troops out of the city to annihilate the enemy at any time."

"In the immediate event, the cavalry will take the lead," Zhu Ying said slowly, with a serious tone.

"I will take your orders."

The three generals immediately replied loudly.

"Gong Cao Guo."

"You go down and prepare to stand by."

"Once we expand our territory, the logistics engineering battalion will focus on building strongholds and taking control of the land," Zhu Ying instructed Li Jinglong.

"Your subject obeys." Li Jinglong immediately withdrew.

The Four Battalions.

All the generals in charge of the troops have left.

And this moment.

The Yuan army in front of the city was getting closer and closer.

soon.

They were already less than a hundred feet apart.

They had already entered the firing range of the Ming Dynasty's cannons.

Zhu Ying didn't need to say anything.

"Artillery battalion, fire at full power!"

"Bomb these barbarians to death!" Chen Heng shouted.

"kill!"

The artillery battalion soldiers on the city gate shouted.

The torch lit the fuse.

Hey, hey, hey.

All two hundred cannons that had been set up exploded, sending shells soaring into the air and hurtling towards the Yuan army in front of the city. Then the shells fell.

Boom, boom, boom!
The shell exploded the moment it hit the ground.

Countless sharp iron spikes burst forth and shot out in all directions.

"Ah...ah..."

In this open space in front of the city, these scattered sharp objects are all deadly.

Even wearing armor, it's difficult to truly stop them.

Suddenly!

Then came a chorus of shrill screams as countless Yuan soldiers were instantly blasted to death by cannon fire.

He was pierced by a sharp blade and fell into a pool of blood.

"For every one who dies in battle, one will take their place."

"This battle."

"We will conquer the Ming Dynasty's border city in a single day."

"Cannons on top, archers on top."

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed immediately."

"Supervisory troops, advance!"

Seeing the Ming army fire their cannons, Arughtai knew the power of the Ming cannons and that this was unavoidable, so he had already set up a supervisory army.

Under the intimidation of the supervising army.

The Yuan army continued its advance.

The shield-bearers were in front, protecting the advance of the Yuan army's artillery.

The tactics remain the same.

Void.

The roar continued.

Two hundred cannons on the city gate opened fire at full speed.

A frenzied bombardment.

As Zhu Ying said.

There is no need to conserve ammunition.

Unless the cannon is on the verge of exploding, it will absolutely not affect firing.

Under the relentless bombardment of artillery shells.

The Yuan army was bombarded and killed in countless numbers before they even got close to the city.

"As expected, the Ming Dynasty knew about our military action and had been well prepared for it."

"I just don't know how many troops the Ming Dynasty has amassed in this city."

As the border city's artillery fire continued to bombard and hinder the Yuan army's advance, Arughtai's face turned extremely grim.

While the Ming Dynasty was well-prepared, the Tatars were completely unaware of the situation within the city.

They didn't even know that Zhu Ying was also stationed in the city.

Bang, bang, bang!
The entire border town was filled with the constant roar of cannons.

As the great battle began, countless Yuan soldiers fell victim to the carnage of cannon fire.

Even as time went on, when the Yuan army reached the city walls and approached the city gates, arrows rained down from within the city like a storm.

The Yuan army was routed and unable to advance.

As for the Yuan army's cannons, even if they were to fire successfully, they would not have a significant impact on the defense of the border city.

On the city gate.

The defenses were tight, leaving no loopholes.

Zhu Ying also raised his precious carved bow, just as he had done to the enemy, aiming to shoot and kill Yuan army officers and generals wherever his eyes fell.

"Kill the Tatar centurion, collect 5 points of all attributes, and collect 20 days of lifespan."

"Killed the Tatar centurion..."

"Killed the Tatar centurion, picked up 1 point of all attributes..."

"Kill the Tatars..."

The long-awaited notification rang in Zhu Ying's ears: an increase in attributes and lifespan, which made Zhu Ying very happy.

I have been away from the war for nearly three years.

Visiting Zhu Ying again, his feelings about her were even more indescribable.

as always.

With Zhu Ying's divine arrows, one Tatar officer after another was shot down, throwing their formation into chaos.

Meanwhile, arrows and cannon fire rained down relentlessly from within the city.

It can be described as a constant cycle of killing and warfare.

Time lasts.

The slaughterhouse was located right in front of the city.

These were slaughterhouses targeted by the attacking Yuan army.

The rear guard of the Tatar army.

"Sweat profusely."

Something's not right.

"How could the Ming army's defenses inside this city be so tight?"

"Moreover, their bows and arrows, as well as their cannons, are extremely fierce," a Tatar general said solemnly to Benyashiri.

Benjamin, on the other hand, had a furrowed brow.

The battle situation here is indeed somewhat strange; no, it should be said that the Ming army's defense at the border city was underestimated.

"Sweat profusely."

"The Ming army in the city is heavily guarded, and their firearms are particularly fierce. They are probably not ordinary Ming border troops."

Arughtai rode up and reported with even greater solemnity.

"General."

"Could it be that the Ming Dynasty has already deployed its main force to garrison the area?" Benyashiri immediately asked.

"possible."

"Judging from the city's defensive posture, its troop strength is also small."

"The Ming army has ample reserves of cannonballs and arrows," Arughtai said with a grim expression.

It was also at this time.

"Report."

"Reporting to the Great Khan, reporting to the General."

"The vanguard formation has collapsed."

"The Ming Dynasty... that sharpshooter from the Ming Dynasty's garrison is still alive."

"He specializes in shooting our generals. He has already killed many commanders of thousands, and even one commander of ten thousand has been shot dead."

"We urge the Great Khan and the General to make the final decision."

A Tatar general rushed over in a panic, reporting in alarm.

Hear this.

Benyashiri and Arughtai looked at each other, their faces filled with undisguised horror.

"Zhu Ying."

The two of them said the same name in unison.

A brilliant archer from the Ming Dynasty.

The nightmare of the former Northern Yuan army.

They specifically targeted their officers and generals, preventing them from showing their faces. They even prepared many shield-bearers to protect them from these archers, and some even disguised themselves as ordinary soldiers.

But this archer, positioned high above, never missed a shot.

This caused the former Japanese army to suffer many heavy losses.

Later!

After much investigation, Bei Yuan learned that the archer was Zhu Ying.

"Sweat profusely."

"Zhu Ying is stationed in the city. We were not prepared to deal with his archery today. Moreover, he is now the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. His arrival proves that the main force of the Ming army must also be stationed in this border city."

"I propose that we withdraw our troops today."

"We will launch another attack tomorrow," Arutai immediately said.

His tone revealed a strong sense of apprehension towards Zhu Ying.

even.

He was still feeling a bit panicked, and even considered retreating immediately.

After all, Zhu Ying had caused the Northern Yuan and their northern tribes to suffer countless losses.

"General."

"Are you afraid of Zhu Ying?" But Benyashiri frowned, his face filled with hatred.

"Sweat profusely."

"We should consider this carefully."

“With Zhu Ying stationed here, it’s impossible for us to easily capture the city,” Arutai said solemnly.

Looking at his serious and earnest expression.

Benyashiri glanced at the border city and at his army, whose attack had failed. Despite his reluctance, he could only nod and say, "Today was our army's attempt to test the Ming army's defenses. I hereby order the Khan to temporarily withdraw the troops and launch a full-scale attack tomorrow to capture this city."

"The Great Khan is wise." Arughtai nodded immediately.

Followed.

The sound of the gong resounded.

The Yuan army that had been attacking the city began to retreat slowly.

But the Ming soldiers on the city gates would naturally not let any opportunity to strike back.

The shelling continued.

The indiscriminate shooting of arrows continued.

"Your Highness."

"It seems that the Yuan army is only testing the waters today, not launching a general attack."

"Pity."

Chen Heng was somewhat disappointed as he watched the retreating Yuan army.

Thousands upon thousands of Yuan soldiers' corpses lay before the city.

Tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers retreated just like that. Originally, Chen Heng had planned for the Yuan army to continue its offensive, while the infantry battalion would rely on its defensive posture to slaughter the attacking Yuan army and deplete their manpower.

“Arutai is not stupid.”

Benjamin wasn't stupid either.

“They should already know I’m here because I shot their officers and generals.”

Zhu Ying smiled, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"If they knew that His Highness was in this city, they would attack even more fiercely tomorrow."

"We will not withdraw our troops easily." Chen Heng's eyes lit up.

The Zhu Ying of today is not the same Zhu Ying who was the commander before, but the Crown Prince.

This was extremely important for both the Yuan army and the Tatars. If they could break through the city and capture Zhu Ying, they could negotiate with the Ming Dynasty and force them to make concessions.
