Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 490: Solo Charge
"Your servant obeys!" The few Imperial Guards who were originally escorting Tie Niu, seeing their former colleague's fierce spirit, silently agreed with Yu Qian's words. They then carried the dead Imperial Guard Tie Niu away into the distance.

Time waits for no one!

"Please, Your Highness, hurry!" At this moment, Yu Qian, standing on the street, looked in the direction of the Dragon Kingdom and muttered to himself.
On August 18th, Empress Dowager Sun, in order to stabilize the court, appointed Prince Cheng, Zhu Qiyu, as regent! Meanwhile, discussions about moving the capital south continued unabated in the court!
Meanwhile, at Yu Qian's insistence, the Ming Dynasty did not move south. Instead, it mobilized the remaining people in Beijing to transport grain from Tongzhou to Beijing as a reserve!

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty selected new soldiers from its existing army, trained them carefully, and reorganized the firearms battalion using the remaining firearms!
On October 11th, Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, led his army down the steppes and arrived at the gates of Beijing!
War is imminent!
On October 13th, Yu Qian and Shi Heng led a large army in a major battle outside Desheng Gate in Beijing. Yu Qian set up an ambush, using a small number of cavalry to lure the enemy. The Oirat Mongols fell into the trap and were attacked from both sides by the Ming Dynasty's firearms battalion, resulting in a major defeat. Esen's younger brother was killed in the battle.

However, this enraged Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols. He stripped the Emperor Zhengtong naked outside Xizhimen and displayed him in front of the army, humiliating him! As a result, the morale of the Ming army plummeted to rock bottom!
Meanwhile, on a small hill behind the Oirat camp, a robust figure quietly observed everything before him! He watched the naked figure parading across the battlefield like a streetwalker!

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this person was none other than Emperor Longwu of the Dragon Kingdom.

Yes, there was only Emperor Longwu, and no other reinforcements!

Because, just a few days after leading his army out to sea, the dignified Emperor Longwu once again let himself go because Empress Xia was not by his side!

This time, Emperor Longwu summoned a colossal dragon that blotted out the sky from among his ten thousand troops, and then rode the dragon across the sea.

Yes, Emperor Longwu abandoned his army and personal guards this time, fleeing alone on a dragon! Leaving behind a group of dumbfounded Dragon Kingdom generals!
Especially Xia Xuan, the naval commander, was utterly terrified. He could imagine being berated to death by his sister and father upon his return to China! Perhaps even beaten to death!!
"Full speed ahead!" Immediately, amidst the horrified gazes of the Dragon Kingdom soldiers, Xia Xuan loudly and frantically announced a full-speed departure! He had to catch up with the Emperor!
Emperor Longwu, who had fled first, had arrived outside Beijing several days earlier. He witnessed the outbreak of the Battle of Beijing but did not participate in it.

On the one hand, Emperor Longwu wanted to see how capable Yu Qian and others were, and how they planned to defend Beijing.

On the other hand, Emperor Longwu also wanted to see the current sorry state of Zhu Qizhen, the infamous tyrant of all time!

Meanwhile, in the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace, Yu Qian was pleading with Empress Dowager Sun to install Prince Cheng, Zhu Qiyu, as emperor!

But at this moment, the Dragon Emperor outside Beijing could no longer wait. He, the Dragon Emperor, was going to break into the camp alone!

"Little Yellow, don't be afraid!"

Today, I will let you follow me and become famous for all time!

"You will also be recorded in the history books of future generations!" On a small, unnamed hill outside Beijing, Emperor Longwu, clad in bright yellow armor, gently patted a military horse that he had somehow acquired beside him. He picked up a three-meter-long Guan Dao (a type of halberd) stuck in the ground and spoke softly to the yellow military horse beside him.

"Roar~!" Immediately, a deafening roar erupted from Emperor Longwu's throat, rolling towards the Oirat soldiers' camp not far away! At the same time, Emperor Longwu himself raised his broadsword and charged directly towards the enemy's camp.

Looking down from the sky, one could see a billowing cloud of dust hurtling toward the Oirat army's camp at breakneck speed!

As for why they weren't riding horses as promised, well, the poor warhorse was so terrified by Emperor Longwu's majestic roar that it soiled itself and died on the spot! It's a pity it wasn't even recorded in history!

The effects of that earth-shattering dragon roar were far from over!
Immediately after that dragon's roar, the Oirat army camp closest to Emperor Longwu seemed to be startled, with thousands of horses neighing. Some weaker horses even collapsed to the ground, some even dying instantly! Instantly, the Oirat army camp was filled with the neighing of men and horses, a scene of utter chaos!

"What's that sound?!?" Of course, the leaders in the Oirat camp also heard this strange and terrifying roar and noticed the eeriness outside the tent.

When Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, led his men out of the camp, he was stunned by the chaotic scene outside!

"Great Khan! The horses have been frightened! Countless have died or been wounded! Our soldiers have also been injured! We are trying to calm them down!" A soldier from the grasslands rushed over from a distance and anxiously reported to Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols.

"Reassure the soldiers and regroup the troops," Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, ordered decisively, though he was unaware of what had happened. It must be said that Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, was indeed remarkably composed, befitting his position.

"Report! Great Khan, another one has broken into the camp! Our brothers on the outer perimeter have suffered heavy casualties!" The Oirat leader Esen had barely finished speaking when another Tatar soldier ran over, his face filled with terror! The fear in his eyes was palpable! Even his voice trembled violently as he spoke!
"A man has broken into the camp?! Send men to stop him!" Upon hearing this, Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, was taken aback, but immediately shouted the order. After all, in Esen's eyes, one man was simply courting death!
"Great Khan! Hide quickly! The demon god has returned!"

The demon god has arrived!

"The demon god!" But after hearing the words of Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, the panicked Tatar soldier did not turn and leave. Instead, he rushed forward, grabbed Esen, and tried to run away, shouting loudly, "The demon god is coming!"

"Useless!" Upon hearing the soldier's words, Esen, the leader of the Oirat, was taken aback, then kicked the soldier away. He then led his men towards the gate.

Unexpectedly, before Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, and his men even reached the gate, they saw a fierce battle raging in the open space not far away!

What terrified Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, was that this was not a battle, but a one-sided massacre of the steppe soldiers!

Scattered limbs and severed bodies filled the sky!
Blood rained down from the sky!

Regardless of whether it's a person, a horse, a knife, or a gun, the moment they come into contact with the blood-covered figure in front of them, they fly into the air like rags and crash heavily to the ground!

Moreover, even if the soldiers of the grasslands surround them without attacking, they will still be rushed in and killed by the enemy!

Within a ten-foot radius of the opponent, bloodstains, severed limbs, and weapons were scattered all over the ground!
And everything before our eyes was stained with the blood of the soldiers of the grassland!

"Great Khan! Let's go!" At this moment, the others around Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols, also realized what was happening and immediately tried to pull him away!

"Whoosh!" But before the Oirat leader Esen could be escorted away by his soldiers, a cold light descended from the sky, impaling one of Esen's generals on the ground! Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that it was a long sword, over ten feet long, that had fallen from the sky and pinned the general to the ground!
The general, pinned to the ground, had a knife wound in his chest, the blade embedded deep within him. He was coughing up blood and was clearly not going to survive! The swaying hilt of the knife was a testament to the terrifying power of the blow!

Amidst the panicked gazes of everyone, a blood-red figure could be seen slowly walking towards Esen, the leader of the Oirat Mongols.

Along the way, countless steppe soldiers tried to stop the enemy, only to be easily sent flying by a punch or a kick. Those who were knocked away were clearly doomed, their heads lolling to the side.
