Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 53 Zhu Di will definitely be killed in the future
  Two hundred thousand troops marched through the dense reeds, stretching for dozens of miles.

In order to keep all the 100,000 Tatar troops in Liaodong, Zhu Di also recruited all the three Duoyan guards under Zhu Quan.

The three Duoyan Guards number about 30,000 and are currently the most powerful cavalry under Zhu Di. However, their military discipline is very poor and they need to be restrained from time to time.

After two days of hard march, Zhu Di finally arrived in Haizhou and met Zhu Neng.

Bai Chu saw the ruins along the way and discarded corpses everywhere, and his face became increasingly ugly.

After setting up camp fifty miles away from Haizhou, Zhu Di convened a military meeting.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have already investigated and found that there are only more than 20,000 Tatar troops in Haizhou City."

Zhu Neng stayed outside the city for two days and finally had a clear picture of the situation in Haizhou City.

"The rest, led by the Tatar Khan, attacked Shenyang from the northeast."

"I also sent people to Shenyang City to inquire about information, but with little success. The place was blocked by the Tatar cavalry and could not be broken through. It was difficult to find out the detailed situation in Shenyang."

Zhu Di frowned slightly. There were actually 20,000 people left in Haizhou City. Could it be that the Tatars really planned to stay in Liaodong and not leave? This is completely different from Zhu Di's idea.

Zhu Di felt that even if the Tatars attacked Shenyang under the guise of attacking Shenyang, Lu Kebo would probably bypass Shenyang, then pass through Xin'an Pass and return to Mobei.

But now the Tatars have left 20,000 troops in Haizhou City, which makes Zhu Di puzzled.

If they wanted to escape, they didn't need to leave 20,000 people behind, but just take everyone away.

After all, most of the Tatars were cavalry. If they really tried to escape with all their strength, Zhu Di might not be able to catch them.

But looking at the current situation, do the Tatars really want to fight to the death with themselves in Liaodong?
  "What do you think?"

"Fourth brother, don't worry about what Lu Kebo is planning, let's just defeat him with all our strength."

Zhu Quan said sharply:

"Our army's military strength is far superior to that of the Tatars. As long as we push them all the way, no matter what tricks Luckber uses, it will be in vain."

"There are still 20,000 troops in Haizhou City. Our army will surround Haizhou tomorrow. Once Haizhou is captured, the Tatars' retreat will be cut off and they will be doomed."

This is called using force to overwhelm others. In the face of absolute advantage, any technique is just fancy.

Now, Zhu Di has the most elite Ming army in the north. If the Tatars dare to confront the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely die.

Bai Chu also agreed with this. Compared with Zhu Quan's method, it was very safe and effective.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Di passed on the order.

"Have a good night's rest today and cook at midnight tomorrow. We will set off at the fourth watch and capture Haizhou in one fell swoop. We will surely capture Lu Kebo alive."

At the foot of the mountain in Shenyang City, there was silence.

The 130,000-strong Tatar army was pretentiously building siege equipment under the city.

But at this time, the Tatar army had arrived in Shenyang City. For nearly three days, there was no movement except for showing off their power outside the city. Although it did not cause too many casualties, it frightened the defenders in the city.

For three days, there was no movement, and the Tatar men all looked at each other, wondering what the Great Khan wanted to do. As a Tatar nobleman, Arutai naturally could not sit idly by and ignore it. He went to Lukbo himself and wanted to question Lukbo. But when Arutai saw Lukbo, Lukbo was sitting in his tent, closing his eyes and concentrating. He didn't seem to be disturbed by the upcoming battle.

"Great Khan, we have been trapped under Shenyang City for three days. May I ask, Great Khan, what are you going to do?"

Lu Kebo raised his head, looked at Alutai who looked anxious, and said with a smile: "Alutai, do you think if we take Liaodong, can we restore the former glory of the Golden Family?"

Arutai didn't expect Lukbo's answer, and was immediately stunned.

Lu Kebo actually had the idea of ​​​​Liaodong? how so?
  Thinking of the terrifying strength of the Ming army, Arutai couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly advised, "Great Khan, now the Ming Dynasty is strong and has a strong military. If we capture Liaodong, we may not be able to stop the Ming Dynasty. "

"Now that we have collected enough supplies, let's quickly evacuate Liaodong and return to our home base."

"The women and children in the tribe are all looking forward to the safe return of their husbands."

Seeing Arutai's fearful look, Lu Kebo, who had always been calm, suddenly turned a little ugly and scolded:

"The Tatars once claimed to be the most powerful warriors on the grassland. Are they so afraid of the Ming army now?"

"What is the Ming Dynasty? Arutai, have you forgotten the glory of your ancestors?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang is just a beggar. He used deception to take away our country. Now, I, Nikuchi Sukqi Khan, will restore the glory of the Golden Family and take back what belongs to us."

Arutai was stunned. He didn't know whether he should admire this Khan's courage or laugh at his stupidity.

"Great Khan, you...you...you are betting on the lives of hundreds of thousands of our soldiers!"

When Arutai heard this, the crazy smile on his face disappeared immediately.

Said very calmly.

"It's not a bet, but it's a sure win."

"I have laid a trap a long time ago, just waiting for Zhu Di to take the bait."

"If Zhu Di dares to appear in front of me, I will kill him, then sweep across Liaodong and restore the glory of my golden clan.

"Brothers, kill! The one who gets there first will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver."

At the foot of Haizhou City, Zhu Neng took the lead, holding the broken blade of his shield and shouting sternly.

It has to be said that Zhu Neng was simply a life-threatening madman during the war.

Bai Chu had long heard that Zhang Yu was Zhu Di's number one general, but these days, he knew that Zhu Neng's bravery was not inferior to Zhang Yu's.

When he fought against Zhu Neng, he didn't see Zhu Neng being so fierce. As soon as this man came to the battlefield, he seemed to be a different person, which was scary.

Bai Chu felt that maybe it was because they were born for fighting. They looked ordinary at ordinary times, but on the battlefield, they could burst out with amazing power. This was their talent. They were born to be fighting madness.

Bai Chu and Zhu Di stood on the high platform, watching this scene intently. Different from Lebbock's attack, the Ming Dynasty's army was a real attack. One hundred thousand troops were divided into batches, carrying simple ladders and swords, and climbed onto the city wall.

But this time the weather was very cold, and there was a thick layer of frost on the city wall, making it difficult to climb up.
