Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

General Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is right. I am willing to personally go to the border tribes, explain the benefits and disadvantages, and jointly resist the foreign enemies."

Lieutenant General Li also requested, "I am willing to go with General Zhang to increase our prestige."

Zhu Han nodded in approval: "Good! The two generals have a heavy responsibility on this trip, so please be careful. Take my personal letter and give it to the leaders of each tribe to show my sincerity."

General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li left as ordered, and the camp returned to peace. Zhu Han stood alone in the middle of the tent, looking at the map on the table, secretly thinking about the next strategic deployment.

The next morning, the sky in the border area was clear blue and the sun was shining brightly. General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li were ready to set off to the border areas. Zhu Han personally came to the camp gate to see them off.

"The two generals are here to represent not only this king, but also the dignity and determination of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Han said earnestly, "Be sure to act with caution and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li agreed in unison, mounted their horses, led the elite cavalry, and set off on a journey to the frontier tribes. Zhu Han looked at their receding backs, feeling both reluctant and expectant.

After bidding farewell to General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li, Zhu Han returned to the camp and continued to discuss military affairs with his staff. At this time, a scout hurried into the tent and knelt on one knee to report: "Your Majesty, we have discovered that the enemy has made unusual movements. It seems that they are gathering their forces. Their intentions are unclear."

Zhu Han frowned slightly, stood up quickly, and stared at the scout: "Do you know the specific movements of the enemy?"

The scout replied: "The enemy seems to be moving towards one side of our defense line, intending to outflank our flank."

Zhu Han pondered for a moment, then turned to General Zhao beside him and said, "Pass the order down to strengthen the defenses on this flank. At the same time, order the scouts to continue to closely monitor the enemy's movements. If there is anything unusual, report immediately."

As soon as Zhu Han gave the order, Army Officer Zhao turned around quickly and said to the messenger beside him in a deep voice: "Go and convey the prince's order quickly, strengthen the defense of our army's flanks, and make sure it is safe."

The messenger took the order and quickly turned around and left with firm steps. Zhu Han continued to stare at the map, frowning, as if he was deducing various possible changes in the battle situation in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I think the enemy's move is intended to test our strength." General Zhang stepped forward and analyzed in a deep voice, "Our army must be on high alert, but we must not act rashly, lest we fall into the enemy's trap."

Zhu Han nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "General Zhang is right. The enemy is cunning, we must remain vigilant and not slack off in the slightest."

At this time, a guard hurriedly walked into the tent, knelt on one knee, and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, the enemy has begun to attack our defense line, and the offensive is fierce!"

Zhu Han's eyes instantly became fierce when he heard this. He quickly stood up and ordered the generals beside him: "The entire army is in combat mode! General Zhang, you personally lead the elite troops to the flanks and make sure to hold your ground and not let the enemy break through at all!"

"I obey your command!" General Zhang bowed in response, then turned around and strode out of the tent, ready to fight.

Zhu Han said to Lieutenant General Li: "Lieutenant General Li, lead the light cavalry to patrol the flanks, look for the enemy's weaknesses, and wait for an opportunity to give them a fatal blow."

"I obey your command!" Lieutenant General Li also bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and summoned his light cavalry to prepare for the attack.

As the order was issued, the military camp quickly became busy, and the soldiers were ready to go, with high morale. Zhu Han stood on a high place, holding a command flag, and closely followed the developments on the battlefield.

Soon, the battlefield was filled with shouts and cries of killing, and the two armies clashed fiercely. The flanking troops led by General Zhang fought a desperate battle with the enemy, with swords flashing and blood flying everywhere. Zhu Han held the command flag and adjusted the deployment of troops from time to time to ensure that every battlefield could receive timely support.

"Your Highness, the enemy's attack is fierce, and our army has suffered heavy casualties!" A personal guard hurried over and reported anxiously.

Zhu Han's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, you must hold your ground and don't retreat! At the same time, strengthen the treatment of the wounded and the logistics support to ensure that the soldiers have no worries."

Upon hearing the news, Lieutenant General Li's eyes flashed with excitement. He quickly turned around and shouted to the light cavalry behind him: "Brothers, follow me! Go straight to Huanglong and defeat the enemy's command!"

The light cavalry responded in unison, with high morale, and followed Lieutenant General Li to rush to the rear of the enemy like an arrow from a bow. Zhu Han stayed in the center army, paying close attention to every change on the battlefield, ready to adjust the tactical layout at any time.

At the same time, the battle on the front battlefield of General Zhang was also extremely fierce. He held a long spear in his hand and led the troops to fight with the enemy generals. As the spear shadows flew, the enemy generals were forced to retreat again and again.

"General Zhang is mighty!" A personal guard shouted loudly to cheer for General Zhang.

General Zhang responded as he fought: "Brothers, hold your ground and do not retreat! Let the enemy see how brave we Ming men are!"

Under Zhu Han's careful command, the situation on the battlefield gradually reversed. The enemy began to collapse under the fierce offensive of Zhu Han's army, and the defense lines were broken one by one. Zhu Han stood on a high place, looking at the gradually clear battle situation, and felt a little relieved.

However, at this moment, a scout came running again and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be planning to retreat, but there seems to be an ambush in the rear!"

Zhu Han's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's when he heard this. He pursed his lips tightly and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind. After a moment, he solemnly ordered Zhao Canjun beside him: "Zhao Canjun, immediately inform the entire army to stay alert and not underestimate the enemy. At the same time, order the scouts to explore the enemy's retreat route with all their strength to confirm whether there is an ambush."

General Zhao accepted the order with a bow, turned around and said to the messenger hurriedly: "Go and convey the prince's order quickly, the whole army should be on high alert, the scouts should strengthen their exploration, and be careful!"

The messenger received the order and quickly ran to various places in the camp to convey the order. Zhu Han continued to stare at the battlefield and said to General Zhang: "General Zhang, the enemy may have a trick, you must be careful. If the enemy retreats, do not rush to pursue them. Wait until I confirm that it is correct before making a decision." Hearing this, General Zhang's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity, and he replied in a deep voice: "I will obey your order and act cautiously."

At this time, Lieutenant General Li had led his light cavalry to the enemy's flank and was preparing to launch a surprise attack. He kept in touch with Zhu Han through intercom flag signals. When Zhu Han gestured to pause, he immediately ordered his troops to hide and wait. He shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, stay put for the time being and wait for the prince's order!"

The light cavalry quickly hid among the grass and trees, holding their breath and waiting. Lieutenant General Li rode his horse closer to the platform where Zhu Han was and asked in a low voice: "My Lord, is there any change?"

Zhu Han nodded and said briefly and forcefully: "The enemy may have an ambush, so be careful. Your troops will hide for the time being and make plans after the scouts report back."

Lieutenant General Li quickly understood what he had heard and once again loudly conveyed the order to the soldiers. Although the soldiers were somewhat unwilling, they still quickly carried out the order, and the entire team fell silent again.

Soon, the scouts reported back, confirming that there was indeed an ambush on the enemy's retreat route. Upon hearing this, Zhu Han's eyes flashed with a hint of sternness. He quickly made a decision and ordered General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li at the same time: "General Zhang, your troops will continue to hold the front position to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. Lieutenant General Li, you will immediately lead the light cavalry to bypass the enemy's rear and destroy their ambush to ensure the safety of our supply line."

General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li responded in unison, and then led their troops to act according to Zhu Han's order. General Zhang calmly commanded his soldiers to reinforce the defense line, while Lieutenant General Li led the light cavalry to the rear of the enemy like a ghost, ready to give it a fatal blow.

On the battlefield, the atmosphere between the two armies became increasingly tense. Zhu Han held the command flag, standing on a high place, his eyes sharp as a torch, always paying attention to every subtle change on the battlefield.

At this moment, the enemy seemed to have noticed Zhu Han's intention and began to retreat faster, intending to lure Zhu Han's army to pursue. Seeing this, Zhu Han sneered, and he did not rush to order a pursuit, but continued to wait for the latest intelligence from the scouts.

Soon, the scouts reported again, confirming that the enemy's ambush had been successfully destroyed by Lieutenant General Li's troops. Upon hearing this, Zhu Han's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly raised the flag and ordered loudly: "All troops, listen to my order. The enemy's ambush has been broken. Pursue immediately! We must annihilate the enemy completely. No mistakes!"

Following Zhu Han's order, Zhu Han's troops rushed out of the camp like a tide and chased the enemy. General Zhang led the elite troops to pursue the enemy head-on, while Lieutenant General Li led the light cavalry to outflank the enemy from the flank. Under the two-pronged attack, the enemy soon fell into a desperate situation.

The shouts of killing on the battlefield shook the earth. Zhu Han's army was in high spirits and marched forward like a broken bamboo. Zhu Han held a spear in his hand and led the troops, shuttling between the battle formations. Each of his spears accurately stabbed the enemy's vital points. He shouted to encourage morale: "Soldiers, for the Ming Dynasty, for our homeland, kill!"

The soldiers were encouraged and fought bravely. General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li led their troops to fight fiercely with the enemy. General Zhang led the way and fought with the enemy generals; Lieutenant General Li led the light cavalry flexibly and continuously dealt heavy blows to the enemy.

As the battle progressed, the enemy gradually could not withstand Zhu Han's fierce offensive and began to flee. Seeing this, Zhu Han shouted an order: "All troops should speed up the pursuit and make sure to annihilate the enemy!"

The soldiers followed the order and their morale was high. They shouted and screamed, and rushed towards the enemy like a tide. General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li each led their elite troops to chase the defeated enemy. General Zhang led the way, and he was invincible wherever his spear pointed. He shouted loudly while charging: "My men, follow me closely, don't let the enemy have a chance to breathe!" The soldiers behind him followed closely, bravely moving forward, and engaged in a fierce close combat with the enemy.

"General Zhang is mighty!" A personal guard shouted loudly to cheer for General Zhang, while waving the sword in his hand and slashing at an enemy soldier.

General Zhang's eyes were sharp and his spear skills were sharp. Every time he stabbed, he was accurate. Seeing this, an enemy general roared and swung his sword to slash. General Zhang was agile and easily dodged the attack. He shot back and stabbed the enemy general in the heart. The enemy general was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the spear and fell off his horse.

"General, you are mighty!" The soldiers shouted in unison, their morale boosted, and they attacked the enemy more fiercely. Under the leadership of General Zhang, they gradually compressed the enemy into a narrow area.

At the same time, the light cavalry led by Lieutenant General Li flexibly maneuvered on the flanks, constantly harassing the enemy's rear, searching for and destroying the enemy's supply lines and command system. They shuttled across the battlefield like ghosts, shooting arrows at the enemy like raindrops.

"Brothers, follow me!" Lieutenant General Li shouted loudly, and rushed to a command group of the enemy army. The light cavalry followed closely behind, shooting arrows at them, and instantly killed the enemy commander under his horse. The enemy army, without command, fell into chaos.

"Well done, Lieutenant General Li!" A messenger rode over and loudly conveyed Zhu Han's order, "The prince has ordered that the entire army speed up the pursuit and must annihilate the enemy. Not a single person should be allowed to escape!"

Upon hearing the voice, a fierce look flashed in Lieutenant General Li's eyes: "Yes, sir! Brothers, speed up and wipe out the enemy!" He waved the spear in his hand and led the light cavalry to rush towards the remnants of the enemy army like a whirlwind.

On the battlefield, Zhu Han always stood on a high place, holding a command flag, paying close attention to every change in the battle situation. He issued orders to various troops through messengers from time to time to ensure the coordination of actions on the entire battlefield.

"Your Highness, the main force of the enemy has been basically wiped out, and the remaining stragglers are fleeing to the north." A scout hurried over and knelt on one knee to report.

Zhu Han nodded and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, each unit will pursue separately and make sure to completely eliminate the remaining enemies. At the same time, intensify the search on the battlefield to ensure that no one is left alive."

The messenger took the order and quickly conveyed Zhu Han's order to each unit. The soldiers followed the order and chased the fleeing enemy soldiers. The entire battlefield fell into chaos and bloodshed.

Soon after, victory news came from the battlefield. General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li led their troops to annihilate the remaining enemy forces, and the entire battlefield was completely cleared. Zhu Han stood on a high place, looking at the enemy corpses and surrendered prisoners on the ground, and a surge of heroic spirit surged in his heart.

"Pass the order down, clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and properly handle the enemy prisoners." Zhu Han said in a deep voice to Zhao Canjun beside him, "At the same time, send scouts to continue to explore the surrounding areas to ensure that no enemy troops have escaped."

General Zhao took the order and quickly arranged for the soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield. Zhu Han slowly walked down the platform and personally went to visit the wounded. His heart was filled with concern and gratitude for every soldier.

Arriving at the wounded camp, Zhu Han stopped and gently glanced at each wounded person lying on the bed. He whispered to the medical officer beside him, "How are they doing?"

The medical officer replied respectfully: "Your Highness, although most of the wounded are seriously injured, their lives are not in danger. They just need to be properly cared for to avoid any sequelae."

Zhu Han nodded, walked into the tent, and checked the wounded one by one. He came to a young soldier with an injured arm and asked softly, "How do you feel? Is it still painful?" (End of this chapter)
