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

After saying that, the enemy commander suddenly exerted his strength, and the long spear brought a gust of wind, directly approaching Lieutenant General Li's face. Lieutenant General Li dodged easily, and thought to himself: Although this man is strong, there are still flaws in his moves.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a messenger came running over and shouted loudly: "Lieutenant General Li, the prince has ordered that the enemy commander must be captured alive!"

Lieutenant General Li was shocked when he heard this, knowing that time was running out. He quickly adjusted his strategy and stopped attacking blindly. Instead, he began to look for opportunities to lure the enemy deeper into his territory.

"You want to capture me alive? You are not qualified!" The enemy commander sneered and his attack became more fierce. However, he did not realize that he had gradually fallen into Lieutenant General Li's trap.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Li deliberately exposed a flaw, luring the enemy commander to attack with all his strength. Just as the enemy commander was about to pierce him with his spear, Lieutenant General Li retreated violently, shouting loudly: "Release the net!"

Upon hearing this, the light cavalrymen who had been lying in ambush all around quickly untied the rope nets they had prepared in advance from their horses and threw them out. The nets covered the enemy commander like a dragnet, trapping him in an instant.

"What!" the enemy commander exclaimed and struggled hard, but the net was extremely tough and was pulled by many light cavalrymen, so he was unable to break free for a while.

"The commander has been captured!" Lieutenant General Li announced loudly, but he did not dare to slack off in his heart. Only when the enemy commander was brought back to the camp could the battle be considered completely over.

At the same time, Zhu Han was closely watching every movement on the battlefield from the high ground. He felt relieved when he saw Lieutenant General Li successfully capture the enemy commander, but then he frowned again.

"General Zhang, clean up the battlefield quickly and make sure no enemy escapes." Zhu Han gave the order in a deep voice while looking around, alert to possible accidents.

General Zhang took the order and shouted loudly: "All troops listen up, quickly clear the battlefield and search for the remaining enemies, without any mistakes!" After that, he personally led the elite soldiers into the enemy camp and engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining enemy troops.

On the battlefield, shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard one after another. The morale of the Ming army was high and they fought bravely. Soon, the enemy troops on the battlefield were finally completely cleared out.

Seeing this, Zhu Han felt a surge of ambition and ambition in his heart. He slowly walked down the high ground and went to the center of the battlefield to check the results.

"Your Highness, the enemy commander has been captured." Lieutenant General Li stepped forward to report, and at the same time brought the enemy commander in the rope net to Zhu Han.

Zhu Han nodded slightly, and looked at the enemy commander with a sharp gaze. He saw that although this man was captured, there was still an unyielding look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly admire his courage.

"What's your name?" Zhu Han asked in a deep voice.

"Hmph, if you want to kill me, just kill me. Why ask so many questions?" The enemy commander snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to reveal his name.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, not caring about his attitude. "Although you are an enemy general, your courage is commendable. If you are willing to surrender, I can protect your life and entrust you with an important task."

The enemy commander's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He never expected that Zhu Han would be so generous as to offer to surrender. However, he quickly regained his composure, shook his head and refused, "I am a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, how can I betray the king? Kill me if you want, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhu Han heard this and admired this man's loyalty even more. He nodded slowly and signaled his guards to take the enemy commander away and imprison him. At the same time, he announced loudly: "All troops, listen to my order, clean up the battlefield immediately, treat the wounded, and properly place the prisoners."

It was late at night, and the cold wind from the border was biting and blew gently through the tent, making a rustling sound. However, Zhu Han seemed not to notice it, and his thoughts had drifted far away.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, it's time to rest." A guard reminded softly, breaking the silence around him.

Zhu Han came back to his senses, nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the tent. Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered, warm and dim, forming a sharp contrast with the cold outside. He sat at the table, spread out the map, and began to carefully study the geographical situation of the border and the layout of both sides.

"General Zhang, Lieutenant General Li, and Lieutenant General Zhao, please ask them to come see me tomorrow morning." Zhu Han instructed the attendant beside him. The attendant withdrew in response and prepared to convey the order.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the land of the border, Zhu Han was already sitting in the tent with several generals, discussing the next plan of action.

"General Zhang, although our army has won a great victory, the enemy's main force is still there. We must not take it lightly." Zhu Han looked directly at General Zhang with a sharp gaze and said, "I intend to continue the pursuit and make sure to completely destroy the enemy's living forces to ensure peace on the border."

General Zhang stood up upon hearing this and bowed his hands in response: "I obey your orders! I am willing to lead my troops to continue the pursuit until the enemy is completely wiped out."

"Deputy General Li, you need to lead the light cavalry to scout the enemy along the way to ensure our army's safe operations." Zhu Han said to Deputy General Li again.

Lieutenant General Li nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I will live up to your trust, Your Majesty, and complete the mission at the cost of my life."

General Zhao quietly recorded the results of everyone's discussion and occasionally put forward his own views and suggestions.

"In addition, we must strengthen our ties with local officials and the people to ensure that the supply lines are unobstructed." Zhu Han added, "General Zhao, you will be responsible for coordinating with the Ministry of Revenue to ensure that food and supplies can be delivered to the border in a timely manner."

General Zhao took the order and left, secretly thinking about how to complete the task efficiently.

After General Zhao left in a hurry, Zhu Han continued to discuss the war situation with the generals.

"Your Highness, although the enemy has been defeated, its remnants are still there. We are afraid that they will revive." General Zhang frowned, his tone revealing his concern about the subsequent battle situation.

Zhu Han nodded in agreement and looked at the map with deep eyes: "General Zhang is right. We must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and not give the enemy any chance to breathe. At the same time, we must strengthen intelligence collection to ensure that we are fully aware of the enemy's movements."

At this time, Lieutenant General Li stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the light cavalry to continue to go deep into the enemy's rear, explore the enemy's movements, and provide accurate intelligence for the army."

Zhu Han heard this and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Lieutenant General Li is extremely brave and wise, and this mission is best suited for you. But remember, be careful and ensure safety."

Lieutenant General Li received the order and was about to leave when Zhu Han stopped him again: "Also, you need to pay attention to whether the enemy intends to unite with other forces to fight against our army. If you find any clues, report it immediately."

Lieutenant General Li nodded in agreement, turned around and left, ready to set off immediately. The camp was calm again, but the air was filled with a tense and murderous atmosphere. Zhu Han stood up, walked to the map, and gently traced every inch of the border with his fingers, silently calculating the next deployment in his mind.

"General Zhao," Zhu Han turned to the general standing beside him and said, "You should write a letter immediately to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the important officials of the court about the battle situation, and ask them to continue to raise food and supplies to ensure that our army has no worries about logistics."

Zhao Canjun received the order and was about to leave when Zhu Han stopped him again: "Also, you need to pay close attention to the developments in the court, especially Zhu Di's. If there is any news that is unfavorable to our army, report it immediately."

Officer Zhao bowed and accepted the order, his eyes gleaming with determination: "I will obey your order and will live up to your trust and ensure that the intelligence flows smoothly."

After Zhao Canjun retreated, Zhu Han turned to General Zhang and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, in the next pursuit, the enemy may be more cunning, and we must always be on guard against their ambushes and counterattacks. I suggest that you lead the elite troops as the vanguard and be sure to remain highly vigilant. If you encounter an ambush, immediately retreat and notify the follow-up troops."

General Zhang nodded and said in a loud voice: "I obey your orders! Your Majesty, rest assured that I will act carefully and not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of me."

At this time, a messenger hurried into the tent and knelt on one knee to report: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. Signs of small-scale enemy troop activities have been found in the southern border. It seems that they are trying to engage in guerrilla warfare with our army."

Zhu Han frowned and quickly analyzed the situation: "The enemy's intention in the south is obvious. They want to tie down our main force and create obstacles for our pursuit. Send down the order and order Lieutenant General Li to lead a team of light cavalry to the south quickly. Make sure to wipe out this enemy force and eliminate the worries."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Li's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and he bowed and accepted the order: "I accept the order, and we will set off immediately!"

Zhu Han nodded, his eyes revealing trust and expectation: "Lieutenant General Li is both wise and brave, this trip will definitely be successful. But remember, you must ensure your own safety and do not underestimate the enemy."

Lieutenant General Li took the order and left. The camp fell into a brief silence again. Zhu Han knew that he had to be cautious in every step ahead and not be careless.

"Your Highness," General Zhang said slowly after a moment's silence, "Our army has been fighting continuously, and the soldiers are already exhausted. Should we send some of the troops back to the camp to rest and recover their combat effectiveness?"

Zhu Han nodded slightly, his eyes deep: "General Zhang is right. The soldiers' physical strength and morale are equally important. Pass the order down, let General Wang lead a part of the troops back to the camp to rest and strengthen the camp defense to prevent the enemy's sneak attack. At the same time, allocate some food and supplies to ensure that the resting troops have sufficient supplies."

General Zhang accepted the order and secretly admired Zhu Han's foresight. He turned to the messenger and ordered, "Go and convey the prince's order quickly. There must be no mistakes."

The messenger retreated and peace returned to the tent.

Zhu Han stood in front of the map, gazing at the vast land of the border, silently calculating every next move in his mind.

Soon, the light cavalry led by Lieutenant General Li brought good news that the enemy troops in the south had been completely wiped out without a single one escaping.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Han showed a gratified smile on his face and said to the attendant beside him: "Quickly spread the victory news to the entire army to boost morale."

The attendant took the order and left, and the cheers of the soldiers rang out again in the camp.

He turned to General Zhang and said, "General Zhang, our army's morale is high, and now is a good time to pursue the enemy. You must lead the army immediately and pursue the enemy along the retreat route. Make sure to annihilate them completely."

General Zhang bowed his hands and responded with a firm voice: "I obey your orders! All troops, please set out immediately to pursue the enemy and annihilate them completely!"

Following General Zhang's order, the Ming army was in high spirits and ready to go, preparing to continue the pursuit along the enemy's retreat route. Zhu Han stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers lined up, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.

"Your Highness, our troops' morale is high, and we will surely win this battle." General Zhang rode his horse to Zhu Han's side, his voice filled with firmness and confidence.

Zhu Han nodded, his eyes deep: "General Zhang, although we have won this battle, we must not be careless. The enemy will surely look for opportunities to counterattack after their defeat. We need to move forward step by step to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

General Zhang accepted the order with a bow: "I understand. I will act prudently and live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

At this time, Lieutenant General Li also rode forward, with a look of excitement on his face: "Your Highness, the enemy troops in the south have been completely annihilated, and our army has no casualties. Next, I am willing to lead the light cavalry to clear the way for the army and explore the enemy situation ahead."

Zhu Han smiled slightly and praised: "Lieutenant General Li is brave and courageous. This mission is best for you. But remember, safety comes first, and you must act carefully."

Lieutenant General Li took the order and set off with his light cavalry to clear the way for the main army. Zhu Han rode side by side with General Zhang to continue discussing the next strategic deployment.

"Your Majesty, during this pursuit, our army must guard against ambushes set by the enemy." General Zhang said in a deep voice, scanning the surrounding terrain. "I suggest that we split our troops into two groups. One group will pursue the enemy head-on to attract their attention, while the other group will go around the enemy's flank and look for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "General Zhang, this is a great plan. Pass the order down and act according to this plan. At the same time, strengthen scouts and reconnaissance to ensure that the intelligence is accurate."

General Zhang received the order and immediately ordered the entire army to launch a pursuit according to the established plan. The morale of the Ming army was high, and they advanced rapidly in two directions, one of which was unstoppable and directly approached the enemy's retreat route.

Soon, the scouts reported that the enemy had indeed set up an ambush in the valley ahead, intending to ambush the pursuing Ming army. Upon hearing the news, Zhu Han sneered, "The enemy is indeed cunning, but in front of our Ming cavalry, all their tricks are in vain."

He immediately adjusted his deployment, ordering the troops pursuing the enemy to slow down, deliberately revealing their weaknesses, and luring the enemy to attack. At the same time, he personally led the elite cavalry to bypass the enemy's flank and prepare to launch a surprise attack.

In the valley, the enemy saw that the Ming army had fallen into a trap, and rushed out from their hiding places, shouting and killing, shaking the earth. However, just when they thought they had won, the elite cavalry led by Zhu Han came like a god, attacking from the flank, instantly disrupting the enemy's position.

"Your Majesty is mighty!" Seeing this, the morale of the Ming army was boosted, and they shouted and rushed towards the enemy. Under the attack from both sides, the enemy army was quickly defeated and fled in all directions.

Zhu Han held a spear in his hand, leading the way, shuttling between the battle formations, and each of his spears accurately stabbed the enemy's vital points. His bravery inspired every soldier, and the morale of the Ming army was high, chasing all the way until the enemy was completely annihilated.

As the enemy troops in the valley were annihilated one by one, the battlefield gradually returned to peace. Zhu Han stood on a high place, looking at the corpses of the enemy soldiers on the ground, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. This victory was hard-won. Behind each fallen body was a broken family and sorrow. (End of this chapter)
