My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 125 A great victory
"Sixth Battalion, Seventh Battalion, Tenth Battalion, Eleventh Battalion, Thirteenth Battalion... Fire!"

Tang He rode on a war horse, looking majestic. He gripped the sword tightly and drew it out suddenly, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the Yuan army. His voice was as loud as thunder and his momentum was magnificent!

At this moment, he was filled with pride. The battle scene he had imagined was finally going to come true.

"Sixth Battalion Shooting!"

"Seventh Battalion Shooting!"

……

As the order was given, the Ming army soldiers of the Musket Battalion picked up their long-awaited steel guns, took aim, and pulled the triggers in an orderly manner.

Massive amounts of bullets rushed towards the Yuan army like a rainstorm. The crisp gunshots were like death notes, converging into a song of the Yuan army's dead souls!

"Archers, crossbowmen! Quick, return to defense! Return to defense!"

Nahachu was so anxious that his face turned red. He shouted and roared at the top of his lungs, constantly mobilizing troops to establish a defense line.

Zhao Fanri was already so frightened that his face turned pale and he was trembling on the horse's back.

After waiting for a long time for the attacking archers and crossbowmen to form their formation, countless casualties had already occurred. The remaining archers drew their bows and, together with the crossbowmen, shot arrows at a "whoosh".

However, this was of no avail. The Ming army's musket battalion was more than 500 meters away from them, and the effective range of the arrows was only about 400 meters at most!
Countless arrows were about to hit the Ming army, but they swayed and fell to the ground. Even if some of them hit the Ming army, they could hardly cause much damage.

Moreover, the Ming army's firing rate was much higher than that of the Yuan army's archers and crossbowmen. When the Yuan army finished the first round of shooting and was not yet ready for the second round, the Ming army had already fired several rounds.

The ruthless bullets hit the bodies of the Yuan army, splashing blood, and a large number of Yuan soldiers fell down.

The vanguard of the army encountered fierce attacks from muskets and artillery, and the middle waist was cut in half. Later, the Ming army's sharp firearms continued to shrink the encirclement. At this time, the Yuan army had already been defeated!

Tang He saw that the time was right, so he spurred his horse and shouted, "Comrades, now is the golden opportunity for us Ming men to make achievements!

If we don’t charge now, when will we? Swing the swords in your hands, let the enemy’s blood dye the earth red! Charge into battle, kill all the Tartars, defend the Ming Dynasty, and swear to ensure the eternal peace of China! Follow me and kill! Charge!”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The roars of tens of thousands of people resounded throughout the universe. Countless horses' hooves stomped on the ground at a rapid speed, shaking the earth and raising billowing thick smoke. It was like a giant dragon galloping across the ground!

The soldiers of the Musket Battalion immediately stood on both sides to make way for the cavalry, and then formed a gun formation to completely block the Yuan army's retreat.

Tang He led the cavalry and chopped down like a sharp sword, piercing the chest of the Yuan army!

The Ming cavalry had long been unable to hold back as they watched the Yuan Tartars continue to fall under the guns of their friendly forces. Now they finally had the opportunity to show their skills and let the brothers in the Musket Battalion see that the Ming cavalry was also unstoppable.

Tang He plunged headlong into the chaotic Yuan army, wielding his sword, chopping, slashing, stabbing and poking, and no one could stop him!

Cavalry combat requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. They are the absolute main force in charging into battle. Soon, the Ming cavalry wiped out the Yuan army.

Then they turned around and, under the leadership of Tang He, fought back again!
Faced with the unstoppable Ming cavalry, the Yuan army at this time had already lost its morale and had no choice but to face death!
The Yuan army and Goryeo cavalry in the pass were either shot to death or driven into the turbulent river. The main musket battalion of the Ming army had been forced out of the pass step by step, and cooperated with the sniper battalion ambushed on the hillsides on both sides to gradually narrow the encirclement.

It's over, completely over. Naha was shaking with anger. All his years of hard work were destroyed in this moment!
Three hundred and fifty thousand troops, that’s a full three hundred and fifty thousand troops!
At this time, the ground was full of corpses!

All of the Yuan Dynasty’s elite main forces are here.

He was slaughtered by the damn Han people, but he was powerless to do anything. He couldn't fight or escape. A deep sense of despair rose from the bottom of his heart.

What army marching south, retaking the Central Plains, and restoring the glory of the Yuan Dynasty, at this moment, all turned into bubbles! After this battle, I am afraid that from today on, there will be no more Yuan Dynasty court in Mobei!

Unlike Nahachu's despair, the Ming army's momentum was growing stronger and stronger, and the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and unstoppable!

Soon, Tang He led a team of elite cavalry and attacked Nahachu. He pointed his sword, which was stained with the blood of the Yuan army, at Nahachu.

"Fight, or surrender?"

Tang He's expression was extremely majestic and his tone was unquestionable!
If Nahachu made any rash move, he would chop off Nahachu's head without hesitation.

Nahachu's eyes were spitting fire, and he roared madly: "I am the governor of Liaodong, the captain of the Yuan Dynasty, the left prime minister, and the first-class Mongolian nobleman. How can I surrender to the Han people!"

Tang He sneered. This Nahachu was still stubborn even when he was about to die. What a shitty prefect and nobles. They were nothing in front of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhao Fanri, however, trembled and said, "I surrender, I surrender!"

"Korean?" Tang He glanced at Zhao Fanri, "A two-faced person!"

"Please spare my life, Heavenly Army. I surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Please spare my life, Heavenly Army. It was the Yuan Tartars who forced us to do this. We are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to this!"

While Zhao Fanri begged for mercy from Tang He, he turned his head to look at Nahachu, who looked ferocious at this time.

"You damned Yuan Tartars, if you hadn't forced my king again and again, how could my Goryeo fall into such an unjust situation? My Goryeo has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it was all forced by you Yuan Tartars!"

Looking at Zhao Fanri, who used to flatter him, but now barked at him like a vicious dog, Nahachu could not help but draw out his saber and chopped it down, instantly chopping off Zhao Fanri's head!
"Shameless villain!"

Tang He watched all this coldly. The Korean admired the strong, but was also two-faced. He deserved to die after being chopped by Nahachu.

"I still say the same thing, fight or surrender?"

At this time, the main force of the Ming army had emerged from the narrow pass one after another and surrounded the Yuan army.

Nahachu looked at the corpses of the Yuan army scattered all over the ground, and then saw the remaining Yuan army, each of them was covered in dust and had lifeless eyes, like dogs that had lost their homes.

Facing the black muzzles of the Ming army's guns, he clenched his fists tightly and his whole body couldn't help shaking. He was angry, desperate, and even wanted to die, but in the end, he still loosened his fists.

"drop!"

After he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of its energy. The arrogance of the past was no longer on his face. The glory of the nobility and the honor of the Yuan Dynasty all disappeared like a mirage without a trace.

"The Yuan army surrendered, the Yuan army surrendered!"

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"The Ming Dynasty is invincible!"

The news of victory spread throughout the entire Ming army in an instant, and countless soldiers cheered, celebrated, and enjoyed the joy of victory.

Zhu Di came down from the mountain and saw Xu Huizu. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Xu Da reported the battle back to Yingtian Prefecture. This time, Yingtian Prefecture was in an uproar. Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he pulled out several of his beards without feeling any pain.

One battle decides the outcome. This battle defeated the main force of the Yuan court in one fell swoop and completely shattered the Yuan court's plan to move south. From then on, the Yuan court no longer had any effective troops available!
