Save Chen Heng! Zhu Ying Seeks the Merit of Slaying a General!

The two armies had already fallen into complete chaos.

At this moment, even the Ming Army archers had been swept into the melee.

Then—

"First Thousand-Household Battalion archers, draw your blades and engage!"

Wei Quan shouted.

Many Tatar infantrymen rushed forward, hacking wildly.

"Brothers, stay close to me! Follow me and kill!"

Zhu Ying did not hesitate either, shouting at the soldiers beside him.

"Follow the Squad Leader! Kill!"

The ten recruits also roared to bolster their courage. Though they were afraid, looking at Zhu Ying before them made them feel much less fearful.

"Kill!"

Zhu Ying drew the Fine Steel Saber from his waist and charged toward the Tatar army ahead.

Straight ahead—

A group of Tatar soldiers spotted Zhu Ying. One Tatar infantryman swung his longsword and slashed at him.

"Die, damn you!"

Zhu Ying raised his saber to meet the blow.

With a sharp crack—

The War Saber in the Tatar soldier's hand was instantly severed.

Before the Tatar could react in shock—

Zhu Ying slashed out.

The Fine Steel Saber was incomparably sharp. A head flew into the air, blood spraying everywhere.

"Killed Tatar infantryman. Collected 20 Strength points."

Zhu Ying took a quick step forward, cut off the ear of the Tatar soldier he had killed, and stuffed it into his clothes.

This was military merit. An ear was proof.

Zhu Ying had firmly resolved to climb higher.

He would not let a single bit of military merit slip away.

"Damn Han Chinese!"

"Die!"

After Zhu Ying killed one of them, several more Tatar soldiers nearby glared at him furiously.

Four or five of them charged in at once, surrounding him.

"Protect the Squad Leader!"

The ten soldiers beside Zhu Ying immediately rushed forward and fell into a chaotic fight with the Tatar troops.

"Kill!" Zhu Ying slashed at the Tatar soldier before him again.

Another Tatar soldier was beheaded.

Blood sprayed, and the head dropped to the ground.

"Killed Tatar infantryman. Collected 20 Speed points." The panel prompted.

Having dealt with that man—

Zhu Ying saw several of his bedraggled soldiers and immediately rushed forward, swinging his saber again.

The Fine Steel Saber was extraordinarily sharp, and combined with Zhu Ying's tremendous strength, it was terrifyingly fierce.

The Tatar infantrymen before him could not resist at all and were cut down on the spot.

After several strikes—

He easily killed the five Tatar soldiers in front of him.

Zhu Ying swiftly cut off the ears of the enemies he had slain, then said to the soldiers beside him, "Stay close to me. Kill."

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately answered. They looked at Zhu Ying as though he were a God of War.

He was too fierce.

These savage Tatars were no match for their Squad Leader at all.

"Kill!"

Zhu Ying charged straight into the chaotic battlefield.

He simply raised his saber and hacked.

In this life-or-death struggle, skill seemed useless. It was nothing but a desperate fight for survival.

Zhu Ying's Strength had now surpassed four hundred points. He was a true powerhouse, and with the Fine Steel Saber enhancing him, every slash took a Tatar soldier's life.

Whenever he struck, even if a Tatar infantryman raised a blade to block, the impact would make both arms tremble violently, while their weapons could not withstand his strike.

Zhu Ying gripped his saber with both hands and slaughtered madly, like a killing god, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

The battle continued.

This time, the Tatar border tribes had sent out all fifteen thousand troops, splitting into several forces to circle around and encircle their enemy.

Though the Ming Army's ten thousand troops were outnumbered by half, their combat strength was not inferior in the slightest. As the two armies clashed, the Ming Army did not retreat and continued fighting bloody battles.

Chen Heng, the commander leading the army this time, rode on horseback with saber in hand, shouting commands and cutting down enemy troops.

Such was the bravery of Ming Dynasty generals. They did not merely command from behind; they charged forward with savage courage.

During the Hongwu Era, most generals had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. So too had the nation's strength been forged.

"The Ming Army banner is ahead!"

"The Ming commander is there. Kill!"

Jin Guda spotted the banner of the Thousand-Household Battalion and immediately shouted as he charged forward.

At his cry, numerous Tatar cavalry followed him, rushing straight for the banner and Chen Heng.

"Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Kill!"

Chen Heng showed no fear. With his War Saber in hand, he led his personal guard cavalry in a continued assault.

By now, the two armies had become completely entangled. What they were fighting over was morale, was endurance.

Once the reinforcements arrived and surrounded the Tatars, the outcome of the battle would be decided.

"That should be a Tatar commander."

"Kill him, and I can definitely earn promotion and rank."

Jin Guda's shout also caught the attention of Zhu Ying, who was less than a hundred zhang away.

When he saw Jin Guda charging on horseback, all the other Tatars wore leather armor, while this one wore iron armor. One look was enough to tell that he was a Tatar commander.

Furthermore, Tatar cavalry behind him were carrying a large banner.

Thinking of this—

Zhu Ying did not hesitate. Locking his gaze on the charging Jin Guda, he gripped the Fine Steel Saber and rushed toward him at once.

The battlefield was in chaos now. Both armies had lost all formation and were simply fighting each other.

Whenever he encountered an enemy head-on, Zhu Ying cut them down with one slash. Others grew weaker as they fought, but Zhu Ying only grew stronger. Every enemy he killed added attributes to him, and Zhu Ying could clearly feel his strength increasing.

Zhu Ying charged forward at a swift pace, drawing closer to Jin Guda's position.

"Damn Tatars!"

"Kill!"

Chen Heng shouted coldly, leading his cavalry into a chaotic battle with the Tatar riders before them.

Jin Guda, meanwhile, raised his saber and charged at Chen Heng.

The War Sabers of the two generals met in a violent collision.

After only one exchange—

Jin Guda realized that Chen Heng was stronger than him. He immediately waved his hand. "Kill this Ming Army general, and our tribe shall win!"

"Kill him!"

"Promote whoever kills him to Thousand Commander, and reward him with ten Han Chinese women!"

At those words—

"Kill!"

The surrounding Tatar soldiers, their eyes burning with desire, immediately surged forward to surround Chen Heng, completing the encirclement before anything else.

Chen Heng swung his saber with all his strength, while numerous Tatar soldiers attacked fiercely with blades and spears.

The Ming Army soldiers around him were also fighting with all their might and had no time to spare for him.

"Damn it."

"Why hasn't that bastard Liu Zhen arrived yet?" Chen Heng cursed inwardly.

Just then, a Tatar soldier thrust a spear at him.

Chen Heng's expression changed. He dodged sharply, lost his balance, and fell straight from his horse.

"Kill!"

The Tatar soldiers immediately swarmed him, hacking down wildly.

It's over. Despair flashed through Chen Heng's eyes.

But at that moment!

A blood-covered Ming Army soldier charged over. With one slash, he killed one enemy; with another slash, he killed another.

The several Tatar soldiers surrounding Chen Heng were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

"Hm?"

Chen Heng stared at the man before him in astonishment, having narrowly escaped death.

But after killing those Tatar soldiers, the soldier glanced at Chen Heng, then looked directly at Jin Guda and charged toward him with his bloodstained blade.

"Don't go over there! Are you courting death?"

Seeing this, Chen Heng sprang to his feet and shouted.

But in the next instant, a scene Chen Heng had never expected unfolded.

Zhu Ying charged forward at lightning speed, his War Saber flashing. One slash killed one enemy, then several more enemy soldiers fell. In the blink of an eye, he had reached Jin Guda.
