Chapter 263: Li Wenzhong, a legendary figure in the Ming Dynasty, intervenes to force Jiang Li to testify that Hu Weiyong is colluding with the Japanese

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Northern Yuan Dynasty's Grand Master, Manzi Halazhang, hurriedly gathered all his troops, hurriedly crossed the river, and set up a battle formation to prepare for battle.

Facing the fierce enemy, Li Wenzhong showed no fear and led his army calmly to advance step by step.

Seeing this, the enemy couldn't help but feel timid and retreated slightly.

However, when the Ming army arrived at the Aluhun River, the situation changed.

The number of enemy troops increased, as if endless.

At this critical moment, an accident suddenly occurred!

A cold arrow hit the horse under Li Wenzhong's crotch right on target. The horse neighed in pain and fell to the ground.

Li Wenzhong remained calm in the face of danger and quickly got off his horse.

Holding a sharp short weapon in his hand, he rushed into the enemy camp without hesitation and engaged in close combat with the Yuan army.

Seeing his commander in danger, Commander Li Rong was extremely anxious.

He gave his beloved warhorse to Li Wenzhong without hesitation, then leaped over and snatched an enemy's warhorse and continued to fight bravely.

Li Wenzhong, who regained his warhorse, threw himself into this thrilling battle even more bravely, as if possessed by the god of war.

After a fierce battle, Li Wenzhong finally succeeded in defeating the Northern Yuan army and captured tens of thousands of enemies.

When the pursuit reached Chenghai, the originally scattered enemy troops actually gathered together again.

Faced with this situation, Li Wenzhong made a prompt decision to gather his troops and occupy the dangerous terrain.

At the same time, he ordered the slaughter of cattle to reward his soldiers who fought bravely. Not only that, Li Wenzhong also released a large number of captured horses into the wilderness.

Seeing this, the Northern Yuan army became suspicious and worried that there might be an ambush trap ahead.

Therefore, they did not dare to attack rashly and could only slowly lead their troops to withdraw.

Li Wenzhong also led the Ming army on the return journey, but unexpectedly, they could not find the original road they had taken.

When they arrived at Sanggelma, the soldiers were extremely thirsty due to the lack of water for a long time.

At the critical moment, Li Wenzhong prayed devoutly to the heaven without hesitation.

Miraculously, it is said that soon after he prayed, clear springs emerged where the horse he rode passed.

This solved the urgent problem. The whole army was excited and drank the sweet spring water to quench their thirst and cool down.

In his joy, Li Wenzhong quickly slaughtered livestock as a sacrifice to God to express his gratitude for the god's gift. Then he led his army back in triumph.

Although the two sides were evenly matched in this battle, Xuanning Marquis Cao Liangchen, as well as commanders Zhou Xian, Chang Rong and Zhang Yao, were unfortunately killed in the battlefield.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Li Wenzhong any reward.

Time flies, and it is the sixth year of Hongwu.

Li Wenzhong once again led the army to the border between Peking and Shanxi.

He defeated the enemy in one fell swoop in Sanjiao Village and once again made great military achievements.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, the situation was turbulent and war was raging.

The brave and fearless Li Wenzhong resolutely sent his generals to attack the border in several directions like a tiger out of a cage.

They were full of vigor and unstoppable, making rapid progress.

When the army arrived at the mysterious and vast Sanbula River, a thrilling battle quietly unfolded.

The army led by Li Wenzhong was like a divine force descending from the sky. They quickly defeated the enemy's defense line with a thunderous force and successfully captured the enemy's Pingzhang Chen Anli.

This once powerful opponent has now become a prisoner, which makes people sigh at the unpredictable outcome of war.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wenzhong led the victorious army to continue advancing, and successively arrived at Shunning, Yangmen and other places.

Here they encountered a strong enemy again, but with their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding military talent, Li Wenzhong decisively ordered a fierce attack and eventually killed the enemy, including the brave general known as the Pearl Donkey.

After this battle, Li Wenzhong's name became known throughout the world.

However, Li Wenzhong did not stop. He led his troops straight to Baideng without stopping.

After a fierce battle, he not only captured the general Buhua in the enemy camp alive, but also made the enemy terrified.

This series of brilliant achievements made Li Wenzhong famous and became a hero admired by everyone.

In the autumn of the same year, when the cool breeze was blowing, Li Wenzhong once again led his troops to war.

The target this time is the two fortified cities of Daning and Gaozhou.

Faced with the solid city walls and the tenacious resistance of the defenders, Li Wenzhong showed no fear.

He carefully planned strategies and tactics, commanded the troops with confidence, and finally succeeded in breaking through the city.

In this fierce siege, Li Wenzhong personally killed Prince Duoduoshili, and also captured important figures such as Chengzhi Baijianu.

Li Wenzhong then took advantage of the victory to pursue the fleeing enemy all the way to the Zhanmao Mountain.

Here he showed extraordinary courage and decisiveness, killing Prince Lu in one fell swoop and capturing his concubine and a number of important figures including Situ Dahai.

By this point, Li Wenzhong's glorious military achievements had spread far and wide.

He then led his troops straight into Fengzhou, sweeping away the remaining local forces like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

During this period, Li Wenzhong captured as many as twelve former officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and also took away a large number of war horses, camels, cattle, sheep and other trophies.

This harvest was extremely fruitful, fully demonstrating the powerful strength of Li Wenzhong and his army.

Finally, when Li Wenzhong chased to Baiganer, he saw that the enemy army had already collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

He nodded with satisfaction and led the exhausted but high-spirited soldiers back to the capital.

Since then, Li Wenzhong has personally led elite troops to garrison the border many times.

Always be vigilant against foreign invasion and safeguard national peace.

In Zhu Biao's view, this brave and fearless general always adhered to his mission and responsibility and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Wenzhong had become the de facto leader of the Five Military Commandery, and his power was remarkable.

Not only that, even important institutions such as the Imperial College were under his control.

Thinking of the upcoming imperial examination, Zhu Biao secretly wondered why Li Wenzhong came to the palace to meet the emperor.

Could it be that there is something concerning the imperial examination that needs to be reported?
So he nodded slightly, indicating that he allowed Li Wenzhong to speak frankly.

Li Wenzhong said with a heavy heart, "Your Highness, I went to the Imperial Academy with Your Highness the Prince of Jin yesterday to test the firing of the flintlock rifle.

Suddenly Jiang Li came hurriedly and secretly reported a shocking news.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that Hu Weiyong had colluded with the brutal Japanese pirates and secretly distributed the extremely precious Yuan Dynasty bronze muskets.

What's worse is that the manufacturing skills of this firearm have now spread to distant places.

The people of Tianfang even used the copper musket samples obtained from us to successfully imitate a wooden tubular firearm called "Modafa".

If this continues, the countries in the Western Regions will surely devote all their efforts to studying this path.

By then, the power of the firearms they develop will far surpass that of our Ming Dynasty!
The consequences of this are simply unimaginable!"

Li Wenzhong's words exploded in the court like thunder, and many civil officials and military generals present were shocked.

They all cast their sharp glances at Jiang Li at the same time.
