Although Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on Zhang Wuji, he was not an arrogant person.
He also felt a hint of subtlety in the current battle at Buliang Mountain.
Especially these days.
Ever since the arrival of the Grand Marshal who suppressed the rebellion, he has felt uneasy from time to time.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a local hero.
He also has a lot of informants, and he has some understanding of the new commander-in-chief who is responsible for suppressing the rebellion.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that she was a woman, the princess of Ruyang Palace, and he also knew that she had been at the peak of her power in the Yuan Dynasty in recent years.
Now, the only thing Zhu Yuanzhang didn’t know was her appearance.
After thinking it over again and again, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered his soldiers to be on high alert.
The number of outposts in the mountains has been doubled.
The 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses under his command were Zhu Yuanzhang's entire fortune.
If he suffers a great loss at this time, it will have a great impact on his future plans.
…
At night, just after midnight.
Zhao Min sat cross-legged outside the central military tent.
She was waiting, and finally she waited until autumn.
The leaves on the trees have turned yellow, and the grass underfoot has withered.
This army of the Yuan Dynasty had been confronting Zhu Yuanzhang for more than two months.
The time has finally come to see the outcome.
A strand of hair on Zhao Min's shoulder fluttered in the wind. As the wind grew stronger, the strand of hair began to become hideous.
She slowly stood up and put the strand of hair back on her head.
The golden mask also revealed a hint of coldness on her face.
Zhao Min slowly stood up and gently waved her jade hand.
Duan Zihao, who was not far away, hurried over.
Let's get started. Zhao Min only said these three words.
In a blink of an eye, Duan Zihao disappeared into the night.
Zhao Min's eyes were fixed on the direction of Buliang Mountain.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a ray of light appeared at the foot of Buliang Mountain.
At the beginning, the light was not obvious, but after a few breaths, the light became extremely dazzling.
One, two, three, in less than a moment, hundreds of fire lotuses appeared on the Buliang Mountain...
In Zhao Min's eyes, the scene before her was like a sea of stars, so spectacular that she couldn't bear to blink.
The fire was fueled by the wind, just as Duan Zihao said, in less than a quarter of an hour, he had set the entire Buliang Mountain on fire.
All the people who carried out this mission were from the hundred-man team under Zhao Min.
She did a very good job of keeping the secret. It was not until the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Yuan army camp saw the fire that they knew what she was going to do.
Zhao Min waved her arms gently again.
First-rank general Wang Baobao hurried to her side.
Zhao Min said: Let the soldiers advance slowly towards Buliang Mountain. They should not move too fast to avoid being burned by the fire set by their own people.
After occupying the entire Buliang Mountain, they pursued the rebels who fled in all directions.
If he were to meet Zhang Wuji or Zhu Yuanzhang, regardless of life or death, and at any cost, he would kill them on the spot.
Wang Baobao was already extremely excited.
He had been confronting Zhu Yuanzhang for more than two months and had been looking forward to this moment.
Under the leadership of Wang Baobao, more than 100,000 soldiers slowly advanced towards Buliang Mountain.
This time, they encountered no resistance at all.
…
On Buliang Mountain, Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang were already shocked by the scene before them.
Zhang Wuji's brows were tightly furrowed.
"Damn, I knew something was going to happen. Zhao Min is so cruel that she even thought of this method. I really underestimated her."
The wildfire is almost reaching the top of the mountain.
In this situation, Zhang Wuji did not dare to stay any longer. He waved to the Ming Cult disciples behind him.
Let’s go. It’s a bit hot today. Let’s go back to Guangmingding to cool down.
…
Another corner of Buliang Mountain.
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with remorse and slapped himself hard on the cheek several times.
Damn it, it turns out they were setting fire to the mountain. It’s a pity that I have experienced countless battles, but I couldn’t see through the Yuan soldiers’ plan.
Liu Bowen beside him hurriedly said: Marshal, now is not the time to regret. What you need to do now is to gather your troops and withdraw quickly.
When Liu Bei was in Yiling, Lu Xun burned down his camps for 700 miles, and only tens of thousands of his 700,000 troops were left.
Any further delay will only result in greater casualties.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a person who could take it or leave it. After yesterday's plan with Liu Bowen, he had already thought about joining Guo Zixing. The hateful thing was that before joining him, he suffered such a cowardly defeat.
…
The Yuan soldiers at the foot of the mountain were slowly advancing upwards. Wherever they passed, there was only a piece of charcoal and countless dead bodies.
It is unknown how many days Zhao Min's fire burned.
She set Mount Buliang and the surrounding mountains on fire.
Most of the 50,000 to 60,000 rebel troops under Zhu Yuanzhang were lost in the fire, and the remaining 20,000-odd soldiers were being pursued by Yuan soldiers led by Wang Baobao.
Zhu Yuanzhang was considered a great hero, and for many years he had never been in such a miserable state as he was today.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was leading his remaining troops to flee to the Jianghuai area, while Zhang Wuji had already returned to Guangmingding.
In the Guangmingding Hall, everyone was discussing the next situation.
Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated, and the Ming Cult lost a powerful barrier. From then on, the situation of the Ming Cult would become even more difficult.
