Chapter 48 Battle of Yongping
Zhao Chengchu was a little stunned when he saw the place full of Mongolians around him. He originally planned to trick Lu Tu into going to the border, but he didn't expect that Lu Tu led everyone to retreat into Dongtumote.
Now he didn't dare to make any small move. Just when Zhao Chengchu wanted to leave, an unexpected person met him.
"Brother!" Zhao Chengchu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Ning appeared among the people in Dongtumote who were treating them seriously.
"Sister Yan Ning!"
Seeing that the two Zhao Chengchu suddenly found support, Prince Ezhe called General Lutu and General Eribala into the camp. When the two entered the camp and saw Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them, they were a little stunned.
"Meet the Prince!"
Now that the two sides have joined together, there are nearly 40,000 Mongolian cavalry. Lutu and Eribala are planning to vent their anger. They have been chased away like lost dogs recently, and now they have finally found a foothold.
"The two generals are here!"
Prince Ezhe showed a smile on his face and immediately asked the two of them to sit down. One of them brought a glass of wine and said, "Thanks to the two generals, please drink this cup!"
"Thank you, Prince!"
The two took the wine glasses and drank them in one gulp. They felt there was a sour taste in the wine, but they didn't care. After chatting for a while, Prince Ezhe immediately said: "The two generals are in need of manpower now. I don't think they are as good as the two generals."
Lead some of your troops to gather up the defeated troops, and when our troops recharge their batteries, we will definitely avenge our previous disgrace!"
"yes!"
The two of them immediately looked happy when they heard this. Now that they are recuperating and recuperating, it is a good time to expand their power. When they become stronger, Prince Ezhe may become dispensable.
The two looked at each other, turned around and left, taking away their personal guards. Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked at their wine glasses with smiles on their faces. Zhu Yuanzhang sat carelessly in the tent and looked in the direction of Liaodong.
"You said that Yuan Chonghuan has a conflict with Mao Wenlong?"
Zhao Chengchu immediately replied: "It's already as strong as fire and water."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said: "Boy, I'm afraid you and I have to part ways again."
After hearing this, Zhao Chengchu immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to go through fire and water for my eldest brother!"
"Then tell me where you are going now?" Zhu Yuanzhang was interested in giving Zhao Chengchu a lesson.
Zhao Chengchu moved his eyes to Liaodong and said: "Li's Korea!"
"These books are not in vain!" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed in admiration.
Zhao Chengchu smiled and turned around to leave to pack his luggage. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stopped him and said, "You must pay attention to safety. Both the Jurchens and the Ming army must be vigilant!"
"yes!"
Dongjiang
When Mao Wenlong heard that the Jurchens were coming to attack, he immediately got up and went to the border of the battlefield in person. He saw the dark cavalry, about 30,000 to 40,000 people, galloping towards Dongjiang Town.
Mao Wenlong immediately said to the messenger: "Send a letter to Mr. Yuan to indicate the situation of the war!"
Then he immediately arranged for people to set up defenses, and the city wall began to tremble slightly. What Mao Wenlong didn't know was that the Jurchens did not just attack Dongjiang this time, but divided their troops into two groups to attack Dongjiang and Ningyuan.
After receiving the battle report, Yuan Chonghuan immediately walked towards the defense line of Ningyuan City. Looking at the Jurchen cavalry coming in force from a distance, which numbered about fifty or sixty thousand, Yuan Chonghuan thought for a moment and evacuated all the main Ming forces to Yongping Mansion.
Only Congjun was left behind in the prison. Everyone in the Congjun originally thought that the time had come for them to make contributions, and looked excitedly at the Jurchens rushing towards Ningyuan. However, when they saw the tattered equipment in their hands and wanted to scold them,
It was found that there was no one left in the city except the soldiers.
Only then did everyone realize that they were just cannon fodder used to consume the Jurchens.
Everyone cursed at Yuan Chonghuan, but it was of no avail. Looking at the Jurchens who were getting closer, they shouted: "Damn it, fight them!"
They were just a group of common people with little training, and soon the city gate was breached.
Erbeile Amin, the leader of the army, laughed at the guards on the side: "This group of weak Ming people occupy such a well-defended land. We and the Manchu people are so powerful, but they live in a corner. I think things will change!"
"
"Master Baylor is right, he rushed into the prison and robbed their money, cattle, sheep, and women!"
"Notify the brothers that no one will be left behind when they enter the city!"
"twitter!"
The sound of the hooting resounded through the sky. Zhao Chengchu, who was halfway through the journey, faintly heard the hooting of the Jurchens and immediately ordered everyone to stop immediately. After listening quietly for a moment, he said to the cavalry behind him: "Detour to Yongping Mansion!"
"yes!"
Yuan Chonghuan, who was on the front line of Yongping Mansion, saw a wisp of black smoke coming from Ning Yuan Guard, and said with a sneer: "Let the sergeants hidden around attack immediately!"
As the war drums sounded, the Jurchens who were burning, killing and looting at Ningyuan Guard were caught off guard by the Ming army lurking near Ningyuan Guard before they could react.
Erbeile Amin looked at the army that was suddenly dispersed and immediately scolded: "Don't mess up!"
As the military order was issued, Jin's army slowly stabilized and began to counterattack, but the Ming army took advantage and had already withdrawn to Yongping Mansion.
During the battle between the two sides, two small boats left the port and drifted towards the Dongjiang River.
Zhao Chengchu looked at the figures on the boat and said, "How is the battle on the Dongjiang River going?"
Several people were covered in blood, and some even had wounds on their bodies. It looked like they had just been removed from the battlefield.
"It's very bad. The Jurchens gathered 50,000 elite troops in this battle and went straight to Dongjiang Town. They wanted to occupy Li's Korea. Mao Wenlong led his troops and fought hard!"
Zhao Chengchu looked at everyone and said: "I can see that it is indeed very difficult. You should go down to heal your injuries and rest first!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhao Chengchu stood on the deck and looked at the battlefields on both sides with a sad expression.
East Tumut
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lutu and Eribala who were leading the army back with cold eyes. Prince Ezhe handed over a jar of fine wine and said, "Thank you, two generals!"
"Prince, you are serious!" The two of them shared the wine and drank it all, showing off: "Prince, each of my subordinates has gathered 10,000 troops this time, and I heard that the Jurchens are attacking the Ming court."
When everyone heard the news, they immediately asked: "Is this true?"
"My subordinates dare not deceive the prince!"
E Zhe glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and then led his people into the military tent. He was silent for a moment and said, "I think we should fight against the Jin Dynasty together with the Ming Dynasty!"
The two generals looked at each other and said, "Prince, why don't we wait until both sides are injured before sending troops?"
Ezhe shook his head and said: "If the Ming army alone cannot stop the Jurchens, order your soldiers immediately to prepare for the expedition!"
The two hesitated for a moment before kneeling on one knee and said, "Yes!"
