The three of them didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere was dull for a while.
But soon, the dullness was broken.
A cavalry team of more than a hundred cavalry, with lightning speed, stabbed out diagonally to kill the general. The angle was very tricky, which was the gap missed by the Ming army's defense.
The Ming army was completely victorious, and the Yuan people abandoned their weapons and surrendered. There was no longer any will to fight, and everyone relaxed. No one expected that such a change would occur at this juncture.
"It's Emperor Beiyuan!"
Li Qing was the first to react. Seeing the team rushing out of the encirclement in an instant, without caring about anything else, he immediately jumped up from his horse and jumped onto Li Jinglong's horse.
"Deputy Commander Li, please lend me a horse."
Before Li Jinglong could speak, he felt the world was spinning. When he came to his senses, Li Qing had already turned his horse's head and galloped wildly.
"Damn it! Emperor Beiyuan is such a bitch, how can he bear it!"
Lan Yu came back to her senses and cursed: "Damn it, if you can let this prisoner escape like this, I don't want to be the coach anymore."
With that said, he raised his whip and led his soldiers to follow Li Qing.
"You can't leave!" Li Jinglong grabbed the horse's reins and roared urgently, "The top priority is to stabilize the situation first. If you, the commander, leave, once the Yuan army mutinies, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lan Yu was annoyed by Li Jinglong, but after listening to his words, she calmed down a little.
Indeed, at this time, he, the coach, must stabilize the situation, otherwise this good situation may be ruined.
The Emperor of Beiyuan is certainly important, but it is far from being compared with the overall situation!
Lan Yu gritted her teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "Your emperor has run away. He has abandoned you. Don't have any more thoughts of resistance. Stay where you are. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be killed!"
After saying that, he said to the soldiers, "Shout to me!"
The soldiers immediately obeyed, and within a short time, tens of thousands of troops shouted together, the sound loud and loud.
"Your emperor has run away, he has abandoned you..."
When the Yuan army heard that all their emperors had run away, they became even more desperate. Their faces were all ashen, and some even sobbed and cried.
Half an hour later, the situation finally stabilized again.
Lan Yu ordered in a deep voice, "Send the order and set up the wild goose formation. If there are any more omissions and someone escapes from the defense line, we will kill him!"
"Move gently!" Li Jinglong added: "Don't let the Yuan army misunderstand."
After a pause, he said to Lan Yu, "Commander, quickly send a team to meet Li Qing. He alone is no match for hundreds of cavalry. If something happens to him, the emperor will be furious."
Lan Yu nodded and immediately ordered his soldiers to find his adopted son and pull a light cavalry to meet Li Qing.
…
After galloping all the way, Li Qing finally caught up with Yuan Ren Qingqi, thanks to Li Jinglong's horse.
Li Qing's war horses were randomly selected from the army, while Li Jinglong's war horses were self-prepared and of high quality. They were gifts given to Li Wenzhong by a former high-ranking general.
It is better than ordinary war horses. This is why Li Qing uses Li Jinglong's war horses.
In addition, Li Jinglong is quite showy. There is a large and exquisite deerskin bow hanging on the saddle, as well as a pot of high-end arrows. On his horse, he has it all.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and within a moment he was within shooting range. Li Qing no longer hesitated.
The bows and arrows were drawn together, and they were combined together, aiming directly at the mount of the extraordinary middle-aged man in the center.
"Whoosh——!"
After shooting Hai Dongqing several times, his archery skills improved greatly. The arrows pierced the sky, passed through the gap between the people and horses behind them, and accurately shot into the horses, piercing nearly half a foot.
"Xilulu..."
The war horse was in pain and raised its front hooves high. The man on the horse could not react in time and was thrown away by the strong inertia. The men and horses behind hurriedly tightened their reins, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Hit!"
Li Qing looked happy and immediately sped up to catch up.
He made the right choice this time. The man on the horse was none other than the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Tuogu Si Timur!
At this moment, Togu Si Timur was in such a state of embarrassment that he rolled several times on the grass before he stopped and was helped up by the Prime Minister.
He abandoned his army, concubines and children, and escaped with only his eldest son, bodyguards and some ministers.
It is really pitiful that such a dignified emperor should be so depressed.
Togustimur shook his groggy head, and when he saw that only one person was chasing him, he became furious and roared: "Kill him!"
Li Qing was chasing Zheng Huan, and in the blink of an eye he was less than twenty meters away from the Yuan army. He suddenly heard a roar. Although he didn't understand it, he could tell what was said from the eyes of these people.
"My God, I was careless."
Li Qing was only focused on chasing people, and didn't even think about this level. At this moment, he saw more than a hundred cavalry looking at him with murderous intent, and then he reacted.
He alone, even if his true energy has improved slightly in the past two years, is absolutely no match for more than a hundred cavalry.
Li Qing smashed his mouth, his mouth full of bitterness. Seeing that the other party was about to draw out his scimitar and take off his bow and arrow, he turned around and shouted:
"Brothers, Emperor Beiyuan is right here, kill him!"
Damn, I hope Emperor Beiyuan can understand Chinese, otherwise I will be miserable today... Li Qing nervously waited for the other party's reaction.
As expected, Togu Si Timur understood it. He spent his youth in the Central Plains and could not only understand Chinese but also speak it.
Although he knew that Li Qing might be cheating, he still didn't dare to gamble, so he changed his horse and called his subordinates to continue on their way.
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and never dared to pursue him so close again. He always kept a safe distance.
More than a hundred war horses galloping on the grassland will still leave traces. Maybe the grassland will be restored to its original state after half a day, but it will be enough for the Ming army to track them down.
Li Qing targeted Togu Si Timur and shot his mount, seriously slowing down his escape.
Every time Togu Si Timur became furious, Li Qing would yell: "Brothers, kill me!"
The Beiyuan Emperor's lungs were about to explode with anger, but he really didn't dare to waste time.
Half an hour later, Togu Si Timur fell off his horse again. At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore and said madly: "Kill him, kill him for me...!"
"Brothers, follow me and kill!" Li Qing followed and shouted.
Tuogusi Timur had never heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf, but he still understood the truth. He didn't believe it at all. This time he was determined to kill Li Qing.
But this time, the wolf really came.
A troop of nearly 2,000 Ming cavalrymen pursued them and quickly encircled them.
Seeing the Ming army shouting for kill at the top of their lungs, Tuogu Si Timur was dumbfounded. This time, he was really in trouble.
Half a quarter of an hour later, most of the more than a hundred war horses were hit by arrows. Tuogu Si Timur was about to make a final struggle, but was captured alive by Li Qingce.
"Caught you."
Li Qing grinned. He would not give up this credit to anyone else. He immediately poked Togu Si Timur a few times. The latter instantly became numb and could not use any strength.
"Go back to camp!"
…
Li Qing took Emperor Beiyuan back to camp.
Li Jinglong's expression was complicated. Compared with the head coach and the supervisor, he, the deputy commander, was far, far behind.
Although Lan Yu committed unforgivable mistakes, they were all eliminated the moment he found the main force of the Yuan army.
Li Qing was not bad either. He asked for water to stabilize the morale of the army, and the shot of Haidongqing pointed out the direction for the army.
It can be said that Li Qing is no worse than Lan Yu in terms of his contribution to finding the Yuan army.
Lan Yu commanded the army to a complete victory, and Li Qing captured the Yuan Ting Emperor alive. The two of them were so dazzling. In comparison, he, the deputy commander, was just playing tricks the whole time.
Although Li Jinglong was very proud, he had to admit that this was the case.
Alas...I am not as good as them after all!
Li Jinglong sighed secretly, and couldn't help but think of his father's instructions before his death: "You must never make enemies with Li Qing. If you can, try to make friends with him."
Thinking of this, the trace of jealousy in my heart gradually dissipated. He walked forward slowly and said with a smile: "Brother Li has made extraordinary contributions. After he returns, the emperor will definitely reward him generously."
If you can't beat it, join.
Between Lan Yu and Li Qing, he chose Li Qing without hesitation.
Li Qing also wanted to have a good relationship with Li Jinglong, not for anything else but to suppress Lan Yu.
Just after winning the battle, the blue jade began to float. The journey back was long, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You're welcome, Deputy Commander Li. If it weren't for your good horse, I might not be able to catch up with Emperor Beiyuan."
"Oh? Haha..." Li Jinglong was startled for a moment, then smiled and said to himself: "Sure enough, I still have merit."
The two chatted and laughed for a while before arriving in front of Lan Yu.
Although Lan Yu is arrogant, he is still polite to Li Qing. After all, Li Qing really made great achievements and the army was victorious. He made an indelible contribution.
"It's getting dark soon. You should have a good rest. Tomorrow we will count the results of the battle, and you, the supervisor, will be indispensable."
Li Qing nodded, "Then here..."
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements a long time ago, so you can just rest." Lan Yu said, "Although there is a clear route on the way back, the marching speed will be slower with prisoners, cattle and sheep. It's better to leave one day earlier.
go home."
"Okay." Li Qing was not polite.
He also wanted to go home quickly. After being depressed for so long, he missed Wanling and the others.
Thinking of the fun of the three ladies in the boudoir, he felt hot in his heart.
After simply eating something, Li Qing went to sleep in the tent. He slept very soundly and did not wake up until midnight the next day.
"Yeah..."
Li Qing stretched, his bones crackled, and his energy returned, "It's great!"
After walking out of the camp, he inquired about the location of Lan Yu, and then rushed up to it.
When Lan Yu saw him coming, she waved her hand and said, "Start moving."
More than a thousand soldiers, shirtless and wearing large trousers, rushed into camps of various sizes and began to carry treasures to the open space outside.
Not long after, boxes of golden gold, white silver, pearl agate... were carried in boxes.
The old nest of Yuan Dynasty is located, how can there be little money?
Thousands of people moved for nearly half an hour before their belongings were evacuated. In addition, there were also precious seals, seals, talismans and other items of extraordinary significance.
The large and small ones are piled together, which makes people dizzy, and they don’t know which one to look at.
Lan Yu said: "As for the property, I will ask my confidants to keep an eye on it. You can take care of it later. Let's go to the next step first and count the prisoners!"
"Yeah, that's fine." Li Qing nodded in agreement.
He knew that Lan Yu wanted to finish the matter at once and do other things so that he could teach in advance.
The population count was relatively smooth. Let the Yuan people stand in line and multiply them vertically and horizontally to get an accurate number.
It only took less than two hours and was completed in a few clicks.
In this battle, the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, King Wu Duo'erzhi, Dai Wang Dalima, princes, princesses, concubines, civil and military ministers, soldiers...
Total, 77,525 people!
After doing all this, the next step is to count the cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock.
The two of them arrived at the livestock farm without stopping. Li Qing was dumbfounded, and Lan Yu's eyes were also wide-eyed.
Much, too much!
I can’t count them all, I can’t count them at all!
Cows, sheep, camels... are not as obedient as people, standing neatly and orderly for you to count. They are all over the mountains and fields, and they move around from time to time, so you can't count them.
"How to do this?" Lan Yu asked.
"I don't know either."
Li Qing scratched his head and said, "Let's go around in a circle and get a rough estimate. I really can't count."
In this scene, even a patient with advanced insomnia can fall asleep counting sheep.
"Okay." Lan Yu had no objection.
After walking around for a while, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Lan Yu said, "I estimate there are no less than 200,000 heads."
"Not that much." Li Qing shook his head, "With such great military exploits, it doesn't matter whether there are more cattle or sheep. Don't take advantage of it. Even if you underreport it, you can't fill it up with figures. Otherwise, if you do an inventory later, the imperial family will not be able to take advantage of it."
The historian is chewing his tongue again."
Lan Yu's face heated up and she said coquettishly, "Well, I'll do as you say. How much do you say?"
"Repay 150,000 yuan!"
Li Qing said, "Including the consumption of going back, it is enough."
"no problem."
Lan Yu nodded in agreement, "Tomorrow I will order the army to bury the brothers who died in the battle. You go and count the gold and silver treasures. We will finish the work early and go home early."
"good!"
Three days later, the gold and silver treasures were counted.
Total: more than 3 million taels of gold, more than 8 million taels of silver, 83 boxes of pearl agate, and 126 boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings.
All the gold and silver treasures were evacuated. More than 150,000 cattle, sheep, camels... were moved, and more than 77,000 captives left their homes.
Then, Lan Yu set off a fire and burned all the tents cleanly, completely cutting off the Yuan people's escape route.
Looking at the fire all over the sky, Li Qing, Lan Yu, and Li Jinglong all looked excited.
So far, there is no Yuanting in the grassland!
After a day's rest, the army embarked on its way home with its supreme victory.
