Chapter 258(1/2)
: One battle will determine the world
In August of the 17th year of Hongwu, fishing in the sea.
The Northern Yuan army and princes and nobles obviously did not realize that they were about to have a disaster.
Less than 2 kilometers away from them, behind a mound, the Ming army was ready to go.
Before the Ming army's military formation, Lan Yu was making the final pre-war mobilization.
The passionate speech made all the Ming army's blood boil.
However, in order not to let the other party discover, they did not shout and cheer themselves up.
But everyone knows that if they can win a great victory this time, or even capture the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, each of them can be promoted and made a fortune.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty was unprepared, while on the other hand, it was the Ming Dynasty, which had all its wealth and life.
Of course, there is no need to say more about this. The morale on the Ming Dynasty is like a tense string. With just one command, it will suddenly jump out and sweep away the unprepared people in front of you.
Behind the erected curtain wall, there were patrolling Beiyuan soldiers, talking.
Although the weather in August is not the coldest, it is already snowy and ice in the north of Moyuhai.
It had just snowed two days ago, and a thick layer of snow formed on the ground.
Some soldiers squatted on the ground, talking while moving their hands and feet to keep themselves warm.
And the sounds of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the tent, singing and laughing can be heard even at the entrance of the camp.
The soldiers of the Northern Yuan also showed unhappy expressions on their faces, but there was no way. Who told them to be soldiers? The people behind them were nobles.
Although these soldiers from the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not convinced, they just thought about it in their hearts but did not dare to do anything. They still had to stick to their positions.
However, as they were talking, they did not notice the strange movements coming from the hillside in front.
Only a Northern Yuan soldier patrolling not far away seemed to notice something.
I looked towards the distant hillside, and then something seemed to be approaching there, and the sand on the ground began to shake.
The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty patted their companions next to them with some confusion, and then said:
"Hey, see what's going on over there?"
The companion who was patrolling with him looked at him strangely, and then he was about to speak when suddenly an arrow flew over with a whoosh.
The arrow penetrated straight into the neck of the man next to him, directly penetrated his neck.
The blood did not crack out immediately, but flowed down the arrow and slowly oozed out.
The Beiyuan soldiers next to them were shocked. Before they could react to what was going on, the rain of arrows covered with earth fell towards them.
Soon, bows and arrows took away the lives of the patrolling soldiers in the north. The other soldiers around the North Yuan heard the movement and quickly moved closer.
However, some people who were afraid of death ran back, but soon a large number of Ming cavalry rushed out.
In order to be able to travel quickly in the desert smoothly, Lan Yu only brought 20,000 cavalry this time, followed him into the desert without any baggage force.
The daily supplies of these 20,000 cavalrymen all rely on the dry food and water they carry.
There are also oasis seen on the road and other tribes to replenish them.
As for those tribes, there is no need to say much. They will kill all the people who can kill, and they will also grab all the people who can steal. However, for Lan Yu, there is naturally no Virgin Heart.
After all, this is a life-and-death war.
The Ming cavalry quickly rushed to the gate of the camp, and the dozen patrolers could not stop it.
Even though there were hundreds of North Yuan soldiers next to the camp, they gathered over.
Under the slap of a seemingly strong man, a battle formation gathered.
But with a cavalry on the Ming Dynasty, he suddenly raised his spear and threw it at the shouting North Yuan man.
The spear suddenly pierced the man's chest, nailing him directly to the ground and unable to move.
The other Beiyuan soldiers were stunned when they saw this scene. The hundreds of people who had finally gathered together suddenly dispersed and fled to their lives.
There was not much morale at first, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly appear at the gate of the royal court without any defense. It was immediately dispersed by the Northern Yuan Ming army.
Lan Yu, who had always been brave, also followed him at this time, riding a horse among the cavalry to charge into battle.
After all, there were no extra infantry to protect him. Most of the people he brought were cavalry this time, so when he stood there, he had no time to hesitate.
Lan Yu rushed in front, which of course inspired everyone's morale. The Ming Dynasty was extremely brave, one by one, as if it was crazy.
The tents were lit, and the nobles who were still enjoying themselves in the tent had no time to drink and have fun. They heard the noise outside, and several nobles walked out of the tent with their fat bodies.
But as soon as he came out, he saw the oncoming cavalry, followed by the shiny steel knives, sliding directly through their neck stalks.
The head flew into the sky and roamed to the ground. Then the screams of the women behind them and the soft bodies fell to the ground. Blood flowed out, reflecting the fire, and the scene was in chaos.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty, the general situation is over.
—————
A group of people were driven out of the tent with fire.
One of the men wearing women's clothes was the most conspicuous, but he was grabbed by his hair and had no place to run away.
The face was full of horror, and the other people next to him looked at the man with his hair, and he also had a look of indignation. Needless to say, the man caught in front of him was the last emperor of the Beiyuan.
In other words, there was no big reputation in history. Emperor Tianyuan Tuogusi Temur, who was the second son of Emperor Shun of Yuan. Speaking of Emperor Shun of Tuogusi Temur, his father, Emperor Shun of Yuan, was even more famous.
However, whether it has fame in history has nothing to do with Lan Yu.
After all, after Lan Yu captured him, it was mainly because of his identity as an emperor. In history, Tuogus Temur and his prince Tian Baoduo actually escaped at the first time.
But this time in the Battle of Fishing Sea, Lan Yu made sufficient preparations, so the two of them did not have time to escape.
I just changed into women's clothing and wanted to follow the others to wear clothes and run away, but I was caught.
He directly captured the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which was a great achievement for the Ming Dynasty.
Lan Yu was naturally proud and said nothing more. She called everyone and prepared to go back to the court.
As for the other escapees, Lan Yu actually didn't care much. Most of them were small nobles, as well as ordinary people.
The small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was basically taken over by Lan Yu.
Needless to say, this is a big blow to the Yuan people. Whether the Northern Yuan can maintain superficial unity in the future is a question mark.
Although Wang Baobao is very prestigious, he has been defeated after so many times.
The only thing that was almost hammered by the King of Liao Zhu Qi was that little prestige was nothing.
Once the emperor is arrested in the Yuan Dynasty, he will basically fall into civil strife and will not have any threat to the Ming Dynasty.
Most of them may surrender to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. The reason is that the marginal trade is too strong. As long as you can do business with the Ming Dynasty, what else can you fight?
However, just as Lan Yu was about to return to the court, someone suddenly came over and reported in a low voice. It turned out that in addition to capturing the Northern Emperor, he also captured more than 50 concubines in his harem.
Good guy, the Northern Yuan Emperor is already so miserable, and there are so many concubines in the harem.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Lan Yu, but his subordinates knew that Lan Yu had no other hobbies, but they might have a little hobby for women.
So after talking about these concubines, their beauty is quite good.
After hearing the truth, Lan Yu had a serious expression on her face, but she felt a little nervous.
If the concubines of the Yuan Dynasty were really good, even if I defiled them here, no one would say anything to them.
Moreover, with such a tense relationship between the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty, I believe His Majesty the Emperor will not blame him.
Lan Yu was also blinded by victory at this time, after all, he was even a famous general of a generation.
But at this time, there was no blessing from the halo of history, and the fruits of fishing were too abundant.
But it is comparable to the results of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing and Fenglang Juxu during the Han Dynasty.
You should know that this is someone else's emperor being directly grabbed by Lan Yu. Since ancient times, many Han people have been able to hold the nomadic emperor in their hands.
There seems to be nothing except the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
Lan Yu's heart was already a great man like Huo Qubing, and at this time he was naturally a little dizzy and drifty.
He quickly touched his beard and asked others to take good care of the Northern Yuan Emperor, and then followed the people to see the imperial concubine.
Only when he walked to the imperial concubine's tent, he found a circle of Ming dynasty troops next to him, surrounding the tent tightly.
The person who took the lead in protecting was nothing else, but Zhu Neng, the first general under the Liao King Zhu Qi.
Lan Yu had heard of Zhu Neng before.
During the Liaohe War, Zhu Neng charged forward many times, as if he had entered a state of no one. Such a fierce general was rare in the world, so he was naturally very famous.
In addition, he was a general excavated by His Highness the King of Liao and had the halo of His Highness the King of Liao.
This time, the Liao King Zhu Qi asked Zhu Neng to go to the northern expedition with Lan Yu.
Originally, Lan Yu thought that Zhu Neng was sent by His Highness to monitor him, but he could not say that he would delay his affairs on the road.
So that Feng Sheng, who was on the other side, would get more results and suppress himself as a general.
But what Lan Yu didn't expect was that this general named Zhu Neng did not hinder him at all along the way.
