Chapter 1291 Blue Devil Attacks

After the convoy had reattached its carts, the scouts came to report that Lieutenant General Gaobasi had arrived with a large group of troops.

"Holy shit, so fast? Is there something fishy?" Ping An reached out and pulled out his iron gun, and was about to order the formation to be reorganized.

"No need, no need." Seeing that he was simply not enjoying himself enough, Gobas quickly waved his hand to dissuade him: "I'll tell them not to come close!"

After saying a few instructions to the soldiers, the soldiers took out their horns and started blowing. As expected, the Yuan army on the opposite side stopped.

Only the deputy general, leading a Mongolian prince in bronze armor, came this way. Ping An took a closer look and saw that it was the one he was chasing all over the mountain.

"My Majesty Hong Boyan Timur, frightened by the general's majesty, came here to surrender to the general!" The Mongolian prince shouted loudly as soon as he saw the peace.

When he heard it, it was what the deputy general taught him, which made Ping An unable to find any faults.

Ping An had no choice but to insert the iron gun back into its holster.

~~

So the baggage troops escorted 16,000 prisoners and two Mongolian princes continued on the road. Arrive in Daning three days later.

Daning had already received news that Jin King Zhu Fan personally led the army to respond. Seeing Ping An's results, his eyes were red.

"Brother Bao'er is awesome, so awesome!" After hugging Ping An, he said with great envy: "They have been squatting on the front line for several months, but the combined results are not as great as yours at the rear, transporting grain and grass."

"Luck, purely luck." Ping An hurriedly smiled modestly: "It's pie in the sky, let me catch up with this wave."

"Haha, it's not just luck. No one else would be able to swallow such a big pie." Zhu Fan smiled and praised: "You have been silent for ten years and you have become a blockbuster. To be honest, I really envy you."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Xie's marksmanship is not inferior to mine." Ping An said with a smile, "It's just that he doesn't have a chance to show it off, so it's not known to anyone."

"Hey, they wish they could hide my beauty in this king's golden house." Zhu Fan touched the tiger-headed golden gun under his crotch and said Xiao Suo: "How could you give me this opportunity?"

"That's true." Ping An nodded: "The prince has a rich body, if something goes wrong, who can afford it?"

"Then why should I come to the battlefield?" Zhu Fan said depressedly: "Being a supervisor to build a house? I might as well be living and drinking in Taiyuan. Let me tell you, we girls in Shanxi really have one word, absolutely!" After that, He became energetic again, as if the depressed prince before was someone else.

"..." Ping An smacked his lips, not knowing how to comfort him.

~~

The good news of Ping An's capture of two Mongolian princes in Daqing Mountain soon reached Gyeongju City.

Zhu Zhen and Fu Youde looked at it, but they had mixed feelings. Those two Timurs were supposed to be staying at Qingyun Mountain, why did they suddenly run to the rear? I've been surrounded for a long time, so lonely?

"If Ping An hadn't happened to lead the team, the entire grain transport team would have been wiped out!" Zhu Zhen lost his temper for the first time since the Northern Expedition. "We've already fought this far, and you still have to rely on shitty luck to get through. Don't you feel embarrassed?!"

"Master, don't be too angry." Fu Youde comforted him: "According to the confessions of the two Mongolian princes, they arrived at Daqingshan in early March. At that time, we were visiting Tongliao, and we hadn't had time to tighten the fence yet."

"Then they have been in Daqing Shanmao for three months. We haven't found them for three whole months. What does this mean?" Zhu Zhen said with a dark face: "Our defense line is not as tight as we thought!"

"Yes." Fu Youde nodded hurriedly and said: "Firstly, that is the defense area of ​​Liaodong Dusi, and secondly, we have indeed been negligent. There should not be such a big loophole in any case, and it must be rectified."

"Not only do we need to make rectifications." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "We also need to change our playing style! We can't continue to waste it!"

"Yes, the two Mongolian princes said that they took action after receiving orders from Naha Chu. This shows that Na Ha Chu is still dissatisfied and wants to show us some color." Fu Youde said.

"It's not polite to come and go without reciprocating. Let's give him some color! No, we have to open a dyeing workshop for him!" Zhu Zhen slapped the table.

"Yes!" Fu Youde first accepted the order loudly, and then said hesitantly: "It's just that, Your Majesty, our original plan was to surround the area for reinforcements. Will this attack really frighten Naha into surrendering?"

"Well..." Zhu Zhen touched his chin and started thinking.

The reason why they have been encircling Naha without attacking is that apart from the loss of the attack and the desire to recruit him, they also have a deeper purpose, which is to see if they can lure the Beiyuan Royal Court over.

The reason is simple. Naha Chu and Bei Yuan are at odds with each other, supporting each other. Once Naha Chu is finished, the Bei Yuan regime will be alone and will never be able to return to Monan.

This would be a devastating blow to the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which united people with the ideal of "counterattacking the Central Plains and restoring the Yuan Dynasty".

No matter how elusive the ideal is, as long as there is a possibility of realization, people will stick to it even for the cost of their own commitment.

Once the ideal is shattered and people's hearts are completely dispersed, how can we lead the team? Therefore, Xu Da judged that as long as Nahachu was besieged, he would surely attract the small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. That's why we formulated this strategy of encircling without attacking and focusing on recruiting and surrendering.

"It doesn't matter if you hit him." Zhu Zhen thought about it and gave his own judgment: "The small court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty cannot protect itself. It will not appear unless it is a last resort. Only by putting a knife on Nahachu's neck can they have any chance of protecting themselves. He may show up. So hitting him is not only harmful to our plan, but also beneficial. "

After a pause, he looked at Fu Youde and said, "As for whether Nahachu will be scared into surrendering, as long as the Northern Yuan Dynasty can give him hope, he will not surrender. At most, he will flee north to Mobei to find their emperor. If Nahachu surrenders, it means that he is disappointed with the Northern Yuan Dynasty. We can't wait until the end of time."

"Hey, your highness is right." Fu Youde was convinced and nodded slowly, saying, "Then hit him again and let him know how powerful we are!"

"Hit, hit hard!" Zhu Zhen nodded heavily.

~~

After the two front-line commanders made up their minds, the combat order was quickly issued to Qingzhou's chief general Lan Yu.

Lan Yu was overjoyed when he heard the order. In the past few months, he had been wandering around outside Qingyun Mountain with his men all day long, but he couldn't make any progress, which made him feel suffocated.

That night, he couldn't wait to lead 5,000 elite soldiers out of the city overnight and headed straight to the foot of Qingyun Mountain!

At dawn, 5,000 Ming soldiers had already passed through the tunnel in the mountains. It was a stretch to call it a tunnel, in fact it was just a narrow river valley that could only accommodate one person and one horse in one direction.

The cliffs on both sides were steep and deep, and extremely dangerous. If the enemy soldiers had ambushed here in advance, Lan Yu's 5,000 elite soldiers would all have to die here.

Fortunately, the dense forests along the way covered the area, making it very hidden. What's more, the river became an underground river when it was about to leave the mountain, so there was no entrance outside the mountain, and it had to cross two high mountains to find it.

The Yuan army had never thought that the Ming army could find this hidden passage, so naturally they did not set up defenses.
