It was sheer bad luck that Naha could not be caught.
When he saw the smoke and dust raised by Lan Yu's troops, he had already turned his horse's head and secretly left the Chinese army. Action cannot be said to be unpleasant.
Under normal circumstances, by the time Zhu Su and Lan Yu finished taking care of the hundreds of thousands of "cows and sheep" running around, Naha Chu might have already run under the Great Wall, preparing to leave the customs and then take a detour back to Liaodong.
However, he quietly left the Chinese army, bringing only dozens of close confidants and guards with him. He is used to leading large armies. How can he feel at ease with only a dozen people at hand? What if we run into the Ming army on the way to escape?
But if they take away the elite troops of the Chinese army and attract the attention of the Ming army, the Ming army will definitely lead a large force to pursue them.
So Naha turned his attention to the right wing, which was farther away from the battlefield. He wanted to take away some troops from the right wing without anyone noticing, not only for self-defense, but also to delay pursuing troops in times of crisis.
Unfortunately, the force on the right wing happened to be a force composed of Han people from Liaodong.
"You guys, throw down the flag, take the troops, and follow me!"
"Don't alert the others!"
As the commander-in-chief, Naha Chu suddenly descended on the remote right wing, and the Han officers leading the army were almost out of their wits with fear.
He accepted the order in confusion and walked a long distance in a daze before he realized that it was wrong. Why did Prime Minister Zuo let them keep it and not raise the flag... This was not to abandon the army and start an attack. Run away?
Could it be that they are already...defeated?
Sure enough, they saw that the original friendly troops behind them were suddenly rushed to pieces by the Ming army's formation. There were constant sounds of begging for mercy and shouts of killing. Naha, with a frightened face like gold paper, rode on his horse and whipped these people with a whip, urging them to leave quickly.
"Boss, that's not right, you are trying to use us as a backstop!" A soldier with a sharp face quietly pulled over the leader who still had whip marks on his face.
"If the Ming army catches up, will the Left Prime Minister still care about the safety of us Han people?"
"We must be holding the Ming army back so that they can escape easily!"
The leader's face also turned pale. The Ming army was like wolves and tigers, and it wasn't like they didn't know it. A few days ago, a large group of people devised a strategy to surround Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongchang. After chewing for an hour, the Ming army's shield formation was like a hedgehog and could not be chewed off.
In the end, the fierce-looking and tight cavalry of Shanyang Wanhu were beaten away by a Ming army reinforcement of less than 10,000.
Their army was actually composed of Liaodong mountain bandits who were afraid of Naha's military power and were forced to surrender.
Their status in the military is extremely low. They usually serve as civilian envoys and have not fought many serious battles. Others eat dry food, while they can only get some thin food, and they have to be humiliated and looked down upon.
This time I was able to stand on the right wing, just in case there were ambushes on both sides of the Ming army, so that they could be used as cannon fodder to buffer them for a while.
"My dear, if the Ming army sees this guy and crushes him, will we become fans?"
"Even if we kneel down and beg for mercy, there are so many cavalry that are pressing down like a wall and they can't make a detour for us!"
The leader also turned pale. He had already seen Lan Yu's troops rushing into the formation from behind. Wherever his banner passed, the Yuan army almost fell down like wheat.
How could my grassroots team stop such a fierce army?
However, Naha over there was afraid that they would attract the attention of the Ming army, so he kept waving his riding whip and urging them more and more urgently. Many people were whipped and had to be spanked with their heels to run very fast.
But no matter how fast he runs, how can he compare to Naha Chu, who has four legs on his horse? After a while, he was out of breath from exhaustion. Naha was anxious and angry at the same time. He kept yelling curses, ranging from jabbering Mongolian curses to Han Chinese curses that affected his ancestors for eighteen generations. It was an unpleasant thing to hear.
Those bandits were also Han Chinese who worshiped their ancestors. Seeing that the Mongolians were scolding them on the graves of their ancestors, who among them was not furious? The leader gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Damn it, this Mongolian dog thief is bullying people too much. I have long disliked him."
"Now there are only about ten of them in total, but there are hundreds of us here. Even if ten of them are against him alone, that's enough!"
"Brothers, why don't you work together with me to capture this guy and send him back to the Ming Dynasty Prince? Are you afraid that he will lose his wealth and glory?"
"Why don't you dare!" Next to the leader, several pawns looked fierce. Someone said bitterly: "His grandma, the Ming Dynasty was a court built by Han people, and we are all Han people."
"If we can capture this thief, we will restore the glory of our ancestors! Even if he dies, the incense on his head when he worships his ancestors in the future must be ours!"
As soon as his words came out, they were even more exciting than the leader's "glory and wealth". A group of people immediately geared up and regarded Nahachu's head as a misty head.
"Then what are you waiting for? Take action!"
The leader and his people swarmed up, while Naha and his guards were busy running away, not expecting that these people would dare to resist.
It was also his destiny to make a mistake today. If he saw that these people were walking slowly and just let go of his horse's hooves, nothing would happen. However, he still thought about asking these people to die for him at the critical moment, and refused to flee directly. He even stayed on the spot and waited for them for a while.
As a result, the leader suddenly rushed forward, chopped off the horse's legs with a knife, and fell off the horse.
A group of personal guards did not expect that this unknown Han officer would dare to rebel. They only reacted when they saw Naha fell off his horse. But there was no choice. Naha stopped his horse and waited, and they also stopped their horses. The cavalry who didn't run were worse than dogs. The people behind them swarmed up and chopped them into pieces, including both men and horses, on the spot.
Nahachu was crushed by the horse and his legs were broken. He couldn't move at all on the ground, so those people took off his belt and tied Nahachu up. Then they used a spear to carry Nahachu happily like a New Year pig. I went to the Ming army to ask for rewards.
"..." Zhu Su looked at the white pig whose hands and feet were tied to the spear and felt that it was really a trick of fate.
At this time, Naha was in an extremely embarrassed state. Perhaps because his armor was too heavy to carry, these people simply stripped him of his armor, leaving him naked. A pair of expensive silk lining was also stripped off, and the white flesh on his body was touched by some wretched person. There were dirty fingerprints all over his body. By the way, I also stuffed my mouth with someone's smelly socks.
Sure enough, socks are the best choice for gag tools.
"...Take this man down, ask Dai Dai to have a look at him, and put him under safe custody." Nahachu had already fainted, and he didn't know whether it was from pain or from embarrassment and anger. Under such a situation, even if Zhu Su wanted to ridicule him, he couldn't say it out loud.
In history, Naha was so arrogant that even Lao Zhu would coax and beg him to surrender. Even when he surrendered, the entire army had to hold a banquet to show his courtesy. Among the generals, the standards are unparalleled.
Who would have thought that he would be "carried" to Ming Dynasty in such a humiliating manner?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, if we capture Nahachu, how much reward can we get?" The leader knelt on the ground and said with fear and expectation.
Lan Yu, who was standing next to Zhu Su, heard this and immediately laughed, "Hahahahaha, reward?"
"Didn't you listen to what the former army said? Naha is offering a reward of 10,000 gold to our Fifth Highness. Our Fifth Highness, Naha is offering a reward of 10,000 yuan!"
"Hey, I always have money. Judging from the appearance of that white pig, I'm afraid I'm going to lose money again. With that stupid look, even a penny is too much for us!"
"Ah?" The leader's face suddenly fell. A penny? Are the feudal officials of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty worth this much in the Ming Dynasty?
