At this moment, the city gates of Gyeongju are wide open.
The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were still making rice.
In their imagination, it was impossible for the Ming army to attack them in such horrible weather.
So it seems very relaxed.
But when the Ming army, covered with white snow and looking like ghosts, appeared in sight, the soldiers of Beiyuan were all stunned.
Lan Yu: Little brother, I’m here. Are you surprised or surprised?
Following Lan Yu's order, all the Ming army officers waved their sabers and attacked the enemy.
They had been simmering with anger for a long time, and when they saw that the enemy was still making rice, the anger became even greater.
Damn it, I can't even get a hot meal on this journey, but you still want to eat good food, what the hell!
Because the enemies stationed in Gyeongju were not prepared, they were caught off guard by the Ming army.
Yang Xuan, Chang Mao, and Wang Bi each led a group of troops and entered the city.
The enemy was not given time to deploy defenses.
Yang Xuan led his men to kill half of the city, making the enemy frightened.
The remaining enemies surrendered wisely.
Finally, he met Wang Bi and Chang Mao at the general's mansion in the city.
When Lan Yu entered the city, he saw Yang Xuan, Wang Bi, and Chang Mao with smiles on their faces.
Behind the two, there were two more people tied up.
"Uncle, this old boy is Bei Yuan Pingzhang Guolai, and the one next to him is his son, Bu Lanxi." Chang Mao pointed at the two tied people and said excitedly.
"Did you catch it?" Lan Yu asked.
"Uh...General Yang caught him." Chang Mao scratched his head and replied.
The main reason was that Yang Xuan was too cruel. After entering the city, he killed countless people. When Bei Yuan Ping Zhangguo came to see Yang Xuan, he was unstoppable. No one among his generals was his enemy.
In despair, he surrendered to him.
After hearing Chang Mao's words, Lan Yu looked at Yang Xuan. At this moment, the latter's armor looked like it had been soaked in blood.
However, due to the low temperature at this time, the blood had frozen on the armor.
"Brother, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Lan Yu asked with concern.
"Don't worry, the enemy who can hurt me hasn't been born yet!" Yang Xuan said with a smile, full of anger.
Seeing this, Lan Yu was relieved.
He smiled and said: "Haha, brother, you did a good job this time."
“I didn’t expect Gyeongju to be captured so easily.”
"Old Wang, what are the casualties?" Lan Yu turned to look at Wang Bi.
He has cooperated with Wang Bi for many years, and Wang Bi was his deputy every time.
So Lan Yu was very relieved about him.
"More than 500 people died in the battle, and the total number of lightly and seriously wounded was over 2,000."
Wang Bi answered, then glanced at Yang Xuan again, and continued: "Thanks to General Yang, the enemy's morale was shattered when they saw him. Otherwise, there would have been more casualties."
This is indeed the case. If Yang Xuan hadn't killed quickly and forced Bei Yuan Ping Zhangguo to surrender, once the enemy chose to fight in the street, the casualties would have increased.
"Well, we must place the wounded properly."
"Brothers who died in battle should be buried properly." Lan Yu ordered.
"Yes." Wang Bi said, clasping his fists. He has experience in this matter.
A group of people entered the general's mansion. Lan Yu wrote the battle report and ordered it to be delivered to Feng Sheng as quickly as possible.
Then order people to organize defense.
If Qingzhou is lost, Nahachu must take it back. Lan Yu's current task is to hold Qingzhou and wait to meet up with the main force of Feng Sheng's army.
Military orders are issued in an orderly manner, and Lan Yu's ability can be seen from here.
…
After Feng Sheng, who was far away in Tongzhou, received Lan Yu's battle report, he was overjoyed. Without any changes, he ordered his people to hurry up and send the good news to the capital in a hurry of 800 miles.
Then he reorganized his military equipment, left Songting Pass (Xifengkou) on the first day of March, and garrisoned troops in Daning (now Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia). (picture here)
During this period, Yuan Taiwei Naha Chu also sent light cavalry to raid Qingzhou with the intention of recapturing it.
However, Lan Yu had already made defense preparations, and Naha lost his troops and returned without success.
Because if he didn't leave, Feng Shengke would call him.
Naha went out to assemble his troops and horses, and deployed defenses in Jinshan (now northeast of Jilin and Shuangliao), preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army.
In the following two months, there were no large-scale battles between the two sides.
There were only a dozen encounters between the scouts from both sides, with both sides winning or losing.
If not fighting, what would Feng Sheng do?
While he was building cities, Lao Zhu ordered him to build four cities: Daning, Kuanhe (now Kuancheng, Hebei Province), Huizhou (now Pingquan, Hebei Province), and Fuyu (now Pingquan North, Hebei Province).
Of course, the main force is still in Daning, which is close to Gyeongju and Jinshan.
…
It's May.
May 21st.
Feng Sheng left 50,000 troops to garrison Daning and marched towards Jinshan.
At the same time, Lan Yu also left a small number of troops to garrison Qingzhou and led his main force to join Feng Sheng's army.
At this time, the weather has entered summer, which is suitable for a decisive battle.
More than 100,000 Ming troops prepared for a decisive battle with the Beiyuan army with the belief of victory.
On June 19, the army advanced to the east of the Liao River and captured 3,000 troops and more than 400 horses sent by Naha.
Subsequently, the army took advantage of the situation and stationed in the west of Jinshan Mountain.
Facing Jinshan, it put great pressure on Naha.
In the military camp, the soldiers looked up at Jinshan from time to time. They all knew that Naha Chu was there. That was Taiwei Yuan, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops.
There must be countless gold and silver and other good things on the Jinshan Mountain.
They are now waiting for the coach's order to attack and grab the spoils.
Although most of them have to be handed over in the end, there are quite a few that can be left behind.
This is an unspoken rule in the military. From the emperor, to the generals, to the soldiers, they have all reached a unified understanding.
However, the expectations of the soldiers were ultimately dashed.
Because Lao Zhu wants them all.
He sent a man to persuade Naha to surrender.
This man's name is Nailawu, and he is Nahachu's former subordinate.
When Naha came out and saw Nailawu, he was shocked: "You're not dead?"
Nailawu was captured by the Ming army in his early years and later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the old boss in front of me, Nailawu felt a lot of emotion for a moment.
The two chatted for a while, and then Nailawu revealed his purpose.
"Taiwei, His Majesty the Ming Emperor is destined by fate, let's surrender!"
"His Majesty sent me to persuade us to surrender this time, which shows his sincerity."
"Otherwise, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others would have led their troops to kill us long ago."
After listening to Nailawu's words and the promise given by Lao Zhu, Naha Chu felt shaken.
But after all, he still has 200,000 troops under his command. It would be too shameful to surrender so easily.
So, he only agreed verbally.
Nailawu didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that the task was completed.
However, within a few days, Nahachu regretted his decision and even fought with the Ming army.
The scale was small, and the Ming army was completely victorious.
Nahachu surrendered again.
However, it didn't take long for Naha to feel that he could do it again.
Regretted again.
Feng Sheng directly sent Lan Yu, Yang Xuan and other generals to annihilate all the enemies.
Naha was startled and said: It's just a joke, how can you be serious? (Here’s a picture, Azhen, are you serious?)
