Chapter 494: The Northern Yuan Imperial Court’s Response(1/2)
Yuan army garrison.
When Nai'er, who had fled Yuning City with a group of his men and was preparing to join the army, rushed back to the station without stopping, he saw a tragic scene in the station.
"what happened?!"
"what happened?!"
Nai'er Buhua looked at the camp that was still filled with thick smoke because the food and grass had been burned, and asked loudly.
"General, last night the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty raided our military base and killed hundreds of generals on sight. They killed and injured hundreds of generals, and most of the food and grass were burned to death!"
A deputy general walked out of the crowd and reported to Nai'er Fuhua with a solemn expression.
"Jinyiwei?!"
"Hu Fei again!?"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Nai'er turned pale instantly and gritted his teeth.
Originally, in order to avoid the assassination by the Jin Yiwei, he hurriedly led his people back to the station, but unexpectedly, before he arrived, Hu Fei had already led the Jin Yiwei to attack the army station.
Such a vigorous and resolute Jin Yiwei, who came and went like a ghost, made Nai'er Buhua extremely fearful, and the fear of Hu Fei became deeper and deeper in her heart.
There was Xu Da in front of him and Hu Fei in the back. He knew that Bei Yuan had met a real opponent this time.
But before he could calm down and figure out how to deal with it next, there was a burst of panicked footsteps, and one of his men quickly rushed in front of him.
"Report to the General! What's wrong, the spies discovered that a large number of Ming troops are rushing towards our army station!"
The subordinate looked at Naierbuhua with a panicked look and said.
"The Ming army launched an attack!"
Nai'er Buhua's heart sank and she couldn't help blurting out.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd suddenly became panicked, and everyone looked nervous.
"Why are you still standing there!? Get ready to face the enemy!"
Nai'er Buhua gritted her teeth, stared at the crowd and shouted sharply.
Following Nai'er Buhua's order, the Yuan army quickly gathered and immediately started a confrontation with the vanguard of the Ming army, and soon they were fighting together.
However, due to the lack of hundreds of generals and generals in the Yuan army, it was impossible to deploy them in a unified manner, and it didn't take long for them to be defeated!
After the Ming army arrived, the Yuan army was quickly defeated and fled madly.
Nai'er Buhua had no choice but to order the troops to retreat. He led the newly recovered and incomplete army to fight and retreat all the way to the north of Fanyang City. It was not until he retreated to the outside of Yuning City that he relied on the steep terrain to stabilize his position.
After the decline, we struggled to support ourselves.
There was Hu Fei's assassination before, and Xu Da's troops came forward later. The Beiyuan army was defeated again!
...
Peking City.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
Shen An hurriedly walked into the hall holding a piece of intelligence that had just been sent back from the front line.
"Your Highness King Yan, there is news from the north!"
Shen An saluted Zhu Di and said loudly, his voice a little excited.
The joy of victory is something that no one in the army can hold back.
"Good news or bad news?!"
Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"Your Highness, this is good news!"
"An Guogong led the Jinyi Guards to first destroy Chunqiu Tang's contact point in Yuning City, and then led people to break into the Beiyuan Army's garrison at night, killing hundreds of generals and generals of the Yuan Army, causing heavy losses to the Yuan Army!"
"Immediately afterwards, General Xu led our army to fight and directly attacked Zhu Di, the Northern Yuan army. The Yuan army was defeated, abandoned Fanyang City, and has retreated to the Yuning City area!"
Shen An said excitedly, and then respectfully handed the information in his hand to Zhu Di's hand.
Looking at the information in his hand, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile with approval on his face and nodded frequently.
"Okay! Okay! Great!"
"As expected of Hu Fei, what a trick to treat the other person in his own way! This trick is used well and wonderfully!"
"I didn't expect that he and Xu Da cooperated so well! They captured Fanyang City so quickly!"
After Zhu Di read the information, he couldn't help but exclaimed with excitement.
Perhaps he was not the only one to be so surprised. Perhaps even Xu Da and Hu Fei themselves did not expect that with their combination, they could easily capture Fanyang City.
Fanyang City is the largest city on the border and is very important to Beiyuan. It is likely to be the watershed of this Northern Expedition!
Capturing Fanyang City is crucial to this Northern Expedition! Far more important than the ten cities captured previously!
But then, Zhu Di suddenly felt a little lost.
Originally, he wanted to personally participate in the Northern Expedition, but in the end he was rejected by his father, and he couldn't help but feel jealous of Hu Fei.
If he was also in the northern border at this time, he might have already made great achievements in battle!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Shen An looked at Zhu Di who was suddenly depressed, and suddenly understood something in his heart. He quickly put away the excitement on his face and said no more.
"Okay, you go down first and pay close attention to the movements in the north. If there is any news, please report it in time."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said slowly.
Although he could not participate in this Northern Expedition, he was still looking forward to what would happen next.
Shen An agreed respectfully and slowly exited the hall.
Zhu Di slowly walked to the door of the hall and looked towards the north with a slightly helpless expression.
...
Outside Yuning City.
Yuan army garrison.
In the big tent, Nai'er Buhua sat on a chair with a sad face, looking at the cities on the sand table that had been lost from his hands since the beginning of the war, his whole heart sank.
With the battle going like this, even if he survives the battle in the end, I'm afraid the imperial court will not let him go after he returns to the capital.
Thinking of this, Nai'er sighed helplessly and thought about how to deal with it.
At this moment, a voice came from outside asking for someone to see him.
"Come in!"
Nai'er Buhua looked up and said impatiently.
Immediately afterwards, a deputy general walked in quickly.
"Reporting to the general, news just came from the capital. The imperial court is very dissatisfied with the recent war. Prince Lebbock has been sent to the border town to supervise the war. He will arrive soon!"
The deputy general bowed his hands and said loudly.
"It's just adding to the chaos! Can he go into battle in person?! He's coming with a knife!"
"It seems that the imperial court is preparing to find someone to punish the crime!"
Nai'er Buhua frowned and said solemnly, her face a little gloomy.
"Prince Lebbock has sent an order for the main generals in the army to come to Yuning City to welcome you and meet with all the generals!"
At this time, the deputy general said again.
"really!"
Nai'er Buhua narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice.
He knew that going to Yuning City would probably not be that easy to deal with.
"When will the prince arrive in Yuning City?!"
Nai'er Buhua frowned and thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and asked.
"Three days later!"
The deputy general said respectfully.
"I know, let's get down!"
Nai'er Buhua nodded, waved his hand, and signaled the deputy general to step back.
Immediately afterwards, Naierbuhua fell into deep thought. He had to find a way to pass the prince's test, and he could not put all the responsibility for the defeat on himself.
