Chapter 617 Judy: We're here to save you!
Lin Ke continued, "Since the Prince of Yan had a plan, the next day both sides set up long battle formations. Although it was said that the imperial army could not engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the Yan army like the one at Baigou River."
"But the Battle of Dongchang this time was also quite large in scale, and although He Fu was erased from the book 'History of Ming' and other books and instead attributed to Tie Xuan, he should not be underestimated."
He Fu: ? ? ?
"On the Yan army side, this time Zhu Di chose to lead elite cavalry with Zhu Gaoxu and others to carry out a flanking maneuver on the left flank, while the battle formation was handed over to Zhang Yu for command."
"Simply put, Zhu Gaochi and his men first attacked the left flank of the government army. Once they had created chaos and distracted the enemy, Zhu Di himself led a portion of cavalry to maneuver between the rear army and Dongchang City, directly behind the main forces of He Fu and Sheng Yong."
The familiar detours and tactics made the Ming Dynasty generals, including Hongwu, realize that the central army was probably well-prepared, which was why the Prince of Yan was in trouble.
Zhu Yunwen said quietly, "Fourth Uncle, he is used to using roundabout and evasive tactics."
At this moment, Prince Qin, Zhu Shuang, put his arm around Zhu Di's shoulder and added with a loud laugh, "Fourth Prince, you've been set up this time!"
Zhu Di: “…”
Following that, Lin Ke continued, "But this time, the Prince of Yan's plan to sneak up behind people and steal their base didn't work."
"Because Sheng Yong and He Fu had already prepared a large number of troops for the Prince of Yan and his cronies!"
"Goodness, the sheer number of people is just like when we go to tourist attractions during holidays—all we see are heads!"
At this point, Lin Ke thought of the overcrowded tourist attractions in various places, then searched for a few videos and selected some to play.
After that, what lay before them was—the Great Wall with its incredibly long queues and heads everywhere; the Forbidden City with its endless lines of people; and artifacts that were practically pressed against their faces…
The comments section at this moment:
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty: How dare this! My palace! It has attracted so many people!
Judy, the General Who Conquers the North: What do you mean, "your palace"? That's our palace! You habitual stamp-stamping thief!
Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty: ...
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: It's all heads, heads, heads! We don't even have this many when we fight!
Liu Zhuzhu (Big Han): Damn it! The Terracotta Army has more visitors than the day the Six Kingdoms were conquered! Doesn't Maoling have any?!
Six Kingdoms: Thanks for the invitation, but I don't understand, I really don't understand!
……
A moment later, Lin Ke sighed again, "That's why it's already hard to move when people are packed together; imagine how it would be during a war."
"Moreover, at that time, just as Zhu Di led his personal guards in a fierce charge and broke through the first line of defense of the central army, other soldiers quickly filled in, and the right wing of the government army also came to support."
"Seeing that the Prince of Yan was in trouble, I sighed again at Zhu Gaochi's bravery. He was on the left flank, launching fierce attacks and holding back the left army."
"This forced He Fu and his men to send out a group of people to provide support, which gave Zhu Di an opportunity. He managed to break through the encirclement from the southwest corner."
Upon hearing this, the other princes couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. The fourth prince was one thing, but how come even the second son was so capable?
Then look at the proud fourth brother/fourth brother, hmph, you brat!
"The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was known as the Yongle Emperor because of his exceptional military skills. During this breakout, one of his personal guards fell behind, his horse was shot, and they were soon attacked by government troops."
"However, the Prince of Yan, as the leader, did not abandon him. He turned around with his personal guards and, without the slightest hesitation, rushed in and repelled the attacking government troops. Then he pulled the younger brother onto his own horse and broke out of the encirclement!"
"Perhaps in that moment there was a clash of swords, but the brave and fearless Prince Yan, who was willing to save his subordinates, would deeply move anyone who saw it and would swear to be loyal to him to the death!"
"Because the Prince of Yan was worthy, no wonder he was able to conquer the world! No wonder he was called the Yongle Emperor!"
