Chapter 605 Battle of Baigou River
"So he said the same thing to his subordinates, probably to boost morale. Not long after, the Yan army set off, crossed the Yuma River, and camped at Sujiaqiao."
"More than two hundred years ago, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was also a battle at the Baigou River, although the Song army performed poorly and even made a fool of themselves."
Everyone in the Song Dynasty: Don't think of them now!
"The battle between Li Jinglong and Prince Yan Zhu Di today is far larger in scale than the battle between the Song and Liao dynasties. On April 20, the two armies faced each other across the river."
"It is said that it rained heavily at the time, and the water level was more than two feet deep on the flat ground. Zhu Di only took the initiative to attack after the weather cleared up three days later."
"Perhaps these three days were the last peaceful time in the lives of many soldiers. On the 24th, the weather cleared up, and Zhu Di summoned his generals to give his final speech before the battle, which was the series of comments mentioned earlier."
The people of Wanchao: I must say, the Prince of Yan was quite adept at handling things before the war started!
"Among Li Jinglong's army on the opposite side, there is a general named Ping An who had accompanied the Prince of Yan on his campaign years ago and was familiar with the Prince of Yan's military tactics. Before the attack, Zhu Di fired cannons on the east bank of the river, making people mistakenly believe that the Yan army was about to cross the river to attack."
"Actually, the troops were dispatched from the northwest along the river, and the Baihegou River flows from the northwest to the southeast, meaning the northwest is the upstream direction. When it comes to war, who wouldn't choose terrain that is advantageous to their side?!"
On the other end of the screen, Li Jinglong, upon hearing this, felt a sense of foreboding. "No way, no way, could this be another moment of glory for the Prince of Yan?!"
Just as he was trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, he heard that Zhu Di had been ambushed!
Li Jinglong: Prince Yan, even you have moments of being humiliated?!
"However, the Prince of Yan thought he had fooled Li Jinglong, but he did not expect that a general had already led tens of thousands of cavalry to ambush him. The leader of the army was none other than the Prince of Yan's old acquaintance, Ping An."
"It was before the war began that Zhu Di made his declaration of war, in which he described Ping An as stubborn and self-willed. He was brave and skilled in battle, and not easy to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's inner self was excited. He had always been on his side, but he couldn't beat his fourth uncle. Finally, it was his fourth uncle's turn to suffer a setback. Just for this reason, he had to watch the show!
As for the rest, don't be ridiculous. The winner is Fourth Uncle. He has absolutely no hope of being his historical self!
Zhu Di, who was almost stung by everyone's gazes: What?! What's wrong with me, as his uncle, giving way to my nephew?!
Before the two armies clashed, Zhu Di maintained his usual demeanor: "Peaceful brat, my former little brother who followed me beyond the Great Wall, is useless to me today. I will surely terrify him!"
"Immediately afterwards, the two armies sent out their elite cavalry to charge at each other. Zhu Di personally led his elite troops to circle around to Ping An's rear, trying to form a pincer attack. Geng Bingwen probably had a taste of this move by the Prince of Yan in the past."
Geng Bingwen: "..."
"Ping An, as the leader, was very brave, and the Yan army was at a disadvantage in terms of manpower. By the way, the eunuchs around Zhu Di were extremely brave, such as Zheng He and this Gou'er."
"In this battle, the eunuch Gou'er and the commander Gu Yun also rushed to the front, trying to break the enemy's formation. That's why Li Jinglong's commander He Qing was captured by them!"
In another timeline, Zhu Yuanzhang said sarcastically, "Hmph, eunuchs, Fourth Prince, and all the powerful eunuchs behind you, they all have to thank you!"
"Without you, they would never have had a chance to rise to the top!"
"And your good great-grandson, just thinking about him makes me furious!"
Zhu Di remained silent. He was in the wrong here. Something was wrong! Why should he take the blame for the mess his descendants made?
He even wanted to go find that Jiajing Emperor. He doesn't even know what his ancestors wanted. What kind of descendant is he?
