Chapter 600 Transport Captain - Li Jinglong
Chapter 600 Transport Captain - Li Jinglong
Upon hearing this, the princes breathed a sigh of relief. They had almost thought that their fourth brother was just like Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with such good luck that his opponents were utterly defeated!
At that moment, Zhu Di, unaware of his brother's complex thoughts, instead wore a look of "As expected of me." Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt an urge to slap him on the head.
Zhu Biao smiled without saying a word, but gently patted Zhu Di on the head.
.....
"The other force by the river was led by Chen Hui, who had been dispatched by Li Jinglong long ago, with over ten thousand cavalry to wait for the Prince of Yan. But this kid's plan has completely backfired on Judy."
"As he planned, the Prince of Yan's army would cross the river at night, never expecting that this group was right behind them, and that there was a main force ahead of them. Hmph, if we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think they're Liu Xiu!"
"But Zhu Di knew that Li Jinglong's main force was ahead, so wouldn't he be vigilant? Having come this far, how could he not be cautious? Besides, he's very skilled in military strategy!"
Lin Ke gave a thumbs up and continued, "So Chen Hui's plan collapsed. He wanted to make dumplings, but the dumplings were too small and could be swallowed in one bite."
In another timeline, a young Zhu Di scratched his head, a little shy, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I'm not that amazing, hehe!"
The other princes chuckled and said, "Why don't you lower your lips before you speak?"
"So, Chen Hui foolishly followed the Prince of Yan, never considering that the Prince was faking it. Now, Chen Hui was caught off guard, while the Prince of Yan was caught off guard. He tried to make dumplings but ended up getting beaten instead."
"The whole process was extremely brutal. Chen Hui and his group were surrounded and had nowhere to run. Then, another coincidence occurred."
"Because of the large number of people, and the stampede that caused a life-or-death struggle, the ice on the river broke, and many people drowned in an instant. Chen Hui was the only one who escaped with his life."
Zhu Yunwen remained silent. Were his teammates too incompetent, or was it because his fourth uncle was too strong? Was the heavens on his side this time?!
"After dealing with Chen Hui, Zhu Di's army marched straight towards Li Jinglong without stopping. Speaking of him, it must be said that Zhu Di's timing in returning to reinforce was perfect."
"At this time, Li Jinglong's army, which had been unable to break through for a long time, was also in a bad situation. In the dead of winter, some of the southern soldiers could not adapt to the northern climate."
"Soldiers stood in the snow for a long time, and many froze to death. Some were even unable to hold their weapons. So the outcome was clear: the Prince of Yan defeated the enemy army. Li Jinglong's army fled in disarray, abandoning their armor and weapons. The baggage of hundreds of thousands of people was thus captured by the Prince of Yan."
At this moment, Li Jinglong wished he could disappear into a hole; this was like a public execution!
Regardless of the process, Li Jinglong, if he were to flee during the Jingnan Campaign and send horses and supplies to the Prince of Yan, it would make him look like he was actually giving gifts to the Prince of Yan!
No wonder people call him an undercover agent; if he were an undercover agent, why didn't he let things slide?!
Thinking of this, Old Li was filled with bitter tears. It wasn't that he was useless; it was just that the Prince of Yan was too powerful!
"However, Li Jinglong did manage to escape, perhaps because he had too many soldiers and was oblivious to the dangers, he decisively withdrew to Dezhou. Zhu Di, on the other hand, gained a great deal of supplies and weapons, as well as surrendered soldiers in this battle."
"When we got there, Zhu Di said, 'Don't pursue them. Release all those who surrender. Besides, it's freezing cold. Don't kill too many people. Let's gather around the fire and warm ourselves!'"
"This leader, this scene—who wouldn't be confused in this situation?!"
