Chapter 1336: Interception

The cavalry that suddenly appeared was the Ming army led by Zhu Di and Ping An!

They followed the Wala people all the way to the shore of Lake Baikal.

As soon as they arrived at the lake, they saw the father and son being chased to the lakeside and desperate. Zhu Di made a prompt decision and immediately divided the work with Ping An.

"You stop the Wala people, I'll go to save people!" Zhu Di said as he took off his crescent-shaped sword.

"Okay!" Ping An responded and also held the iron spear in his hand. The two led their respective subordinates and rushed towards the Wala cavalry who were watching the excitement like an arrow from a string.

Their offensive was extremely fierce, and in an instant, they tore a big hole in the Wala people's messy and loose formation!

The Wala people did not expect to be attacked at this time. For a time, their formation was in chaos and they retreated one after another to stabilize their position again.

Zhu Di took the opportunity to rush to the lakeside!

Seeing the Ming army rushing to their eyes, the Wala people on the lakeside woke up from their dreams. The two Wala soldiers who won the prize hurriedly tried to collect the lassos, trying to get Toghon Temur and Tianbaonu on horseback.

The companions around them also quickly bent their bows and shot arrows at the enemy, trying to buy them time.

The Ming army soldiers also raised their bows and shot arrows. The enemy clearly shot their bows at the same time, but the Ming army's arrows were shot first, and they were terribly accurate!

At such a close distance, the soldiers of Yanshan Zuowei almost hit the target every time. The Wala soldiers were shot in the face and torso, and they screamed and fell off their horses.

Zhu Di did not shoot his bow. Under the cover of Zhang Yu and others, he increased the speed of his horse to the fastest and rushed directly to the Wala people. The crescent-shaped sword in his hand flew up and down, and in an instant he chopped down five or six Wala soldiers and came to the Wala man who caught Toghon Temur.

The man was trying to pull Toghon Temur onto the horse with both hands, and saw that the ferocious black-faced general had already arrived in front of him.

He opened his mouth in astonishment, wanting to abandon his prey and run away, but he couldn't bear to do so...

Zhu Di didn't waste time with him, and with a knife, he solved his troubles forever.

With the head and body of the Wala soldier separated, Toghon Temur fell heavily into the water again. The horse, without its master, ran away in fear, dragging him in the water again.

Zhu Di still cut off the lasso pole with a knife, and Toghon Temur stopped, broke free from the lasso and sat in the water, coughing violently. His stomach was bulging, and water was spraying out of his nose, obviously he had drunk enough water.

At this time, another Wala soldier had already put Tianbaonu on the horse's back and was about to gallop away.

Zhu Di saw this and shouted: "Sixth son, shoot him!"

"Okay!" Xue Liu, who was amazingly strong, opened his hard bow and shot a feather arrow in the direction of the prince's finger, nailing the Wala soldier to the ground with his horse, and then stepped forward to rescue Tianbaonu.

Zhang Yu also led the crowd to clear the surrounding Wala soldiers and stopped beside Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at Toghon Temur sitting in the water, and really couldn't see any characteristics of the emperor, so he had to ask Zhang Yu: "Is it him?"

"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded affirmatively: "I stood guard for him in Helin back then."

"It turned out to be Zhang Zhiyuan." Toghon Temur also recognized Zhang Yu, and said with a wry smile: "No wonder I can't get rid of you."

Zhang Yu smiled calmly and said nothing.

Zhu Di asked coldly: "Let's talk about the past later. Let me ask you, are you willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Do you have wine?" Toghon Temur didn't ask who he was, but only asked if he had wine.

"If you surrender, you will have it." Zhu Di said.

"Then I will surrender." Toghon Temur said simply.

Zhu Di's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that the Northern Yuan emperor was so abstract, so he took out a silver pot from the first aid kit on the saddle and threw it to him.

Toghon Temur took it with both hands, unscrewed the lid, and smelled a strong and strong smell of alcohol.

He took two deep breaths in intoxication, sighed: "I haven't smelled such a good old liquor in many years."

Then he couldn't wait to drink two mouthfuls. Although he was an old alcoholic, his face was still choked by the alcohol-level liquor.

Toghon Temur wiped his mouth, covered the wine pot, put it in his arms, and took a long breath and said: "It's great! Now I have no regrets in dying..."

"Since I saved you, you can't die." Zhu Di said lightly, and then ordered Zhang Yu: "Watch him."

After speaking, he led his army to gallop back to the army, and attacked the Wala soldiers from both sides with Ping An.

An Ping, who had opened the unparalleled, had already made the Wala soldiers cry for their parents and couldn't bear it. Zhu Di and Xue Liu and other fierce generals joined again, and the Wala soldiers couldn't stand it anymore. They were killed by the Ming army in a short time, leaving thousands of corpses and fleeing in a hurry.

"Don't chase!" Zhu Di pulled the reins and ordered.

The messenger immediately sounded the horn, and the Ming army soldiers who heard the signal stopped chasing and retreated to the lake.

At this time, Zhang Yu brought Toghon Temur and his son to Zhu Di.

"How is it?" Zhu Di asked Toghon Temur.

"Great." Toghon Temur praised and asked, "You are the son of the Ming Dynasty emperor, right?"

"Yes." Zhu Di nodded and said seriously, "Remember, the one who captured you is the fourth son of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Prince of Yan Zhu Di!"

"Don't worry, I will never forget it." Toghon Temur smiled and asked, "I just don't know how His Royal Highness Prince of Yan found me?"

"Put yourself in my shoes. If I am at the end of my rope and I am left alone, I will definitely use this place as my burial place." Zhu Di said lightly.

"That makes sense." Toghon Temur suddenly smiled and said, "It's a pity that it's useless for Your Highness to find me. The Oirat people were just caught off guard. They came with 80,000 troops, but I separated them. When they get together, we will still be dead."

"That's not important. What's important is whether you want to live?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, I want to drink for a few more years. But this is the fact."

"Then you open your eyes and watch how I bring you and your son back to the Ming Dynasty safely." Zhu Di said proudly.

"Okay." Toghon Temur agreed at once.

"Also, don't call yourself 'I' anymore." Zhu Di ordered again: "You are not qualified."

"..." Toghon Temur was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand."

~~

Toghon Temur and his son were taken away by Zhang Yu, and Ping An also came to Zhu Di, still unsatisfied:

"Why don't you chase them? I haven't killed enough."

"There is no time, we must move quickly." Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "The large forces of the Oirat people may rush over at any time, and we can't leave if it's too late."

"Is that so." Ping An had completely stopped thinking, and he said whatever Zhu Di said. "Then let's go quickly."

"Don't worry." Zhu Di said to him: "Let the horse drink some water first."

"Okay." Ping An patted the warhorse's butt and let it go to the lake to drink water by itself. Asked: "Anything else to say?"

"That's right." Zhu Di nodded, looking at the endless blue lake in front of him affectionately and said: "This is the North Sea where Su Wu grazed sheep, and it is also the vast sea where Guanjun Hou once drank horses."

"Wow!" Ping An was immediately excited. Like Huo Qubing, he sealed the wolf's lair and drank horses from the vast sea. This is the highest achievement that every Chinese general dreams of!

"Then you must drink a few sips!" He also ran to the lake and scooped up a handful of clear lake water.

Zhu Di wanted to stop him but failed, so he had to let him go.

When Ping An and his horse were full, Zhu Di took a deep look at the most beautiful blue and said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"
