Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1336 Cut off the beard
The sudden cavalry was none other than the Ming army led by Zhu Di and Ping An!

They followed the Oirat people all the way to the shores of Lake Baikal.

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

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

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

Their offensive was so fierce that it instantly tore a big hole in the chaotic and loose formation of the Oirat people!

The Oirat people had never expected to be attacked at this time. For a moment, their formation was in chaos and they retreated one after another in order to regain their balance.

Zhu Di took the opportunity to rush to the lake!

Seeing the Ming army rushing in front of them, the Oirat people by the lake woke up from their dreams. The two Oirat soldiers who had won the prize hurriedly pulled the lassoes and tried to get Toghon Temur and Tianbaonu onto their horses.

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

The Ming army soldiers also raised their bows and drew their arrows. Although the enemy opened their bows at the same time, the Ming army's arrows were shot first, and their accuracy was terrifying!
At such a close distance, the soldiers of Yanshan Zuowei almost hit their targets with every shot. The Wala soldiers were shot in the face and torso, and fell off their horses with screams.

Zhu Di did not draw his bow. Under the cover of Zhang Yu and others, he increased his horse's speed to the maximum and rushed straight to the Oirat. The crescent-shaped sword in his hand flew up and down. In an instant, he chopped down five or six Oirat soldiers and came to the Oirat who captured Toghon Temur.

The man was trying to pull Toghon Temur onto the horse with both hands when he saw the ferocious black-faced general already 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 did not waste time on him. He immediately killed him with his sword, solving his troubles forever.

As the Wala soldier's head and body were torn apart, Toghon Temur fell heavily into the water again. The horse, without its master, was frightened and ran away, dragging him into the water again.

It was only when Zhu Di cut off the lasso with a knife that Toghon Temur stopped, broke free from the lasso, sat in the water, and started coughing violently. His stomach was swollen and water was spraying out of his nose, obviously because he had drunk enough water.

At this time, another Wala soldier had already put Tianbaonu on horseback and was about to gallop away.

Seeing this, Zhu Di shouted, "Sixth son, shoot him!"

"Okay!" Xue Liu, who was incredibly strong, drew his hard bow and shot an eagle feather arrow in the direction of the prince's finger, nailing the Wala soldier and his horse to the ground, and then stepped forward to rescue Tian Baonu.

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

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

"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded affirmatively: "Back in Helin, I stood guard for him."

"It's Zhang Zhiyuan." Toghon Temur also recognized Zhang Yu and said with a wry smile, "No wonder I couldn'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 any wine?" Toghon Temur did not ask who he was, but only asked if he had any wine.

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

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

The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that the Northern Yuan Emperor was so abstract. 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 powerful smell of alcohol.

He took two deep breaths in ecstasy and sighed, "I haven't smelled such good old wine in many years."

Then he couldn't wait to take two swigs. Although he was an old alcoholic, he still choked on the alcohol-level liquor and his face turned red. Toghon Temur wiped his mouth, covered the wine pot, put it in his arms, and took a long breath and said, "Great! Now I have no regrets in death..."

"Since I saved you, you won't die." Zhu Di said calmly, and then ordered Zhang Yu: "Keep an eye on him."

After saying this, he led his army back to the enemy camp and attacked the Wala soldiers from both sides together with Ping An.

Ping An, who had used his unparalleled skill, had already made the Oirat soldiers cry out for help and were unable to bear it. Zhu Di, Xue Liu and other fierce generals joined in, and the Oirat soldiers were completely unable to hold out. They were slaughtered by the Ming army in a short time, leaving behind thousands of corpses and fleeing in panic.

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

The messenger immediately sounded the horn, and the Ming army soldiers who heard the signal stopped their pursuit 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 then asked, "You are the son of the Ming Dynasty emperor, right?"

"That's right." Zhu Di nodded and said seriously: "Remember, the one who captured you is the fourth son of Emperor Hongwu 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 Your Highness the Prince of Yan found me?"

"Put yourself in my shoes. If I were at the end of my rope and alone, I would definitely choose this place as my burial place." Zhu Di said calmly.

"That makes sense." Toghon Temur 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 gather 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 do. I want to drink for a few more years. But that's the truth."

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

"Okay." Toghon Temur agreed immediately.

"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. Ping An also came to Zhu Di and said with a feeling of lingering desire:

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

"There is no time. We must move quickly." Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "The large force of the Oirat people may attack us at any time. If it is too late, we will not be able to escape."

"Is that so?" Ping An had completely stopped thinking and just followed Zhu Di's advice. "Then let's go."

"Don't be impatient." Zhu Di said to him, "Let the horses drink some water first."

"Okay." Ping An patted the horse's butt and let it go to the lake to drink water. He 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 Beihai where Su Wu grazed his sheep, and it is also the vast sea where Guanjun Hou once drank water from his horse."

"Wow!" Ping An was immediately excited. To be like Huo Qubing, conquering the Wolf's Lair and drinking water from the vast sea, this is the highest achievement that every Chinese military general dreams of!
"Then I must have a couple of good drinks!" He ran to the lake and scooped up a handful of clear lake water.

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

When Ping An and his horse had drunk their fill, Zhu Di took a deep look at the most beautiful blue and said in a deep voice, "Retreat!"
