Chapter 82: Ask for credit for Zhu Ying!
"General."

"Jincheng was breached?" Lan Yu's voice was filled with disbelief.

Looking at Lan Yu's shocked expression.

Feng Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, Jincheng has been breached."

"What did the general just say about Zhu Ying?"

"Was it Zhu Ying, who returned from the Northern Frontier, who conquered Jincheng?"

"That's impossible."

"Didn't he just lead a cavalry unit? How do you attack a city? How do you break it?"

"Is this battle report wrong?" Lan Yu asked again.

Even he, who had commanded troops and fought in many campaigns for many years, could not imagine how the cavalry had managed to break through and capture the city.

"Read this battle report."

Feng Sheng smiled and felt a lot more relaxed at this moment.

He handed the battle report in his hand to the commander of the personal guards beside him.

The latter took it, immediately opened the battle report, and said loudly: "This general, Fu Youde, reports to the general."

"After half a month of arduous battles, our army suffered heavy casualties due to the Yuan army's strong defenses and was unable to advance! When the battle was going poorly, General Zhu Ying of the First Cavalry Battalion of Daning volunteered to join the attack. Using his cavalry, he bravely broke through Jincheng and entered the city. After a day and night of fierce fighting, he finally captured Jincheng! General Zhu Ying personally beheaded the Jincheng commander, Prince Manjier of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

"We have achieved the result of destroying the city and killing the generals."

"I will ask for merit on behalf of General Zhu Ying and report to Emperor Yingtian, asking for reward." The voice of the commander of the personal guards sounded in the tent.

Hearing this battle report.

The expressions of many generals in the tent changed slightly.

Even Lan Yu is no exception.

"How did he manage to break into the city with cavalry?" Lan Yu asked with some confusion and doubt.

Jincheng and Kaiyuan City were both barriers set up by Nahachu. The military strength and strength of the cities were similar.

Commanding the attack for so long.

The city gate could not be broken open even after being attacked by battering rams. The city gate was strong, and the city tower was even more heavily guarded. Climbing up meant facing an endless stream of Yuan troops.

cavalry?

Although the raid was fast, it was possible to approach the city at a very fast speed.

But how could the cavalry break through the gate? How could they ascend the city walls?

Without siege equipment.

Facing the thousands of arrows falling from the city walls, you are a sitting duck.

now.

Lan Yu's eyes fell on the personal guard sent by Fu Youde to report the battle.

"Reply to Marquis Yongchang."

"How to break the city? Only General Zhu Ying knows."

"But the story of breaking the city and beheading the Yuan general Manjier is true."

"Now Jincheng has been controlled by our army. We have already surrounded and eliminated the remaining Yuan troops in the city. The overall situation has been decided." Fu Youde's personal guard said respectfully.

Hearing this affirmative answer.

Lan Yu's face turned very ugly.

Originally, Zhu Ying’s victory in defeating the Jianzhou Tartars in the northern border had already been highly valued by the Emperor of Yingtian. Now he had even captured Jincheng and killed Manjier.

no doubt.

This was definitely not good news for his Huaixi generals.

As a leading figure among the Huaixi generals, even though he was arrogant and domineering, Lan Yu also knew the urgency of the situation.

He led his troops to attack for half a month but failed to capture the city. Fu Youde led his troops to attack for half a month but failed to capture the city.

Zhu Ying, who had returned from the northern border less than ten days ago, led the cavalry to capture the city.

If this were reported to Yingtian, what would the current emperor think? How would he view it?
This would further strengthen the imperial power's plan to support Zhu Ying, and also find a general to replace them in the Huaixi army.

"What are Zhao Yong and Wang Bi doing?"

"Why was Zhu Ying allowed to lead the troops to attack the city? And he actually managed to break through the city."

"Damn it." Lan Yu cursed in his heart.

Although he didn't see Zhao Yong and the others at the moment, if he did, Lan Yu would definitely curse at them.

This is the case.

Any general from Huaixi can lead the troops to break the city, but Zhu Ying must not be allowed to lead the troops to break the city!
This was a slap in the face of all the Huaixi generals.

"General."

"I feel that this victory requires careful consideration before reporting it to the Emperor."

Coming back to his senses, Lan Yu said respectfully to Feng Sheng.

"Do you suspect that Duke Ying's battle report is wrong?"

Feng Sheng looked at Lan Yu with some displeasure.

"I dare not." "It's just that Jincheng has just been conquered, and the specific results of the battle and the casualties have not been counted yet. It would be better to report them after these are counted." Lan Yu replied respectfully, and naturally found another excuse.

now.

He also delayed as much as possible for the sake of delaying.

There is no other way.

It would be best to delay until he captures Kaiyuan City, so that there will be a chance to get away with it.

Feng Sheng glanced at Lan Yu and immediately understood his intention.

"We have been attacking Liaodong for half a month but have made no progress. We have suffered heavy casualties and have achieved nothing."

"The Emperor is already angry."

"We finally achieved victory this time but didn't report it. Does Marquis Yongchang want to wait for the emperor's order to punish us?" Feng Sheng said unhappily.

"I dare not." Lan Yu could only reply.

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's majesty, how could Lan Yu dare to disobey his will.

"Immediately send an urgent report to Yingtian to report the battle."

"Submit the complete report of Zhu Ying's achievements and the results of the battle at Jincheng."

"I would like to ask for credit for Zhu Ying in my name." Feng Sheng immediately said to the commander of the personal guards beside him.

"I obey your orders." The commander of the personal guards responded immediately.

Lan Yu, who was sitting under the tent, clenched his fists, feeling very dissatisfied.

this moment!
Perhaps the fundamental reason why Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng as the general and Lan Yu and Fu Youde as his assistants has appeared.

Because Feng Sheng was a capable general in Huaixi and not overbearing, he could suppress a powerful general like Lan Yu.

He came here mainly for supervision.

If not.

Given the personalities of those brave generals like Lan Yu, there must be something wrong.

"General Lan."

"Now the Golden City has been broken."

"The barrier set up by Nahachu has collapsed. Next, the defense of Kaiyuan City will be affected by Jincheng. You must seize the opportunity and attack with all your strength." Feng Sheng ordered Lan Yu with a serious expression.

"The last general takes orders."

Lan Yu bowed, but his expression was grim.

now.

Zhu Ying has already received the credit.

Even if we won the victory of capturing Kaiyuan City, it would not seem so important.

no doubt.

This was definitely a blow to Lan Yu.

"Zhu Ying."

"Perhaps the current emperor and the crown prince really have a keen eye for talent."

"This kid is really amazing."

"How did the cavalry break through the city?"

"And the defenses of Jincheng are so strict."
