On a hill outside the south gate of the ancient city of Dunhuang, Li Yuntian stood under the night sky silently looking at the ancient city of Dunhuang with the sound of killing and fire, whether he could win the ancient city of Dunhuang was related to the safety of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the battle of the ancient city of Dunhuang must not make the slightest mistake, otherwise the situation in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty will be extremely critical, and the Lanzhou defense line of Zhou Zheng cannot stop the army of hundreds of thousands of Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

Not far behind Li Yuntian, Yun Na, who was standing beside Lin Xin, looked at the ancient city of Dunhuang in the fierce battle with an excited face, it was the first time she had seen this kind of battle of more than 100,000 people for the first time, and she felt inexplicably excited in her heart.

"Sister Lin, do you think we can take the ancient city of Dunhuang?" However, in addition to the excitement, Yun Na had some worries, after all, there were more than 100,000 enemy troops in the ancient city of Dunhuang, and the strength of the Ming army was only 50,000.

"Don't worry, since the prince only brought three days of military rations, he is confident to take this city." Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xin's mouth, and she explained to Yun Na in a low voice, "Although the enemy army in the city, the Northern Yuan and the Timurid Empire are inseparable, and no one will resist desperately, which gives us a chance." ”

Yun Na nodded again and again when she heard this, thinking that what Lin Xin said was reasonable, but when she thought of Li Yuntian in danger, she still felt a little uneasy, it was conceivable that after tonight's battle, Li Yuntian would definitely become the target of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army.

"Lord Wang, the enemy troops in the city have begun to evacuate, and our army is bravely pursuing and killing." Not long after, a cavalry galloped over, and the knight on horseback jumped down and bowed to Li Yuntian, shouting loudly.

Hearing this, Yun Na immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Li Yuntian who was standing there with a serious expression, her eyes showed a look of admiration, except for Li Yuntian, I am afraid that no one would dare to do such a crazy thing.

"Order down, poor Kou Mo chase." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and said to the cavalryman who reported that his goal was to capture the ancient city of Dunhuang, and there was no need to fight hard with the other party.

The cavalryman bowed to Li Yuntian, turned on his horse and galloped away, and went to convey Li Yuntian's order.

Then, Li Yuntian stretched lazily, got up and walked to the camp tent under the hill and fell asleep, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.

At noon the next day, when Li Yuntian entered the ancient city of Dunhuang surrounded by everyone, the battle in the city had ended, and the streets were full of dejected Timurid Empire and Northern Yuan prisoners.

"What's going on inside?" When passing by a mansion, Li Yuntian heard a woman's cry from inside, so he frowned slightly and asked several Ming soldiers in front of the gate.

"Lord Wang, we have captured some of the enemy's female dependents and are temporarily imprisoned here." Hearing this, a soldier hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian and replied in a deep voice.

It turned out that because the attack of the Ming army last night was too sudden, the women around some high-ranking generals of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not have time to escape and were caught, so they were concentrated and imprisoned.

"Let's go, let's see." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, turned over and dismounted, and beckoned the generals who followed him into the courtyard with him.

"Lord Wang!" The female dependents were locked up in the hall of the courtyard, and some Ming soldiers were on guard in the courtyard, and they bowed down when they saw Li Yuntian coming.

When the ladies saw that the soldiers called a handsome Ming army general "Wang Ye", they all stopped crying and looked over, their eyes were both curious and full of fear, they didn't know how the Ming army would treat them, if they were allowed to become camp prostitutes, it would be better to live than die.

"Tell this king, who among you are the men of Khordu Khan?" Li Yuntian walked into the hall, glanced around at the female dependents who were cowering and dodging backwards, and asked in Chagatai.

"Little ...... The little woman was the concubine of the Great Khan. Hearing this, a young, beautiful, graceful and luxurious woman from the Western Regions came out and replied timidly.

This woman from the Western Regions didn't want to come out, but their identities had already been registered, so even if they didn't come out, Li Yuntian could know about her, so she had to come to see Li Yuntian and secretly pray that Li Yuntian wouldn't reward her to those subordinates.

"This king entrusts you to bring a message to Khordu Khan, the great tomorrow is not to take risks, since you are in the realm, then he should drink the city of Massamarkand!" Li Yuntian glanced at the woman from the Western Regions and said expressionlessly, "At that time, this king will make him regret his actions today." ”

"The little woman wrote it down." The woman from the Western Regions, who was worried, was stunned when she heard this, she never imagined that Li Yuntian would say this kind of thing and seemed to let her go, and then replied resignedly.

"Where are the people who are happy?" Li Yuntian's gaze swept over the people in the room again, and asked with a serious expression.

"Little ...... The little one is the maid beside the Taishi. As Li Yuntian's words fell, a young Mongolian woman walked out of the crowd with a panicked expression.

"When you go back, tell Tuhuan that he escaped by luck last time, and this time the king must catch him and let him be punished as he deserves." Li Yuntian sneered and said coldly to the Mongolian woman, "In addition, this king has already given him a big gift, and he will receive it in a while." ”

"The little one obeys." The young Mongolian woman didn't understand Li Yuntian's words, but it didn't matter to her, so she hurriedly agreed.

"You arrange to send them back in two days." Li Yuntian was not interested in these female dependents, and it was tricky to deal with, so he couldn't take them to fight, so after explaining to the young Mongolian woman, he told Lin Xin, who was following behind, to decide to let these female dependents go, and save some people in the military camp from worrying.

Knowing that Li Yuntian was going to release them, those ladies suddenly showed a look of surprise on their faces, no one would have thought that Li Yuntian would do this.

"Who are you, my lord?" Out of curiosity, the young Mongolian woman couldn't help but ask, she needed to know Li Yuntian's identity, so that she could answer Tuhuan.

"This king is the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty!" Li Yuntian glanced at the Mongolian woman, walked up and led everyone away, he let these female dependents not only because these female dependents were difficult to resettle, but more importantly, to provoke Tuhuan and Khordu Khan, so that the two sent troops to pursue him.

"He is the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty?" Hearing this, the women in the hall were stunned, and no one could have imagined that it was the famous Zhongwu King who appeared in front of them.

When Li Yuntian arrived at a granary in the city, the young man with the Chinese character who followed Li Yuntian from the mountains to the ancient city of Dunhuang was happily directing his companions to load the cart with grain, with which they could survive in the mountains.

"Lord Wang, when will the Xiaowu Army still accept people?" Seeing that Li Yuntian was coming, the young man with the national character face greeted him with a smile, bowed and asked, and those companions around him looked over with concern when they heard the words.

After this war in Kansai, the young man with the national character face and others understood that the Ming Dynasty was really protecting the people of Kansai, coupled with the rich benefits of the Xiaowu Army, so they were all willing to join the Xiaowu Army to seek a good future.

"After the end of this war, there will be a lot of waste to be built, and Kansai needs you to build it." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, he clearly felt the yearning of the young man with the national character face for the Xiaowu Army, so he pondered for a while and said, "Compared with joining the army, you should do a good job in the construction of agriculture and commerce in Kansai, only in this way will the market in Kansai prosper and the people can have enough to eat." ”

"You can rest assured that the Xiaowu army of Qinglong City will not turn a blind eye to the construction of Kansai, and will provide you with interest-free loans to buy farm tools and do business at that time." Saying that, Li Yuntian told the young man with the national character face and others a good news, it is obvious that after this war, Kansai will be full of devastation, and it is a good time to win people's hearts.

"Lord Wang, the person you want has been found." Just when Li Yuntian was chatting with the round-faced young man and the others there, Lin Xin came to his side and whispered.

"Let's go, let's see." Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he ended the small talk with the round-faced young man and the others, and got up to leave.

A prisoner of war camp in the south of the city was densely packed with prisoners of war from the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and many prisoners of war surrendered in a mess.

According to the statistics of the Ming army, the Ming army captured more than 10,000 prisoners in the battle of the ancient city of Dunhuang and were placed in three prisoner of war camps in the city, which was really beyond Li Yuntian's expectations.

When Li Yuntian entered the prisoner of war camp surrounded by heavily armed Ming soldiers, he immediately attracted the attention of the prisoners of the prisoner of war camp, and they all looked over curiously.

"Which of you participated in the Battle of Liaodong a few years ago?" Li Yuntian stood still in the open space in the center of the prisoner of war camp, and quietly asked the frightened prisoners around him.

Hearing Li Yuntian's question, the captives first looked at each other, and then dozens of Northern Yuan soldiers walked out of the crowd.

Not only that, but the two generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the dozens of Northern Yuan soldiers who came out of the column uneasily, not knowing what Li Yuntian meant, did he want to liquidate the crimes they committed in Liaodong?

"Do any of you recognize me?" Li Yuntian glanced at the two Northern Yuan generals and the dozens of Northern Yuan soldiers in front of him, and asked quietly in a loud voice.

Hearing this, the two Northern Yuan generals and dozens of Northern Yuan soldiers couldn't help but raise their heads, and looked at Li Yuntian with curiosity, wondering why Li Yuntian asked this.

"You...... You are the loyal ...... of the Ming Dynasty King Chungmu! When he saw Li Yuntian's appearance clearly, a Northern Yuan general was stunned, then rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Yuntian in disbelief.

"Really...... It's really King Zhongwu! Immediately afterwards, a soldier couldn't help but exclaim, he never expected that the person who appeared in front of him would be Liu Yuntian.

"No wonder we lost, it turned out that we lost to King Zhongwu!" Subsequently, several more soldiers recognized Li Yuntian and looked shocked.

Back then, Li Yuntian exchanged prisoners with the Northern Yuan in Liaodong, and he appeared many times in the captive camp, so many of the Northern Yuan captives had seen him and could naturally recognize his appearance.

"We're old acquaintances, so you should know the rules." Seeing that the other party recognized him, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but flash a subtle smile, and he said to the Northern Yuan general who recognized him without moving.

"I understand that I will stay here honestly and will not cause trouble." The Northern Yuan general nodded again and again when he heard this, the look on his face became relaxed, and he knew that his life was saved.

"Good!" Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he saw this, and then turned around to leave, he had already achieved his goal inadvertently, so naturally there was no need to stay.

On the surface, Li Yuntian wanted those prisoners of war to keep to themselves, but in fact, he had quietly exposed his identity, presumably Tuhuan and Khordu Khan would not let him go easily after learning about it, and he was hoping that the two would mobilize a large army to besiege him.
