The reputation of the Marquis of Xiping in the Ming Dynasty was that of a ruthless man who made the Tibetans cry for their parents. You should know that the Tibetans were an existence that even the Mongols could not conquer. Prince Liang might not be familiar with other generals of the Ming Dynasty, but he was definitely well-known for Mu Ying!
Such a ruthless man suddenly appeared in his own Yundian, and had already led his troops to jump in front of him. How could King Liang not be frightened?
The key point is that King Liang still doesn't know whether Mu Ying and the people in Songming City are in the same group. If they have already discussed and prepared to eat him, then the consequences...
When he thought of this, King Liang could no longer remain calm. "Blow the horn! Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
The Mongolian cavalry present had no objection to King Liang's order and carried it out immediately. Almost in an instant, the rear team became the front team, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated completely.
Li Xiuning, who was on the top floor of Desheng Tower, saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Prince Liang retreated? Why did he retreat? Who on earth came here? How could he scare off the Mongol cavalry?"
"That's because he knows how to deal with the times." Zhu Chong sneered, and his impression of the former Yuan Liang King of Yunnan and Dian instantly dropped several levels.
Before this, Zhu Chong was still somewhat wary of His Royal Highness Qian Yuan, the Prince of Liang. Even though he had defeated him in one match, Zhu Chong always thought that he was just lucky.
Now that he saw that Prince Liang had chosen to retreat directly because Mu Ying had led his troops, he suddenly looked down on Prince Liang.
The other side obviously didn't understand the relationship between Songming City and Mu Ying, so they chose to retreat. It was obvious that the leader was as cowardly as a mouse. You must know that retreating on the battlefield is a taboo.
But then again, if Zhu Chong were the King of Liang, he might have misjudged the relationship between himself and Mu Ying. However, the former Yuan people were all cavalry, so it was really inappropriate for them to flee in such a hurry.
Turning around, Zhu Chong looked at Mu Ying's army slowly approaching Songming City, and new doubts arose in his mind.
Why on earth was Mu Ying here? Hadn't he already been to Yingtian Prefecture? Why was Old Zhu so impatient to take over his territory now?
What Zhu Chong didn't know was that at this moment in the Ming army, Mu Ying was also looking at Songming City with a confused look on his face.
Because the purpose of his visit was not Songming City at all, but the Liang Wang Court in Kunming.
When Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to him to unite with Pingliang Hou Fei Ju to launch an expedition against the Liang Wang army in Yunnan and Yunnan, he immediately mobilized elite troops and prepared to raid Kunming.
Before receiving Zhu's order, Mu Ying had actually obtained information from various channels and learned that the small Yuan court in the north was restless again and was mobilizing a large army to invade the south. It is also said that he had contacted King Liang of Yunnan and prepared to launch a pincer attack from the north and the south.
So after careful consideration, Mu Ying formulated a plan to attack the enemy's lair directly, and he personally led the elite troops to raid Kunming.
But unexpectedly, they had a smooth journey to Songming, and unexpectedly learned that Mongolian cavalry were attacking the city ahead.
When he led his troops to the front, Mu Ying was stunned because he saw a city that was taller and more magnificent than Yingtian Prefecture.
In addition, he also saw the royal flag of King Liang, which made him involuntarily wonder whether his military secrets had been leaked by spies, and that King Liang had already built a city here early, preparing to encircle and annihilate him?
But before Mu Ying could figure out what to do next, King Liang ran away.
Mu Ying was completely bewildered when Prince Liang ran away. Why did Prince Liang run away? Was he planning another trick to lure the enemy?
But now that he was here, he had nearly 100,000 troops around him, and Fei Ju's 100,000 troops behind him to support him. Mu Ying would not feel at ease unless he understood the situation clearly.
After all, in Yunnan and Yunnan, a no-man's land between the Ming Dynasty and King Liang, such a large city suddenly appeared. Mu Ying could not feel at ease until he figured out its ownership.
However, as they got closer to Songming City, Mu Ying became more and more panicked.
The fifteen-meter-thick city wall creates an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Especially the outer wall of the entire Songming City, which is now made of poured cement. It is not the common brick and stone structure, nor is it made of mud. The grayish-white color of the cement makes Mu Ying unable to describe his feelings at the moment.
The army stopped five hundred steps away from Songming City. Fei Ju was soon invited to the front army. When he saw the towering Songming City Wall standing in front of him, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, shocked beyond words.
"Marquis Pingliang, don't even know about this city, let alone you?" Mu Ying looked at Fei Ju with some unfriendly eyes.
Before him, Fei Ju was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to garrison in Yunnan and Yunnan. At first, Fei Ju was stationed outside the city of Qujing.
According to military practice, the area within a hundred miles of the garrison is the scout activity area.
The Songming City in front of us is such a big city. Judging from its appearance, it is definitely a new city built in recent years. It is impossible for Fei Ju's scouts to say that they are unaware of its existence.
But from Fei Ju's expression in front of him, how could Mu Ying not see that Fei Ju obviously didn't know, but how could he not know?
"Marquis Xiping, you know me. I really don't know anything about this place. My scouts never told me that there is such a big city here!" Fei Ju finally noticed Mu Ying's unfriendly look and quickly defended himself.
"Marquis Pingliang, who do you think will believe what you said?" Mu Ying sneered.
Fei Ju was speechless. It really couldn't be blamed on him. His scouts naturally never reported that there was a city here. After all, a few months ago, this place was indeed a ruin and overgrown with weeds.
But when Fei Ju said this, even he himself didn't believe it, but he couldn't explain it now.
Fortunately, Mu Ying did not argue with Fei Ju about this matter, but he had already made up his mind that after returning, he would definitely submit a report to let Zhu Yuanzhang know.
With such a big thing happening, it is impossible for Fei Ju to pass the buck.
What's more, Mu Ying knew that Fei Ju was now a key target of Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, and this just added another charge to his name.
When he turned around, Mu Ying looked at the Songming City in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Such a big city is definitely not much smaller than Yingtian Prefecture. Although we can't see what's inside the city wall, just looking at the high city wall in front of us, it is definitely unique in the Ming Dynasty.
"Marquis Xiping, look over there, there's someone on the city wall, and there's a flag, and the words on it, that person..."
Following Fei Ju's scream, Mu Ying looked towards the Songming City Tower. He saw crowds of people and fluttering flags on the tower. Archers appeared on all the battlements, and countless crossbows were aimed at the outside of the city.
Seeing this scene, Mu Ying's brows furrowed tightly...
