Chapter 681: Kill the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom and destroy the leaders of the major tribes!
The golden crow sank into the earth, and the earth suddenly darkened, and the howling north wind blew the withered yellow pastures, and at the same time cut out other sounds.
The scouts had returned from the royal court, and these scouts looked no different from the Yuan people, and were proficient in the Yuan Chinese language, and entered the royal court to investigate, and obtained very valuable information.
In order to pay tribute to his father, Qu Chulu, the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom, was preparing a memorial ceremony in the imperial court, and the eyes of the Yuan people were on this matter, and they paid little attention to the outside.
The Yuan people had never encountered an enemy army to kill the royal court, so they never thought of this matter subconsciously, so although the royal court had 40,000 guards, the actual Yuan soldiers on duty were limited, and the defense was loose.
The scouts not only figured out the smooth situation of the offensive route, but also the garrison strength of the various gates of the imperial court, and told Huo Qubing and Yue Fei in detail.
After the two got the information, they knew that the time had come.
Now that the leaders of the main tribes of the Yuan Kingdom are gathered in the imperial court to pay respects, this is definitely a godsend! As long as they rush into the imperial court and kill all these people, the Yuan Kingdom will be in chaos, and the various tribes will inevitably fight in order to compete for the position of leader, and the vacancy at the top will plunge the Yuan Kingdom into chaos, and it will also create a heaven-sent opportunity for Temujin.
Huo Quzhi tightened the chain mail on his body, and said to Yue Fei: "Brother Yue, let's start acting!" ”
Yue Fei nodded and said, "Okay!" ”
The two immediately mounted their horses, and then the army began to prepare, putting on iron armor and taking weapons, and the pitch-black armor was hidden in the dark night, keeping it hidden.
"Let's go!"
Huo Quzhi and Yue Fei were in the same place, and the army behind them jumped out of this basin one after another, showing a solemn killing intention, looking at the direction of the imperial court, and began to march.
The howling north wind was their best camouflage, hiding their movements, so they didn't have to wrap cloth bags around their hooves. They faced the northwest wind and rushed to the imperial court. When there were still more than 20 miles away from the imperial court, the army began to divide into six routes, showing a siege trend, and wanted to swallow the imperial court.
The periphery of the imperial court is a tent of the Yuan people, and it is windy tonight, so the Yuan people are hiding in the tents, drinking mare's milk wine, eating jerky, and chatting.
In the outermost tent, a Yuan man walked out and ran outside the tent to pee, and finally didn't need to wet his shoes to pee in the wind, he was a little proud.
At this time, he raised his head and looked ahead, and suddenly frowned, hey, what is that?
This Yuan man rubbed his eyes, and always felt that in the darkness in front of him, there were thousands of troops and horses killing, and the black pressure was all human figures.
"Am I dazzled?"
The man looked at it again, and gradually, as the figure in the darkness in front of him became clearer and clearer, and the man's frowning face suddenly became horrified.
What did he see!
The soldiers of black oppression are full of slaughter and silence!
It's not good, it's an enemy attack!
The man was so frightened that he couldn't lift his pants, and he was about to tear out his throat and yell, and at that moment, there was a whoosh
A sound of breaking wind swept through the wind and shot directly into his eyebrows, causing his newly grown mouth to froze there, and then he fell back and fell to the ground.
A moment later, Huo Qubing led the army to kill, and without slowing down, he rushed straight over.
The nightmare of the Yuan people is coming!
The Great Xia cavalry soldiers were divided into six routes, starting to attack from six directions, and the position directly opposite was exactly the six gates of the imperial court. Each army of 20,000 soldiers and horses, when close to the royal court, left 3,000 cavalry to deal with the outermost Yuan people, set fire to their tents, their tents are flammable, and the open hood is also stored with furs, grain and other things, once ignited, there is no water source nearby to extinguish the fire, and the fire rises instantly.
The rest of the soldiers and horses continued to go deeper.
When entering the middle area of the royal court, here are rooms built of earth and stone, and the fire on the periphery has attracted the Yuan people to come out and observe, and at this time, the Great Xia cavalry has already rushed over, filling the streets. The main force was not affected in any way and continued to kill the imperial court, while the other cavalry stayed and continued to clear the streets and kill the resisting Yuan people.
According to Huo Qubing and Yue Fei's plan, there were 20,000 troops in each of the six routes, and each road only used 5,000 elite cavalry to attack the imperial court, and the other troops were clearing the Yuan people outside, after all, there were still 40,000 troops in the royal court.
The space of the imperial court is limited, and too many people are not allowed to rush in, and it is appropriate to attack the entrance of the imperial court with 5,000 troops per way.
At this moment, Khan Qu Qulu had just finished worshipping his father with all the leaders, and was walking out of the sacrificial hall, ready to move to the banquet hall to attend the dinner.
Suddenly, a tribal leader pointed to the light of the fire in the distance and said, "Your Majesty Khan, you have also ordered someone to prepare a bonfire for the day of the Lingzun Festival, and the scale is so large, it can be seen to be magnificent!" ”
"Yes, His Majesty Khan's filial piety is commendable!"
"The first Khan is in the spirit of the sky, and he will be blinded!"
"His Majesty the Khan is benevolent and filial, and he is a model in the world!"
Qu Julu looked at the firelight in the distance, the scope was so large that it was all over the royal court, he was surprised, stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, and said, "Ben Khan has no arrangements!" ”
Everyone was praising and suddenly stunned and looked at each other.
If it weren't for Khan's idea, who would have made such a big move?
Qu Zhulu looked at his inner officer, could it be that his subordinates arranged it?
The inner chamberlain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Khan, this flame is not arranged by subordinates, and this flame does not look like a bonfire, but the effect of countless tents being lit on the periphery of the royal court. ”
"What? How can it be! ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Although the outermost part of the royal court is inhabited by the lowest-status tribes, they also live in the royal court, who dares to set fires, and the scale is so large!
At this moment, the guards of the six gates guarding the imperial court came one after another, and the guards who came first were sweating profusely, and when the north wind blew, the cold shivered non-stop, and he hurried to worship: "Your Majesty the Khan, something is wrong!" The cavalry of the Xia Kingdom is here! ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.
All the leaders, you look at me, I look at you, they are all dumbfounded, even a little confused.
Qu Zhulu shouted: "How is it possible! How did Xia Jun fight here! ”
"Khan, it's true, I've already attacked the No. 1 city gate!" The guard shouted hurriedly.
At this time, the guards of the other five gates came back and forth, knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty Khan, something is wrong!" Xia Jun is coming! Attacking! ”
Only then did Qu Qulu believe the facts, he looked angry and shouted: "How many soldiers and horses are coming? How did the other party get closer? I didn't even know it! ”
The subordinates are divided, and they are all in confusion.
Qu Zhulu also understood that now was not the time to blame, so he immediately arranged: "Defend the city gate, blow the horn, and notify the troops in the royal court to kill the Xia army!" The other party actually ran to the royal court to sneak attack, really looking for death! ”
At this moment, the proud Qu Qu Lu didn't know how powerful Great Xia's attack was, and he was deceived by his own ignorance.
Huo Qubing led his cavalry to attack the easternmost portal, how could a cowardly portal stop Da Xia Erlang? In the time of the small half pillar of incense, he killed the hundreds of Yuan people stationed in front of the door and shot the Yuan people on the sentry platform.
In the end, the Great Xia soldiers piled up the gunpowder they were carrying in front of the door and blew open the east side portal.
"Everyone obeys the order and enters the imperial court!" Huo Quzhi shouted, and led people to rush in.
Yue Fei attacked from the northern portal, his attack speed was about the same as Huo Quzhi's, he exploded the portal one after the other, and rushed into the imperial court.
The other four gates were also broken by the Great Xia soldiers and horses one after another, and a large number of Xia troops entered the imperial court.
The Yuan people fought back, but they were not the opponents of the Great Xia cavalry at all, Huo Qubing went directly to the innermost part and came to the banquet hall where Qu Qulu and others were standing.
At this time, Qu Qu Lu no longer had the composure that he had just spoken, he gave the order to order the horn to counterattack, who knew that after a stick of incense, the imperial court was lost, and the soldiers and horses of Great Xia had rushed in and surrounded them.
Now around the banquet hall, there are only hundreds of yuan people protecting the banquet hall, but on the periphery, there are black and oppressive Great Xia cavalry.
Huo Quzhi saw the Khan of the Yuan Kingdom at a glance, and he roared angrily: "Kill!" ”
All the Great Xia soldiers began to charge, and Huo Qubing was even more at the moment, and the hook and sickle in his hand killed the Yuan people who were blocking, and finally forced him to Qu Qu Lu.
The Khan of the Yuan Kingdom completely lost his former composure and sat down on the ground in fright, and the next thing that greeted him was Huo Quzhi's shot to cut off his head, and then the gun flicked and hooked the head on the gun.
On the other side, Yue Fei also slaughtered in all directions, leading people to kill the tribal leaders present.
After the plan was completed, Huo Qubing ordered people to release a fireworks signal, and the Great Xia cavalry who were fighting in the royal court saw the signal and evacuated to the south one after another, Yue Fei and Huo Qubing also led people to rush out of the imperial court and retreat towards the south.
On the way, they encountered fierce resistance from the Yuan people, and there were many casualties, but the Yuan people couldn't keep the prepared Great Xia soldiers and horses, so they could only watch the Great Xia cavalry leave.
Thirty miles south of Wang Ting, Huo Qubing and Yue Fei simply reorganized their soldiers and horses here.
It was dark and it was impossible to count the number of people, so they went to the southeast, and more than 100 miles away was also a large basin, suitable for trimming.
Rushing late at night, it was easy to get lost, Yue Fei and Huo Qubing both ran in the wrong direction, and finally went around and around, relying on the compass invented by the Ministry of Engineering, to rush to the agreed place.
In the early morning, the sky was bright, and the number of people was counted, and there were only 60,000 horses.
Huo Quzhi and Yue Fei didn't believe that everyone else had died in battle, and they must have run away, so they continued to wait. An hour or two later, a large number of Xia troops returned one after another, and sure enough, they ran in the wrong direction, and only found a place at dawn.
In the afternoon, there were no soldiers and horses to return, and the remaining troops were finally counted, and there were still more than 98,000 men.
21,000 troops were lost, and the sacrifice was relatively large. Attacking the Yuan royal court in the dark has both advantages and disadvantages, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of Yuan people in the royal court, the Yuan people are fierce, they rise up to resist, once the Great Xia soldiers are scattered and surrounded, it is very dangerous.
However, their record is even more brilliant, the regiment wiped out the leaders of the major tribes of the Yuan Kingdom, and annihilated tens of thousands of Yuan troops and countless Yuan people, if they continue to fight, it will make the Yuan people have greater casualties!
