Zhongdu.

Compared to Dadu, it is not an exaggeration to say that this place is small and broken. This was originally the accompanying capital, but it was useless for many years, and it lost its true color.

However, the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how small and broken the middle capital is, it is also relatively large. Compared with other cities, Zhongdu still has some of the style of the capital.

At least, there are still many Mongolian nobles living here, as well as tens of thousands of Mongolian people and hundreds of thousands of Han people, herds of cattle and horses, constant merchants, and all the supplies of the imperial court, and life is extremely beautiful.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

A roaring sound of iron hooves sounded, and a black line appeared in the distance in the sky, which gradually thickened and became larger, and when it got closer, it was finally found that it was a large area of cavalry.

Mongolian Iron Rider!

"I don't know whose subordinate this is, maybe it's the cowardly Xue Jun of which prince, you look at this momentum, there is a lot of my Mongolian style!"

"Really! I don't know what they're here for? ”

"I guess I'm passing by, I haven't heard of increasing defense here!"

……

On the city wall of Zhongdu, five or six Mongol soldiers gathered together and looked with envy at this large area of approaching Mongol iron cavalry.

Since the ancestor Kublai Khan, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army has been declining year by year, and the strong Mongols have been blinded by prosperity, and they are unwilling to endure hardships anymore, but instead enjoy them, so such elite Mongolian iron cavalry is rare.

Of course, their weak physical will does not mean that they do not want to become invincible cavalrymen who gallop the world, so there is still envy.

A large number of Mongolian iron horsemen got closer and closer, and they still did not stop until they were 30 zhang away from the city wall of Zhongdu, but still rushed towards the city gate.

"Are they going into town?"

The soldiers defending the city looked stunned, they did not receive a military report that there was a cavalry passing through the middle capital, so even if the other party wanted to enter the city, they did not dare to open the door.

"Then let's wait and see! Maybe the herald is already on his way! ”

One soldier said with a relaxed face.

"According to me, we still have to be vigilant, in case the other party is not good......

"Nope! Who would dare to come to Zhongdu for trouble? No, it won't! ”

As soon as a young soldier made a suggestion, he was immediately interrupted by several people.

Twenty zhang ......

Ten Zhang......

The soldiers on the tower of the city gate panicked: "Why are they still moving forward, no, they must report it quickly!" ”

After that, he picked up the trumpet and blew it.

"Whoosh-poof!"

Before the horn sounded, the arrows flew and immediately pierced the soldier's neck.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The remaining dozen or so people screamed in fright, but after only two screams, a rain of arrows fell, and all of them turned into corpses.

"Yang big eyes! Arrogant Cao! Go in and open the gates! ”

"Yes!"

The two flew up and landed at the head of the city, and it happened that the guards were no longer at this moment, and there was not even a decent opponent, so they easily let go of the city tower and opened the city gate.

"Kill!"

Xiang Yu gave an order, the twelve half-immortals were in front, and the other soldiers were behind, and they rushed into the middle capital.

"This time, we only kill soldiers, don't hurt the people and don't rob things, remember everything!"

A voice sounded, and everyone began to look for their target, and as soon as those with sharp blades and armor appeared, a group of people would fall with swords and guns......

Two hours later, only three of the four half-immortal generals and ten half-immortals who guarded the central capital escaped, and the 40,000 Mongol troops (most of them were still composed of various ethnic groups) were all killed, Xiang Yu continued to lead more than 20,000 of his subordinates and killed all the nobles hiding in the central capital, abandoned the city and went south after dark, detoured to the west, and went straight to Dadu.

In this battle, there was no mental calculation, fourteen half-immortals against fourteen half-immortals, 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry against 40,000 soldiers defending the city, it seemed that the strength of the number was equal, but in fact, the besieging side completely occupied the advantage, and completely annihilated the defenders at a small price.

After three hours were lost......

"Sneak attack! Sneak attack! ”

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the faces of the three seriously injured Shan Yuhu masters who had escaped, and the congealed blood turned golden red.

"Aren't these the three adults who guard the middle capital? Fast! Blow the trumpet! ”

The horn and drum sounded at the same time, and Toto, who was investigating the spies in the city, immediately went straight to the north gate after hearing it, and Wu Zhifang, who was traveling with him, also followed behind, but when he was still halfway, he saw three Shan Yuhu masters covered in blood.

"Stop! I'm the Imperial Doctor, the Privy Council, and the Privy Council, aren't the three seniors in the town? Why is this happening? What happened? Is there something wrong with it? ”

One of the demi-immortals who was the least injured immediately replied, "General Totok! Zhongdu was broken by 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, four generals and 40,000 defenders were all killed, and the three of us escaped from the half-immortal, so we had to hurry to rescue Zhongdu! ”

Tokh was taken aback: "There are fourteen half-immortals guarding the middle capital, four of them are still generals, in addition to 40,000 elite sergeants, how can the other party only have 30,000 cavalry?" Is it wrong? How many people have come to wipe you out? ”

"That's 30,000!" The three demi-immortals cried out, "The other party is too strong, and fourteen demi-immortal generals have also been dispatched, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is far superior to ours, so they really can't beat it!" ”

"So what's going on in the capital now?"

The three demi-immortals replied: "When we escaped, the enemy had already occupied Zhongdu, and we don't know what the situation is now, but they have worked hard to defeat Zhongdu, and they will not give up!" ”

Wu Zhifang whispered a few words to him, and Totoku pondered for a while: "You go to report to the prime minister quickly, and the others follow me to defend the gates of the capital!" ”

A few soldiers went with three half-immortals, and Tokhtar led people straight to the north gate city wall, and directly issued a wartime state order, all the soldiers in the city went to the city, and no one was allowed to be careless.

Not long after dark, Boyan sent someone to send a message to Toto, and immediately gathered an army of 200,000 and forty half-immortals to recover the central capital. Tokhtar held the military order, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

It turned out that Boyan had already asked about the situation, according to the three half-immortals, when the other party attacked the central capital, the banner was the alliance of the Mongolian kings, and the reason for attacking the central capital was to force the empress dowager and Prime Minister Boyan to accept the investigation, and it was necessary to find out the identity of Yan Tigusi.

"How can this be true? Who sent the army to use this excuse to persecute the imperial court? If you don't kill, it's hard to calm the hatred in my heart! ”

This was the first sentence that Boyan said after hearing it, and then he wrote a military order to send someone to Toto, asking him to go out of the city overnight to recover the central capital.

"I also talked about Yan Tigusi, which was the most difficult thing for the prime minister to bear. However, it is very dangerous in the night attack, on the one hand, it is afraid of encountering ambushes on the road, and on the other hand, most of the capital will be empty and have to be guarded against! ”
