Chapter 449: Fierce counterattack

Yuan Huizong hurriedly hunted in the north, one day and one night, ran north for one hundred and twenty miles, and was able to meet with the army of the northeast kings and kings, only to stop the pace of running, and the broken sentry reported that most of the Yuan had been conquered by the Song army, and the Song army was less than 40,000 people.

The bumps along the way have already annoyed Yuan Huizong, he has been absent from the battle formation for a long time, and his butt is about to be broken, and when he heard that the Song army was alone in the depths, there were only 40,000 people, and he couldn't help but make Yuan Huizong jump like thunder.

The army of the king of Beidi Qin is only two days away from Dadu, if he sticks to Dadu, why not sleep in the open air, maybe he sticks to Dadu, absorbs Hao Ren in Dadu, and the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all walks of life arrive one after another, annihilating the lone army of the Song army outside the capital, and then his own can protect Dadu and stabilize his position.

"Retake the capital for me!" Yuan Huizong jumped like thunder, and his Luan drove continued to go north, but let the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin from all walks of life recapture the capital.

Hao Ren broke through the capital, expected that the enemy would inevitably counterattack, for the three thousand beauties left by Yuan Huizong, nothing to take, and the generals agreed, to defeat Meng Yuan counterattack, the generals were rewarded for their merits, he just sat on the throne of Yuan Huizong, experienced the feeling of the king in the world, and began to be busy cleaning up the security in the city, consolidating the city defense of Yanjing, and sending sentinels to inquire about the enemy.

"Report! Meng Yuan's cowardly Xue army teamed up with King Qin's Zhulu army, with a total strength of more than 70,000, less than fifty miles away from Yanjing! ”

"Report! Wang Baobao abandoned Yucheng, and the commander of 80,000 soldiers and horses counterattacked, less than 100 miles away from Yanjing! ”

The sentinels came back one after another, and reported the news of the sentinels to Hao Ren, as well as the soldiers and horses of the other Qinwang, who came like a tide, and joined the cowardly Xue army or Wang Baobao, and the enemy's soldiers and horses near Dadu had increased to 200,000 people, which was more than five times that of the Song army that had broken through Dadu.

"It's coming so fast!"

It was only three days after Hao Ren captured Yanjing, and the armies from all walks of life had already counterattacked, and the enemy moved so fast, which Hao Ren did not expect.

Yanjing is the capital of Mengyuan, since Muhuali passed through the Central Plains, it has been in the hands of Mengyuan, and there are Liao, Jin and several years, Yanjing has a lot of people, not as many as the Han people south of the Yellow River, the city is easy to occupy, but the people's hearts are not easy to naturalize, the law of the Song army to exempt from levy for one year is obviously not attractive enough to those who have lost their homeland.

"Your Majesty, the cowardly Xue army in the north is the closest, it is better to make a dangerous move, the army will immediately go north, first defeat Meng Yuan's cowardly Xue army, and then turn back to fight Wang Baobao!" Zhang Dingbian, commander of the Dingbian Army, suggested.

Hao Ren pondered for a long time, feeling that this strategy was too dangerous.

The Song army ran for a long time, there were not many heavy weapons, the soldiers were already very tired, and the cowardly Xue army was the Mengyuan royal guard, it was the real elite, Hao Ren was not sure that he could defeat them in a short time, if the battlefield was stalemate, Wang Baobao killed from behind, and the 40,000 soldiers and horses in his hands were estimated to be in danger of being wiped out.

"It's better for the army to abandon Yanjing, temporarily retreat to Haijin Town, back to the navy's sea ships, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, Chang Yuchun and Wang Baobao in Yucheng against the army, will inevitably follow, when General Chang's army arrives, the two armies recapture Yanjing, so it is the safest!" Yao Guangxiao, the secretary of the Cabinet Rites Department.

The strategy proposed by Yao Guangxiao can be regarded as a sound strategy.

However, Yanjing is more symbolic for the enemy and us, once Meng Yuan recaptures Yanjing, even if it is an empty city that has been emptied by the Song army, it will inevitably make the remaining Meng Yuan forces firm in their confidence in resisting, and see a glimmer of light that can fight against the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

"There are Fu Youde and Chang Yuchun armies maneuvering on the periphery, and the military flags of the Great Song Dynasty are being planted in various cities in Mengyuan, as long as we attract the enemy's main force in Yanjing, the two armies will have a broader space to maneuver, and when the two armies and our division of Yanjing will be under the city, they can be completely defeated in one battle!" Hao Ren said firmly.

"But we only have 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the newly recruited people have not been in battle, so they are embarrassed to be of great use, and the Semu people are not of the same mind as us, and we must always beware of them betraying the Tartars!" Liao Yongzhong said.

"Although the recruits are useless, it's always okay to throw rolling logs and stones down the city, right? There will be brave men under the reward! Yuan Huizong left us a treasury of gold and silver treasures, let's not spare money, out of the list to recruit a large number of people! The people of the color eyes are not terrible, several influential royal families have been controlled by us, as long as one or two people are selected to appoint official positions, they can come forward to help us pacify the people of the color eyes! Hao Ren explained.

Hao Ren said that these things are not difficult, but the time is a little rushed.

Compared with Yanjing, a metropolis with a population of one million, although the Han people are a minority, there are hundreds of thousands, and there are a large number of slaves of all kinds who were enslaved by the Mengyuan nobles.

Yanjing is the capital of Mengyuan, there are many royal families who have no time to escape, and even the prince has captured three or four, looking for those one or two people to be appointed as the false position of Yanjing Taishou, regardless of whether they are sincere or not, as long as these royal families are on their side on the surface, those people with colored eyes do not dare to openly resist.

Liao Yongzhong is in charge of the elite soldiers and horses of his own headquarters, responsible for the security of the city, and the guards are about to rush, even if the people want to move, they can't set off any kind of wind and waves!

The tone of the Song army's stubborn defense of Yanjing has been set, and the orderly grave actions of the various departments have recruited tens of thousands of people in just one day, and the soldiers and armor in the Mengyuan Mansion Treasury have been recruited, and the Song army's men and horses defending the city have changed from 40,000 to 80,000.

At dusk, Meng Yuan's cowardly Xue army was the first to rush to the city, and the Great Song Musket Army and the Dingbian Army went out of the city to resist the enemy, and fought fiercely until dusk.

This gave Song Jun another win-win night of preparation time.

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Baobao's army also rushed to Yanjing City, without too many words, the two armies of Mengyuan and Yuan were divided into north and south roads, and attacked Yanjing.

Yanjing City is the capital of Mengyuan, the city wall is tall, the two armies of Mengyuan and Yuan come from afar, there is no full siege equipment, if you want to break through Yanjing, how easy is it?

Under the cover of Meng Yuan's crossbowmen, the Meng Yuan soldiers carried simple cloud ladders and began to attack the city, and the firearms and bows and crossbows of both sides suppressed each other, and the Meng Yuan soldiers entered the ant-like annex city and attacked.

Hao Ren didn't know how long it would take to wait for Fu Youde and Chang Yuchun's reinforcements, and he didn't dare to let the soldiers lose too much, and the first line of the city was full of newly recruited people throwing rolling wood and stones under the city, and the soldiers were behind the people, using bows and crossbows and firearms to suppress the enemy's attack.

Rao is like this, only one day of defensive operations, Meng Yuan attacked the city several times, the loss of people is not counted, just the soldiers, the loss of 3,000 people.

Hao Ren's soldiers were only 40,000, and the loss was so huge in one day, he felt that the defense of Yanjing City could not last long, and it was too late to retreat at this time, so he could only harden his head, hoping that his reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
