The fire had risen from the north side of the castle of King Helin, and the Ming cavalry was slashing down the stubborn Mongol soldiers along the road. The wide roads of the palace were littered with precious gold and silver, but they had become worthless compared to their lives.

Before the Ming army rushed into the palace, the Mongols began to light fires in several halls, firstly, to prevent these temples symbolizing the glory and glory of Mongolia from being insulted and trampled on by the Ming army, and secondly, to cover Ali Hague and others who broke through and retreated. These expensive palaces were like torches lit to show the conquerors the last of the fragile tenacities of the Mongols.

The wind was strong in the grassland, and the fire soon burned brightly, and the magnificent palaces were swallowed up in the endless tongue of fire.

"It's just like Lin'an back then." Chen Zhi, the supervisor of the two Huai armies, rode his horse and walked on the wide royal road in the royal city, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong, this feng shui takes turns, and it is finally the turn of the Mongolian Tartars." ”

The surrounding generals were holding their breath, quietly watching the palace towers that were struggling in the fire, and the people who fled in a hurry. At the beginning, Ye Yingwu had to burn Lin'an in order to cover the escape of the people of Lin'an, once upon a time, the iron hooves of the Ming Dynasty stepped into the city of Helin, and the Mongols also set fire to these temples that symbolized their glorious history of conquest.

Zhang Hongfan, who rushed into Lin'an with Song Duzong's surrender and fierce gods, may never have thought that Huaxia would really enter Helin and burn the Mongolian palace on this day, and the huge palace complex trembled under the iron hooves of the Ming cavalry and the whirring fire, and the air licked by the fire made everything a little distorted.

The Ming army was not in a hurry to rescue, and there were not many gold, silver and jewelry in Helin, because Kublai Khan had always had the intention of moving the capital to Beiping, so the main antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver treasury were transferred to Beiping one step in advance, as the wealth preparation for the consumption of materials required to build the capital, and there were many treasures snatched from the hands of the Jurchens who also stayed in Beiping, and these things had become the spoils of the Ming army as early as the last battle of Youyan.

This time to break through Helin, the Ming army was mainly for the design drawings of those craftsmen and large equipment, and this is why the Ming army went straight to the various mansions as soon as they entered the city.

"Have you sent people to block the gates on the east and west?" Chen Jiong raised his eyebrows, "The situation is so bad that the Mongolian Tatars will definitely not sit still." ”

Several generals bowed their hands at the same time: "Please also rest assured, I understand the truth that the tiger will return to the mountain and the future will be endless." ”

At this moment, the sound of killing suddenly sounded at the east gate, and Chen Ji laughed: "It's not bad, the current Mongolian Tartars must not have so many troops to attack the west, let's go, let's go and join in the fun, maybe we can catch a lot of big fish under this net." ”

Several generals were smiling, and the last thing the Mongols protected to break through must have been big fish. One of the brigade commanders said with a smile: "Supervisor, are we a little unkind, General Jiang of the Tianwu Army has launched an attack from the south gate, if he knows that the last few big fish have fallen into our hands, I'm afraid he can't help but scold his mother, right?" ”

"Scolding my mother, scolding my mother, he has a lot of achievements in this desperate San Lang, how can it be all his?" Chen Jiong smiled and slapped his war horse fiercely, "Let's go!" ”

————————————--

The horse lance in his hand pierced through the chest of a Mongolian soldier, Jiang Hao pulled out the horse lance violently, and did not look at the dazzling blood flower that bloomed not far away, the lance in his hand was raised high, and the blood flowed down the lance to his arm, and there was actually a thick layer of scabbed blood on the arm.

Countless cavalry roared past Jiang Hao, smashing the defensive line that the Mongol soldiers had so hard organized to pieces. The black flags were trampled and curled up by the horses' hooves, just like the red flags of the former Song Dynasty that were discarded on the battlefield many, many years ago.

The cavalry of the Ming army easily blew open the south gate of the royal city, because the north gate was broken first, so the Mongolian soldiers did not hold on to the south gate, and most of the Mongolian soldiers who stood up to resist were left behind or ordered to break off, but in front of the Ming cavalry, they only had a dead end.

"Kill!" Jiang Hao roared, and the horse lance in his hand swept away, and several Mongolian soldiers fell down screaming. The cavalry behind rushed into the city gate from both sides of him, and immediately ran along both sides of the city wall to fight, and Jiang Ho took a deep breath and rushed straight into the city gate.

The wide royal road leads all the way to the main hall, and the palaces on both sides of the royal road have been engulfed in flames, only the middle hall is still proudly standing in the billowing smoke, standing under the galloping Ming cavalry horses. Jiang Hao shook his head, no matter how tall and majestic this hall was, in their eyes now, it was just a creeping giant beast, and it could take its life at any time.

"Southern Barbarian!" A group of Mongol soldiers, led by a centurion, rushed out of the main hall, and when they saw the oncoming Ming army, they all shouted and pounced. And several guards subconsciously wanted to protect Jiang Hao behind, Jiang Hao sneered and reached out to push them away, and walked up the steps with his horse lance still covered in blood, while the Ming soldiers kept passing him and rushed into the enemy formation.

The Mongol soldiers, who numbered only a hundred men, were soon swallowed up by the Ming army that came up like a tidal wave, leaving only the centurion who seemed to be a little brave to hold on. Jiang Ho didn't look at this centurion, and walked straight past him. The centurion looked at the general of the Ming army who was close at hand but passed him in an instant, and couldn't help but roar and was about to jump up.

However, he was greeted not by the horse lance in Jiang Hao's hand, but by the other two Ming army leaders, one of whom kicked him on the knee and made the centurion fall to his knees in pain, while the other man was simply and neatly raised his hand and fell to the head.

Blood splattered on the two heads, as well as on Jiang Ho, who was not far away. Jiang Hao frowned, didn't say anything, kicked open the half-hidden door of the main hall, and strode into the dim hall. On the only palace that had not yet been consumed by the fire, a thin figure stood alone under the throne.

"General!" Several soldiers clenched their sabers at the same time, looking around vigilantly.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath, waved his hand to make them stand back, strode over, and before he got close to the person, the horse lance in his hand thrust into the pillar next to him, looked the person up and down, and said lightly: "I don't know which Mongolian prime minister is in front of him?" ”

Stretching out his hand to straighten his clothes, An Tong stretched out his hand to touch his chest and saluted: "An Tong, the left prime minister of Mongolia." ”

"Jiang Ho, the general of the Great Tomorrow Martial Army." Jiang Ho bowed his hand with interest.

"Lao Jiang, don't be impulsive!" At this moment, Yin Yu rushed into the main hall in three steps and two steps, looked at the two people who saluted each other, and was immediately startled, and looked at Jiang Hao next to him.

Jiang Hao couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and the killing image he left in his old partner's heart is estimated to be indelible in this life. And Yin Yu also calmed down, after all, compared to Jiang Hao, his mentality was a little more stable, if it wasn't for the fear that Jiang Hao would kill the prisoners cleanly, he would definitely not be so out of shape.

An Tong didn't laugh, for him now, how to laugh out loud. He silently looked around, not long ago here was full of Mongolian civil and military elites, Ashu, Liu Bingzhong, Boyan, Shi Tianze, Prince Zhenjin, Zhang Rou, Zhang Hongfan, Atahai, etc., it can be said that this is the most glorious generation of Mongolia since Genghis Khan, and sitting on the throne of the Khan is regarded as the "pride of the sky" Kublai Khan.

But all this disappeared with the wind, once upon a time, only An Tong was standing here alone, facing the overwhelming Ming army. These civil and military talents, who symbolize the glory of Mongolia, have been scattered with the wind, and it is difficult to find them again.

"I'm the only one left······" An Tong turned around, looked at Jiang Hao again, and shook his head, "What I think in my heart, I'm afraid the two generals can also understand, this time I have to thank General Jiang for making it happen." The name of General Yangjiang for a long time, I can see it today, and it is really a Qilin character, and he will not complain about losing this battle. ”

Before the words fell, An Tong had already drawn out his saber, and simply slammed it across his neck, and a stream of blood arrows sprayed out, speckled and splashed all over the ground in front of Jiang Hao and Yin Yu. Yin Yugang wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Jiang Hao. Sighing softly, Yin Yu also understood: "No wonder you didn't rush straight forward as usual, because you had already guessed that he would choose such a path?" ”

"Although it is difficult for this person to turn the tide, he can be regarded as a respectable man after all." Jiang Hao shook his head, "Kublai Khan chose him to sit in Helin, but he has a bit of vision. Let people bury and place it properly. ”

Yin Yu nodded and ordered. And Jiang Ho walked straight around An Tong's corpse, his footsteps stopped at the foot of the steps of the throne, and An Tong was standing in this position just now. Looking up at the throne that was rumored to have been moved out of the Jurchen capital, and also looking at the golden light emanating from the throne, a smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Yin Yu turned back and looked at Jiang Hao, who was stunned there, and couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder.

Jiang Hao chuckled lightly and said, "I was imagining what kind of arrogance Kublai Khan, an old man, was sitting on the throne back then, but it's a pity that everything has turned into a handful of loess. ”

"When did you get so close to your thoughts?" Yin Yu couldn't help but quip, you must know that before this, Jiang Hao's favorite thing to do was to fight and kill, even if it was difficult to use his brain, it was to better fight and kill, and it was the first time I had seen such a situation of worrying about the past.

Jiang Hao turned around, and a ray of sunlight spilled into the main hall, illuminating half of the hall, and also illuminating An Tong's corpse lying on the ground, the apocalyptic scene composed of blood and corpses, so that Jiang Hao, a person who was killed in the sea of corpses and blood, couldn't help but squint, and after a long time, Fang muttered:

"At the beginning, they laughed at us for being overwhelmed, self-defeating, and stubborn, but today, we stand on this great hall and tell them what is - never conquered."

Yin Yu also fell silent, and with Jiang Hao's gaze, the ray of sunlight illuminated the hall filled with the smell of blood, but it dissipated in an instant, the sun was getting more and more west, and the night was approaching. But Yin Yu knew that today's Helin must be a city that never sleeps.

In the past 100 years, the soldiers who have fallen one after another have exchanged their blood and lives for today's victory and this hard-won light. They struggled to support under the sky, they fearlessly charged the enemy under the red banner, and they galloped on the boundless grassland······ This figure converged into an eternal river of life, surging forward, generation after generation, endlessly, even if they paid more flesh and blood, they never flinched, and their children and grandchildren never flinched.

As Jiang Hao said, this nation, which once only owned half of the mountains and rivers again and again, has experienced too many blood and fire tribulations for thousands of years, but it has never been conquered.

"Qi Qi two generals, the Mongol Tartars are breaking through from the east gate!" One of the leaders strode over and said, "General Chen, who rushed in from the north gate, has already chased after him with a team of men. ”

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked back at An Tong's corpse not far away, shook his head and said: "This guy may still want to hold us back, but he thinks everything is too simple, if he doesn't arrange it in advance, how can he have the patience to stand here and talk to him?" ”

Yin Yu chuckled lightly and shook his head, you said a sentence in total, and you were embarrassed to say "idle two sentences", and you were not too embarrassed to panic. However, he didn't expose Jiang Ho this time. After all, for Jiang Hao, it would be good to be able to stop and talk about it.

And Jiang Hao didn't notice that his partner's face was full of complaints, and walked straight to the outside of the hall: "Lao Yin, although Chen Ji and the others have long regarded the last few big fish of the Mongolian Tatar as something in the bag, then we can't let these guys eat meat and drink soup, maybe there are some fish that slip through the net, no matter how lively it is, a certain Jiang Hao must help the field!" ”

Yin Yu laughed and quickly followed Jiang Hao.

Instead of standing here and sighing at this corpse, it is better to do everything to gain more fame.

————————————————

The neighing of war horses was endless, and the Mongol soldiers were constantly falling from arrows, and the entire inside and outside of the east gate was shrouded in billowing smoke and dust. Atahai outside the city wanted to rush in with his army, and the Mongol army that broke through the city also wanted to make a hole, but the east gate that fell into the hands of the Ming army was like a nail embedded in the army of ten thousand, no matter how hard they fought and fought, it was difficult to shake.

A red banner full of arrow holes flew proudly over the city, and the Ming cavalry roared along the city walls, piercing into the Mongol army at the same time, no matter how the centurions and thousand-snarions roared and shouted, the soldiers under their command had no fighting spirit to resist.

Although the Mongols still know how to master skills such as cavalry and archery since childhood, most of them have become the same tricks as the Southern Song Dynasty forbidden army, and there is a big difference between the cowardly Xue army that can be pulled out and act as the absolute main force. Although the Cowardly Xue Army is mostly composed of the sons of nobles, after all, the steely discipline and training methods are enough for them to maintain their combat power no less than that of their predecessors.

If you talk about fighting a tailwind, these guys may be okay, but in the face of such a crisis of losing the country, most people have no fighting spirit. Everyone knows that there is only a dead end to continue to move forward, and the firearms and whistling arrows that the Ming army keeps throwing out make many soldiers who have not actually walked out of Lin Cheng since they were children are full of fear.

"Mother, mother." The young Kuokuo was hugged by Queen Chabi, grabbing his mother's clothes, fighting and roaring in the ears of the young Mongolian Khan, which made him subconsciously shrink into Empress Chabi's arms.

"It's good to be in time!" The sound of horses' hooves became more and more intensive, and a group of Ming cavalry rushed out of the slope, and rushed straight to the chariot along the gap opened by the entanglement of the Ming army and the Mongolian army.

The dull sound of the fire gun continued, a Mongolian soldier fell down screaming, Ali Hague, who was driving in person, looked at the oncoming Ming cavalry, and drew his saber, but he just rushed forward two steps, and the saber in his hand was stopped by a horse lance, Yin Yu laughed, and the horse lance in his hand was suddenly raised upward, and the saber was directly knocked out.

Ali Hague let out a low cry, Yin Yu had already lost the horse lance casually, holding the knife in his hand, riding the horse forward and stabbing him in the chest.

The corpse of the Mongolian cowardly Xue army general fell on the car, and blood flowed into the curtain along the wheel, and Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and did not rush to start. When Chen Zhi arrived quickly with a team of cavalry, he made a gesture of invitation to Chen Zhi.

Chen Ji smiled bitterly, he didn't expect to be taken advantage of by this guy in the end, and he had to sell it to him. However, at this time, Chen Bing did not hesitate too much, and the two horse lances stretched out at the same time, provoking the curtain.

In the carriage, Empress Chabi bowed her head with her young broad sweat, but raised the seal ribbon high.
