In Haijin Town, there was a big chaos.

By the time Baturu retreated into the city, there was no order in the swallow land. Witnessing the one-sided killing on the battlefield, the residents of Haijin Town have long been frightened.

Haijin Town is a commercial port, and most of the residents here are businessmen with a few net worth, not maritime merchants who lick blood all year round, but sitting merchants who live a comfortable and comfortable life. Moreover, Haijin Zhou has been peaceful for decades, and it is the ruling center of the Great Mongolian State, the number one power in the world, in the Han region.

Who would have thought that the armed forces of the great Mongolian State would have a day when they would not work! Looking at how the murderous Han army treated the wounded Semu soldiers, the Semu merchants in Haijin Town did not dare to expect a good end. The people in the city went crazy, and at the same time ran to their shops and houses, and then packed up a little belongings as fast as they could, and ran to the east and east of the city with their wives and children, where there was a wooden bridge connecting the north and south of the Haihe River and the east and west of the canal.

Of course, the north and east gates of Haijin Town have long been closed. However, Haijin Town does not have a real city wall, only a thin wooden fence, which can't stop the Northern Expeditionary Army who want to attack the city, and it can't stop the people who want to enter and exit.

Yes, Haijin Town is now a besieged city, and the people inside want to get out, and the people outside want to come in. It's not just Land Rover's army that wants to come in, but there are also a lot of businessmen. They had gone out of the city in the most pleasant mood of the holiday, wanting to watch the mighty and invincible Mongol army slaughter the weak soldiers of the Han people of the Southern Dynasty on the banks of the Hai River and the canal.

Only to see their Semu brothers, mercilessly killed on the battlefield! However, even after seeing the barbarism and ferocity of the Han Northern Expeditionary Army. There are not many people who are willing to leave a qiē, turn around and leave.

Inside the town of Haijin. There can be their possessions and their families! If you give it up, you will be a poor egg. When I arrived in Yanjing, I could only wait to starve to death.

Niccolò and Matteo from Venice are two people who are unwilling to lose a qiē, they left their hometown of Venice in 1254 AD, and it took five years to do business all the way to the Central Plains, and finally accumulated some wealth, and his younger brother Matteo also married the daughter of a Roman merchant who had been doing business in the East for many years, got a dowry, and also hooked up with several Mongol nobles who believed in Nestorian religion. They were preparing to go to Guò to test the interest of the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan in his dealings with the Western Catholic world. I didn't expect a murderous Han army to hit the door of Kublai Khan's house!

If you don't hurry up and escape with the gold that Matteo's wife and two brothers left in the shop in Haijin Town, I'm afraid it will be too late!

The wooden bridge leading to Haijin Town was crowded with people, and some of them poured out of the city. There are people who already have their families and a small amount of possessions, and there are also people who want to squeeze into the city to find a little property that their families have taken with them. The two streams of people collided in this way.

It's a matter of life and wealth, and no one is willing to retreat! In fact, there was no way to take half a step back, because there were still mountains and seas of people surging behind him.

Just when everyone couldn't advance or retreat, I don't know who suddenly shouted loudly: "East, look east, there is a warship coming......"

The two brothers, Niccolò and Matteo, turned their heads to look at each other, and suddenly showed a look of despair and fear.

On the river in the distance. I don't know when a fleet of boats with white sails and long oars appeared! Huge, at a glance, you can see that they are large ships that crisscross the sea, one after another, and they eliminate the long queue on the river. The end of the line disappeared into the sea and sky, as if there was no end!

"Heavenly Father, we're going to lose a qiē!" Matteo shouted in despair.

Niccolò also said, "Matteo." It's too late to get into town, we're too late to get into town. Why don't you go to Yanjing first......"

"Go to Yanjing......" Matteo nodded desperately. He took one last look at Haijin Town, which was about to be in trouble, and was about to turn around and squeeze in the direction of the north bank of the Haihe River. The corner of his eye swept to a slightly more exciting scene.

The smoke and dust rose from the east, and the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder, and I don't know how many cavalrymen were lifting their horses and rushing desperately towards this place.

"The Great Khan's cavalry has come to our rescue!"

Someone yelled excitedly, followed by louder cheers.

"Thanks to the true god, the cavalry of the Great Khan arrived in time, and the southern barbarians are dead!"

"Great, Haijin Town is still the world of the Mongols and our Semu people!"

"Yes, Haijin Town and the whole of China are all Mongols and our Semu people!"

"Kill all those evil Nanban Han people! Kill them all, not a single one will be left! Then attack to the south of the Yangtze River, kill every Nanban man, and treat their women as the most despicable slaves! ”

The people on the wooden bridge stopped crowding and turned their hopeful eyes to the east. After all, this is the Yanyun of the Mongols, and the Mongol cavalry is so powerful, as long as they arrive, where will the Han army show its prestige?

However, how did these Mongolian horse teams come from the east along the Hai River?

Baturu took one last look at his Daru Huachi Mansion, then turned his head to squint at the rolling smoke, and said in a low voice: "It's the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians, about a thousand people, ...... north of the Haihe River."

"Chief, what should I do?" Baturu's pro-soldier Baihu Road, "The Haihe Bridge is congested, and our people can't get through!" ”

"No more!" Baturu categorically ordered, "Let's withdraw, abandon Haijin Town, and go to join our two thousand-man team!" ”

"Abandoned Haijin? But the family of the big guy ......"

"Don't! I can't keep it! Baturu gritted his teeth, "As long as our horse team is intact, even if these Nanban take Haijin Town, they won't be able to occupy it, if the horse team is broken...... They will be able to go to Yanjing! ”

Although this Baturu does not know how to read and write, let alone read any military books, he has grown up in the army since he was a child and has extremely rich combat experience. Almost instinctively, the most correct choice was made.

The superiority of the Mongols' military strength was not in the siege and defense of the city, but in the field of warfare! If the two Mongol thousand-man teams retreated into the broken city of Haijin, they would collapse the wooden fence with a big blow, and then there would be street fighting. The Mongolian horseman's kung fu is not used at all, and the Mongolians have no chance of winning by fighting a big blade in the alley! Besides, this Han army still has small thunder and big firearms, which are not at all able to resist the Mongols' broadswords, bows and arrows!

Baturu made a decision in an instant, and the Mongol army has always been strictly disciplined, and if you give an order, even if the people below are dissatisfied, you can only do it. Baturu will not be in his own home, where his wife, concubine, and fifteen-year-old daughter are all abandoned without seeing each other. It's not that he's hard-hearted, but he has to take the lead! Most of the officers and soldiers of the two Mongolian thousand-man teams under his command were old and had families. If he runs away with his wife and daughter, what will happen to the others? If everyone brought their families, would they still be able to run?

At that moment, Baturu got on his war horse, and with his personal guards of less than 100 people, he flew out of the south gate as if he were flying out, and approached the direction of the two thousand troops under his command.

With the departure of Baturu, the order in the town of Haijin was completely lost. The Semu soldiers who had just returned from the defeat outside the city did not listen to the officer's drive, and refused to go behind the thin wooden fence in Haijin Town to set up defenses, but instead broke to the south gate and the west gate, looting while retreating, and even more ferocious Semu soldiers set fire to the city, regardless of whether it was the houses of Han merchants or Hu merchants, in short, they burned them!

For a while, the situation in the city became even more chaotic, with the sound of cries, shouts, and the sound of weapons clashing. The inhabitants who had wanted to flee returned to their dwellings, closed the gates, and stood trembling with clubs, knives and axes.

The infantry of the first division commanded by Land Rover finally marched in formation to the outside of the east wall of Haijin Town, and did not fire artillery, because it was no longer needed. There are no defenders behind the wooden fence at all! Someone stepped forward to clear a section of the wooden fence with machetes and axes, and then a whole line of Northern Expeditionary soldiers swarmed into the city.

At the same time, frightened shouts rang out again around the Haihe wooden bridge! The people crowded here had already discovered that the horse team that was running at them was not the Mongols at all, but the cavalry of the Han people of the Southern Dynasty!

More than 1,000 horsemen rushed to the bottom of the Haihe Bridge, listed two phalanxes, and did not attack, but took out their guns and crossbows, and immediately opened their crossbows with arrows, as if they were going to shoot all the crowded people on and under the bridge with random arrows!

At the same time, the infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, about a thousand people, also set up the same formation on the other side of the wooden bridge!

"Heavenly Father! What are they doing here? ”

"They're going to kill all of us ......"

The two brothers Niccolò and Matteo on the bridge had a good line of sight, so they could see clearly, and the two brothers hugged their heads and cried. The others also saw that something was wrong, and the wooden bridge burst into tears.

"The people on the wooden bridge listened well, and it was said that His Majesty the King of Ming had told me that the Northern Expeditionary Army was here to kill Hu Lu! It has nothing to do with the Han people, the Han people on the bridge can leave! ”

Han people can live, but Semu has to die? For the first time, Niccolò and Matteo envied the lowliest third-class man in the Northlands...... No, they are no longer a third-class person, but a first-class person! A first-class person who can hold his head high and leave this wooden bridge alive!

The Han people on and under the bridge all sighed and squeezed out of the crowd, but when they wanted to leave, they were stopped by the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and everyone was gathered on the edge of the river.

At this time, another officer of the Northern Expeditionary Army began to shout: "Listen to the people, you have followed Mongolia and brought disaster to China for thirty or forty years, and the crimes you have committed are too numerous to mention, and you should have killed them all!" But King Ming is merciful and willing to open the net and give you a chance to atone for your sins! You all go down the bridge one by one and say, what can you do for King Ming? If you can't do anything, then die! (To be continued......)
