On the east side of the capital, Li You, Zhang Shijie and Zheng He led the army slowly, behind them there was the Shenji Battalion under Zheng He, the Great Song Dynasty heavy infantry controlled by Zhang Shijie, and an elite cavalry with full armor, Zhang Shijie looked at this cavalry with emotion, "There are so many elites under General Zheng, not only are firearms unparalleled, but even the cavalry is so heroic." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zheng He smiled silently, this army was not the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, but the five thousand Sui Xiaoguo army summoned by Li You after he went ashore, just a little disguise in the name of Zheng He.

Hey, this mission is a big loss! Li You looked at the Great Sui Xiaoguo led by Fan Wenchao, and was really distressed, in order to complete the task of saving the Great Song Dynasty, he summoned two armies one after another, and consumed the previous accumulation.

But this is also a helpless thing, unlike before, they must capture the capital this time, but also to prevent Kublai Khan from escaping, no matter what, the support of an elite cavalry is indispensable, but Zheng He's fleet has too few cavalry, and the Song army lacks numbers, and the cavalry is unusable, as a last resort, he can only summon this Great Sui Xiaoguo army, thinking that with this and Xuanjia cavalry, known as the world's three elite troops, this battle may have more chances of winning.

There were a total of 50,000 troops accompanying this battle, including 5,000 Xiaoguo Jing cavalry, 3,600 Shenji battalions under Zheng He, 5,000 infantry, 2,400 cavalry, and 30,000 Song infantry and thousands of cavalry, most of the rest were guarding near Zhigu Village, guarding the fleet and waiting for their return.

"I hope Kublai Khan will not run away, if he leaves most of the capital and flees far away, then this battle is meaningless even if he wins." Li You said worriedly, he pinned the hope of the Great Song Dynasty to turn the situation on the killing of Kublai Khan, at this time it has only been more than ten years since Kublai Khan defeated Ali Buge and ascended to the Khan's throne, the remnants of Ali Buge's family still resist from time to time, the fourth son of the Great Khan Mengge, Puriji, Ali Buge's son Mingli Timur and Yaomu Hu'er and others are in the northwest to make trouble, although the son of Hulegu and the khan of the Ilkhanate Abhaha sees himself as only the deputy of Kublai Khan, but if Kublai Khan dies, The Central Plains can't find a suitable Great Khan in a short period of time, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will also have dissenting hearts, so as long as Kublai Khan and Prince Zhenjin and others are more famous than the capital, it is impossible to say that the Mongols will fight first with their own people like the Great War between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge, and then the Song military may take a little breather and continue to accumulate strength for the right opportunity.

Therefore, even if these 50,000 people are exhausted, Li You will kill Kublai Khan and his descendants who left in the capital, such as the crown prince Zhenjin, his grandson Gan Mala, Timur and others, so that Meng Yuan will not be able to find an heir who can convince the public in a short time; Now he is not very worried about defeating Meng Yuan, but he is afraid that Kublai Khan will take the lead in escaping when the time is not right.

"Report to Lord Xiangguo, the army of Meng Yuan has reached twenty miles ahead." While he was worried, the Tanma in front sent back a good news, "There are about more than 10,000 enemies, and half of them look like cowardly Xue Jun." ”

"Good!" Li You didn't laugh back, it seems that the long-term victory made Kublai Khan never think that he would lose at all, more than 10,000 people dared to face him, thinking that he would not run away, "Now there are less than 30,000 Mengyuan troops left near the capital, and now more than 10,000 people have been dispatched, as long as this battle is won, we can block Kublai Khan in the capital." ”

So the Chinese army split and stopped the pace of advance, ready to start the battle when it arrived, the terrain here is open and suitable for large-scale operations, Li You commanded the army to begin to arrange, Zheng He's Shenji battalion was placed in the forefront, and then there was the Song army's firecrackers, but unfortunately the procedure for making the Shenji bow was too cumbersome, so they lost a weapon for long-range attack, Xiaoguo Jingcai was located on the right side of the Shenji battalion, on the left was the cavalry of the Ming army and the Song army, and there was a trebuchet that was originally intended to be used to siege the city in the rear of the firecrackers, These would also inflict great casualties on the Yuan army, surrounded by countless heavily armored infantry.

When everything was ready, the cavalry temporarily dismounted to recuperate their horsepower, and the infantry sat on the ground to save their strength, although there was still a trace of apprehension in their hearts, but the experience of killing the instigator and Ali Hague one after another made them no longer full of fear of the Yuan army.

"The Chinese army will be handed over to General Zheng, Zhang Shumi is in charge of the cavalry on the left, and the prime minister will go to the right to preside over the overall situation, these cavalry are fighting against the Mengyuan army for the first time, and they need to be taken care of." As soon as he thought of the upcoming rush, Li You's heart was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he didn't want to hide in the rear to command, so he threw off everyone, dropped the banner and came to the front of the Xiaoguo Jing Cavalry, taking advantage of the fact that there were no Great Song officials around him now, he quietly put on his armor, summoned the Zhulong horse, took out the sky-shaking bow and Liquan gun, and waited for the battle to start and fight for a while.

Thinking about it, it seems that there is something wrong, so he took out a mask made of stainless steel from his arms and put it on his face, in the past, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, and Di Qing, the famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, wore the face on the battlefield because they were too handsome and worried that they would not be able to deter the enemy, but now they are to avoid people's eyes.

After doing all this, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, Li You gave the order, the soldiers behind him raised their flags and waved, the coalition army composed of the Great Sui, the Great Song and the Ming Dynasty got up one after another, the cavalry turned over and mounted their horses, the musketeers and gunners began to load, and the infantry drew their weapons and prepared to meet the challenge of the Yuan army.

"Warriors favored by the Immortal Heaven, rush with me!" An Tong saw that the Song army was waiting for the battle, without the slightest scruples, and rushed towards the Song army with the army, and the Xue army took out the bow and arrows and began to throw them, and the Ming army in front of the Shenji battalion did not move at all, allowing the rain of arrows to attack, but the strength of the horse bow was not enough, and it did not cause them much damage.

"Put!" Seeing that the Mongol cavalry had entered the range of firearms, Zheng He immediately issued an order, and countless firecrackers and artillery, together with crossbows and trebuchets in the rear, were fired together, and lead bullets, cannonballs, arrows and boulders attacked the Yuan army at the same time, which immediately made their attack stall.

Tried to attack several times head-on but were beaten back by the army in front, An Tong was not stubborn, so he began to find a way to detour back to the right side of the Song army, leaving the personal guards of the five armies to continue to harass the Chinese army, and he took the cowardly Xue army to attack the Great Sui Xiaoguo, and the two powerful cavalry with hundreds of years apart were about to start colliding.
