Chapter 471: Soldiers besiege Dadu
The cowardly Xue army was defeated head-on to the Yuan army brought a huge impact, the five army guards couldn't help but be frightened, and Zhang Shijie also seized this opportunity, and immediately commanded the Ming cavalry and the Song cavalry on the left to attack them, Zheng He also led the infantry to force them from the rear at the same time, and those Great Song troops also completely eliminated the fear of the Yuan army at this time, and rushed towards those enemies who had begun to panic with firm steps.

Three times back and forth, the cowardly Xue army was killed to pieces, lost the command of An Tong, each thousand teams began to fight alone, in front of the unified command of the Great Sui Xiaoguo was broken by each one, even if there were thousands of commanders trying to take over An Tong's command, they were also killed by Li You and Fan Wenchao at the first time, the battle lasted for an hour, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the 5,000 cowardly Xue army, they had lost the courage to continue fighting at this time, and began to turn their horses' heads and flee in the direction of Dadu.
Of course, there are some clever ones, secretly calculating the remnants of the troops in the capital, fleeing halfway to the road and starting to deviate from the road, embarking on the road to the south or further north, and even some cowardly Xue army with ulterior motives, then turned west, intending to tell the news to Ali Buge's children and grandchildren, in his opinion, maybe this time Kublai Khan may die at the hands of these southern barbarian troops.
Since the cowardly Xue army began to flee, then the remaining five armies of course will not still insist, the Mongolian army as a whole collapsed, but unfortunately this time the Great Song coalition army also has a large number of cavalry, under the pursuit along the road, the Mengyuan army suffered heavy casualties, 12,000 elites followed An Tong out of the city to meet the enemy, but less than 2,000 people survived.
Moreover, most of the members of the cowardly Xue army are the children of the nobles of Mengyuan, this battle can be said to have hurt them fundamentally, if their father and brother get the news, I am afraid that they will be very dissatisfied with Kublai Khan, right? It's a pity that Kublai Khan probably won't see this day, but this is a big obstacle for his descendants to inherit the throne; Although the crown prince Zhenjin, his grandson Ganmala, Timur and others are still in the capital, but his fifth son Hu Gechi was named the king of Yunnan, and the third son of the king of Anxi, Busy Gela, has died of illness this year, but his son Ananda has inherited the throne, if Zhenjin and others are dead, they are also qualified to be the Great Khan, if there is no support from the nobles of the cowardly Xue Jun line, I am afraid that they want to inherit the throne smoothly, but it is not so easy.
"Zhang Shumi led people to clean up the battlefield, collect the wounded, and all the cavalry approached Dadu with me." After the battle, Li You changed back to the prime minister's costume, and immediately took the cavalry of the Great Sui Xiaoguo and the Great Song and Ming Dynasty to continue to kill Dadu without taking a break, he didn't want Kublai Khan to run away after hearing the news, and this long-distance attack must block Kublai Khan and his descendants in the capital.
Therefore, he temporarily divided the Great Song Dynasty coalition army into two groups, he took the cavalry first, and Zhang Shijie took the infantry and waited for the battlefield to clean up and then came slowly; Of course, the cavalry could not attack the city, but they were able to block Kublai Khan in the capital, so that he could not escape, and as for the siege, the infantry who came slowly to do it.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!" In the Daning Palace outside the capital, Kublai Khan was still smiling and smiling with generals such as Ahma, Yuechi Cha'er, Kudu Da'er, Yuxi Timur, and Marco Polo, as well as the favored minister Marco Polo, guessed how long it would take for An Tong to send back the news of the victory, but he didn't expect him to wait for bad news, and a cowardly Xue rushed into the palace and reported the news of An Tong's fiasco.
"What? An Tong was defeated? Yue Chi Cha'er, who was the same as An Tong, looked at this cowardly Xue in disbelief, he was the great-grandson of Boerhu, one of the "Four Heroes".
Kudu Da'er, Yuxi Timur and turned around at the same time, they are the same cowardly Xue Chang as An Tong, Yuxi Timur is the grandson of Borshu, one of the "Four Masters", Kudu Da'er is the descendant of Chi Lao Wen, and the dead An Tong is the fourth grandson of Mu Huali, which is also the old system of Cowardly Xue, and the four Cowardly Xue Chang are all descendants of the "Four Heroes".
"The Great Song cavalry is unstoppable, Lord An Tong personally led five thousand cowardly Xue to fight against five thousand Song cavalry, who expected that the general with a mask who led the army of the Great Song Dynasty was really brave, Lord An Tong was stabbed off his horse in a round, and died under the trampling of the horses, and then the armies were in chaos and were defeated by the Song army." This cowardly Xue wailed and told the story of this battle, and finally kowtowed, "This time 12,000 elite soldiers are fighting, I am afraid that there are not even 1,000 who can come back, and now the vanguard of the Song army is coming to Dadu." "On the way back, those who were killed by Li You's army and those who fled elsewhere had fewer defeated soldiers in Meng Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the battlefield is not far away, I'm afraid there is not much time now, it's better to plan early." As soon as I heard that the Song army was approaching Dadu. Not only were the ministers a little panicked, Ahma hurriedly came out and said, "The eagle can only fly over the mountains if it has wings, Your Majesty should hurry up and lead the troops north!" ”
"Judging from the situation just now, most of the Nanban's army is probably less than ten miles away from the capital, and if they lead the troops north, I'm afraid it will be a little late." Yue Chi Cha'er knew that now Kublai Khan's concubines and heirs were still scattered everywhere, and his family was the same, if he ran now, these people were afraid that they would fall into the hands of the Song army, and the current Mongols had no decision to leave their children and flee on their own, "Therefore, it is better to enter the capital first to take refuge for a while, and at the same time send envoys to ask for help from the nearby army, as long as they hold on for ten days and half a month, the nearby reinforcements should also arrive, and when the time comes, the troops will gather to make these southern barbarians have no return." ”
For a time, two factions were formed in the court, one faction led by Ahma to support the escape, and the other faction led by Yuechi Cha'er and others, resolutely demanding to enter the city and defend on the spot; Kublai Khan pondered for a moment, and finally chose to enter the city, first, he is now the emperor, no longer the tribal leader of the steppe, if he hears that the enemy army is coming, what will it look like to flee? Second, Yuechi Cha'er also made sense, as long as he held the capital, he could win the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, which was more meaningful than escaping.
Immediately, the ministers rushed out and scattered everywhere to gather their troops, and finally they rushed into the capital city that had not yet been built before Li You's army arrived.
"It's still a step too late!" Looking at the gate of the capital that had just been closed, Li You didn't have many regrets, maybe Kublai Khan would take the opportunity to escape in the melee outside the city, and now it was not so easy to enter the city and think about it, just enough to catch turtles in an urn, he immediately ordered, "Hold on to the four sides of the capital, and don't escape one!"
