The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 565 The Final Battle

"Opportunity lasts forever?" After Caienjiya left, Kublai Khan said to himself, "Opportunity? Do I still have a chance? Does the Yuan Dynasty still have a chance? Does it mean that after retreating to the capital, we can start all over again?" ?”

After coming out of Kublai Khan's study, Cai Njiya stood quietly outside for a while, then walked towards the temporary barracks in front of the palace gate.

Although the Song army has already attacked one mile outside the palace, the nearly 6 Yuan troops stationed in the palace are still calm. Among the [-] horses, except for the [-] Han troops under Zhang Hongfan, almost all of them are Mongolians. , Semu elite fighters, it can also be seen that the quality of the Mongolian soldiers is indeed very high.

Cai Njiya went straight to the command post of the army and called the prince Namuhan, the general Ashu and Ali Haiya together.Among the three, Namuhan can represent the Mongolian army stationed in the Western Regions, Ashu can represent the Central Route Army and the Qixue Army, and Ali Haiya can represent the Semu soldiers in the Western Regions, which almost includes more than [-]% of the imperial palace. combat power.

"Three generals, everyone is very clear about the current situation. Our army lost, but our army did not lose to the Song army, but to their weapons." Cai Enjiya said bluntly, "For the time being , The firearms of the Southern Dynasty are irresistible to our Dynasty. For this reason, the deity decided to persuade the emperor to withdraw his troops and return to Shangdu. , then the deity will take the law of breaking the law."

"Breaking the law?" The three of them were taken aback, thinking that Cai Enjiya was going to usurp power and seize the throne, they were all furious in their hearts, but due to Cai Enjiya's prestige and peerless martial arts, none of them got angry, they just remained silent.

Caien Jiya smiled lightly and said: "The meaning of this deity is to hold the emperor hostage and take him away from the capital."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Ashu, who had been repeatedly defeated by firearms, was the first to express his opinion: "My lord, Ashu is willing to obey your arrangement."

Ashu's prestige in the army is much higher than that of the prince Namuhan and Ali Haiya. Now that Ashu expressed his position, the other two immediately followed suit: "We are willing to act according to the wishes of His Excellency."

"Okay, after tomorrow's sunset, I will let you know."

"Yes, Your Excellency." The three said respectfully.

After the bombardment the next day, Kublai Khan returned to his study alone, and did not summon any ministers. Like yesterday, he closed himself up, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

The three of them, including Ashu, acted separately, making preparations for withdrawing northward at night.

At night, Namuhan and Ashu came to Kublai Khan's study with Cai Enjiya under the pretext of reporting military affairs.Just after saying a few words, Kublai Khan, who was in a trance, felt Cai Njiya swaying in front of his eyes, and then fainted on the seat.

Cai Enjiya moved so quickly that even Ah Shu, who was the coach of the Central Army, couldn't see clearly the number of his shots. He only secretly admired him in his heart. half of the power.

"Namuhan, Ashu."

"exist."

"When can the army leave?"

"Back to the adults, it is ready and ready to go at any time."

Cai Enjiya nodded and said: "Okay, we will act on time at midnight tonight. Namuhan, if someone asks, he will say that the emperor suddenly fell ill and ordered you and General Ashu to command the entire army. In addition, order the East and West The two armies head north and return to Shangdu."

Namuhan said: "Yes, my lord."

A Shu said: "The Lord Hedan on the west road should have no problem, but I don't know if General Dong Wenbing on the east road will follow us back to Shangdu?"

Cai Enjiya sighed and said: "A friend in need is a friend. Although General Dong is highly regarded by the emperor, he is a Han Chinese after all. You can stay or go with him. You two, do you have any other questions?"

Namuhan asked, "My lord, where are the ministers in the court?"

"The useful ministers in the court, such as Emperor Hao Jing, Guoshi Ba Siba and other thirty or so deities have ordered Fajue and other people from Tianya to send them out of the north gate of the capital. They should be on their way north now. Other North Korean and Chinese officials like Ahema, let them fend for themselves."

"My lord, what about the people in the palace?" A Shu thought for a while before asking.

Cai En Jiya said without hesitation but seemed to be understated: "In the middle of the night, except for those in the army, basically everyone is sleeping soundly. If there are a few obstructers, just kill them."

Although Ashu and Namuhan were battle-tested people, they not only shuddered secretly when they heard what Njiya said.

"Okay, let's split things up, the emperor will hand over the thousand guards led by Yin Shenzun, and they will set off now."

"Yes, my lord."

In a courtyard near the south gate of the Metropolitan City, I convened the main generals inside and outside the Metropolitan City to make the final deployment and arrangements for the strategy and tactics of tomorrow's World War I.

"Generals, the battle of Dadu has come to an end. After tomorrow's bombardment, the walls of Kublai Khan's palace will be destroyed. The battle of the palace is likely to be the most intense battle. For this final battle, all armies must Be prepared and don't be careless. In this battle, although our army has a huge advantage, the advantage is not a victory after all. Therefore, all armies must be careful to face the ultimate counterattack of the Yuan army before death. "

"The sea battle to the east of Dadu has ended. With the end of the Bohai Bay battle, the entire sea area along the coast has been completely controlled by our navy. I estimate that after tomorrow's battle, Kublai Khan may withdraw his troops to the north and return to his hometown. The old nest, make a comeback with plans, but there is also a possibility of a decisive battle with our army in the palace. For this, our army will respond according to the latter situation. General Lu Wenhuan, General Yin Yinglei, and General Zhao Huai, the three of you will announce tomorrow's battle The specific arrangements of the various armies in China.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

It's an exciting morning.

Before dawn, I got up early.

"Gongsun Xiaochen, what happened to the Mongols last night?"

"Back to the emperor, there is no movement."

"Xiaochen, Xiuyan, do you think Kublai Khan will slip away?"

Tian Xiuyan said: "The general thinks that this should be the best choice for Kublai Khan."

Gongsun Xiaochen said: "Your Majesty, if Kublai Khan is allowed to escape from Dadu, wouldn't it be more difficult to kill him in the future?"

"Based on the strength and firepower of our army, it is not enough to encircle the city. The purpose of this Northern Expedition is only to recover the mountains and rivers of our dynasty and drive the Mongols out of our homeland. If we want to wipe them all out, our army The soldiers don't know how much they have to sacrifice. As for the future, I believe that with the rapid development of our dynasty, the firearms will become more and more advanced and the number will increase. By then, Kublai Khan will be completely defeated , it will be easy to conquer the world."

"Conquer the world?" Gongsun Xiaochen said in a daze, "Your Majesty, is it going to be like the Mongolian army's expedition?"

For a long time, I only said that I want to regain the mountains and rivers that I lost, and I want to lead the Song Dynasty to the top of the world. As for "conquering the world", this is the first time I have proposed it.

"Xiaochen, Xiuyan, my goal is to let me stand on top of the world forever. I love peace and I don't want to go to war with others easily. However, there are always some disobedient neighbors around me. Make trouble, for these neighbors, only by bringing them into our territory, learning our culture, following our laws, and completely sinicizing them, can they be settled once and for all, and the future troubles will be eliminated."

After the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty, the descendants of Genghis Khan established the Yuan Dynasty. Although it lasted less than 100 years before being driven back to the desert by Zhu Yuanzhang, it made Great China decline from then on. Consciousness tends to be numb, and more than 200 years later, when the Qing soldiers entered the pass, although the so-called Kangxi and Qiang Dynasty appeared, it was only the peak of feudal society. This is like a primary school student who is unwilling to enter middle school. Well, that is at the elementary school level, and all the students around him have entered the middle school to study. When he woke up, he realized that the knowledge others had mastered was not understood by him.The wheel of history has moved forward for more than 200 years, the Japanese invaded, and the eight-year war of resistance. Fortunately, many people woke up this time, and there was no tragedy of being ruled by a foreign race again.

Gongsun Xiaochen and Tian Xiuyan seemed to understand, but they didn't ask any more questions.

After I finished speaking, I smiled and brought Yuan Ji, Fang Ling and a group of personal guards to the forward command post.

"See Your Majesty."

"No courtesy. Generals, are you ready?"

"All right."

"Well, pass on my will and start shelling."

About a quarter of an hour later, A Shu, who was hiding in a bunker under the inner wall of the palace, poked his probe and saw that the palace wall was already in dilapidated condition, and it would collapse in half an hour at most.Ashu shook his head, and then issued an order to withdraw troops.As the last batch of retreating soldiers, under the leadership of A Shu, [-] Kexue troops left the palace in an orderly manner through the smoke scattered after the artillery explosion, and stepped onto the preparation ground next to the north wall of the palace. Good steed.

"The whole army listened to the order and marched directly to the north gate. General Ali Haiya was there to meet us." After giving the order, A Shu looked back at the newly completed palace behind him, and with a long sigh, he patted his horse and headed north.

With the collapse of the palace walls of the Yuan Dynasty, the Zhongshun Army who served as the vanguard took the lead in attacking.Amidst the explosion of bombs thrown, Meng Tianxiang, the commander of the Zhongshun Army, was the first to rush in.

Meng Tianxiang is very skilled in martial arts, but he also knows that there are many generals in the Yuan army who are not equal to him, especially Yin Tianya who is as famous as Yuan Ji, so after entering the palace, he dare not neglect, holding a gun in his right hand and holding a gun in his left hand. Sword, looked around cautiously.

After a while, the smoke dissipated slightly and the visibility improved a lot, but Meng Tianxiang still didn't see a Yuan army. This was completely different from his previous estimate. Are the Mongols playing tricks?Or retreat?
