When Ding Haijun's offensive at Fengyi Gate slowed down slightly, Mu Huali took the opportunity to run in a hurry. He had been to Dading Prefecture in Beijing before and thought that Daxing Prefecture in Zhongdu was similar in size. Only now did he realize that this city was so huge. As he rode his horse, he felt that the buildings on both sides of the road were rising from his sight. It looks like a living giant, looking down.
This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. It wasn't until he crossed the layers of streets in one breath and reached the open space in front of a huge temple in the north of the city that the oppressive and uncomfortable energy faded a little. On the way back, he asked his subordinates to blow the horns and try to contact several other captains. At this time, on the other side of the street, Yeli Yasi, Shi'er Ali and Tuheilu all arrived.
Mu Huali's subordinates had a name, called the Red Army of Five Tou Xia Ma. Its composition is composed of Qianhu Nayan and Baihu from loyal tribes such as Zhala Yi'er Uluru Ti, Mawu Ti, Yiqilesi, Hongjisi, etc., leading the Tatar people, Kelei people, and Many people from hostile tribes conquered by Genghis Khan were not included in the 95,000 households when Genghis Khan founded the country, but were unified under the command of Muhuali.
Mu Huali usually drives them like lackeys, beating them when he wants, scolding them when he wants, and when he gives orders, these Qianhu nayans don't even dare to look up at him. But at this moment, three thousand captains came hand in hand, and their eyes towards Mu Huali were a little cold.
Mu Huali's face was expressionless, knowing in his heart that this was the result of the news of Genghis Khan's defeat and the immediate failure of the Zhongdu war!
"Captain Ten Thousands..." Yeli Yasinayan said: "The three of us discussed it just now and thought it would be better to retreat."
Mu Huali was silent for a moment, knowing that he could not object at this time, so he only said: "Can you wait a moment? I asked Duo'er to only go to see the Jurchen emperor, deliberately showing weakness and letting him leave under Shuhu Gaoqi and Guo Choose between Ning and Ning. If the emperor is smart enough, he might be able to give us some help."
Yeli Yasi frowned: "How is this possible?"
Tuheilu was the most cunning and wise among the three thousand captains. He thought about it and said: "...Maybe it's worth a try."
Although he had no fighting spirit, he had to admire Mu Huali's perseverance. So instead of Mu Huali, he explained to the other two people.
At this time, in Zhongdu, the Dinghai navy, which seemed to be taking the initiative, was short of troops and was not one of the Jurchens. Shuhu Gaoqi, who has sufficient troops, is a complete traitor and will never be recognized by the emperor. The Jurchen emperor was caught between these two forces. No matter what choice he made, he would suffer a big loss. I heard that the emperor himself came to power through a coup. He must know that at this time, he must retain the force of a third party for his emperor to be meaningful.
Where does the third party’s force come from?
In any case, it will not be the Mongolian army led by Genghis Khan, but it may be the remnants of the Mongolian army led by Muhuali after Genghis Khan's "defeat". At first glance, this sounds a bit absurd, but this is indeed the Jurchen's usual method of ruling the grassland, just like they did when they sealed Bule Khan and Tuoli Khan as kings.
As a person in a high position, at this time, it is easy to abandon the old enemy-enemy stance and start cooperation based on interests.
By then, the Mongols, who seem to be in a difficult situation, may be able to win new opportunities?
This is no longer a confrontation on the battlefield, but a political game. The two captains asked him several times before they understood what Mu Huali meant.
The two looked at each other and thought in thought: "Captain Ten Thousand, you don't really want to take refuge with the Jurchens, do you?"
"The Great Khan is still here, and the Great Mongol Kingdom is still here. Why have I gone crazy to seek refuge with those pigs?" Muhuali cursed, and then said: "They are just tools for us to gain benefits!"
To be honest, the three of them heard the whole city shouting that Genghis Khan was dead, and they were a little unsure of the situation. What if Mu Huali is fooling us, and what the navy shouts is the truth? What if that head really belongs to Genghis Khan...
Right now, it is indeed necessary to contact the Jurchen emperor. Even this communication channel does not necessarily have to be in Mu Huali's hands.
Immediately, the three captains nodded in unison: "Then wait and see what happens. However, let's go a little further north and get closer to Guangtai Gate. If there is any other situation, we might as well escape immediately!"
Mu Huali also nodded: "This is a good idea!"
While these Mongolian nobles were discussing, Duo'er had already passed through the Chaotic City and reached the city gate, relying only on her outstanding riding skills and skills. When he approached the city gate, he shouted loudly, claiming to be a messenger who wanted to report to the emperor. So he was guarded by several soldiers, pushed and pushed up the city wall, and now he was walking towards the tower of the city gate.
While walking along the inner female wall, he subconsciously looked down and found that there were actually many Mongolian corpses piled up under the city wall! Many of them were only recognized by Duo'er, and they were those who had been killed by Mu Hua earlier. Li sent troops outside the city to surround a thousand enemy households at Hui City Gate!
Looking at this appearance, could it be that he fell into the enemy's trick and swarmed into the barbican city, and then was shot to death by sharp arrows from all sides? No, many of them were shot in the back by arrows. They fought with the enemy and then retreated, only to be chased and shot to death by the enemy!
Duo'er suddenly became furious, but this anger did not make his blood boil like usual, but instead made him feel cold all over. He suddenly thought that there were loopholes in Mu Huali's hasty plan!
Mu Huali knew that the military power of Zhongdu was in the hands of Shuhu Gaoqi, and he also knew that Guo Ning was a rebel in the hands of the Jurchens, but he did not expect that this Jurchen emperor was so powerful that he could survive in the chaos. Strength was gathered in the capital! The fact that the troops stationed near the Hui City Gate were able to inflict heavy losses on the Mongols encircling the city proved that their strength was beyond Mu Huali's expectations!
Why is the Jurchen emperor so powerful? Where did their army come from?
Duoer couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Just when he hesitated, the soldiers behind him pushed him a few times and asked him to step onto the city platform. He suddenly felt a sense of fear that he had not seen for a long time, so he did not dare to look at the people on the city platform. He only lowered his head and said everything Mu Huali asked him to say. Fortunately, this humble attitude is in line with Mu Huali's requirements.
There was silence on the city platform for a while.
Suddenly someone laughed, and several Shen Xiong voices said: "It seems that the Mongolians are scared crazy by our missionaries. What are they thinking?"
Duoer suddenly raised her head. He saw in the open space in front of the city tower and below the city tower, there were middle-aged men with strange expressions crouching, officers half-crouching beside the middle-aged men as if to protect them, and a giant bald man stroking his head and speaking loudly. There were many general-looking people lined up like flying geese, but no one looked like an emperor.
The larger number were warriors covered in iron armor. It was the Jurchens' famous iron pagoda. Duo'er only knew about it, but when he took a second look, he realized that the uniforms and flags of these iron pagoda soldiers were very different from those of the ordinary Jin army!
He suddenly jumped up and said in a trembling voice: "Ding Haijun?"
This question caused more people to laugh.
It’s really Ding Haijun! Ding Haijun actually has ambushing troops in Zhongdu. They have long controlled the Jurchen emperor!
Duo'er just screamed wildly, turned his hand and drew his sword, and stabbed fiercely at a soldier who was approaching him.
His thrust missed. The opponent wore an iron helmet and armor, as well as greaves, arm guards and other iron accessories. Although they were not as tightly wrapped as the iron pagoda, they were still very heavy. But such heavy equipment did not affect this man's agile movements. Duo'er swung his sword and he stepped back slightly to get out of the way. Then he exerted force on his left leg and waved both arms at the same time, making a horizontal slashing motion.
Duo'er only felt a flash of silver light on her waist.
He looked down and saw his left arm falling to the ground first, and then blood spurting out from his waist and abdomen. When he felt pain, his entire upper body leaned back along the wound on his waist. At first there was only the red sky in his sight, and then it turned black.
Zhang Pingliang, who was standing sentry in the corner of the city platform, shouted happily: "Brother Ran did a great job!"
Monk Luo clapped his hands and signaled the generals to concentrate.
"Zhang Degang walked east along the city wall, controlling Tongxuan Gate, Gongchen Gate, and the arsenal along the way. He gathered his troops and met at Fengyi Gate. Lao Miao, you continue to go south along the city wall, controlling Zhangyi Gate and other places along the way. Land, and be sure to capture the granary north of Lize Gate and meet at Fengyi Gate. You two, I have the advantage now, please go ahead and do it!"
Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun responded and left.
Monk Luo laughed and turned to Chen Ran: "You guys, didn't you say that you have been floating on the river for five days and haven't caught anything? The Sa family won't fight with you! Now let's push it all the way from north to south. Go over there until you meet up with Guo Liulang...you will be the vanguard!"
Chen Ran was overjoyed. He bowed to accept the order, and immediately walked around to the back of the tower, holding the command flag and swinging it repeatedly.
In the Wengcheng behind the Huicheng Gate Tower, and even in the fields outside the Wengcheng, large groups of infantry and cavalry moved at the same time.
As they moved, countless fiery red flags dazzled people's eyes, making them unable to count them. Their soldiers and horses are at least four thousand, maybe six thousand.
The cavalry are wearing fine armor and riding tall horses. Their fierce posture makes people dare not look directly at them. They are as powerful as a wall or a mountain, and like a sharp blade about to dance in the sky. Almost all of the infantry were wearing armor and holding various weapons. They marched in a neat formation with a calm and reserved manner. Their footsteps had a uniform rhythm and made the ground tremble!
This army is a mixture of officers from Chen Ran's department and Ding Haijun headquarters.
Chen Ran's troops did not catch up with the fierce battle north of Triangle Lake, but after cleaning up the battlefield, some boats were freed up to carry the more capable officers of the Ding Navy Headquarters, such as Zhang Hui's troops. They took the boats and sailed along Lu Gou He went north and arrived at Zhongdu only half a day later than Guo Ning. Then according to the order sent by Guo Ning, he rushed to the north of Zhongdu City to support Monk Luo who was guarding the city gate.
Just now, they cooperated with Monk Luo's troops and completely annihilated the Mongolian army that tried to surround Huicheng Gate. Now, this force begins to enter the city in large numbers!
If Zhongdu was the original heavily guarded Zhongdu, the role of this force might still be limited, but Zhongdu has been turned upside down.
This last force that entered the Zhongdu battlefield became the force that ultimately decided the outcome. Once this force entered the city, it easily crushed all enemies who dared to resist, proving the overwhelming military superiority of the Dinghai Navy!
When Ding Haijun joined forces with Zhang Rou and Miao Daorun, generals with prestige in the Zhongdu army, when Ding Haijun controlled the emperor, and when Guo Ning began to urge his horse forward, his power was like an avalanche, and every time It grew every moment, eventually sweeping across the city and overwhelming all forces trying to oppose it.
When the Ding Navy invested this decisive force, there was no doubt who the new master of Zhongdu would be!
