In other words, Harlem City at this time was the capital established after Temujin's defeat. The palace city or imperial city was located in the northwest of the city. Not only did it occupy more than a quarter of the entire city, but the two palace walls in the southwest were simply It shares the city gate with the city wall of Yanjing City... It is a typical large area, few people, and air leakage everywhere.
And this directly caused Miyagi's defense to become a big problem.
In other words, when Temujin built the imperial city, he had no idea of defending the palace at all.
The Meng Yuan Dynasty has always focused on charging and killing with cavalry, and is not good at attacking or defending cities.
There has never been any tall city wall built on the grassland to form a solid capital city.
Under this circumstance, the palace, located near the center of the city, is also slowly developing, becoming somewhat like an inner city.
In fact, Temujin also wanted to build Harlem into a strong capital city, and also wanted to build his palace into a deep-walled compound.
However, they lack craftsmen and materials.
It is impossible to achieve it with just a blue brick.
This is also the reason why Temujin and others must go south. The grasslands are becoming desertified and the Central Plains is rich in resources.
Why are the Central Plains people enjoying such good resources?
The Mongolian people have to endure the long winter and become nomads?
"What did you say?"
In the dusk, the dark walls of the palace were looming under the firelight, and the news of Meng Ge's death in battle finally came back.
The old Temujin was stunned for only a moment before he vomited blood and fainted.
"Sweat!"
"Quickly call the High Priest, the Great Khan has fainted!"
Suddenly, the entire hall was like a palace in a huge yurt, in chaos.
Kublai Khan held Temujin in his arms, feeling extremely anxious.
While asking for help, he put Temujin on the couch while asking about the circumstances of Meng Ge's death in battle.
It was learned that Brother Meng had not listened to the envoy's advice and had been sitting on the watchtower with the flag standing next to him, which made him an obvious target.
After the Daqian Forbidden Army made a surprise attack on the camp, they had to lead the troops to fight. However, they were overturned by a burst of fire and the watchtower was overturned, so they sighed.
There was some regret in my heart for not sending my own people to inform Meng Ge of the actual situation on the West Road.
Now that Meng Ge is dead, the hope for him as the leader of the country has indeed become greater, and there are greater possibilities.
But now there are internal and external troubles. Once Meng Ge dies, Haidu, Hulagu, and Ali Bu Ge will all want to fight.
What can he do?
Even if he didn't fight, his subordinates wouldn't be willing.
If he really doesn't fight, all his subordinates will leave him.
After all, the warriors on the grassland have always respected the strong.
He would be willing to give up military power, would be willing to continue to bow his head and be a small boy, and just be a prince of Meng Yuan.
Watching others push Meng Yuan into the fire pit, watching Meng Yuan destroy himself?
impossible.
Kublai Khan instantly thought of the worst consequences that would occur in the future.
But now that it was over, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
The high priest has arrived.
This is the witch doctor of Meng Yuan.
Just after listening to Kublai Khan's words, he went to prepare a bowl of medicine.
Kublai Khan personally served and fed Temujin.
"Bo Yan, immediately lead people to guard the entire imperial capital. If anyone disobeys discipline, kill him directly."
Boyan is his subordinate and a famous general who is brave and good at fighting.
Get orders.
Boyan immediately bowed and replied: "Yes."
Their expressions changed when they saw Kublai Khan finishing the medicine, letting Temujin lie down, and getting up to give the first order.
Wu Lianghetai stood up directly and asked in a deep voice: "Kublai Khan, what do you want to do?"
This man followed Temujin in the north and south, and later became Meng Ge's teacher.
Therefore, when he heard that Kublai Khan asked Boyan to guard the entire imperial capital, he suddenly panicked and felt that the other party wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.
Nothing more.
Until now, no one knows the reality, that is, Meng Ge is dead.
The backer fell.
Naturally, we need to find a second backer.
However, Wu Lianghetai was relatively hostile to Kublai Khan before, and there was a slight conflict between the two sides.
At this time, because of this influence, he did not immediately turn to Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan stared at him and said, "What to do?"
"The king is defeated in Shuozhou, and the Daqian Prince will definitely continue to go north."
"My father is unconscious now, so someone must step up and take charge, lay out fortifications, and prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
"Until Father Khan wakes up, the emperor cannot be in chaos."
"It's chaos."
"Then give Prince Daqian a chance to annihilate us all."
"In today's imperial capital, almost all the princes of Meng Yuan are here. If they all die here, Meng Yuan will be like a country that has perished."
"I am protecting Meng Yuan Guozuo!"
Wu Lianghetai opened his mouth but said nothing more.
Because he also understood that Meng Ge, whom he relied on, had died in the battle, and the next leader of the country was likely to be the person in front of him. If he had a bigger conflict with the other party this time, once Kublai Khan became the leader of the country, Lord, he will definitely be questioned.
"Mu Huali, you lead the troops to garrison the palace."
Mu Huali bowed and saluted and said, "I obey."
Kublai Khan looked around at the Meng Yuan minister here, put his hand on his chest, bowed and saluted, and then said sincerely: "Gentlemen, it is very likely that the imperial army will attack."
"They have such powerful weapons. The Meng Yuan cavalry are no longer eagles or ferocious beasts."
"Under the light of fire, no matter how brave a warrior is, he can turn into a pile of flesh and blood."
"We can either retreat directly to Ulan Batu and use the vast grasslands to start a bloody battle with the Daqian Forbidden Army."
"Use the speed of the Mongolian Yuan cavalry to harass the Imperial Guards and force them to separate their forces."
"As long as our cavalry does not gather together, no matter how powerful the fire weapon is, it will not be so powerful that it will directly destroy thousands of cavalry."
"But... Marshal Haidu and Brother Ali are still on the West Road, and the battle report from there hasn't been sent yet."
"We have to wait for them here!"
It must be said that Kublai Khan did have strong leadership abilities.
At this time, you can still remain calm and cool, immediately start deploying defenses, and think of an escape route.
Listened to what he said.
The ministers of the Meng Yuan Dynasty also felt that there was some truth.
Wutu Sahari stood up and said loudly: "What the Fourth Highness said makes sense. There can be no chaos in the imperial capital now. Not only that, but people must be sent to the West Road immediately to let the commander-in-chief of Haidu return to the defense."
"Now is the time of Meng Yuan's life and death crisis, everyone must put away those little thoughts of yours."
"Everything is focused on Meng Yuan and Guo Zuo."
"Defend Daqian and go north, let Haidu return to defense."
“Give up Harlem.”
"Retreat to Ulan Batu!"
This is now the prime minister of Meng Yuan, so his words naturally have some weight. He was the first to stand up and support Kublai Khan, which Kublai Khan did not expect.
He glanced at Wutu Sahari, with a hint of doubt and a hint of joy in his eyes.
Seeing this, the remaining people could only bow and salute, expressing their willingness to obey Kublai Khan's orders.
…
On the third day after the war, the generals of the Imperial Guard gathered in the meeting hall in the backyard of Shuozhou City Government Office.
Di Qing, Xin Qiji, and Zhang Shijie all had some injuries on their bodies.
The injury is not serious.
After all, when fighting in the midst of thousands of troops, with swords and guns blind, injuries are inevitable.
"The Mongolian army retreated in two groups. In order to avoid being counterattacked by the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, we pursued them for about twenty miles."
Di Qing pointed at the map and said: "In this way, more than 10,000 Mongolian troops will take the Zuoyun Road; more than 30,000 people will take the Qingshui River Road."
Xiao Yi looked at the map and saw that a few hundred miles north of Shuozhou was Harin, the capital of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
"It seems that it is not appropriate to pursue him."
Di Qing nodded and continued his analysis: "The Mongolian army has suffered a huge defeat now. In addition, the impact of Meng Ge's death on the morale of the army has gradually weakened. They will never collapse as easily as they did on the battlefield outside Shuozhou City. ”
"Furthermore, if we continue to pursue, we are very likely to encounter the Meng Yuan cavalry defending Harlem. In terms of marching speed and geographical location, they are not on our side... Moreover, the soldiers of the imperial army are exhausted and their troops are small. Once they encounter the Meng Yuan cavalry defending Harlem, It must be difficult for the iron cavalry to form a strong counterattack."
Xiao Yi nodded again.
In the final analysis, Meng Ge died suddenly on the battlefield, which was the reason why the Daqian Forbidden Army was able to win in the end.
Such an opportunity is rare. The Mongolian army has recovered its strength and will be defeated if it tries to fight again.
The strength of the Daqian Forbidden Army is also insufficient. In the past two days, they have been too busy just clearing the battlefield and burying corpses, and they are unable to pursue them...
Xiao Yi typed on the map, thought about it for a long time, and finally spoke in a deep voice.
"There is news from the Anxi Protectorate that the Meng Yuan thieves are continuing to attack the city. However, under the artillery fire, the power of the Meng Yuan cavalry has been greatly reduced."
"We killed Meng Ge in a surprise attack here. If the news reaches Harlem, Temujin will definitely withdraw his troops."
"However, the last time my father personally conquered the army, due to insufficient troops, he could only repel Temujin and build a heavy city here in Jinyang."
"Temujin chose to re-establish the imperial capital in Harlem. Everyone understands his intentions."
"If we cannot take advantage of this opportunity to completely pacify Meng Yuan, in the future, our descendants will continue to be threatened by Meng Yuan, a barbarian who mainly uses iron cavalry."
"If you say something unpleasant, the younger generation is incompetent."
"I would like to ask, will the Central Plains suffer another war provoked by barbarians?"
Everyone was silent.
Di Qing directly clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness is determined to bring peace to all generations, and we shall follow him to the death!"
He supported Prince Xiao Yi's plan to destroy the Meng Yuan and completely resolve the barbarian troubles in the North.
Create peace for all generations.
After the fall of Xixia, after the governance of Daqian, there was little public resentment, and the voice of resistance became weaker and weaker.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has mentioned before how to achieve world unity.
Destroy the Meng Yuan and educate the barbarians.
After a few generations, they only knew that they were Daqian people, not descendants of Mongolian Yuan Dynasties. This was success.
"Well, let's rectify the Forbidden Army first. This battle will consume a lot of soldiers and cause a lot of damage."
"The treatment that deserves the treatment, the pension that deserves the pension."
"Then, continue recruiting."
"Wait for the battle report from the Anxi Protectorate before making plans."
"With the current strength of our troops, it is too urgent and dangerous to continue heading north."
Di Qing, Xin Qiji, Zhang Shijie and other generals raised their hands and said: "Here!"
Three days later.
The battle report from the Anxi Protectorate came.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, a letter from General Yue!"
