Xu Liewu reluctantly said: "I'm thinking about how the prince Xiao Yi will advance. Your Majesty, do you think the previous battle in Shuozhou was a ground-breaking move? Are the two battles at the Anxi Protectorate an orderly advance and retreat? Now Does a three-pronged attack on Harlem count as an invasion like fire?"
Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment, unable to refute for a while, but soon he came back to his senses and looked at Hulagu again: "Forget it, whether it is a ground-breaking shock or an invasion like fire, now, are we Is there only one way to go?"
"Yes, not only is there only one way to guard, but there is also only one way to guard," Xu Liewu blurted out.
Kublai Khan thought for a moment, and seemed to have thought of Xu Liewu's meaning, and immediately asked: "Let's meet the troops and face the prince Xiao Yi?"
Xu Liewu said in a deep voice: "Yes."
"Our Meng Yuan cavalry are good at riding, not guarding the city of Harlem."
"Your Majesty, how about Harlem City, Shuozhou City, and the capital of Xingqing Mansion?"
"No matter how strong the city wall is, if it meets that prince Xiao Yi, I'm afraid it will just be an earthen wall, right?"
"Your Majesty, you should have heard about his attack on Jinyang City. Li Yuan's army could stop us and the gold thief, but they could not stop him."
"It's the same thing in Harlem."
Hulagu became calmer and calmer as he spoke.
At the same time, there is also some pathos.
"Take the initiative to attack!"
Hulagu straightened his body and expression, solemnly and solemnly, and with a determination to look forward to death, and said: "The south is wide. It was also there that Khan and Dagan fought. At the same time, he fought to the death without retreating. The determination left a breath for Meng Yuan... Now, we are here, on this vast grassland, to show the superb riding skills, precise archery and determination of our Meng Yuan warriors to fight to the death."
"The sooner we have a decisive battle with the Da Gan Forbidden Army, the more powerful we will be. Once it is delayed and the Da Gan Forbidden Army is delayed in a decisive battle first, attacking in three directions, and besieging Harlem, the situation will be even worse! And if we want to quickly fight with the Da Gan Forbidden Army, we will have a decisive battle." If we engage in a decisive battle with the Imperial Guards, we can take advantage of the fact that they are divided into three groups and directly attack their front!"
"In this way, we will not face half a million strong imperial troops, and we will not be besieged in Harlem. In the end, we will run out of food and water, and eventually starve to death."
Hearing this, Kublai Khan finally touched the map and smiled bitterly: "You are right. After all, it is Batu of Great Mongolia. I am not as good as you. In this case, let's join forces. I, Boyan, You, and everyone here, fight to the death for the survival of Meng Yuan, for the continuation of Meng Yuan’s bloodline, and for the people of Mongolia to freely graze on the grasslands, and never retreat!"
"Those who retreat will be killed!"
It was only a hundred miles away from Harlem. After Xin Qiji defeated the ten thousand households and trained for a day and night, he continued to lead his troops northward.
The wounded soldiers were arranged to be carried by militiamen and auxiliary soldiers, or pulled by people and vehicles, and dragged back to Shuozhou City for treatment.
The soldiers who were still capable of fighting continued to follow the army northward, fighting against the generals along the way.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!"
Xin Qiji raised the spear in his hand and pointed it directly at the thousands of Meng Yuan thieves in front.
The closer we got to Harlem, the tighter the defense became. Within ten miles, we encountered a cavalry squad, and within ten miles, we encountered the Meng Yuan cavalry.
Most of them were unarmored cavalry. They looked more like herdsmen grazing nearby and were directly involved in the war.
This is Meng Yuan. The soldiers were originally herdsmen, but they became soldiers under Temujin's shouts.
This system is similar to the government army system long ago in the Central Plains. When farming is busy, farmers are farmers. When war comes, armed with a spear or a fork, they can directly sign up to join the army and become soldiers.
With thousands of men and horses, the fighting was over quickly.
Xin Qiji immediately ordered to set up camp.
Now it should be only about two days' journey from Mengyuan Harlem.
He first arranged for his lieutenants to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and to collect usable war horses. One more war horse would mean one more cavalry, which would increase the chance of victory by 10%.
The Meng Yuan cavalry will also bring some food with them to test for poison. If it is edible, they will keep it.
The further north you go, the further away you are from the Central Plains, and the supply of baggage is not so convenient.
Therefore, they need to find some food while fighting.
When encountering the Meng Yuan tribe, they would not directly burn, kill, and loot.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already given the order.
Xin Qiji also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planned to govern these places and educate them to form a true world unity.
He also recognized this national policy.
Because only education can eliminate their barbaric thoughts and make them know etiquette and reason.
Therefore, when he met the Meng Yuan tribe, he would also spend his money to buy some sheep and cook several large pots of mutton for the soldiers.
While the deputy general was cleaning the battlefield, he was writing a letter to Prince Xiao Yi, reporting the results of the battle and his location.
The grassland is so vast, and there are no marked locations, endless hills, or endless grasslands, so it is easy to get lost.
By then, we might not have walked to Harlem, but directly from Harlem to the Anbei Protectorate.
Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince had already taught him several ways to identify the direction, and he had Si Nan with him, so he could be sure that he was always walking in the north direction.
Of course, we can also judge from the situation of the Meng Yuan cavalry. There will definitely be more cavalry on the Harlem side, and they can also hit Harlem in the general direction.
After writing the letter, Xin Qiji handed the letter to the scouts who traveled with the army, that is, the messengers.
Their riding skills are very good, and their horses are of good quality. They are fast and fast.
"Here comes a letter from General Yue."
Zuo Yubei camp.
In the desolate wilderness, the camps were neatly arranged in rows and rows. Soldiers were patrolling from time to time, and there were scouts and spies for more than ten miles around.
Xiao Yi sat there calmly and read the letter sent by Yue Hongling.
She and Han Shizhong traveled north and south, heading east from Ordo.
Encountered many hurdles.
Today, it is only two days' journey from Harlem.
The army has also been stationed.
Standby.
Launched a general attack on Harlem.
Guo Ziyi stood aside and waited. After Xiao Yi read it, he briefly browsed it and said, "In this way, we will definitely be able to win Mengyuan Harlem this time."
Xiao Yi analyzed: "The Meng Yuan cavalry has great combat power and must be used intensively. Kublai Khan is likely to combine tens of thousands of elite cavalry as a weapon... When the battle is in full swing, tens of thousands of cavalry will be scattered together. Go out and deliver a fatal blow. Therefore, if our army wants to win, the only and inevitable move is to leave an elite force capable of suppressing tens of thousands of cavalry as a reserve, and wait for the enemy's cavalry group to come out, and then follow it. Decisive victory!"
Guo Ziyi nodded quickly and said, "That's true."
"We also need to mobilize and form a large number of elites. Then when the battle comes, we must let the Meng Yuan side send out cavalry first, and then use the imperial army to control others."
Xiao Yi continued: "Another point is that Kublai Khan is very likely to unite his troops and charge directly towards the Chinese army where I am."
"Back then, my father and General Yue had a final decisive battle with Temujin here, and both sides suffered relatively heavy losses."
"The great prince Tuo Lei of Meng Yuan died in this battle, and the two great generals of Da Gan died in this battle."
"Temujin finally surrendered and did not dare to continue fighting to the death."
"Now, we are once again approaching Harlem. With Kublai Khan's character, he must have this idea."
"So, we have to go north quickly and follow General Xin. When Kublai Khan comes with his troops, we can press forward immediately."
"Tell Han Shizhong and An Zijun that they can support us quickly on the route near the south."
"At that time, we can encircle Kublai Khan and trap him to death outside Harlem."
"General Yue, General Di, and the King of Liao are in the north. While attacking Harlem, they will block the Mongolian and Yuan reinforcements that may appear in the rear."
"This time, we must capture Harlem in one fell swoop, completely eliminate the barbarian troubles in the North, and create peace for all generations!"
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he asked Guo Ziyi if he had anything to add.
Guo Ziyi thought for a while and mentioned a few points.
This will be an unprecedented decisive battle, a decisive battle that can solve the hidden dangers of the barbarians in the North.
You should be extremely careful, and you should be extremely careful.
There is no perfect strategy, but at the very least, we must ensure that this decisive battle can be won by a large force, rather than an army of 500,000 people, and a tragic victory in the end.
Kublai Khan wanted to face the Chinese army directly and have a decisive battle, rather than face a three-pronged attack and have a trapped beast.
Naturally, we have to take advantage of the time when he comes to the central army to set up a trap, how to resist their cavalry, and how to surround and kill them.
There is also a lot to say in this.
Xiao Yi's general strategy was of course nothing to say.
A battlefield veteran like Guo Ziyi also felt that this was the best policy.
that's all.
After completing the strategic layout.
Xiao Yi continued northward with 50,000 troops.
at the same time.
Kublai Khan has also decided to work together to fight against Prince Xiao Yi of Daqian.
Both sides actually started sending out troops at the same time, marching towards Xin Qiji at the midpoint.
Ulan Batu.
Temujin tribe.
Today's ancestral home of Meng Yuan is Temujin's base camp.
After the battle at Shuozhou, the old Temujin fainted due to the intense fire. After waking up, his whole person seemed to become more sluggish, and sometimes he would forget some things.
However, he often asked where Brother Meng was, and also asked whether Meng Yuan was going south or seeking revenge.
this day.
When he learned that his grandson Kublai Khan was in Harlem, leading more than 100,000 Mongolian and Yuan cavalry to fight to the death with Da Gan.
He seemed to suddenly wake up.
The whole person changed from the old and dull state and became energetic.
"Haidu, you are Battle of the grassland, and you are the eagle in the sky. Now, a large number of thieves are coming with force, intending to destroy me, Meng Yuan."
"How can you still sit here and ignore it?"
Faced with being suddenly summoned, he didn't want to see him, but Temujin led his men directly to the door. He said these words to his face, and Haidu deliberately wanted to refute something.
However, when he saw Temujin's ferocious eyes, he was still a little scared.
"Sweat profusely."
"I've never been afraid of a thief!"
"Now, Kublai Khan takes the initiative to request to guard Harlem and establish the first line of defense for Ulan Batu. Our capital city is the last line of defense for Ulaanbaatu!"
However, Temujin directly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, stretched out his hand to hold it, cut out blood, and said solemnly: "The last line of defense in Ulaanbaatu can only be me, Temujin!"
Haidu was stunned for a moment and did not dare to continue speaking.
Temujin said loudly: "As the leader of the Meng Yuan Kingdom, I now order you to lead troops to Harlem immediately to resist the thieves."
"People are here, and Harlem is here. If Harlem is destroyed, you won't have to come back!"
Haidu just looked at Temujin.
But even though Temujin is old, his reputation is still very high. He is the king of Meng Yuan, the largest chief who directly unified the northern grasslands, and the old wolf king of this grassland.
He, the eagle in the sky, must also obey the orders of the old wolf king.
finally.
Haidu could only reach out and make a fist, put it on his chest, bowed and said: "I obey!"
The next day.
Haidu left Ulan Batu with 60,000 soldiers and horses.
Temujin stood there, watching the black screen disappear into the sky.
"puff!"
He threw up a large mouthful of blood and then fell backward.
"Sweat!"
