Kublai Khan has put on a suit of golden armor.
Meng Yuan's armor wearing rate is not high, but as Meng Yuan's coach, as Meng Yuan's eldest prince, and future king of the country, Kublai Khan can tailor-made armor for himself.
And a large part of the Meng Yuan soldiers who followed him out of the city were also wearing battle armor.
Some were built in the past, some were seized from gold mining later, and some were purchased from Beiyan and Daqian.
More than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
All left the Harlem capital.
At this time, there were not many Mongolian herdsmen left in the capital of Harlem. Those who wanted to leave had already left, and those who did not want to leave would have no choice but to retreat immediately with their families and their families until they were besieged by the Imperial Guards in three directions.
Not many people are left.
When there were still more than ten kilometers away from the Daqian Forbidden Army, Kublai Khan ordered to slow down and eat and repair while marching.
When they were only a few miles away from the Dagan Forbidden Army, they launched a charge.
Charge forward in a "pin"-shaped battle formation.
Xin Qiji had already sent out scouting horses. When he learned that a large number of Mongolian and Yuan cavalry had been discovered, which were probably the main force of the Mongolian Yuan, he immediately ordered a strong formation to prepare.
"shoot!"
Seeing the cavalry rushing into the shooting range, Xin Qiji immediately gave the order.
"call out!"
Arrows flew out all over the sky.
At the back of the large camp of the Forbidden Army, suddenly, a black screen appeared on the horizon, with flags flying.
The guard was startled, thinking it was an enemy attack. Later, when I saw the flag banner of Prince Daqian, I was very excited.
"Your Highness is here!"
"Hush!"
The cavalry reined in their reins and stopped a hundred meters away from the rear camp.
Xiao Yi turned over and dismounted, but two groups of cavalrymen behind him bypassed the camp and made a surprise attack on the battlefield ahead.
"Put up the flag of Prince Daqian in front of the camp so that Meng Yuan can see it."
The deputy general immediately bowed and clasped his fists: "Here!"
The banners of Prince Daqian, the banners of the Dragon Guard Army, and the banners of the Prince's East Palace Guards were all erected in front of the temporary camp.
Xin Qiji acted steadily this time, so while slowly exploring the path, he was always on guard against Meng Yuan's side.
When they learned that the main force of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was approaching, they immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for war. The baggage was placed in the rear, and the belongings they carried were placed directly on the ground. Wooden piles were immediately fixed and tents were set up in front and on the left and right to serve as temporary camps.
Xin Qiji led few soldiers and horses, but at this time, when he encountered Kublai Khan's main army, he could only attack them head on.
Because once they retreat, their speed cannot keep up with the speed of the Meng Yuan cavalry. Once the opponent catches up and then slowly bites them, their losses will be even greater.
He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was following not far behind and would definitely provide timely support.
Therefore, they made a decisive decision and simply set up camp, but at the same time prepared the entire army for war, and finally blocked the charge of the Meng Yuan cavalry.
The cold wind howled past, biting the bones, cutting the skin on his face like a knife.
With a "Hugh" sound, red clouds bloomed in the sky.
"Bang!"
Make a relatively loud noise.
Kublai Khan has always been sensitive to this sound. It can be said that once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
He immediately widened his eyes and looked at the battlefield.
When I saw the red fireworks in the sky behind the Imperial Guards, I realized that it was not a huge fire.
However, he immediately saw many, many officers and soldiers of the Dagan Forbidden Army rushing out from the Dagan Forbidden Army camp.
He frowned immediately, and when he saw the flags raised high in the camp, he knew that Prince Daqian was here.
Xin Qiji heard the sound, turned his head and saw the red fireworks, and immediately shouted: "Rush over!"
"Kill!"
Your Royal Highness is here.
Their military strength will also be stronger.
The opponent should be led by Kublai Khan and wants to fight here.
So, on the battlefield this time, he, Xin Qiji, was the vanguard general and the main general of Daqian.
He wants to fight a bloody path for His Royal Highness and create a fighting chance!
"Puff puff..."
For a moment, there was the sound of iron being penetrated into flesh. Xin Qiji chopped down several people one after another. He also received a few blows, but his armor was thick and the wounds were not very deep.
An enemy was cut down every few steps. The army formation that was originally disrupted by Kublai Khan's vanguard Boyan was slowly reorganized by Xin Qiji and his men.
The Meng Yuan cavalry always charged in a "pin" shape, and then immediately outflanked the enemy's left and right wings, disrupted the enemy's military formation, and finally surrounded and killed them directly.
Xin Qiji didn't have many troops, so he was already surrounded by the Meng Yuan cavalry from the beginning.
Fortunately, Xiao Yi arrived in time, sent troops and horses, and stopped Meng Yuan from outflanking the left and right wings.
Xin Qiji finally reorganized his military formation, with the shield bearers and crossbowmen in the center, the cavalry on both sides, and the long axemen specifically targeting the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry as supplements, and slowly advanced.
Kublai Khan had been staring at the reinforcements of the imperial army on the other side of the camp. After a rough estimate, he felt that there were as many as 40,000.
The key is that the prince Xiao Yi has not been seen fighting in person until now.
In this case, he couldn't lead the Chinese army to attack at this time. He had to wait until the prince Xiao Yi appeared.
There is a saying in the Central Plains: to capture the thief first capture the king.
In this battle, if he can kill Prince Dagan, he will definitely become the real wolf king on the grassland.
There will definitely be chaos over there in Daqian, and they will withdraw their troops quickly.
This is the decisive battle.
What is decided is not only the strength of the two sides, but also the king of both sides.
"Go around and kill them!"
Ten thousand households in Meng Yuan Dynasty drank loudly and drove the soldiers away.
They are warriors on the grassland, how can they be timid about fighting?
Dozens or hundreds of people fell quickly, but it was nothing on a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people.
After a while, on the Meng Yuan cavalry's side, Jiu Zhi Bai Yan moved forward more than ten meters.
The speed of the Meng Yuan cavalry also increased, and they immediately became red-eyed. They did not care and could only kill.
And then.
He ordered the Chinese army to sing a war song.
The war drums beat, the Mongolian war songs sounded again, and the cold wind howled and dust flew on the earth.
The soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty sang with their mouths wide open. Their negative emotions were vented with the singing, and they seemed to draw courage and strength from the singing.
"kill!"
When the war song reached its peak, the flag was pointed forward, and the cavalry began to charge forward quickly.
The spears were thrust out of the shields, and the two armies fought hand-to-hand.
The Meng Yuan cavalry were very skilled in riding and archery. Their usual fighting style was to charge, shoot, distance, shoot, then charge, fight, and distance.
This style of play fully demonstrates the advantages of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry.
Boyan fought all the way forward, hacking and killing the enemy, and was stabbed from time to time, but he didn't feel any pain.
Today, he will be the arrow cluster that Kublai Khan shot at Prince Daqian, charging at the forefront.
Behind him were three thousand death squads, behind them were ten thousand households, and behind them were Kublai Khan's Chinese army.
Almost from the beginning, the two sides fought mainly with elites. That is to say, they started fighting on a large scale and continued to fight to the death.
On Kublai Khan's side, there was only one personal guard army left, which was 10,000 horses, about 5,000 leather-armored cavalry, and another 5,000 people who, although not wearing armor, were still elite and were herdsmen from Kublai Khan's tribe. , and is the cavalryman with the highest riding and archery skills among the herdsmen.
as time flows.
Suddenly, a Daqian cavalry member shouted in Mongolian: "You have fallen into the trap. We deliberately put you into the formation to surround you. Our Crown Prince has said that if you are willing to surrender, you will be spared!"
"Fell into a trap?" The Meng Yuan vanguard cavalry couldn't help but panic.
"You underestimate me!"
Boyan shouted: "I am Boyan, the king's subordinate, the first warrior of Meng Yuan. Let me enter the formation and surround me? Okay, this will be the biggest mistake you have made."
After he finished speaking, he asked the flag bearer beside him to hold the flag high.
"Warriors! We are less than a few hundred steps away from the main camp of Daqian. It's time for us to bring a great victory. Kill!"
"Kill them and burn their camp."
"We can hold Harlem!"
He shouted and lunged forward.
"kill!"
Boyan naturally knew what he wanted to do and what he was doing.
The other party was on tight defense and formed a small siege formation. It would be impossible for them to raid the main camp of Dagan.
But at this point in the war, even if it is impossible, we must give it a try and fight to the death.
It would only be more difficult for Mu Huali to charge personally.
Twenty steps, twenty-one steps….
Boyan's general's flag was still moving forward, getting closer and closer to Daqian's main camp.
This scene fell in Kublai Khan's eyes, and even he was a little shocked.
I really didn't expect that Boyan was so determined at this time and could actually rush so close to the main camp of Daqian.
Many people in the Yuan army cheered and their morale was high.
But soon, they discovered that things were not what they imagined. Boyan's charge was actually a way to seek death.
In fact, it is not considered seeking death, because after the war begins, such a person is indeed needed to boost morale.
In any case, Meng Yuan's side is determined to defend Harlem.
The whole army also knows the importance of this battle, and it is because they know the importance that they feel relieved.
This tone is neither up nor down.
Once it's broken, it's really broken.
If it can be brought up, maybe it can really become a trend.
Therefore, Boyan charged to the death, with more than 10,000 men under his command, rushing directly to the front until he fell into the pit dug by Xin Qiji, forming a small encirclement.
Then Boyan met Xin Qiji.
Soldier against soldier.
Against the general.
Boyan also knew who he was facing.
Behind him, flags were flying.
Behind the opponent, there is also a banner hunting.
There was no need to shout for kill to show any courage. The two men urged their horses to charge almost at the same time.
There was not much space left for them in the army, only about two meters, almost in an instant, and only one or two moves.
The two sides started a desperate struggle in this narrow place.
