When Kublai Khan broke through, he saw Zhao Tai and Li Fen's cavalry chasing the Mongolian cavalry.
After the Mongolian cavalry, tens of thousands of infantry followed closely.
Under such circumstances, the Mongolian cavalry would be unable to get rid of the enemy troops, and it would be difficult to retreat into Jinan. The enemy troops would even take advantage of the chaos to rob the city of Jinan.
The cavalry of the Tiger Cavalry Battalion kept firing arrows while running to contain the Mongolian army. Li Fen's thousands of cavalry did not entangle with the Mongolian cavalry and ran directly forward, intending to rush to the front of the Mongolian army and get there first. Jinan.
Seeing this, Kublai Khan knew that it would be difficult to retreat into Jinan, and even if he retreated, he would be easily surrounded by Zhao Tai and Li Fen, and then defeated with superior force.
Therefore, while running, he threw away his conspicuous cloak and armor, and gave urgent orders to let the army flee west.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry was being pursued, and their formation was in chaos. Kublai Khan's orders could not be conveyed, and there were only more than a thousand guardsmen surrounding him heading west.
"Commander, there is a Mongolian cavalry fleeing to the west!" Wang Bin looked at the battlefield and reminded loudly.
Zhao Tai squinted at the nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry, turned around, fled towards the west, and decided in a deep voice, "My goal is Jinan, I don't need to pay attention to them, let me rush to Jinan."
The Mongolian army ran in the wilderness and was pursued by Zhongyi Town and Li Jun. The soldiers chased and killed while shouting to capture Kublai Khan.
When Kublai Khan massacred Suzhou last year, Zhao Tai led his troops outside. Many Suzhou soldiers and their families were massacred by the Mongolian army in Zhongyi Town.
Therefore, many soldiers in Zhongyi Town particularly hated Kublai Khan.
Now that Kublai Khan wanted to escape, the soldiers were naturally willing to let him escape. They recognized Kublai Khan's banner and pursued him desperately.
However, Kublai Khan also discovered this, and immediately threw away his flag, got rid of his conspicuous armor, and fled almost as if he had cut off his beard and abandoned his robe.
At this time, Kublai Khan fled westward. Tasi and others did not receive the news and continued to rush to Jinan.
The battlefield is less than forty miles away from Jinan, and the cavalry can arrive in the blink of an eye.
At the top of Jinan City, the defenders who stayed behind in Jinan patrolled back and forth on the city, unaware of the changes in the southern suburbs.
Suddenly, the defenders at the top of the city saw a crowd of people appearing in the distance in the south. Large groups of cavalry chased each other and rushed towards Jinan.
Seeing this, the defenders at the top of the city quickly sounded the alarm. A few defenders boarded the top of the city, and the generals hurried to the tower to overlook the rolling cavalry.
"What's going on?" The defenders on the city only took one look, and then their jaws dropped in shock.
The cavalry was fast, reaching a distance visible to the naked eye in the blink of an eye. The defenders who stayed in Jinan were surprised to find that the main force of the Mongolian army, which had just left the city, retreated hastily and was chased back by two cavalrymen.
After a while, countless figures were seen rushing to the front of the gate, and those who arrived first began to shout loudly, "Open the door!"
Tasi rode a war horse and ran wildly, his armor tilted as he ran, and finally arrived at the city gate, "Open the city gate quickly!"
A large group of Mongolian cavalry rushed over and roared loudly as they approached the city gate. The defenders on the city were shocked when they heard the cry, but the general guarding the gate did not dare to open the door rashly.
The Mongolian cavalry galloped to the city gate and gathered the Mongolian cavalry who were crowding under the city. They couldn't help but yell at the city gate, "Fuck you, you didn't see the enemy chasing, why don't you open the city gate quickly!"
The defenders on the city couldn't believe it. This was the Mongolian army that had just left the city.
Didn't it mean that Li Fen led 40,000 horses and fought with Zhao Tai's 30,000 horses in the southern suburbs? Prince Kublai Khan led 15,000 Mongolian cavalry to be the straw that broke the camel's back and completely defeated Zhao Tai. ?
At this time, more and more cavalry were blocking the city gate, and the defenders on the city were shocked and confused. How could the Mongolian army be defeated in just half a day?
"Jerith, open the door quickly!" Seeing that the defenders on the city did not move, Tasi rode his horse to the city gate and shouted loudly.
"Qianhu, it's the marshal of the capital!" the Mongolian army at the top of the city said in surprise.
The guard heard the sound, leaned out to check, and found that it was indeed Tasi. He did not hesitate at that moment, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to open the door.
The Mongolian army at the head of the city hurriedly walked underground, pulled up the iron gate, removed the horizontal bars of the city gate, and were about to push the heavy city gate when there was a sudden noise outside the city.
"The pursuers are coming!" The Mongolian army behind them exclaimed, and the Mongolian army in front of the city gate immediately became commotion.
Tasi turned around in fear, only to see a group of cavalry charging towards them with rolling hooves.
At this time, as soon as the city gate opened a gap, Li Jun's cavalry came in pursuit. The Mongolian troops gathered outside the city were in an uproar, and the team suddenly became commotion.
"Kill!" General Peng Huizu of the Li Army waved his sword and led his subordinates directly into the crowd of Mongolian troops.
After the Mongolian army arrived at the city, they reined up their horses and stood there, waiting for the door to open to enter the city. When the Mongolian army behind them saw Li Jun's cavalry approaching, they naturally would not stand and let Li Jun's cavalry attack, so they scattered their horses like frightened chickens.
Tasi gritted his teeth. When he saw the pursuers approaching, he knew that he could not enter the city.
At this time, the city gate has not yet been opened, but the enemy cavalry is chasing them. Tasi can only pull the reins of the horse and order: ""Go around the city! Go to the north gate to enter the city! "
In an instant, the Mongolian troops under the city dispersed. The Mongolian troops who had just pushed open a gap in the city saw the galloping Li Jun cavalry, so they quickly pushed the city gate and closed it.
Li Jun's cavalry rushed to the city wall, and the archers at the top of the city fired a wave of arrows. Peng Huizu used his knife to deflect the arrows. Seeing that the Mongolian army had closed the city gate and the cavalry could not rush in directly, he immediately tightened the reins of his horses and shouted: " Keep chasing!"
The Mongolian cavalry fled to the city of Jinan. As soon as they were about to enter the city, the pursuers rushed to the city. Tasi and others could only walk around the city, looking for opportunities to enter the city through other gates.
At this time, the cavalry of the two armies galloped around the city and headed north. Not long after, countless infantry troops appeared in the southern suburbs of Jinan.
Zhao Tai and Li Fen joined forces and nearly 60,000 troops rushed towards them with great noise and murderous intent.
More than 60,000 infantry troops stopped five hundred steps away from the city. Li Fen looked at Jinan City and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He had thought of many ways to get Jinan and become the overlord of Shandong, but none of them was like this.
There were originally 20,000 Mongolian troops in Jinan City, which should be enough to defend the city, but Kublai Khan brought out 15,000 troops, and most of these troops would not be able to return to Jinan.
This means that there are only more than 5,000 defenders in the city, but Zhao Tai and Li Fen together have 70,000 troops.
With the current situation in Jinan, it is probably impossible to stop Zhao Tai's attack.
Li Fen looked tired, and he was not happy at all about the fact that he was about to capture Jinan. "Commander Zhao, what are you going to do?"
Unlike Li Fen, who was in low spirits, Zhao Tai was radiant. He waved his riding whip and said energetically: "The cavalry led by Kublai Khan fled in all directions, and only a handful of them returned to Jinan. There are not many soldiers and horses in the city now, and the defenders are I must be feeling uneasy in my heart, so I will take advantage of this opportunity to attack Jinan with all my strength."
