Chapter 471

The defeat of the Qiexue army brought a huge impact to the Yuan army. The personal guards of the Five Army couldn't help but be frightened. Zhang Shijie also seized this opportunity and immediately commanded the Ming cavalry and Song cavalry on the left to launch an attack on them. Zheng He also led the infantry to force them from the back. At this time, the Song army completely eliminated their fear of the Yuan army and rushed towards those enemies who had begun to panic with firm steps.

Three rounds of charges were killed by the Qiexue army to pieces and lost An Tong's command. Each of the thousands of teams began to fight alone and were defeated by each of them in front of the unified command of the Sui Xiaoguo. Even if there were still the commander of the thousand men trying to take over An Tong's command, they were killed by Li You and Fan Wenchao as soon as possible. The war lasted for an hour, and only more than a thousand men were left in the five thousand Qiexue army. At this time, they had lost the courage to continue fighting and began to turn their heads and flee towards Dadu.

Of course, there were also some clever people who secretly calculated the remaining troops in the capital. They fled halfway and began to deviate from the road and embarked on the road to the south or further north. They even had a ulterior motive for the Qixue army, and then turned to the west, intending to tell the news to Alibuge's children and grandchildren. In his opinion, perhaps this time Kublai Khan might die under the hands of these southern barbarian troops.

Since the Qiexue army has begun to escape, the remaining five armies will certainly not persist. The Mongolian army has collapsed as a whole, but unfortunately, this time there are also a large number of cavalry in the Song Dynasty coalition. As the pursuit along the way, the Mongolian and Yuan army suffered heavy casualties. Ten thousand elite soldiers and the two Tong went out of the city to meet the enemy, but in the end there are less than two thousand people who survived.

Moreover, most of the members of the Cyrgyz army were children of the Mongol Yuan nobles. This battle was a big deal. If their father and brother received the news, they would probably feel dissatisfied with Kublai Khan? Unfortunately, Kublai Khan probably couldn't see this day, but this was a big obstacle for his descendants to inherit the Khan throne. Although the prince Zhenjin, his legitimate grandson Ganmala, Tiemur and others were still in the capital, his fifth son Hugechi was named King of Yunnan and the third son of Anxi, who was named King of Anxi, had died of illness this year, but his son Ananda had inherited the throne. If Zhenjin and others were all dead, they were also qualified to be the Khan. Without the support of the Cyrgyz army, they might not be so easy for them to successfully inherit the Khan throne.

"Zhang Shumi led his men to clean the battlefield and gathered the wounded. All the cavalry and I went straight to Dadu with me." After the war, Li You changed into the prime minister's outfit. He didn't bother to rest and immediately took Xiaoguo of the Sui Dynasty and the cavalry of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to continue to kill Dadu. He didn't want Kublai to escape after hearing the news. This long-distance raid must block Kublai and his descendants in the Dadu city.

So he temporarily divided the Song coalition forces into two groups, and took the cavalry first, and Zhang Shijie led the infantry and waited to come slowly after cleaning up the battlefield. Of course, the cavalry could not attack the city, but they could block Kublai Khan in the capital, making him unable to escape. As for the siege, the infantry would come slowly to do it.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!" In the Daning Palace outside the capital, Kublai Khan still smiled and generals such as Ahma, Yuechi Chaer, Hududaer, Yuxi Timuer, and other favorite minister Marco Polo guessed how long Antong would be able to send back the news of victory. Unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was bad news. A Qixue rushed into the palace and reported the news of Antong's miserable defeat.

"What? An Tong was defeated?" Yue Chi Chaer, who was the four great-grandson in Qixue, looked at this Qixue incredibly, who was the great-grandson of Boerhu, one of the "Four Heroes".

Hududaer, Yuxi Timuer and Shitemur turned around at the same time. They were like An Tong, who was the chief grandson of Borshu, one of the "Four Heroes", and Hududaer was the descendant of Chi Laowen, and An Tong, who died, was the fourth generation grandson of Mu Huali, which was also the old system of Qixue. The four Qinxue Changs were all direct descendants of the "Four Heroes".

"The cavalry of the Song Dynasty is not as strong as the strongest. Lord An Tong personally led 5,000 Qiexue to fight against the 5,000 Qiexue, the general who led the Song Dynasty was really brave. Lord An Tong was stabbed off the horse in one round and died under the trampling of the Ranma. After that, the army was in chaos and was defeated by the Song army." The Qiexue wailed and told the story of the battle, and finally kowtowed, "This time, 12,000 elite soldiers went to fight, and there were probably not even a thousand people who could come back. Now the vanguard of the Song army is coming to Dadu." On the way back, the defeated soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan were killed by Li You and fled to other places.

"Your Majesty, the battlefield is not far away. I'm afraid there's not much time now, so it's better to make plans early." When the ministers heard that the Song army was approaching Dadu, the ministers were not only a little panicked, but Ahma hurried out and said, "Only the eagle can fly over the mountains with its wings. Your Majesty should lead the troops north quickly!"

"From the situation just now, most of the troops of the Southern Barbarians are probably less than ten miles away. If they lead troops north, it would be a little too late." Yue Chi Chaer knew that Kublai Khan's concubines and descendants were still scattered everywhere, and his family was the same. If they ran away now, these people would probably fall into the hands of the Song army. The Mongols now have no decisive determination to leave their children and escape on their own. "So it is better to enter the capital first for a while, and send envoys to ask for help from the nearby army. As long as they persist for ten days and half a month, the reinforcements nearby should also arrive. At that time, gathering forces will definitely make these Southern Barbarians come and never return."

For a time, two factions formed in the court. One was led by Ahma to support the escape, and the other faction led by Yue Chi Chaer and others, firmly demanding to enter the city to defend locally. Kublai Khan thought for a while, but finally chose to enter the city. First, he is now the emperor and no longer the leader of the tribe on the grassland. What would it be like if he heard the enemy coming? Second, Yue Chi Chaer said it makes sense. As long as he defends the capital, he can win the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. This is more meaningful than escaping.

Then the ministers rushed to scatter everywhere to gather their troops. Finally, they rushed into the unconstructed capital with their families and troops before Li You's army arrived.
