Hundreds of cannons were fired on Longgang Mountain, and the entire Yuan was turned into a sea of fire, Batai was so shocked that he was terrified, even a fool knew the plan at this moment, he shouted, turned the horse's head and fled outside the city, but the city gate was so big, everyone rushed to squeeze out, and they did not let each other go, plus some Tartars outside the city had not yet reacted, and continued to rush into the city gate, and the city gate hole was jammed when it was blocked, and when it could not enter, it was impossible to go out.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery fire above the head was continuous, and the fires on both sides of the street were burning more and more fiercely, the flames were rolling, the heat wave was pressing, and the frightened horses were scurrying wildly, and the order was even more chaotic, and the Tartars fell off their horses one after another, and countless dead and wounded under the trampling of each other. In order to escape for their lives, some Tartars had to scatter along the streets to find a way to flee for their lives, and the Tartars near the city gate simply abandoned their horses, crawled to the top of the city, and then jumped out of the city directly from the top of the city seven or eight meters high, like dumplings, and countless people were killed and injured.

"Whew!" Like a mad beast, Bartai smashed his head all the way with a mace, causing him to smash a bloody path and rush out of the city gate.

Seeing this, Batai's own soldiers also waved their butcher knives at their comrades, slashing all the way to the city gate, and the corpses were strewn all over the city gate, which became a hell on earth.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The cannon roared again on Longgang Mountain, and countless cannonballs fell near the city gate, apparently intentionally, and finally the entire section of the city wall was blown up, sealing the only way to retreat, leaving only nearly 10,000 Tatar cavalry desperately struggling in the blazing fire.

Batai rushed out of the city a hundred meters in one breath before he dared to stop, and the soldiers who escaped with him were less than a hundred.

Looking at the blazing city and the cannonballs whistling from Longgang Mountain, Batai suddenly opened his chest and roared bitterly, and the soldiers around him were all pale, and their eyes were full of fear and hatred.

At this moment, Yuanshangdu has become a purgatory, nearly 10,000 Tartars who entered the city were all trapped and killed here, nearly one-third of them were killed and injured by trampling on each other, one-third were burned to death by the flames, and the remaining one-third desperately tried to hide in a place where there was no fire.

Now the only one in the city who has no fire is Miyagi, so the Tartars do not want to rush to the gate of Miyagi, and they do not want to climb the walls of Miyagi.

Yuan Hong, the commander of the right sentry battalion, resisted for a while and then led the brothers to quickly evacuate from the back gate of Miyagi, so it didn't take long for thousands of Tartars to capture Miyagi.

However, before the thousands of Tartars who were so desperate could breathe a sigh of relief, more than a dozen fires broke out in the palace city, and in an instant, the entire palace city fell into a sea of fire.

The thousands of Tartars who attacked Miyagi were desperate, they let out a roar of grief and indignation, and broke into the back gate of Miyagi like a desperate person, and hundreds of lucky Tartars successfully broke through the sea of fire and rushed out of the back door, only to be shot into a hornet's nest by the Ming army lying in ambush outside, and the corpses blocked the city gate.

Bang bang bang......

The three rows of musketeers in the right sentry camp fired non-stop at the city gate until no one came out of it, and the commander Yuan Hong raised his hand to signal to stop.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, it was quiet in all directions, only the choking smoke was swirling, the buildings in the palace city were burning, the whirring fire rushed more than ten meters high, and the terrible screams could be faintly heard, and the air was filled with all kinds of burning smells.

The fire burned, and the hundreds of corpses blocking the city gate were roasted by the high temperature and simmered with oil, and finally burned and turned into charcoal, even the Ming army, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, couldn't help but have the urge to vomit.

The early morning sun shone down, and the commander Yuan Hong's face was also a little pale, and there seemed to be a turbid wave surging between his chest and abdomen.

The eastern sky grew brighter and brighter, and a red sun appeared half of its face, but its light was overshadowed by the raging fire of the city.

On Longgang Mountain, Xu Jin held his hands behind his back, calmly looking down at Yuan Shangdu, who had turned into a sea of fire, a jade-colored robe made a slight sound under the blowing of the morning breeze, and the generals behind him stood awe-inspiring one by one, in addition to awe, it was fanatical in their eyes.

"It's a pity that the Khan city of Tatar has not been saved, and Xiao Mentu is afraid that he will postpone returning to the Khan Court to inherit the throne." Xu Jin naturally said to himself.

The generals behind him glanced at each other, and couldn't help but gasp, and the awe in their eyes was even worse, they only thought that the big handsome burning on the yuan was a last resort, and they dared to have other intentions, tsk, the big handsome is worthy of being a big handsome, what we think about is how to win the battle, but the big handsome is looking at the overall situation, far-reaching, very difficult to reach!

Indeed, although the Ming army in the city was empty, with the help of the city wall, it was no problem to resist Batai for a day or two, and it was estimated that the reinforcements had arrived at that time, and there was no need to burn the Yuan Shangdu.

However, the burning of the Yuan capital had two great benefits, one was to find an excuse for continuing to detain Mentu, and the other was to destroy the civilization of the Tatars. If the Ming Dynasty wants to incorporate the Tatars into the territory, it is necessary to rebuild the Tatar civilization and assimilate the three views of the Tatars, so it is a good way to destroy the Yuan Shangdu and rebuild it and add the elements of the Ming Dynasty.

However, if the Yuan Shangdu was burned for no reason, it would only make the Tatars disgusted, and even arouse their common hatred, such as Isana, who might directly turn against the Ming Dynasty, so Xu Jin did not dare to do it blatantly, but this time Batai's surprise attack created a perfect opportunity for him to destroy the Yuan Shangdu.

Because of this, before being in the city, Xu Jin said: "Isn't this the will of heaven?" ”

"Look, the Tartars outside the city are regrouping." The captain of the pro-soldier Zhao Datou suddenly shouted.

At this time, the sky was already bright, Xu Jin raised his telescope and looked down the mountain, only to see that the surviving Tartars outside the city were really regrouping, and it seemed that the number of people was about one or two thousand, and he couldn't help frowning deeply.

It is said that there were originally 45,000 cavalry under the command of Batai, but seven or eight thousand people were killed and wounded during the attack on the camp of the Xuanfu army, and another five or six thousand people were lost during the siege, and more than 10,000 people were burned to death in the city.

Huang Qi, the commander of the left sentry battalion, couldn't help but say with pity: "It's a pity that our cavalry has been sent out, if there is cavalry in hand, it doesn't need to be more, three thousand feet are enough, and when the Tartars are chaotic just now, they will be able to quickly defeat them." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly, last night he ordered Jing Dachu to hold on for an hour, but this guy did hold on for an hour, but in the end the whole army broke up, and now he has not been seen, and I don't know which place to flee, if this guy is clever enough, he should gather a team of men and horses to attack the rear of the Tartars at this time, but unfortunately, this person is not the material to be in charge after all, but what!

"Pass the order, the whole army is arrayed, ready to fight!" As soon as Xu Jin gave an order, more than 18,000 Ming army infantry soldiers lined up with their backs against Longgang Mountain, preparing for a fierce battle.

At this time, the fire in the city was still burning, and the smoke was billowing into the sky. In the open space south of the city, Batai was gathering his army in full swing, and in about half an hour, the troops were regrouped.

Batai held the large mace in his hand, looked over the raging fire in the city, stared viciously at the Ming army marshal flag on Longgang Mountain, and roared with red eyes: "Kill all, take revenge!" ”

"Kill, take revenge!" The Tartars raised their swords and spears in unison and roared, and the cold light seemed to cast a layer of frost over the morning sun.

Kill!

As soon as Batai gave the order, 15,000 Tatar cavalry bypassed the Khan City and approached the foot of Longgang Mountain, with a murderous aura soaring into the sky.

At this time, more than 100 miles away in the northwest, a Ming cavalry was galloping north along the hoof tracks, led by two men and one woman, who were Xie Erjian, Qi Jingtong and Xue Bingxin.

It was clear that the three of them had come after Batai, and in the second half of the night last night, they came to the ranch where the Haozit tribe was, and when they inquired, they learned that Batai had fled north with the remnants of his army, so they followed the hoof trail to the north.

"Look at the big boss, I finally caught up." Zhao Hu, the third master, suddenly shouted excitedly.

Everyone followed the prestige, and under the morning light, they saw a group of people appearing in front of them. Xue Bingxin's willow eyebrows frowned and said, "Something is wrong!" ”

Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong glanced at each other, something was indeed wrong, the momentum of the team in front of them was too weak, and the number seemed to be too small.

Drive......

Everyone urged the horses to gallop, and soon caught up with the centaur in front, but when they looked at it, they all changed their complexions.

Because there were only two or three thousand men in front of him, although all of them were men, there were old and young, and they were still driving cattle, sheep, mules and donkeys, and they were not at all the tens of thousands of remnants led by Batai.

It turned out that this group of people and horses was the men of the Haozit tribe, they were threatened by Batai last night, and drove the horses and sheep all the way north, afraid of Batai's fierce name, they didn't dare to turn back at all, and they didn't dare to stop, and as a result, the traces they left misled Xie Erjian and others.

These men of the Haozit tribe were suddenly surrounded by the cavalry of the Ming army who caught up, and they were immediately frightened into a group, and someone said loudly in Chinese: "Master Ming Army, we are the herdsmen of the Haozit tribe, and our tribe has taken refuge in the county lord of Yisana and is not an enemy of the Ming army." ”

Qi Jingtong turned over and dismounted, pulled the Tatar herdsman who shouted out from the crowd, and asked angrily: "Ma, tell me quickly, where are you driving the cattle and sheep?" ”

"Master Ming Jun, we were forced to go north by Batai......"

This Herdsman from Haozite didn't hide it, and told him what had happened, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong's faces changed greatly when they heard this, and they said in unison: "It's not good, it's a trick!" ”

Drive......

Xue Bingxin had already turned the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly violently, and led a thousand cavalry formed by the cottage brothers to gallop in the direction of the Khan Ting. Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong also hurriedly turned on their horses and led more than 6,000 elites of the Shenji Battalion to gallop wildly.
