    If you want to use cavalry to attack a city, there are two main factors. First, the enemy does not know how to attack on his own, and second, there is someone inside who should open the city gate.  But now, these two conditions are actually not met.  Kuo Kuo stayed in Xanadu, knowing very well that the Ming army would attack at any time.  And even if there are internal responses, when the opponent's defense is tight, dozens of internal responses will not be able to help open the city gate.  However, Chen Feng is still very confident that he can use cavalry to attack the city, because Chen Feng can be sure that the expansion will never sit still and wait for death.  Yes, just sit back and wait for death. Chen Feng has elite firearms that can blast through the city walls. Therefore, the kind of siege battles in this era that rely on human sea tactics to win will not be staged here. Chen Feng does not want to  No matter which city he attacked, the wall would be blown open easily, and then the cavalry would follow the gap and attack the city.  Therefore, as long as Kuaoku knows that Chen Feng is dispatched, he will never stay in Shangdu City. He will either lead his troops to escape back to the grassland, or he will lead his troops to sneak attack on him. In short, Shangdu City will become  A ghost town.  Chen Feng has a clever plan. Of course, he cannot tell Mu Ying about this strategy for the time being.  The excuse just made is a very good one. We need to protect the safety of King Yan. Fighting is secondary in this battle. Letting King Yan experience marching and fighting is the main thing.  Therefore, all 20,000 infantrymen were required to protect the safety of King Yan. Even Mu Ying had to stay to protect the safety of King Yan. This was a reason that Mu Ying simply could not refuse.  "Yes, what the prince said is absolutely true. In that case, Mu Ying will obey the prince's order and use the cavalry as a forward and hand it over to General Lan Yu to take command." Mu Ying said.  "In two days, we have to set off. In these two days, we have to wait for the transportation of food and grass from around. Mu Ying, I will leave all these to you." Chen Feng continued.  There is not much food in Dadu now. The canal is closed, and no food from the south of the Yangtze River will be transported for the time being. Therefore, for this battle, food and grass were mobilized from all around.  "Yes, Mu Ying obeys the order." Mu Ying said and withdrew.  Two days will pass quickly, and at the same time, a lot of information will be leaked out in two days.  A new army had arrived in Dadu. Naturally, this news could not be concealed from the Tatar spies in Dadu. Under the supervision of Dadu, and with the acquiescence of Chen Feng, several Tatar spies were able to rush to Dadu safely and quickly.  Go to the capital city.  Go to the capital city.  There was no fire in the palace, and it looked a bit cold. This palace was originally the palace where the emperor stayed in Xanadu when he went to escape the heat in the summer. Now, it has become a temporary residence.  The capture of Shangdu City did not make Kuokuo feel at ease. On the contrary, Kuokuo was shrouded in a huge shadow every day.  There are not many soldiers and horses to expand the army. Tens of thousands of people seem to be very powerful. However, in front of the main force of the Ming army, my own number of people is not enough.  If we can capture Dadu and then call on the people around us, maybe we can continue to expand our territory for a while. But now, we only have one city in Shangdu, and we suffered a defeat when we attacked Dadu. At this time, we can expand our territory.  He even had the idea of ??giving up Xanadu.  He sent people back to Helin several times to inform them of his situation, hoping that Tuotuo would give him an explanation as to whether he should continue to fight or retreat, but he never received a reply.  Expansion is uncertain.  At this moment, a notice came from the guards outside, Dadu¡¯s spies were here!  Kuo Kuo looked at the tired spy who was running all the way and asked, "What's going on in Dadu?" "General, recently, an army of tens of thousands of people, including infantry and cavalry, suddenly came in from Dadu."  said the spy.  Are there new troops in Dadu?  Kao Kuo's heart suddenly sank: "What are they here for?" "The villain doesn't know." The spy said. It would be good if the spy could detect that a new army was coming in. If he asked them again what they were here for, it would definitely be  Will be arrested immediately.  "Where did they come from?" "They should be the Ming army's garrison on Baoding Road. The leading general is that Mu Ying." The spy continued.  When he first entered the city, the spies saw him once.  "Okay, you go back immediately and report to me when they will be dispatched." Kuo Kuo said.  Although the spies are very hard-working, the current information is more important. What are these people doing here?  It is absolutely necessary to use troops against the opponent, so at this time, you must know when the opponent will dispatch, and when the time comes, you will have time to choose.  "Yes." The spy worked tirelessly and left the palace and Xanadu without even drinking.  ? ?Kuo Kuo's eyes looked around blankly, and he kept thinking in his heart, the Ming army was really coming, what should he do?  No matter what, it is most important to find out the movements of the Ming army in advance. In addition to spies, you must also spread out scouts.  Thinking of this, Kuangkuo shouted: "He Zongzhe, send more manpower immediately and double the scope of the scout patrol." "Yes." Deputy General He Zongzhe immediately replied.  Outside the capital, war horses neighed, and the morale of the soldiers was high.  A carriage, under heavy guard, slowly drove out from the capital city. The guards around it were all the most elite Shenji battalion.  Beside the carriage, there were two very young generals, holding weapons in their hands and wearing armors, and they were in high spirits.  Mu Ying was fully armored. When she saw this carriage, her eyes immediately lit up. His Highness, King Yan, had finally arrived.  "Di'er, there are still 20,000 troops waiting for us outside the city." Chen Feng said: "This time we went hunting, we used a lot of troops." "Master, it's now, and you are still lying to Di'er.  ." Zhu Di said suddenly.     I lie to you?  Hearing this, Chen Feng was stunned: "Di'er, tell me, why did master lie to you?" "Master, this time, we are not going to hunt at all, but to hunt Xanadu." Zhu Di said.  Fight against Xanadu?  Chen Feng's face darkened: "Di'er, how did you know?" Could it be that someone tipped off the news and told Zhu Di without telling him?  If so, this person needs to be found. This is a disaster.  Zhu Di did not look at Chen Feng's face. It seemed that after a few months of getting along with him, Zhu Di already knew that this master was usually very strict, but in his heart, he was always looking towards him.  "Master, we have gone out several times, each time with only a few hundred guards. This time, we have brought so many people, it is obvious that we are going to fight. What other battles can we fight here? It must be to fight in Shangdu  Yes." Zhu Di said.  It turns out that Zhu Di guessed all this by himself. Zhu Di has always been very smart and nothing can be hidden from him.  Now that Zhu Di knew about it, Chen Feng didn't hide much: "Yes, we are going to fight this time. Di'er, you are in the carriage, don't come out easily, especially now, there are many Tatar tricks around, if you find out  If you are in our army, the Tatars might jump over the wall. "Who knows, after saying this, Zhu Di began to retort: ??"Master, it is precisely because of this that we have to make a big show of it. We want the Tatars to know.  , Di'er is in this army." "Di'er, are you crazy?" Chen Feng suddenly said in a stern tone: "This time, in order to take you to experience the war, do you know how much preparation the master has made?  Your safety is the first priority!" "Master, can you protect Di'er's safety?" Zhu Di asked.  "Of course." "What if we are surrounded by the main Tatar cavalry?" "Although the master cannot defeat so many people, there is still no problem in escaping from the encirclement of the Tatar cavalry with you.  ." Chen Feng said.  In recent years, Chen Feng's magical power has become more and more superb, and it is no problem to take Zhu Di on the run.  "In this case, there is no problem with Di'er's safety." Zhu Di said: "Master, if the Tatars in Xanadu know that Di'er is in this army, then the only way for the Tatars to win is  , came to attack this army. The Tatars are cavalry, and what they are best at is field battles. Therefore, using Di'er as bait, we can destroy the Tatars outside the city. In this way, we can easily capture the capital city.  Come down." Zhu Di's thinking was clear and he laid out the entire strategic plan. These words surprised Chen Feng even more.  Among Chen Feng¡¯s sons, the one who is best at fighting is probably Zhu Di in front of him.  Historically, Zhu Di was a general who was good at conquering and fighting. As the king of Yan, he mainly garrisoned the capital. The Mongols did not dare to invade at all. The border areas had always been stable until after the Jingnan period, when Zhu Di arrived in Yingtian. As a result, the Mongols  People often came to make trouble. In anger, Zhu Di moved the capital to Dadu and renamed Dadu to Beijing. Yingtian should be Nanjing, which established the pattern of the next few hundred years.  Now Zhu Di is still a minor, and he already has the demeanor of a general in his words and deeds. Moreover, he is not afraid of danger and uses himself as bait.  "He is bold and eclectic in his use of troops. From now on, these compliments will probably fall on Zhu Di."  Chen Feng was very pleased.  "Master, we can use the cavalry in the army as the vanguard to attack Xanadu, and the infantry behind can walk more slowly. This way??, in order to win, the Tatars may ignore the forwards and come to attack our infantry. At that time, our forwards will quickly return reinforcements, attack from inside and outside, and completely eliminate the main Tatar force.  "Zhu Di said. Zhu Di's thoughts almost coincided with Chen Feng's. Chen Feng patted Zhu Di on the head: "Okay, let's follow your strategy. When the time comes, this battle will be won.  Please give me credit.  "No, master, if master agrees, the main credit for this victory should be given to Mu Ying."  "Zhu Di said again.
