    Even so, when I saw the corpses on the battlefield, there were Tatar cavalry and their own infantry. Especially in the south, they bore the most violent attack from the Tatars. Many of those infantry were shot to death by bows and arrows.  There was a solemn feeling on the battlefield, and the smell of blood kept coming. Smelling this smell of blood, many recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time had already started to vomit involuntarily.  Even Mu Ying was not immune. Mu Ying's face turned frighteningly white.  However, Zhu Di was the norm. He walked to the battlefield to the south and sighed: "Master, fortunately you have seen the movement of the Tatar cavalry in advance. If we were a step late and did not turn all the tigers around in time, we would be at a disadvantage now."  I'm afraid it's us." "The victory or defeat just now was really on a thin line. If Lan Yu led the team up, the enlarged cavalry had already been fighting with his infantry, and even if he won in the end, it would be a tragic victory.  "Di'er, don't get too close to there, in case something changes." Chen Feng said.  ??Further forward, there is the corpse of the Tatar. If there are alive Tatars inside, Zhu Di may be injured if he shows off his power before death.  Guo'er and Baoyu protected Zhu Di and returned behind Chen Feng.  "General, what should we do now?" Mu Ying asked from behind.  "Lead the army immediately and continue marching north, preparing to regain Xanadu." Chen Feng said.  The battle is over. The enlarging cavalry is being chased by Lan Yu¡¯s cavalry and no longer poses a threat. The remaining task for our side is to recapture Xanadu!  "General, when we came out this time, we didn't bring too many siege equipment." Mu Ying said.  Although the expansion failed, Xanadu is still a fortified city. There are no ladders, rams and other siege equipment in hand, and even Prince Chen¡¯s firearms are not brought, and the hundreds of tigers running together were all consumed.  "We went there to recover Xanadu, without attacking the city." Chen Feng said.  Attack the city?  Kao Kuo has already left with the main force. As soon as Kao Kuo leaves, his internal agents who are ambushing Xanadu and the internal agents who are left behind in Xanadu should take action long ago.  "Yes." Although Mu Ying was still a little confused at this time, she did not ask any more questions. When she arrived outside Shangdu City, everything was naturally understood.  The expanding army was constantly galloping, and behind them, Lan Yu's cavalry was getting further and further away from them.  ¡°Yes, it¡¯s just getting further and further away.  Originally, the pursued were running away wildly, and the pursuers were so powerful that they should be able to catch up with the front, and then continue to kill their rear team.  "However, this expanded cavalry has experienced hundreds of battles. Whether it is attacking or escaping, its speed is quite fast.  Lan Yu's cavalry behind them were already a little tired after running around a lot. It was impossible for them to bump around on horseback all day, so this time, they had reached the extreme, causing them to pursue the enemy more and more.  Can't catch up.  Lan Yu wanted to whip his army with a riding crop, but unfortunately, no matter how Lan Yu urged, his army couldn't get up quickly.  Kaokuo breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, his army had reached its limit. Now it was better to rush back to the upper capital to rest.  Ten thousand Mongolian cavalry retreated northward in frustration, only resting for an hour in the middle.  The next afternoon, their own city appeared in their field of vision.  After entering Shangdu City, you can defend the city. This time, the Ming army did not carry a big killer weapon like a bowl-mouth blunderbuss, so it was very difficult for them to attack the city.  The exhausted cavalrymen seemed to be full of strength again when they saw their own city. They whipped their whips a few times and walked towards the upper capital.  From a distance, when I saw them coming back, the city gate was opened.  After entering the city, find a bed first and have a good sleep. This is the idea of ??many soldiers.  They didn¡¯t know that the army on top of the city was looking at them like a hunter looking at his prey.  "Brothers, the Tatars have been defeated and have returned in despair. After a while, the Tatars enter the city and they will definitely know how to eat. We can put medicine in the food and capture all the Tatars. By then, it will be a great achievement.  "Yes, Prince Chen is a master of military skills and will soon be able to regain the upper capital. If we help the Tatars, we will be executed. Now, the only way to survive is to fight back."  The soldiers on board were excited when they heard these words. They knew that the time to decide their fate had finally arrived.  Kuo Kuo arrived outside the city. Before he entered the city, he smelled a fragrance wafting from the top of the city.  At this time, it was just dusk and it was time to eat.  In his absence, the remaining troops were let go.The wife ate a lot. When she smelled the smell, it seemed that mutton was in it. Suddenly, her face became displeased.  And the cavalry behind them even shouted: "They are actually eating mutton. After entering the city, let's go to the top of the city and eat all the mutton!" The smell of mutton is very strong and cannot be concealed at all.  Expanding the outline also thought so, but after taking two more steps, I suddenly felt something was wrong.  The general he left behind was also his confidant. He would never condone his subordinates doing this. He had deducted enough food from the soldiers, so how could he let the soldiers eat this?  They saw him coming back, so they came here to prepare a meal to honor him?  Impossible, he returned in defeat and didn't notify him in advance, how could they cook for him so kindly?  Unlessthe general he left behind is dead, then these subordinates can be so unscrupulous.  Thinking of this, Kuakuo suddenly pulled his horse and shouted at the same time: "Quick, retreat beyond the bow and arrow range of the city!" After Kuakuo finished speaking, he pulled his horse and ran back.  It's a pity that his soldiers are not so sharp. They are too tired. Fatigue makes them lose their ability to react quickly. So, when the arrows on the city top fell sparsely, they suddenly understood,  The people on the city wall rebelled!  Seeing that the Tatars below the city were about to flee, the defenders on top of the city immediately made a new choice, shooting with arrows and beating the Tatars hard!  After the Tatars came to Shangdu, they did nothing good. First, they plundered all the food from everyone, and then forced people to serve as soldiers. Therefore, they, the indigenous residents, did not like the Tatars at all.  Just now, they originally wanted to use a trick to easily deal with the Tatars. Now, for some reason, the Tatars actually saw through their plan, so they had to immediately change their approach and become an active attack.  As soon as the city gate was closed, the Tatar cavalry outside the city no longer posed a threat. Then, they kept shooting downwards with their own arrows.  Kuang Kuo¡¯s face was horribly gloomy. Going out to fight in the city by himself has been proven to be a complete mistake!  He even lost the capital city.  There were Ming cavalry chasing behind them, but they could not enter the capital city. Without hesitation, they immediately ordered their troops to go west and return to the grassland!  Wherever you come from, you will return to where you came from. In addition to losing half of the army in this expedition, there is no other gain.  He didn¡¯t know that when he went back, he learned that his capital city and forest had been patronized by the grassland tribes and the Ming army because of the lack of troops. Regarding this battle, he had completely realized his mistake.  An hour later, Lan Yu's cavalry who followed Kuan Kuo, just when it was getting dark, also caught up to Shangdu City.  Lan Yu has always remembered that the Shangdu City was lost in his own hands, so he must regain it in his own hands!  With this mentality, Lan Yu's cavalry slowly approached Shangdu City. Although they wanted to attack the city immediately, Lan Yu also knew that his cavalry could not attack the city.  So, he could only look up at the city while waiting for Prince Chen's infantry to arrive from behind.  Lan Yu didn¡¯t know that Kuakuo had run away a long time ago, and even if he knew, the exhausted cavalry under him couldn¡¯t catch up with Kuakuo.  Who knows, he was surprised to see that the gate of Shangdu City was actually opened!  Then, a voice shouted from the top of the city: "Brothers, we are the army that rebelled in Xanadu, and Xanadu has been controlled by us!" "Welcome to our Ming Dynasty army!" "Yes, brothers, hurry into the city.  !¡± The shouts on the top of the city made Lan Yu unable to believe her ears. What was going on?  "General, it may be a trick of the Tatars. They can't defeat us, so they want to trick us into entering the city. When we are halfway in, the city gate closes and divides us into two parts, the inner and outer parts. A burst of bows and arrows can make us lose money."  Tragic." said the deputy general beside Lan Yu.  No one believes that the people on the top of the city are the rebel army and their own people. They are all guessing that they are tempting themselves.  Lan Yu gritted her teeth: "No, even if they want to trick us into entering the city, we have entered the city. Even if only one person enters the city, we will kill the Tatars and turn the world upside down, and we will also capture the upper capital!" Lan Yu  I don¡¯t want to wait any longer. The city was lost from him, so it must be taken back from him!  So, Lan Yu mobilized the army and took the lead, entering Shangdu City through the open city gate.  The setting sun shines on Shangdu City, on everyone¡¯s body, and on the ground.The crotch is very long.  Lan Yu entered the city until she entered the military camp, and finally believed that there were no more Tatars in Shangdu City, and that the city was back in her hands.  However, Lan Yu was a little depressed again. This city was not conquered by herself at all!  After waiting for two days, Mu Ying's infantry also entered Shangdu City, and this important northern town returned to the control of the Ming Dynasty.  Following Mu Ying, His Royal Highness King Yan also patrolled north to Shangdu City.  ¡¾Hey, want to read this book for free?  Follow us on WeChat: and read]
