In the imperial palace, outside the Xiuzheng Hall, Liu Futong is gathering the cavalry to break out.
There are two thousand-man cavalry, one at the east end and one at the west end.
Everyone in the western cavalry group was wearing bright clothes and armor, and among them was a burly general carrying a child wearing a dragon robe.
That child is Han Qing'er's stand-in, and this cavalry is a death squad to distract the pursuing soldiers.
Queen Mother Liu Chun was also in this death procession.
She was currently wearing a pink hunting suit and a red robe, covering her mouth with her hands, staring closely at Han Qing'er next to Liu Futong.
Han Qing'er, wearing tattered linen clothes, suddenly shouted and ran towards Liu Chun!
"Queen Mother! I want to be with Queen Mother!"
Two soldiers stretched out their hands to stop him, preventing him from passing.
Liu Futong was also dressed in sackcloth and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother had not attracted the enemy, it would be difficult to distract the pursuers, and we would not be able to escape!"
Han Qing'er cried: "Can't we just find someone to pretend to be the queen mother?"
Liu Fu said: "The enemy has a portrait of the Queen Mother, and it will be easy to reveal the secret if you pretend to be the Queen Mother. You are young and short, and the substitute will hide behind the sergeant, so you will not arouse suspicion, but the Queen Mother cannot."
Han Qing'er still kept crying.
Liu Futong said sternly: "Why are you crying? Only if you survive and escape from the enemy siege can the Queen Mother's sacrifice be meaningful. Do you understand?"
Han Qing'er cried: "I only want my mother and nothing else. They want the throne, and I can give it to them!"
"Pa!"
Liu Futong raised his hand and slapped him.
"How many heroes have sacrificed their lives and possessions in order to expel the Mongolian Tatars! If you are caught or killed by the Mongols, the deaths of those people will become meaningless!"
Han Qing'er begged: "Then don't fight the Mongols, Tutor. I only want my mother. If my mother dies, I won't be able to live anymore!"
Liu Futong said angrily: "You——"
He stretched out his hand to hit again, but was held back by Sheng Wenyu.
Sheng Wenyu walked to Han Qing'er and squatted down.
"Your Majesty, if you and the Queen Mother are both caught, the enemy will execute the Queen Mother. However, if you are separated, as long as you are not caught, they will not harm the Queen Mother!"
Han Qing'er was startled for a moment, then asked Liu Chun: "Mother, is this true?"
Liu Chun took a deep breath and smiled with tears in her eyes.
"It's true. Good boy, listen to Taifu Liu and Sheng Pingzhang and break out with them. My mother will be fine."
Han Qing'er gritted her teeth and finally nodded.
Liu Futong bowed his hand to the general of the death squad.
"General Jiang, you will break out from Chengtian Gate in two quarters of an hour, and we will break out from Guangtian Gate in another quarter of an hour."
General Jiang raised his hands and said: "I have the order!"
Liu Futong patted him on the shoulder and was about to give the order to set off when a scout suddenly ran towards him from the east gate.
"Taifu, a brother just came to report that reinforcements have appeared at the east gate!"
Sheng Wenyu was overjoyed: "It must be the reinforcements sent by Liu Liu!"
Liu Futong remained calm, and only asked: "Are you sure he is one of ours?"
The scout said: "I'm sure, that brother saw General Li Rong!"
A bright light flashed in Liu Futong's eyes and he said: "Give me the order, gather all the troops, break out towards Chengtianmen, leave the imperial city, and go straight to the west gate!"
Sheng Wenyu changed his color and said: "Master, the reinforcements are at the east gate, why should we break out towards the west gate?"
Liu Fu Passage: "We all know that reinforcements are coming, wouldn't Chahan Timur not know? Now Yuan soldiers must be blocking the intersection leading to the east gate, and only the west side has a chance to break through!"
Han Qing'er asked eagerly: "Master, can the queen come with us?"
Liu Futong was silent for a long time and said: "The matter has reached this point. It is useless to send bait anymore. All troops must be concentrated and break out towards the west gate!"
Han Qing'er was overjoyed and hugged her mother tightly.
On the south street of Bianliang City, Timur led a cavalry group and ran towards the west of the city.
Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw a group of people and horses rushing towards me, blocking the road ahead.
Kuang Kuo's face changed slightly, and he shouted to the leading general of the other side: "General Polo, the commander ordered you to guard the west of the city, why did you leave your post without permission?"
General Polo said coldly: "The enemy's reinforcements appear in the east of the city. Liu Futong will definitely break out to the east of the city. Naturally, I will go over to intercept him!"
Kuo Kuo said: "Otherwise! Liu Futong is cunning by nature. He expected that we would concentrate on the road to the east gate and would definitely break through to the west!"
General Boluo is the son of Baduru Badulu, a Mongolian Sanzhiwu clan. He considers himself of noble blood and has always been dissatisfied with Chahan and Kuokuo's father and son. He sneered when he heard this.
"Are you afraid that I will take away your credit?"
Kuang Kuo said: "If you want to go to the east of the city, it's up to you. Get out of the way quickly. I'll go to the west of the city to stop you!"
Polo snorted: "It's ridiculous that a young Naiman dares to let our warriors of the Sanzhiwu clan give way! Everyone, will you agree?"
The soldiers on Polo Timur's side said in unison: "No!"
After the enlargement, the generals immediately became furious and cursed one after another.
Kao Kuo knew that now was not the time to quarrel, so he suppressed his anger and ordered his troops to get out of the way, allowing the Polo tribe to pass, and then ran towards the west of the city.
When they arrived at the main road in the west of the city, they saw a remnant of soldiers running towards them. After asking, they found out that Liu Futong's main force had just broken through here.
He was not in a hurry to expand his position. After asking Liu Futong in detail about his army and horses, he led his troops to pursue him.
A ray of dawn rose from the east, and before you knew it, it was dawn.
There is a bare hill in the south of Bianliang City, which is called Baozi Mountain by the locals.
This hill is open on all sides, with excellent views. It is close to the main road, and businessmen who come and go like to rest at the foot of the hill.
Lan Yu and Han Lin'er's five hundred cavalry are currently stationed on Baozi Mountain, one looking to the west and the other looking to the south.
When Li Rong led the reinforcements to the east gate, Lan Yu and Han Lin'er did not follow them into the city, but led the army around to the south gate.
After some discussion, the two young men felt that if Liu Futong wanted to break through, he could only have a chance through the west gate or the south gate.
They all remembered their agreement with Zhang Yangquan and did not risk their lives by going to the west gate, so they stayed outside the south gate.
If Liu Futong comes around from the west gate or comes out from the south gate, they can go there in time to respond.
If Li Rong's reinforcements cannot hold on and Liu Futong has not driven out yet, they can turn around and leave to prevent being surrounded by Yuan soldiers.
Han Lin'er glanced at Lan Yu and said, "Brother Lan, if Li Rong can't stand it later, don't be arrogant and you must leave immediately!"
Lan Yu laughed and said: "If I can't abide by the agreement, even if I go back alive, the king will never let me lead troops again, don't worry!"
After a pause, he said: "It's you, Han Qing'er is your brother, you won't rush into the city in a hurry, right?"
Han Lin'er said: "I have never seen him face to face. This time I came all the way to save him. I wonder if I can handle him!"
Lan Yu smiled and said: "That's good."
While he was talking, he suddenly saw smoke billowing from the northwest and a cavalryman running towards him.
Lan Yu's eyes lit up: "Here we come!"
Staring closely at the cavalry, I felt relieved when I saw that the flag belonged to the Song Army.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was smoke and dust behind the cavalry team, and hurriedly issued an order: "The whole army listens to the order and hides behind the hillside. Don't let anyone discover it!"
The sergeants ordered and prohibited, and soon took the horses and hid behind the hillside.
After a while, the Song Army cavalry passed by the foot of the mountain.
Lan Yu made a gesture, and all the sergeants got on their horses. He stared closely at the pursuing Yuan army cavalry.
At this moment, the Yuan army cavalry had arrived at the foot of the mountain, all looking at the Song army in front, and no one noticed the situation on the hillside.
Lan Yu waited for the right moment and shouted: "Charge!"
Five hundred cavalry suddenly rushed down the hillside from top to bottom and plunged into the pursuing cavalry team.
There were actually thousands of Yuan soldiers pursuing them, but they had already broken away from each other along the way and turned into a long, snake-shaped team.
Sapphire’s timing is just right.
The five-hundred cavalry team was like an awl, hitting the long snake's seven inches, separating the dozens of generals at the head of the snake from the team behind.
When Lan Yu rushed down, she had already focused on the enemy's general. After cutting the enemy into pieces, she turned her horse's head, rushed towards the man, and stabbed him in the back.
The general was none other than Timur. When he saw the enemy ambushing his troops, he was shocked. Just as he was surprised, Lan Yu's spear had already hit him.
At the critical moment, he did not dare to wave his gun to block it. He abandoned his horse and rolled down towards the grass beside him, disappearing into the grass.
Lan Yu stabbed the air with his spear, without stopping, turned around and picked another general off his horse.
In less than a cup of tea, dozens of Yuan generals were killed or injured.
Seeing that the enemy's rear troops quickly regained their formation, Lan Yu shouted loudly: "Brother Han, lead the brothers to retreat!"
Han Lin'er agreed and took the lead, chasing the Song army in the direction of retreat. The other soldiers immediately followed him.
However, several soldiers at the end of the team were entangled by the enemy, and one of them was injured in the arm and found it difficult to escape.
Lan Yu shouted loudly, drove his horse over, picked off three enemies in a row, and shouted to those people: "Quickly leave!"
After several sergeants were safely evacuated, he feinted a shot to repel an approaching general, turned his horse's head, and fled away. His riding speed shocked all the Mongolians.
With a 'swish' sound, an arrow shot out from the grass and shot towards Lan Yu's back.
When Lan Yu heard the sound, she leaned down and pressed against the horse's belly, while the arrow flew over her head.
Timur walked out of the grass and glanced over, only to see the lieutenants, commanders, and centurions in the team suffering heavy casualties and wailing.
Without the command of an officer, the combat effectiveness of the entire team will be greatly reduced. In addition, it is unknown whether the enemy has an ambush.
After considering the expansion for a moment, he finally did not give the order to pursue.
