On the broad grassland, the sky is vast, the wind blows the grass and is uninhabited~

Chijin took a few of his men, each riding two horses, and walked very leisurely in the direction of Datong in the south.

He is one of the head of the guards under the command of the little prince Batu Munk, Batu Munk is also called Dayan Khan, the transliteration of the Great Yuan Khan, but he is not a descendant of the Golden Family, so although Dayan Khan has unified the Eastern Mongolian tribes and eliminated the long-standing secession situation in Eastern Mongolia, he still has to support a puppet of the Golden Family to command the Mongolian tribes.

Dayan Khan was an extremely strategic and very resourceful and ambitious man, he inherited his father's Bayan Mong position at the age of seven, and when he was a child, he followed his wife Mandu Luhatun to conquer Warat, forcing Warat to move westward, and when he became an adult, he successively eliminated the foreign power minister Yisimain and others, and completely grasped the power left by his father.

After that, he devoted himself to unifying the Mongolian tribes, wanting to restore the glory of Genghis Khan, so that the sunlit places became the pastures of the Mongols.

In the first year of Hongzhi, the little prince Batu Munch sent a messenger to ask for tribute, asking Emperor Hongzhi to crown him as the Great Khan, the Ming Dynasty because of the weakening of the military after the Tumubao Change, there was no ability to suppress the Mongol tribes, so it had to be allowed.

It was also from that time that Dayan Khan began to invade the south repeatedly, trying to re-enter the Huahua World of the Central Plains, especially in autumn and winter, almost all of them would go south to raid the border.

At this time, it was already September, the weather began to get cold, and it was almost the most difficult season, so Dayan Khan also began to prepare in advance, and sent a lot of reconnaissance cavalry to start spying and reconnaissance in the Daming border town area, preparing to find a breakthrough in order to formulate a plan to go south.

Chijin and a few of his subordinates came to Datong to spy on the situation.

In the past, the little prince went south, there were generally three routes, the left line was to take the Ningxia and Gansu areas, the middle line was to take the Datong, Xuanfu, Taiyuan line, and the right line was to take the Liaodong line.

The three lines have their own advantages and disadvantages, the left line of Ningxia and Gansu is the best breakthrough, but this area is poor, there is not much looting property, and this area is far away from the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to deter the Ming court.

As for the eastern line of Liaodong, it is close to the Daming Jingshi, and only a light touch, the Daming Jingshi will immediately tense up, but the terrain here is dangerous, and there is the obstruction of the Great Wall, which has always been the most difficult to break through.

The middle line of Datong, Xuanfu, and Taiyuan is close enough to the Daming Jingshi, as long as it breaks through Taiyuan, it can immediately look at the Daming Jingshi, forming a huge deterrence and pressure.

At the same time, this area is also a very rich area, every raid can be a bumper harvest, grain, salt, iron, and Ming slaves, etc., these are everyone's favorite, but also Dayan Khan used an important means to consolidate his position, because everyone likes to follow the boss who can bring food and spicy food.

Since the first year of Hongzhi, Dayan Khan has raised troops to buckle the edge almost every winter, and every time he can harvest a lot, and slowly it has become a practice, every winter, they will buckle the edge.

And every time the border can be successful, while deterring the Ming court, it can also make the tribes that follow him benefit greatly, which also makes Dayan Khan's position unshakable and stronger.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are a group of cowardly sheep, they can only rely on the city to survive, as long as the city is breached, everything in it can be claimed by us~"

While riding a horse, Chijin also chatted with his subordinates about the raids in the south, which was everyone's favorite topic to talk about.

"You may not know that this woman of the Ming Dynasty has very white skin and fragrant body, which is called a stimulus~"

"This year, you all work hard, and strive to grab a Ming Dynasty woman back when the time comes, and you will know when the time comes."

When he said this, several of Chijin's men couldn't help but laugh happily, and their hearts were hot.

Raiding the south, this is the most anticipated show every year.

The young warriors have heard too many, too many stories like this, their slashing knives have been sharpened, and the war horses have been fed fat and strong, just waiting for Dayan Khan to give an order, and once again enter the Huahua world of the Central Plains, into the cities of the Ming Dynasty, where there is everything they want.

Chijin and the others are very fast, and at the same time they are very skilled in controlling the two horses, once they are discovered and pursued by the Ming Dynasty, they can also quickly change horses and escape.

However, Chijin did not think that the Ming Dynasty people had the courage to dare to come out to pursue these warriors, through the looting over the years, they have clearly known that these Ming Dynasty people are very weak, as weak as sheep, even if only a few cavalry appear outside the city, the Ming Dynasty people will be scared half to death, no one dares to come out at all.

Almost unscrupulous, Chijin led his people straight to Datong without the slightest intention of concealing it.

On the withered yellow grassland, a wall built on the slopes of the mountains came into view, built in the canyon between the two mountains, blocking their way south.

"This wall seems a little different?"

From afar, Chijin found something different.

"What's the difference?"

The subordinate hurriedly asked.

"It seems to have gotten a lot higher, a lot~"

Chijin wiped his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then remembered the city wall he saw when he came here last year, and thought about it.

"Bell~Bell~"

On the tall city wall of Datong, the lookouts of the border army stationed here naturally discovered the red gold in the distance early through the telescope, and immediately rang the bell in a panic, and they were in a panic.

I have to say that at this time, the Daming border army was really a scumbag, just a few horses and a few scouts, and the entire garrison of Datong was already scared.

This is still the most effective border army in the Ming Dynasty, if the guards in various places are guarded, it is estimated that they will be scared out of urine at this time, the guard system has long been rotten, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.

But soon, these border troops calmed down, there were not many enemies, most of them were scouts, and it was impossible to attack Datong at all, not to mention, even if there were large troops behind these scouts, they were not afraid.

Because the current Datong is no longer the Datong of a few months ago.

Because of the emergence of cement, the Ming court also formulated a series of plans to renovate the Great Wall and the border town wall, purchased a large amount of cement, and continuously transported it to the border town area.

In the past, it was very expensive to build the city wall, and Emperor Hongzhi was a lord who loved the people like a son, so the city wall of this town was also repaired for a year and stopped for a year, and many times it was tinkering, and it did not play any substantive role at all.

This is also the reason why the city wall is repaired every year, but the little prince can still go south every year to detain the pass, because it has no effect at all.

In particular, the Great Wall in the area of Datong and Xuanfu is different from the Great Wall in Beijing, it is not the Great Wall composed of blue bricks and stones, but the Great Wall of the city built with earth.

Such a Great Wall can easily collapse under the wind and rain, so it is also full of loopholes, and the nomads in the north can always find a breakthrough.

But now with cement, it's a completely different story.

As soon as the cement artifact came out, the construction of the city wall became very simple and easy, it was enough to have sand and stones, the speed of construction was fast, the quality of the city wall was good, and the cost of money, food, manpower and so on was much less.

The border army here in Datong Mansion is even more frenzied to increase the height of the city wall of Datong by more than 20 meters, and the height of the city wall is almost the same as the height of the mountains on both sides.

"This~This~"

Chijin was dumbfounded, as the Datong city wall got closer and closer, he saw more and more clearly, looking at the huge city wall almost as high as the mountains on both sides, he opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened.
