It has been two and a half days since Wang Zezhi came to kill the tiger.

When he arrived, there was a little hiccup.

There are still some garrisons in the Tiger's Mouth, Tuanshan Broken Capture Fort, Shuanggou Pier.

These people were either honest sergeants or sergeants with a deep hatred for the Tartars.

As for those slippery ones, they ran a long time ago, either before or after the Battle of Datong.

Because of the superiors of these people, running and dying, these sergeants lived an extremely difficult life after returning to the station.

As soon as Wang Zezhi's people arrived, these people began to cry and complain.

It is said that the imperial court has owed them ten months' wages, with an average of twenty-three taels per person, and the sum of these people is less than a thousand, that is to say, the total is less than thirty thousand taels.

When Wang Zezhi heard this, with a wave of his hand, he handed out all the silver owed to them by the court, and gave them some mutton to eat.

These people devoured one by one, patting their chests one after another while eating, expressing their willingness to follow Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi looked at these people and laughed happily.

To survive the battle of Datong and hold on to it until this time, these people have some ability.

And they all had horses, so Wang Zezhi formed a temporary light cavalry and named it Datong Light Cavalry, which was directly under his jurisdiction.

At this moment, he held on to the battlement of the tiger's mouth and looked at the position in front of him.

Wang Zezhi learned the lessons of the Battle of Xi'an Fort and rearranged his position.

The trench was still there, but it was no longer necessary to use the rejection of horses as a line of defense, for he found that in the face of the galloping charge of ten thousand horses, the rejection of horses was no longer so useful.

He laid out barbed wire.

These barbed wire fences were specially ordered by him to be built by the Foundry Bureau.

The trench was covered with barbed wire and spikes, and he didn't believe that this time the cavalry would rush at him.

So far, he has not heard from Lin Dan Khan's army.

However, Wang Ze was not worried at all, with Lin Danhan's temperament of retribution, he would definitely follow after he saw the three big characters of Xi'anbao.

Shen Shi, the light horseman who dragged the wood ran back from the gap in the position.

Of course, the gap is not large, you can walk up to two horses at a time, and if the gap is too large, the enemy will rush at once.

As soon as Tuomu came back, he ran up the city wall to report to Wang Zezhi.

"The subordinates have fulfilled their mission."

Tuomu briefly reported.

One hundred and twenty-four horsemen died in battle, which was not bad.

Wang Zezhi didn't have time to praise Momu, he wanted to come to Xiao Liuzi's monocular to look at the tens of thousands of troops that followed Momu.

Lin Dan Khan's army stopped in formation, and after a while, a single horse came out of the column and came towards the mouth of the killer.

"The guards of the city listened, and now the co-lord of the steppe is Hutuketu Khan (Lin Dan Khan), and the Ming Dynasty should be congratulated.

The congratulatory gift should be a total of 500,000 taels of silver from the three families of Xiao Gangqing, Yong Shao Bu, and Bu Ya Rabbit.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty should compensate our grassland warriors, these soldiers are all grassland people who died at the hands of the Datong guards, and the compensation amount is 300,000 taels of silver. ”

Lin Dan Khan's envoy was arrogant and imposing, standing under the city pass and shouting loudly.

"What if I say no?" Wang Zezhi leaned against the wall and asked seriously.

"Hmph, if the Ming Dynasty refuses, hundreds of thousands of troops from my grassland will go south in an instant, and they will definitely set foot on the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"Bang!" Wang Zezhi didn't say a word of nonsense anymore, and shot the messenger's head.

Wang Zezhi didn't want to talk nonsense with Lin Dan Khan.

According to Wang Zezhi's understanding, although Lin Dan Khan has achieved some military victories since his westward migration, he has offended most of the Mongolian feudal lords, making him fall into a lonely situation, and he is getting farther and farther away from the dream of unifying Mongolia.

Although Lin Dan Khan obtained a rich right-wing homeland, because of the early frost outside the Cypriot Block, the grain was not collected and the epidemic was prevalent, and the Cypriot Outer Parts were almost in a desperate situation. city

The resistance of the various ministries also greatly weakened the strength of the Chahar tribe itself, and its troops were severely depleted, and the hundreds of thousands of troops mentioned by the envoy were only a threat.

After the battle of Ebuha, although Lin Dan Khan won, he killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 of himself, and Lin Dan Khan definitely didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands.

The horse under the messenger's seat was frightened and ran back the same way with the messenger's body.

Wang Zezhi used a telescope to observe Lin Dan Khan's array, 3000~7000 troops in Wanhufu, 300~700 troops in 1000 households, 100 households, 10 brands and other 4 levels, which are led by 10,000 households, 1000 households, and brand heads.

Just looking at 10,000 households, it is estimated that Lin Dan Khan's soldiers and horses are about 30,000.

And what made Wang Zezhi strange was that this time Lin Dan Khan's soldiers and horses did not have a single infantry, all of them were cavalry.

Wang Zezhi boldly guessed that Lin Dan Khan came to Daming this time, not really to fight, but to deter and beg for rewards.

However, Wang Zezhi will not follow his wishes.

After a while, the horn sounded, and Lin Dan Khan's army moved.

Tens of thousands of cavalry charged at the same time, and the momentum was amazing, like a stormy wave.

"Open fire."

There were ten red-clothed cannons on the city wall, which was only one-third of the number in Wang Zezhi's hands.

The remaining twenty red-coated cannons were defended in Datong Mansion City and the guerrilla battalion respectively, and ten of these red-coated cannons were originally on the upper floor of Datong Mansion City, and the rest were built by the Foundry Bureau.

This is also thanks to Wang Zezhi's apprenticeship policy, with this policy, these craftsmen of the Foundry Bureau no longer swept away and treasured themselves.

Although the Foundry Bureau is still expanding wildly, Wang Zezhi feels that this is far from enough, and what he needs is an industrial-style logistics base, not a small Foundry Bureau.

With the king's command, the heralds waved their flags and the gunners lit the red-coated cannons.

"Boom~"

The sound of a salvo of ten red-coated cannons joined in unison.

Ten fiery iron balls, with a puff of smoke and fire, smashed into Lin Dan Khan's cavalry array.

With a bang, an iron ball hit the head of a horse, and the horse's head was directly torn apart, and the iron ball was castrated unabated, shooting into the cavalry behind the horse's head.

Iron Ball leaped down from his horse with the cavalry, knocking over the three horses behind him one after another, and the horses fell to the ground in pain.

Due to inertia, the cavalry on it flew out of the horse and fell to the ground fiercely, bleeding from the seven orifices, and life and death were unknown.

Look at this cavalry again, all kinds of organs are broken.

Even though he was wearing armor, the iron ball was still embedded in his abdomen.

One cannonball, killing and wounding four horses, four cavalry.

The damage caused by the other nine shells was not weaker than this one, and one even hit the horse's leg, knocking down more than a dozen horses along the way, and a blank area appeared on that front visible to the naked eye.

The gunners on the city walls did not have time to celebrate, skillfully cleared their chambers, loaded their guns, loaded their cannons, adjusted them again, and opened fire.

"Boom~"

Another salvo fired, and once again there were ten gaps in the Tartars' array, all of which were caused by the red-coated cannons.

Just after the second volley, the Tartar cavalry rushed to the barbed wire positions.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

All of a sudden, the screams came and went.

The cavalrymen who rushed to the barbed wire fence fell into the trench behind the net, and the men and horses were bloodstained by the wire.

Waiting for them were spikes in the trenches.

However, there were too many of these cavalrymen after all, and just three breaths of the first line of barbed wire and trenches were filled with horse corpses and human corpses.

The first barbed wire and trenches alone cost the Tartars hundreds of cavalry.

However, Wang Zezhi laid out more than 20 barbed wire and trenches.

Wang Zezhi sneered and ordered lightly.

"Furlong cannon, fire."
