Shi Heng was leading the army to fight, and the blood had already stained the armor red, and at this time, he suddenly saw that the main army of Warat had accelerated its retreat, and his heart was completely steady, and he shouted loudly: "Soldiers! Surround me! Encirclement and annihilation! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers roared angrily, at this time the battlefield of 10,000 Vara Iron Cavalry has been surrounded, Ming soldiers shot arrows, lead bullets like pouring rain, Vara Iron Cavalry into pieces to shoot.

Coupled with the formation of the Ming army, the Warat Iron Cavalry had lost the speed of the charge, and they could not move on the battlefield, and could only do the last dying struggle.

Shi Heng stabbed a Warat knight to death, and then withdrew from the battlefield under the escort of his own soldiers, at this time the victory was decided, and Shi Heng no longer had to risk the arrows himself.

When Shi Heng returned to the city and climbed to the top of the city, he met Yu Qian head-on.

"Shi Dudu's victory in this battle is gratifying!"

Yu Qian said happily at this time, and Shi Heng was also smiling.

Before Liu Juntao annihilated nearly 20,000 Wala iron cavalry in a battle, he was in the limelight in front of the courtiers, and even Emperor Jingtai praised him, which made Shi Heng very jealous.

This time, Shi Heng led his troops to gather and annihilate 10,000 watts of iron cavalry in a battle, which can be regarded as a game back, and the mood is naturally very good.

However, Shi Heng still said a few polite words, and then said: "Lord Yu, although our army won this battle, the main force of the Tartars is not lost, and the evil battle behind it still has to be fought!" ”

Yu Qian also nodded, and stood at the head of the city with Shi Heng to supervise the battle, and the two talked a few words from time to time, and then watched the battle with one mind.

It didn't take long for tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army to slaughter all the 10,000 Wara Iron Cavalry, and there was not a single living mouth left!

The news of the Ming army's victory again soon spread throughout the capital, and the capital suddenly thundered with joy, whether it was the courtiers or the people, they were all confident and full of confidence in winning the battle.

After Yu Qian and Shi Heng returned to the Ming army camp outside Desheng Gate, they seized the time to discuss, and both of them thought that they would never give up on this with Tokhtar Buhua, and the Wara army would definitely make a comeback.

Therefore, Yu Qian and Shi Heng began to prepare for the battle.

First of all, Yu Qian carried out a temporary reorganization of the 140,000 troops inside and outside the capital, except for the 28,000 troops under Liu Juntao's department who continued to be stationed in Zhangyimen and did not carry out the reorganization, the remaining 11 and 20,000 Ming army officers and soldiers were all reorganized.

Yu Qian changed all the soldiers of the 11th and 20,000 Ming Army into ten regiments and battalions, and then all of them were pulled back to the city to garrison, and the soldiers of each department guarded the city wall in sections, among which the area around Deshengmen was the most important.

After that, the soldiers of the Ming army were well fed, their morale was greatly boosted, and they were ready for battle.

In addition, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the military department Shangshu could not directly command the army, and at this time, Yu Qian's command of the reinforcements of various departments was actually not in accordance with the system.

For this reason, Emperor Jingtai specially ordered Yu Qian to be awarded the important task of "supervising the military horses of each battalion", and ordered the generals of all battalions in Beijing to accept his moderation.

In this way, Yu Qian's command of the troops and horses can be said to be justified.

However, Shi Heng was dissatisfied with this, and secretly hated Yu Qian, who promoted him.

In the few days when Yexian and Tokhokbuhua led the army to retreat, Yu Qian dispatched all parties to actively prepare for war, and rushed to build weapons and equip the army day and night. Deploy troops around Beijing and strictly control the nine gates.

At the same time, Yu Qian ordered Shi Heng to be responsible for training the soldiers and horses of various units day and night, so as to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and also ordered all localities around the capital to step up the repair of large and small passes along the border.

In just a few days, the periphery of Beijing City has gradually formed a battalion based on the city, with the battle as the defense, the deployment of reinforcements, and the internal and external attacks.

While mobilizing troops and horses, Yu Qian also summed up the reasons for the defeat in the Battle of Tumubao, believing that the 500,000 Ming troops had been tossing and turning in the wind and rain for a long time, the military rations were not ready, the ordnance was not scustomed, the transportation was not timely, and even the only source of drinking water was cut off, and it was impossible to win the battle when the people were hungry and thirsty.

Therefore, Yu Qian tried his best to raise all kinds of materials to prepare for the war.

At this time, in addition to Liu Juntao's soldiers and horses, almost all of them wore armor, and only about one-tenth of the soldiers of the remaining Ming army had armor, and the weapons were also seriously insufficient.

To this end, Yu Qian ordered the Ministry of Industry to speed up the system, and on the other hand, transferred the inventory of weapons from all over the country into the capital in order to replenish the troops defending the city.

In the past few days, Yu Qian has hoarded more than 9,000 helmets and more than 5,000 armors; There are more than 11,000 muskets, more than 20,000 muskets, 440,000 arrows and rockets, and more than 800 artillery pieces of various sizes!

In terms of grain and grass, Yu Qian also worked hard, and at this time, the grain supplied to Beijing City was still stored in Tongzhou in the eastern suburbs, which could be eaten by the soldiers and civilians of Beijing for a year.

Because the quantity of these grains was too large to be transported to Beijing in the short term, Shi Heng was worried that they would be used by the Warat army, and advocated that the grain be burned.

But Yu Qian disagreed, believing that these grains were an important material basis for guarding the city of Beijing.

Therefore, Yu Qian adopted all measures to transport grain. In addition to the 500 carts requisitioned by the government to transport grain day and night, the common people and the families of officers and soldiers, relatives and friends were also mobilized to bring their own vehicles to Tongzhou to transport grain.

In order to encourage the people to assist in transporting grain, Yu Qian also proposed that the government would issue a certain amount of freight to those who transported more than 20 stone of grain into the capital, and also give another silver tael as a reward.

There will be brave men under the reward!

Under the supervision of Yu Qian, from the capital to Tongzhou, the mighty grain transportation team flowed endlessly, going back and forth day and night. In a few days, the millions of stone grain that had accumulated in Tongzhou were transported into the capital and stored.

At the same time, Yu Qian also organized the wood, bricklayers, and stonemasons in the capital into a team of craftsmen and trained them day and night.

These artisan teams seized the time to raise a large amount of masonry, wood, lime, tools, etc., in case of emergency.

Moreover, these craftsmen also strengthened the city wall of 45 miles around Beijing, and added and repaired the nine city gates of Chongwen, Zhengyang, Xuanwu, Dongzhi, Chaoyang, Xizhi, Fucheng, Desheng, and Anding in the capital, especially the Desheng Gate and Anding Gate in the north of the city, and the Xizhi Gate and Fucheng Gate in the west of the city. A total of more than 11,000 doors are set up, and the sand fence is more than 5,100 zhang long.

After gradually deploying the defense of Beijing City, Yu Qian also accepted Liu Juntao's suggestion: immediately spread the powerful people of the prefectures and counties around the capital and Shanxi, Hebei and other places, so that the soldiers and civilians in various places can take up arms and train militia regiments on their own, and they can attack the scattered soldiers and horses of Warat according to the situation, and the imperial court will issue a reward of silver according to the head of the Tartar captured, and a reward of 40 taels of silver for the head of a Tartar!

In this way, Liu Juntao and Yu Qian will have a great grasp of cutting off the back road of the Warat army, at least they can be distracted and distracted by this first.

While all parties in the Ming army were actively preparing for the big war, they also discussed the strategy of the big war with Tokhtarbuhua.

The two believed that at this time, the Ming army was in full array, and Beijing was the first fortified city in the world, and the Wara army had no choice but to launch a fierce attack regardless of casualties, and there was no other way.

Of course, he also chose to withdraw his troops first, but the huge victory in the battle of Tumubao had already made the two of them faint, thinking that the Ming army was no longer the opponent of the Wara Iron Cavalry, and they wanted to take down the city of Beijing and rebuild the glory of Mengyuan.

Therefore, under the strong advocacy of Yexian, the two decided to concentrate the main force of troops and horses to attack Deshengmen again, preparing to hit the main force of the Ming army in the area of Deshengmen.

At the same time, the partial division led by Totobuhua feinted to attack the rest of the city of Beijing in order to contain the strength of the Ming army.

He also said in a deep voice: "This siege of the city is bound to suffer a lot of casualties, and the Great Khan must not be saddened by these losses!" As long as the city of Beijing is conquered, the Great Khan can completely capture millions of people in the city, and can completely make up for the losses of the various departments! ”

After listening to this, he nodded, but the thought that he would lose a lot of troops made his heart still a little sad.

He also saw it first, and said, "Great Khan! Think of the wealth and women in the city of Beijing! Think of the glory of Dayuan! In this battle, I, Warat, will win! ”
