After Emperor Taizu Gao established the Ming Dynasty, in order to sweep away the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty, he sent Feng Sheng, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, to lead his troops to pacify Hexi and win, build Jiayuguan and the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and rebuild the city of Suzhou.

In order to strengthen the defense of the northwest frontier, the Ming Dynasty set up the Seven Guards of Guanxi.

In the third year of Yongle, in 1405 AD, Emperor Chengzu set up Shazhou Wei in Dunhuang.

After Yongle, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty weakened, soon Turpan broke through Hami, Dunhuang faced a threat, the Ming Dynasty set up the Handong left guard in the ancient city of Shazhou, but the decline of the Ming Dynasty has appeared, Zhengde eleven years, 1516 AD, the Hexi Corridor was basically occupied by Turpan.

In the third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, in 1524 AD, the Ming Dynasty ordered to close the Jiayu Pass, and the civilians in the west of the Guanxi were moved to the Guan, and the two states of melon and sand were abandoned.

From the complete abandonment of the Hexi Corridor in the third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty to the first year of Jin Yongzhang, when Haoge destroyed Turpan, attacked Heshute Mongolia, and re-operated the Hexi Corridor, there was a difference of more than 100 years.

Jin Guo only had a short period of five years in Hexi, although Guazhou has undergone some restoration, but after all, it is a century-old city wall that has been abandoned, and it is seriously weathered, and the city bricks have become sand, which will be broken when pinched, and even a county town in the Central Plains cannot be compared.

This Guazhou City, on the outside, still looks a little, but some places are actually very bad.

The Mongols were supposed to dig a gap first, and then use wooden stakes to support it, and after the cave houses and personnel were evacuated, they burned the wooden stakes with fire, and the city wall lost its support, and naturally collapsed, but they themselves did not expect to collapse like this, and the four or five cave houses under the city wall, together with the Mongols inside, were all buried by sand and gravel.

The Jin army in the city did not expect that they threw down the city wall with a basket of thunder, trying to stop the Mongols from digging the city, but instead their own city wall collapsed.

Both sides were stunned, but after reacting, they immediately realized that the collapse would become the focus of contention between the two sides.

Before the dust cleared, the Mongols plunged headlong into the dim smoke and dust, and like a school of fish swimming up the water, they rushed down the slope along the collapsed mound of stones and earth.

The Mongol soldiers who were climbing along the siege ladder next to them also gathered when they saw this, and the collapse site immediately surged with people, forming a huge fan.

The Mongol soldiers stepped on the rubble and climbed up the crumbling wall, and a hundred chiefs had just poked his head out, and before he could rejoice, two spears stabbed him head-on, and he was stabbed down the slope with a scream.

The Mongolian soldiers next to him reacted and immediately returned fire with the weapons in their hands, and the golden soldiers above also fell, but the golden soldiers behind immediately filled in.

The movements of the Mongolian soldiers were a step slower, and Sun Kewang led the pro-army to climb to the top of the slope first, and stood on the golden army, which had a geographical advantage, stabbed down with spears and slashed with swords, and Mongolian soldiers continued to fall down the slope.

Seeing the collapse of the city wall, Chechnya naturally would not give up such an opportunity, and the horns of the Mongol army were extended, and countless Mongol soldiers continued to rush to the gap. Although the Jin army occupies a geographical advantage, its numbers are limited after all, and it cannot withstand the continuous attacks of the Mongols.

At this time, the dead Mongolian soldiers kept rolling down the slope, and the corpses were piled up high, but finally there was a hundred heads of households, and they bravely stepped on the top.

Sun Kewang stabbed a Mongolian soldier in the abdomen, and then kicked the corpse violently, kicking the corpse down the slope, the long knife was drawn out with blood, he watched a team of Mongolian soldiers splice the round shield into a wall, and blocked the thrusts of several spears one after another, seeing that the Jin army was about to be forced down the high slope, his heart immediately became anxious.

At this moment, on both sides of the collapsed city wall, a group of Jin army gunners and archers suddenly surged, and the gunners knelt on one knee and shot a piece of gunballs, while the archers threw at the Mongol soldiers crowded in the gap.

The Mongol soldiers poured into the gap, which greatly reduced the pressure on the two city walls, and Zhang Sheng was helped up and hurriedly summoned men and horses.

"Earthquake thunder, cast it for me!"

When the guns and arrows rained down the slope of the Mongolian soldiers, Zhang Sheng waved his knife and shouted, a Jin soldier with a frame on his back, rushed to the wall, they took out a sky-shaking thunder from the frame, and lit the lead with a fire fold, watching the lead flickering with firelight, and rushed in, and when the lead burned most of it, several soldiers immediately threw the earth-shaking thunder together.

On the slope, the explosion sounded, and the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers were lifted into the air, and the offensive was suddenly discharged.

The fierce fighting will continue, and the two armies will fight bloody battles, but the victory or defeat will not be decided for a while.

······

In the steppes at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, covered with a thin layer of white snow, here are the northern pastures of the Dzungar region, with 100,000 tents, scattered here for nomadic herding.

On a small tributary of the Ulungu River, thousands of white tents were densely packed, a medium tribe of the Dzungar tribe.

Some Dzungar herders are holding the grass stored in autumn and feeding the lambs in the sheepfold. A few Mongolian women are outside the tent, lighting an earthen stove and stewing mutton and strong tea, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, full of the taste of life.

A few miles away, an army composed of yellow, white, green, and red was attacking with murderous energy, like a crossbow arrow shot from a giant crossbow, exuding bursts of cold light, and the momentum was unstoppable.

The horses galloped, the horses' hooves trampled on the grass, splashing patches of snow and mud, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The 60,000 iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, starting from Beijing, galloped all the way, first hitting the 100,000 tents near the Ulungu Lake at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains, and then hitting the 60,000 tents at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

At this time, the eyes of the soldiers of the Eight Banners became more and more cruel, the front row of the front row of the spear was raised, the back of the sword was unsheathed, and the bow was already wound, like a fierce wolf pack on the grassland, pounced on the sheep a few miles away.

Chang Adai, who inherited the title of the king of Mandahai County, took the lead, and the white tent in front of him was already in front of him, he stared at the Mongolian camp with gloomy eyes, pointed the long knife in his hand to the left and right, and the 20,000 cavalry behind him were immediately divided into three teams, two of which were one left and one right, outflanking and killing thousands of tents.

"Kill!" The roar shattered the tranquility of the steppe, and the shouts of the Eight Banners were heard several miles away, and a very small number of Mongolian men in the camp hurriedly turned over their horses and raised their scimitars to meet the battle, but Batur Hui took away the vast majority of the young and strong, and the Mongols who came up to meet them were too small in front of the 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers.

In the camp, there was a sudden cry, men, women, and children rushed out of the tent in panic and fled in all directions, but they were ruthlessly killed by the Eight Banners cavalry.

The Qing army entered the camp, many Mongolian men, rushed out of the tent, they got on their horses, picked up weapons and prepared to fight, but they were far from the opponents of the Qing army with a large number of people, they were cut off their horses one after another, the grassland was filled with blood mist, corpses were everywhere, miserable, and on the snow-covered earth, a piece of dazzling red spots appeared in an instant......
