It is not only the side wall that has a beacon beacon tower, in every checkpoint in the border town of Datong, every high ground near the guard post and the town has a beacon tower, when the Mongolian cavalry breaks through the pass and plunders along the way, every beacon tower will be lit, so that the beacon fire and beacon smoke can warn all those who can see it, so that everyone is ready to fight and resist, of course, most of the time it is to tell the people to flee quickly, flee to the mountains, flee to the city, and wait for the officials and troops to assemble and drive away, more often it is to wait for the Mongolian horse team to loot enough and retreat.

The beacon smoke in the sky seen by Huairen County is often the enemy's activity or nuisance outside the border wall, and the beacon smoke is ready everywhere to get nervous. A few months ago, before and after the Mongolian horse team broke into the looting, the beacon smoke did not warn in time, but this reason is more than ten years of paralysis caused by the peace, after this bloody lesson, everyone will not be so quick to forget, has been abandoned a lot of the beacon warning system has been rebuilt, the beacon tower still has a certain sense of responsibility and vigilance, then the current beacon signal is accurate enough.

Both Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have the ability to distinguish and interpret these signals, and when the beacon smoke rises from far to near, it only means one thing, the enemy has broken the border wall level and has rushed into Datong Town!

“...... The Tartars came in......"

“...... Tartar ...... Tartar ......"

There was murmuring in the courtyard, there were already children crying, children often didn't know how terrible the Mongolian horse team was, but this tense and frightened atmosphere was instinctively felt, not to mention the children's gaffes, and even the voices of the family members who were staring at the sky were trembling.

There are 100,000 border troops stationed in Datong border town, and the checkpoints are often tens of thousands of soldiers, less than a thousand Mongolian horse teams break in, and it is not difficult to block or expel them, and the strange invasion of collusion between inside and outside the field a few months ago is just an exception, if it is a small border trouble, the beacon smoke will never be so dense and deep, and the scene that can be seen in front of you can only show one situation, a large force of Mongolian cavalry has entered!

"Go back to your own team, make a fire and make food, everything is as usual, and the rules of the family are broken!" Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Zhu Da's voice sounded.

After months of training, both the new old man and the young poor people formed a mechanical reaction, and they immediately knew what to do when they were given orders, and although they were afraid, they still carried it out instinctively.

"Ji Xiaodong, you take five old family members and twenty new family members to inspect the area around the residence, Wang Jing, you go to another place to pass on my orders, so that they can do things with peace of mind and not cause chaos." Zhu Da calmly issued the order.

How many horses did the Mongol cavalry have in large groups? Thousands or tens of thousands? After all, there has been no such invasion in Datong for more than ten years, in this era, more than ten years is often a generation, and many previous memories have been forgotten a lot, but there are still people who tell Zhu Da that Zhu Da still has the knowledge and experience of more than 20 years of life.

There is no danger of mountains and rivers between the Mongolian control areas and the Ming Empire on the steppe, and it is not even as good as the terrain interval between Shanxi and the adjacent provinces, what can be called a barrier is the defense line built with the side wall, not so much that the side wall uses the terrain, but rather that the border wall level is barely in the form of defense, and this defense line is too thin, too easy to be broken through, once it is broken, only the cities and mountains in the border town of Datong can be regarded as a hiding place.

But the core area of Datong is a horse Pingchuan, once the Mongolian cavalry breaks in, it will advance quickly along the official road and even the field, enter Shanxi, enter the north Zhili, once it is broken in, there is no danger to defend everywhere in Datong, there is no way to stop the enemy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Da couldn't help but look to the north and east, there is the Xiongcheng Datong over there, where there are all the soldiers and horses, the grain and grass are sufficient, the city is majestic, it can be said that it is safe enough, but except for that side, the other cities in the border town of Datong are not worth mentioning, including this small Huairen County.

Zhu Da took a deep breath, he couldn't do anything calm, far beyond the strength and martial arts of his peers, beyond the knowledge and information of the times, the strength of the hundreds of people who have gathered now are not worth mentioning in the surging wave of cavalry, and when he saw the hundreds of horsemen roaring on the mountain that day, he felt as if he was crushed, if it was really tens of thousands of cavalry coming, it was a landslide and tsunami, and people were in front of them as mantis arms.

After the small situation in Baibao Village and Hebian New Village was destroyed, will the business that I have managed to do in the county seat also be destroyed? Will he and his only remaining relatives be able to escape death this time? Zhu Da was not at all sure, because he had the memories of more than 20 years, he didn't think that he might be the chosen one, but now he has completely abandoned these delusions, if it is the chosen one, how can he be so powerless in the face of fate and the general trend.

Zhu Da seemed to be looking at the sky in the distance, but in fact he was stunned, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"West, West!" Suddenly, someone shouted, and this shout also interrupted Juda's musings.

The sky is almost bright, the dark night quickly fades in the sky, and the sky in the west can also be seen clearly, there are also beacon smoke over there, from far to near, black smoke that goes straight to the sky!

A team of Mongolian horses has burst in from the west! Datong border town is not a point, but a line, Datong border town supports the border wall garrison from Xuanfu to Yulin, I didn't expect the enemy not only from the east, but also from the west, Zhu Da really understood the signal of the beacon smoke, and the enemy broke through from all the checkpoints in Datong at the same time!

"Boss, boss, what now?" Someone walked up to him and asked, the people who can be called this are none other than Wang Hu and Wang Xiong, who are regarded as the head of the sect.

I don't know when they came here, they were staring at Zhu Da with doubt, Zhu Da took a breath, he didn't know if his trembling and gaffe were seen by the other party.

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong looked at each other, Wang Xiong shook his head with a smile on his face, Wang Hu sighed and said: "I'm afraid that there will be a big disaster this time, the Tartars will at least come to ten thousand horses this time, or several passes will be launched at the same time, I'm afraid that it will start at dawn, otherwise you can see the beacon fire last night to warn...... After that fight more than ten years ago, everyone felt that it was too peaceful, and the horse was released in Nanshan, but I am afraid that now there is a rush everywhere, and they all say how ridiculous that grandfather is, but he is still a ......."

As he spoke, Wang Hu's voice was much higher, obviously angry, but he was quietly pulled by Wang Xiong, only shaking his head and panting over there but not speaking.

Zhu Da heard Yuan Biao say that during the Zhengde years, the little prince led his troops to the south several times, when the beacon fire in the border fortress was almost not extinguished, sometimes there was a police at night, and the beacon flame in the direction of the side wall to the hinterland of the border town was burning, and half of the sky would be reflected red, and the soldiers and civilians of Datong who could see these were sleepless all night.

There is Ding Zhuang on duty on the city wall at night, even if these people are slack, Zhu Da also has a team here to patrol the night, if they saw abnormal movements and warning signals last night, they will report it anyway, and they will not let Zhu Da sleep until just now, that is to say, the attack and invasion of the Mongolian horse team on the border pass will not exceed two hours, and the power that can break through the border pass must be extraordinary, and it can be so low-key, and it can be launched in coordination at about the same time......

People who know the side affairs will shudder when they think about it a little, the Mongolian horse team has taken out such a big determination to make such a meticulous action, what are they going to do, and then think about Datong's armament will be even more terrifying, more than ten years of peace has made everyone think that peace is the norm, unintentional to have a heart, the result will be even more unbearable, this is what Wang Hu said "big disaster", it is not an exaggeration.

Zhu Da's expression gradually became cautious, and Wang Xiong's expression was quite subtle, and he cleared his throat and whispered, "Proprietor, what should I do now?" ”

"What to do? What else can you do but stay in the city? Zhu Da asked a few words, and then realized that Wang Xiong's inquiry was playful, he frowned and looked over, Wang Xiong just smiled and bowed his head.

From the first time he saw Wang Xiong, Zhu Da felt a little strange, Wang Xiong is indeed a martial artist, and his skills will not be bad, but this does not seem to be a pure martial artist, and this kind of casual and casual regardless of the occasion is not what a general's personal soldiers should have.

In fact, there are not many choices in the inquiry, except in the city, there is also to flee to a safer place, but now there is nowhere to escape, the Mongolian horse team is not very fast on the grassland, but once it enters the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it will immediately move forward at full speed, and all the looting within the range of the march will be held as soon as possible, the Mongolian cavalry is often a person, two horses or even three horses, if you go at full speed, it will not take more than two days to reach Datong from the side wall, and it will not take more than three days to reach Huairen County.

Now several safe directions, the nearest safe city is Datong, but in this situation, Datong will definitely close the city gate, if you can't enter the city, wait for the Mongolian cavalry to arrive, the consequences can be imagined, you can also go into the mountain, you can also go south to Shanxi, but you can't take too many people into the mountain, you can go to Shanxi for a long time, if you want to move quickly, you can't take too many people, no matter what, you will lose the power gathered now, and you have to start from scratch, but there has been such an abandonment and escape, will anyone follow next?

Is this a test of one's own mind? Zhu Da glanced at Wang Xiong coldly, and Wang Xiong smiled and lowered his head.

"All the family members are gathered here, and the materials are also gathered, pass on my orders, and those who do not obey the order and move will not be spared!" Zhu Da gave the order loudly, his tone was stern, but after saying this, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more stable.

As soon as the people who went to another place to mobilize the herald were out of the courtyard gate, they almost collided head-on with Chang Kai, who was hurrying over, Chang Kai had panic and impatience on his face, and when he entered the courtyard gate, he raised his voice and said: "Brother Zhu, Master Qin and Aizhi County have summoned all the masters to go to the yamen, and I am here to call you." ”
