The faint smell of blood and the faint sound of shouting and killing came from the open Bauhinia Pass, and soon returned to calm.

Sure enough, there is a fraud!

also showed a sneer on his face.

Again, the unknown is what is most feared. Even if it was the loss of a team of exploration horses, there was not the slightest news coming, but the disappeared exploration horses were the news, which made those who were originally a little uneasy to relax first.

"Send more people and probe again!

Looking at the empty Bauhinia Pass, his face was filled with murderous intent.

Let your tricks be full of tricks, and I will break them with my own strength.

After ambushing the four groups of scouts sent by Yasan one after another, Dauntless finally ordered a retreat. He knew that with Yexian's military talents, he might have figured out the situation in the pass through the scouts who had lost contact one after another, and if he didn't withdraw at this time, there would be no chance.

Remove!

A group of ghostly figures quickly disappeared into the empty and uninhabited Bauhinia Pass.

Not long after the dreadnoughts disappeared into the Bauhinia Pass, a large number of Warat cavalry swarmed in and occupied the Bauhinia Pass.

"Marshal, except for the killed scouts of our side, no one has been found, obviously the enemy has fled before our army enters the Bauhinia Pass!" The forward general Mu Chi's face was a little ugly, he was killed so many people, and he didn't even see a single hair of the other party, which made him extremely annoyed.

He was also very angry at first, not because he lost a few teams of scouts, nor because he didn't catch the Ming soldiers who were hiding in the Bauhinia Pass to hunt the Warat cavalry, but because he was angry that he had fallen into the empty city plan. Otherwise, the army will swarm down, and you won't be able to crush all the ghosts and ghosts.

"The army is stationed here, and the cavalry is sent forward to investigate the situation! Clear the enemy scouts along the way! After giving the order to Mu Chi, he also drove towards the Bauhinia Pass in a huff.

、、、、、、

A day later, the first army waved out of the Bauhinia Pass, and 150,000 Warat iron cavalry approached the Beijing division.

After more than a month of hard work, coupled with the destruction of Wang Zhen's henchmen, the indestructibility of Datong and Xuanfu, soldiers and horses from all over the country came one after another. At this time, both the ministers and the common people in the capital already had the courage and determination to confront the strong enemy, as well as the strength.

They began to believe that the Yexian army was not invincible, and that the Ming Dynasty would be like Taizu Taizong to defeat the Warat army.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Among them, Yu Qian's contribution is definitely the greatest.

Since Yu Qian was appointed as the secretary of the military department, he has been constantly busy, from food reserves to army training. From the security of the city to the repair of the city walls, he had to deal with all the problems. It can be said that he has been busy all this time, sleeping for less than three hours a day, and he has not even been home for a long time.

Not only Yu Qian, but the entire Ming Dynasty was like a high-speed machine at this time, and everyone was working overtime and desperately.

In addition to the lack of manpower, because everyone understands that now is the race against time, a little more time, a little more work, the more certainty of victory.

Finally, when the troops were also waved to attack the capital, the defense of the capital was basically perfected, and the various passes and strongholds around the Beijing division were placed to defend themselves, and all the troops were also trained during this period of time, and they had the strength to fight first.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the capital of Yanjing was invaded by foreign enemies for the first time, until the soldiers came to the city!

In Fengtian Palace, the monarch and ministers were discussing state affairs, and suddenly there was a loud shout, and the eunuch was ordered to kneel down on the main hall panting, "Your Majesty, the army has also passed through the Bauhinia Pass first, and is approaching the Jingshi."

Zhu Qiyu stood up suddenly, looked at the sky in the distance through the main hall, and muttered to himself: "It's finally here, whether it's success or failure depends on this battle!" ”

、、、、、、

The army of Warat approached the capital division, and the people were frightened and the court was strife.

"Everything in the defense of the capital is arranged by the Ministry of War." At this time, Zhu Qiyu was rarely extremely calm, he looked at Yu Qian, and said, "Okay, next, because the military department commands the defense of the capital!" ”

"Everything depends on Yu Qing!"

The minister of the DPRK looked at Yu Qian nervously, although he had been prepared for a long time, now that the Wara army was about to come to the city, the minister of the DPRK and the central government could not help but be nervous and afraid.

Bowing to Zhu Qiyu sitting on the dragon chair, Yu Qian turned around and took a step forward, looked at the frightened and nervous look of the minister of the DPRK and China, and said solemnly: "At present, although there are more than 200,000 defenders in the Beijing Division, the army is also brave and good at fighting, and it is coming with a great victory. However, we are the Ming Dynasty civil and military, and we need to fight for the country, and we will die. ”

He changed his words and shouted: "The nine gates of the Jingshi, each place may become the target of the first attack. Therefore, the decision of the headquarters is to distribute the forces evenly among the nine gates of the Beijing Division, and send one general to command on the spot, and have reserve troops ready to invest at any time to supplement the battlefield where the battle situation is unfavorable! ”

This is also the final result after everyone has discussed, and it is also the only way to win.

"Andingmen, Tao Jin!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Dongzhimen, Sun Xiang, Liu An!"

"Chaoyangmen, Zhu Ying!"

"Xizhimen, Liu Ju!"

"Zhengyangmen, Li Duan!"

"Chongwenmen, Liu Dexin!"

"Xuanwumen, Yang Festival"

"Fuchengmen, Gu Xingzu!"

"Deshengmen, Yu Qian, Shi Heng, Fan Guang!"

The generals were shocked when they heard this, and immediately looked at Yu Qian.

Everyone knows that Desheng Gate is the most important city gate in the north of the capital, and it is also the first checkpoint for the Yexian army, and most of them will attack Desheng Gate first, which will surely become the most fierce place for the battle, and the most dangerous place.

And Yu Qian is classified as the secretary of the military department, controlling the soldiers and horses in the world, it can be said that he is the most powerful person in the entire Ming Dynasty, and there is no one. If he were to command a battle in other relatively safe places, no one would say anything!

However, everyone never expected that Yu Qian would arrange himself in the most dangerous place.

At this time, the generals who were still a little hesitant to be named had nothing to say. Even Yu Qian personally put on the battle, or sat in the most dangerous place, what else did they have to say.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu also disapproved of Yu Qian being on the front line, but Yu Qian insisted that if he was not on the front line, in addition to not being able to convince the public, it was also not conducive to on-the-spot command and handling emergencies.

Under Yu Qian's repeated insistence, Zhu Qiyu could only agree with Yu Qian's statement.

Zhu Qiyu knew that although Yu Qian was appointed as the secretary of the military department. However, he had never led troops or fought in battles before, and he was unable to suppress the generals below, and if he was not on the most dangerous front line, he would probably not be able to command like an arm, which would not be conducive to operational command.

I have to say that Yu Qian is indeed a talented person with outstanding ability, Wen can set the country, Wu can Anbang, without him, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to continue to last for more than a hundred years without the death of the country after Tumubao.

Looking at the expressions of the generals, Zhu Qiyu said: "This battle will determine the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, and it is related to the society of the country. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said a little sternly: "All civil and military officials, military officers and soldiers, and those who have escaped from the battle, behead!" ”

"Those who disobey the order will be killed!"

"Cowardly and non-combatant, slash!"

The three commands full of killing aura made everyone tremble, especially Shi Heng, who fled back alone, and a dense cold sweat suddenly appeared on his face.

He knew that the emperor didn't look down on him at all, if it weren't for Yu Qian's repeated pleas, and the serious lack of military attachés in the court today. Otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been dismissed from office and imprisoned, how could he still stand in this court with an important position.

Not looking at the faces of some people who became a little embarrassed, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and shouted with a resolute gaze: "From today on, I will live and die with the capital." I don't repel the army for a day, and I don't leave the Fengtian Temple for a day. ”

"I won't go home until we win." Wenchen also expressed his position one after another.

"Swear to defend the capital to the death." The generals shouted.

At this moment, we are united.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian and others had already discussed the commanders of each city gate, the specific operational details, and the arrangement of troops.

Looking at the generals standing solemnly on the left and right, Yu Qian nodded, but the expression on his face was unusually heavy, and he said:

"Also lead the army to come first, the arrogance is already very arrogant, if you can't stick to it, it will only fuel their arrogance, I have been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the former Emperor Taizu was born in cloth, and he can still dominate the world, sweep the tyrannical yuan, how can I be afraid of the little Wara!"

He looked around at the crowd, paused, and gave his first command:

"The meaning of the headquarters, all the garrison armies of the Beijing Division have all opened out of the nine gates and lined up to meet the enemy! Main battle. ”

Taking offense as defense, avoiding passivity, and controlling the initiative on the battlefield is indeed a wonderful move. Zhu Qiyu nodded secretly. Although he does not understand the war of workers' generation, he also knows the advantages of grasping the initiative on the battlefield.

All the generals were silent, and at the same time they were terrified in their hearts, the blood that led to the boiling made them feel the excitement they had not felt for a long time, that was the desire for war, the desire for killing.

Very satisfied with everyone's reaction, Yu Qian then issued his second order: "The nine gates are the gates of the Beijing Division, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

This article is dedicated to the gatekeepers, some people dare to work without contribution, and those who violate the yin and yang will be killed, and even implicate a family.

All the generals who had been assigned to guard the city gates were shocked. They would never have thought that Yu Qian, who seemed to be gentle and approachable on weekdays, would be so strict in cold storage, and his military rule of law was harsh, which was simply unheard of, and even some decisive and ruthless generals felt a chill.

"The official is naturally also in the column, and if the Desheng Gate is lost, it will also be the time when the official dies."

Ignoring the strange gazes of the generals of the congregation, he paused slightly, and his whole body seemed to be steaming with a murderous aura in his body: "All the soldiers who defend the city will kill the enemy bravely, and as soon as the battle begins, it will be the time to fight to the death." In addition to the military orders ordered by the emperor, this official also has several military orders: "When you are in battle, you will be killed immediately if you retreat first regardless of the army!" ”

"When the battle is in battle, the army will not care about those who will retreat first, and the rear team will cut the front team!"

"Those who dare to disobey military orders will be killed!"

This is the famous military battle method in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty have adopted this military method since then.

Hearing this murderous military order, everyone seemed to be a little unaware of this Yu Qian who was talking.

Just a month ago, he was a scholar who had never commanded a war, an elegant civil official, a scholar who spoke softly and always maintained a calm expression on his face.

However, at this moment, Yu Qian is still calm and calm, but he seems to have changed into a different person, iron-blooded and ruthless, and disciplined.

At this moment, he has become a determined, decisive and stern qualified battlefield military commander.

In the cruel battlefield, the weak cannot survive, only the strongest and resolute strong can survive and win the final victory.

Although the generals were shocked by the strictness of Qian's military orders, they were also happy in their hearts. The army is a place where the strong survive, and the more stern and resolute the general, the more he can achieve the recognition of the general.

Undoubtedly, at this time, Yu Qian had completely won the approval of all the generals present just by virtue of his personal charm and momentum, and he willingly obeyed his command.

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with everyone's performance, especially Yu Qian, if he hadn't known it a long time ago, no one would have believed that Yu Qian's performance would be so good, he was simply a natural military commander.

Yu Qian was also very satisfied, he knew that he had completely convinced everyone, and convinced all the generals, and was more confident in the next battle.

The estrangement between the generals and the commanders will inevitably lead to various problems, and it is also the key to victory or defeat in the war. Therefore, if you want to make all generals like an arm, in addition to putting yourself in the most dangerous position, military orders with clear rewards and punishments are naturally essential.

Everything is progressing in the direction he imagined

、、、、、、

Secretly relieved, Yu Qian looked at his deputy, Wu Ning, the squire of the military department, and gave his last order: "On the day of the start of the army, after the generals lead the army out of the city, immediately close the nine gates, and those who dare to enter the city without permission will be beheaded!" ”

Hearing this order, even Shi Heng, a military general who kills people without blinking, was shocked, which no one knows what it means.

In this battle, those who go out of the city can only fight to the death and retreat from the enemy, so that they can survive. If you can't win, you have no way to retreat, and you will definitely die.

This is really out of the way!

Putting it to death and then being born, although the preparations for Daming's side have been done to the extreme, to be honest, no one has the bottom in their hearts, and the consequences of not being so ruined are unpredictable.

All the ministers of civil and military affairs looked at Yu Qian in surprise, and they realized that Yu Qian was preparing to play with his life this time. But play with his own life, and everyone's life.

Of course, at this time, there is still a glimmer of life in playing with life, and if you don't play with your life, you will really die.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu spoke, his face was cold and resolute, looking at the Chinese military officials, and said: "Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, the emperor was captured, the enemy soldiers were in the city, the country has reached such a situation, is there any concern?" ”

"If this battle fails, the Ming Dynasty will follow the mistakes of the former Song Dynasty, what face do we have to see the people of the world?

For the country and the nation, for the country, for the people of the Ming Dynasty, for our parents, wives and children, fight to the death, only at this time! ”

This is a war that cannot be lost, if it fails, half of the northern Ming Dynasty will inevitably be lost, and the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty will also change from now on, just like the two Song Dynasty.

In this war, Zhu Qiyu can't afford to lose, and Daming can't afford to lose either.

"Win or die!" Yu Qian saluted Zhu Qiyu solemnly, generous and heroic.

"Win or die!" All the civil and military people shouted, and there was a somewhat crazy look in their eyes.

、、、、、、

At the speed of the Wara cavalry, it took less than a day to get from Bauhinia Pass to the capital. At dawn the next day, the vanguard of the Warat army had already arrived outside the capital.

However, to the surprise of the enemy's vanguard general, the defenders of the Ming Jing Division did not panic because of the arrival of the Wara army, and they were greeted by the Ming army with neat appearance, clear swords and armor, and a strict battle.

The vanguard general originally had a fluke mentality, thinking that the Ming Dynasty had a new defeat, and when he learned that the Wara army should be like a frightened bird after all, he also took the opportunity to cut off more heads of Ming soldiers, and even captured a city gate to get the greatest credit, so he could strive to get the title of this pioneer according to reason.

The result made him very annoyed, with the huge and sturdy size of the Ming Jing Division, it was not easy for the most elite troops to take it.

Now that the Ming army is neat, it is not comparable to ordinary second-rate troops, and there is little chance of reaping benefits, and it may even suffer a big loss.

The pioneer general spat at fiercely, and unwillingly ordered the camp to be repaired.

As early as when the vanguard of Warat had just rushed to Jingshi, Yu Qian, Shi Heng and others took the lead in leaving the city and led the army to be stationed outside Desheng Gate.

In addition, the army led by the governor Sun Bo was also stationed in the west of the capital. The defenders of the other gates also left the city at the same time, camped behind the city, and waited for the arrival of the great battle!

The general is on the front line, which brings great courage to the soldiers. Therefore, the morale of the army was greatly boosted and the fighting spirit was high.

Therefore, when he first led the main army to arrive in Beijing, he was also taken aback when he saw the army. What he didn't expect was that less than two months after the fiasco at Tumubao, the Ming army not only recovered in numbers, but also in morale.

At first, the vanguard didn't believe the report of the Ming army, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, his original conceited mentality has gradually calmed down.

Although the Ming Dynasty has a defeat, it is still not to be underestimated.

Looking at the Ming army that was waiting for him, he also nodded secretly.

The defeat of Tumubao does not mean how high the military command ability of the first is, nor does it mean that the Wara army is strong, and the army is not good. Instead, due to improper command, the high-level management was full of mistakes before they were able to get the opportunity first, so as to succeed in one blow.

Now, we have to face up to the empire that once disintegrated the entire Mongol Empire.

The original plan was to lead the army to attack the Ming Dynasty under the banner of escorting the Ming Emperor back to Beijing, which was a very legitimate and reasonable reason.

However, now it seems that Da Ming does not seem to buy it, and even has the determination to fight to the death.

This made it a headache for the first time, and it was clear that the Ming Dynasty did not want to negotiate with him, and he would not even adopt passive defensive tactics, because the Ming army all drove out of the city and camped behind the city, and it seemed that he knew that he was going to fight to the death with himself outside the city!
