After Chahar defeated the Tumut East Outpost Division, the tentacles have stretched under the border wall of the Ming State - Chahar won a complete victory in the East Outpost, the Taiji and Nuoyan of the East Outpost died and fled, and a large number of troops were absorbed by the Chahar Ministries, and for a time Chahar gathered tens of thousands of people outside the border wall of the Ming Kingdom, Guiying just couldn't hold it, he felt that his waist was stiff, and he took the Konott cavalry and his subordinates to show off their might under the Great Wall, and the Ming army knew that it was invincible, and honestly hid on the side wall and let it go back and forth.

Gui Yingcha was dizzy, and saw the Ming army cowering in the city, so he was even more unscrupulous, and learned that Chahar Khan's envoy was driven out by the Ming State government, he felt that he had sworn an oath with the Ming State on behalf of Chahar, and at this time he must stand up and evaluate the Ming State, so he led the troops to rush to Xinping Fort, turned over the old accounts and insulted the Ming army on the side wall, and threatened to go to see the Xuanda Governor of the Ming State in person, and he must evaluate with this Ming State official, if he is not allowed to enter the customs, then he will lead the troops to attack the city, Gui Yingcha did what he said, Commanding the people to begin to prepare ladders and soil bags, which frightened Fang Zhikun, the general of Xinpingbao, he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, and he was also afraid of the Chahar people attacking the city, Fang Zhikun had to come forward in the city to appease Gui Yingcha, Gui Yingcha was also a bad person, seeing the officers of the Ming State come forward to appease, he thought that the Ming army had confessed, not only forced Fang Zhikun to inform the Governor of Xuanda that Gui Yingqi was going to come to ask for an explanation, and asked to enter the fort city to rest and eat, of course Fang Zhikun did not dare to report to the governor, but he still had a ghost idea, After twisting and pinching for a while, it was agreed that Gui Yingcha would take a few followers into the fort to rest, and wait for the governor to summon him, Gui Yingcha was really lacking in heart, and he dared to take dozens of followers into the urn city of Xinping Fort.

Fang Zhikun is really warm-hearted, in Weng City prepared tea and food for Gui Yingqia, and also prepared forage for the horses, Gui Yingqia, a turtle who did not know how to die, thought that the Ming army officer was frightened by him, and sat comfortably under the pergola to eat and drink, Gui Yingcha enjoyed happiness in the fort, and the Konott cavalry outside the fort was thirsty and hungry, and suddenly four or five hundred people poured into the urn city, and asked the Ming army in the city to eat and drink, Fang Zhikun agreed with a smile and agreed one by one, and immediately went to prepare.

Fang Zhikun laughed as soon as he turned his face, and waved his hand to the officers under him, and the Ming army that had already been prepared immediately rushed to the city wall of the urn city with bows and arrows and firearms, and the jack gate on the gate also slowly fell, and the Chahar soldiers were stupidly waiting for the Ming army to send them water and food, and when they realized that something was wrong, it was too late, only a dozen eyes and legs rushed out of Xinping Fort before the gate fell, and Gui Yingcha and his Konott cavalry were almost trapped in the urn city.

What followed was a massacre, under the rain of arrows from the Ming army, the Chahar people fell one after another, Gui Yingcha was furious, and the shameless Ming people used such despicable means to plot against him.

"Shameless Ming dogs, the Chahar people will never let you go, children, shoot these Ming dogs." Guiyingcha roared loudly, and the Chahar people who were facing a desperate situation took off their bows and arrows one after another, and braved the rain of arrows to bravely return fire at the Ming army, "Kill the Ming dog!" "Kill Minggou!" The shouts were incessant, and people kept falling, and people kept rushing forward to continue the fight.

Gui Yingcha brandished his sword and commanded his subordinates to return fire with bows and arrows, but this counterattack was meaningless, the Ming army, which was outnumbered and occupied a favorable position, laughed and mercilessly poured a rain of arrows on the prey that had nowhere to hide, and the small cannons and firearms of the Ming army also continued to hit the opponent, and the Chahar people were shot to the ground one after another, Gui Yingcha was full of arrows, and he still waved his knife and cursed angrily.

"Minggou, you will be punished." Gui Yingcha was covered in blood, and his sword was half kneeling on the ground, and he was still roaring angrily until a cannon beat him to the ground.

Fang Zhikun and his officers looked at the corpses all over the ground in the urn city, and they all smiled happily, and Sun Shoubei said excitedly: "My lord, don't shoot, this is hundreds of heads, don't let the sons and daughters shoot badly." ”

"Good job, sons, won a big victory today, and sent these barbarian poor ghosts back to their hometown," Fang Zhikun suddenly remembered something, and ordered his subordinates, "Burn down the Guandi Temple in the fort, you go back and tell the sons and daughters that today is a barbarian who broke through the pass and destroyed the temple and looted, and was killed by my officers and soldiers guarding the fort, and no one is allowed to talk nonsense." ”

Fang Zhikun's "good news" spread to Yanghe and Datong at the fastest speed, and Zhang Xiao, the governor of Xuanda, read the battle report and nodded with satisfaction: "This Fang Zhikun is still a little capable, he beheaded more than 400 levels, it shouldn't be a false report of his military exploits, hey, dedication, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Boss, let's prepare for a war, the front line of Xuanda will be ignited soon," Song Tongyin trembled with anger, and he roared with a crying voice, "Damn Fang Zhikun, you are greedy for merit and provocation, and you are good at starting wars, how many people will ruin and displace your family, my lord, we will destroy Fang Zhikun, this bastard." ”

Zhang Xiao suddenly realized that what he was most afraid of was about to come, and he was likely to do it to the head of this Xuanda Governor, Zhang Xiao staggered to his feet, pointed at Song Tongyin with a trembling finger and shouted: "Order the three towns of Xuanda to prepare for war immediately, and also, arrest that Fang Shikun for me immediately." ”

Datong, Zhang Yiming's brain exploded as soon as he saw the battle report, he threw the war report into Qu Jiazhen's face, and roared angrily: "Qu Jiazhen, this is your person, this official was killed by you, if you don't go to prepare for the war quickly, the Han will be attacked." ”

"Money! Grain! My lord, if you don't have food, you won't fight the general. Qu Jiazhen, who was pale, was so anxious that his eyes were red.

"Then you're going to go to prison with this official!" Zhang Yiming replied with a sneer, he pointed his hand outside the door and shouted, "Get out!" ”

"Guiying was booby-trapped by the shameless Ming people", the news quickly spread throughout the Chahar departments outside the Xuanda border, the Chahar people were angry, and the Tumut people and Yongshaobu people who had just been incorporated were also angry, and the Ming Kingdom, which has always prided itself on being a **** country and a state of etiquette, actually did such a despicable and obscene thing, they didn't treat us as human beings at all, in their eyes we are all barbarians who can be killed at will, since this is the case, then fight. Gui Yingcha's wife Wu Langha did not shed half a tear for her dead ghost husband, but angrily erected a banner to ask Ming Guo to repay the blood debt, her actions immediately received a positive response from all ministries, even Wu Langha herself did not expect that her husband who had always been annoying suddenly became popular, and the Chahar departments sent troops to help, Gui Yingcha's sworn enemy Garma Jinong also came, Wu Langha gathered more than 40,000 people in two days, and the angry Chahar people did not wait for the order of the Great Khan, and the murderous spirit rushed to the side wall, Outside the border wall from Xinping Fort to Fort Victory, there are Chahars wearing red tasseled hats and sheepskin jackets.

The situation on the side of the Ming army is not good, the soldiers see that the momentum is not right, they may really want to fight, what they think of is not the upper wall to resist the enemy, but to do everything possible to find an opportunity to run away, even the honest and obedient Shoukouyi people don't want this job to earn money to eat, and they are all right - this year the Ming Dynasty is a fart, and the official himself caused trouble and carried it himself, Lao Tzu can't even eat enough when he is a soldier, why should he give his life to the bullshit court, or take care of himself. When the soldier ran away, the official was not stupid, the general of Xinping Fort Fang Zhikun soon felt that he was in trouble, first hid in the fort, and when he heard that the governor's palace and the governor's yamen sent someone to settle accounts with him, he immediately abandoned the official and left, and even the shadow of the person was gone, the main general of Xinping Fort ran away, and the deputy general of Yanghe Dao had to go up hard, the deputy general was more knowledgeable than the general, and the Ming army couldn't pull up to fight at all, but Guanbao must not be lost, so it would be a lawsuit and lose his head, In this case, I just need to guard the fort, and I don't see the rest, and the most that happens is to be dismissed from office, which is better than losing my head.

After the Ming army pretended to shoot a few arrows on the side wall, they retreated back to their respective forts, which was safe, the Ming country did not have the ability to build forts but just liked to build forts, the fortress of the Great Wall was three feet and five feet high, and the city wall was covered with bluestone, so tall and strong fortress as long as there were enough people standing on the city wall, with the Mongols' ability to attack the city and those few broken ladders don't even want to come up.

The Mongols will not attack the city, but they will demolish the city, the Chahars have no interest in attacking Gaodaguan Fort, they search along the Great Wall, the relatively dilapidated city wall near Hongci Fort has become the target of their attack, tens of thousands of Chahar quickly came from everywhere, the Ming army who was on guard on the side wall casually shouted a few times and ran away, the Chahars occupied a few sections of the side wall, so the city and the city worked together, and jingled on the side wall - demolishing the city was the method that their ancestors taught them to deal with the Great Wall, Chahar people in their grandfather's generation is often doing this, as long as they can gather enough manpower, they will use this method to step across the Great Wall of Liaodong, Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong who was boasted as a famous general by the Ming State, will immediately hide to avoid the limelight when he sees this kind of battle, and when the Chahar people enter the customs and grab enough to go back, they will find an opportunity to sneak attack, cut off a few heads to report to the court, some of the people in the Ming court are bastards, usually do a good job, and someone will help you cover up if something happens, as for the dead and alive ghosts of the common people.

The side wall around Hongci Fort was demolished by the Chahar people, and the Ming army was very honestly hiding in the fort, and opened their eyes to see the Chahar people lighting a fire to do a lot of work, and the two sides did not disturb each other, the Chahar people did this experienced, the strong men dug up and down the side wall, and the old and weak women and children lined up in a long line to transport the demolished bricks and stones, and the mud was transported down the mountain.

At the end of May of the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the border wall of Datong Town, which had not been war-free for nearly 60 years, was easily stepped on by the Chahar people, and the first catastrophe of the Chongzhen Dynasty came.

When the Chahar people were furious, Zhao Ji who was grazing sheep on the east bank of the Yuma River was startled, and the mighty Chahar rushed over, he thought that the Chahar people were going to settle accounts with him, Zhao Ji didn't say a word, and ran away with the sheep and livestock, but fortunately he brought out all the horses and men, he and Terrig retreated across the Yuma River as soon as they slipped through the smoke, but found that the Chahar people did not chase them, but drove along the Yuma River in the direction of Fort Victory.

"What are they shouting about?" Zhao Ji stopped his horse, looked at the river, and asked Terige to the Chahar people who were shouting at them.

"It seems that the people who killed them shamelessly in the country are going to seek revenge on the Ming country, and they will ask us to go together." Terige listened for a moment and replied.

"They don't care about our, ignore him, we retreat to Barbarian Mountain, we can't stay in this place," Zhao Ji said angrily, and after a while he gloated and laughed, "There is a good show to watch now, there must be a dog official of the Ming Kingdom who is going to be unlucky." ”

"They deserve it, who makes them self-righteous." Terrig also smiled, Ming Guo has always been angry about the fact that Dong Seng will not be saved.

Tens of thousands of Chahar people entered the customs, and immediately stirred up the three towns of Xuanda into a big mess, the Chahar people have forgotten about the revenge for Guiyingcha, and the various tribes have become a piece of scattered sand, each looking for a target to loot, they are poor and crazy, they will rob what they see, and they will kill people if they don't let them rob, and the war will burn from the side wall to the Sanggan River, Datong, Yanghe, Huairen, and Hunyuan have all been destroyed - the Ming army is not strong, and what the local officials of the Ming Dynasty can do is to gather the young and strong to hold the city, and wait for rescue, The Chahar people, who lacked the skills to attack the city, wreaked havoc outside the city, and both sides fell into a chaotic situation, with no one to deploy in various parts of the Ming Kingdom and could only defend the city by themselves, and the Chahar tribes were scurrying around like headless flies.

This chaotic situation did not end until Chahar Khan arrived, he got the news of Gui Yingcha's death, and immediately set off from the old capital to the south, he understood that the battle with the Ming Kingdom was inevitable, but he did not expect his sister Wu Langha to break through the Great Wall so easily and enter the customs, Chahar Khan was surprised and delighted, the long-awaited moment finally came, he wanted to come to the city to threaten the Ming officials to reward, Altan Khan can besiege the Beijing Division, he can at least besiege Datong. Chahar Khan rushed to the side wall in one breath, and demolished the side wall near Zhenchuan Fort, forty or fifty thousand people swarmed in, and met with Wulangha in Gudian Village outside Datong City, Chahar Khan gave an order, nearly 100,000 Chahar people surrounded Datong City, Chahar Khan set up his own big tent in Haizitan more than ten miles away from the city, and looked for Ming Guo to discuss the law.

Zhang Yiming and Qu Jiazhen in Datong City are already ants on a hot pot, inserting Han soldiers into the city, they immediately asked Yang He for help, but Zhang Xiao had no soldiers to send, he replied that he was trying to raise food and salary, and requisitioned soldiers and horses from Xuanfu and Shanxi towns to come to the rescue, Zhang Xiao instructed them to defend Datong, Zhang Yiming and Qu Jiazhen were cold when they saw it, they knew what virtue the Ming army had, and they would never go on the road if they didn't see the money.

Originally, Datong City has been continuously repaired and strengthened by the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, the city is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the problem is that no one can be found to defend the city, there are still soldiers, but no one wants to go to the city without giving money, if you are forced to take off your livery and run away, there are a lot of rich border merchants in Datong City, but these guys are not pulling out a dime, and they are absolutely desperate, and they can do business in partnership, but we are asked to pay money to help your government defend the city, and not a big man will be given.

Desperate, Zhang Yiming and Qu Jiazhen rushed into the Dai Wang's Mansion in Datong City, knelt in front of the Dai Princess Yang and wept bitterly. After the death of the old king, the enthroned little king was young, and the head of the king's mansion was the mother of the king, the princess Yang, as soon as she spoke, the rich families in Datong City had to give some face, so they raised part of the military salary, and Qu Jiazhen had some money and finally pulled up 3,000 people on the Datong city wall.

Zhang Yiming and Qu Jiazhen took the Ming army to the city, and the Chahar people outside the city were coming in an endless stream, looking at the company camp for more than 100 miles from afar, the banner was waving loudly, and the Ming soldiers looked at the Chahar camp outside the city, and Zhang Yiming asked with a bitter face: "Qu Zongbing, can you still transfer some reinforcements from other places?" ”

"My lord, if there are no reinforcements, it would be good if all the roads and roads under the jurisdiction of Datong Town could hold their own defense areas, and no one would save us." Qu Jiazhen replied with a crying voice.

"Well, let's be loyal to the emperor here." Zhang Yiming sighed and said.

"My lord, maybe we still have a reinforcement," Qu Jiazhen suddenly said after a while, "Isn't that Li Dusi still more than 30,000 people outside the gate?" Can we ask him to help? ”

"You're confused, Li Dusi is full of Yi soldiers, more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, have you heard of a precedent for my dynasty to invite Yi soldiers into the customs?"

"My lord, when is this, besides, Li Dusi is my Ming officer, and that Li Juren is also sent by the Governor's Mansion to supervise military affairs, and his soldiers should also be regarded as my Ming soldiers, they eat our food and do our business, and they can't let them take advantage of it in vain."

Zhang Yiming hesitated, he paced for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you immediately send someone to ask them to send troops into the customs, so that these Tatars and the Han can fight against each other in Datong City, a group of barbarians, it is best to die, so as not to leave trouble." ”

Barbarian Mountain, Li Yu looked at the map on the table blankly, the officials of the Hongbatulu big tent looked at him without saying a word, everyone has been silent for a long time, they all know the situation of the Xinpingbao Change, even better than Yanghe and Datong know, the Shoukouyi people who were deserters told the truth of the matter, and then the scouts came with an urgent report, the Chahar people entered the customs, everyone was surprised, no one would have thought that the impregnable Ming border wall would be broken by the Chahars overnight, Now the question is what to do with the Barbarian Mountain, Yanghe and Datong will never let the Barbarian Mountain sit idly by all the time, and how to fight against the powerful Chahar people with the strength of the Barbarian Mountain? In addition, Chahar and the Ming Kingdom in the Guannei, if the war continues to make the place erosive, then the Ming Dynasty's assistance to the Barbarian Mountain will be unsustainable, if so, where should the Barbarian Mountain go? Also, is Daming reliable? Judging from what happened in Xinpingbao, the Ming army could trap and kill Gui Yingcha who went to ask for peace without faith, so how will the Ming State treat them in the future, they are still Tatars, Han Yi, and the Chahar people are still barbarians in the eyes of the Ming officials.
