When Dayun woke up again, it was already sunset.

When he opened his eyes, Dayun saw the familiar decorations and furnishings, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he recognized it, this is the Datong General Military Mansion, since he is still in the General Military Mansion, then there is only one result.

Datong is defending!

"The master is awake?!"

There was a "clang" sound in his ears, it was the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground, and Dayun looked up, but saw that it was his entourage Dafu.

"Great, the master has finally woken up......"

Before he could react, Dayun saw the old servant who had followed him for many years pounce on the couch and cried bitterly.

"Don't cry, the old man is not dead yet! Dafoe, tell the old man quickly, what is the situation outside the city now? Can the Tatars retreat? ”

Listening to Da Fu's cry, Da Yun was faintly dizzy, and quickly shook his head lightly and asked.

"Don't worry, sir, the barbarians outside have retreated, Dafoe heard General Wang Guodong say that with this lesson, they won't dare to attack the city indiscriminately for a while!"

Dafoe wiped his eyes haphazardly and replied.

"Tell me more!"

Da Yun suddenly came to his senses, felt that his head didn't hurt so much, and looked at Da Fu with bright eyes, his memory only stayed in Li Rusong leading his troops out of the city to rescue him, and then he fell into a coma inexplicably, but he didn't know much about what happened next.

It was obvious that Li Rusong was a reinforcement sent by the imperial court, but Dayun was still very confused.

Even though the imperial court has a large army to help, Tumut is not a vegetarian, or that sentence, in the vast grassland, the cavalry occupies an absolute advantage.

With the arrival of a large number of reinforcements, it will not be easy to successfully defend the city.

But after Dayun woke up, he found a calm scene in the General Soldier's Mansion, you know, since the start of the war, the General Soldier's Mansion has maintained a high degree of combat readiness, and the sound of the collision of the armor on the soldiers' bodies can be heard almost anytime and anywhere, but now it is very quiet, which can only be explained by one reason, that is, the Ming Dynasty successfully defended Datong, and should not suffer too many casualties.

As soon as he thought of this, Dayun had to wonder what kind of tactics could make Tumut's 30,000 army return!

Dafu was rescued by Dayun on the battlefield in the early years, and after recovering from his injuries, he followed the left and right to serve, he was an old servant in the house, and he was Dayun's personal soldier during the war, but that day Dayun had the will to die, so he did not let Dafu go out of the city with him, but let him stay in the city, and fortunately, someone could bring the news of his death back to his home in the capital, so Dafu also knew a lot about the scene of that day.

"Yes, the lord led the troops out of the city to meet the enemy that day......"

With Da Fu's narration, Da Yun slowly had a preliminary outline of the battle situation that day.

On that day, with the hope of an eventuality, he went out of the city to attack and kill Tumut Khan Pullik, but unexpectedly was surrounded, and when it was difficult to escape, he ushered in the rescue of the imperial army.

This time, the imperial court sent troops, the main general was Ma Gui, and the deputy general was Li Rusong, both of whom were famous fierce generals.

At that time, it was the deputy general Li Rusong who went out of the city to rescue him!

According to Dafoe, he was in the city and saw that Dayun was about to be stabbed in the heart by the enemy general's scimitar, and Tayun apparently gave up resistance, hoping to take the other party away.

Unexpectedly, it was too late and that it was fast, but Li Rusong, who was still a few feet away from them, casually took out a black short stick-like thing from the bag next to him and shook it hard.

The short stick landed in the middle of the two before they could meet each other, and in an instant the flames soared into the sky, and both Dayun and the enemy's Ulizak were swept out by a wave of qi, and fell far away.

Dayun was unconscious at the time, and his body was covered in burn marks, but fortunately, he still survived!

And now, since the day of the Tatar siege, Dayun has been in a coma for almost seven days!

As for the future, Li Rusong rode forward, rolled the unconscious Dayun onto his horse, and returned to the city smoothly with the rest of the soldiers......

"Short sticks? Is there a physical object? Show it to the old man! ”

Da Yun frowned, carefully recalling the situation, as if he did catch a glimpse of an inch-long stick-like thing flying behind him out of the corner of his eye, but before he could see what it was, he was rushed under the horse, and he couldn't remember anything.

"Master, it is said that this thing is a forbidden item in the army, only in the Shenji Battalion, even if it is in the hands of General Li, there are only a few pieces, Dafu is incompetent, but he has never touched this thing!"

"Divine Machine Battalion?"

Dayun took a breath, feeling that his brain was getting more and more unable to keep up.

If he remembers correctly, there is only one army named the Shenji Battalion in the Ming Dynasty, and that is the Son of Heaven's pro-army stationed in the Beijing Division, three major battalions!

Could it be that the Son of Heaven is personally recruiting?

"Yes, sir, it is said that this time the Tatars came to attack, His Majesty was extremely angry, and sent the Shenji Battalion to quell the chaos together!"

Dafoe swallowed his saliva and said cautiously.

"Well, you go on, what about later? Did Tumut withdraw? ”

Dayun then relieved himself and asked.

"After General Li returned to the city, although the Tatars suffered a contusion, they did not stop the siege, but continued to advance, but this time by His Majesty's encouragement, General Ma brought several red-coated cannons, these cannons are said to have been improved by someone in the capital, and the usual cannons are different, not only the range is farther, but also the power is greater, and more importantly, even the distance can be adjusted, far can hit four or five miles, close can hit a mile away! It is said that General Ma arrived so late because of these red-coated cannons......"

Speaking of this, Dafoe couldn't help but be a little excited, in the final analysis, he had also experienced battlefield fighting, and the blood in his heart was not yet cold.

At that time, the Tatar army was still two or three miles away from the city gate, and General Ma immediately ordered several red-coated cannons to be fired in unison, and the shells were filled in as if they were dead, and the shields of the Mongols had no effect at all, and the shells fell in the pile, each of which could kill many people, and even blew up their two siege towers and four trebuchets! Frightened, the Mongols did not dare to advance any longer, and hurriedly retreated, not daring to harass them again for several days......"

If you talk about cavalry warfare, the Ming Dynasty can't beat the Tatars, but if you talk about defending the city, as long as there are enough troops, the Tatars will be difficult to attack.

Dayun himself had not used a redcoat cannon during the war, but he had heard of it for a long time.

It is said that during the war of the Japanese kingdom at that time, Li Rusong relied on this thing to build forts everywhere, gradually compressing the survival space of the Japanese army, and won the battle with endless artillery fire.

Could it be that this time, it is the same tactic?

"Where is General Ma now? Take the old man to meet him! ”

Suppressing all the doubts in his heart, Dayun spoke.

Ma Gui is not in the General Military Mansion, he brought a total of 50,000 troops this time, plus the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, there are nearly 70,000 people, and there are many troops who are constantly rushing towards this side.

These people are all stationed outside the city, and Ma Gui has also set up his Chinese army tent outside!

To be honest, even Ma Gui didn't expect that the power of the red-clothed cannon brought over this time would be so huge, you know, these bulky big guys seriously delayed the speed of his march, so much so that Ma Gui wanted to leave them behind and gallop to the aid of Datong himself.

However, the effect of these cannons is also remarkable, at least for so many days, the Tatars did not dare to invade Datong again......

"With this thing, it won't be a problem to defend the city!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Gui looked at the sand table in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

It's not that he boasted, this time, the emperor gave him almost unlimited supplies, just the cannonballs, there were thousands, and this is only the first batch of weapons, and they will continue to be transported in the future.

This is also where the confidence of Magui's extravagance lies.

Especially according to Zhao Shizhen, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, this time the red-clothed cannon has been improved, and the firepower can cover a distance of nearly a mile, as long as the shells are enough, Ma Gui is confident that this distance will become a dead land!

Any enemy who dares to step within this mile will be bombarded with endless artillery fire!

After a while, Ma Gui shook his head with some regret and said.

"It's a pity that this thing is too bulky to be used in field battles, otherwise, I would be afraid of just Tatar cavalry?"

On the contrary, Li Rusong, who was on the side, frowned tightly, and spoke after a while.

"Don't be too happy too early, with the red-coated cannons, it is indeed not a problem to defend the city, but we can see this, and the other party must be able to see it, if the Tatars are afraid because of this, and withdraw from the army......"

Ma Gui's face suddenly fell, and he looked bitter.

How did he forget that!

At that time, the situation was urgent, and Ma Gui only cared about dealing with the situation in front of him, and pulled all the red-clothed cannons he brought to the city wall, which really hindered the footsteps of the Tatars.

It is conservatively estimated that in this round of artillery bombardment, the Tatar losses were at least more than a thousand people!

There are even quite a few of them who are unprepared elite cavalry!

The results were great, but it would be terrible if the Tatars were to be afraid and retreat......

You must know that the order they received is not to hold Datong, but the two of them have sworn in front of the emperor that they will hang the Tatar army for at least a month, after all, this majesty does not just want to repel the Tatars, what he wants is to give these people a memory, so that they will never dare to invade the Ming Dynasty again!

But now, the main cavalry reinforcements promised by the Son of Heaven have not arrived, but Ma Gui has put out the cannons first, if the Tatars really retreat because of this, he really wants to cry without tears......

"My lord, there are Tatar nobles outside the city, please see me!"

At this moment, someone suddenly came in from outside the tent to report.

Ma Gui faintly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and glanced at Li Rusong, they wouldn't be so crow-mouthed, right?

"Please come in!"

In any case, it has been a tradition in China since ancient times that the two armies do not fight each other, and since someone came to ask for it, Ma Gui could not fail to see it, so he had to suppress the worries in his heart, turn around and return to the main tent and sit down.

After a while, a middle-aged man with all kinds of jewels came in from outside the tent, walked into the big tent, stroked his chest with both hands and performed a Tatar etiquette, and spoke fluent Chinese.

"Under the tent of King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, Agula has seen General Magui! Our king sent Agoura here to greet the Ming Emperor on his behalf! ”

"King Shunyi?"

Ma Gui's heart sank, and as expected, the situation he was worried about still happened.

This Shunyi King is the title given by the Ming Dynasty to the leader of Tumut, and from the moment he raised his army, it was equivalent to automatically giving up this title and no longer admitting that he was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but now, his envoys have picked up this title again, and the meaning of the representation is self-evident.

With a sneer, Ma Gui said mockingly.

"Tumut is good at provoking me, offending my Datong, and killing my Ming general, where does he think he is the Shunyi king of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Dear General, please don't be angry! This is all a misunderstanding, Tumut has no trace of disrespect for the Ming Dynasty, this time the troops, but the Great Khan rebelled, they held the three ladies hostage, imprisoned the Great Khan, and killed the generals of the Ming Dynasty without authorization, the Great Khan is also deeply saddened by this, and now the Great Khan has set things right, has killed the rebellious courtiers, hoping to return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, and also asked the general to show the loyalty of my king to His Majesty the Ming Emperor, my king is willing to withdraw immediately, in order to show his sincerity! ”

However, this envoy obviously couldn't detect the worries in Ma Gui's heart, and he said sincerely according to the words discussed in advance, sincerely hoping that the general in front of him could believe him.

But what he didn't know was that his words made Ma Gui's face twitch fiercely, he was really afraid of something, why was this little khan of Tumut so guts?

A few red-clothed cannons were so frightened that he just ran away, and even took the initiative to send an envoy to sue for peace?

Ma Gui can already imagine that if this news is transmitted back to Jingshi, it will be strange that His Majesty the Emperor of theirs doesn't screw his head off!

"Stand down! This matter will be consulted by the imperial court, and you will be answered in two days! ”

Rubbing his forehead, Ma Gui waved his hand, and couldn't help but say that he had escorted the envoy out like a fly......

"General, how can this be? Do you really want to report this matter to the imperial court? ”

As soon as the envoy left, Li Rusong frowned and asked.

"The newspaper must be reported, but before the report, we still need to ask for someone's opinion! Perhaps, he will have a way......"

Ma Gui sighed and said.

At this point, the matter has been somewhat out of his control, and it is a major matter that the special envoy of Tumo came to negotiate peace, so great that he has no power to decide, as usual he must urgently report to the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven will decide the matter!

But there is no need to report to the court, Ma Gui has almost guessed the outcome of this matter, those bosses in the court do not advocate war, this time Tumut took the initiative to negotiate peace, how can they disagree......

It's a pity that he was too anxious at the beginning, and directly put out a few red-clothed cannons, which scared the little khan of Tumut out of his guts.

But fortunately, Ma Gui's mind is not completely confused, and at this moment, he can still think of one last way.

"Oh, who is this man?"

Li Rusong's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.

"Admiral Liang!"
