Chapter 1216: Sound East Strikes West

Due to the changes in the grassland and the sudden outbreak of war, even the mutual market in Daning City was affected. There is chaos outside, and the herdsmen will not leave the tribe easily. Some of the merchants in the mutual market returned to Xuanfu, and some entered Daning City.

Tian Shiyuan was ordered to guard Daning City, but at first he didn't think there would be a war, but he didn't let his guard down. When he felt a slight tremor on the ground, Tian Shiyuan immediately showed a look of shock.

This is the cavalry of the brigade coming, but although the Governor has been away with his troops for a while, he should not have come back so soon, right?

Tian Shiyuan didn't expect that Dayan Khan would lead his troops to attack Daning, after all, he thought that Dayan Khan had already gone to crusade against the Yibula tribe.

The gate of Daning City was slammed shut, and the musketeers rushed up the city wall with their muskets, Tian Shiyuan looked at it from a distance, and the iron hooves were rolling in smoke and dust, this was definitely not the army of the governor!

Tian Shiyuan suspected for a moment that this was the cavalry of Fuyuwei and Tainingwei, but he quickly denied this idea. Not to mention that Fuyuwei and Tainingwei have already surrendered, and sent troops to go out with the adults, the current Fuyuwei and Tainingwei can't gather so many cavalry at all.

So, it must be Tatar! It must have been Dayan Khan who came to Daning City with his cavalry! Tian Shiyuan's heart was shocked when he thought of this, although Dayan Khan was beaten by the governor under the city of Xuanfu, but Tian Shiyuan did not underestimate Dayan Khan and Tatar.

At the beginning, their Xuanfu border army has always been helpless against the Tatar cavalry, even if Dayan Khan was easily beaten by the governor and fled, but Dayan Khan is still the Great Khan of the steppe!

At this time, Tian Shiyuan had musketeers in his hands and a large group of cavalry, but Tian Shiyuan pondered for a while, and after all, he still did not dare to choose to go out of the city to fight in the field like the governor.

Although the cavalry led by Dayan Khan is far less than the time of the Battle of Xuanfu, and the musketeers and cavalry in Tian Shiyuan's hands have also experienced the test of the Battle of Xuanfu, and their combat power has reached a higher level, but Tian Shiyuan still does not have the courage of the Governor after all.

Then defend the city! With the musketeers in his hands and the dense artillery on the city wall, even if the cavalry led by Dayan Khan doubled, he would not be able to break through Daning City. Tian Shiyuan swept the artillery on the city wall, even though he had seen it many times, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and a feeling of pity for Dayan Khan was born in his heart.

Zhang Zhijie led the army to meet with the army of Agoura, and this time the Yebula tribe also fought against the attack of Dayan Khan, they gathered 10,000 cavalry, and almost all the men in the tribe were gathered, including teenage children, and old people who could still mount horses.

Agoura was extremely excited about Zhang Zhijie's arrival, and was extremely respectful to Zhang Zhijie's famous Xuanda Governor of the grassland. However, Zhang Zhijie and Agoura, who were bent on fighting, never heard of Dayan Khan's army.

After denying the possibility of Dayan Khan's army taking the rest of the path, Agoura became more and more confused. After all, in the news they received, Dayan Khan had gathered cavalry, and according to the time, Dayan Khan's cavalry should also come. After all, it was impossible for Dayan Khan to keep the gathered cavalry in the Khan's court, and tens of thousands of horsemen eating horses was a great burden.

Zhang Zhijie fell into deep thought, a bright light crossed his mind, and a thought came to him, Dayan Khan wouldn't know the news that he was going to send troops, so he took the opportunity to attack Daning City, right?

The more he thought about this possibility, Dayan Khan must have thought that Daning City was empty, and that the Ming Dynasty had an unstable foothold in Daning City, and felt that this was a good time to capture Daning City.

Zhang Zhijie told Agula his judgment, and Agula was also a figure, otherwise he would not dare to lead his people to kill Dayan Khan's son, and make a decision to defect to the Ming Dynasty.

"What the Governor said is reasonable, Dayan Khan is likely to really take the opportunity to attack Daning City!" Agoura spoke with a hint of apology and concern.

Zhang Zhijie laughed and said: "Dayan Khan has grown, and he has even learned to sound and attack the west, but he thought he was looking for a soft persimmon to pinch, but he didn't know that the soft persimmon could also break his teeth!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhijie did not have any worried look, Agoura was immediately relieved, it seemed that the Governor was very relieved about the defense of Daning City.

In fact, Zhang Zhijie was not without worries in his heart, if Tian Shiyuan chose to defend the city, it would be absolutely impossible for Dayan Khan to break through Daning City, and he would suffer a big loss, if Tian Shiyuan chose to go out of the city to fight like him, it would not be necessarily.

In fact, Zhang Zhijie also had some contradictions in his heart, hoping that Tian Shiyuan would defend the city, and also hoping that Tian Shiyuan would dare to go out of the city to fight, after all, Zhang Zhijie could not stay in the border town for too long, and he hoped that the generals in the border town could also grow up.

"Since Dayan Khan did not attack the Nor the Clan, but chose to attack Daning City, then the Governor will lead his troops back to Daning City!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

Agoura was not surprised when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Governor led the army to help, but now Dayan Khan has taken the opportunity to attack Daning City, please allow me to lead the warriors of the Yibula clan to help Daning City with your Excellency!" ”

Zhang Zhijie laughed when he heard this, although it was enough with the troops in his hands and the defenders of Daning City, but Zhang Zhijie was still very relieved that Agora could have this heart.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Taiji can lead the warriors in the clan to help, this governor is very welcome, it's better to be like this, the tribe still needs to be guarded, Taiji led three thousand warriors to Daning with the governor, and after defeating Dayan Khan, just invite Taiji to Daning City as a guest!" ”

Agoura was also a little worried about the tribe in his heart, and when he heard that Zhang Zhijie had arranged it so safely, he immediately agreed. Agoura selected 3,000 brave cavalry, let the rest of the soldiers and horses return to the tribe, and he led the cavalry to gallop to Daning City with Zhang Zhijie's army.

Dayan Khan led the army to approach the city of Daning, the gate of the city was closed, and there was no Ming army under the city. Dayan Khan was not surprised when he saw this, which showed that Daning City was really empty of troops, and Zhang Zhijie was really not in Daning City.

Zhang Zhijie likes to lead the army out of the city to fight, so the Mongolian cavalry of Dayan Khan was afraid of fighting with the Ming army.

Dayan Khan's heart was relieved, he raised his horsewhip and pointed ahead and said with a smile: "Have you seen it?" There is no Ming army formation under Daning City! What does this mean? ”

This shows that Zhang Zhijie's gang is not in Daning, and Zhang Zhijie has already led his musketeers to help the Yibu tribe! Without Zhang Zhijie and his musketeers, what else do we have to fear? Follow Ben Khan to break through Daning City! ”
