Just when Zhu Zilong entered the palace overnight, he manipulated the emperor's clone to order all local armies to enter the king of Jingqin.

The show girls who are still on the road will return in place.

In a boundary after the Daming border pass, the sound of "Bangbang" kept sounding.

In the border pass, in the various forts of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers and soldiers in the fort trembled in unison, and looked in the direction of the sound and wolf smoke. But I saw that there were bunches of wolf smoke rising straight up, and they were so eye-catching in the sky.

An officer in the fort carefully counted the amount of wolf smoke, and said with a trembling mouth: "There are five cannon shots, five beams of beacon smoke, it seems that the large army of Tartars is coming, only less than 10,000 people." Finished! ”

For a while, the terrible sound of bangzi in various places was non-stop, and the soldiers and civilians outside were all in a hurry to rein in the people and animals, and desperately fled back to the nearest castle chimney.

Everyone in the fort had ugly faces, and suddenly someone shouted: "Look, the Tartars are coming!" ”

I saw that there were dozens of puffs of smoke and dust in the northwest direction, which became bigger and bigger, and then a burst of howling monsters like beasts came. In the smoke and dust, countless Houjin cavalry appeared in front of everyone's eyes, roaring into the sky.

However, when these Qing troops passed by the small side pier, they did not stop looting, which may be inconspicuous. It's just that he couldn't stop showing off his might, pointing and making fun of the pier loudly, and then rushed all the way into the hinterland of Daming.

The Ming soldiers and military households in the fort looked at each other, all of them pale. But no one had the courage to go out of the fort to fight with the Qing army.

After entering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the tens of thousands of Qing troops were divided into several units, or an army of several thousand, or a team of 10,000 people, or a small team of hundreds of people, and rushed to various places and began to rob.

A large force of the Qing army was led by Azig, the king of Wuying County of the Qing Dynasty, and the king of Qiaole Abatai and Yanguli.

After conquering the monolithic pass, carving crow fort, and Chang'anling forts, he stopped in Yanqing Prefecture in front of Juyong Pass through the territory of Baowei.

For a time, the security guards of Xuanfu Town East Road in Daming, Huailaiwei, Yanqing Prefecture, Yongningwei and other places were full of flames, like hell. Stuck in trouble!

Martial law begins in the Kyoshi!

The Ministry of War urgently consulted the governor of Datong: "By order, the thieves and slaves are reckless, and Yunzhen has already selected Rui to help, and he is also encouraging the generals." ”

The local army of the Ming Dynasty successively went to the king of Qinwang on the road, even if the combat power was low, but it also attracted a large army of the Qing army. Therefore, so far, only a number of Qing troops of about 1,000 people divided into small units have been looting everywhere.

Among them, there was a Qing army unit with the largest number of mixed Mongolian soldiers, but it came to the vicinity of the city where Ma Fang's descendants were stationed, which was not far from the border pass.

Ma Fang (1517-1581), whose name is Dexin, alias Lanxi, was a native of Ulzhou, Shanxi Province (now Wei County, Zhangjiakou). Famous generals in the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Fang was born in a peasant family, at the age of ten was taken captive by the Mongolian Tatar tribe, and then fled back to Datong in the sixteenth year of Jiajing (1537), and was the captain of the Datong general Zhou Shangwen.

Its prestige is only slightly lower than Qi Jiguang!

When Ma Fang was stationed at one of the border passes, his old opponent was the "Beiyu", that is, the old adversary of the Ming Dynasty: the Mongol tribes who had long invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Although since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, their lives have not been as good as the generation, but the survival ability of these people is not ordinarily strong, and whenever their strength recovers, they will bite the Ming Dynasty a few bites.

Among them, the most ruthless one was that Wara Khan also defeated hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop in Tumubao, and also captured Ming Yingzong, who was personally conquered.

During the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty caught up with them again: the Tatar Khan Altan, known as Altan in the Ming Dynasty. This descendant of Genghis Khan, who can be called the most outstanding military strategist of the Mongolian steppe at this time, is more green than the hard bite of Warat in Tumu Fort back then.

What he brought to the Ming Dynasty was a continuous blow every year. The combat effectiveness was more ferocious, and the cavalry under his command was the most elite of the Mongolian steppe at that time, often with superb command and ferocious impact, and repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the border army of the Ming Dynasty.

The border cities that he conquered, there are Shizhou, Shuozhou, Yansui, Songziling, Shuozhou, Guangchang, Gubeikou and other seventeen, the worst is Datong, once from Jiajing 19 to 21 years, three times in a row by him occupied.

And such a figure, who could almost imitate Genghis Khan and lead the Mongols to the peak again, ended up losing miserably at the hands of Ma Fang many times.

Even died at the hands of Ma Fang in the end, can you imagine how high the Mongolian people's hatred for Ma Fang and his descendants is?

At this moment, stationed here is Ma Fang's great-grandson, named Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is not the great-grandson of the famous general Ma Fang, and he has won the art of war. Without waiting for the Mongol army and the Qing army to arrive, they took precautions in advance.

He stood on two feet inside the city on a wooden frame, and his shaft stood outside the city. There is a cover on it, covered with old wool bedding wet with water, and it is used to prevent sharp arrows from entering the forest outside the city.

On the side of the city wall facing the outside of the city, several holes were hollowed out to peek into the movement outside.

On the city wall there was a pile of rolling logs and stones, and the rolling stones were piled up in a place beside the battlement wall. An instrument resembling a small stone throwing machine is erected. Use it to throw rocks under the city and smash enemies to death.

There were countless holes dug outside the city, and there were some beggars, and the refusal was full of sharp iron and thorns.

Ma Chao even led the team to boost morale on the city wall every day, and the sergeants were not allowed to leave the city without permission. Those who return home without permission must be court-martialed, including the captain. The salary of the current year is paid immediately!

When he didn't receive the news at night, the Mongol army and the Qing army of the brigade attacked.

Ma Chao's face sank, and he shouted: "Police, let the soldiers prepare to guard, supervise the team to guard the back, everyone stick to their posts, and must not retreat, otherwise there will be no snake!" ”

For a time, the officers of the various teams guarding the city wall all beat the bamboo poles and bronze drums in the team, so that the soldiers were on guard and ready for battle.

Everyone looked serious, waiting for the battle to begin.

Soon, a relatively large army of the Qing soldiers and the Mongol army rolled in, and the flags were white and red, which was very scary.

If you look closely, the number of Qing troops is only about 1,000, and the number of Mongolian soldiers is only about 2,000.

Immediately, the sergeants and generals on the city wall let out a heavy panting. Although everyone has been preparing for a long time and has the same hatred for the enemy, most of the Qing soldiers came, and the Eight Banners were under pressure for a long time. Everyone is still under great psychological pressure!

If you don't fight, you will die, Ma Chao's heart was boiling, and he roared fiercely: "Come on, I'm waiting for you, my ancestors' defeated generals!" ”

The Mongol soldiers under the city had a cruel smile on their faces, such a castle, in the past, was not even worth their capture. Narrow, remote, poor, and without a little oil or water. The reason why they asked to come here was not to rob something, but simply to avenge the great revenge of the Mongols.

The Qing army and the Mongol army thought that they were suddenly attacking. And the fort was only defended by less than a thousand soldiers, and it would not be defeated, and they laughed loudly.

When he was young, the five Niu Lu were combined into a large array, and each Niu Lu was arranged into a small formation separately, with the soldiers in front and the auxiliary soldiers in the back, totaling more than 1,550 people.

There are also white swing tooth soldiers, which are commonly known as white armor soldiers, and the protectors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations. They have bright armor of one color, high red tassels on their helmets, and a flaming side flag on their backs. Join in as a Chinese military force!

In addition, there were more than 500 soldiers in armor, and the rest were followers and auxiliaries, who were not wearing armor, or only cotton armor with no iron leaves inside.

They ran to a distance of more than a hundred paces from the head of the fort and came to a distant stop.

Shouted to the city: "The Ming army upstairs is listening to me, if you surrender now." You can still live! If you resist to the end, my Qing soldiers will attack the fort, and you will definitely be burned. You should think carefully so that you don't regret it! ”-
