40,000 iron horsemen set out from the depths of the grassland, and the soldiers reached Yongning. Because the three guards of Duoyan were defeated under Yongning City, Dayan Khan led 40,000 cavalry to Yongning City.

It has been a month since the victory in Yongning, and although the autumn defense has also become tense again, many people speculate in their hearts that they don't know if there are still grassland cavalry who dare to come to the border.

What is unexpected is that just a month later, Yongning City trembled under the horse's hooves, and it was an unprecedented tremor, and it felt as if the end was coming.

Zhou Yang stood on the city wall with a solemn face and looked into the distance, the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, which was far more spectacular than the last time when Duoyan Sanwei invaded the border. Behind this magnificent smoke and dust must be a cavalry that is even larger than the three guards and ten thousand cavalry.

"Prepare to defend the city and light the beacon fire!" Zhou Yang shouted.

The entire Yongning City immediately became nervously busy, no matter whether this huge cavalry would attack the city or not, it could not be careless. The walls were busy preparing the equipment for defending the city, and the smoke was already rising from the beacon tower.

Dayan Khan approached Yongning with 40,000 cavalry, Zhou Yang's face turned a little pale when he looked at this mighty cavalry, this is definitely more than more than 10,000 cavalry! Far more than more than 10,000 cavalry!

Yongning City has never encountered so many cavalry. The adjutant general's face turned pale and said: "My lord, could it be that Duoyan Sanwei suffered a defeat and raised troops to retaliate?" ”

Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "It can't be Duoyan Sanwei, and Duoyan Sanwei doesn't have so many cavalry!" Unless, it's Tatar! ”

Billowing wolf smoke rose in Yongning City, and soon the wolf smoke rose quickly from the adjacent castles, and the wolf smoke rose one after another from the castles, and the wolf smoke rose, and the news spread rapidly to the Xuanfu.

Dayan Khan approached Yongning City with his cavalry, but he had no intention of attacking the city, and his goal was the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty. So he stopped far away with a large group of cavalry, and several teams of 1,000 people slowly walked around the city.

At this time, the city wall was nervously preparing to meet the enemy, and the deputy general was a little puzzled when he saw the movement below: "What are they doing here?" Do you want to see where the siege is suitable? ”

Zhou Yang muttered: "It shouldn't be, there are still three guards between Tatar and Daming, so it is impossible to choose to attack the city." They're supposed to be provoking us to fight! ”

The adjutant general was a little speechless when he heard this: "Provoke us to fight?" Aren't we crazy, how can we put the danger of the city and go out of the city to fight with them? ”

The adjutant general looked at the vast cavalry and was speechless, all the soldiers in Daning didn't add up to so many, how could they go out of the city to fight? There is simply no chance of victory.

Besides, they didn't have flintlock pistols at all, but they weren't as confident as the Governor. Even if your head is caught in a piece of paper by the door, you won't fight.

Zhou Yang naturally didn't have the intention of going to war, he wouldn't think that the grassland cavalry could be bullied just because the Governor defeated the grassland cavalry under Yongning City. Zhou Yang groaned: "Naturally, it won't be to provoke us to fight, it is likely to provoke the Governor to fight!" ”

The adjutant general suddenly understood, and said dumbfounded: "But the governor is not here at all!" ”

Zhou Yang said a little heavily: "But they don't know, and these cavalry are no less than forty or fifty thousand, and the strength of the governor is only twenty thousand!" ”

Dayan Khan's cavalry waited and rested in Yongning, and there was not a single soldier in Yongning City from beginning to end, and from the perspective of city defense, it seems that there were not many soldiers in Yongning City.

At this time, Dayan Khan already had the idea of leaving Yongning, although he led his troops to Yongning, but a month has passed since the battle of Yongning, and the possibility that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still in Yongning City is very small, and it is very likely that he has returned to Xuanfu.

After all, Yongning is just a small city, how could the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty stay in this small city all the time. So after resting, Dayan Khan led his troops to leave Yongning and go straight to Xuanfu.

Seeing that the vast cavalry had left Yongning, and the direction they were going in was the direction of Xuanfu, Zhou Yang's mood was still a little solemn, because this showed that the Tatar cavalry did not just come to invade the border, but to the governor.

It's just that he is also a little curious in his heart, although the Governor has defeated the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei, why did the Tatars go crazy? Could it be that the three guards of Duoyan surrendered to the Tatars and asked for troops?

The soldiers of the Xuanfu city wall suddenly saw the wolf smoke billowing up, and they all became nervous, and the generals guarding the city rushed down the city wall to report the news.

In the General Army's Mansion, Zhang Zhijie was ordering things, and Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin were listening respectfully. At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a general walked in quickly.

"Lord Governor, Lord Governor, Lord Commander, wolf smoke has risen!"

Zhang Zhijie, Wang Chong and the others were all taken aback when they heard this, and Zhang Zhijie immediately got up and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

The group climbed the city wall, and sure enough, seeing the wolf smoke billowing out, Zhang Zhijie's face was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems to be coming from the direction of Yongning City!" ”

Wang Chong listened and said suspiciously: "It is indeed from the direction of Yongning City, could it be that Duoyan Sanwei is unwilling to retreat, and Hua Dang personally led the troops here?" But we haven't heard from us, have we? ”

Jiang Huaixin frowned and said: "According to the news, Hua Danghe thought that the emperor had come to Xuanfu, so because he was accompanied by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, he defeated his children and grandchildren under Yongning City!" This flower didn't really think that the emperor was coming, so he led the troops to attack, right? ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said: "Duoyan Sanwei has been dealing with Daming for so long, it is impossible not to bury nails in Xuanfu, so the news of Xuanfu should not be hidden!" ”

Wang Chong was puzzled: "Then why are Duoyan Sanwei rumored that the emperor came to Xuanfu?" ”

Zhang Zhijie muttered: "On the one hand, it is to clear the guilt of the defeat of his children and grandchildren, and on the other hand, it is likely that he deliberately spread the news to the Tatars!" ”

"Dayan Khan, although he came to power with the death of Manduhai, still lacked prestige, so Dayan Khan was eager to prove himself. Hua Dang deliberately spread the news in order to incite Dayan Khan to invade the border and follow the example of the year! ”

Regarding Zhang Zhijie's analysis, Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin both had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Jiang Huaixin said hatefully when he heard this: "Hua is this old fox, his heart can be punished!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said decisively: "It seems that Dayan Khan really believed the news on the steppe, and it was the Tatars who came to attack." The Tatars have nothing to gain in Yongning, and they will definitely lead their troops to attack Xuanfu! ”

Wang Chong said in a deep voice: "Xuanfu Xiongcheng, even if Dayan Khan leads tens of thousands of cavalry, he will not want to capture Xuanfu City!" ”
