On June 10, the tenth year of Zhengde (1515), the Tatar army sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Jizhou, that is, three days after the Tatar army sent envoys, Jizhou on the nine sides had already sent an emergency, and then Ma Lanyu, thirty miles away from Jizhou, was quickly broken by the Tatar army.

The historical record of this Tatar invasion, regardless of the time and place, has undergone great changes, which is not expected by Lewen, and it seems that history has undergone many changes due to Lewen.

It turned out that the Tatar army sent envoys to make peace was to confuse the Ming court, so that the Ming army could relax its vigilance, and the Tatar army pressed the border, and the Tatars attacked Ma Lanyu, went straight to Jizhou, and plundered Tonghua County.

The perennial garrison of Jizhou Town is about 80,000 people, including the troops of Shanhaiguan, forming a chariot battalion, a total of 7 battalions, each battalion of 4,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, a total of 49,000 people.

There are three kinds of terrain in Jizhou, the vast plains and fields, which are the terrain south of the inland hundred miles. The dangers are mixed, and it is the terrain in the interior close to the border plug. The valley is narrow, the trees are large and the forest is deep, and it is the terrain outside the border fortress. The enemy enters the plains, which is conducive to chariot battles. In the interior near the border passes, he is good at horse warfare. Outside the border passes, it is suitable for foot combat. Only by using the three interchangeably can we gain the initiative to win the war. Nowadays, the border soldiers only practice horseback riding, and are not familiar with the formations of mountain battles, forest battles, and narrow valley battles.

The soldiers of Jizhou, nominally numerous but in fact insufficient, why do you say so?

There are seven reasons: First, the soldiers stationed in the garrison do not practice military affairs, but are good at the end of the skills, and the strong soldiers are sent by the generals, and only the old and weak soldiers are filled in the army.

Second, the border village has long and tortuous times, but very few postal institutions are set up, so that the ministers and guests come and go continuously, and they are constantly greeted every day, and the generals and guerrillas have become post envoys, and the barracks have become post stations.

Third, the enemy came to attack, and there was no way to dispatch, and they went long distances, and both men and horses were injured.

Fourth, the soldiers defending the border fortress lacked strict restraint and were not in good order.

Fifth, the cavalry did not use horses in battle, but on foot.

Sixth, the morale of the family is strong and the morale of the army is scattered.

Seventh, it is necessary to erect border barriers without choosing priorities, and to disperse the forces due to the large number of defense locations.

Le Wen ordered the generalissimo of the great north to lead the army of 300,000 to conquer the Tatars, because the military situation was urgent, there were still 100,000 soldiers failed to arrive, so they hurriedly sent troops, when Cui Zhi led the troops to Jizhou City, the 80,000 cavalry of the Jizhou city defense had more than 10,000 remnants left, and they were still swearing to resist, seeing the arrival of the generalissimo Cui Zhi, he hurriedly opened the south gate and led the army into the city.

Then the two armies fought outside the north of Jizhou City, Cui Zhi was brave and unusual, led the troops to fight in person, won the first battle, beheaded 9,000 enemies, and among the 9,000 enemy troops who were beheaded, there were 1,000 Tatar enemy troops, all of whom he personally killed, which can be described as the god of war in the army, which greatly stimulated the morale of the whole army.

Seeing that the Tatar army could not be attacked for a while, it divided its troops into dozens of miles and camped in succession, attacking the important places of Xuanzhou and Dazhou, and at the same time sent another 10,000 cavalry to plunder Huai'an.

Huai'an defender Li Zhong was in a hurry, and Le Wen ordered Zheng Liangcai to supervise the armies of Xuanzhou, Dazhou, and Yansui, and worship Ling Rui, the commander of the imperial palace, as the envoy of Xuanzhi to assist Li Zhong in guarding, and the army in the capital was also under martial law.

At this time, the head of the White Lotus Sect unexpectedly launched a civil strife and led 100,000 sect members to suddenly attack the capital, and the capital was in an emergency.

It turned out that when the two Tatar envoys came to visit the Ming Dynasty, they had secretly contacted the Ten Thousand Sect Masters of the White Lotus Sect in advance, as long as the Tatar army raised troops to raid the border of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was empty, the White Lotus Sect would respond from it, and the inside should be combined with the outside, attacking the capital and smashing the imperial city.

The White Lotus Sect Master led 100,000 White Lotus Sect members, and secretly sneaked to the border of the capital, and then took advantage of the change of the generals of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city, and attacked the capital at night, where did the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city think that the White Lotus Sect of 100,000 people would suddenly appear outside the capital, and for a while, the Imperial Forest Army also lost a lot, and the military situation was urgent, and Le Wen did not care about so much, and personally led Su Hao, the left governor of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Huo Hong, sent out 50,000 Jinyi Guards to exterminate the White Lotus Sect.

The number of Jinyi guards in the Zhengde period has reached 100,000, and Lewen originally felt that 100,000 Jinyi guards were still a bit much, and it seemed that it came in handy at this time.

Le Wen was dressed in a black brocade uniform, embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon, which looked particularly conspicuous against the background of the torches, this military uniform was found by him from Zhu Houzhao's usual hunting clothes, he didn't look carefully at the time, and when he rode a horse and led the fifty thousand brocade guards behind him to prepare to go out of the city to face the battle, he noticed the nine-clawed golden dragon, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head, and said in his heart: "My day, this military uniform is embroidered with such an obvious nine-clawed golden dragon, isn't Lao Tzu going to be targeted by the White Lotus Sect Master......"

However, Le Wen is not afraid, he is still trying to understand how the White Lotus Sect Master's kung fu is, and the legendary White Lotus Sect Master's Shadow Sword, which is also Le Wen's dream, if he can win this White Lotus Sect Master, then the Shadow Inheritance Sword will naturally belong to him, but I don't know if the Son of Heaven Sword he is carrying on his waist now can fight against it, if it is broken by the Shadow Sword, it will be worth the loss.

"Your Majesty, how can you personally go out of the city to meet the enemy, or let Weichen lead the troops!"

Su Hao, the governor of Jinyi Weizuo, dressed in a flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, is tall and big, and is extremely tough, especially the scar on his face, which is particularly conspicuous, he has just been promoted by Le Wen from the command envoy Tongzhi, I saw that he saw that the emperor actually rode a war horse, and wanted to go out of the city to meet the enemy in person, his pupils shrank sharply, and the chain in his brain seemed to be broken in an instant, so he hurriedly knelt on the side of the horse that Le Wen was riding, clasped his fists and saluted, wanting to dissuade the emperor.

"Governor Su Du is reasonable, and he also asks His Majesty to take the country's society as the priority, take care of the dragon's body, and don't personally lead troops out of the city to meet the enemy."

As soon as Su Hao, the left governor of the Jinyi Guard, finished speaking, and then Huo Hong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, also knelt down on the other side of Le Wen's horse, begging the emperor not to personally lead the troops to meet the enemy, he was also afraid that if the emperor made a mistake, they would have to bury the emperor with the whole family, and they would have suffered, so they would rather die in battle than see His Majesty the Emperor have the slightest mistake.

Soon, the group of civil officials who stayed in the capital also rushed to dissuade His Majesty, because of the suddenness of the incident, the military attaches in the capital who could fight except for the Jinyi Guards were sent out to conquer the Tatars, and now these civil officials who can only dance and write and make ink, and are even afraid of killing chickens, let them write with a pen, if they are allowed to fight, they can be scared to death.

"Needless to say, now that the capital is in danger, if I don't personally lead the troops to suppress the thieves, I'm afraid I will really have to sit and wait to die."

Le Wen can't take care of it so much, the generals who can fight well have all been sent out, although these two newly promoted Jinyi Guard chiefs are considered top martial arts in these Jinyi Guards, but if they are allowed to fight with the White Lotus Sect Master, I am afraid that the two of them together will not be enough for the White Lotus Sect Master to beat.
