The settlement fort is a small fortress on the periphery of Datong, which is equivalent to the acropolis of Datong City, and the victory fort is one south and one north, guarding the outer positions of Datong. The wolf smoke that Yingzhou saw was originally raised from here, and then it went all the way south and was passed down for the two sides who were fighting fiercely.

"Brother Hu, the beacon fire is lit."

"Okay, well done, just guard the gate." Hu Biao was in great spirits, swinging his knife to avoid several enemies, his left hand wiped a handful on his face, his hand was red, full of blood, there were his, there were enemies, and there were also his comrades.

The beacon tower should naturally be built in a high place, if it is in the city, it is generally set directly on the city wall, Hu Biao is now on the south wall of the settlement fort, in front of him is a black oppressive enemy, behind him is the beacon tower.

"Hu Biao, it's still too late for you to rein in the precipice, even if you go crazy yourself, don't involve others, collaborating with the enemy and treason is tantas, and you will be punished by the Nine Clans!" The officer on the other side was already in a rage.

Hu Biao and the others were originally insignificant, but they saw the scene in the city, and for the sake of safety, Cui Yan asked them to be detained.

The adults have orders, and the people below will naturally follow them, but Cui Yan's manpower is also relatively tight, after all, those who can participate in this kind of big thing must be very reliable people. Therefore, the person in charge of this matter pondered, and simply took them to a secluded place, and directly killed them, and it was over, saving them from having to send someone to watch.

His lack of attention, coupled with Hu Biao's early preparation, before the escort could make a move, Hu Biao had already burst out and grabbed the knife, and immediately came to a counter-killing, and then he took a few brothers out of the city and rushed directly to the settlement fort.

Hu Biao and the others moved too fast, and there were many people and horses in the city, and they were dissatisfied with the perverse actions of the governor's yamen and the general military mansion, so no one stopped them, so Cui Yan didn't have time to stop them at all, and it wasn't until Hu Biao and others entered the settlement fort that the chasing soldiers caught up.

Just catching up can't solve the problem quickly, and the defenders here in the settlement fort are also all right guards, so Hu Biao went all the way to the beacon tower unimpeded.

Although the right guards did not dare to stop the pursuers, but after catching up, the officer headed by him was full of bitterness, he brought hundreds of people, Hu Biao only had less than ten people, but the city wall was too narrow, and he couldn't show his troops at all, Hu Biao was very brave, and his subordinates were all desperate, until the beacon fire was ignited, he still did not break through this thin defense line.

Seeing the black smoke rising, the officer was really anxious, although the fire screen had passed for half a day, and it should be almost at the destination, but after all, it was a surprise attack, and the later it was discovered, the better the effect.

The fire screen goes south, and the fortress along the way does not see the Datong beacon fire, and will only hesitate, and may not dare to raise the beacon fire, but if there is the beacon fire of Datong first, then there is nothing to hesitate.

Although Cui Yan and Wang Xun are the civil and military leaders of Datong, they can do this kind of thing, but they can't be blatant, Datong is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty after all, even if there is the support of the gentry and officials, but there is no way to cover the sky with one hand.

As Wang Xun's confidant, he has climbed to the high branch of the governor, and all he can do now is to break through Hu Biao as soon as possible and extinguish the fire.

"Treason? Reined? In my opinion, it is only right that you should turn back sooner. ”

Hu Biao spat at the mouth with disdain, and raised his voice: "Brothers, you also saw it in the morning, tens of thousands of captives and horsemen passed under Datong City, and it is better to say that if we don't fight, we have few people, and we really can't beat them, and we may affect Datong City." However, when the enemy cavalry is discovered, how can it not raise a beacon fire to warn? You must know that the Tartars are heading south, and the Holy Driver is now in Yingzhou! ”

"Wow!" The settlement fort is not big, Hu Biao's voice is very loud, and after the riot on the beacon tower, the attention of the people in the fort is also focused on this side, so Hu Biao's words are really heard by all the troops, and even if there is an uproar.

The officer shouted angrily: "Nonsense, the holy car is obviously in Yanghe, and he is coming to Datong, how can he go to a remote place like Yingzhou?" The person who fought with the Tartars in Yingzhou was Wang Zongbing, what is the relationship between this general and Wang Zongbing, don't you know? Don't believe his fallacies to confuse the people, come on, kill these stubborn thieves for me! ”

In terms of eloquence, he and Hu Biao seem to be in the middle, and his status is much higher, but his words are not convincing at all. Captives and horses cross the border, and it is barely excusable if they don't fight, and if they don't burn the beacon fire to warn, they must be tired, even if they write to the court afterwards and make a prompt, they can't change Cui Yan's suspicion of collaborating with the enemy.

However, the officer did not expect to convince the men of the right guard to join the attack, as long as he could temporarily stabilize them. In fact, he has enough people, if he can deploy his troops, he can chop Hu Biao and his people into meat sauce in the blink of an eye.

In fact, even when he spoke, the battle was still going on.

Hu Biao grabbed a stabbed gun, and when the opponent couldn't dodge it, he raised his foot and kicked on the opponent's heart, and the man immediately spurted blood and retreated, even if he was protected by armor, this kick was enough for him.

However, Hu Biao didn't have time to check the results of the battle, or be proud, because the enemy was endless. As soon as he repelled the enemy in front of him, a war knife on the side slashed over, just in time when his old strength was exhausted, and he didn't have time to dodge when he saw it, and he was about to splash the knife with blood.

"Dang!" The one who blocked the enemy's sneak attack was the little soldier who had just come out of the beacon tower, and this person's face and hands were all pitch black, and he couldn't see his appearance anymore, but if Ma Xun was here, he might be able to hear that this was the little soldier who was looking forward to going to Yingzhou.

"Brother Hu, do you think we are fighting side by side with the emperor?"

"Count, why don't you count, the emperor killed the Tartars in Yingzhou, let's kill the traitors in Datong and report to the emperor, of course, we are fighting side by side."

The wolf smoke of Datong has already risen, and as long as the fortress in the south is also lit, the merit of these people will be considered complete. However, after hearing this, Hu Biao's heart was still sour, and he ran all the way from Datong, more than a dozen brothers were already half dead, and the rest had no way to live, but they couldn't resist for as long as they wanted.

Those who can follow themselves are all good men, and it is really unwilling, but they died here so inexplicably! He glared angrily, roared like thunder in his mouth, the already thunderous sword was a little faster, the sword flashed, and several enemies in front of him splattered blood and retreated, seeing his bravery, no one dared to step forward for a while.

"There are few of us, and when the emperor returns triumphantly, after hearing our names, maybe he can still remember them! Haha, brethren, do you know, this is called Jane in the Emperor's Heart. Hu Biao stood with his knife in his hand, laughing endlessly.

"That's a good daring, I can show my face in front of the emperor even if I am in water, and I can let the emperor remember, this can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, Brother Hu, you can rest for a while, let me bear it." The little soldier was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that Hu Biao had exhausted his strength, and hurriedly offered to replace the other party.

"Hmph, you're still far away, stay by the side, kill the rebel, Lao Tzu's strength can't be used up! Drink! ”

After that, Hu Biao roared again and raised his knife. Intimidated by his arrogance, the enemies who rushed up again were all slowed down, but he crashed into the crowd, the knife opened and closed, and in the blink of an eye, several people were injured, and he himself also had a few new wounds, but they were mixed with the old wounds, but it was difficult to distinguish.

"Brother Hu, Weiyuan Fort has already lit a beacon fire."

"Okay, then our task is completed, and the rest is all about making money, haha......"

…… The battle in the Settlement Fort was very tragic, but the scale was not large, and compared to the bloody battle that was going on in Yingzhou, it could only be said to be a small thing.

Wolf Smoke not only sent a warning signal to Zhengde, but also gave the little prince a dose of strength, and the captives fell into complete madness. I knew that there was a forbidden army in front of me, and it should be a little difficult to deal with, but the Tartars never dreamed that the other party would be so difficult to deal with.

If the Ming army used firearms, the cowardly Han people could only rely on some skills if they wanted to contend with the warriors of the grassland. However, the things of the Ming army are completely within their cognition, and the strong crossbow is still a little abnormal, but the spear array is a very ordinary thing.

Just relying on these things, it was too unimaginable to resist the onslaught of 100,000 iron horsemen. Before the fire screen arrived, the little prince's faith began to waver.

Fortunately, the fire sieve came. Although the price paid was a little bigger, the Ming army was still about to be defeated after all, without this weird little emperor, without this strong forbidden army, the Central Plains in civil strife was just his own pasture.

Without the little emperor, the Ming Kingdom is what those big officials say, those people are idiots, they will only pit their own people, and they are not very professional, they actually told themselves that the forbidden army of the little emperor is a vulnerable baby soldier, phew, is there such a powerful doll?

"Assault, the fire sieve will be here soon, the whole army will assault! Don't give them the slightest respite! "Outside the beacon smoke, dust and smoke have already risen in the north, there is no need to keep it secret, even if the Ming army knows who is coming, they will no longer have the power to return to the sky, the little prince stood up from his horse, so that the roar could spread farther.

...... "The little prince's back hand turned out to be a fire sieve ......" Xie Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly, the intelligence network is really important, and the intelligence network on the grassland has not been established for a long time, and it turned out that he was fooled again and again.

The decisive battle was already in a hurry, and it was attacked back and forth by the other party, no wonder the little prince has always wanted to lure the second brother to Yanghe or Datong, if it is there, the fire screen may come earlier, right?

"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we still have reserves." Zhengde was not affected, he was even more elated, only to hear him shout: "Zhang Dingyuan ......"

"The last general!" The big black man came out in response.

"Take your men to the rear and put out the fire." Zhengde's order was powerful and domineering, so that the gentle and other staff officers were stunned when they heard it, Your Majesty, you have to figure it out, now that we have been attacked, why don't you give a surprised reaction?

"Whoa!" The iron armor was sonorous, and Zhang Dingyuan strode away.
