In August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the military fort outside Guangling City lasted three months and was finally completed.

The military fort is about 800 steps long, about three zhang high, and the width is 500 steps away, although it is not as good as Guangling City, but it is already a big fort in the military fort, at least, it is not a problem to live more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians.

There are three wells and two warehouses in the fort, and the warehouses are full of grain and ordnance, and when the war is approaching, Wang Teng will transport all the hidden grain and straw to it, about 300 stones.

The storehouse and the military quarters are adjacent to each other, and several huge water tanks are placed during this period for fire prevention purposes.

In the center of the military quarters, there is a public toilet where the villagers need to urinate every day for great use.

Although the sparrow is small, the Ming military fort adheres to the tradition, the functions are complete, the barracks, granaries, horse farms, and arsenals are not lacking, and it can be said that it is a small fortress city.

Nowadays, the military fort built by Wang Teng is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

Although the most common temples were not built, the foundations were also set aside, and on the easternmost side of the fort, Wang Teng even set aside a vacant lot as a martyr's shrine to show bravery, that is, this is a place left for the "martyrs".

The fort faces north and south, and in order to maximize the defensive power, only one fort gate is left on the south side.

The fort gate is made of three-foot-thick pear wood, and the outer layer is wrapped in a thick iron sheet, although it is not as good as the city gate made of fine iron, but it can also be called well-protected.

There is also a small urn city inside the fort gate, which is the last line of defense when the most urgent moment comes.

The bluestone fort wall is five feet thick, and the gaps are watered by glutinous rice juice, and according to Wang Teng's inference, even if the tiger squats and bombards the wall, it is probably difficult to work.

At the beginning of the establishment of the military fort, the Jurchens were used as imaginary enemies, and since they were Jurchens, their cavalry was the main force.

How to deal with the Cavalry?

Wang Teng racked his brains, and after some thought, he dug a deep trench outside the fort wall, and poured water from the Juma River into it, which became a barrier for the military fort.

Outside the trench, there are hundreds of large and small irregular earth pits, which are several feet deep, and most of the idlers will fall half to death when they fall into them.

In the vicinity of the fort gate, the depth and density of the pit have increased several times.

When the villagers go in and out, they have to walk around the dirt pit, which is very inconvenient.

However, Wang Teng did not explain much, he believed that when the time of war, the sergeants would feel the importance of the earthen pit.

In three months, more than 1,000 craftsmen and craftsmen worked together to create such a copper wall.

The name of the fort is Dinghe, which means to guard the mountains and rivers.

In order to celebrate the completion of the military fort, Wang Teng held a banquet, whether it was a village warrior or a craftsman, even young and strong households could eat and drink with their bellies open.

However, after three rounds of drinking, a loud "boom" sound came from the sky.

"Thunder?" The townspeople were at a loss.

"Boom"

This is not thunder, Wang Teng's face changed, "I'm afraid it's the sound of cannons."

Everyone's faces changed drastically, what kind of cannon sound could travel so far?

"My lord, look, wolf smoke!"

Wolf smoke means that there is an enemy.

What happened?

In August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji's biggest enemy in the grassland, Lin Dan Khan, died of smallpox in the grass beach of Qinghai.

As soon as Lin Dan Khan died, Huang Taiji's war against Chahar was declared victorious, and he finally took out his hand to plunder the Ming Dynasty.

On the sixth day of the first month of August, the Houjin army returned to the division and entered the Ming border in the name of disturbing its territory, killing its people, and hiding people from the Ming border.

At this time, the Ming border army could only defend the city and was unable to drive out of the city.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Houjin cavalry entered the upper fort and besieged Xuanfu, but fortunately, the defenders of Xuanfu had already taken precautions, and they repelled Dolgon with artillery.

After entering the customs, for the sake of goods and population, if the opposite side is a hard bone, they will weigh the gains and losses.

At present, the Xuanfu army is in full array, and the Houjin army has no chance to take advantage of it, so it has to turn its troops to attack Datong.

Compared with Xuanfu, the Datong guards were far behind, but in one day, the victory fort fell.

Victory Fort is an important town in Datong, and when the news came out, the government and the opposition were shaken.

The cannon sound that Wang Teng heard outside Guangling City was the sound of the military fort defending against the enemy.

The Liukou are all in Henan, and most of the people who can have such momentum are the Houjin army.

Wang Teng's heart was awe-inspiring, he thought that the Houjin army would come over next year, who would have thought that they would come to knock this year.

In just three months of training, will Xiang Yong be the opponent of the Houjin Cavalry?

Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier hurriedly came to report, "Wang Patrol, Lord Wei is invited."

Wang Teng did not delay, he rode into the city, and arrived at the county government with a stick of incense.

Wei Yuan sat in the main seat, and Yi Ying was at the bottom.

"Wang Teng, you're here, the Dongyu is invading, the situation is not good"

As soon as the words fell, a "boom" cannon sound was heard in the northwest direction.

Master Qin rushed out of the house, only to see five wolf smoke rising into the sky, his face changed greatly, and he said tremblingly: "My lord, there are five beacons and five cannons, and the number of slave troops is above 10,000 people."

Wei Yuantie's face was blue, "The east is powerful, Wang Teng, I have received an order from the imperial court, and I will rush to Ulzhou today, after I leave, this Guangling County will be handed over to you."

Wang Teng knew that Wei Yuan was not trying to escape, it should really be the will of the imperial court, but it just happened to be his meeting and met Hou Jin.

If you really want to compare, although the city defense of Ulzhou is better than that of Guangling, but as a state city, his danger factor is also big enough, once he is targeted by the Tartars, it is still ambiguous whether he can hold it.

Instead of staying in an unfamiliar state city, it is better to stay in Guangling safely.

However, Wei Yuan's responsibility cannot be evaded.

The Daming Ulzhou General Judgment is a real job, and he can't avoid it.

Yi Ying's face was calm, as if she had already heard about it.

It stands to reason that Wang Teng will be more or less touched, however, what is amazing is that Wang Teng's face has not changed in the slightest from beginning to end.

Is this pretending to be calm, or is it frightened?

Yi Ying couldn't help but slander.

Wei Yuan also showed an inquiring gaze, as if he was curious about Wang Teng's thoughts.

Wang Teng sorted out his thoughts, and said in his mouth: "My lord, Ulzhou is located on a key road, and Dongyu will definitely disturb here, although it is a state city, but it is mixed, you have to be more careful."

Wei Yuan smiled dumbly, "You better be careful of yourself, I've heard that Fan Yongdou hates you to the core, this time, maybe there will be Dongyu to attack the city, Wang Teng, Yi Ying, do you two have a way to deal with it?" ”

Yi Ying sweated on her forehead, "defend the city and avoid its edge".

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, "This method is decent, Wang Teng, what do you think?" ”

"Guangling is poor, the number of Dongyu who come to disturb must not be much, as long as Yi Qianhu can defend the county seat, I am sure that they will return in vain."

"Oh? Really? ”

"Before that, I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

"Listen, of course!"
