According to the regulations of the second year of Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty (1466), "Order the border to raise and release beacon cannons, if you see one or two enemies to more than 100 people, you will raise one beacon and one cannon, 500 people will raise two beacons and two cannons, more than 1,000 people will have three beacons and three cannons, more than 5,000 people will have four beacons and four cannons, and more than 10,000 people will have five beacons and five cannons."

Listening to Hu Yukun's introduction, this Zhen'an Fort is the same as Zhenyuan Fort, and it belongs to the fifth level of Liaodong Town's defense of the garrison city. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the nine-sided military system was divided into six levels: two first-level towns (Liaoyang, Guangning), three second-level road cities (Ningqian, Yizhou, Kaiyuan), six third-level acropolis (Ningyuanwei, Guangning Zhongtun (Jinzhou) Wei, Haizhou Wei, Shenyang Zhongwei, Liaohaiwei) -- ten fourth-level cities (Zhongqian, Zhonghou, Tashan Zhongzuo, Shahe Zhongright, Songshan Zhongzuo, Dalinghe Zhongzuo, Puhe Zhongzuo, Yilu Zhongzuocheng, Xunhe Zhongzuo, Fushun Qianhu City)― One hundred and six fifth-level forts (there are too many forts in Liaodong to list them all) - sixth-level piers.

The forts were set up to defend the defense line of the Great Wall, and each fort was responsible for the defense of a section of the Great Wall and its adjacent beacons. The fort is located on the inner side of the Great Wall, and can be built in both ambush and attack the enemy. Each fort is guarded by a garrison, and the number of soldiers in the fort is about 500.

When everyone was discussing whether to send troops to rescue, Hu Yukun's family members hurriedly came to report. It is said that two more beacons were burned in the direction of Zhen'anbao, so it seems that the Mongs who invaded numbered as many as 10,000 people.

Zhenyuan Fort had just experienced a bitter battle, and there were less than 300 soldiers in the city. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking again, Hu Yukun mobilized more than 300 troops and strong men to step up training in the past two days. Together with the nearly 100 battalions temporarily assigned to Ziren's command, there were less than 1,000 soldiers and horses. Seeing the huge disparity between the enemy and us, Hu Shoubei immediately dispelled his intention to send troops.

Seeing that the generals of Zhenyuan Fort were reluctant to fight, although Ziren had the intention of killing slaves, his soldiers were outnumbered. The men and horses left behind by Shen Yourong, Li Dequan, and Yang Shaoxun barely obeyed their own commands when defending the city. If you want to ask everyone to go out of the city with you to rescue, I am afraid that no one will respond except for the brothers and sisters of the firearms battalion. As a last resort, I had to give up my plan to attack.

Hu Yukun was worried that Mengnu would continue to go south, so he pulled Ziren to discuss how to strengthen the city's defenses. At this time, the Wang brothers, who were supposed to stay at the city gate, rushed to say that some soldiers in the south of the city heard the sound of a cannon, so they came to report it. When Hu Shoubei heard this, he immediately led everyone to the city to check.

Standing on the city wall, I saw a beacon of wolf smoke burning on the black mountain about ten miles away to the south of Zhenyuan Fort. The name of this place is Majiadun, which is a pier platform under the jurisdiction of Zhenyuan Fort. There should be five Dun soldiers stationed in this station, and in recent years, Mengnu has invaded Dunding many times and suffered serious losses. Now only the chief Ma Zhengfei and his two sons Ma Gui and Ma Shinan are stationed there.

The pier is the smallest part of the ancient Great Wall's defense engineering system. According to Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training": "Pile up the beacon solution: since ancient times, the border has not been far away, and the beacon fire is cautious. "Most of them are located along the Great Wall and near the gates and castles. Most of the construction is based on the terrain, and there are many dangerous places with high mountains, traffic arteries and side walls.

Hu Yukun was worried that the pier platform under his rule would be lost, so he urgently invited Ziren to send troops together. Ziren wanted to fight for a long time, so he agreed. Immediately called his men, and at the same time ordered the firearms battalion to gather their men and prepare to fight together. Li Dequan's subordinates did not collect the night and the command of the banner left behind in the pacesetter battalion was inconvenient, so they all stayed in the city.

At this time, Hu Garrison also came with more than 20 cavalry and more than 150 foot soldiers, and more than 200 troops were dispatched. From the smoke of the beacon it is shown that the number of people who came to commit the Mongnu was up and down a hundred. From this point of view, even if this battle cannot completely annihilate the attackers, it is not difficult to force them back. After Hu Yukun and the left-behind general explained, he and Ziren led the troops into battle.

After the two led their troops out of the city, they were mostly foot soldiers. The speed of the march could not be too fast, and Ziren took this opportunity to discuss with Hu Yukun how to meet the enemy. It was proposed to set up a formation one or two miles away from the enemy, with the firearms battalion in front. Sixty or seventy paces to the enemy, release the bird gun and the spear, and the enemy rushes to within 50 paces and then kills the enemy with the quick gun and the three-eyed gun. After the firearms were fired, everyone rushed over together.

The spear, also known as the Divine Gun, was captured from the local army during the Yongle period during the fight against Annam. Its range is better than that of the Ming army's firearms, so it is copied and equipped with a large number of Shenji battalions, and there are also a large number of equipment in the nine sides.

When fired, gunpowder is first loaded into the barrel, and then a wooden horse (a piece of wood with a slightly smaller diameter and diameter) is inserted. After compaction, insert the arrows. After the ignition is fired, the Trojan horse is heated and expands to have a sealing effect, so the arrow is pushed to shoot a long distance. According to the "Wubei Zhi", the firing range can reach about 80 meters, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to aim. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by firearms such as bird guns and three-eyed guns.

Hu Shoubei fought on weekdays, relying on his own courage to fight and rush. Hearing Ziren say this, he felt quite troublesome, and he was reluctant in his heart. was worried that rebuttal would damage Ziren's face, so he agreed for the sake of leading the troops to assist him.

After a while, everyone came to the outside of Majiadun. Majiadun was built on the side of the mountain, and only a steep path in front of it was available for walking. Meng Nu had no choice but to dismount and attack the city, and Ma Zhengfei, the commander of the dun, resisted with the approval of his two sons under his knees. Fortunately, the archery skills of the three people were not bad, and the Mongolian Tatars broke many people, and they have not been able to break through the fort.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army. The centurion who led the troops was strong, and a ten-division commander was assigned to lead the troops to guard the path down the mountain, and he led the team to turn over and meet the battle. Baoli Dao saw that the Ming army was quite numerous, and while leading most of the men and horses to attack head-on, he divided two ten-division commanders and led people to attack from the left and right wings.

Seeing the enemy rushing in, Ziren and Hu Yukun immediately ordered everyone to line up to meet the enemy, and the soldiers hurriedly began to load firearms. Worried that Meng Nu would attack with arrows, Ziren specially asked Hu Shoubei to borrow a team of sword and shield fighters and lined up in front of the battle to concentrate on defending against arrows.

Seeing that the enemy in front of him entered the firing range, Ziren immediately led Ding Shoutie and the gods to open fire. After the cast was completed, he did not wait for the smoke to dissipate, and after counting five times in his heart, he ordered the gunner to launch a second wave of attacks. Due to the concern of the Mongol cavalry on the left and right flanks, the three-eyed gun was temporarily not used after being loaded in case of emergency.

Hu Yukun had long been eager to fight with the enemy, and when he saw that the firearms were all fired, the enemy was wounded and fell from his horse, and the formation was chaotic. Immediately led more than 20 cavalry under his command and rushed straight to the front of the enemy.

Ziren was worried that Hu's garrison would be caught by the Mongols and would be difficult to parry. Hurriedly and Shoutie put down the empty bird gun in their hands, changed the three-eyed gun and turned on the horse, and took the Wang brothers to attack behind Hu Fatzi.

As soon as the four of them rushed out of their own military formation, a foul smell wafted towards them. Ziren secretly scolded in his heart: "King Huf, why did you fart again, you dead fat man." ”
