Old White Bull: I'm going home, and from tomorrow, I'll resume normal updates. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't know what's going on today, my whole body is weak, and I am dizzy.

……

The action army, the mighty, the cavalry, they divided the road, Wen Fangliang's left battalion army, along the Huailaiwei north, over the civil fort, the chicken song, Xuanfu town, straight to Zhangjiakou.

The generals of the Jingbian Army, Li Guangheng, Gao Shiyin, Zhong Xiancai, and Han Chao, accompanied by Li Yunshu and Wang Zheng, led the army directly to Huailai City to turn west, Yuejinshan Fort, Black Mountain Fort, Meiyusuo, and Taohua Fort, and went to Ulzhou.

Then they divided their troops into two routes in Ulzhou, Zhong Xiancai and Wang Zheng went to Datong, Li Guangheng, Gao Shiyin, Han Chao, and Li Yunshu, Yue Ulzhou City, Guangling County, Lingqiu County, Pingxingguan, etc., and went directly to Taiyuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion.

The Jingbian army dispatched a total of about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest were the elite cavalry of Datong Town or Shanxi Town, they were like thunder, and the guards and generals were all stunned, and a thought came to mind that something big had happened, and Xuanda was going to change the sky.

The iron cavalry galloped, Wen Fangliang's left battalion army, along the Yanghe River, passed through the south pass of Xuanfu Town, many officials and civilians climbed the city wall, and looked at the cavalry like a torrent in the distance with a cold heart, spreading from the south, and the fiery red flag fluttered in the cold wind.

In the eyes of the people on their own side, it naturally greatly boosts morale, and in the eyes of the hostile people, it is a shock and deterrent, and it is indeed an elite border army, even the most elite Jingbian army in the border army.

The cavalry continued to pass through the official road outside the city, and the iron hooves hit the hard earth, that kind of momentum, it seemed to destroy everything, many people looked at each other and looked at the direction they were running, it was Zhangjiakou!

Yongning Hou Wang Dou. Are you really going to do it? How daring is he? The sky is blue and the sun is white, and the army is going to fight?

The Jingbian Army came too quickly and too suddenly. The city is strong, businessmen, officials, and even the valley king's mansion. After receiving the news, it was all chaos, and many people were shouting angrily. The governor and the town guard army are not going to the east road, they can't be dissuaded, or are they in the same stream as Wang Dou?

In the panic, only Zhang Guowei muttered: "I know that Wang Dou, a thief, will not give up." ”

At the same time, I was glad that I didn't participate in this business war. He had a hunch that this incident would be very troublesome, and a lot of people would die and shed a lot of blood.

Wen Fangliang's Ma Bujun. When they passed through Xuanfu Town, they did not stop, directly crossed Shaling Fort, Ningyuan Station Fort, forced to Zhangjiakou, all the way over, countless people were alarmed, but they did not react, the rolling cavalry torrent, has rushed forward.

In the afternoon, before the hour, Wen Fangliang and his entourage, in the cold wind, faintly saw Zhangjiakou Fort sitting on the plain and surrounded by three mountains in the distance.

The limit of the cavalry, about a day and night march of 300 miles, generally a day to run 200 miles, although the weather is cold, the east road to Zhangjiakou, almost more than 100 miles away, Wen Fangliang's left battalion, not to mention the professional cavalry, but the Jingbian army is well-trained, they still arrived at the outside of Zhangjiakou Fort in the afternoon of the same day, only artillery, slightly behind when marching.

When a few miles away from the fort, Wen Fangliang looked out a little on the side of a hill on the east bank of the river, Xuanfu Nanping Jingshi, dug the desert later, strangled the danger of the Yong on the left, and the solid in the clouds on the right, Zhangjiakou was to defend the Xuanfu and defend the throat of Hu Qi to the south, so the castle was also built very strongly.

The city is located on the west bank of the Qingshui River, Xuande four years, the commander made Zhang Wenchu build the fort, Thursday, the city wall is two feet five feet high, the location of the castle, is the "fort" in the urban area of Zhangjiakou in the later generations.

Chenghua 16 years, outside the north wall of Zhangjiakou Fort, and build the city one, Friday, the city wall is two zhang high, Jiajing eight years, command Zhang Zhen to rebuild the castle, improve the layout, Wanli nine years, the local guards, and repair the city wall and the tower, all the bricks.

The final Zhangjiabao, two forts in one, a fort within a fort, a bit similar to the layout of Shunxiang Fort.

"There are two gates in Zhangjiakou, the east is called Yongzhen Gate, and the south is called Cheng'en Gate, all of which have urn city ......"

The speaker was a handsome young man, less than thirty years old, with a thick Hebei accent, named Liu Jun, who was a spy under the command of the Intelligence Department, who had worked in Zhangjiakou for a long time, and also served as the steward of the local businessman, so he knew the local situation very well.

At this time, he was dressed in Confucian costumes, which was also a disguise for his identity, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, scholars have always been respected, bringing convenience to various actions.

Hunting the cold wind, he had fluttering sleeves, a heavy white breath in his mouth, pointed to a map on the big maza, and explained in detail to Wen Fangliang and others: "...... The whole castle is long from east to west, short from north to south, with 58 piers on the outer side, 31 piers on the fire road, and the inner extinguishing platform and other pole ......"

He said: "The houses in the city circle, many Wucheng Street, Beiguan Street, Dongguan Street, Xiguan Street and other places outside the inner fort, Jiadian is scaled, along the length of four or five miles, all lines of trading shops, merchants compete for residence...... At the southeast corner of the city wall, there is the Kuixing Pavilion, the highest in the city, and the garrison office in the fort is built in your honor. ”

“…… The collapse of the house, many places in the north of the fort, many or rent the official warehouse, and, Xiaobai Mountain, as well as the Taiping Mountain not far from the Dajing Gate, there are also quite a lot of businessmen collapsed houses, the intelligence obtained, these collapsed houses, stored a lot of grain and rice, silk, cotton flowers, tea, salt and other commercial goods. In the battle of Liaodong, the thieves and slaves were defeated, and a lot of grain and grass were needed, and the goods in these collapsed houses seemed to be the profiteers who were ready to be transported to the territory of the thieves and slaves at the request of the thieves and slaves......"

Wen Fangliang snorted coldly, the soldiers were fighting bloody battles in the front, but these businessmen were dragging their feet in the rear, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, they were really innocent.

He used a clairvoyant mirror to look at Zhangjiabao not far away, before the action, the sentry battalion and the intelligence department had already informed Zhangjiakou's intelligence properly, but when he looked at the documents, there was always no field, and he saw it with his own eyes and was very accurate.

Perhaps, to those Dun soldiers, what they prevented was that it was only the Tartars in the north, and the town army from the south, everyone didn't know whether to set off wolf smoke.

After all, for those small soldiers of the Dun Army, the movements of the top are too far away from them, and it is impossible for them to understand and make appropriate responses.

Along the way, not to mention the speed of everyone's reaction, they sent messengers after being alarmed to communicate with each other, and there were also Jingbian troops who did not accept it at night to intercept, leaving Wen Fangliang and others more time to deal with it.

It's almost the wax moon, and it's the golden time of business, in Wen Fangliang's clairvoyant mirror, Zhangjiakou Fort on the west bank of the Qingshui River, that side, whether it is the east gate or the south gate, is full of businessmen and boats coming and going, showing that business is very prosperous.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 30 large commercial cities in the country, Shanxi occupies Taiyuan, Pingyang, Puzhou three, there are Pingyang, Ze, Lu rich people in the world, not hundreds of thousands do not call the rich said, Zhangjiakou Fort is the center of commercial smuggling in the border area, prosperous is not lost in Pingyang, Puzhou and other places.

At present, there is a peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the fort, and some people inside have no idea that a catastrophe is coming.

After reading the map, and recruiting the camp lieutenant general and Zanhua to discuss slightly, look at the front of a few miles, there is a pontoon bridge, leading directly to the east of Zhangjiakou Fort Yongzhen Gate, the river is not wide or deep, now it is a cold winter, the whole Qingshui River, has been frozen, but the ice is slippery, Wen Fangliang of course will not have a bridge not to go, but to take the river ice.

According to the strategic arrangement in front of the matter, he quickly ordered: "There is no prevention in the fort, this is the soldiers of the Qinglong Battalion who God helps me, Mr. Sun Qian, Mr. Tian Qian, the two of you immediately led the first-class army in the department to cross the pontoon bridge, and seize the Yongzhen Gate in the east and the Chengen Gate in the south with lightning speed, so as to control the situation of the castle for my rear army!" ”

The front of the left battalion and the two thousand commanders on the left side led the order loudly, and immediately led the troops in the department to run, they rode their horses and galloped, and soon, they ran across several miles of official roads, and a group of cavalry rumbled across the bridge.

At this time, the pedestrians and merchants outside the fort started a commotion, and they all shouted in a panic: "It's time to pass the army." ”

"There are officers and soldiers coming, and they are guest soldiers."

One by one, they dodged, and a piece of chickens and eggs were beaten.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not good, and they killed good people casually, and robbing property was just a trivial matter, so it was no wonder that they were terrified.

Fortunately, these cavalry did not pay attention to them, as long as they did not swagger in the middle of the road and block their way, they were fine.

After all, the sun, moon and wave flags of the Jingbian Army, the eight-petal hat and iron-pointed helmet, and the young and strong elite soldiers of the same color are too easy to recognize, and the equipment and temperament are too unique, and there are more rumors.

The Jingbian army is in good discipline, and the pedestrians have heard a lot and are a little relieved, but they suddenly came to Zhangjiakou, and they still rode out...... After the cavalry, there was inevitably discussion and speculation all over the ground, and some of the merchants in it were pale, of course they knew about the East Road, and they didn't expect Yongning Hou to retaliate so quickly.

For a moment, they looked in the direction of the fort, and their hearts were full of anxiety.

"The follow-up army will follow!"

After the two thousand generals led the first-class army to run, Wen Fangliang continued to command, and subconsciously looked at the southwest direction, although the general arranged for him to come to Zhangjiakou, not directly to the lair of the profiteers, but to raid their smuggling dens and obtain their wealth and shops, it is also a pleasure.

……

"Where are the officers and soldiers? I didn't receive a message......"

Zhangjiakou Fort garrisoned Gao Jinzhong, and at this time it happened to be on the Kuixing Pavilion in the southeast corner of the city wall.

This pavilion is used for the hope tower and the Wanghuo Tower, and because Kuixing is the first star in the Big Dipper, it belongs to one of the twenty-eight Kuisu, which dominates the rise and fall of Wenyun, so Gao Jinzhong will go to Kuixing Pavilion for a walk if he has nothing to do, look at the wind, have a bird's-eye view of the whole city, and at the same time, there is also the meaning of dyeing some Wenyun.

Right now, he looked blankly at the other side of the Qingshui River, and there were many cavalry rushing in the black, especially their momentum, which made people feel chilled at first sight.

At first, Gao Jinzhong also hoped that those cavalry would go north directly, and then he saw those cavalry rolling across the pontoon bridge, seeing that their purpose was their own Zhangjiakou Fort.

He muttered to him, not only him, but also the entourage around him who was at a loss for what to do, and did not know what to do. (To be continued.) )
