Thank you for the encouragement of Shujian-Xiao, Kunlun Cangsheng, Decline Dynasty 2, and eating Chinese cabbage raw, and thank you here!

I had long known that all the infantry troops brought by the Southern Barbarian Emperor were infantry, and he also scattered the infantry into Xuanfu and Datong in exchange for cavalry, what a stupid idea! I can't help but want to laugh out loud.? Although there are more than 100,000 cavalry of the Southern Barbarian Border Army, which can be scattered in various passes and fortresses, as scouts or temporarily gathered as firefighting teams, it is not easy to gather these more than 100,000 cavalry together? If it is a warrior on the grassland, as long as the royal court calls for it, it will be instantaneous, do you still think that you southern barbarians can compare to the eagles on our grassland?

He also smiled proudly and looked at the civil fort in front of him, which was known as the "Three Great Forts of Jingbei".

Compared with Yanghekou, Tumubao is obviously precipitous and insufficient, there are no peaks to rely on around, there is a river in the east, and there are continuous peaks in the north, stretching from west to east. Whether it is a river or a mountain peak, it is seven or eight miles away from this civil fort. More than 30 miles southeast of Tumubao is the right guard of Yanqing, could it be that this Southern Barbarian Emperor has any intentions? There must be some intention, otherwise why did they pass through Huailai City and not enter, and run more than ten miles through Huailai to come to this civil fort? What does this Southern Barbarian Emperor want to do?

30,000 cavalry, as well as more than 20,000 slave troops led by Borjin Tengbo who sent food to catch up, and more than 50,000 horse-drawn company battalions surrounded Tumu Fort.

also looked at the cavalry first, galloping in the battalion, the noise shook the sky, and the surrounding area of the civil fort, except for the fluttering of various flags, was lifeless. I couldn't help but have a proud look on my face, and the cowardly southern barbarian met the warriors of the grassland. Can only be a turtle with a shrunken head! With me, a warrior who is a hundred, more than 50,000 people are not afraid of your 500,000 people, even if you have any schemes. So what?

Polo Timur and Boyan Timur and many handsome young men rode horses on both sides of the caravan, and they all looked at the fluttering dragon flag on the Tumu Fort with great interest.

Boyan Timur frowned, feeling very uneasy, so he turned his head and asked Zarba next to him: "Is there any news from Tanma?" ”

When Zarba saw that Boyan Timur asked about this, he hurriedly replied: "The Tanma has been released for hundreds of miles around, and all the military towns and forts of the Southern Barbarians have closed their gates and dare not go out. ”

Boyan Timur nodded. Looking back at the position of the Ming army in front of Tumubao, he continued: "The Taishi is very kind to you, and he specially ordered you to take charge of the exploration horse. It is to give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so that you can share more gains after this battle, so as to reward your clan's losses this time, I hope you can be cautious. ”

Zarba thanked him again and again.

"We went deep into the interior of the Southern Barbarians this time. The surrounding area is surrounded by the army of the Southern Barbarians. This marshal expects that the army of the southern barbarians will make a move, and you must provide information in time so that the Taishi can decide to stay in time. Boyan Timur raised his hand to interrupt Zarba's words.

Polo Timur said with a smile: "Second brother, why worry about it, the southern barbarians have already broken their courage. What's more, in addition to the water in the south and the mountains in the north, the east and west are all flat rivers, even if the southern barbarians make a move, what can they do with us? ”

Boyan Timur nodded. said: "The third brother's words are good, even so. We can't go wrong if we are careful! ”

Polo Timur knew that his second brother had always been careful, so he didn't say anything anymore.

I also heard the words of Boyan Timur in the caravan first, and nodded slightly, my second brother's cautious personality just made up for the second brother's shortcomings, he was not as brave as the third brother, but his wit was better than the third brother. With two younger brothers of the same mother by his side, he will definitely be able to capture the Southern Barbarian Emperor alive this time.

"Order, let Bol Jin Teng Bo Shuai 10,000 Lifu attack Simon! Give him his original 3,000 soldiers! ”

As soon as he heard the sound of the caravan, the soldiers next to him quickly raised the black flag embroidered with a white bear, blew the horn, and several horns rolled around......

Jin Liang and Chen Ji, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, Sui Anbo Chen Xun, Xiuwu Bo Shen Rong, Taining Hou Chen Ying, Duwei Jingyuan, as well as Governor Wu Keqin, Governor Liang Cheng, Wang Gui and others, stood on the tower of Tumubao City, looking at the stretching tile barracks.

Li Zhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, said worriedly: "General Jin, the emperor refused to leave that day, and now this outside is surrounded by the thieves of Yexian, and we only have 27,000 people, how is this good?" ”

Jin Liang smiled slightly, turned around and bowed to Li Zhen and said slowly: "Don't worry, uncle, although there seem to be a lot of people outside, according to the information sent by the detective horse, the tile thorn dog is estimated to be only 50,000 horses. ”

50,000 is not much, isn't it? Our Ming Dynasty didn't fight with the Watters several times more than them, how could it have been like this? Li Zhen shook his head with a wry smile and said, "General Jin doesn't know anything......

Chen Ji hurriedly interrupted Li Zhen's words and said: "What does Uncle want to say, we know that since the emperor is determined to fight with Yexian here, we, as courtiers, can only be here and Yexian." ”

Where is this point of high and low? It's like sending you to death! Li Zhen didn't dare to say this, after all, it was a holy order promulgated by the emperor himself to be in this place!

Everyone could only look at each other, looking at their own positions outside the fort with bitter faces. Looking at the position, I felt a slight sense of security in my heart.

The castle is a ship-shaped castle, the fortress is about 500 meters long from north to south, about 1,000 meters long from east to west, and the city wall is about 6 or 7 meters high. Because there are the Fu River and Luoshan in the north and south, there is no city gate and no city tower is built, and there are two city gates at the east and west ends, and the city tower is built on it.

At this time, five trenches about five feet wide and about five or six feet deep had been dug in the perimeter of the outer walls of the civil fort. There are three longitudinal ditches connected in each direction between the trenches and the trenches, and there is a distance of about sixty or seventy zhang between the annular trenches. Only 7,000 soldiers and horses were left in the fort, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers were all stuffed into the circular trench.

Jin Liang turned around, faced the uncles and governors behind him, and said with a smile: "Uncles and governors, although there are only more than 20,000 people and horses outside our fort, although this arrangement is not ironclad, but it is difficult to attack first, without laying the corpses of the thorn dogs outside, it is difficult to touch the walls of our civil fort first!" ”

Governor Wu Keqin couldn't help but ask, "General Jin." The Governor of Pontus had some questions and wanted to ask General Jin to clear his doubts. ”

"Governor Wu has something to say, please speak?" Jin Liang hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed and said.

"This thunder is a one-time weapon, and we also have it in Yanqing Prefecture. As far as the governor of Pontus knows, this thunder needs to be pulled with a rope, why don't you see the general's subordinates leaving ropes, it is because you bury the ropes under the soil when you bury the mines, if so, once the tile thorn iron rides up, the rope will not be easy to pull. Not to mention. The thunder of this dynasty is not as powerful as the thunder in the Chengzu period, and it has been buried in the ground for several days, and it is also a question of whether it can be exploded if it is damp. ”

Jin Liang raised his body. said: "The thunderbolt we carried this time has been transformed by the Gunpowder Bureau, and moisture-proof is no longer a problem, and as for pulling it with a rope, it is not necessary." ”

Wu Keqin couldn't help but be stunned. When did this happen? Why didn't the border army know? Isn't the new type of weapon developed by the Gunpowder Bureau a priority for the supply of border troops?

Seeing Wu Keqin's face, he was worried. Jin Liang knew what he was thinking. Busy said: "The governor doesn't know, these thunderbolts are still unstable, so they can't be provided to the border army, this time they also suddenly attacked the border first, the emperor drove the expedition in person, and the gunpowder bureau was accompanied by personnel, so he brought these thunderbolts, mainly to test the stability of these thunderbolts." It was only used in this civil fort. ”

Hearing Jin Liang say this, Wu Keqin's face changed slightly. Then he said, "Pontus is just asking a question. ”

Jin Liang knew that Wu Keqin still had some ninety-nine in his heart, so he hurriedly made some foreshadowing and said: "This time I brought not only the transformed firearm of thunder, but also the thunderbolt, as well as the transformed artillery and three-eyed gun. The specific lethality is not yet known, and it can only be seen after the start of the war. ”

And so much goodies? Wu Keqin suddenly became excited, and hurriedly asked, "Does General Jin know when the emperor is going to equip the border army?" ”

"This ......, Xia Guan really doesn't know."

Wu Keqin couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Li Zhen hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Governor Wu doesn't need to be discouraged, the emperor has his own plan, so why worry about us as courtiers." ”

Seeing Xiang Chengbo speak, Wu Keqin hurriedly said yes.

Suddenly, the horn sounded on the other side of the thorn.

Li Zhen couldn't help but say, "The Tile Thorns have begun to attack. General Jin, the emperor is in charge of the military with you, and we are just watching the battle, and you are tired below. ”

Jin Liang hurriedly bowed his hand, turned around to face the outside, took out the binoculars from his arms, and looked at the outermost trench position under the curious eyes of everyone......

This time, the tile spurs launched a tentative attack, mainly in the direction of the west gate tower of the civil fort. The dense foot soldiers rushed towards the position outside the west gate of the civil fort.

Tong Hang smiled slightly: "Be careful first!" He actually abandoned his own cavalry and used slave foot soldiers to go into battle, thinking that what could be found out in this way? ”

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, put down the telescope in his hand and said: "The emperor doesn't know, this second brother Boyan Timur can also be regarded as a wise general, and he has adopted his wisdom first. If it is also the first or his third brother Polo Timur, it should be a tactic of charging with iron horses, assisted by a rain of arrows, and then crushed by slave foot soldiers! ”

Tong Hang nodded and said, "No matter what tactics he uses, my civil fort will definitely be nailed here for more than half a month!" What I am worried about is not when I will be able to capture the civil fort first, but how long the grain and grass in my civil fort can last! ”

When everyone heard the emperor's words, they couldn't help but put down the binoculars in their hands and looked over. Wang Ji and Kuang Kun, the secretary of the military department, couldn't help but be stunned and glanced at each other.

Wang Ji hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are only 27,000 people in the civil fort. ”

"How?" Tong Hang turned his head to look at Wang Ji and asked, "Could it be that Wang Qing's family thinks that more than 20,000 people can't hold the civil fort?" ”

Wang Ji chuckled in his heart, not knowing how to answer. said that he couldn't keep it, wouldn't that be against the emperor? said that he could keep it, with his eyes open, how could he dare to talk nonsense in front of everyone's eyes?

Everyone also looked at each other. More than 20,000 people want to defend this small place of civil forts, how easy is it to say? There are more than 30,000 elite horsemen and more than 20,000 slave troops, and I heard that there are still tens of thousands of horses moving in the direction of Datong, how can this battle be fought?

Tong Hang saw everyone's expressions as if they were mourning, and didn't explain anything, but said confidently: "Everyone, Aiqing, wait and see, just see how I break the wings of the eagle on the grassland!" ”

Seeing the emperor's words so conclusive, everyone was suspicious, so they had to close their mouths and explore each other with their eyes, but in the end, no one could know where the emperor's confidence came from, and even Wang Ji, who was closest to the emperor, only shook his head slightly when he saw everyone's eyes......
