Chapter 554: Attack

Since the extermination of Jiannu, the situation outside the whole Saiwai has changed.

The five Inner Khalkha Divisions, the Uliangha Division, the Eastern Tumut Division, the Nenkorqin Division, etc., were all attached to the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, they were attached to the Yizhou soldiers, and became the barrier and attachment of the Yizhou soldiers.

These tribes prospered more and more by relying on the lucrative wool trade, and with the support of the Uiju soldiers, their military strength was also greatly improved, such as half of the soldiers in the fried flower tribe were even equipped with muskets and hundreds of cannons.

Such a large-scale arming of the Mongols, many generals have raised questions, isn't this too upside down, once the Mongols have evil thoughts and betray the Yizhou soldiers, wouldn't they raise white-eyed wolves?

Zhang Ke gave a solution to this, first of all, firearms can be sold, but gunpowder and flowering shells are strictly controlled, basically only enough for the Mongols to fight a big war, so that they do not have the capital to turn their faces with the Yizhou soldiers, and at the same time, once the war is fought, it is necessary to purchase arms from the Ming army, which is a huge income.

In addition, Zhang Ke stipulated that the income from trade must be deposited in the bank, and they were naturally fine, but if they really turned their faces, their wealth would be frozen in an instant.

To be honest, these people on the steppe have long lost the ambitions of Genghis Khan's era, they just want to live comfortably, and cooperating with Zhang Ke is the best choice.

As for their biggest threat, it is Lin Dan Khan, who prides himself on being a descendant of the Golden Family.

In the past few years, there have been sporadic clashes in the desert, and to be honest, Lin Dan Khan's subordinates are far stronger in combat than the Mongol tribes in the south of the desert, and their troops are also stronger.

But what made him helpless was that the firearms of the Yizhou soldiers were too powerful, which doubled the combat power of the tribes, and as long as they fell into a fierce battle, the Ming army would quickly dispatch and beat them back to the desert. In this way, Lin Dan Khan did not get any benefits, on the contrary, he often lost his troops and generals.

Especially after Zhang Haichuan was awarded the title of Duke of Liao, his actions were bolder and more ruthless than Zhang Ke. He used all the methods used to deal with Jiannu on Lin Dan Khan.

Support the small tribe to sneak up on Lin Dan Khan. Divided troops to raid, constantly booby-trap, and sent men and horses, set fire to the grasslands, poisoned water sources, in short, used whatever means were vicious.

forced Lin Dan Khan to withdraw from the area of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and all the land occupied by the eastward migration was withdrawn.

……

Lin Dan Khan is not a fool, if it continues like this, it will not be a few years. When the Ming army completely digests Liaodong, it will send troops to conquer the desert, and it will be absolutely unpredictable at that time.

The pride in the blood of the golden family made Lin Dan Khan unwilling to sit still, and he swore to fight to the death.

Since the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Lin Dan Khan has been in constant contact with the Xitumite Department and the Ordos Department, both of which have also felt the strong pressure of the Ming army. In fact, even if there was no Ming army, the Mongolian tribes that naturalized the Yizhou soldiers would not let them go.

The reason is simple, the wool business is getting bigger and bigger, and there is an urgent need for more pastures and herders. Wouldn't they have attached themselves to Zhang Ke? Of course not, firstly, as a hegemon, how can they be subservient to others, and secondly, there are enough people under Zhang Ke. There is no room for them.

So far, there is only one way, and that is to fight to the death!

Coincidentally, at this time, Fan Yongdou's secret letter was sent, promising to help eradicate Zhang Ke as long as he could. They are willing to provide a qiē thing, grain, table salt. Silk, porcelain, as long as the bid code is made, absolutely unambiguous.

Lin Dan Khan counted with his fingers, the time, place and people were favorable, all three were accounted for, how could he let go of the opportunity, and immediately led 50,000 horses from his headquarters, plus the Ordos Department and the Xitumut Department, a total of 80,000 elite horsemen were concentrated, and they quickly went south.

When the army arrived at Guihua City, which was only two days away from Datong, Lin Dan Khan suddenly hesitated. He invited Huang Taiji Balt of the Ordos Department and Zhenuo Taiji of the West Tumert Department to come over, as well as Xiao Xu, the head of the White Lotus Sect who was originally in the Xuan Mansion.

They gathered together, and Lin Dan Khan frowned at the map.

"Xiao Xu, do you know the situation in Datong?"

Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then said frankly: "Great Khan, the small ones used to be active in Xuanfu, but if you want to come to Datong, it is also an important town on the nine sides, and the soldiers are well fed, plus Zhang Ke is personally in charge, if you want to attack it, it will take some effort." ”

Seeing that Lin Danhan's face was a little hesitant, Xiao Xu secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly said: "Great Khan, didn't Fan Yongdou say that he would help, plus the children of the White Lotus Sect, he will definitely be able to win easily." ”

"Humph!" Lin Dan Khan snorted contemptuously, obviously disapproving.

If Zhang Ke is so easy to deal with, Jiannu will not die completely.

"Fan Yongdou is just a businessman, they can't point to it." Lin Danhan's eyes wandered back and forth on the map, and suddenly he saw a place, and his eyes lit up.

"Hahaha, there's a way!"

Xiao Xu and the others hurriedly looked, only to see Lin Danhan's fingers fall on the Xuanfu......

The long and majestic Great Wall, covered with countless wind and frost sores, faithfully records the invasion of the enemy again and again, and bravely resists again and again.

"There is an enemy!"

The sentry of the Fort of Rejection stood on the beacon tower and looked into the distance, when suddenly a black and oppressive figure shocked him. Without hesitation, he hurriedly beckoned his companions and lit five wolf smokes, like sharp swords, into the sky.

Accompanied by wolf smoke, the cannon also sounded five times, representing the highest level of warning.

One dungeon fort set off wolf smoke, and the next one followed closely, and in an instant, along the Great Wall, all the way to the interior, on the battle line of hundreds of miles, the beacon fire was everywhere, and the wolf smoke was billowing out.

The people near the Great Wall had gained experience, and when they saw the wolf smoke, they hurriedly fled with their families to the nearby castle. And those soldiers who had not been trained for a long time barely carried their spears and short knives, and stood trembling at the head of the city, defending against the powerful opponents who were about to be killed.

While the various dungeons were preparing for battle, there were also elite horsemen galloping towards Datong and sending the news to Zhang Ke.

"Lord Wang, as expected." Lu Xiangsheng took the military newspaper and couldn't help but scold: "The Jin merchants really colluded with the Mongols, they can't be killed!" ”

Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Since it can be killed, then I will go and copy all their houses now and cut off their heads one by one." ”

"Don't mess around!"

Zhang Ke shouted angrily: "Pay attention to evidence in everything, the Jin merchants are deep-rooted, move them casually, chaos before the war, how can they fight?" ”

Zhang Feng and Lu Xiangsheng finally calmed down, and hurriedly said: "What the prince taught me is that I just want to deal with the Mongols now?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and it is not a big deal to forgive them."

Confidence comes from strength, and Zhang Ke successively transferred to Datong with 15,000 men and horses, including cavalry, infantry, chariot battalions, and more than 200 cannons.

With these horses and horses, plus the strong Datong City, even if there are 100,000 Tartars, Zhang Ke is not afraid of anything.

However, as the saying goes, people have missed horses and horses, when Zhang Ke was full of information, suddenly came the shocking news, the four places of Fort Refusal, Fort Zhuma, Fort Baoan and Fort Weilu were all lost, and the line of the Great Wall suddenly opened a gap of nearly fifty miles, and thousands of Tartars easily entered the Great Wall along the gap.

For a while, the rumors were loud, and the people from all over the country fled to Datong one after another, mixed with the people, and a large number of deserters, who flocked to Datong in a chaotic manner.

Governor Zhang Zongheng's hair was gray, and he personally patrolled the city every day, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"My lord, more than 500 people have fled here, and I ask you to decide."

"Well, let them all in, let them hurry up, don't waste time."

"Yes!"

The soldiers went down to inform them that in a short time the gates were opened, and the people outside rushed into the city, and when they had entered the city, the soldiers led them to the storehouse in the west city, where it was a temporary settlement.

Just halfway through, suddenly dozens of strong men among the refugees rushed out and killed the soldiers, poof, short knives stabbed into the body, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another. 、

A big man smirked, jumped on a tree stump on the side of the road in a few steps, and shouted: "Brothers of the White Lotus Sect, kill all the lackeys of the court and establish human bliss." No Biological Parents, Vacuum Family ......"

Before the last word could be pronounced, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and a ball of blood bloomed on his chest.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Before these White Lotus Sectists could figure out what was going on, gunshots rang out from all directions, and people kept being shot and fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere, so it was not miserable.

The gunshots in the city suddenly rang out, which frightened Zhang Zongheng and almost fell on his stomach, could it be that he put in the tartar, this is the end!

"Quick, follow this official down to the city!" Zhang Zongheng's voice became sharp and thin, revealing strong panic.

"No need."

Zhang Ke had already walked over with someone, and said calmly: "The miscellaneous pieces that have been mixed into the city will naturally be cleaned up, so let's deal with the enemies outside the city." ”

Zhang Ke raised his head sharply as he spoke, only to see the sky above Datong, the small red flag on the huge hot air balloon waving rapidly, indicating the arrival of the enemy...... (To be continued......)
