The big black horse galloped towards the entrance of the grassland surrounded by the guards, and Yue Tuo, who had just entered the market, saw the dense cavalry that appeared in the direction of the Zhangba grassland again, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He didn't know how many soldiers and horses surrounded Zhangjiakou, but now he was not afraid of more people, thinking that his 6,000 soldiers and horses were surrounded by 30,000 cavalry of Chahar and Alukarkha in the Zhangba grassland.
The Zhangjiakou bazaar has four circles of streets, nearly 2,000 houses, and the sudden influx of more than 5,000 cavalry is very crowded. Yue Tuo ordered the soldiers and horses to demolish the houses in the middle, and the obtained earth, stone and giant trees were carried to the outer gaps to build a horse rejection wall. Fearing that the operation would be discovered by Chahar, he only lit a few torches in the center of the market, and his soldiers were busy in the dark.
The Chahar cavalry on the periphery retreated ten miles back and set up camp, and Ezhe ordered most of the people to camp in the mountains and forests. Zhai Zhe went straight to Ezhe's station, and after meeting Ezhe, he asked, "Great Khan, how is the situation?" ”
"A Jurchen army of 5,000 soldiers and horses came from the Great Wall of Xuanfu and entered the set, and they were all trapped inside!" Ezhe was embarrassed to tell the truth.
Zhai Zhe instantly understood what he meant, and said, "It's okay, wait for the dawn to attack again!" ”
After a short time, the eastern sky began to white, and the outline of the Zhangjiakou market was displayed in front of everyone. In the last darkness before dawn, Yue Tuo built a large mound at the entrance to the market where he entered the market, so that the cavalry could not rush in.
Zhai Zhe rode around the set, and no one here knew the terrain of Zhangjiakou better than him. With so many soldiers and horses in such a small place, it was almost impossible to storm them. Unable to wield the impact of the cavalry, neither the Han cavalry nor the Mongols could defeat the Jurchens in a white-knuckle battle. He consulted with Ezhe for a moment, and then led his guards to leave Zhangjiakou and go from the grassland to Damingyang and Wei.
Bathing in the morning sun, Yue Tuo saw that the Mongols were cutting down trees on the surrounding mountains and transporting them to a place, so he wanted to build siege equipment there again. He was not worried about Zhangjiakou being breached, but it was always a big trouble for the Han and Mongols to go together, and the increasing decline of Mongolia was also due to the isolation from the Han world, but the appearance of Zhai Zhe changed the situation.
Yang and Wei.
Xiao Zhiyan followed closely behind Jiao Yuanbo every day, and he couldn't see his usual indifferent demeanor anymore.
"The Mongolian cavalry is here, it is the time to attack the Xuanfu Great Wall, why are the soldiers and horses of Xuanda not attacking!"
Jiao Yuanbo was not very bothered, and explained: "The Xuanda soldiers and horses are now in the hands of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the adults have their own opinions, and I can't do anything about it!" He talked to Zhang Fengyi twice, and seeing that Zhang Fengyi's attitude was getting weaker and weaker each time, he knew that Master Shangshu didn't want to attack, and he didn't dare to find himself boring. I heard that the imperial court ordered Zhang Fengyi to go to Xuanda and immediately lead troops and horses to Beijing to expel the Eastern Prisoners, but there was no movement.
At about noon, the soldiers and horses outside the Yanghe guard came to report: "A cavalry of 500 people has come from the direction of the grassland, claiming to be Han people from outside the Saiwai, and they want to see Lord Jiao or Lord Liang!" ”
Zhai Zhe didn't know that Liang Tingzhen had been removed from his post and was waiting for death.
Zhang Fengyi immediately remembered what Jiao Yuanbo had said to him, and ordered the guards to put Zhai Zhe in and summon Jiao Yuanbo to come.
Five hundred soldiers and horses could not enter the fortress, Zhai Zhe brought twenty personal soldiers into the gate of Yang Hewei, and walked to the governor's palace under the leadership of the defenders, and accidentally saw Xiao Zhiyan at the gate of the governor's mansion.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here!" Zhai Zhe shouted and stepped up to meet him, walked closer and lowered his voice and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Xiao Zhiyan smiled wryly and shook his head slightly. The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were urging, but Zhai Zhe couldn't talk deeply, so he dropped Xiao Zhiyan and entered.
When he entered the yamen of the mansion, Zhai Zhe saw a middle-aged man with a short beard sitting in the middle, and Jiao Yuanbo stood on the side, thinking that it was the governor of Xuanda, and stepped forward to greet him: "I have seen the governor!" ”
Jiao Yuanbo interjected and reminded: "This is not Governor Liang, it's Lord Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of War!" ”
"The Book of the Army!" Zhai Zhe was shocked in his heart, what kind of person was that, how could he see it here.
Jiao Yuanbo saw that Zhai Zhe didn't react for a long time, and secretly said: "I have told the adults what you think, now that Donglu is attacking the Jingshi, as long as Donglu can withdraw from the army, just say anything!" ”
These words were very clear, Zhai Zhe instantly understood what he meant, and said to Zhang Fengyi: "The Han and Mongols outside the Saiwai have been bullied by the Dongyu for a long time, and they think about revenge every day. At present, the Mongolian army of 40,000 has besieged the soldiers and horses left outside the fortress in Zhangjiakou, please work with the Ming soldiers and horses to get rid of the thieves! If the adults can send troops to recapture the mouth of the Xuanfu Great Wall, the Dongyu is worried that the back road will be cut off, and they will inevitably retreat. ”
Zhang Fengyi was taken aback, avoided the topic that Zhai Zhe said, and asked, "There are 40,000 soldiers and horses outside the Xuanfu?" ”
"Exactly!"
"If you can annihilate all the outsiders in the east, he will also be in a hurry to retreat!" Zhang Fengyi's small abacus is also very fine. He has spent his life in the court and study, never on the battlefield, before coming to Xuanda, he was still a little bold, and after seeing Liang Tingzhen's appearance, his fear of Dongyu rose suddenly, and he no longer dared to lead the army to fight. Under the imperial edict, he did not dare to stay in Xuanda all the time, and if the attack failed, he would inevitably be attacked by the official and admit his guilt, and the best result was to use the battle outside the Saiwai to force the Dongyu people to retreat.
"Dongyu is stubbornly defending Zhangjiakou, the soldiers lack soldiers and few armor, and the attack is not smooth! I'm here to beg for some tools! Zhai Zhe said his true intentions, and after seeing Xiao Zhiyan's reaction, he guessed that the Ming border army would not attack the mouth of the Xuanfu Great Wall, and he had to change his plan.
"Whatever you want, just ask!"
Zhai Zhe took out a list from his bosom and presented it, and said, "If it's convenient for the adult, can you let me take it away today, and the villain will do his best to break through Zhangjiakou." ”
Jiao Yuanbo stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take it and handed it to Zhang Fengyi.
Zhang Fengyi swept it, there was nothing excessive, it was all in the army, and then he agreed: "There is no problem." "As long as there is a glimmer of hope to get Dongyu to retreat, how can he be stingy with these things.
Two hours later, more than 20 mules and horses were escorted away from Yanghewei, and Zhai Zhe quickly whipped back to Zhangjiakou first.
Ezhe's cavalry should be tired of harassing him for a day, and these are the gifts he brought to the Jurchens. Although Zhangjiakou was built by the Jurchens, it was too small. He couldn't take it by force, but he had a way to force them out of the camp.
When Zhai Zhe returned to Zhangjiakou, he saw a series of grassland tents outside the mouth, and the soldiers and horses of the Chechen Khan had also arrived. Because of the marriage of Princess Ulan, there was some unhappiness between him and the Chechen Khan, and the two did not see each other, so he ignored the people of Mobei and galloped to Ezhe's station.
Half an hour later, Chahar's troops and horses were mobilized, leaving the road south to Xuanfu. Later, Ezhe came forward to select brave and combat-ready soldiers from each of the three divisions and gathered them in one place, and no one divided a piece of homespun cloth, waiting for orders.
When it was completely dark, more than 20 mules and horses arrived outside Zhangjiakou, and the Han soldiers and horses opened them, which were full of tung oil, gunpowder, rockets and other materials.

Under the moonlight, five hundred steps away from the Zhangjiakou market, an iron pot was set up, and tung oil was poured into it, Yue Tuo saw clearly the straight hair in his heart, and remembered the scene when the camp was broken by the Mobei people outside the naturalized city a few years ago, but at that time he built the camp with giant trees, and this time he has removed most of the roofs in the set in order to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past.
"The Mongols can still carry these things when they travel thousands of miles, can they?" A shadow arose in Yue Tuo's heart, the thing he was most worried about at that time.
Half an hour later, the first platoon of soldiers pushed the rushing cart made of daytime logging in front, and slowly moved in the direction of Zhangjiakou, followed closely by the three-eyed gunners of the Han Department. Sixty or seventy steps away from the Zhangjiakou market, rows of long arrows flew over in the darkness and were nailed to the wooden cart. The soldier stopped, mounted his spear on the wagon, and was on full alert.
Two hundred steps away, Zhai Zhe gave an order: "Ignite!" ”
Brilliant rockets like fireworks bloomed in the night sky and flew towards the Zhangjiakou market, the god rockets commonly used in the Ming army at that time involved a long distance, but the accuracy was extremely poor. These things are Zhang Fengyi's gifts, although they are not lethal, they are still very scary to use in the dark.
In the jaw-dropping gap of the Jurchens, the first row of rocketeers stepped forward and rushed behind the humble rushing carts, and then brighter rockets streaked across the sky and flew into the bazaar. Row after row of shooters went back and forth, Zhai Zhe didn't expect these rockets to kill many girls and real people, he just wanted to turn Zhangjiakou into a smoke pool.
"Firefighting! Fire! Yue Tuo shouted loudly, and the soldiers raised dust to cover the rockets around them. The sky was as bright as day, and one group of archers was tired and rested, and another group of archers stepped forward. Fortunately, Yue Tuo dismantled most of the houses so that the collection would not burn completely.
"Don't panic! Rockets can't hurt us! Yue Tuo forced his composure. No one with a fire on their head will be able to rest on their heads.
The rockets were still flying in the air, and as Yue Tuo said, rockets alone could not hurt the Jurchen centaurs, but the smoke in the collection was getting thicker and thicker, and the smoke from the burning of tung oil made the soldiers cough. Even though it was covered in earth and rock, the extinguished arrows were still emitting smoke.
Yue Tuo looked at the panicked soldiers around him, and had to order: "Attack!" Drive away the archers! ”
Five hundred horsemen rushed out of the bazaar and thundered at the archers who were close at hand. However, the earthen walls that Yuetuo had piled up to block the Mongol cavalry also blocked the footsteps of the war horses of the headquarters in an instant, and they could only lift them when they went around the bazaar, and they were faced with a simple and rough rush. Zhai Zhe created such a thing, hoping to delay the cavalry raid while blocking the Jurchen archers.
Under the light of the bright rockets, the Jurchen soldiers and horses could not hide their movements, and the Chahar cavalry, who had been waiting on the side, rushed forward head-on, and the two sides were entangled together. The foot soldiers behind the chariot raised their spears, threatening the occasional approaching knight, and Meng Kang held a short axe and led the three-eyed gunners to stand by.
Ezhe waited for an hour, saw that although the Zhangjiakou collection did not ignite a fire, it was also shrouded in smoke, and ordered: "Attack!" ”
The knights, selected from the three divisions, dipped strips of cloth in water around their mouths and noses, rode their horses into the bazaar, and rockets were still flying in the sky. (To be continued)
