I had already received the news from the Tanmalai newspaper, and on the city wall, led by the British Gong Zhang Mao, a group of generals looked at the Tatar army that was rolling like a torrent, and their faces showed solemn expressions.

After all, this time is different from the past, thinking that back then, during the years of Taizu and Chengzu, the Ming Dynasty could be said to have many elite soldiers and strong generals, and only killed the Meng Yuan forces to flee to Mobei, and at that time it was really a fight Meng Yuan did not dare to give birth to the idea of going south.

However, hundreds of years have passed, the Ming army has long been no longer as elite as it was during the founding of the country, several generations have passed, millions of Ming guards have already rotted to the bones, looking at the whole country, the army is almost negligible.

That is, there are still some soldiers to fight in the border towns.

If it weren't for Chu Yi's power to carry out drastic reforms in the capital camp, reorganize the Beijing camp army, and select a group of strong people, I am afraid that the Tatar army will come to the city, and there will not be many fighting troops in the capital.

Perhaps most of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital have never seen blood, but they are also strong who have been trained for more than a year, and I believe that as long as it is not the collapse of World War I, it only takes a few major battles to come down, and those who keep it will grow into qualified soldiers.

For example, Lu Dazhu, Cheng Xiangwu, Han Kun and others are also good generals who stand out in the army, although they have never fought with the Tatars, but these people do not have much fear of the Tatars.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and these people were promoted by Chu Yi from the army to their current status, although they dare not say that they are one step to the sky, but it is also an opportunity to change their lives.

If it weren't for Chu Yi's discerning eyes, I was afraid that they would be able to mix with a guerrilla general in their lives, and that would be luck.

Even if it is Han Kun, the battalion commander is only afraid that it is the pinnacle of his official position, and if he wants to take a step forward, he is afraid that it will be impossible for a lifetime without a big opportunity.

Looking at the approaching Tatar army below, the one who felt the deepest was the white-haired, armor-clad British Duke Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao couldn't help but think of the previous generation of British Duke Zhang Fu, who went out with Yingzong at the age of seventy or eighty, and was defeated in Tumu Fort in World War I.

Therefore, for Tatar, Zhang Mao has a deep hatred in his heart, but Zhang Mao also has a bit of solemnity in his eyes.

Don't look at him in front of the Son of Heaven as if he didn't put the Tatar army in his eyes, but Zhang Mao knew very well in his heart that the Tatar army should definitely not be underestimated.

At a glance, noticing the changes in the expressions of Han Kun, Lu Dazhu, Cheng Xiangwu and others, Zhang Mao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There are more than 100,000 troops in the capital, and what he can really mobilize can be said to be very small, and Chu Yi has already gathered the soldiers and horses in the capital after a series of means.

In addition to the orders of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the Son of Heaven, in the capital, even he may be difficult to mobilize more than a thousand people.

However, when Zhang Mao saw the reaction of Han Kun and the others, his original nervousness was put down a lot, there were more than 100,000 troops in the capital, as long as he was a general, there was absolutely no problem if he wanted to hold the capital.

Zhang Maorong has been riding all his life, what kind of wind and waves can be said to have not seen, he took a deep breath and looked at Han Kun and other generals and said: "Everyone, the Tatar army is coming to the city, and we are blessed with the emperor's grace, we should do our best to protect the capital to the death, are you willing to fight with this Tatar?" ”

"Fight, fight, fight, swear to defend Nanjing City!"

It seems to be under the influence of a group of generals, and on the city wall, a group of soldiers defending the city cheered loudly one by one.

The soldiers in the city were slightly stunned, and they also cheered closely, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses chanted together, which can be said to be earth-shattering, and almost the entire Beijing city was echoing with the shouts of a group of soldiers.

In the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao, who got the news, walked around the palace restlessly, looking outside the palace from time to time.

If it weren't for the persuasion of Gu Dayong, Cao Shaoqin and others, plus Jiao Fang personally took the cabinet ministers to accompany Zhu Houzhao in the palace, it would have been possible for Zhu Houzhao to leave the palace.

Zhu Houzhao walked around with an anxious look on his face and said, "I don't know if the Tatar army has arrived in the city at this time, and whether the British have already fought with the Tatars......"

Jiao Fang and other ministers persuaded Zhu Houzhao to wait for the result with peace of mind.

Suddenly, the earth-shattering shouts came, and even in the imperial city, everyone could hear them clearly.

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, listening to the shouts of the soldiers in front of him, and said with emotion: "Okay, good, I have such an elite soldier, what are the Tatars afraid of!" ”

However, it is said that the Tatar prince Balsborot led an army of nearly 100,000 people all the way to Beijing, and along the way, some villages that had no time to retreat were naturally destroyed.

Fortunately, the imperial court evacuated the villages around Gyeonggi first, and finally did not suffer from the scourge of the Tatars.

Balsborough looked at the huge city that perched like a beast on the vast land.

For the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, Baalsborough is actually no stranger, as the son of Dayan Khan, he has also been to Beijing several times.

However, only this time he came with a large army, towards the prosperity of the capital, compared to the bitter cold prairie, Balsborough naturally felt a little unwilling in his heart.

God treats the Han people so much, but their Tatar people have to be exposed to the wind and sun on the vast grassland, and even have to endure the threat from nature, a white plague, a tribe may disappear in the vast grassland.

In contrast, the prosperous Central Plains is simply a place of God's love.

More than a dozen generals of 100,000 households gathered around Balsborot, wearing thick leather robes, looking at the city that sat on the earth, it can be said that everyone's eyes were wide open, and their faces were full of shock.

On the prairie, a slightly larger tent is a huge wealth, as for the city, it is not at all, even if they have seen a lot of cities in the Central Plains along the way, but such a huge city as Beijing City is the only one they have seen.

The huge city sits on the ground, and just looking at it from a distance, I can't help but feel a little awe.

Taking a deep breath, Balsborough drove his horse forward, almost a stone's throw away, and the crowd stopped, only to hear Balsborough shouting at the city wall: "Listen to the Han officials on the city wall, this prince's army is here, you dare to fight!" ”

The Tatar generals around Balsborot laughed and looked extremely arrogant.

On the city wall, Han Kun first glanced at the British duke, stepped forward and shouted: "Listen, Tatars, if you dare to offend my Jingshi and offend the Tianwei of the Ming Dynasty, if you know each other, you will quickly retreat, otherwise, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the sword of the Ming generals!" ”

It was nothing more than a verbal battle, and while it was time to do so, Balsborough had already sent men and horses to gather and cut down trees in preparation for the construction of siege equipment.

Although it is said that before the Tatars arrived, the Ming had already cleared the surroundings first, but after all, the time was too short, and it was impossible to clear all the trees around it.

It won't be long before the Tatars will be able to make a batch of siege ladders, and as for the complex siege equipment, I am afraid that the Tatars do not have the ability to make them.

On the city wall, Lu Dazhu and Cheng Xiangwu instructed a group of gunners on the city wall to slightly adjust the artillery on the city wall, and aimed the artillery at the Tatar army under the city.

One by one, the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at the Tatar army below.

Seeing Zhang Mao waving his hand slightly, a famous gunner suddenly filled the prepared cannonball into the barrel.

Looking at the unsuspecting Tatar army below, Zhang Mao and other Ming generals showed a bit of disdain in their eyes.

These Tatars are really rampant, they are not even defenseless, although they are indeed in a position that is out of the reach of arrows, but they do not take the artillery of the Ming side to heart.

Of course, this also has a certain relationship with the power of artillery, which seems scary, but in fact it is more about demoralizing and boosting one's morale, and there are not many people who will really be killed by artillery.

Several newly forged artillery guns were aimed at Balsborough and the others, and almost half of the Tatar generals gathered around Balsborot, in addition to hundreds of Balsborough's personal guards.

Under this kind of protection, even if the Ming side opened the city gate and rushed out of a large army, it would definitely not be possible to threaten the safety of Baalsborot.

On the city wall, a general stepped forward and said to the British duke: "Qi Yu Guogong, the artillery is ready, and you can fire at any time!" ”

Han Kun, who was scolding the Tatars below, couldn't help but light up his eyes when he heard this: "Is the artillery ready?" So what are you waiting for, give Lao Tzu a hard bang, and everything will be fine if you kill this bullshit prince! ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, it was not so easy to kill Balsborough, after all, if the artillery wanted to bombard some people at a fixed point, it really depended on luck.

Before walking to the city wall, looking at Balsborough and the others under the city wall, Zhang Mao took a deep breath, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Open the cannon!" ”

Suddenly, the gunners lit the cannons one by one, and just watched the fuse burn, and in an instant it was like a thunderous roar.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of roars sounded almost together, even the city walls were shaken, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the Tatar army below was taken aback, and a part of the Tatar army at the front looked towards the city of Beijing almost reflexively.

After all, it is an army of nearly 100,000 people, and it is a big piece spread out, from the striker to the rearguard, at least a few miles away from the front and back, as a rearguard, at most it is just a muffled sound, but for the forward, it is like a thunderclap.
