The offensive and defensive battles in Datong were much more fierce than both sides imagined.

Dayan Khan felt that Zhou Shangwen's ministry was not there, so he wanted to fight a battle to fight his military might, so that if he went deeper, no Ming army would dare to attack them easily.

And Chang Dacheng has been sharpening his sword for a few years, since the new monarch ascended the throne, firearms, soldiers, and training are very different from before, all the preparations are at this moment, where can you easily admit defeat,

Moreover, these generals from professional backgrounds have a deeper defense of Hanyi in their hearts.

With the emperor's trust, he has no shortage of glory and wealth, so it is impossible for the enemy to surrender him, and then there is the defense of Hanyi, and it is even more impossible for him to be greedy for life and afraid of death, especially if there is a brother who has died at the hands of the Tatars.

So what I didn't say was to fight, stay up and fight!

Bars and Grutai led their troops to attack Wuding Gate and Yanghe Gate respectively, and the flints thrown by the Tatars were like chains of death.

Chang Dacheng saw the casualties caused by these siege weapons, but he didn't care about them, because the Tatar soldiers had already wanted to climb the city wall with a ladder.

The Tatar soldiers were also more courageous than expected, and they advanced against artillery fire at any cost.

Of course, the soldiers defending the city of Datong are the same as their lives, and the artillery, bows and arrows are also asking for their lives, although it is difficult for the dense soldiers to kill all of them with these weapons, but even those Tatar soldiers who began to climb, the Ming army will not let go, and the oil and stones are constantly thrown downward. Even if a few people did come close to climb the city wall, the Ming army would rush up and surround them.

It's just a city wall, not to mention the urn city behind it. The so-called urn city, that is, the city within the city, is equivalent to you breaking through the city gate, and there is a city gate behind it, and within this space is a closed city wall in the shape of a mouth.

The defenders are on the city walls, and after the enemy enters the city gate, unless the second gate is quickly breached, as many people as they come will be shot here.

To put it bluntly, it is to build a 'very shallow well' here at the gate of the city, and the name of the urn city is obtained as the meaning of catching turtles in the urn.

This is all the method of defending the city that has been constantly improved after many years of war.

In some important cities, there will be several urn cities in a row, turning the 'mouth' into 'sun', and there are defenders on the side, how can you survive if you rush to this inside?

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to conquer Datong by this kind of simple siege.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Dayan Khan immediately ordered the troops to withdraw to reduce unnecessary casualties.

On the second day, Dayan Khan drove the Ming people captured in Yanghe and various villages, and the artillery, bows and arrows were not long-sighted, and they would be killed together.

For generals who are accustomed to seeing life and death, it is okay to really order to kill them together, and to be ruthless.

But the key is the impact on the morale of the soldiers defending the city, if their own people can be killed, then why is this battle fought? It may not even be possible to say whether there are relatives of some of the soldiers in this.

The Tatars were not very good at sieges, but they were cruel, so it was not the first time that they had used this method.

Chang Dacheng had seen this kind of battle in the military academy before, and he looked up at the soldiers on both sides, and sure enough, there were many people with hesitation on their faces, and there was a trace of confusion in their eyes.

"In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Wara also knocked on the gate of Datong with the army of heaven, and at that time, the generals and soldiers who defended the city never opened the city gate in order to protect Datong! The Son of Heaven is like this? How much more about the people? If the city gate is broken, who else in the city will survive?! More people will die! This first arrow will be shot in the future! ”

It was too late, but I heard a whoosh, and the black arrow feathers flew downward, and then under the city wall, a white-haired old woman fell in response!

Chang Dacheng stood in everyone's sight and shouted awe-inspiringly: "Murderer, Chang Dacheng!" In order to ensure that Datong is not lost! Bao Daming Jiangshan Sheji is not lost! If anyone wants revenge, come to me! ”

The generals took the lead, and the other soldiers were no longer soft.

As a result, such a shot startled the undefended Tatar army below.

Dayan Khan, who was in the distance, saw that the situation was like this, and although he was not convinced, he could only order the troops to withdraw again.

At the same time, a thought also rose in my heart: Datong is so difficult to fight, and I am afraid that this trip must go to fight the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty will not have a good result.

"Back then, Wara also captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty first, and also wiped out the elite of the Ming army in Tumu Fort. But only a month later, he lost his armor under the capital of the Ming people, and suffered heavy losses, why do you think? ”

Dayan Khan has a fleshy face and a fierce light in his eyes, but he just looks at Han, in fact, under the care of Mandu Haihatun, he is not the kind of martial artist who does not use his brains.

"I also underestimated the enemy too lightly, thinking that I had the chance to win. In fact, the first battle of Tumubao was mainly due to the stupidity of the Ming army. ”

"And what about our trip?" Dayan Khan said in a deep voice: "The little emperor of the Ming army, although he is still a doll, is more hostile to the grassland than his father, in the past few years, we have watched him prepare for war, and even openly shouted that he wants to make the complex a national policy!" This year, the mutual market began to be blocked, how are we going to fight this battle?

According to Ben Khan's observations, we should not be too optimistic because we have not been able to defeat Beijing under that advantage. Therefore, in this war, the Beijing division is not within our goal, but the Beijing division is going to go, first, to loot goods, livestock and people, secondly, to swear combat power, to force the Ming court to stop the blockade and conduct mutual trading with us, and third, to eliminate the elite troops prepared by the Ming army in recent years, and to pull out the minions of the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Zhou Shangwen, if you want to get this purpose, this Beijing still has to go, only by going there, Zhou Shangwen will panic and find it difficult to calm down.

In Ben Khan's view, the biggest mistake was to give the Ming court more than a month to prepare after the battle of Tumubao, otherwise in the case of the loss of the elite, where would the Ming army have the strength to defend the Beijing division? Ladies and gentlemen, eight days have passed since we attacked Yanghe and Datong, and in eight days, the little emperor must have received the battle report, and all kinds of preparations will definitely begin. The Qinwang army from all over the country may also set off in the next few days, in other words, we can't delay too long in Datong.

Bars, Grutai, tomorrow is the last day to attack the city, no matter how well it doesn't go well, Ben Khan will not wait for you any longer, the whole army will march south, and take the same path that was taken back then! ”

For the steppe peoples, Warat Taishi is also a figure in the past hundred years.

How did you do it, anyway, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was arrested, and in the battle of Tumubao, how many high-ranking generals and officials of the Ming Dynasty were killed?

……

……

At this time, among the Jingshi.

Zhu Houzhao returned to the harem after a day of exhaustion.

He had already made arrangements for the war, such as silver, food, troops, people, and additional troops.

Judging from the historical memories he had of later generations, Datong was breached, which was not something he expected, and he did not think that Dayan Khan could do it.

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, Datong seems to have never been attacked by foreign enemies, and was finally destroyed from the inside.

After all, this is one of the nine important towns.

But Datong must not be able to stop Dayan Khan.

The current situation is somewhat similar to the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, when I also received news that Datong was attacked.

Then the orthodox emperor announced the imperial conquest.

It's really the ancestor buried in the pit, if it weren't for this incident, he would still be able to lead the troops out with his brains, and now forget it, so it's not that he wants to hide in the harem at this time, but only in the deep palace.

He didn't do anything, and the courtiers were at ease.

To put it mildly, many ministers have been silently guarding against him.

Of course, there is another reason.

The two nobles of Yongshou Palace are about to give birth.

Both of them had a body at the end of last year, and they were pregnant in October, and if they could give birth to a prince, it would actually be a boost to their momentum.

So as the time got closer and closer, Zhu Houzhao became more concerned.

Doctor Kwai Er is even more inseparable now, and she and her senior sister Xin Hui are guarding in the Yongshou Palace from morning to night.

The harem does not interfere in the affairs of the court, but at present, the news of the war in the capital is full of turmoil in the city, and they are all aware of it, and the emperor's state is visibly tired.

Huai Xiao and Huai Yan couldn't help but feel distressed, and they also reminded the emperor to pay attention to the dragon body from time to time when they met.

Zhu Houzhao is actually okay, he is young, just a little tired is nothing, "The happy event is approaching, I am happy in my heart." Out of the way. ”

"The Ming Imperial Army is victorious, and the two nobles will add dragons to Your Majesty, which is a double happiness...... Oh, no, it's coming. Congratulations to Your Majesty. ”

Kwai Er should not read much.

Zhu Houzhao's face was weird, and he corrected: "The imperial army is not good. The Ming army is good. Dr. Kwai Er must have only read medical books, and did not read any books on the side. ”

Huai Xiao smiled lightly, the Son of Heaven had to fight with this doctor several times, which was interesting, but if you really want to laugh, it is actually difficult to laugh happily, there is always one thing in my heart.

Huai Xiao touched his bulging belly and said, "The concubine and sister are both married to Your Majesty, and our lives have long been connected to Your Majesty. It's a pity that His Majesty's military affairs are becoming more and more heavy, but the concubines can't share His Majesty's worries. ”

"If you take good care of your body, you will be worried about me."

"The concubine just wants Your Majesty to know that the two concubines and sisters are willing to share the ups and downs with Your Majesty in this life and this life. Speaking of which, I heard Dr. Kui'er say that the delivery period is approaching, and the concubine wants to tell His Majesty that there is no need to worry about our sisters at any time, military affairs are important, and the country's society is important. ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't say that he was not moved, at least when he encountered difficulties, someone finally comforted him.

"I know."
