Wang Gao was also stunned and looked at Xiao Feng blankly. Yang Zhao pinched the chopsticks in his hand, he didn't know what he had clipped, he just put it in his mouth, thinking in his heart that he didn't know if he was going to drop the cup today.

Xiao Feng raised his wine glass and took a sip and looked at Altan Khan with a smile.

"I know that the Great Khan will definitely not be willing, but I told the Great Khan that in the Hetao region, the Great Khan will give it, and the Great Ming will take it back; If the Great Khan doesn't give it, the Ming will also take it back.

This year, the Ming Dynasty will go to recover the Hetao, and I will personally lead the troops. If the Great Khan is interested, we might as well talk again. ”

Altan Khan sat down slowly, threw the fragment of his glass on the table, and laughed.

"It's just to learn, it's not today's business, change my glass and continue to drink!

The Heavenly Master's visit this time should not only be a matter of selling grain. Yang Zongbing's excerpt to the imperial court, the Mongols and Jurchens want to join forces with the Ming to deal with the Rakshasas, what does the imperial court mean? ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "The imperial court is not interesting. Outside Liaoxi Dao, although it is also under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, that place is deserted, and there are no Ming people who need the protection of the imperial court.

The Rakshasas came to hunt, and although it was rude to say that they did not say hello, they would not stay permanently. Because the other party is impolite, it doesn't seem to be cost-effective. ”

Altan Khan gave Wang Gao a look, which means that what Lao Tzu should have said has been said, it's your turn!

Wang Gao poured Xiao Feng a glass of wine and said heavily: "Lord Xiao, outside Liaoxi Dao, there are still Jurchens living in it. What's more, during this hunting, the Jurchens from all over the country went, and many people also went to Jianzhou.

The Jurchens have always been dominated by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can't ignore it, otherwise not only the Jurchens will be cold, but I am afraid that other tribes other than the Han people will also be cold. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "This won't be. As your daughter said just now, the Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, and the Rakshasa people are nothing. And you have Altan Khan to help you!

The Mongols were so heroic that they put up their golden-topped tents in Moscow, and every morning the Rakshasa nobles would come to the tents to salute and say hello.

Altan Khan just took this opportunity to restore the glory of his ancestors, and took the Jurchens to Moscow and Petersburg in one go! ”

Altan Khan didn't know that Petersburg hadn't been built at this time, Xiao Feng was just blindly pointing the way, he was just silently lucky in his heart, it was too fucking a bully!

Lao Tzu has the ability of his ancestors, and he will sit here and grind his teeth with you? Not to mention going to Moscow, the first thing Lao Tzu did was to go to the capital first and turn Jiajing and you into slaves!

Then Lao Tzu robbed your wife again! Your special taste can't stop me, anyway, I have married a woman much older than me in order to be a great khan!

Wang Gao's face was ugly: "That means that there is no need to talk about it?" This is what the imperial court meant? ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "This is what the imperial court means." Moreover, the court knows that your people are fighting bloody battles in the front, and you will definitely go to support.

But when you go to help, your house is empty. In case it is harmed by bandits and the like, it will not be good. You have to be careful. ”

Wang Gao stood up suddenly: "You! …… You! ”

Xiao Feng yawned: "I'm sleepy, Yang Zhao, let's go back to the General Soldier's Mansion." I have to tell you more about the cessation of selling grain. ”

This time, Altan Khan didn't hold Xiao Feng again, and watched Xiao Feng and Yang Zhao leave, and slowly poured a glass of wine and drank it all.

"Commander Wang, you have seen it, I said that with Xiao Feng here, the Ming court will not be so happy to help.

The Han people are all good-looking, so under normal circumstances, as long as we say that the Rakshasas invaded the Ming Dynasty and offended Tianwei, they would always send troops to some extent.

But Xiao Feng, a bastard, has always been shameless, he only attaches importance to benefits. Wanting him to help is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and it costs a lot! ”

Wang Gao gritted his teeth: "It's okay if you don't help, he shamelessly hinted that he wants to steal our home while we go to war, shameless!" ”

Altan Khan shook his head: "The soldiers are treacherous, and this is not shameless. He just saw our dead end.

As long as he holds on to the grain and doesn't sell it, there will be a serious shortage of food for us. It is not terrible to starve a few people to death, for fear that they will lose their prestige and be ousted from power.

What you just said is right, people are so hungry that they can do anything. You will be the scapegoat of the famine, and my steppe will fall apart again.

So we had to go hunting far away and bring back the game as jerky to feed the tribe. Therefore, we can't give up the outside of Liaoxi Dao, and we can only fight to the death with the Rakshasas.

If we have to send out a lot of people, our territory will be empty. In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty has prospered in the past two years, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and we really take the opportunity to sneak attack, we can't withstand it! ”

Wang Gao took a deep breath: "Great Khan, so what do you mean?" ”

Altan Khan's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Do a big job, destroy Xiao Feng first, and force the Ming Dynasty to give food, so that we can withdraw the men and horses outside Liaoxi Dao!" ”

Wang Gao was taken aback: "Great Khan, the number of Jurchens in Jianzhou is limited, and it is no problem to attack the Ming army on the periphery, but we can't enter Shanhaiguan." Shanhaiguan has never been breached! ”

Altan Khan sneered: "But the Liaodong General Military Mansion is not in Shanhaiguan." He is a few hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan, only fifty miles away from us, the city wall is not high, and the defenders are only 20,000 people. ”

Wang Gao hesitated: "The troops I can use at present are only 5,000 people, and the general army is in the city, and there are city walls to rely on, so I may not be able to win." ”

Altan Khan laughed: "When I came, I expected that this negotiation would not go too well. So I made some preparations.

I have 10,000 Mongol cavalry coming from the steppe and waiting on the periphery to listen to orders. I'll leave Chenger to inform them to rendezvous.

10,000 Mongolian cavalry, plus 5,000 Jurchen cavalry, can't beat a small city guarded by more than 10,000 Ming troops, it's a joke! ”

Wang Gao hesitated for a long time, he was still scared in his heart. Altan Khan is the Great Khan of the grassland, even if he tears his face with the Ming court, the Ming Dynasty may not dare to chase after the grassland.

But the Jianzhou Jurchen, after all, is too close to Shanhaiguan, in case of another copy of "Chenghua Plough Court", he will have to run away with his tribe.

"Great Khan, the relationship between Xiao Feng and the emperor is extraordinary, attacking the General Military Mansion is also a big crime, in case the imperial court is angry and sends troops to retaliate, how can it be good?"

Altan Khan patted Wang Gao on the shoulder: "Commander Wang, now it's not whether you want to rebel or not, but Xiao Feng is forcing you to rebel."

Don't worry, in the current Ming Dynasty Hall, the only one who is really interested in Guanwai is Xiao Feng alone.

As long as he is dead, no matter how angry the emperor is, it will be a momentary anger. And Jiajing is not as good as Chenghua, he has no one to instigate, he will not send troops to attack you.

Think about it, isn't the Hetao area more important than yours after so many years of being lost? Before Xiao Feng appeared, Jiajing had never thought of recovering the Hetao!

After we killed Xiao Feng, we jointly wrote a letter of apology, explaining that Xiao Feng deceived people too much, and we were forced to resist.

Han people have a good face, as long as the face is in place, people can't be resurrected after death, and they can only admit it. At that time, Daming will return to the state it was two years ago.

Think about it, no matter what we asked for at that time, as long as we sent a dozen troops, we could talk about it, how beautiful! ”

Wang Gao gritted his teeth: "Damn, it's done!" Lao Tzu also let Da Ming know that the Jurchens were not the Jurchens of Chenghua!

It's just that Xiao Feng will stay in the General Soldier's Mansion? Didn't he say he was leaving soon? ”

Alta Khan sneered: "At first, I almost believed it, but then I realized that he was pretending. He will definitely be waiting for us at the General Soldier's Palace.

He thought he had pinched our lifeline, and we had to go to the door and bow our heads, give up our land and horses, and accept his terms in full. But he certainly didn't think we'd die! ”

Xiao Feng and Yang Zhao returned to the General Military Mansion, and Yang Zhao did not wait for Xiao Feng's order, immediately ordered to strengthen the defenses, and ordered Tanma to closely monitor the movements of the Jurchens.

Xiao Feng smiled and watched him finish his work before nodding: "You are not a general soldier in vain, you are a person who knows how to fight." ”

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly: "My lord, even if you have the intention of sneaking up on their nest, you shouldn't say it to your face."

Although the number of Jurchens is small, they are brave and good at fighting, and with the same number, the Mongol cavalry cannot take advantage.

I think the adults should go back to Shanhaiguan first, so as not to have an accident, and the lower officials will die without redemption. ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "I dare to say this, that is, I am ready, I am here waiting for them to fight."

Originally, I wanted to wait for another two years, when the Ming Dynasty's national strength was stronger and the musket was more numerous. But seeing Wang Gao's performance today, I don't want to wait any longer.

The Jurchens are gradually being unified by Wang Gao, and if they wait until they are truly unified, the Mongols and Jurchens join forces, it will be difficult to deal with.

Xiao Qin should be tossing Japan, and I will have to deal with him in a few years, and I don't want to be distracted from dealing with this side.

Yang Zhao, this battle is very important, it must be fought! You have to win! ”

Yang Zhao gritted his teeth: "In this case, the lower officials sent troops to transfer troops everywhere for help." The strength of the Jurchens is estimated to be about 5,000, and there are 10,000 in my city.

Shanhaiguan is farther away, so it may not be in time. Thousands of soldiers and horses were transferred back to protect agriculture from all over the country. We are the defenders, no problem against 5,000 Jurchen cavalry! ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "Not only five thousand Jurchens, but also an estimated ten thousand Mongolian cavalry." After Altan Khan left, the Mongol cavalry in the steppe moved.

According to the news from Qi Jiguang, at least about 10,000 Mongolian cavalry went around the Shanhai Pass along the grassland outside the Xuanda Line. ”

Yang Zhao was shocked: "Then, then we will definitely not be able to withstand it!" My lord, you better go quickly, go to Shanhaiguan for help, and the lower officials will stick to it here! ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "I just want to make them feel that they have the chance to win, otherwise they won't dare to fight." Altan Khan wanted to kill me for a long time, but just like me, he was just a rat trap.

Every time he had the opportunity to kill me, he was not sure of success; Every time I have the opportunity to kill him, I have to worry that if he dies, Xiao Qin will support the other tribes of the grassland.

Now that he is sure to kill me, I don't have Xiao Qin's scruples, this battle can't be delayed any longer! ”

At this time, a group of cavalry came to the city gate and called the door, they were all tall and strong, their faces were full of murderous energy, and each of them carried a burden.

The guards of the gates did not dare to open the door, and asked them aloud where they had come from. The leading cavalry raised his head.

"I am Li Chengliang, the captain of the musket team, and I returned to the city on the orders of Lord Xiao!"

Li Chengliang entered the General Military Mansion and saluted Xiao Feng and Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, very surprised.

"Li Chengliang, as soon as my herald set off, you ran here, is the horse running so fast now?"

Xiao Feng smiled: "I notified him in advance with the Qin Mission's order." I'm sorry, but I just asked the court to cancel the prison army, and then I overstepped my responsibilities again.

The main thing is that this time the matter should be kept secret, and if one more person knows, there will be more risks, and I ask Mr. Yang to forgive me. ”

Yang Zhaoxin said that I have something to forgive, as long as you don't be like those eunuchs, you can take credit for yourself if you win, and give me the pot if you lose.

Xiao Feng looked at Li Chengliang: "The three hundred muskets in your hand, can there be losses?" How many more can be used? ”

Li Chengliang was slightly ashamed: "My lord, because of the lack of food during this time, there are many small groups of bandits who attack the farming area, and muskets are used frequently.

More than 30 guns have been damaged, some of them are bent in the chamber, and some are broken levers for loading ammunition. The bad guns are carefully kept, and they don't dare to lose a single part! ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "The loss is still within my estimate." That batch of guns was in a hurry, slightly rough, and it was normal to have wear and tear.

This time I brought with me 800 guns and a few carts of ammunition. This is the first time that a new musket has appeared in a large-scale war, and it is up to you whether you can subdue the cavalry or not!

I estimate that the other side will not be able to attack the city in two days at the earliest. Among the people you bring, there shouldn't be only 300 accurate guns, right? ”

Li Chengliang grinned: "No!" Although I only have 300 guns, I usually have 1,000 of my men take turns to use the exercises.

It's just that the ammunition supply is limited, and they usually don't dare to let go of their guns, they just practice aiming, and they can't shoot until the enemy comes! ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "The musket team is back in the city, do the Jurchen Tanma know?" ”

Li Chengliang thought for a while: "I shouldn't know." The last general dispersed his 1,000 men to other cavalry patrols in advance, and when each patrol returned, the last general's men remained in the city and stood by.

In this way, it is broken into parts and is not conspicuous. And when there was a conflict during this time, I deliberately asked everyone to fire more guns, and they must have thought that we were still patrolling the farmland. ”

Yang Zhao suddenly said: "My lord, do you think there will be such a possibility, they are actually not as brave as we think, they will come to the door in the next two days to apologize and make peace?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "If that's not impossible. However, from what I know about Altan Khan, it is not easy for him to endure it until now. ”

Two days passed quickly in a tense atmosphere. In the past two days, Xiao Feng has been placing all kinds of poSE on the city wall all day long, and sometimes even riding a horse out of the city for a lap.

Everything was done so that Altan Khan's Tanma could see that Xiao Feng had not left, and Xiao Feng was waiting triumphantly for them to come to the door to surrender and lose half of it.

In the middle of the night, fifteen thousand cavalry had quietly approached. Looking at the not thick city wall in the distance, Altan Khan and Wang Gao felt joy in their hearts.

Compared to the Xuanda Defense Line or Shanhaiguan, the city in front of him is simply a thicker eggshell.

Although the Jurchens did not have artillery, they had battering rams, catapults and ladders, which were enough to deal with such a wall!

After Chenghua ploughed the court, the Ming army always had a psychological advantage over the Jurchens, and this advantage gradually turned into contempt.

In order to better manage and suppress the Jurchens, the General Military Mansion was set up so close to the Jurchens, and the Jurchens did not dare to rebel anyway.

Today, let's let Daming see, what the fuck is called a fucking surprise!

Several catapults, towed by horses, began to sneak closer to the city walls. At the same time, fires began to appear in the distance, and it was a skirmish between the agricultural area and the cavalry onslaught.

This was arranged by Wang Gao. A part of the cavalry will be divided to attack the farming area, on the one hand, to contain the Ming cavalry who protect the farming area, and on the other hand, to trick them into asking for help from the General Military Office.

Once the General Military Office sends men and horses to the rescue, then the troops in the city will be even more scarce. And they still have a chance to take advantage of the chaos and rush directly into the city!

The General Soldier's Mansion was fooled, a city gate opened, and a large group of cavalry rushed out of the city gate and rushed separately to the burning farming area.

Altan Khan was overjoyed, and with a shout, all the men and horses roared and pounced on the city!

The distance quickly shortened, and the defenders at the head of the city spotted the enemy and began to frantically beat the gong to warn them. Countless torches were suddenly lit on the city wall, illuminating the city as bright as day.

Xiao Feng was dressed in a white robe, standing at the head of the city, looking at the approaching black oppressive army, without the slightest movement or expression, as if he was scared silly.

Catapults, battering rams, and ladders began to take turns, and the masonry on the walls was smashed to the ground. The ladder was erected and pushed down again, and the fight was repeated.

The battle is heating up from the start! The combined forces of the Mongols and Jurchens were outnumbered and brave and good at fighting, and soon gained the upper hand, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken!

With a salvo of "boom", hundreds of muskets spit out tongues of fire, like the sickle of death, cut down a piece of besieging soldiers at once, and the high momentum was suddenly knocked out a lot!

Altan Khan was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Gao: "Isn't the musket team outside to protect the farming area?" How could it be in the city? ”

Wang Gao shook his head: "My scouting horse really didn't detect the musket team returning to the city. But it doesn't matter, they only have 300 guns, and I have intelligence on this! ”

Altan Khan nodded, three hundred muskets, although it is of great help to defend the city, but in the face of the current level of battle, it is not enough to affect the overall situation.

The walls have been damaged in many places, and if you hold on for a while, you can break through. As soon as the walls are broken, the power of the muskets will be greatly reduced!

Therefore, the two of them gave a loud order, ordering the offensive to continue to strengthen, more fiercely, and strive to break the city faster!

"Boom, boom, boom!" In a continuous volley, the besiegers fell to the ground like fallen leaves in the cold wind.

Altan Khan grabbed Wang Gao's shoulder: "This is not three hundred muskets!" Xiao Feng must have brought more muskets, he came prepared, we were fooled! ”

Wang Gao's hands trembled slightly: "Then what should I do, withdraw the troops?" ”

Altan Khan laughed miserably: "I can't retreat!" We have already torn our faces with Xiao Feng this time, either kill him or be starved to death by him!

Let's fight, looking at the shooting situation, his muskets are no more than a thousand at most. Our chances of winning are still bigger than his! ”

The sound of shouts and killings, muskets, and screams were mixed in the night sky, and small groups of cavalry in the distance were also desperately slashing and fighting in various farming areas.

The smell of blood and gunpowder mixed together, and this was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty that a large-scale battle of new muskets against the nomads!
