"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven."

Cheng Shijie listened to Wang Chengen's words, his heart was full of bitterness, Chong fact, Cheng Shijie also knew that Emperor Zhen was suspicious by nature, and he tried his best to maintain the relationship with Emperor Chongzhen, but this day is still coming.

Wang Chengen said: "Hai Guogong, our family is now asking you on behalf of His Majesty, please answer truthfully!" ”

"Father-in-law, please speak!"

Wang Chengen stared into Cheng Shijie's eyes and asked, "How is the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army, if they meet in the wilderness, can the Ning Navy defeat them?" ”

Cheng Shijie replied seriously: "The current Mongolian Tatars are not comparable to before, they are extremely difficult, a considerable part of the cavalry still uses bones as arrowheads, and most of the sabers used are made of Burmese iron, so a saber will be sold for at least a dozen taels ......of silver on the grassland, but it will be scrapped after a few chops, and it is completely incomparable with the swords of our army."

Although he knew that Wang Chengen didn't know, Cheng Shijie still introduced what he had learned in detail, and it was through his introduction that Wang Chengen now knew that the old opponent had weakened to speak.

At present, the interior of the northern Mongolian tribes is scattered, because of the cold climate, a large number of cattle and sheep freeze and starve to death every year, the number of livestock in each department is reduced again and again, and the life is hard, compared with the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The climate of the Xiaoice River brought great disasters to the Ming Dynasty, but the Mongols, the sworn enemies of the Ming Dynasty, were not having a good time, and they only suffered more than the people of the Ming Dynasty, who made their productivity so backward?

Now, Cheng Shijie finally understands the reason why Emperor Chongzhen is dissatisfied with him, that is, the Mongolian Tuxitu Department has entered Jing'an Fort and hit the territory of Miyun County, which is the second time that Mongolia has entered the territory of Shuntianfu.

The last time Mongolia entered the capital, it was because of the change in Tumubao, and it was still under the leadership of Shaobao that they won the battle to defend the capital.

Now Emperor Chongzhen is nervous, in the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu broke through, and the soldiers came to the capital, Yuan Chonghuan, who was deeply trusted by Chongzhen, Yuan Dudu, even if he killed Mao Wenlong, the commander of a town, Emperor Chongzhen also gave an endorsement, however, it was because Jiannu hit the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen angrily beheaded Yuan Chonghuan.

Let Wang Chengen listen to Cheng Shijie's explanation, in fact, he wants Cheng Shijie to quickly solve the Inner Mongolia army that rushed into the Miyun Realm, you must know that Miyun County is more than 80 kilometers from the capital, that is, more than 100 miles, if there is no Cheng Shijie to lead the Ning Navy as Baihe, maybe the Mongolian army has besieged the capital again.

This made Emperor Chongzhen very faceless, of course, because those bigwigs controlled public opinion, and the capital was even more angry, almost everyone pointed the finger at Cheng Shijie, almost everyone thought that if it weren't for Cheng Shijie and other martial artists to start a war in vain, it would be impossible to attract the Mongols and Jiannu to fight back.

In fact, this public opinion is very marketable, and Emperor Chongzhen is faintly dissatisfied, but fortunately, Cheng Shijie is not like Yuan Chonghuan who is afraid of the enemy's cowardice, but instead asks to transfer the Liaodongning Navy to the north with 50,000 elite cavalry, which makes Emperor Chongzhen somewhat reassured, after all, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't move the Guanning army at the beginning.

If more than 50,000 elites of the Ning Navy go north, then Liaodong will definitely have a greater risk, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Cheng Shijie is abandoning the foundation of Liaodong and devoting himself to the country.

However, the Mongolians have no food or clothes to wear, and they can still rob them, while the people of the Ming Dynasty have nowhere to rob, this is the difference.

In the end, Cheng Shijie concluded: "The current Mongolian cavalry fought with my Ning naval cavalry, in the battle of Zhangbei, our Ning naval cavalry only dispatched more than 6,300 people, and the Mongolian Tushetu tribe sent out 56,000 people, and these Mongols were completely annihilated in a battle, beheaded 43,000, and captured 12,000, and they had no power to fight back, so it is not difficult to see how terrifying the gap is." ”

"Hey, Haiguo Gong, you have won such a big battle, why didn't you report to the capital?"

Cheng Shijie casually put Qiao Zhaolin's confession in front of Wang Chengen: "Princess, take a look for yourself, how can I report it?" ”

Wang Chengen looked at Qiao Zhaolin's confession, and his face became solemn: "This is impossible, Wang Ge Lao only has one son, but four years ago, how could he go to Jing'an Fort to meet Qiao Zhaolin?" ”

"That's where they are smart, they deliberately left such a loophole, set up a bureau, and waited here!"

Cheng Shijie sneered: "In the second year of Chongzhen, the son of an unofficial and unemployed squire, who would notice it among the soldiers who died?" Qiao Zhaolin is a four-grade guard, can he still know the family background of the scholar of Chaodong Pavilion? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Grandpa Guo didn't report it because of this situation? ”

"Or else?"

Cheng Shijie also knew that the cabinet boss was trying to win over the generals to oppose him, but it was a pity that he couldn't catch the evidence, and Jin Yiwei's intelligence obviously said that Wu Zongda went to Ruzhou, Henan Province and met with Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu, but the problem was that he couldn't go to Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu to testify.

In fact, whether it is Lu Xiangsheng or Zuo Liangyu, although they did not accept Wu Zongda's wooing, they will not stand on their side and oppose Wu Zongda.

After a long time, Wang Chengen said: "The Holy Lord asked Grandpa Guo, when will the enemy of Miyun be annihilated?" ”

Cheng Shijie smiled bitterly: "At present, Ben Shuai has less than 5,000 men and horses in Baihe Fort City, and it is rare to block ten times the enemy, unless Ben Shuai's reinforcements can arrive!" ”

All of a sudden, the problem is back to square one.

"Xuanfu Military ......"

"Ben Shuai doesn't dare to use it!"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "Ben Shuai doesn't know how many Qiao Zhaolin there are in this Xuan Mansion!" ”

Wang Chengen returned to the capital.

At this time, Wuwei was conquered, sixteen cities in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu were lost, and only the news that Lanzhou was still holding on reached the capital.

Fortunately, Cheng Shijie ignored the reaction of the Beijing Military Department, he just reported to the Military Department, instead of waiting for the order of the Military Department to let the troops go, in fact, in the past few days, there was really no delay because of Wen Tiren's obstruction, Cheng Shijie first issued an order to the General Staff of the Ning Navy to transfer troops, and then asked the Military Department for instructions.

Just as the order of the Ministry of War left the capital, the Annan Army of the Ning Navy had already arrived in Funing, and Chen Kai, the commander of Fu Ningwei, took the commanders of Fu Ningwei, the commanders, and other officials to look at the huge army of the Ning Navy.

This is a very strange army, it can be seen as a very large convoy, all of them are ice boats from Liaodong across the sea, in fact, they are also four-wheeled carriages, now there is ice and snow cover, they can travel in the way of sleds, if the snow melts in the future, put on wheels, dismantle to the sleigh, you can turn into horse-drawn carriages.

A force of 50,000 horses, the whole army is equipped with more than 8,000 ice boats, in the whole world, only Cheng Shijie has this strength, more than 8,000 ice boats, and at the same time more than 16,000 horses, of course, there are nearly 3,000 cavalry, these cavalry is not surprised, because this is a reconnaissance cavalry, assigned to the capital division, and the cavalry of each capital division is not much.

More than 8,000 carts, half of which were loaded with equipment and the other half were loaded with grain and grass, one after another, and there was no end in sight, and the scene was quite shocking.

What's even more shocking is that this is a silent advancing army, and the equipment is extremely strange, such as the shield, spear, crossbow, horizontal knife and other most common weapons equipped by ordinary Ming troops can not even be seen, their cavalry each has a musket, this musket is about four feet long, this is so far, the world's first bolt-action rifle.

If according to the normal situation, the Ning Navy in Liaodong came across the sea, and it would definitely land in Tianjin first, and then go to the capital, but because the Bohai Sea was frozen, the Ning Navy's more than 50,000 troops set off directly from Jinzhou and followed the straight line of the Bohai Sea to Fuwei, which is now the Gangcheng District of Qinhuangdao.

Arriving at Funingwei, Chen Kai, the commander of Funingwei, stepped forward and said, "Do you have any orders from the military department?" ”

"Nope!"

"Fire ticket?"

"Neither!"

"Then I'm very sorry, my brother's duty is to let him go!"

Shen Ming stepped forward immediately: "This general has an order from Cheng Shuai, the Prime Minister of the Nine Sides!" ”

"Cheng Shuai's appointment?"

Chen Kai is now nominally under the jurisdiction of Cheng Shijie, the nine-sided prime minister, and the Ning Navy successfully passed through the jurisdiction of Funingwei, all the way through the Great Wall, along the Great Wall defense line, all the way to the west.

After receiving the news that Shen Mingyu had arrived at the defense line of the Great Wall, Cheng Shijie looked at Yuan Shiliang and said, "Starting tomorrow, you don't need to keep it!" ”

The firepower of the Yining navy actually had an absolute advantage in the battle against the Mongol army. The Ning Navy started with infantry, and many battles were won by infantry, which created a terrifying infantry corps. The discipline of those infantry, the tenacity of will, and the ferocity of firepower were unmatched by any cavalry, and the Mongol light cavalry, which still relied on sabers and bows to fight as they had for 2,000 years, could only be slaughtered one-sidedly when they encountered the Ning naval infantry, which carried bolt-action rifles and was supported by artillery and rocket artillery.

Jing'an Fort, Gunbu actually hated Kyakhtu, a guy who had more than enough success and more than enough to lose, and obviously occupied Jing'an Fort, which is a castle covering an area of about six or seven hundred acres, with complete barracks and fortifications, but was burned by Kyakhta.

Now the Mongol army can only pitch tents on the ruins of the ruined walls, but fortunately, the garrison is still intact because it is very strong.

Gon Bu looked at the secret letter sent by the big man in the DPRK, which clearly told them that the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Ning Navy had gone north, and their time was running out.

Gunbu looked at the generals under his command and said: "We want the whole army to press up, the Ming dogs are a group of cowards, they dare not confront us head-on, they only dare to hide behind the ice wall and use firearms, the descendants of Genghis Khan, will they still lose to such a group of sheep?" Rush in and kill them like chickens, and let them know what it will be like to fight us! ”

The Mongol generals were as excited as chickens, and roared like wild beasts, in fact, some generals had long been dissatisfied with this tentative attack, and in their opinion, they could break through the Baihe defense line of the Ning navy with tightened control, but Gunbu didn't want to fight.

The Mongol army, which had already been mad, attacked again, and as soon as it struck, it was a decisive force, throwing in 20,000 troops, knowing that there were only 80,000 troops in the entire Tushetu Khan department.

Of course, these 80,000 troops are not actually full 10,000 troops, which is about 16,700 men and horses, and the current Mongolian army is no longer the group of yellow devils who trampled the Eurasian continent with iron hooves three hundred years ago, and their population has been shrinking since they were driven back to the Mongolian plateau.

The size and combat effectiveness of the army were inevitably affected, and each 10,000-strong team was at least short of 10,000 troops, and the strength of 20,000 troops was only equivalent to 10,000 troops in the Ogedai era. However, more than 16,700 people charged at the same time, and the momentum was still terrifying. It's like a huge wave slamming straight up!

Cheng Shijie saw that the Mongolian army no longer retained its strength, it was obvious that they had already known the news of the reinforcement of the Ning Navy, and if they waited for the reinforcements of the Ning Navy to arrive, they would have no chance at all.

Cheng Shijie smiled: "Are you finally in a hurry?" It's a good time, shoot Ben Shuai! ”

"Tom ......"

The artillery of the Ning Navy, which had long been suffocated, took the lead in letting the twelve five-inch guns open fire, and the caliber of the five-inch guns was 154.5 millimeters. Even in later generations, it belongs to large-caliber heavy artillery.

So far, the battleships of the Ning Navy cannot withstand the huge recoil of the five-inch naval guns, and this kind of gun can only be used for the army, but the problem is that the five-inch guns are too heavy, and it is difficult to move the weight.

The strong recoil of the twelve five-inch guns shook the ground slightly, and a large wave of air rushed up from the muzzle of the guns wrapped in gunsmoke, and twelve shells weighing seventy or eighty pounds flew into the sky with a heavy roar, and then a fierce man slammed down on the place with the most people.

The firing range was the most demarcated, and the Mongol army could not come up with any means to threaten the artillery from beginning to end, so the artillery did not even have to move its position, and after firing a shot, it was immediately reloaded, and then fired again.

As soon as they opened fire, the Mongol army poured blood mold for 18 lifetimes, and the shells exploded above their heads, like a series of thunderbolts exploding on the flat ground, and the flesh and blood flew sideways within 50 meters, and the shrapnel and steel balls poured down the surging tide in circles, and those who were not hit by the shrapnel were also shocked to nosebleeds, and some even had their eardrums cracked, spurting large streams of blood from the ear holes.

To be sure, this stupid five-inch cannon was not an ideal weapon, it was too heavy, difficult to handle, and it was bombarded with a single shot, but now it was the most terrible weapon, and the gunner had no need to worry about injuring his own people, as long as the shell could fly out of the chamber and fall outside the ice wall, everything would be fine.

The outside of the ice wall was full of enemies, and none of them were their own people, and they would blow up dozens of them when they bombarded the past, so these artillerymen fought fiercely and fought quite happily.

The Mongols instinctively wanted to retreat, but the Scimitar and Arrow of the Overseer immediately beckoned. In front is a cannon, behind is a scimitar and sharp arrows, life is sandwiched in a thin slit, you can't enter, you can't retreat.

Under the heavy pressure, the Mongol army went crazy, their eyes were bloodshot, and they rushed towards the ice wall screaming for their lives, they didn't want any rules and tactics, as if they were bent on crashing to death under the ice wall, this kind of madness was really terrifying.

However, the riflemen of the Ning Navy were as calm as ever, still loading and firing in an orderly manner, and slender tongues of fire continued to burst out from the ice wall, and the bullets whistled, and the people who rushed in front fell in rows.

However, after all, there were only about 3,000 riflemen in the Ning Navy, and more than 3,000 hydrant rifles could not stop more than 10,000 people from sacrificing their lives......

Immediately, the rocket artillery located in the rear fired,

The rocket artillery flew over like a meteor shower, and it exploded into a rolling curtain of fire, even if it used a thousand front-loading smoothbore guns, it couldn't hit such an effect! The Mongol soldiers approaching the ice wall were blown down in pieces, helpless, and they didn't even have a chance to shoot an arrow or swing a knife at someone who wanted their life!

Now the Mongolian army is very unlucky to taste the taste of non-contact combat of "firepower first, complete suppression", a few artillery shells can kill dozens of them in an instant, hundreds of people, a grenade thrown by a soldier can easily blow up a dozen, as for the muskets...... To be honest, there are really not a few people who are shot together and put into a grain gourd.

It was a desperate battle, and the Mongols never had the opportunity to display their superior martial arts, so they could only be beaten passively. But after all, they were the conquerors of the world, and the ferocity of the Ming army also awakened the long-dormant militants in their blood, who shouted wildly with blood in their eyes, and rushed again after being repulsed once, completely ignoring the casualties.

The corpses soon accumulated a thick layer under the city.

Now Gonbu is afraid, and he is afraid in his bones. In this battle, all the elites were dispatched, and it can be said that all the treasures were bet on breaking the border and looting, if he couldn't defeat Miyun and grab enough loot, he, the king of Khan, would be discredited; If there are too many casualties among the young men of the Tushetu tribe, the surrounding tribes will pounce on them like wolves and bite them fiercely, snatching the fat Tumochuan from their hands, and at that time, the Tushetu tribe will be finished!

Standing on the mound, Gon Bu watched with a grim expression as his soldiers rushed towards the White River Defense Line in waves, and then were ruthlessly torn apart and devoured by the White River Defense Line, which was like the incarnation of a giant beast.

Cannonballs flew over their heads or beneath them, and the terrifying roar dwarfed all the sounds of the savannah. It was the roar of death, and after each loud bang, dozens of warriors fell in pools of blood, dead without corpses, and the terrible explosion was mixed with the screams and roars of thousands of troops, which was extremely terrifying.

Gunbu was so nervous that he forgot to count the rosary, looked at all this with a pale face, and muttered, "The Ming army is very tenacious...... You can't attack it no matter how you attack it! ”

The bitter gourd-like expression of Commander Jebu who was about to cry: "My tribesmen's warriors have suffered extremely heavy casualties!" ”

Danba glared at him, "Could it be that the warriors of my tribe died less than you?" ”

Jebu was a little annoyed and wanted to fight back, but he was attracted by the terrible battle and finally didn't push back.

These Mongolian nobles are all worried. This Ming New Army is really a bit of a doorway, just a few thousand people plus a little village brave militia to defend the Baihe defense line like an iron fortress, in front of them, what is the difference between Mongolian warriors and fragile eggs!

Gunbu only felt panicked in his heart, and looked away from the battlefield and cast his eyes on the horizon.

On the horizon, the sunset is like blood, dim, cold, without a trace of warmth. Isn't the fate of Mongolia just like this bleak sunset, so gloomy that people can't see a glimmer of hope?

……

Lanzhou City is still in a bloody battle.

Different from the three parts of Mobei Mongolia, the Dzungar Department belongs to the Mobei Mongolia, and the Dzungar Department is the Warat Department that confronted the Ming Dynasty, and later the Warat Department migrated westward and split under the blow of the rising Mongol Tatar Department, and was also called the Oirat Department in history, and the following is divided into the Dzungar Department, the Heshute Department, the Turghut Department and the Dulbert Department, also known as the Moxi Oirat Department. The area under its jurisdiction extends to the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, the Ob River and the Yenisei River in the north, the Tianshan Mountains in the south, the dividing line between the Altai Mountains and the Hangai Mountains in Mongolia in the east, and the Balkhash Lake area in the west.

Later, in the last years of Wanli, the Dzungar tribe became strong and pressed the Turghut tribe westward, so that it and one of the Dulbert tribe and the Heshute tribe were forced to move to the lower Volga region. Pressed the Dulbert tribe to the east, seized its territory, and the Dzungar tribe defeated the Kazakhs, crossed the Tianshan Mountains to conquer the Hui tribe Chagatai Khan and the Islamic Baishan faction and the Montenegrin faction, flew troops to Lhasa, and captured Tibet, and finally established a powerful Dzungar Khanate.

Its territory extends to the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, the Ob River and the Yenisei River in the north, the Ali region of Tibet in the south, the Balkhash Lake in the west, and the Sayan Mountains and the Seshangge River basin in the east, reaching more than 4 million square kilometers at its peak. In 1634, the head of the Dzungar tribe, Khalakhura, died, and his son Batur became the leader, expanding the territory abroad.

Batur's goal is the Ming Dynasty, that is, the task that their ancestors did not complete, and now it is very smooth, they have taken the Hexi Corridor, although they have hit a wall under the city of Lanzhou.

But he is not worried, now there are more than 3,000 condor archers in the Junggar department, the condor archers are actually heavy bow archers, this kind of heavy archers are very many in the era of Genghis Khan, Mongolian heavy bows can shoot targets more than 300 meters away with heavy arrows, even if it is European heavy armor, in the case of heavy arrows, it can also be shot through at a distance of 90 meters.

In fact, if it is the Mongolian cavalry at its peak, its combat effectiveness is indeed three points stronger than that of the current Jiannu, but unfortunately, Mongolia is no longer the original Mongolia.

However, Junggar now has a strong strength, more than 3,000 heavy archers desperately released arrows, trying to suppress the firepower of the Ming army, countless sharp arrows were shot on the city wall, and the Ming defenders on the city wall were either shot, or could only hold on to the shield, not daring to raise their heads.

The waves of people parted suddenly, and a group of strong men rushed up with a thick, long, and cone-shaped iron ramming horn at the top, and slammed into the city gate. The huge tree was so heavy that many strong men worked together, and the force was so fierce under the collision, coupled with the impact angle, even the city gate covered with several layers of copper leaves could not withstand a few blows, and in a single moment, the soldiers on the city wall felt the wall vibrate.

In ancient sieges, unless there was an internal response, the attacking side rarely took the city gate as the main direction of attack, because the defending side took the city gate as the key defense object, where the firepower was the most intensive, and often used stones and sandbags to plug the entire city gate to death, even if the city gate was knocked down, it could not be passed.

What's more, the border city of Lanzhou has four urn cities, and a thousand golden gates are arranged on the inside of each city gate, just like the fourth general of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", the majestic sea has been holding the jack gate until all the righteous armies rush out of the city. Of course, this is romance, even if the vast sea really has the power of a thousand catties, he can't hold up the jack gate, because the jack gate is not a jack, in addition to the gravity of the jack gate, there is also the power of the winch, not to mention 10,000 catties, how to hold it up?

Once the jack gate is suddenly lowered at the right time, the enemy troops attacking the city will immediately become turtles in the urn, and they will only be tortured and killed. If the attacking side uses the city gate as a breakthrough and desperately storms, either there is no way to take the city wall, or it has already hit a flaw.

Seeing that the Junggar people were hitting the city gate with a banging wood, Zhang Jiwu hurriedly ordered: "Come on, block the city gate with sandbags!" ”

Qi Yan of Ning Haijun said: "General Zhang, no, we still have gifts for these Tartars!" ”

"Gifts? What gift? ”

There are more than 1,000 Ning Navy cavalry, and now there are less than 800 people left, and each of them is equipped with four grenades, but they have not been used, and Qi Yan hopes to play an effect at a critical moment.

In this way, the Mongol army pushed the wooden and slammed the city gate, and after half an hour of impact, the city gate was knocked open, and as the city gate slammed open, the shouting Dzungar Mongol army rushed towards the city.

Bauthur excitedly shouted: "The city gate is broken, Ben Khan can celebrate in the city today!" ”

However, they rushed into the city only to find that there was also an urn city inside.

But the problem was that the Mongol cavalry in front found out that it was Wengcheng and hurriedly wanted to retreat to the rear, but the Mongol cavalry behind couldn't see the front at all, and they were in chaos.

Seeing that three or four thousand cavalry and more than eight hundred Ning Navy cavalry rushed into the urn city, they quickly took out their grenades and tied them together in groups of three to pull fire,

Then he hurriedly threw it down and threw it in a crowded place. Dozens of bundles of grenades sizzled down from the sky and smashed on the shields of the Dzungar soldiers, and the Dzungar Mongol soldiers looked at the wooden handles and iron heads that were smoking one by one, and showed a puzzled look.

They had never seen this kind of weapon, and it was said that if the army wanted to smash people, they should throw ash bottles and sheep's horn stones, so why did they throw this thing?

"Boom Boom ......"

A series of violent explosions slammed into everyone's eardrums, a large ball of fire rushed up, the ground trembled like a madness in a terrible roar, and the scorching shrapnel and steel balls flew radially and densely in all directions with the explosion point in the middle, easily piercing the leather armor, cutting through the muscles, and releasing large strands of blood.

Large pieces of minced flesh and broken limbs were thrown high by the blast wave and danced in the air, setting off a rain of blood among the Dzungar Mongol army!

The Dzungar Mongol soldiers wanted to escape, but when they turned back, they found that the gate behind them, the jack gate had fallen, and they could not escape in the closed urn city, so they could only be passively bombed.

It's just that the Ning Navy cavalry carried a limited number of grenades, and the other Lanzhou defenders and young men smashed down with stones, bricks and the like.

The battle ended quickly, and these three or four thousand Mongols not only sent more than 3,000 war horses to the Lanzhou defenders, so that the Lanzhou defenders could eat horse meat, but more importantly, they could also replenish a certain number of bows and arrows, although most of the bows and arrows were blown up, yes, it was better than nothing.

Although the situation in Lanzhou is eroded, however, there is no problem for the time being.

However, in the end, what Cheng Shijie didn't want to see, he finally found out that the border military operations in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and other provinces controlled by civilian officials responded to their call, and in the face of the rolling Mongolian iron cavalry, they gave way to the defense line, and even simply aimed the butcher's knife at the Ming army who held the nine border defense line.

The defense line that the trilateral border army had painstakingly operated for several years was torn open huge gaps one after another, and the barbaric torrent that had been suppressed by them outside the fortress surged in, and Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Ningxia were all full of beacon fires and rivers of blood.

The trilateral armies that tried to repel the invading enemy forces in the field were plotted by their allies and suffered heavy losses, and they could only retreat to their fortified fortresses and watch in despair as the Mongols bypassed their lines and poured in frantically through the gaps......

Zhao Wencai, who originally wanted to support Lanzhou, had no choice but to change his plan, so he had to disperse part of it to the trilateral defense line, the strict and tight defense line of the trilateral army was full of gaps, loopholes everywhere, and the Ning Navy who tried to fill the loopholes was either besieged by the enemy or plotted by the border army, and the once sharp Ning Navy faced such a desperate situation

Zhao Wencai could only sigh in despair: "I have the intention to kill the enemy, but I can't return to the sky, Cheng Shuai, what should I do in the end?" ”

Qiao Siniang silently stood beside Zhao Wencai and said, "Otherwise, the general will ask the marshal!" “

"No, I must take the responsibility that I should bear!"

Zhao Wencai knows very well that if he has the intention of self-preservation and does not come forward at a critical moment, he will not want to have a future in the Ning Navy system in this life.

The vanguard of the Mongols, with the cooperation of many border armies, swept through dozens of border cities in Shanxi and Shaanxi like a whirlwind, and Taiyuan has become an isolated city.

Zhao Wencai smashed his fist on the map: "Let's go to Taiyuan!" ”

"But, Taiyuan...... Taiyuan has not yet fallen, but the question is, who knows what the defenders of Taiyuan are thinking? ”

Qiao Siniang said: "If we go to Taiyuan, Taiyuan will also fall......"

"That's fate!"

Zhao Wencai sighed helplessly: "We can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

Hong Chengchou, who was cooperating with Lu Xiangsheng to encircle and annihilate Li Zicheng's troops, received the three-sided Mongolian army to tear up the three-sided defense line, he scolded in the study for half an hour, he wrote a letter to Lu Xiangsheng, and decided to lead the division back to the three sides.

Without the cooperation of more than 40,000 elites of the trilateral army, Lu Xiangsheng could only fall short at the critical moment of encircling and annihilating Li Zicheng's troops.

Lu Xiangsheng ordered in silence: "Tianxiong Army, get out of contact with the enemy and go north immediately!" ”

Although many people in the Ming Dynasty betrayed the country, there are still people in this country who love it, the Tianxiong Army is going north against the current, the trilateral army is going north against the current, and more importantly, the people of Shaanxi and Shanxi are also spontaneously forming a self-defense army to save themselves.
