The area under the rule of Jizhou Mansion is adjacent to Yongping Mansion, but it still takes a certain amount of time for Tatar soldiers and horses to rush from Funingwei to Jizhou Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Especially the march of the army, the speed is different from the usual rush, and the time is longer. And this period of time happened to be Jiangxia's last chance to sort out the city defense of Jizhou Mansion.

After Qian Juexing set off from Jizhou Mansion with a probe horse, relying on his superb tracking skills, he had already found the traces of the Tatar army in just two days. After tracking and exploring all the way, Qianjue Xing rushed back to Jizhou Mansion with a probe horse. In the Chen family's mansion in Jizhou Mansion, Qianjue Xing saw Jiangxia.

"The strength of the army should be around 100,000, and the cavalry should account for about 60%. There are large siege engines, which should be ready to reach us within ten days. Qian Juexing simply told Jiang Xia the news he had discovered.

Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he asked Qian Juexing: "Have you found out the name of their boss?"

"Grabbed a few tongues and asked, it is said that their boss is named Zabalik. ”

"Zabalik?" Jiang Xia frowned, he was very familiar with Mongolian, and the word "Zabalik" could not generally be used as a name. Because the word means revenge!

After hearing this name, and then linking the experience of Yongping Mansion being broken, Jiang Xia faintly had a feeling that he probably knew the commander of the Tatar army this time. Of course, the name Zabalik, he had never heard of. Anyway, it's a feeling, mysterious and mysterious.

After Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go down and rest first." After resting, go and help Brother Xiao kill to catch up on the training of the Xingzhou Army and Zhenshuo Wei. ”

After hearing this, Qian Juexing immediately stood up, "No need, I'm not tired, I'll go see those soldiers now." ”

After speaking, Qian Juexing saluted Jiang Xia with a fist, turned around and prepared to leave. After taking two steps, Qian Juexing seemed to remember something, he turned around and came back, and said to Jiang Xia with an unnatural expression: "Emperor...... Your Majesty, he retired from his humble position. ”

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, he stood up and walked in front of Qianjuexing, stretched out his hands to help Qianjue Xing and said: "Others don't know, don't you guys still know? In the future, this throne will still be returned to Zaijiang. ”

Qian Juexing was slightly silent, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped. Jiang Xia knew what he wanted to say, he smiled slightly and said, "If I, Jiang Xia, can really do this kind of thing to take away my brother's family business, are you still willing to follow me?"

After thinking about it, Qian Juexing's face showed a sudden color, and there was a hint of comfort and pride in this sudden color. Qianjuexing, who has always been not good at words, said to Jiang Xia with a slight smile this time: "Master, after so many years, everything you have done has made Juexing and others happy, and we are not with the wrong person." Being able to follow the master is the most glorious thing in his life. ”

After speaking, Qian Juexing bowed to Jiang Xia, and then retreated.

Seeing Qian Juexing leave, Jiang Xia couldn't help but mutter, "Suddenly playing something sensational, making people unprepared at all." After speaking, Jiang Xia took a slight breath and walked out of the room.

Jiang Xia, dressed in military uniform, walked to the city tower of Jizhou Mansion, where the damaged city tower had been re-strengthened, and the moat had been re-dug and widened. Not only is it filled with water, but it is also filled with sharpened bamboo thorns.

In front of the moat, on the surface, there was nothing, but in fact it was full of pitfalls and sprinkled with thistles. On the city tower, the only five artillery pieces and eight trebuchets in Jizhou Mansion have been prepared.

In addition, there are boulders, sassal wood, fire oil, arrows, and other things, all of which are well prepared. Although many people fled from Jizhou Mansion, there are still many people left. Xia Jialin's prestige in Jizhou Mansion is good, he stood up and raised his arms, calling on the people to defend Jizhou Mansion and resist the Tatar invasion, and the people immediately responded like a cloud.

The boulders were carried from the mountains by the people, many of the arrows were made improvised, and the sassal wood was taken down from their houses. There is also a shortage of oil, and some people have contributed their own tung oil.

Looking at this united appearance, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that he had a lot of burden on his shoulders. After coming to Daming for so many years, maybe he has indeed led Daming to become prosperous and strong, but it has never been like this one, which makes Jiang Xia feel that he still has a responsibility to protect these simple and kind people and live a stable and prosperous life.

The chaos of the Ming Dynasty must end as soon as possible. Jiang Xia secretly made up his mind in his heart. Of course, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that all this was not simple. After all, Nanjing now prides itself on being orthodox in the Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing has a complete administrative team, plus Jiangnan is a rich land. All this has given the side and Jingshi the capital to fight.

Regardless of Jiang Xia's own prestige in Daming, the righteousness of this chaos is actually on the side of Miao Renhu and Cui Zhengyi.

Jiang Xia shook his head, forcing himself in his heart not to think about these things anymore. The current situation no longer allows him to back down. If he retreats, he will definitely not be the only one who will die.

Seven days passed in a flash. It was noon, the sun was shining, and the weather was good.

Jiang Xia's spies in Taipingzhai were withdrawn to Jizhou Mansion. Taipingzhai is on the east bank of the Luan River, which belongs to the Tatar army to come to Jizhou Mansion must pass through. The spies suddenly withdrew, and Jiang Xia knew without asking that it must be the arrival of the Tatar army. And then the news reported by the spies confirmed this.

After listening to the spies' report, Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it came so fast. According to Qianjuxing's estimate, it should take ten days for the other party to arrive at Jizhou Mansion, but now it is only seven days, and they have already arrived.

Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at Xia Jialin, Xiao Kill, Qian Juexing and others beside him. He said, "Let's go, take someone to Luanhe immediately." ”

"Yes!" everyone immediately got up, and after answering the order, they rushed out, and each went to gather some troops, preparing to rush to the bank of the Luan River first.

According to the estimation of the distance traveled by the Tatar army when they first arrived at the location of Taipingzhai, it would take them two hours to reach the east bank of the Luan River at the earliest. And from Jizhou Mansion to Luanhe, no matter how slow the speed is, one hour is enough.

Guarding Jizhou Mansion, there are two lines of defense. One is this Luanhe River, and the other is Jizhou Mansion.

The Luan River is connected to the Hulu River in Yuepo Harbor and eventually flows into the Bohai Sea. Although the river is not very fast, it is better than that the river is wide enough. This is a natural danger, and there is no reason for anyone who knows the army to allow the opponent to cross the river easily.

Jiangxia and they also marched quickly all the way, and it only took half an hour to reach the west bank of the Luan River. The river is calm and sparkling. The sun shines on the surface of the river, reflecting a golden light, if you just go here, there will definitely be people who can't help but sigh, the scenery is so beautiful.

It's a pity that the beautiful scenery is in front of you, but none of the more than 30,000 people have the interest to appreciate it. The river blows up from the river, and what everyone feels is not the freshness of the oncoming face, but the sense of slaughter.

Everyone knows that a big war will start here.

There are generally two ways to fight in river surface resistance battles. One is to drive a boat into the river and fight the other side directly on the river. The second is to use bows and arrows, throwing stones, artillery and other objects to attack from a distance and block the opponent.

If Jiang Xia had any of the sailors in his hands, he would inevitably choose the first method. But the real situation at the moment is that your own forces are far weaker than the other side, and the soldiers are not as elite as the opponent's, and they are not good at water warfare. Therefore, Jiang Xia didn't think about relying on this Luanhe River to completely stop the other party, but just wanted to use a long-range blocking method to consume the opponent's strength.

When they arrived at the riverbank, Jiang Xia and the others had just lined up their formations and set up all their equipment, but they had just waited for an hour. Jiang Xia saw through telescopic binoculars that on the other side of the riverbank, a Tatar army was already coming. Immediately afterwards, from the upper reaches of the Luan River, a large number of boats rowed down.

The soldiers in formation, although they couldn't see each other's appearance clearly, could faintly see that the enemy army on the opposite bank of the river had arrived. For the northern grassland tribes, the Ming soldiers are no strangers. Their bravery, their ruthlessness and barbarism, have a natural oppression for the Ming soldiers.

What Jiang Xia brought to the bank of the Luanhe River this time was not the soldiers and horses he brought out from the Beijing Division, but most of them were people from Zhenshuo Wei and Xingzhou Army. Therefore, as soon as I saw the enemy at this moment, there was immediately a sign of agitation in the ranks.

Jiang Xia was riding on his horse, and he looked back at the team behind him, his eyes were incomparable. The person who greeted Jiang Xia's gaze immediately closed his mouth and stood in the distance with his whole body straight, not daring to make any more commotion.

Jiang Xia's gaze swept from left to right, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "I know, you have the Xingzhou Army and the Zhenshuo Guard. Now I want you to follow me, maybe you are not used to it, and you have not accepted it from the bottom of your heart.

But I want you to remember that you are soldiers, soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Whoever your lord may have been, now you must understand that our opponents are Tartars and foreigners!

If we can't stand Jizhou Mansion today, then the land of thousands of miles after the sound will definitely be ravaged by Tatar. They will rape our brothers and sisters, rob us of our gold, silver and jewelry, and burn our houses and temples.

If we don't guard the Jizhou Mansion, do you think your parents, brothers, wives, sons, and daughters can still be at peace? So, whether you are willing to follow me or not, but now, I hope you can fight with me and never retreat!"

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, the audience was silent for a while.

Ma Daya in the crowd suddenly shouted excitedly: "Fight to the death!

As soon as he roared, all the soldiers shouted as if they were infected: "Fight to the death, don't retreat!"

"Fight to the death, don't retreat!"

Jiang Xia nodded, picked up the telescopic binoculars and looked at the other side of the river again. He had just wanted to see if the other party had started to cross the river, but this time, he saw a person he thought he would never see again.

And the appearance of this person made Jiang Xia's face look ugly......

Jiang Xia finally understood why the guards of Shanhaiguan would be rebelled, and why Yongping Mansion would be broken so easily. It turned out that it was him...... r1058
