The guard of Deshengmen is Shi Heng.
Shi Heng suffered the defeat of Yanghe, which was a great shame and humiliation for him, and he had long wanted to find an opportunity to avenge his previous humiliation.
The Mongolian army invaded again, captured the emperor, and won another great victory. In addition, all the frontline military commanders and nobles were taken out of the pass by Zhu Qizhen. Yu Qian had to use Shi Heng, who fought bravely, which also gave Shi Heng Heng Yizhen was ashamed of this coveted opportunity.
Yu Qian commanded the second-line generals and led the second-line army, continuing the national essence for another hundred years for the Ming Dynasty.
Shi Heng stood on the top of the city, looking at the Mongolian army in the distance. The anger in his heart kept burning. It was these Mongolians who almost let him be imprisoned in the cell. This time, he must let them know about his Grandpa Shi. sharp.
Because the tents were abandoned outside Datong City, these Mongolians sat on the ground to let themselves rest for a while and let their horses rest for a while.
They ate their own rations and looked at the city of Beijing not far away, feeling extremely excited just like Ye Xian.
They don't miss the glory of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, but they know that the inner city protected by the tall city wall has many beautiful Han women and countless gold and silver treasures. As long as they enter the inner city, they can gain a lot of wealth.
Dozens of Mongolian scouts galloped along the city of Beijing, with the largest number at Deshengmen.
Shi Heng lost his temper when he saw these Mongols, and Shi Biao who was on the side quickly took out the strong bow from the soldiers.
Then he drew his strong bow at the top of the city and aimed at a scout.
The Mongolian was not afraid at all when he saw Shi Biao drawing his bow. Every Mongolian was proficient in archery. Now he was more than a hundred steps away from the city. Even if he stood still, the general of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to shoot him. Hit yourself.
Shi Biao knew that the Mongolian scouts looked down on him, so he snorted and the arrow flew out with a whoosh.
The Mongolian only saw the arrow heading straight for him. Just as he was about to gallop away, he felt a pain in his chest as the arrow had already entered his body.
Then the Mongolian scout dropped his horse and Shi Biao laughed.
The surrounding Ming troops all applauded, and even Shi Heng nodded with satisfaction.
Shi Biao is Shi Heng's nephew. They both have the same virtues and are not considered good people in history. Shi Biao is extremely brave and his skills of bow and horse are among the best among the Ming army. He is good at torturing the Mongolians, even the immortals. The continuous blessings would not end well if they fell into the hands of Shi Biao.
After Shi Biao said something to Shi Heng, he immediately went down from the city gate, rode a fast horse to the side of the Mongolian scout, tied the Mongolian who was still alive with a rope, then rode the horse and dragged him in In the city.
When the other scouts saw their companions being dragged into the city alive, they did not dare to step forward.
The Mongol scout who was thrown onto the city wall was ravaged and tortured by the Ming army, and his hair was cut off and hung on the city gate tower.
"Uncle, we have to kill more Mongolians later to vent our anger on uncle." Shi Biao said with a sneer.
Shi Heng snorted, "These Mongolian Tatars made his Grandpa Shi suffer so much humiliation, and yet they dare to come this time. Do they really think that our Ming Dynasty has no useful generals?"
"Uncle, I don't know what Yu Shangshu's next plan is. From my nephew's point of view, now that the Mongols are attacking hundreds of miles from Zijin Pass, our army is waiting for work. At this time, it is just right to rush in and kill the arrogance of the Mongolian Tatars. It can also Boost the military morale of our Ming Dynasty." Shi Biao said.
Just as Shi Biao finished speaking, a herald was running along the city gate tower with Yu Qian's flag.
"Yu Shangshu ordered, Yu Shangshu ordered." The herald shouted while running, and the Ming army on the city wall quickly retreated.
When Shi Biao heard this, he was happy.
Does Yu Qian want their entire army to attack and go straight to the Mongolian army?
"Where is Commander-in-Chief Shi Heng?"
"Shi Heng is here."
"According to the order of Shangshu, the total number of soldiers and horses is 30,000, and only the Mongolian army will be taken. It is strictly ordered that the Mongolian army can only advance but not retreat. The Mongolian army must be defeated. If there are any retreaters in the front team, they will be killed by the rear team. Shi Heng will take the order." The messenger. He shouted with a serious look on his face.
Shi Heng took over the command flag and could not restrain his excitement.
Before the Mongols besieged the city, Yu Qian had already made arrangements. Shi Heng was the chief military officer and had the responsibility of guarding Desheng Gate, but he also had the responsibility of supporting other city gates. The broken wall of Desheng Gate condensed the Ming army. Eighty thousand troops and horses, and 30,000 cavalry are on standby in the city.
Of the 320,000 troops in Beijing, there were only 60,000 cavalry, and 30,000 were placed on the Deshengmen defense line, allowing Shi Heng to take on the task of supporting the assault. biquge.biz
Yu Qian's military deployment is to grasp the initiative on the battlefield. The Ming army will fight whenever it says, rather than when the Mongolian army attacks and the Ming army defends.
Under the city of Datong, Zhang Fu and others did not dare to fight head-on because the situation was unclear and they did not dare to lose. Now they have arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The situation is already very clear. If we don't fight hard, it will be over.
Yu Qian believed that the Mongolian army was already a paper tiger at this time. After many days of rapid march, their physical strength had reached a critical point. As long as they were given a severe blow, they would be able to completely take the initiative in the next battle.
After receiving the order, Shi Heng took his nephew Shi Biao, who could no longer bear it, and a hundred sergeants from his headquarters down the city wall.
The thirty thousand cavalry in the city have long been prepared.
"Soldiers, Lao Shi will take you to make great achievements and kill the Tatars."
Shi Biao on the side raised his battle ax and shouted: "The Ming army is mighty."
"Wu, Wu, Wu."
Deshengmen city gate is wide open.
The two uncles and nephews of Shi Heng and Shi Biao took the lead and led 30,000 Ming troops to rush out of Beijing.
The herald kept running on the city wall giving orders.
All the cavalry were mobilized outside the city and the nine gates were re-sealed.
Strict orders, only advance but not retreat.
While he was looking at the gate structure of Beijing City in the tent, a Mongolian ran in.
"Grand Master, the Ming army has all left the city."
After hearing this, he was also very surprised: "What did you say?"
"The scouts came to report that the Ming army had all left the city and formed an array outside."
Also laugh first.
"It's God who helped me. The city of Beijing is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I didn't expect that the Ming army abandoned the city wall and fought with my Mongol warriors under the city. They abandoned their strengths and weaknesses. The people who led the Ming army were as incompetent as their emperor. Extremely."
Ye Xian was extremely happy, he had already seen the scene where he broke into the Forbidden City, sat on the dragon throne, and came to judge the young emperor of Ming Dynasty and all the officials.
Ye Xian was now dazzled by his series of victories. He only considered the weakness of the Ming army, but never considered the experiences of the Mongolian warriors he led during this period.
First, they fought fiercely in Datong City but failed and marched all night.
For the sake of military speed, there was never any serious rest.
Two days later, they advanced to the Bauhinia Pass. After breaking through the pass, they still did not rest and continued to attack.
It was as if the more than 300,000 troops in Beijing were all docile sheep, and they could easily win as soon as they arrived.
But he never considered the Ming Dynasty's determination to resist the Mongols and the Ming army's will to serve the country.
The Mongolian army failed from the beginning of this war.
If so, after capturing Zhu Qizhen first, instead of returning to Mongolia to rest and recuperate, he directly led the army to raid Zijingguan, the outcome of the story may be different.
But now the Ming army and the Mongolian army are fighting another war with a foreseeable outcome. Yu Qian sees it clearly, but Yexian is still immersed in the dream of victory...
