"Good news, good news..."
A little eunuch ran to the Yangxin Hall in a panic.
Then he knelt down under the dragon case and said to the Empress Dowager Sun and their young emperor: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Yu Shangshu sent someone to deliver good news. The enemy army was first defeated in the city and more than 20,000 people were beheaded. First, we must retreat hastily with those Mongolian Tatars thirty miles away."
After listening to the little eunuch's words, Empress Dowager Sun sighed lightly, but she could not see the joy or sorrow.
"It'll be good if you win." It was just Yun Danfeng's gentle words.
Zhu Jianshen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He won the first battle, which dampened the arrogance of the Mongols. He only had to wait for the reinforcements from the important towns outside the pass to come back and encircle them.
Daming, passed the first level safely.
History has changed.
The British Duke Zhang Fu, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Shou and other nobles were not trapped and died in the civil engineering, but Yu Qian prepared for the defense of Beijing a month in advance.
The border troops outside the Pass rushed to the gates of Beijing in a mighty manner.
Yu Qian supervises the battle army in high spirits, and is about to teach Ye first.
Although Zhu Jianshen did not know how to fight, he also understood in his heart that compared with the Mongolian armies, the Ming Dynasty had a crushing advantage in terms of weapons and numbers.
Under this advantage, if Yu Qian and Zhang Fu and others outside the pass cooperate seamlessly and can truly completely annihilate the Wala headquarters, then the situation in Mongolia will be chaotic again, and they will not be able to invade the Ming Dynasty for twenty years, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to invade the Ming Dynasty. You can recuperate and restore your national strength.
He can do nothing but rely on these figures who have left a magnificent mark in the history books and let them fight a war to turn defeat into victory and revitalize the country's destiny.
The night is getting dark, the fighting in Beijing has stopped, and it is very quiet.
It is still so majestic, as if it is no different from before.
But the smell of blood and gunpowder that filled the air, and the headsless corpses of the Mongolian invaders a few miles away, all proved that a big battle took place here during the day.
Although the battle in Beijing has stopped, the battle at Zijingguan has not.
Azhi led his troops and horses to fight fiercely with the Ming army in the city. For two days, they did not take the initiative. Instead, the huge cavalry army was trapped in a small corner of the city by the Ming army. They tried to break through, but were blocked several times. The Ming army led by Chen Ying and others were repelled and were still compressing their space.
Han Qing did not fight for blood on the battlefield, and Sun Xiang did not die to serve his country.
The Ming army defenders and the cavalry that came to the rescue suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the Mongolian soldiers also suffered 20,000 casualties in Zijin Pass. The terrain in the city prevented them from maximizing the power of the cavalry.
A Ci, a veteran who had followed him for decades, was now in a state of despair.
His fears came true.
Most of Mongolia's military strength will be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army in the pass.
At first, the battle under the city of Zijingguan was evenly fought, but after the army and horses led by A Ci entered the city, they also gained the upper hand.
The Ming army on the city wall was almost defeated, and the Ming army in the city and the untrained people did not pose much of a threat to Asi.
They will be able to turn the tide of the battle right away and completely control the Bauhinia Pass.
One hundred thousand reinforcements led by Zhang Fu and Zhu Shou arrived.
The Mongolian cavalry who fought with Chen Ying and others below the city had no intention of fighting anymore after seeing the mighty Datong frontier troops arriving. At first, only a small group of cavalry tried to escape, but in the end, most of the Mongolian cavalry They all began to retreat, and were then divided and annihilated by the Ming army led by Zhang Fu.
The morale of the Ming army who saw the army arriving for reinforcements on the city wall soared. In comparison, the Mongols fighting on the city wall were in chaos.
One goes down and the other goes up.
Mongolia's advantage on the city wall gradually disappeared, and more Mongolians were thinking of getting off the city wall quickly, finding a good horse quickly, and escaping with their lives.
Han Qing led the Ming army to take advantage of this opportunity to recapture the lost city wall and kill thousands of Mongolian soldiers.
After taking care of the Mongolian troops under the city and on the city wall, only Asashi's headquarters was still raging in the city.
After his subordinates heard that the Datong border troops were coming to help and that the outside of the city had been controlled, Aci immediately made a decision. All the cavalry rushed out of the city. Only after leaving the city could they fight Zhang Fu, even if they wanted to retreat. , there are more opportunities outside the city than inside the city.
But Zhang Fu had already made arrangements and deployed thousands of people on the main road to the city gate.
Horse-rejecting pillars were placed all over the road to block the impact of the Mongolian cavalry.
Thousands of Ming troops raised their three-eyed guns, or bows and arrows, and began to attack as soon as they saw the silhouette of the Mongolian cavalry.
Tens of thousands of frontier infantry were advancing slowly.
The Mongolian cavalry was unable to attack with force, and was slowly squeezed into a small area of the city by the Ming army.
The horses were bumping into each other and it was so crowded that even if they wanted to shoot arrows to fight back, their inner panic and lack of physical strength made it impossible for them to do so.
Ah Ci, who was crowded in the crowd, kept issuing orders, asking the Mongolian cavalry to charge at all costs.
But at this time, the Mongols had just seen what happened to the charging cavalry, and ignored his orders. Even if some of the men and horses in the headquarters wanted to carry out Aji's orders, they were physically limited and unable to complete the charge.
Rounds of arrows were fired at the Mongolian cavalry.
The Mongols were unable to resist and fell to the ground.
A large part of these Mongolians participated in the civil forts. At that time, the helplessness and panic of the Ming army also arose in their hearts.
"We are willing to surrender."
The outermost Mongols threw their scimitars to the ground, hoping to save their lives.
Azhi, who was in the center, saw the Mongolian army on the periphery throwing their scimitars on the ground, and closed his eyes in resignation.
If Zijing Pass cannot be defended, then the army's only retreat route will be blocked.
He originally wanted to be loyal to Ye first, but at this time, the Ming army had absolute geographical and military advantages. Even if he wanted to do something, he could not do it.
But when the Mongolian army rushed here, even if they surrendered, the Ming army would not accept it.
Ah Ci seemed to have seen the fate of his tens of thousands of cavalry.
Many people in the frontier army understand Mongolian.
When he learned that the Mongolian army was about to surrender, he temporarily stopped the attack and passed the information to Zhang Fu at the rear.
Zhang Fu is riding a horse, and behind him are the noble generals of the Ming Dynasty.
"What do you think?" Zhang Fu said softly.
"General, it seems that the war is not over yet. There are still hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry under the walls of Beijing. We should reserve our full support for the capital and kill all these Mongols." Chen Ying took the lead in expressing his position.
Veteran General Yang Hong also said: "After the Mongols entered the pass, they burned the houses of the Ming people, trampled on the farmland, stole property, and killed our people. How could they be spared? They should all be killed, and their bodies should be transported back to Jiubian and thrown away." On the grassland, it shocked all the Mongolian tribes."
"The heart of a foreign country is like a jackal, old Duke, please give the order." Zhu Shou, Duke of Cheng, said.
Regarding other strategic arrangements, the nobles all had different opinions, but on the life and death of these Mongolian Tatars, all the generals were surprisingly unified.
After listening to the opinions of the generals.
Zhang Fu ordered that the Ming army gradually advance and kill all Mongolian soldiers, whether they were standing or those who surrendered, leaving no one behind...
