One hundred thousand Ming troops set out from Zijingguan without stopping, and finally saw the outline of Beijing.
Along the way, Zhang Fu and others could see Mongolian soldiers attacking the small county town.
These small counties have also organized regiment training for a long time. Although there are few soldiers in the city, the Mongolian soldiers who retreated from the capital have long lost the vigor they had when they first entered the customs, and there is nothing they can do against these small counties.
At night, because the leaders of each department were sacrificed to the flag first, the restrictions on each department were greatly reduced, and some clever people took advantage of the night to sneak away.
The city of Beijing is so difficult to defeat, so why not plunder the surrounding areas?
The Ming Dynasty had long been prepared to clear the wilderness, and the Mongolian stragglers could only turn their attention to the city.
The capital was besieged by the Mongols, and the surrounding area had long been in turmoil. The Mongolian troops would always encounter obstacles when they went to plunder, and they were afraid of being defeated on the front line, so they did not dare to stay for a long time.
However, the Mongols who did not find any property were so angry that they searched all the houses in the countryside. If they couldn't find any property, they set fire to it.
Statistics after the war showed that Mongolia destroyed thousands of villages and destroyed hundreds of thousands of people's houses.
Zhang Fu immediately sent out 20,000 cavalrymen to search for traces of the defeated Mongolian army all over the capital, while he led the army and continued to rush to the capital.
In the afternoon, we finally saw the city of Beijing.
Yu Qian lived up to expectations and defeated the Mongolian army steadily. Zhang Fu and others were relieved and began to arrange an encirclement.
He also forced himself to calm down first, and began to gather the scattered soldiers. He also gave an order to Agui, who sent people to Xizhimen to supervise the battle, and asked him to gather the troops and horses of Oula's headquarters and let them find the weak points of the Ming army's encirclement and break through on their own.
After gathering tens of thousands of cavalry troops, they rushed towards Zhang Fu's central army.
Now that the Ming army has arrived after a long journey, the formation has not yet been completely arranged. Only by attacking the center of the Ming army at this juncture and disrupting the Ming army's deployment plan can the Oala army be prevented from being completely annihilated.
They are not as good at defense as the Ming army, and they don't have as many firearms to use. They can only use their advantages to the extreme to find a way to survive in a critical situation.
At this time, Ye Xian was also desperate. He went to the front of the formation and launched an attack on the central army of the Ming Army under the artillery fire.
Ye Xian's reaction was so fast that it really disrupted the Ming army's initial deployment.
The troops on both sides of the Chinese army encircled and attacked the Mongolian army led by Ye Xian.
In front of the Chinese army's formation, there were many anti-horse pillars.
Zhang Fu drew out his long sword and shouted to the general beside him: "Kill first, kill first."
Duke Cheng Zhu Shou, Marquis of Taining Chen Ying and others drew out their weapons and raised their arms and shouted.
Since you want to disrupt the deployment, we will get rid of you as soon as possible.
Then the soldiers at the front moved away the horse-rejecting pillars, and generals such as Zhu Shou and Chen Ying led most of the Chinese army to fight.
Zhang Fu was over seventy years old, so of course he could no longer charge. The rush during this period had already made him exhausted. If he hadn't had the strong desire to return to the capital, he would have fallen ill on the way.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Chinese camp charged towards Ye Xian's army.
Another fight.
After hearing Ye Xian's order, Agui didn't dare to hesitate at all. He didn't care about the Mongolian soldiers who were fighting bravely at Xizhimen, and immediately led his troops and horses to roam around the battlefield to rescue the soldiers from Wala's headquarters. .
As soon as Agui's war supervisors retreated, the Mongolian soldiers who attacked Xizhimen were immediately routed thousands of miles away and fled for their lives without a trace of order.
Yu Qian, who was on the city wall, couldn't see that far away. He was looking at the chaos of the cavalry under the city wall and was thinking about the next attack plan.
An investigating scout came running in panic.
"Yu Shangshu, Yu Shangshu, the British Duke Zhang Fu has led an army of 100,000 people to 30 miles away from Beijing and is fighting with the remaining soldiers of Yexian."
After Yu Qian listened to the scout's report, he laughed out loud.
"God bless the Ming Dynasty. Send the order quickly. Outside the city wall garrison, the entire army will be sent out to cooperate with the British troops who come to help to annihilate the Tatars."
After Yu Qian's order went down, the Ming army, which acted quickly, opened its nine gates and hundreds of thousands of troops pressed forward.
More than ten thousand Mongols were killed.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable to him, Agui could only give up rescuing his Oara compatriots and led his troops to gallop towards the northwest.
He saw Ming soldiers all over the mountains and plains.
Knowing that his side had been surrounded, he sent someone to blow the horn in an attempt to find their grand master.
But he was afraid that Agui would lead his troops to rescue him, so he had already discarded his own flag, and did not allow the horn soldiers around him to respond to Agui's horn sound.
He failed, but he couldn't lose all of Wala's wealth.
He was willing to use his own life to open a road of life for the warriors of Wala to the prairie.
Yes, when he saw the Ming army led by Zhang Fu, he knew his failure and thought of a solution in the shortest possible time.
Did he ever regret not listening to Asashi's opinion? No, he never regretted it at all, because what the warriors of Great Mongolia wanted could only rely on the horses under their crotches and the scimitars they held high.
Although he failed, his descendants would succeed. If no one dares to try to attack Beijing, then his descendants will forget the glory of their ancestors.
Ye Xian was not afraid of death. The only thing he was not reconciled to was that his adventure plan did not succeed and he failed to do what Genghis Khan Temujin did.
Agui also reacted in a short time. He understood Ye Xian's painstaking efforts, and then ordered the 20,000 cavalry behind him to charge towards the Ming army.
Because Ye Xian disrupted the situation, the Ming army led by Zhang Fu did not arrange it well. In addition, Ye Xian used himself as an introduction to attract the attention of the Ming army.
The current encirclement has not played a very good role.
Agui led 20,000 cavalry and broke through the first line of defense of the Ming army at a very low cost.
After the breakthrough, Agui did not stay. He went to Zijingguan to find Aci Zhiyuan, the second-ranking figure in the Wala Army, to discuss how to rescue the grand master.
But Agui didn't know that Aci, who was supposed to be guarding Zijingguan, had already died in Zijingguan. He also didn't know that their grand master was trapped in a tight siege. His head would be cut off by a Ming army in a short while. Drop it, and then pass it to the first nine sides to shock morale.
Those who fought hard also knew his ending first, but they didn't know that A Qi in Zijin Pass was already dead.
If they want to attack Beijing, they need to break through Zijingguan or Juyongguan. However, Juyongguan is too close to Xuanfu. The two sides can support each other. In addition, the defense force of Juyongguan is several times that of Zijingguan. In a short time, the Mongols It couldn't cause serious damage to Juyong Pass at all, and it might be another battle for Datong, so I chose Zijin Pass on Xi Ning's suggestion.
The number two figure, A Ci, was left to guard Zijingguan because Zijingguan was the only escape route for the Wala people and must remain in the hands of the Wala people.
But Zijingguan has not been lost from beginning to end...
