On the wall of Datong City, Commander Zheng Yu of Shanxi Province was patrolling. The Mongolian cavalry, which had been dormant for a few days, became rampant in recent days. Every day they pulled up teams to perform martial arts outside the city, seeming to show them the combat power of the Mongolian cavalry.

Zheng Yu looked at the overwhelming formation outside the city and had a headache. To be honest, since he took office, the number of Mongolian cavalry in the previous few times was not large. Before, they looted some food and population at the border. This time he sent five troops.

Wan Tieqi probably has no good intentions.

"Cheer up and wake up. Even if you are sleeping, your head will move! Keep an eye on everything. When the Tatars come up, they will immediately release their arrows. Don't let them even take a step up the city wall." Zheng Yu walked toward the city.

The soldier above ordered.

"General, the Tatars are just bluffing. They have been wandering around outside the city in the past few days, and there is no sign of attacking the city! The brothers are so worried every day and cannot sleep well. They are tired." A thousand

I guess I haven't woken up yet, yet I dare to complain about the commander's order.

When Zheng Yu heard this, he became furious and whipped the commander-in-chief in the face. He shouted, "You bastard, what are you talking about? Didn't you see 50,000 Tatar cavalry just outside the city? If you don't want to die,

Don’t be afraid of getting tired!”

Mr. Qian was whipped, and he suddenly became much more awake. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, General, I will remember it."

Outside the city, in the Mongolian tent, Dayan Khan Batu Mengke was looking at the military map intently. Manduhai was wiping the armor of his husband Dayan Khan.

"Great Khan, the envoy Sang Gan we sent to the Ming Dynasty is about to come back. It's time for us to suffer some hardships for the Ming army. We have been walking around in circles outside the city every day for the past few days, so it's time to go into the sheepfold and eat some sheep."

Batu Mengke shook his head and said: "No, the walls of Datong are high and thick. We are all cavalry, and we can fight in the field. If we attack the city by force, not only will there be heavy casualties, but even if we shed blood in vain, we will not be able to take it down."

This city.”

Manduhai heard the conversation between the two and interjected: "The Great Khan is right. Attacking the city by force will only increase casualties. We must find a way to lure the Han people out to fight with them.

Thinking of this, Batu Mengke came up with a plan and said with a smile: "Aren't the Han people the most honorable? Let's humiliate them, slap them in the face, and let them come out to fight. Bolger, go and pull out the underwear of the Han women we captured.

Hang on the saber, then it’s not my turn to teach you!”

Bolger said with a lewd smile: "Don't worry, Khan, I know what to do.

I saw Mongolian cavalry lined up outside the city. The man leading the charge was the Mongolian army Wangu Bolge. Each of their sabers had Han women's underwear hanging on them.

"Listen to the Han people in the city, my Great Khan wants you to come out and reminisce about old times. Some of you Han people are our prisoners and are now being held in our military camp. If you come out, we will release them!" Bolger said and waved his hand.

He took off the woman's underwear.

The sharp-eyed soldiers on the city had already seen it and hurriedly called the commander Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu could see the Tatars' trick at a glance. They wanted to lure him out of the city and then wait for an opportunity to attack Datong.

Some of the captives outside the city may be fleeing refugees who happened to encounter the Mongolian cavalry and were captured and enslaved. Some of them were civilians plundered by the border towns that the Mongolian cavalry had invaded in the past few days. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people in Datong, they

Get up, which is heavier or lighter? Zheng Yu's heart is still stable.

"Since you are my vassal state in the Ming Dynasty, why bother our people? If you really want to release them, just release them. Why bother to go to such trouble? I am the governor of a province, and I have to help defend Datong, so the military affairs are complicated.

It’s not easy to get out of the city. How about you ride into the city alone?” Zheng Yu stood on the city wall and shouted.

When Bolger heard this, he was furious. What did he mean by letting himself enter the city? He immediately cursed: "Han slave, I advise you to open the city gate and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the cavalry will destroy the city and no chickens or dogs will be left! You must watch carefully, I will

Behind you are 50,000 Mongolian cavalry!"

Zheng Yu sneered and said: "I am the commander of the Ming Dynasty. Why do you surrender? Why don't you surrender? I will think about it. How about I give you an official position and let you lead the horse for me?"

"Attack!" Bolger was already grumpy. After hearing that Zheng Yu wanted to appoint him as a horse leader, he could no longer bear it. He immediately led a group of cavalry to charge and prepare to attack the city.

Seeing that the scheming plan was successful, Zheng Yu immediately ordered: "Fire the arrow and shoot me hard!"

Suddenly thousands of bows and arrows were fired, and the Mongolian envoys who rushed at the front fell off their horses one after another. Under the intensive attack of arrows, the Mongolian cavalry could not move an inch. Even Bolger was hit by an arrow in the arm. Hundreds of Mongolian cavalry died in vain, and they were left in the wilderness.

And escape.

Back in the tent, the Mongolian military doctor was dressing Bolger's wound when he was startled by a sudden roar.

"Damn Han people, they are just like turtles. They hide in their ghost shells and can't even scold them. It makes me so angry!"

Faced with Bolger's complaints, Manduhai frowned. These Mongolian generals were all capable of charging into battle, but they were not as resourceful and knowledgeable as a Han Chinese. If things continued like this, how could Mongolia take control?

Central Plains?

When Batu Mengke saw Manduhai frowning and listened to Bolger's constant complaints, he was also furious and shouted: "That's enough! Can't you use your brain to do anything? Defending the city is always the strength of the Han people.

Do you think they will abandon one of their strong points and come out to fight with you on horseback?"

Hearing Batumengk's anger, Bolger didn't dare to yell for a moment. Batumengk reunified the grasslands, conquered the Mongolian tribes, and was hailed as the master of the revival of the Great Mongol Empire. He was also the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire today, although he could not

Compared with Genghis Khan, it is rare to have such a heroic leader in Mongolia today.

Seeing that her husband was angry, Manduhai came over, hugged the young Dayan Khan, kissed him, and said softly: "I have a plan."

Hearing that Manduhai had a plan, Batu Mengke beamed and hugged Manduhai sideways. Maybe my Hatun had a solution. I wonder what Hatun is going to do?

"Order them to plunder the towns around Datong, only to rob things, not to kill people. They set fire to all their houses and make them homeless. Finally, they are driven to the gate of Datong because they don't believe that the Han people will not open the door."

Batu Mengke smiled and said: "As Hatun did, Bolger and Sukhbar, did you all hear it? Each of them led 3,000 men to plunder the surrounding towns. Remember not to kill people, only rob things. Give them to me.

Drive them all towards Datong City."

"Yes" Bolger and Sukhbal took the order and went out.

"Mongolian warriors, now I will take you to rob the Han people's property and rob the Han people's women!" The two of them each led a cavalry and roared and left separately.

In Datong City, just after repelling the Mongolian cavalry, the commander-in-chief Zheng Yu quickly summoned his men to discuss countermeasures.

It seems that the Mongols do not want to give up. Taking a lesson from the Lanzhou Guard, Datong must not be broken by the Mongols. Otherwise, with the speed of the Mongolian cavalry, they can reach the capital in one day.

"The Mongols are very ambitious. It seems that they will never go back until they break the Great Harmony. Tell us what we should do next." Zheng Yu sat in the middle and asked.

"General, according to the bidding, there are as many as 50,000 Mongolian cavalry. We must not leave the city to fight with them in the field. As long as we close the city gates and defend the city, they will not be able to attack."

"Yes, they will naturally retreat if they cannot attack. We have enough food and grass here, so we can drag them down."

"Report..." A messenger ran in quickly.

"General, the Mongols divided their forces into two groups and headed towards the towns around Datong."

"I don't know how many families are going to be destroyed..." Zheng Yu sighed helplessly.

At this time, the general Li Ren suddenly knelt down and said sadly and angrily: "General, please pull out the five thousand men and horses of the last general and let the last general go out of the city to rescue the people."

"No, if you go out with five thousand troops, it will be like throwing an egg at a stone." After Li Ren said this, someone immediately objected.

"Are we just going to watch those unarmed people being bullied by the Mongols?"

Zheng Yu shook his head and said: "We must put the overall situation first. You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of people in Datong waiting for us to protect them."

"As soldiers, we can't protect our homeland and our country. It's hateful, it's hateful!" Li Ren cried and roared to the sky.

Outside Pushou Village, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry divided their forces and surrounded the village.

A householder issued an order to his men: "Mongol warriors, go rob the Han people's things. Take all their women back to be slaves and servants! But first, don't kill people, just rob things, and then drive out all the Han people."

Let’s gather in the east, do you understand?”

At this time, a Mongolian cavalry asked in confusion: "General, didn't we kill all their men before robbing the women?"

Baihu waved his whip and ordered again: "This is the Khan's order. This time is different from the past. We cannot kill them. There are other uses for keeping their humble lives. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed immediately!"

"Woooooo," the Mongolian cavalry roared, waving their sabers, and began to charge towards Pushou Village.

"Run quickly, the Tatars are coming again..."

Facing the Mongolian cavalry, the people of Pushou Village were so powerless. In order to defend their village, their property, and their women, some men in the village took up farm tools and fought to the death with the Mongols.

The Mongolians, who were robbing things, became obsessed with grabbing things. When they got mad, they didn't care about so many things. All the men who resisted were killed with one knife.

"My food, give me back my food..."

"Help, help..."

"Wow...wow..."

The entire village was filled with the wails of women, the begging of old men for mercy, and the cries of several babies. The village that was full of life just now seemed to have turned into a cemetery.

Outside Pushou Village, Mongolian cavalry led more than a hundred people one after another in an open space outside the village. What was left in the village were corpses all over the ground and houses on fire everywhere. Although Baihu had ordered before, no

Quasi-murderous, but many people still died in the village.

When Baihu saw this, he pretended not to see it. After all, in his eyes, the lives of Han people were not worth mentioning.

"Drive all these Han slaves away and drive them to the gates of Datong City."
