Chapter 2078 The second line of defense

In the quiet night, a certain outpost on the city wall of Datong section is on duty.

Zhao Zihao, a hundred households, was a general who rose from the soldiers and participated in the Shanzhutan victory. At this time, he was eating the mutton that had just been roasted by his subordinates. He proudly pointed out to Jiangshan: "You all said that Chengzu's five battles against Mobei are powerful. If the emperor trusts Lin Ge Lao the most, I, Zhao Zihao, dare to use Xiang Shang's head to ensure that Lin Ge Lao will definitely be able to help us avenge our previous shame and achieve greater achievements than Cheng Zu!"

"Zhengzu beat the Tartars to escape back to the depths of the grassland. Isn't your urge too much?" his subordinates continued to roast the lamb, retorting with some caution.

Zhao Zihao bit the fragrant roasted lamb, but sneered: "Mr. Lin Ge, can let us eat meat and let many of us ride a good horse, which is better than Chengzu! If our Ming Dynasty really wants to fight, relying on the military merit system of Master Lin Ge, which is clearly rewarded and punished, and with the deep plan of Master Lin Ge, those Tartars are just paper tigers!"

"That's right! There is Master Lin in the court now. I am not as scared as before when I watch over the night. Even if the Tartars army breaks in from us, I will stand on the city wall to provoke them!" The subordinates cut a piece of roasted lamb with a knife and said with great ease.

As soon as the words were finished, the ground seemed to shake slightly, and the few surrounding the fire couldn't help but look at each other.

"Not good, the Tartars army came to invade!" The two soldiers ran in panic and looked like they were as white as paper.

Zhao Zihao's brows immediately frowned, but blamed his subordinates: "You crow's mouth!" Although he blamed his subordinates like this, he knew in his heart that this matter had nothing to do with his subordinates, and it was mainly because the Tartars wanted to come to the Ming Dynasty to loot again.

With the stars and moon, Zhao Zihao easily saw the black Mongolian cavalry coming towards the city walls on their side like locusts. However, he did not forget his responsibilities, but immediately ordered the beacon tower to light and pass the message back.

But things always go wrong, but I don’t know what’s going on with the beacon tower next to me. The soldiers there didn’t know whether they were rebelling or all fell asleep, but they didn’t see any movement for a long time.

Zhao Zihao made a quick decision, but immediately rode on the only horse and led his subordinates to check the situation, and he was also preparing for a bloody battle in his heart.

"Kill in!"

Altan led 60,000 cavalry to the established collapsed wall. Seeing that the collapsed wall had been cleared out by the White Lotus Sect, he ordered the trail loudly.

Even though he led 60,000 cavalry, it was not a very difficult thing to break through the pass and enter. It was precisely because of this that he did not intend to break through the pass and enter, but chose to step into the Datong Mansion of the Ming Dynasty from the collapsed wall.

The sixty thousand cavalrymen looked like a group of hungry wolves, and they seemed unstoppable.

Although the beacon tower has spread the news, the nearby garrisons have just received the news, but it is impossible to go to snipe this powerful army, so they can only strengthen their defenses.

A small-scale battle occurred on Zhao Zihao's side, and the small group of White Lotus Cultists were quickly wiped out. Although the beacon fired up in full, many residents in the military camps were sleeping and did not know that such a dangerous thing would have happened.

The 60,000 cavalry led by Altan had strong mobility. Under the leadership of military advisor Zhao Quan, he quickly captured a earthen fort by using the star and moon march.

The next morning, the sun rose from the east.

As Altan's army left, the fort ignited a raging fire, and the houses in the city were burning, leaving only four walls that witnessed history.

The streets in the fort seemed to be everywhere, and blood formed a thick layer of blood in the ditches. However, after being baked by the fire in the city, it turned into spots.

This is not a war, but a killing. This was originally a simple and cheerful little paradise, but now it has been destroyed by robbers who have come from the grassland. Nearly a thousand soldiers and civilians have all been massacred.

A few survivors returned from their hiding place outside the fort. Looking at the burned home and the deceased relatives, they knelt on the ground and made sob cry. Several of them resolutely decided to join the Datong Army.

Facing the 60,000 invading Mongolian cavalry, even if the current Datong general is Shihuashan, he must first dispatch troops and generals to defend, and then wait for reinforcements from other border towns to arrive, so that he can have enough strength to expel Altan's army.

Altan's army showed an ugly face, but continued to hold the scimitar high.

Along the way, whenever you encounter the Ming people, you will draw your sword and kill them, and whenever you encounter the village, you will burn, kill, loot, and every step is like walking forward in blood.

Zhong Jin, who was with Altan, led a small group of troops to the village to burn, kill and loot. Once a woman becomes crazy, she is indeed even more terrifying than a man.

"No, their target is Shanxi!"

While the cities in Datong were considering how to defend, some people found that Altan went south and unexpectedly broke through the inner Great Wall defense line.

The northern defense line of Shanxi is located on the inside of the Great Wall of Datong and Xuanfu Towns. Because there is a Great Wall here, this Great Wall is also called the Inner Great Wall.

The Ming Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen didn't have time to return to the Great Wall from Zijing Pass, but chose to stay at Tumu Fort 50 miles away from Zijing Pass. As a result, Yesen rushed forward, causing the defeat of the Tumu Fort Incident.

The Great Wall in Shanxi starts from Zhenbao Town Great Wall in the east and ends at the Bietou Pass on the Yellow River in the west. It has been perfectly defending against the outer Great Wall defense line after it was broken through. The enemy's troops drove straight in.

But now, things suddenly became weird.

It was not surprising that the army led by Altan entered smoothly from the Datong wall, but they seemed to have a pair of sharper eyes and found a broken wall in the inner Great Wall at the first time.

That's why the two originally most effective lines of defense were drilled by Altan's army and rushed into Shanxi Province, which had relatively weak military strength, which caught the Ming Dynasty completely off guard.

"There are countless treasures here, the fragrant Ming women, and everything you want, let's kill them!" After stepping into the inner Great Wall, Altan laughed greedily.

Although he had been disturbing Jizhou earlier, his target was never Jizhou, but Shanxi, which is not much worse than the capital, and this hinterland with equal abundant supplies.

In addition, there is one thing that always looks like a heart attack.

Hamuba Du'er escaped in the last time when he was defeated and fled, and he has not yet been found. The reason why he chose to invade Shanxi this time is because he is thinking of Hamuba Du'er in Shanxi.

However, this unexpected action made Shanxi, who had learned the news, immediately became a mess.

Because he is in the inner Great Wall, the number of troops in Shanxi Town is the smallest, with only more than 50,000 people. This is the number of people on the list, and the real data will only be lower.

That's why they used to fight against the fierce Altan army. Once they were broken, they would only be slaughtered by these greedy barbarians.
