After hearing Zheng Kang's words, Yu Wenfeng did not dare to neglect and hurried towards the city wall. Although his expression did not change along the way, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
By the time Yu Wenfeng reached the city wall, Guandu, Liu Tong, and Fu Xia Gongji had all arrived. Without caring about anything else, Yu Wenfeng hurriedly stepped forward and looked into the distance, only to see another scene in the distance.
There are barbarians camping. Looking at the camp, it is much bigger than yesterday.
Liu Tong said with a bitter look on his face, "Master Yuwen, there are about three thousand barbarians here."
After defeating the Hu people yesterday, Yu Wenfeng did not let Niu Er lead people out to investigate, so no one could figure out the details of the Hu people this time. However, when the Hu people came this time, they were not like the wave yesterday.
, no one came to call for formation, but just set up camp silently.
Yu Wenfeng was also annoyed. He had just sent away a group of barbarians, but why did another group come and still not let them stop?
Fortunately, we defeated the Hu people this morning, and now our morale is still usable. The weapons collected in the morning can also arm some of the young men.
As for whether he can hold it, Yu Wenfeng is not sure at all. Seeing that Yu Wenfeng did not speak, Guandu, Liu Tong and other four people also did not speak, and there was a silence on the wall...
In the evening, the barbarians suppressed the plundering people and went around cutting down trees and carrying stones. Yu Wenfeng felt a chill in his heart. They were making siege equipment. Jinzhou was really in danger.
Soon, night fell, and Yu Wenfeng did not dare to neglect and did not go back. He, Guandu, Liu Tong and other four people rested in the arrow tower to prevent the barbarians from attacking the city at night. Fortunately, the night was uneventful, but Yu Wenfeng and others were all
I didn't sleep well, and only fell asleep in a hazy state at dawn.
Soon, I heard someone shouting: "The barbarians are retreating, the barbarians are retreating..."
After Yu Wenfeng heard this, he stood up quickly, went out directly, stood on the city wall and looked at the place where the barbarians camped yesterday. He only saw a mess, but the barbarians were gone.
Guandu, Liu Tong and the other four people who followed Yu Wenfeng were also ecstatic when they saw the barbarians retreating.
However, Yu Wenfeng felt that this matter was not that simple. In order to prevent fraud, he waited until noon and put three people down in a hanging basket. One of them was Niu Er and asked them to go to the barbarian camp to have a look.
In fact, there was nothing that could be done. Yu Wenfeng didn't have any capable personnel around him, so he could only ask Niu Er to take someone to make another trip.
After a while, only Niu Er ran back with the other two people, and sent them up in a hanging basket. As soon as Niu Er came up, Yu Wenfeng and others surrounded him.
Yu Wenfeng asked anxiously: "Brother Niu Er, how are you doing?"
Niu Er replied with joy on his face: "Master, the barbarians have really retreated. The camp is in a mess. It is obvious that they retreated in a hurry. There are also many half-burned ladders and other siege equipment."
At this time, Yu Wenfeng was really relieved. Even the siege equipment was burned. The Hu people had really retreated, but he was careful not to open the thick city gate because of the Hu people's retreat.
Guandu, Liu Tong, Fu Xia, Gong Ji and other four people also breathed a sigh of relief. The past two days were more wonderful than what they had experienced before. First there was great sadness, then great joy, then great sadness, and finally, great joy again, which made them
All four of them are a little crazy. There is no way. These days are really exciting and tugging at people's heartstrings.
In the afternoon, Yu Wenfeng finally understood why the Hu people were retreating, and reinforcements arrived.
Yu Wenfeng guessed that the Hu generals must have retreated overnight after learning that reinforcements were coming.
The leader of the Hu people is named Batu, and he is a chief of ten thousand households. He is forty-eight years old, short in stature but very strong, and likes to use a sword. His title of chief of ten thousand households is not a wartime title, but the permanent royal court of the Great Khan.
The official position of the Guards. Don't be deceived by his appearance. Not everyone can become the head of the permanent army of the Royal Court.
This time, he was the leader of the five thousand Hu cavalry heading south. As soon as he got inside, Batu understood that his purpose was to plunder and destroy. He wanted to plunder and destroy hard. So he broke up the team and separated them.
He only took five hundred people with him. In the past two days, after counting the time, it was almost time to retreat, so he began to send scouts everywhere to gather people. By yesterday, there were almost three thousand people. But then, the bad news came, uh
The surviving tribesmen of Ris found the large army and cried to Batu.
Although Batu disagreed in his heart and thought that Erris was useless, he couldn't say it like this. He quickly expressed comfort and then ordered his troops to take revenge.
After arriving in Jinzhou, he didn't ask too much. He only asked people to build siege equipment and prepared to capture Jinzhou City in one go. During these days when he went south, Batu fully understood the weakness of the Qin people.
But at night, the scouts reported that a large number of Qin troops were coming to Jinzhou. Batu weighed it and realized that if he was bitten, he would definitely not be able to return to the grassland easily, and he might have to throw away all the slaves and property he had robbed, so
Withdrew overnight. As for being eaten by the Qin army, Batu had no such idea at all...
Ever since Guzhou was captured, there had been a lot of quarrels in the court, with civil and military officials blaming each other and arguing all day long. But surprisingly, no one from the five major families spoke up. In the end, His Majesty the Emperor lost his temper.
Suppressed, and finally ordered the Beijing army to come to support.
As for the leader, of course Yu Wenfeng's cheap dad Yu Wenji, but he sent people from the Li family as his deputies. This set of balance is a bloody emperor's art.
Seeing the reinforcements, Guandu, Liu Tong, Gong Ji, Fu Xia and others were really relieved and sent people to open the city gate and let people contact them.
As for Yu Wenfeng, after knowing that the leader was his cheap dad Yu Wenji, he took people directly back to Yuwen Villa. This left Guandu, Liu Tong, Fu Xia and Gong Ji at a loss.
Yu Wenfeng did not explain anything and left in a very cool manner. However, when he left, he was not so cool and took away some horses and weapons. As for this trivial matter, Liu Tong, Fu Xia and Gong Ji did not notice it.
Even if they noticed it, they had no time to pay attention to it now. Now all their thoughts were on asking for credit from Yu Wenji.
In the year 1455 of the Divine Calendar, Northern Xinjiang was defeated and the important town of Guzhou fell. Five thousand Hu cavalry went south, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes. The commander of the Beijing army, Yu Wenji, led his troops north to support, and after joint operations with other frontier troops, the Hu people were finally defeated.
Da Qin was driven out of the territory of Qin. In this battle, Da Qin lost hundreds of thousands of people and countless property. The frontier army lost 50,000 and the Beijing army lost 4,000.
This defeat made the Hu people see the weakness of Great Qin more clearly. This battle was the beginning of a nightmare for Great Qin, allowing the Hu people to penetrate deep into the territory of Great Qin for the first time.
After the war came politics, and then a series of rewards came down. In this battle, the defense of Jinzhou was the only highlight, and 500 heads of barbarians were captured. The small officials of Jinzhou, Guandu, were appointed by the emperor to Beijing.
He directly jumped up to the fifth rank and entered the Yushi Department. Guandu was originally from the imperial examination. With such merit, no one can say anything.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that Guandu will become more developed from now on, and high-ranking officials and generous salaries will be easily available in the future. His Majesty appointed him to the Yushi Department, and he will reach the sky in one step. Everyone knows that His Majesty is deliberately cultivating him.
As for Liu Tong, Gong Ji, Fu Xia and other An people, they were promoted. Gong Ji and Fu Xia were transferred to the south, while Liu Tong continued to serve in northern Xinjiang.
Yu Wenfeng also has a place on the list of a series of awards. Yu Wenfeng was awarded the rank of San and the sixth rank of Zhongwu Colonel.
The so-called casual rank refers to having an official title but no position. Yu Wenfeng can be said to have reached the sky in one step. Some people will never be able to get official positions in their lives. Yu Wenfeng is better, going directly from Bai Ding to the sixth rank. But compared to his merits, only
