However, the outside world did not know about this. After returning to the coastal guard station, the navy of the three major divisions of Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang strictly ordered to keep silent, while Baozong was still rushing to Jiaozhi on the vast sea.
War broke out suddenly.
After receiving the imperial order, the Guangxi Dusi immediately mobilized the local garrison forces that had been gathered long ago to launch an offensive against the Annan army outside the Guangxi border.
I never thought it would come to nothing!
The commander of Annan's army was familiar with the art of war and used an empty city strategy. He built plank roads openly and secretly to Chencang, and went around to the left of Guangxi Dusi to avoid being flanked by Guangxi Dusi and Yunnan Prince Mu's Palace. He even pointed his sword at Guangdong.
Guangxi Dusi remained calm in times of crisis.
The generals analyzed the situation on the sand table for a long time and came to the conclusion that Annan's army wanted to go to Guangdong to unite with the rebels in Taiwan.
That's a good feeling.
Let Annan's army go to Guangdong!
At that time, the Guangxi Dusi only needs to hold on to the border between Guangdong and Annan, and he will be able to block the Annan army within the territory of the Ming Dynasty and annihilate it sooner or later.
Under this situation, Yunnan Muwang Mansion can basically stay put.
But for some unknown reason, Prince Mu’s Mansion suddenly sent troops to Guangxi!
really.
Guangdong Dusi’s analysis was wrong.
After Annan's army circled around the junction of Guangxi and Guangdong, it turned out to be a roundabout strategy and penetrated behind the Guangxi Dusi army again. Under the surprise attack, Guangxi Dusi suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the reinforcements from Yunnan Prince Mu's Mansion arrived in time, and Guangxi Dusi avoided the embarrassing situation of annihilation of the entire army.
As soon as Prince Mu's army arrived, Annan's army immediately retreated strategically, and the two sides faced off again.
Annan's wishful thinking is clearly revealed.
Will not take the initiative.
But if Ming Dynasty takes the initiative, they will be able to fight back.
Annan is waiting.
When the situation in Taiwan changes, when war breaks out in Mobei, and Ming Dynasty is attacked from both sides and fighting on three fronts, Annan's pressure will be greatly reduced. At least if he loses, he will not be chased by Ming Dynasty.
Guangxi Dusi and Yunnan Mu Wangfu can only find opportunities in the confrontation.
In the south, Annan and Ming Dynasty confronted each other.
In the north, the war broke out in Mobei.
The Mobei tribes, including almost all the tribes except the Torgut tribe, headed by Maoli Hai, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Helinger outside Datong, intending to tear a hole in the Great Wall defense line and enter
The territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are not meant to harass the border.
It’s a southern invasion!
Daming had already taken precautions.
In addition to Liaodong's capital being wary of the Jurchens, the border troops distributed a large number of troops in Xuanfu, Datong and Wanquan. As the Mobei coalition forces appeared in Horinger, Shanxi and Shaanxi border troops were quickly transferred to Datong for reinforcements.
,At the same time, the Hexi Corridor has also strengthened its monitoring of the Hami area and the Hetao area.
Beware of the troops in Mobei.
The general military officer responsible for the defense against this southern invasion by the Mobei tribes was the veteran general Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu took command of Datong and dispatched troops and generals.
Suddenly, the border was full of chaos.
Zhao Fu was based in Datong, and after analyzing the situation, he and his generals came to a surprising conclusion:
Although the Ming Dynasty deployed heavy troops in Datong, it seems that the tribes in Mobei will not attack Datong, but will divide their troops and look for opportunities to tear a hole in the entire Great Wall defense line in Shaanxi and Shanxi. However, according to the division of troops in Mobei
Judging from the situation, their ultimate goal is to tear through the defense line from Datong!
All disturbances in other directions are fog.
Zhao Fu immediately wrote to the court.
Over in Gyeonggi, after receiving Zhao Fu's military report, Zhu Qiyu summoned all the ministers to Qianqing Hall. After analysis, everyone believed that Zhao Fu's worries were justified. Yu Qian proposed, and Zhu Qiyu made the decision. Ming Dynasty immediately mobilized troops, and the regiments and camps were reconciled.
Almost all the twenty-six guards of the army came out, including 30,000 troops from the regiment and battalion, who rushed outside Shanhaiguan to assist the Liaodong capital and guard against the Jurchens taking advantage of the situation.
The 26 pro-army guards and tens of thousands of remaining regiments rushed to Datong and Xuanfu.
It was not as expected by Zhao Fu.
The Mobei tribes were in Shaanxi and harassed many Guancheng on the Shaanxi defense line. The Ming Dynasty remained unmoved. Datong's troops stayed at their original positions and only transferred troops from Shaanxi and Shanxi to Guancheng for reinforcements.
Although Guancheng was defeated, it was quickly filled with reinforcements.
The two sides struggled on this line of defense for two months.
After the tribes in Mobei failed to find the opportunity they wanted, they finally couldn't bear it anymore. In August, hundreds of thousands of troops headed by Maoli Hai appeared outside Liangcheng of the Great Wall on the border of Datong.
We must attack Datong hard!
Liangcheng is an important border town in the Ming Dynasty.
With the arrival of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Mobei tribes and the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty stationed, this border city suddenly looked like a dark cloud was threatening to destroy it, and the war was about to break out.
Both sides deployed troops and generals on the Datong defense line, each investing hundreds of thousands of troops. The invasion of Mobei from the south in the 18th year of Jingtai became a life-or-death battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Mobei tribes.
Everyone inside and outside the customs was extremely nervous.
Everyone knows that after this battle, either the Mobei tribes will cease their activities and rest for more than ten years, or the Ming Dynasty will be shattered.
And with Ming's temperament, he would not pay tribute at all.
So if the Ming Dynasty loses, it may become the next Song Dynasty.
Throw away half of the country.
At the critical moment, something happened in Hami that completely changed the situation.
No one expected that the Hami area, which had been under attack and defense all these years, would become the winner of this war. Just when the armies of Mobei tribes appeared outside Liangcheng, tens of thousands of people gathered in the Hami area.
A huge number of troops followed the front line that Prince Zhu Jianji swept from west to east and headed straight for Liangcheng outside Datong.
The general officer of the large army that appeared in the Hami area was Funing Marquis Zhu Yong.
The vanguard is the young army!
Ten thousand infantry troops equipped with Dongfeng rifles!
Using the young army as an arrow, the hundreds of thousands of troops marching eastward from the Hami region were unstoppable. Wherever they passed, the peripheral troops of the Mobei tribes were almost beaten into shit.
No peripheral force can stop the young army in the slightest!
Soon, the army from the Hami area broke through the outer defense line of the Mobei Allied Forces, and approached the main force of the Mobei Army outside Liangcheng. Together with the Ming Dynasty army from the Datong area, they formed an attack on the main force of the Mobei Allied Forces outside Liangcheng.
Encirclement gesture!
The tribes in Mobei were trapped in a tight siege and were stunned.
They don't understand, where did Hami get its hundreds of thousands of troops?
How did the magic soldiers descend from heaven to Liangcheng?
Why can they rush to help Datong so quickly?
There are only a few guard posts in Nu Wen Da Shi Li and Ba Tamur, and they are not full of personnel. At best, they only have ten or twenty thousand people. Even if they are combined with the guards in the Hexi Corridor of the Ming Dynasty, they only have forty or fifty thousand people.
The most puzzling thing is, didn’t the Ming army only have 10,000 soldiers?
Moreover, these ten thousand people were training in the sea area of Dengzhou Guard, and now they have gone to Fujian to conquer the small imperial court in Taiwan. How come they appeared outside the pass, detoured from Hami, and formed a large circle to surround themselves?
But it's true.
The Mobei Allied Forces outside Liangcheng have to face internal and external attacks from the Ming Dynasty's army, and there are war machines like the Donggong Young Army. How can the Mobei Allied Forces still have the will to fight?
Hastily retreated.
How could Zhao Fu miss such a good opportunity? He immediately led his troops to attack and cooperated with Zhu Yong. The two armies advanced together and launched a big chase on the Mobei grassland. They chased for hundreds of miles and beheaded tens of thousands of enemies!
When the news spread back to the capital, the Ming Dynasty's ruling and opposition parties rejoiced.
