The night is silent. Under the vast night sky, on the vast frontier land, on the Great Wall that winds like a giant dragon, there are ignitions flashing. The soldiers wear armor at night, stand at the Great Wall, looking north at the desert, fulfilling their responsibilities of defending the land.
And one of the points that extends to the Great Wall, Datong Prefecture City has now changed to the sky.
Mongolia knocked on the edge and captured Datong. Now, on this stretched Great Wall garrison line, Datong has changed its tower into a king's flag, and in fact, it has been occupied by Mongolia.
The Mongolian flag was flying, and on the city tower, there were not Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck war robes, but Mongolian soldiers wearing various grasslands.
Under the night sky, with the fire flashing, Mongolian soldiers gathered on the city tower in groups of three or three, full of loose aura. For most Mongolian soldiers, defending the city was really the first time.
By copying the rules, I learned the city defense system of the Ming Dynasty, but learned the Four Nosenses.
But no matter how relaxed the defense, the tall and majestic city walls were enough to leave enough reaction time for the Mongolian soldiers stationed in Datong.
However, Datong City has been different in the past few days. Since Mongolia captured Datong, the closed city gate has been completely opened in the past few days and has become a transit point for materials.
The Mongolian Iron Cavalry plundered the territory of the Ming Dynasty were sent to Datong, and then from Datong to the grassland, day and night, and never stop!
Trucks of supplies continued, tied up by hemp ropes. The people in rags were like livestock, and they were almost numbly moved forward amid the whip and scolding of Mongolian soldiers.
Shi Bangyao, the former envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the fourth-rank court official, was now trapped in such a numb team.
The reason was that after Datong was captured, several Mongolian khans were full of ambitions, and their original concerns about Shi Bangyao were completely put down, so they had to fall to this point.
However, compared with the numb eyes of ordinary people, even though Shi Bangyao was ragged and blood-stained, his eyes were still bright and bright. However, no matter how bright and bright, it was hard to hide his grief and anger under this scene!
People are like livestock, their wealth is robbed, and their place is severely damaged...
Everything is not sad or angry!
The only thing that is thankful is that Zijing Pass is still there, and the Ming Dynasty is still there!
"kill!"
"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
"The mountains and rivers will always be there!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
Just under the night, the sudden shouts of killing suddenly made Shi Bangyao's body tremble. He looked in disbelief in the direction of the sound. He saw the iron cavalry rushing, and the long-lost sun and moon bright flag was also reflected in Shi Bangyao's eyes clearly under the light of fire, until he reached the bottom of his heart!
When the scholar was also encouraging, Shi Bangyao did not hesitate and pulled the hemp rope that had been secretly untied by him, snatched the scimitar of the Mongolian soldiers beside him, shouted loudly, and cut it off with one knife.
Blood splattered all over his face. Shi Bangyao, a civil servant who was powerless, was like a soldier charging into the battlefield. He cut off the hemp rope that bound the people with several swords and shouted loudly: "Kill the Tartars!"
In just a few numbers, it seems that all the grief and anger that has been suppressed for the past few months is extremely refreshing!
The iron cavalry suddenly arrived and charged and fought. The Mongolian soldiers who were transporting supplies also fled wildly.
"Who are you?"
Li Dingguo stood up and stared at Shi Bangyao with a bloody face.
Hearing this, Shi Bangyao sorted out his clothes, looked solemn, and bowed to Li Dingguo: "Ming Ming, Minister of the Honglu Temple, Shi Bangyao!"
"Shi Bangyao?"
Li Dingguo raised his eyebrows. He was familiar with this name. When he was in Shaanxi, he heard the general say it once and praised this person's character.
It is rare for generals to never like literati.
"Can there be proof?"
Li Dingguo asked.
Hearing this, Shi Bangyao took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and then carefully unpacked the cloth bag. A token and a silk book in the cloth bag were revealed.
Compared to Shi Bangyao's embarrassment, the tokens and silk books in the cloth bag are obviously well preserved.
A piece of envoy's order and a letter to the Ming Dynasty.
Li Dingguo was naturally familiar with these things, and he was determined at just one glance.
Li Dingguo asked in confusion: "Why is the sir?"
“It’s a long story…”
Shi Bangyao shook his head: "The war is important, let's talk to the general in detail after the war."
Speaking of this, Shi Bangyao looked at the direction of the Iron Cavalry's charge and said, "I have been in Datong for some time and have a little understanding of the Mongolian military deployment. If the general does not dislike it, I can be a pioneer and lead the general."
"Then I'll bother you."
Li Dingguo nodded: "Come here, take a horse to Lord Shi!"
The personal guard behind him also immediately dismounted and led the war horse to Shi Bangyao. Shi Bangyao turned over and the horse. With Li Dingguo waved his hand, dozens of soldiers immediately came to support the guards.
"kill!"
Li Dingguo shouted softly, and the stagnant cavalry suddenly surged, and as the battle flags flew, they charged forward.
Li Dingguo originally thought Shi Bangyao was just talking casually, but he really followed Shi Bangyao's guidance and Mongolian garrisons fell one after another under the charge of the Iron Cavalry. Only then did Li Dingguo realize that he had a little understanding of this, and how much he understood it!
This plan takes one night to eliminate the Mongolian soldiers of Datong, and under the guidance of Shi Bangyao, it has shortened nearly one-third of the time.
By dawn, the remaining enemies in the city had been completely eliminated, and the bright flag of the sun and moon was floating again on the city tower.
This lost frontier city has returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
"This time, the surprise troops will be used to regain Datong and temporarily cut off Mongolia's retreat. Mongolia will definitely not give up, and may counterattack..."
On the city tower, Shi Bangyao put on a clean dress and stood beside Li Dingguo, saying a little worriedly.
Li Dingguo shook his head: "Duke Qin has returned to his army. These Mongolians in Monan have obviously received news. The Zijing Pass has been fighting for a few days. Mongolia robbed everywhere, obviously they are ready to run away after they are robbed."
"If the border is short of troops, if Mongolia wants to retreat, it may not be able to stop it."
"Also, Mongolia doesn't have to return to the grassland from Datong. There are so many levels on the frontier. In the previous battle of Datong, the frontier forces have been drained..."
Hearing this, Shi Bangyao was suddenly silent, but then his eyes suddenly lit up and he suddenly said, "Maybe use the raid tactics!"
Speaking of this, Shi Bangyao was obviously quite excited and talked freely:
"The shape of the wandering army is moving and quiet, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, watching the victory and striking the prosperity, forming the old and moving towards the earth, breaking the four meridians!"
"The general's command of thousands of elite cavalry come and go like the wind. Mongolia retreats and plunders many wealthy people. It will definitely make its march bloated. The general does not need much results. He just needs to delay the speed of the Mongolian march so that the Qin Gong army can come..."
Listening to Shi Bangyao's statement, Li Dingguo couldn't help but lit up his eyes. He avoided the real and attacked the virtual, and attacked him unprepared. If he just delayed, it seemed that it was not something that could not be accomplished.
"It's a pity that Lord Shi and great talent don't lead troops to fight!"
Li Dingguo praised him and said, "I will report to the Governor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger came hurriedly, and a military order was also handed over to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo took it and saw that his originally happy expression suddenly froze.
Although Shi Bangyao was puzzled by this change in expression, he was not a man in the military and naturally would not come forward to inquire without his own knowledge.
Li Dingguoqiang squeezed out a smile and looked at Shi Bangyao and said, "Master Shi's strategy may not be implemented anymore. Duke Qin has made other arrangements."
"Mr. Qin has arrangements..."
Shi Bangyao didn't ask much and nodded: "Qin Gong used troops like a god. I think there must be a complete plan. Shi will not show off his skills. The general can follow Qin Gong's arrangement..."
Li Dingguo smiled embarrassedly, but put the military order in his arms without any trace...
