Datong Town.

After several days of continuous clouds, it was raining heavily in the middle of the night last night. For some reason, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since Emperor Tianqi gathered heavy troops on the western route, the entire town has been under martial law.

The general order of Datong General Zhang Wanbang was more severe than the imperial edict, and all transactions were prohibited. Even nearby hotels, inns, restaurants, and restaurants were not seen.

Martial law was to prevent the Mongolians from becoming merchants and entering the city. This happened once in Fushun. Li Yongfang's surrender caused a lot of sensation across the country.

But after all, he was the first border general to surrender to the Eastern Lu, so it was normal that he had such a great impact.

However, many defenders in the town were not very nervous. Anyway, the battle was in the area of ​​Khahukou on the west road. They were in the town, so the Mongolians would definitely not be able to fight in.

After Zhang Wanbang left under the order, he left behind a general who led more than 10,000 subordinates to guard the city. This general who was also from the general was called Shi Yongzhen.

Shi Yongzhen had no achievements. With the blessings of his ancestors, he became a general in charge.

Just dawn, a Ming cavalry walked out of the horse shed while yawning, sweep the horse shit, and then changed the forage for the horse.

He turned over and the horse, and just walked out a few streets, and before he could leave the city, he cursed:

"How could there be a Mongol in such weather? The general doesn't treat us as human beings. Why do you do when you go out of the city? Are you going out to get cold and wind?"

No matter how much you scold, you still have to go through the process you should go through.

Zhang Wanbang set eight major military rules, and was extremely strict in control, and was particularly good at large-scale position warfare. He was convicted of death by violating military orders. Therefore, his troops in his headquarters have always been strict in military discipline.

This is also why Zhu Xieyuan led the Datong Army to the front during the Liaodong War.

As soon as he left the city gate, he felt the biting chill. The cavalry regretted not adding a cotton coat. He was about to go back, but suddenly he thought of something and drove out of the town.

Before leaving, a man on the top of the city always greeted him enthusiastically:

"In such weather? Do you also need to go out for a sentry?"

"Are you brisk? Just hide from the top, but I'm in trouble? You have to go out to find Mongolians! Really? How could there be Mongolians!"

The cavalry did not look back and left with complaints.

"I'm so terrifying weather, if it weren't for the general's order? Who would have wanted to go out! I feel cold when I stand here? Stop talking about them riding horses..."

Surprisingly, the head of the city didn't feel angry, but instead looked at the backs of the cavalrymen who were facing all directions when they left the city? Then they rubbed their hands? They shrank their necks and quickly retreated into the pier.

The cavalry was walking around outside the city, but did not walk far away. He found a place to squat for about half an hour and went back to Datong Town.

He came to the General's Mansion? He whispered to the several guards who were having their meals:

"General, it's a lot of storm outside? I haven't seen any trace of the Mongolian horse team, so I should have gone east to Weizhou."

Shi Yongzhen was a little surprised? He picked up the water and took a sip, frowned and said:

"The Tang newspaper the day before yesterday said that the Mongolians had broken through the border wall? The commander of the Zhenlu Guard died? I am still afraid that I have come to Zhencheng? Could it be that I have gone to Xuanfu?"

After all, the cavalry had something to do in their hearts. Before they came back, they thought about a word and said with a smile:

"I don't know if I have seen the places I should explore carefully. I really didn't see any traces left by the Mongolian horse team."

"The general also knew that the haze for several days has rained heavily last night to now. When the little one left the town, he saw that the fields were lonely and there was no figure."

"When I came back, all the doors were still calm, and no abnormal situations had happened."

After hearing what he said carefully, Shi Yongzhen's mind was a little calmer. Indeed, such heavy rainy days were not conducive to marching or siege.

It is not known whether the Mongolians went to Xuanfu or not, but it seems that at least the Mongolians will not come to the town again today. When Zhang Wanbang comes back, the matter will not be under his control.

Thinking of this, Shi Yongzhen waved his hand and asked the two generals to retreat and go to patrol each. He suddenly became sleepy and went to bed with peace of mind.

In the afternoon, noisy shouts suddenly broke out everywhere in the town.

"The Mongolian army has entered the city!"

"Run, run!"

The general who was patrolling the city seemed to understand something at this time, and quickly reported the situation to Shi Yongzhen who was sleeping.

Shi Yongzhen was also awakened by these increasingly noisy sounds. Before the servants came in, she got up and picked up the sword standing beside the bed, put on her coat and armor, and rushed out of the room quickly.

When he went out, he was full of emotions with the servant who was coming to report the news.

Shi Yongzhen was caught off guard and almost knocked to the ground by this strong servant. He staggered back a few steps before he stood firm, shouting:

"What a panic! It's not the Mongols who attacked the city!"

The clerk didn't care about the reckless crime just now, so he knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped his fists and shouted: "Report to the general, it was the Mongols who are attacking the city!"

Shi Yongzhen was stunned, and then slapped himself hard. This was really a crow's mouth. The Mongols actually came to attack the city.

He was a little excited and looked at the frightened servant and said:

"Didn't the morning's inquiry say that there was no sign of the Mongolian horse team? Why did you come to attack the city again in the afternoon? Who is responsible for the investigation? I insisted on killing him for dereliction of duty!"

The servant shook his head repeatedly, and Shi Yongzhen also knew that the city was in chaos now, and finding people was not an important matter. The most urgent task was to block the Mongolians.

Datong Town, one of the nine borders, has never been surrounded or conquered by the Mongols!

If this happens to me, it will be a bad reputation for thousands of years!

"Let's say, how many people are there?"

"It's so dark, countless!"

"Prepare horses, prepare horses quickly, I'm going to climb the city!"

When the sky gradually became dark, Shi Yongzhen, the highest military general in the Datong Town Power Center, finally appeared at the East Gate Tower, where he needed him the most.

The general's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly at this time, and he murmured:

"There are too many, and there are so many dense people that I'm afraid there will be more than 100,000 people..."

At this time, the sky was not completely dark, and the glamorousness of Dongcheng was very good, and you could see a long distance at a glance.

Shi Yongzhen came over, held the mercenary with one hand, and shouted after hearing this:

"Nonsense! There are only a few people in Mongolia, and they use more than 100,000 people to enter the pass and rob. He won't be able to leave a single male student in his headquarters!"

"I see, it's only tens of thousands of people at most!"

Although that's the case, even if only tens of thousands of Mongolians came to attack the city, their number was still much larger than that of Datong Town, which had only more than 10,000 left by the Ming army.

Shi Yongzhen looked around and saw that it was not only the East City, but also surrounded by countless Mongolian cavalry on the south, west and north.

The scimitars outside the border with the cold light shining under the sunset, the rain of arrows in the sky that were denser than raindrops, and the Mongolian horse team with flags fluttering all made him, the gangster who was not familiar with the war, frightened.
