Under the city of Dongchang, the high-morale Yan army is like a bloodthirsty lion, under the command of the invincible Yan King, the following team is arranged, and the dull footsteps shake the sky.

Although there were small defeats, the morale of the officers and soldiers was like a porcupine, and the sword halberd was like a forest, and the people were numerous, and they went out to fight against the city under the leadership of Sheng Yong.

Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan's soldiers are united, and the strength exceeds the 100,000 people of the Yan army, reaching about 150,000. The day before, Tie Xuan ordered the slaughter of sheep and cattle to reward the whole army, and used the oath to inspire the soldiers to fight to the death.

At this moment, Zhu Di rode his horse leisurely, very proud, he thought that Tie Xuan was forced to fight to the death, because the grain road was cut off, the soldiers lacked food and clothing, and there was no military salary, Dongchang City had no savings, and the surrounding counties were plundered by the Yan army, so they couldn't support it.

Zhu Di said confidently to the generals on the left and right: "Breaking the official army can only be a plan, he wants to fight quickly, I don't fight, he wants to fight, I will disturb him." This time, the king will personally lead the elite cavalry out of the enemy's rear, once the rear officers and troops are defeated, the whole army should march with a clamour, and the thief army will be defeated by the enemy. If they do not succeed, they will disturb their camp and terrify their hearts. ”

The generals were full of momentum and agreed, Qiu Fu was responsible for commanding the 60,000 infantry army, and Zhu Neng led the 30,000 cavalry army.

On the other hand, Tie Xuan, who implemented the strategy of waiting for work at ease, actually did not want to fight a decisive battle immediately, originally thinking of a long-term confrontation, taking advantage of the landlord to make the Yan army exhausted and disturbed, and then waiting for an opportunity to defeat it in one fell swoop. However, recently, I felt the anger of the whole army aroused by the burning and killing of the Yan army, so I thought that the army's morale was enough to fight.

After the two sides finished arranging, the rumbling war drums sounded, and Zhu Di took the lead in leading 3,000 battalions and other 5,000 iron cavalry to directly attack the left flank of the official army, which seemed very unscrupulous.

However, the Zuoye officers and soldiers were backed by the city, so the people's hearts were stable, and the Shandong soldiers wanted to avenge their fathers and fellow villagers, and were loudly inspired by the generals and captains, and a monstrous roar surged in their chests. At that moment, 20,000 officers and soldiers immediately met the enemy desperately, without retreating a single step.

The right army of the Chinese army of the official army was unmoved, looked very calm, kept the formation unmoving, and let the comrades go to the bloody battle of the Yan army, which can be called the most elite five thousand iron cavalry, under the flying of flesh and blood, they were not afraid of death to block the galloping footsteps of the war horses.

If Xu Hao was here, he would definitely be surprised, because the silence of the officers and soldiers was palpitating, and such a calm enemy was undoubtedly the most terrifying.

It's a pity that Zhu Di has no time to observe the enemy army in the middle of the battle, and he sees that the officers and soldiers are not afraid of death. didn't want to waste the lives of his subordinates in vain, so he commanded his men and horses to kill the Chinese army.

Seeing this, Tie Xuan, who was standing at the head of the city, said, "Let the traitors in." ”

At the moment, the Chinese army opened the battle and deliberately let the Yan army rush in, and quickly surrounded it, Qiu Fu, who was in command, did not wait for the king of Yan to rush the enemy, so he ordered 60,000 foot soldiers to attack, and suddenly the Yan army thought that it would be another big victory next, and one by one the morale was high, and rushed over like a sea of mountains.

Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers prepared sufficient firearms and poison arrows, and they hit the Yan army overwhelmingly in an instant. Thousands of people were killed on the spot, and countless were wounded, so that the Yan army had to be defeated and retreat.

At this time, Yang Wen, who was supposed to return to Liaodong, suddenly led 50,000 cavalry to kill from the rear. The Yan army was forced to turn around to meet the enemy, which made Zhu Di fall into a heavy siege and could not get out.

Zhang Yuyuan, who should have died in this battle, was in Hebei, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu led five thousand horsemen to rush to the rescue, and Sheng Yong ordered the withdrawal of a battalion of soldiers and horses to resist. This made the pressure on Zhu Di in the bitter battle reduced a lot.

In the bloody battle, Zhu Neng, who was anxious for the savior, wielded a war knife and frantically slashed the officers and soldiers, killing most of the cavalry. desperately rushed to King Yan's side, and fought to the death to cover Zhu Di's breakthrough. In the chaos, Qiu Fu didn't know that Zhu Di was safe, so he anxiously led dozens of soldiers to the center of the enemy formation, and after killing hundreds of people in succession, he was killed with all his strength.

There are enemies everywhere, Zhu Di, who rushed out first, was furious and turned around to kill the enemy, the two armies fought until dark, but they could not save the defeat, Sheng Yong led the official army to take advantage of the momentum to attack, capturing and killing more than 10,000 Yan soldiers.

The Yan army defeated Yang Wen's Liaodong army, and the well-trained slowly retreated to the rear, listening to the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops, Zhu Di also followed the hateful hasty retreat.

The next day, Zhu Di, who had lost his love for generals, ordered a storming of the official army like crazy, and completely fell into Tie Xuan's calculations, and after a bloody battle, it was the Yan army that collapsed first.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and the defeated Yan army can no longer be controlled by Zhu Di, and the scattered army is dozens of miles away.

Zhu Di had to personally take hundreds of guards to shoot and kill the officers and soldiers who were approaching step by step, and he was about to be surrounded, but fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu brought people to rescue and repelled the officers and soldiers.

The fleeing Yan army withdrew to Guantao, unable to fight again, and most of the losses of grain and grass had to be returned to Beiping immediately, but Sheng Yong had already reported the general's situation to the world, and Chen Hui's department confronted Zhang Yu's father and son's Shenji battalion, Qu Neng, Wu Jie and other generals attacked Hebei one after another, to cut off the way for the Yan army to retreat.

Tie Xuan issued a decree begging the Shandong army and the people to help in the war, and the fierce Shandong people took up arms to attack the Yan army from all directions.

Sheng Yong and Yang Wen took the opportunity to follow the slaughter, and in just a few tens of miles from Guantao to Weixian, the Yan army walked for two days, completely falling into the vast sea of the people's war, with more than 20,000 casualties.

It was the first day of the first month of the first month to flee to Wei County, and at the time of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, the 50,000 Yan troops who survived no longer had the pride of the past, and they were still thousands of miles away from Beiping, and they had to follow the Yan King to rush through the layers of defense set by the strong enemy in order to survive.

The wounded Zhu Di counted the men and horses and was grief-stricken, and the most warlike Mongolian elite and cavalry were almost killed and wounded, and the remaining Duoyanwei cavalry was less than 3,000.

The cruelty of the battlefield is unbearable to witness, the captured Yan army is often covered by the angry Shandong soldiers and civilians, cut off their eyes, cut out their hearts, and disembowel, Tan Yuan was killed because of the broken leg of the horse, thinking that the Yan army killed three thousand soldiers in the pit that day, and there is retribution in the cycle of heaven.

At the same time, Xu Hao, who destroyed the earthen wall of Fuyu City with more than a dozen artillery pieces, was staging a wonderful battle for Lu Zhong and other Duoyan people.

The Ming army that invaded the city relied on the earthen wall to defend, so that the Mongolian cavalry who were good at archery had no use, and the people who rescued the city launched a number of charges regardless of the people, but were shot by muskets in turn, leaving corpses all over the ground.

Habtu, who was captured, saw his people die in large numbers, and cried out in pain: "Surrender, surrender." ”

"Toast and don't eat and drink!"

Xu Hao, who was cold, pretended to be relaxed, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it weren't for the firearms and sneak attacks. The brothers braved the cold and walked for a few days, but they had already lost their physical strength and were unable to engage in white-knuckle combat, and I was afraid that two thousand Mongolian cavalry would be able to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor.

Looking at the rare earthen houses in the city and the spectacular scenery in the distance, Tongliao has abundant water and fertile land like Daning, and of course more sandy land, it is a rare oasis on the grassland, and the powerful Horqin people have developed and grown because of the fertile grassland here.

It's a pity that there is no danger to defend, even if you have worked hard for decades to build solid cities and roads of cement and concrete. Xu Hao had a hunch that after death, nine times out of ten, he would have to be abandoned by the unruly court and descendants, unless there were real guns, bullets and machine guns at that time.

If it is ultimately in vain, now that it is entrusted to Duoyan Sanwei, it will actually be very peaceful here until he dies, and it is already a matter of the Yingzong period when the Tile Thorns are slaughtered. Anyway, after hundreds of years, this place will be China's territory sooner or later, which means that it is not cost-effective to spend people and countless money and food to operate?

In the end, Xu Hao decided to give it a try first, otherwise why bother to come here? If you don't succeed, pull it down, there's no need to dwell on it.

Xu Hao, who occupies the territory of 30,000 people, will not leave for the time being. Now it can be regarded as a strong Mongolian side, waiting for all parties to play, if you dare to come.

Just as the Dongchang victory came from the front line, the army and the people bravely surrounded and intercepted the Yan army. Emperor Jianwen, who was far away in Beijing, was celebrating the appearance of the "Divine Treasure of Condensing Life".

The so-called "Life Condensing Treasure" is a two-foot square green jade seal. Legend has it that when Emperor Jianwen was the crown prince of the emperor, he dreamed that the gods conveyed the order of the emperor and bestowed a heavy treasure.

Anyway, the truth or falsehood is up to Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, to decide, probably because he learned that the fourth uncle Yan Wang, who was chattering with gods, played feudal superstition. Those who learn from others are not to be outdone, and let the subjects of the world know who is the destiny of heaven.

As soon as Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, an envoy group ordered the Living Buddha to hit the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to congratulate. Offer a piece of green jade obtained from the snow-capped mountains.

This green jade is two feet square, and the texture is warm and chestnut, which is rare in the world. Emperor Jianwen later went to Suzhai Palace to daydream, and sure enough, he dreamed of the past when the gods sent treasures, and suddenly woke up. So he ordered the craftsman to cut this jade into a large seal, and carved it finely.

From the first month of the second year of Jianwen to the present, it took a whole year to complete. Its inscription is determined by Emperor Jianwen himself, as "the mandate of heaven is Mingde, the table is square, the essence is in the middle of the execution, and the universe is Yongchang" 16 characters.

Since the founding of Hongwu, most of the treasures and seals of the imperial court are four-character, such as the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the Son of Heaven, the treasure of the Son of Heaven, the letter of the Son of Heaven, etc., and other Jingzong Temple uses the "treasure of the emperor's respect for relatives", and the order is given with the "treasure of respecting the heavens and the people", and the book is used as "the treasure of the chapter and the history", which has been an outlier.

Therefore, this work of the Divine Treasure of Condensation is really a special case. But the treasure of sixteen characters is not the invention of the Jianwen Dynasty, Song Hui Zongzheng and eight years of the "destiny treasure", its text "scope of heaven and earth, praise the gods, protect the Taihe, longevity without borders", also sixteen characters.

However, it was during the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty, and Cai Jing, who liked to be unconventional, was not surprised to have such an exaggerated move, and soon the Jingkang disaster occurred.

Now Fang Xiaoru claims to be a true learner, and Huang Zicheng and others are loyal and diligent to the country, but they have such a vain act when the beacons are everywhere and the state affairs are uncertain, which is really uneasy.

On the first day of the first month of the third year of Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen led the ministers to sue the Heaven and Earth Temple, and the Imperial Temple was congratulated by hundreds of officials. Inside and outside the Fengtian Gate, the flags cover the sky, the guard of honor stands in a forest, firecrackers and drums sound in unison, hundreds of officials bow down and worship, and the sound of the long live mountain is dry in the sky.

It seems that the Jianwen monarchs and ministers have really received the mandate of heaven in this way, and from then on, the universe will be eternal and prosperous. However, it didn't take long for the news of Dongchang's victory to come from the front line, and the monarchs and ministers inevitably made a lively and lively celebration ceremony to enjoy the temple and tell Dongchang the victory.

Soon, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, who were originally dismissed in order to delay their divisions, were restored to their official positions by the key emperor, and the court was jubilant for a while. (To be continued......)
