Daming: Let you supervise the country according to the order, and you go to cultivate immortals?

Chapter 164

Time flies, the fifth of May.

Sudi, Jiayuguan.

The beacon fire outside the customs has been burning to the extreme, and every second is intertwined with blood and fire.

The sound of fighting, shouting, and the sounds of fierce battles filled every inch of the air.

At a glance, it is not only the corpses piled up like mountains under Jiayuguan.

Even above Jiayuguan, there were dead bodies lying there, so that Geng Bingwen had to order the establishment of a special handling team to remove the piled up corpses so as not to hinder other soldiers' defense.

Geng Bingwen's eyes were already dark, and after a little calculation, he hadn't had a deep sleep for more than half a month.

This veteran, who was nearly seventy years old, guarded the city gate almost day and night, not daring to relax in the slightest.

"Old General."

Zhu Xi was also very tired, and now he came to Geng Bingwen's side and let out a long breath.

"The enemy's offensive has finally shown signs of slowing down."

He looked at the Timur vanguard army that was constantly rushing outside the pass.

Since last night, it is obvious that the offensive is weakening.

"Ah."

Geng Bingwen nodded.

Even Zhu Li could detect this, of course Geng Bingwen knew it.

I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, the dawn finally came.

At the moment, there is only one word 'boil'.

If this last time can be passed, then this wave of offensive and defensive battles will end in victory, and then the army can be rested for a period of time and breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as he can breathe a sigh of relief, Geng Bingwen is sure to last for another ten and a half months.

Geng Bingwen swept across the soldiers on the city gate, and the soldiers' armor was stained with blood one by one, and the sound of killing was loud.

Although these soldiers are quite energetic, they are actually holding their breath. If the breath dissipates, they will probably collapse.

Now Geng Bingwen can only hope that this tone can persist, at least until the enemy's offensive fades away.

Boom!Boom!Boom boom boom!
woo woo woo...!
At this moment, there was the beating of drums and the sound of a high-pitched tripod.

"what happened?"

Zhu Yu, who was originally sleepy, suddenly woke up, and subconsciously looked into the distance, his face turned pale in an instant.

Geng Bingwen, who was beside him, also saw the situation in the distance clearly, and his wrinkled face became more and more wrinkled.

As far as the eye can see, there is no end.

Timur's main army has arrived.

Geng Bingwen's enthusiasm turned cold.

Of course Geng Bingwen knows what he has to worry about.

He asked himself that no one in the world can defend a city like him, but the premise is that it is within a certain range, not the exaggerated gap as it is now.

"Zhu Di's second line of defense has been constructed."

Geng Bingwen asked in a condensed voice.

If the pass is breached, the only option is to retreat to the second line of defense with the remaining soldiers.

But the premise is that this second line of defense must be completed.

"It should take about three days."

Zhu Yu didn't even think about it, and answered directly.

He just got the news that the Beijing camp army that conquered the southern border had only arrived in Qin last night, with an army of 10,000+, no matter how much Zhu Di worked overtime, it was impossible to get it done overnight.

"Pass down the order and stick to it for three days to create time for Zhu Di."

Geng Bingwen took a deep breath, and slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.

Zhu Yu, who was beside him, saw Geng Bingwen drawing his sword, and his heart fell to the bottom.

Geng Bingwen draws his sword, which means that when the time comes for life and death, he can only stick to the front line.

I saw outside Jiayuguan, the enemy army that was rushing through the pass, receded like a tide at this moment, but this did not mean that the offensive had faded, but that the main force had replaced it.

Among the main force of Timur.

An extremely luxurious canopy chariot pulled by eight black horses drove up.

He is obese, with cheeks all over his face, and there is a bewitching beauty in his arms on the left and right, quite like Dong Zhuo.

This person is Bhutan of the Timur Empire, and Timur is lame.

"Your Majesty, the main force of our army has launched an attack."

A strong white-haired old man riding a black horse came to the side of the cart.

He is the commander of this million army, the Black Tower.

What he said was a variant Mongolian language, which the Han people could not understand.

"Ah."

The cripple nodded, and glanced across Jiayuguan in front of him, with disdain in his eyes.

On the side of the carriage, there is also a carriage with six white horses. It is exquisite and magnificent. Although it is not as luxurious as the lame man, it is also extremely dignified. Sitting on it is a very beautiful blue-eyed man with wavy long curly hair. For a woman, the dress on her body is even more gorgeous.

As for the figure, it can only be described in eight words: choppy waves and thousands of ravines.

The woman looked at Jiayuguan in front of her with a pair of blue eyes, her expression calm.

Behind the woman's chariot, there was a huge special team, all of them were white-skinned men in robes and riding white horses.

"The national teacher believes that this city needs an army of mages to take action."

The cripple looked at the blue-eyed woman and asked tentatively.

It can be seen from the tone of voice that the crippled Timur respects the national teacher very much.

"It's all up to His Majesty."

The woman spoke lightly, without even looking at the lame man.

Lame Timur smiled resentfully, but didn't say anything more.

Over the years, most of the reason why he was able to be invincible in a very short period of time, across Central Asia, was because of the existence of this woman. Whenever he encountered a city that could not be conquered, as long as this woman made a move, it would be a matter of course.

But the cripple knew it in his heart.

This woman is a knife by his side.

You can kill others, and you can kill yourself.

Therefore, in recent years, as the capital in his hands has become more and more abundant, as long as he can not let this woman make a move, the lame man will not let her make a move.

His gaze swept across Jiayuguan in front of him again, the cripple thought for a moment, but he gave up the idea of ​​asking this woman to take action, after all, he brought 150 million people with him.

Such a huge army, even if one person stepped on it, could level the city gate in front of him.

"His Majesty."

At this moment, a tall, thin man in battle armor came to the lame man.

This person is the coach of the Lame Pioneer Army, and he has been attacking Jiayuguan for more than half a month.

"For more than half a month, I haven't captured the first city. I know what to do."

The cripple glanced at the tall and thin man coldly, his tone cold.

The thin and tall man also gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved in his heart. He never thought that a small Jiayuguan would be so difficult to attack. With the blessing of mysterious power, the whole army continued to attack for more than half a month and still failed Take it down.

"I know."

After finishing speaking, the tall and thin man suddenly drew his knife.

Without hesitation, he slashed at his left arm with a knife.

The severe pain hit, and the tall and thin man was sweating coldly, but he forcibly held back his voice.

"Ah."

The lame waved his hand.

The tall, thin man saluted again and retreated.

"Pass down my decree, capture Jiayuguan within one day."

The cripple opened his mouth lightly.

There was contempt in his tone.

In his opinion, this first battle to swallow up Ming Dynasty must be fought with awe-inspiring momentum.

The woman with blond hair and blue eyes next to her was looking at Jiayuguan in front of her with cold eyes. She was thinking about one thing.

At whose hand did her junior brother die, and how did he die?

........................

Qin land, border line.

If Timur's crippled army breaks through Jiayuguan, Sudi will be occupied without any suspense.

In the next step, the goal of Timur's army will not be to Qingdi on the right, but will choose to slope straight down to Qindi.

As long as you win the land of Qin, you can drive directly to Yingtian Zhili all the way.

Zhu Di's brows were tightly furrowed. He had just finished inspecting the military bases and had just received the battle report from Jiayuguan.

Who is Zhu Laosi? According to the analysis and prediction of the battle situation, he can definitely be included in the top five in today's world.

Therefore, when he learned that Timur's main army of one million had arrived outside Jiayuguan, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Jiayuguan was broken.

Even Geng Bingwen couldn't hold out for a long time under such disparity in military strength.

Once the city of Jiayuguan was broken, the only option left for Geng Bingwen was to lead the remaining soldiers to the second line of defense he had built.

If the second line of defense is not completed before Jiayuguan City is broken, then everyone will finish the game together.

"Father."

Zhu Gaochi walked quickly to Zhu Lao Si's side, panting heavily.

"Gao Chi, I still need to exercise occasionally."

Zhu Laosi glanced at his big fat son who would grow flesh when he drank water. He obviously hadn't run a few hundred meters, so it was too exaggerated to pant like this.

"Yes, yes, father."

Zhu Gaochi regained his breath with difficulty, and then continued to speak after smoothing his breath.

"Father, the 25 troops in the Beijing camp have been preliminarily deployed, but it will take about three to five days to build the defense line."

"Ah."

Zhu Di nodded.

It is understandable, after all, this large army has just finished its conquest in the southern border, and was sent to the northern border with almost no repairs, so there will be some morale problems to some extent.

'Three or five days. '

Zhu Di frowned tightly.

Even though Jiayuguan is guarded by the defense master Geng Bingwen, who can withstand the onslaught of 150 million troops for three to five days?
"The order goes on, and within two days, each battalion must complete the planned deployment."

"Those who have not completed it will be the commander of the battalion and beheaded."

Zhu Di condensed his voice.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said yes.

"Gao Chi, you have to take care of your second and third younger brothers on behalf of your father."

"Don't let them be rude to Chang Mao and his son."

Zhu Di spoke again.

Zhu Laosi was very clear in his heart, although he was the coach of the second line of defense.

But according to the holy family, Chang Mao and his son are His Majesty's number one favourites, not to mention that the Chang family is His Majesty's mother family, just look at Chang Tianci, who is in his teens and who is just a few In a month's time, he has already been conferred the title of Champion.

"Yes, my child, remember."

Zhu Gaochi nodded silently, he naturally knew this too.

"By the way, father, there is one more thing about the child."

Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"What's the matter."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, what else could he do besides resisting Timur's army at the moment.

"There was a report from Ma Ma, saying that Wang Baobao was found near Tongguan."

'Wang Baobao? '

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback, thinking that Wang Baobao had already surrendered, and was currently recruiting and rectifying the tribes in Mobei under the emperor's order?Why are you still wandering around Tongguan, eating too much and having nothing to do?
"According to Tan Ma's description, Wang Baobao only brought a dozen or so cavalry, and he looked very embarrassed, as if he had been ambushed. Therefore, I was worried that the tribes in Mobei would take the opportunity to attack, and whether we needed some extra troops. Come and stand guard."

In order to build this second line of defense, Zhu Di mobilized all the troops in the northern border, not even leaving any troops in the former major towns.

After all, theoretically, Beiyuan had already surrendered, so there was no need to hoard heavy troops for these important towns guarding Beiyuan.

Zhu Di was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"No need."

If you want to defend these grassland tribes in Mobei, it is useless to guard only one place. After all, if you guard one place, the opponent can enter from another.

If you don't, don't keep it, if you want to keep it, keep it all.

And if you want to fully defend, the required troops will start at least 20, and it will take a lot of energy and time to deploy.

Right now, there is no time.

Moreover, the total strength of the second line of defense that Zhu Di is building now is less than 40. Let him divide half of it, so there is no need to build this second line of defense, and he directly declares that it is over.

"Bei Yuan surrendered, and the various tribes in the grassland could not be given unified orders. Even if there was looting, it would only be in a small area, and it would not cause any major disasters. After the war in the northwest is settled, we can focus on these grassland tribes."

Zhu Di's words are actually the most correct from a grand strategic level.

If it is a scattered grassland tribe, each tribe has only a few thousand people, and there are only tens of thousands of people in the sky. If these tribes take advantage of the fire to rob, it is just a matter of grabbing something, and it will not be a big deal.

However, the facts are not the same as Zhu Di expected.

At this time, in the Mobei Grassland, extremely cruel and bloody killings were going on.

This killing was not limited to one or two tribes, but more than a dozen, dozens.

It started more than half a month ago.

On the bank of the small sea in Mobei, there is a lush grassland with countless cattle and sheep grazing on it. The three big tribes on the grassland all graze sheep in this grassland.

Suddenly, the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes sounded from a distance.

Like thunder, it exploded on the grass.

The three tribe herdsmen who were shepherding the sheep were all panicked, subconsciously looking, they turned out to be a group of savages in animal skins.

Zhu Quan rode his horse in the barbarian army, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

For more than half a month, he only did one thing.

That is to sweep across the entire Mobei grassland like crazy, and lay down all the grassland tribes encountered, and the method is also extremely straightforward.

Guard all the women and children collectively, and tell the husbands of these women and the fathers of the children that if they want to survive, they must serve Zhu Quan.

It is not so much a surrender as a coercion.

In this way, in the past half a month, Zhu Quan forcibly gathered an army of 10 people.

Moreover, this number is still growing rapidly.

Moreover, Zhu Quan has already sent spies into Daming, and he has already grasped the current situation in the Northwest.

In Zhu Quan's view, when Jiayu Pass was broken and Timur's army attacked the second line of defense of Ming Dynasty with all its strength, it would be the day when he broke through the pass and attacked and killed Yingtian.

"Zhu Xiongying, wait for this king!"

"New and old grudges, I will ask you to get them back one by one."

Zhu Quan looked to the south, and there was a fierce light in the upside-down snake eyes.
