Sun Chuanting sat in the chair of the Grand Master, speechless for a long time. The emergency military situation made him feel cold. How many recurring were there in the mountains behind Jiayuguan? God knows that suddenly came out of the mountains and fought with more than 100,000 tatars.

The cavalry should be connected inside and outside, but Jiayuguan is afraid it will be out of business day and night.

The heart was cold but a little hope arose. The Military Information Department had learned about the plot to return to the village and had the means to turn the world around. In desperation, Sun Chuanting issued several military orders to save the situation of the war, and ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead the army.

Huihui, the county government under the rule of the Three-Border General Office, ordered the county government to garrison troops, and kill Huihui that appears in borders, roads, villages, and county governments, and as long as they die, they do not live.

It was these two military orders that saved the war situation in the northwest. The only thing that was worthy of consideration was that Ezhemacan's partial army was unconnected by Sun Chuanting. Cao Wenzhao's army returned to Jiayuguan, and the 28,000 troops were the ones.

The cavalry became an isolated army. Where were the partial troops of Ezhe and Ma Can? They marched secretly along the ruins of the Han Great Wall, and specifically marched in the Gobi wasteland with a dangerous environment.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, 28,000 cavalry marched in the unmanned area of ​​the Gobi Desert, hiding in the daytime and leaving at night, and in fact, they had already broken off contact with the rear. The original plan was that Cao Wenzhao's army was in Ming, and the iron cavalry came from Baicheng were in the morning.

Darkness, two cavalrymen from one light and one darkness are taking Turpan. Now, once Cao Wenzhao's army returns to support, Ezhe and Ma Can's situation will be very dangerous.

Sun Chuanting was unable to do so, so he had to order Cao Wenzhao to send more Qingqi to try his best to contact the side troops who had lost their whereabouts and send Qingqi into the Gobi desert to catch up with luck. At the same time, he sent a letter to Fushun to apologize to the Grand Governor. If this battle was General Ezhe

, Ma Can broke, how could he have the face to face the Grand Governor Ma Cheng? These two, one is the adopted son of the Grand Governor, and the other is the younger brother of the Grand Governor, whose identities are so precious.

Fifty miles southeast of Jiayuguan.

Ding Wenchao summoned people everywhere, showed off the tiger card to requisition, and seized it. He tried his best to gather the troops behind Jiayuguan. In half a day, he summoned three thousand troops and, led by the 400 military intelligence soldiers, rushed to the mountains where the wildfires were spreading.

.Jiayuguan is not a primeval forest, and the woods are not connected in groups. It is a dream to expect a wildfire to burn all the Tartars back to death.

Tens of thousands of Tartars are not dead, they can put out fires.

Ding Wenchao guessed that the fire would be extinguished after burning for at most two or three days. This fire actually saved the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the fire, this fire was not set by one person, and it would not be set by one person.

It burned into a forest fire for dozens of miles. Ding Wenchao felt proud and ached in his heart. The Military Information Department sowed less than 3,000 seeds to the northwest battlefield, and several people were buried in the fire.

His loyal and brave subordinates made the most correct decision in times of crisis and set fire to the mountains.

Along the way, we can see that the Tatars were burned very badly. Along the way, the corpses of people and horses burned into charcoal can be seen everywhere. The Tatars can no longer hide in the mountains. This place is called Manjushri Mountain, and even further away, it is called Jiayu Mountain.

They are all short peaks with the highest peaks of only a few hundred meters. After burning them, the experts in the Military Information Department who are proficient in tracking judged that the Tartars who were hiding in the mountains and returned to the northeast.

To the northeast is the wild horse well inside the side wall, with water sources.

The Wild Horse Well has a lake and a river, and its location is very important. From the Wild Horse Well, you can advance to the Inner Mongolia grassland to the east, and to the south, you can take the important town of Hexi Zhangye. Ding Wenchao judged that tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry were not likely to enter the grassland if they were not supplied. Most of them were

It was heading towards Zhangye, a major city in the Hexi Corridor.

Zhangye was called Ganzhou in ancient times and was an important town in the middle section of Hexi, and it cannot be missed.

Zhangye has always been accompanied by the Western Regions, mulberry and hemp land, and the town of fish and rice. It is the richest place in the Hexi Corridor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhangye is rich because there is a big river that crosses the entire territory, and this big river is called Heihe.

It is the second largest inland river in China. The so-called two major cities, namely the Jin Zhangye, the Silver Wuwei, Zhangye and Wuwei, are also the food and grass logistics base of the Ming army in Jiayuguan.

A large part of the military ration supplies of the Ming army in the northwest relies on the rich output of the Hexi Corridor.

Zhangye is the capital of Gansu, the Ming Dynasty, and the largest granary of the Ming army in the northwest, Zahuncang.

Ding Wenchao stood under the hillside where the wildfires were everywhere. Without contacting Sun Chuanting, he lightly cavalry contacted the Zhangye defenders. He gathered troops on the front lines of Sunan, Linze and Zhangye, defended the city to the death, and asked for help from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to gather.

When a soldier headed towards Wuwei, he must block the Tatar cavalry in the middle of the narrow Hexi Corridor, gather and annihilate it, and at the same time send a letter to Liaodong for the Grand Commander to decide.

The towns in Hexi are in danger, but they are also excellent fighter jets.

The Hexi Corridor is already very narrow and densely packed. If the Tatars could be blocked back and forth in the Hexi Corridor, gathered and annihilated, it would be an excellent fighter.

In the evening, the mountain fire went out.

After all the plants and trees that can be burned in the forest were burned, the wildfires were naturally extinguished. Ding Wenchao rode his horse on the mountain path. Thousands of soldiers in front of him, Min Zhuang held branches and slapped the open flame, and the choking smell of burnt was in the mountains.

It was filled with heat, and everyone was covered in sweat.

Ding Wenchao suddenly stopped the war horse and his eyes fixed on a corpse on the side of the road.

The body was burnt and kept lying on his back. All the clothes were burned, but only a small piece of cloth as big as a thumb was left, black and soapy clothes. Ding Wenchao Ran rode on the horse's back, and his left and right subordinates dismounted one after another.

Carefully lifted the corpse up, and when a tiger card hidden in the mezzanine landed on the ground, the tiger card was overburdened and burned to the darkness, but the hideous tiger head was clearly visible.

"Sir, our people."

A subordinate handed over the tiger card with both hands. Ding Wen wiped the dust on his head when he took the tiger card. He didn't feel dirty, so he carefully put it in close proximity.

"Let's be buried."

Ding Wenchao said softly, his eyes gloomy and he couldn't bear to look at it again. He gently clamped his horse's belly. Hundreds of horses galloped away regardless of the open fires in the mountains and forests, trying to follow the big Tartars in front of him.

Within three days, Sun Chuanting and Ding Wenchao worked together to complete a series of remedial measures in advance, which was the advantage of foresight. Before the Tatar cavalry arrived, the Ming army in Zhangye, Wuwei and other places had already gathered together and was strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, concentrating the population and food to the strong.

Inside the city, Cao Wenzhao's army, who went out of Qilian Mountains and advanced to Turpan, was summoned back and swept the border walls.

At the same time, deep in the desert.

After marching in the Gobi uninhabited area for several days, Ezhe's excitement passed. He was dizzy and was constantly fanning the wind with his hands. This place cannot march during the day, and can only hide, but there is a

Great benefit: not afraid of being exposed, unless you get lost, no one will enter this terrifying no-man's land.
