Chapter 985: Arrival

Ding Wenchao is proficient in the ways of war, and the sweet words spoken by Ruchun's tongue. After this battle, Zhangye City must be repaired and expanded, and the newly built Zhangye must be a large scale and a barrier to Hexi. With the military achievements of Mr. Li, Ding

According to some people's recommendation, the position of the city lord of this important city in Zhangye was the old general Li. If it was in the Han and Tang dynasties, it would be the prefect of the side.

After saying this, Li Rong's eyes shone brightly, and everyone under his command ran around like a chicken blood.

Ding Wenchao has such rich experience in the battlefield. He knows that defending the city is just morale. He has followed Macheng for many years to fight. This set of early-use mobilization mobilized before the war. This rough Liaodong man was very proud of his leadership.

It is a meticulous job. The young master once said that details determine success or failure. This is the military classic that Ding Wenchao believed in throughout his life.

More than 10,000 Zhangye defenders were waiting for battle, and dozens of carrier pigeons soared into the sky and asked for help again.

Yansui Town, by the Yellow River.

Ma Cheng personally led 30,000 reinforcements to the bank of the Yellow River. At this time, news that the Grand Commander personally went to the northwest spread. The people in Shanxi and Gansu were in a state of support, and the morale was greatly improved. The Grand Commander personally arrived, and the northwest was in chaos.

It quickly stabilized, which showed that Macheng's reputation was so high. As soon as the news that the Liao King Macheng brought troops to him spread, the victory and defeat of the Northwest War was decided.

In the land of Gansu and Shaanxi, the Ming army in various departments quickly wiped out the rebellion that was full of smoke from the northwest as if it was injected with chicken blood.

At this time, a letter was sent to Hexi.

Wuwei was in a major city in Hexi, and Wuwei was caught in a tough battle. Zhangye was besieged by the Tatar cavalry day and night. The enemy of Wuwei was a group of northern Yi of unknown origin. Wuwei's guard Fei Shu was in a hurry, and about 8,000 northern Yi of the siege were besieged by Wuwei, with fair skin.

He was seven feet long, yellow and blue-haired and very fierce during combat. The walls of Wuwei City were broken several times, and they were all driven by the city to help the battle and drove them off the wall.

Wuwei was in a hurry, but Ding Wenchao defeated Zhangye, which was guarding him.

Ni Yuanlu, who went to the army to fight, was very surprised. How did Ding Wenchao fly into Zhangye City and defeat the siege of the Tatar cavalry? He Kegang admires Ding Wenchao's bravery very much. He Kegang is a straight-minded person and has little thoughts. He was in the old Ming army.

One of the few pure soldiers brought him by his side when he went to Macheng this time and deliberately cultivated and promoted him. This person was born as a general and was not suitable for the intrigue in the officialdom.

Since Ding Wenchao was in Zhangye, Zhangye City should be worry-free, but Wuwei behind Zhangye was not guaranteed every day. Ma Cheng personally led a light cavalry to cross the Yellow River to rescue Wuwei. He Kegang and Ni Yuanlu strongly opposed it. The gentleman was not favorable under the dangerous wall.

The generals of the world's soldiers and horses actually came to the front line and led their troops to rescue a dangerous city. What a moral order? The two of them could not persuade Macheng even though they tried their best, and they could not help but do nothing.

Ma Cheng was so tired of being in the Liao Palace that he was willing to miss the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

This time, Ma Cheng was not going to die when he went to rescue the two cities in Hexi. The 30,000 elite cavalry beside him were all elite, including 10,000 of them, the most elite Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry, the old soldiers in a hundred battles, and 20,000 newly formed Liao army.

The light cavalry, a cavalry army armed to the teeth, is also the main combat force recently formed by the Liao army. In terms of organization, it is still a large-scale expansion based on the Liao army's iron cavalry, as an important part of the Ming cavalry field group.

Ten thousand Liaodong Iron Cavalry has expanded to 30,000. Although its combat power has been diluted, it has unlimited room for growth. Macheng has always been like this for the elite Liao army's army building model. Veterans lead new soldiers and fight several decent battles. New soldiers

He grew up quickly and became a powerful force. Thirty thousand iron cavalry rode on official boats, civilian boats crossed the river in large numbers, and the three thousand iron cavalry of the vanguard crossed the Yellow River, and swept towards the northwest and quickly supported Hexi.

Yellow River, ferry.

A melon shed blocks the sun in the sky. Macheng wore a red military uniform worn by ordinary soldiers, sat upright in the melon shed to read the expedition military newspaper. Fei Ge sent a letter, conveying the front-line urgent newspapers continuously, which was far more than eight.

Baili speed is much more convenient and fast, which has made Macheng slightly improve on the bad military communications of this era. The military newspapers conveyed by these flying pigeons were at least two or three days ago.

In this era, there will be no more advanced military communication methods than the Ming Dynasty.

Two or three years ago, Cao Wenzhao's army returned to Jiayuguan and defeated the Tatars on the southern front of Jiayuguan. Now it is clearing out the remaining enemies. Sun Chuanting tried his best to return to Hexi, but he was in a row, and the troops returning to the front line were blocked.

The western section of the Hexi Corridor was unable to move. The eastern section of the Hexi Corridor was full of chaos, and the soldiers and horses in Gansu were running around and were running around to quell the chaos.

Ma Cheng handed the urgent military report to He Kegang, Ni Yuanlu, and Ni Yuanlu's face turned a little ashen. This was clearly because the Tartars had planned it, the Junggar people and the Oirat people. Hui Hui responded to the premeditation of foreign peace, and now there are a large number of Russians.

The figures of soldiers, these barbarians gathered together, and caught the Ming Dynasty off guard. He Kegang frowned. It was quite difficult to deal with the barbarians from all directions.

Ni Yuanlu's face turned pale and she said contemptuously: "Barish barbarians are ultimately barbarians."

Macheng is calm, the Junggar, Oirat, and Russians. Hui Hui was originally a family three hundred years ago, and it is not worth making a fuss about joining together again. If these barbarians pursued them, they are all the sons of the Mongols three hundred years ago.

The descendants and their subordinate strength naturally cannot stand the revival of the Ming Dynasty. After the revival of the Ming Dynasty, do these barbarians still have a way out?

However, the war in the northwest was broken into a mud, and it was undecided for a long time. The 200,000 Ming troops who were stationed on the east side of the Ural Mountains were under too much pressure. The weather became warmer, and the Eastern European coalition organized by the Russians in Moscow had already been east.

Advance, the 200,000 Ming troops in the north of the Frontier were dragged down by the war in the northwest and had to turn from offensive to defensive, retreated with great strides, and retreated to the city.

Lu Xiangsheng, who presided over the war in northern Seychelles, was under great pressure, and the Ming Dynasty's external expansion was finally stopped by the barbarians from all directions.

The Northern Expedition and Western Expedition were like this, beyond Ma Cheng's expectations, but also reasonable.

To put it bluntly, the Central Plains dynasty is like an ostrich turtle in the Central Plains. It has been too long. The consequences of the ostrich policy are the Ming people to pay for it. The enemies are all around. Including the conscription horses in the south, the total force of the Ming Dynasty's foreign combat has approached fifty.

Ten thousand, and new recruits are still entering the recruit camp. Now, even the young and strong people in Huguang are recruited to join the army.

Ma Cheng didn't like this feeling of being attacked from all sides. After recruiting a large number of young men in Huguang, the Ming Dynasty's war potential was almost at its limit. However, he just laughed, turned over and turned his horse, and hugged Ni Yuanlu, He Kegang and other civil and military officials, and clasped their fists.

With lightly clamped the horse's belly, thousands of guards turned over their horses, and the iron cavalry rolled onto the official ship and crossed the Yellow River.

Leading the war horse, he stepped on the land in Hexi with one foot.

Macheng looked at the mountains and fields, and the loess everywhere, and his heart was turbulent and he couldn't help himself. After crossing the Yellow River and entering the Hexi Corridor, he was not far from the border outpost he had been stationed in his previous life. His long-lost passion rose in his heart, and a whistle was screaming.
