The Hexi Corridor is about 1,000 kilometers long and has a width ranging from several kilometers to 200 kilometers. It is sandwiched between the Qilian Mountains, Heli Mountains and Longshou Mountains and is narrow and straight, shaped like a corridor. In addition, it is located west of the Yellow River, so it is called the Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor is a narrow and long plain area. The most amazing thing is that it is right between the cracks between the Mongolian Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so it has become the main throat from Shaanxi to Xinjiang.

Jiayuguan is the pass at the westernmost end of the Great Wall. After leaving the pass, it gradually became wider and the terrain gradually became wider. About 150 kilometers is Chijin Town, where two thousand Turpan soldiers are stationed here.

On the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, when the earth was still shrouded in the darkness before dawn, most of the Turpan soldiers in the town were still sleeping soundly in the barracks.

Although Muhaner, the messenger who returned a few days ago, warned the Yelupan generals here to be warned against the Ming army's attack, it is estimated that after living a comfortable life for a long time, the Turpan defenders' perception has not yet turned around. In their subconscious, the Ming army was all turtles, and they would only huddle in the city and it was unlikely to take the initiative to launch an attack.

It is precisely this wrong perception that the two thousand Turpan troops stationed in Chizhenjin were destined to be tragic, because just as they were still sleeping, the two thousand cavalry of the Yu army had quietly approached.

In the darkness before dawn, two thousand cavalrymen of the Yulin Army bit their waists, raised their butts, and held the reins in their hands, slowly approached Chijin Town. The war horse behind them was carrying four hooves wrapped in cotton cloth, and walked quietly.

As we got closer, the sky to the east was already showing white fish belly. In the vague morning light, we could vaguely see the barracks of the Tufanlu army in the distance. Two thousand households of the Yulin Guards looked at each other, took off their biting waist knife with understanding, and then turned over to the horse.

"Kill!" Two thousand-household knives waved their waists and roared out a word with murderous intent. Two thousand cavalrymen of Yulin immediately took the sword and rode on their horses, rushed to the camp of the Turpan garrison with a slap in the butt.

At this time, the Turpan sentry on the tower woke up as if she was dreaming, and quickly rang the gong, dangdang, bang...

The Turpan sentry had time to ring the gong twice. With a gunshot, the sentry then fell from the high-looking building with the gong, making a muffled sound, and the gong fell heavily to the ground - when!

"Enemy - attack!" A shrill shout sounded in the camp. The sleeping Turpan soldiers woke up one after another, grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the barracks in a mess.

At this time, the two thousand cavalry of the Yulin Army had already reached the camp like a sea of ​​storm, and the deer antlers and horses were cleaned up one after another. A team of Turpan patrol team, who had reacted first, wanted to pounce on it to stop it, but a row of lead bullets shot towards him and fell on the spot.

Boom boom boom boom...

The strong camp gate was blown up by more than a dozen grenades, and then hit by several strong horses. The two thousand cavalry of the Yulin Army immediately entered the camp like a tide. The musketeers shot when they saw people, and the knife hands slashed when they saw people. The Turpan soldiers who had just woken up from their dreams had become guns and ghosts when they were not reacting.

Whoosh swish swish swish...

The smoke-burning grenades were thrown directly into the barracks, and they burst into tears, screaming. Some Turpan soldiers escaped from the barracks naked, covered in blood and potholes, which was terrible.

"Kill!" The two thousand cavalry of the Yulin Army went back and forth in the camp, raising their swords and setting them, which was no different from chopping melons and vegetables. When the sun rose completely, the situation was completely controlled.

At this time, Yulin general Pei Laopi finally arrived with the main infantry force. More than 10,000 troops surrounded Chijin Town to prevent any fish that escaped.

"His grandma, these Turpan melons are really unbeatable. I haven't warmed up yet. It's almost over!" Old Pei Pi spitted on the ground unhappily.

At this time, smoke and dust rolled behind him, and a cavalry was flying towards him. The battle flag clearly embroidered with a big word "Yu". Pei Laopi was so happy and waved to the cavalry that was flying towards him, saying, "General Yu, General Yu, what are you anxious about? It's not too late to rush to Kuyu Valley after breakfast!"

Under the flag of Yu, Yu Linsheng was the one who led three thousand cavalry as the vanguard to attack Kuyu Valley, and the main force of the Datong Army was handed over to the deputy general Zhou Hao to lead.

Yu Linsheng rode his horse to Pei Laopi and stopped, curled his lips and sneered, "Pe Laopi, I'll spare breakfast. I see that you haven't completely taken down Chijin Town, do you want to help? It won't take much time!"

"Hehe, no need, Yu Manzi, you'd better take it easy on your own. Don't be able to get Kuyu Valley at that time, just ask our Yulin Army for help!" Pei Laopi retorted.

"Bah, what's the ability to attack sneakily? Let's see how I hit Kuyu Valley upright!" Yu Linsheng whipped a whip and the horse galloped again. It was probably intentional. The horse's butt was towards Pei Laopi, and the rear hooves kicked a large area of ​​sand and dust.

"Bao, bah, bah, bah! Yu Manzi, who is the uncle of yours!" Pei Laopi spitted out a mouthful of sand and couldn't help but curse.

"Hahaha, Pei Laopi, just eat me ashes!"

Yu Linsheng's playful laughter came back from afar, and Pei Laopi was so angry that he almost shot an arrow on his back.

"Send the order to cut down all the Turpan melons in the town. After cutting them, you will go to Kuyu Valley to watch the fun!" Pei Laopi shouted angrily.

The Yulin army immediately launched a more fierce attack on Chijin Town. The two thousand Turpan garrisons in the town were already killed and were surrounded by several times of their troops. In less than half an hour, the entire army was wiped out.

Pei Laopi was also cruel enough to treat him with his own way. He ordered people to build up a Jingguan with more than 2,000 Turpan soldiers' heads to comfort the spirit of the guards of Jiayuguan.

Let’s talk about Yu Linsheng, who led three thousand cavalry to gallop for 80 miles and arrived at Kuyu Valley, which was once the garrison of Shazhou Guards, and now there are two thousand Turpan defenders stationed here.

At this time, the sun was already in the forefront and the visibility was very high. The Datong Army could not launch a sneak attack like the Yulin Army. In fact, when Yu Linsheng and others appeared ten miles away, they were already discovered by the Turpan defenders. So when Yu Linsheng led three thousand cavalry to the front of Kuyu Valley, they were greeted with the Turpan, the cavalry, who was waiting for battle.

To go to Guazhou, you must take down Kuyu Valley. As the saying goes, the warriors win when they meet on a narrow road, there is nothing to say. Yu Linsheng waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill!"

Amid the roaring horse hooves, the three thousand Datong cavalry rushed forward like storm waves. The sword reflected a fierce cold light in the sun. The strong murderous aura made the two thousand Turpan cavalry on the opposite side change their expressions.

The commander of the Turpan defender jumped with his eyebrows. In his perception, the Ming army was all hiding in the city and shooting arrows and throwing stones. It was completely different from the Ming cavalry in front of him. The momentum of the Ming cavalry in front of him was too terrible.

Hey, can it be scary? Yu Linsheng and his soldiers have followed Xu Jin to fight north and south since Jiangxi. Their combat power and courage are second only to the Shenji Camp. In addition, this year, they went out to the frontier to advance rapidly, defeating the Tatars and subduing the Oirat. The morale is as high as a rainbow, and they all look down on the world. My mentality is the best in the world. Everyone is brave and fearless of death when they fight.

"Kill!" The commander of the Turpan defender gritted his teeth and pulled out a scimitar and shouted, leading two thousand cavalry to face the Datong Army.

boom……

The two armies met in close combat, and the blades flew quickly, instantly, blood rolled, and the remaining limbs and flesh flew up all over the sky. After the two cavalry exhausted their kinetic energy, they turned into a melee, with dogs and teeth intertwined on the front line, but they saw the sword light and the sword shadows, and the sky was dark.

It has to be said that the combat power of the Turpan cavalry is quite strong. Although the number of people is one thousand less than Datong, it still barely defeated the Datong Army. However, as time goes by, the balance of victory finally turned to the Datong Army.

After about half an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, Zhou Hao, the deputy general of the Datong Army, finally arrived with the main infantry force. Seeing that the situation was not instant, the Turpan cavalry turned around and passed through the Kuyu Valley and fled to Guazhou.

Yu Lin became very angry and led the cavalry to chase for nearly a hundred miles in one breath. Then he woke up Xu Jin's orders and ordered the pursuit to stop, withdraw back to Kuyu Valley to defend, and wait for the arrival of the general's main army.

About an hour after the Datong Army captured the Kuyu Valley, the general of Xuanfu Jing Dachu led more than 10,000 Datong Army to arrive late. Because he carried a large amount of siege equipment, the marching speed was very slow.

Seeing this, Yu Linsheng couldn't help but frown. At this speed, the Sunset was almost setting when the Xuanfu army arrived in Guazhou. Alas, Lao Jing always does things slowly and is not at all happy.

Yu Linsheng rode his horse to Jing Dachu, bowed and said, "General Jing, do you want to help?"

Jing Dachu waved his hand and said, "No need, Guazhou City belongs to our Xuanfu Army. General Yu is waiting for good news!"

Yu Linsheng shrugged and said, "Okay, then I wish General Jing a victory!"

"Thank you auspicious words!" Jing Dachu turned around and shouted: "Brothers, work harder, and arrive at Guazhou before sunset. Since the commander ordered our Xuanfu army to attack Guazhou, it is a recognition of our Xuanfu army's combat effectiveness and trust our Xuanfu army. We cannot embarrass the commander, and win thousands of victories!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" Xuanfu Army shouted and marched murderously towards Guazhou through Kuyu Valley.

"Boss Yu, Jing Dachu still has two tricks to defend the city, but he is sieging the city. My subordinates don't like him. I wonder why the general sent him to attack Guazhou?" Zhou Hao, deputy general of the Datong Army, whispered.

Yu Linsheng spread his hands and said, "I don't know, but the general has always used his troops to be deceitful, and such an arrangement must make sense."

Zhou Han nodded after hearing this and said, "That's right!"

About half an hour later, the sun sets westward, and dust is flying on the east side of Kuyu. A cavalry of about five or six thousand people is coming at lightning. Seeing the flag, it is the Shenji Camp. The two generals, Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, were in charge of the team leader.

Xie and Qi led the Shenji Camp to the Kuyu Valley, but they bowed to Yu Linsheng from afar, and then passed through the valley without knowing where to go.

Yu Linsheng slapped his head and said, "Okay, the Grand Marshal has sent out the Shenji Camp. It is probably because of a big move. Guazhou is stable!"

As soon as Yu Linsheng finished speaking, another cavalry rushed over, but saw a flag with the word "Xie" and a wolf-headed flag. It was the combination of Xie Sanqin and Yisana.

Xie Sanqin and Yisana did not stop and led 5,000 cavalry straight through the valley. However, unlike Shenji Camp, Shenji Camp went to Guazhou, while Xie Sanqin and Yisana went to the southwest, where was Dunhuang.

When the sun sets, a "Xu"-shaped flag roars in the wind and sand, and a mighty army passed through Chijin Town and arrived in front of Kuyu Valley.

Yu Linsheng and Pei Laopi had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Xu Jin's handsome flag from afar, they immediately rode their horses to greet him, turned over and saluted on one knee: "I will meet the general!"

Xu Jin nodded: "General Yu, General Pei, get up!"

The two stood up, and the old man Pei said proudly: "Report to the general, the last general has successfully captured Chijin Town, killed 2,000 Turpan defenders, seized 526 war horses, thirty camels, 53 people were killed, and more than 200 injured!"

"Report to the commander, the last general has successfully captured the Kuyu Valley, killed 818 Turu cavalry, seized 350 war horses and several camels, killed 137 people and injured more than 500 people!" Yu Linsheng reported the report with a little depressed depression.

After all, the Yulin army took advantage of the sneak attack. Not only did it wipe out the Turpan defenders, but it even captured almost twice that of the Datong army, and the casualties were also more than half less than that of the Datong army.

Xu Jin did not favor one or the other, and praised both of them and told them to treat the dead and injured soldiers, and ordered camping on the spot.

Let’s talk about the Xuanfu army, as Yu Linsheng expected, when Jing Dachu led more than 10,000 Xuanfu army to outside Guazhou City, dusk had already fallen, but Jing Dachu was not in a hurry and ordered camps to cook, while building simple fortifications. He obviously planned to rest for one night and launch another attack tomorrow.

It is said that there are more than 5,000 Turpan defenders in Guazhou City, and the guard general is named Afan Maimati. Because all the remaining soldiers of Kuyu Valley fled to Guazhou City, Afan Maimati had learned that Kuyu Valley had fallen. It was obvious that the Ming army did not launch an attack in advance as agreed ten days ago.

"It's outrageous. Didn't you give me ten days? The Ming people are so despicable!" Afan Mamaiti stood on the top of the city and stared at the Ming army camp outside the city angrily.

"General, this Ming army is estimated to have more than 10,000 troops and also carries a large number of siege equipment. There may be further reinforcements from the Ming army tomorrow. We may not be able to resist this small amount of troops in our city. So hurry up and ask for help from Dunhuang!" A lower-level general said in a deep voice.
