On the tenth day of June of the sixth year of Jiajing, just as the Ming army launched a fierce attack on Dunhuang City, Mansuerhan, who was far away in the capital of Turpan, finally received an emergency from the front line of 800 miles. He was shocked and angry. The war madman couldn't help but cursed, calling Xu Jin despicable and shameless. He agreed to give him ten days to consider, but he launched a sudden attack the day after the envoy left. He was extremely despicable and shameless, and he was annoyed! But - hate!

Mansuer himself is an absolute war madman. He has been advancing east since the end of the Hongzhi Dynasty. He has been constantly eroding the territory of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. Not to mention the distance, he even attacked Jiayuguan some time ago and did not say hello to the Ming Dynasty in advance, right? At this time, he scolded Xu Jin for being despicable, which is really funny.

Of course, even though Mansu'er was scolding, he still had to be anxious after he was scolded. After all, Chijin Town, Kuyu Valley, Yumen Pass, Yangguan and other strongholds on the front line were all captured by the Ming army. Now Guazhou and Dunhuang are surrounded. If the army is not sent to help, then the seven guards of Guanxi that he had taken more than ten years to grab were handed over to the Ming Kingdom.

As mentioned earlier, the seven guards of the Ming Dynasty's Guanxi are: Chijin Mongolian Guard, Shazhou Guard, Handong Guard, Qu Xianwei, Aduan Guard, Anding Guard and Hami Guard. In just a few days, the Ming army has basically recovered the territory where Chijin Mongolian Guard, Shazhou Guard and Handong Guard were once located. Can Mansuer not be in a hurry to get angry?

In fact, after receiving the reply from the messenger Muhaner on the seventh day of the sixth month, Mansuer began to summon troops and prepare to fight the Ming army head-on. However, he was fooled by the "ten-day deadline" thrown by Xu Jin, so he always thought that he had enough time for himself to prepare, but he suffered a great loss.

However, from the seventh day to the tenth day of the lunar month, after three days of preparation, Man Suer had already summoned an army of 80,000 and prepared the first batch of food and grass. He no longer neglected at the moment. He immediately led his army to leave Anle City and set off in a mighty manner. He arrived in Hami City on June 13th.

After Mansuer Khan arrived in Hami, he did not go south to Guazhou immediately. He sent an envoy Muhaner, carrying a large amount of jewelry and jade, to the Oirat barracks to pay homage to Sanhad and Torohuo.

Speaking of which, Sanghad and Torohuo had "obeyed" Xu Jin's orders and led the 70,000 Oirat army to approach Hami, and camped fifty miles north of Hami City. However, the two of them had the idea of ​​sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. They did not intend to launch an attack on Hami City rashly, but were waiting to reap profits.

Not only did Xu Jin know the little abacus of Sanghad and Toluo Huo, but Man Suer knew it very well, but he knew it in his heart, but it was another thing to do it. After all, there was nothing absolute. Man Suer was naturally worried that Sanghad and Toluo Huo would take advantage of the situation. He attacked Hami while he went south to Guazhou and cut off his retreat. So he adopted the suggestion of Prime Minister Abra and sent an envoy to bring jewelry and property to bribe Sanghad and Toluo Huo, hoping that the two of them would be generous, and then they would take the money and lead their troops to retreat a thousand miles.

Let’s talk about the messenger Muhaner brought several carts of gold, silver and jewelry to the camp in Oirat, and was received by Sanhad and Toro. After Muhaner expressed his purpose, Sanhad and Toro accepted several carts of gold, silver and jewelry with a smile, and agreed to retreat eight hundred miles.

Sanghad and Toro Huo were also trustworthy. On the day of receiving the benefits, they set up camp and retreated for 800 miles. However, while the two guys retreated, they also sent messengers to Jiayuguan to inform the Ming army that Turpan Mansuer had personally led an army of 80,000 to Hami, and Bi Ri would lead troops south to Guazhou to prepare for the battle.

It has to be said that the two men of Sanhad and Toro Huo were quite terrible. They pleased each other and earned a lot of gold, silver and treasures in vain. The key was that the main force of the Ming army and the Turpan army would be able to fight a battle, and then take advantage of the greater fisherman.

Speaking of the benefits of Sanhad and Torohuo, they immediately led their troops to retreat for 800 miles. Mansuer finally felt relieved and re-employed the previously demoted general Yalan, and ordered him to lead 50,000 troops south to support Guazhou, while he himself had 30,000 troops to stay in Hami City for the time being. First, to watch out for the changes, and second, to beware of the Oirats' swords behind them.

On June 15, 2016, when Turpan general Yalan led an army of 50,000 to Guazhou with murderous intent, Xu Jin also received news from Sanghad and Toluo Huo sent people. He learned that Mansuer had led an army of 80,000 to Hami and was preparing to send troops to Guazhou.

It is the middle of the moon, and a bright moon hangs in the sky. The white moonlight shines on the endless sand dunes. The bright and fierce desert wind blows, and the quicksand rolls and makes rustling sounds. This is probably the origin of Mingsha Mountain.

At this moment, the tent of Mingsha Mountain was brightly lit, and all the generals were here. The head coach Xu Jin had a serious expression and the atmosphere seemed very serious.

It is said that since the launch of the ninth day of the sixth month, the Ming army has been attacking Dunhuang for seven consecutive days. It has not been able to break the Dunhuang City and has paid the price of thousands of casualties. The strength of Dunhuang City and the tenacity of the Turpan defenders were far beyond everyone's expectations.

Xu Jinhuan glanced over the blood-filled heroes with bloodshot eyes. Although the attack was not good for several days, he never rebuked anyone because he knew that everyone had done their best. This is the case for siege. Most of them had no shortcuts to go. They could only use their lives to fight to the death and time to fight to the death. Looking at the battle examples in history, it is common for a siege to fight to the death for several months, or even a year or two.

However, Xu Jin could not spend a few months to fight Dunhuang. He had less time left. At most, the main army of Turpan would arrive in Guazhou. If he could not take Dunhuang at that time, he would have to give up the Yumen Pass and Yang Pass he had obtained and retreat to the front line of Guazhou to avoid being attacked from both sides.

"One day, we only have one day. If we cannot take Dunhuang before sunset tomorrow, we will withdraw back to Guazhou!" Xu Jin said calmly.

Qi Jingtong opened his blood-covered eyes wide and said with a grim voice: "Master, don't worry, I will take the Dunhuang City tomorrow. Finally, I will use the head of the neck to guarantee it, either the city will be broken or the battle will be killed!"

The powerful generals looked at each other, and everyone was in a fierce fighting spirit, shouting in unison with a ferocious look: "Either the city is broken or the battle is killed!"
