Li Taibai has a poem saying: In May, Tianshan Mountain is snowy, and there is no flower but only cold. The towering Tianshan Mountain cuts the Hami area into two halves from west to east. The north of the mountain is forest, grassland and glacier, and the south of the mountain is plain green state. Hami City is built on the plain green state in the south of the mountain.

The Tianshan Mountains are frozen all year round, and it is still snowing in May. It is now the middle of the winter month of the sixth year of Jiajing. Even the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is covered with thick snow. The fierce northwest wind is sobbing at the top of its lungs. The temperature is extremely cold and bone-filled, and it is really ice-dropping.

However, under such harsh climate conditions, the flags were waving inside and outside Hami City, the sound of cannons roaring, and the sound of killing was shocking. The gunshots were as fast as a rainstorm, and the smoke of gunpowder rose up. The strong smell of gunpowder and blood merged into the fierce north wind, which could be heard for more than ten miles away.

At this moment, outside the east gate of Hami City, a big flag with the word "Yu" was waving in the wind, hundreds of Fran machine cannons lined up in front of the formation, and amid the roar, fierce artillery fire roared towards the head of Hami City; six catapults were launched in an orderly manner, throwing the huge rocks into deadly arcs; the mechanical siege of the crossbow made a terrifying friction sound, and heavy arrows roared into the thick city wall; the siege cars and arrow towers were pushed perseveringly towards the city wall...

"Run, kill!!!"

Under the cover of fierce firepower, the Ming army was like a tide, striking upwards at the city walls, flying claws, ladders, poles, and all tools that were conducive to climbing were used, and they attacked the city frantically.

That's right, it was the Pingxi General Yu Dayou who was personally supervising the battle. The 60,000 army attacked Hami City. Now it has entered the second day's fierce battle!

In late September, Yu Dayou flooded Turpan's general Yalan outside Guazhou City, defeating 50,000 of his troops in one fell swoop. Even Yalan himself was killed. Later, Turpan's second general Hu Linazar was also defeated at Yumen Pass and fled into Lop Nur in a hurry. The 20,000 troops under his command were almost completely wiped out.

Although Turpan is considered a powerful country in the Western Regions, its national troops are only about 100,000, and it was eaten up by 70,000 at once, which is undoubtedly damaged. It is precisely because of this that Mansuer had to submit to Yarkand for help, and even promised to ced the territory north of the Tarim River Basin.

Let’s talk about the fact that after Yu Dayou won the Guazhou victory, he did not blindly advance, but instead consolidated the rear steadily, while silently preparing for the troops and resting his energy to wait for an opportunity to attack.

Mansuer waited in the center of Hami City for more than a month and found that the Ming army in Guazhou was still holding its troops. It was already winter, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and the ice and snow had even covered the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. So he thought that the Ming army would not launch this winter, and at least it would have to wait until the spring next year before attacking, so he relaxed his vigilance.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dayou went the other way and braved the cold of ice and snow to send troops. The army pulled out more than a dozen Turpan troops along the way and advanced to the city of Hami in one breath.

Speaking of which, when Man Suer received the news of the Ming army's raid, the Ming army's vanguard was only more than a hundred miles away from Hami City. At that time, the war madman was so scared that he actually fled from Hami City overnight under the protection of his personal guards, leaving only Zasang Abra to lead 20,000 people to continue to garrison, which was really cowardly!

On the afternoon of the second day after Man Suer escaped, Yu Dayou personally led 60,000 main forces of the Ming army to the city of Hami and immediately launched a fierce attack. With absolute military strength and firepower advantages, the Turpan defenders in the city were beaten to pieces, and they could not resist it in just one day.

Yu Dayou Li prepared his troops for more than a month, and his preparations were naturally quite sufficient. He launched a surprise attack in the cold, which was not only unexpected, but also showed his determination to achieve his contributions in one battle.

So the Ming army used the strongest firepower as soon as they came up, and the shells poured into the city like they didn't have money. The Turpan defenders in the city suffered. In less than a day, the bunkers on the city were basically blown up, with countless casualties. The Ming army's logistics supplies were sent from the rear to the front line, always maintaining fierce firepower.

On the sixth day of the battle, the Ming army finally attacked the city. The Turpan defenders in the city were seriously injured and their morale was extremely low. When the city gate was opened, the Turpan defenders in the city completely collapsed. They took the initiative to open the other three gates and fled in all directions, or simply threw away their weapons and surrendered. Therefore, the Ming army occupied the entire Hami City without encountering decent resistance.

As for Turpan Zaisan Apula, the moment the Ming army attacked the city, he had already escaped from the city under the protection of his personal soldiers, and fled all the way westward. He was as anxious as a dog that was strayed from a family and as anxious as a fish that had missed the net!

On the 20th day of the sixth year of Jiajing, Yu Dayou led his army of 60,000 to defeat Hami and became famous in the Western Regions. He became another hot general in the army after King Xu Jin of Beijing. He was also a general who was born in a pure military general. He was famous all over the world for a time!

At this point, the seven guards of Guanxi that had all lost during the Zhengde period returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. On the day when Hami City was recovered, a 800-mile-rushing report also flew to the capital in the night with the cold stars.

…………

On the 25th day of the winter month of the sixth year of Jiajing, two camels moved forward slowly in the vast desert. The fierce cold wind blew up their hair straightened. Song Dayan and Guo Heizi rode on the camel, feeling that the north wind was like a knife cutting the face, and their eyes were a little unable to open.

"Hey, Guo Heizi, how far is it to get to Yangguan?" Song asked with his big eyes turning his head. At this moment, his big light blue eyes were blown red by the cold wind, and his expression looked tired and ferocious.

Guo Heizi licked his cracked lips and said arduously: "The bird is full of sand, and it is not in front of the village or the shop behind it. Who knows how far it is, but we walked for almost a month in one go. As long as the direction is good, I guess it will not be too far from Yangguan. His grandmother's, this camel is good in other places, but it's too slow to travel. If we rode a horse, we would have arrived long ago!"

Song Dayan said indifferently: "Come on, if we ride a horse, we might have to walk on our feet now. Camels are resistant to thirst and cold, and were born for the desert, but horses can't do it!"

On the same day, Huang Dacan, Wang Cuiqiao and others broke through the city and fled to Yecheng. However, the pursuers arrived soon. It is estimated that Zaisan Hasmu had completely controlled Shache, and actually mobilized Shache's 20,000 guards to attack Yecheng. Then, he transferred 20,000 troops from Kashgar to surround Yecheng.

Yecheng is the territory of Rashid Taiji, with 20,000 troops, and these 20,000 troops were only obeyed Rashid, so they started a siege.

However, Zasanghamu seemed to be busy controlling the whole country, so he was not in a hurry to break the city. He just trapped Yecheng and did not launch a high-intensity attack, so Yecheng was still stable for the time being.

It is worth mentioning here that at the beginning, Rashid Taiji was still full of fighting spirit and called on local governments across the country to arm the country to eliminate the traitor Hasmu, but there were very few responders.

It is no wonder that Hasmu was the first old man to follow Sayide Khan to conquer the country. He had friendship with generals in various military forces. In addition, he placed Sayide Khan under house arrest, used the emperor to command the princes to control the commanding heights of "morality", and took the regime legitimately, and put the charge of rebellion on Rashid. Which general dared to respond to Rashid Taiji?

So Rashid's original high fighting spirit gradually began to decline and became more and more scared, because he understood that once Hasmu controlled the troops across the country, it would be his death.

Since the country can no longer rely on it, we can only rely on foreign forces. Now the only one who can help him Rashid is naturally the only one in Ming Dynasty. Huang Dacan also hopes to send someone back to China to report the situation in Yarkand.

So, Song Dayan and Guo Heizi, two who were not afraid of death, were sent back to the country by Huang Dacan. They lurked out of the city while the night was dark, and successfully avoided the enemy soldiers outside the city with their agility. They fled to the vicinity of Picheng and stole two camels, and traveled all the way back to the Ming Dynasty.
