Quagua...

The sun sets and the dusk is vast. A group of crows circling over Tongzhou City, making an upset noise. A few bold crows even flew under the city wall to peck at the scattered broken limbs, broken arms and internal organs.

Zheng--!

A huge metal friction sound, but a cold light shot towards him. It was a heavy arrow for a bed crossbow. The heavy arrow was shot out from the Tartars' positions at a speed of as fast as lightning. A crow that flew was accidentally hit by the arrow and was "fried" into a ball of minced meat on the spot. The heavy arrow remained unabated and pierced deeply into the city wall, causing sparks to splash.

kill--!

The Tartars rushed to the west gate of Tongzhou City like tides. This was the tenth wave of attacks launched by the Tartars today. It seemed that they were planning to fight at night.

The defenders on the city wall were already exhausted and had to pick up their weapons to fight back. A tragic battle began at sunset...

Two Tartar generals, Harich and Temuir, came to the city to command the siege. They held scimitars and shouted at the top of their lungs to cheer the soldiers. There was no way, and the military orders were as high as a mountain. Altan ordered them to take down Tongzhou City within three days, otherwise they would come to see each other. Now more than two days have passed, and tomorrow afternoon will be a three-day period.

Altan has always done his best. Harichi and Temuir dare not be lucky. Altan said that it would take three days to three days. If he couldn't take Tongzhou City, he would really cut off their heads, so Harichi and Temuir had to fight to the death. Unfortunately, their opponent was Shenji Camp. If there were only Tongzhou Guards in the city, they would probably not be able to defend them long ago.

Bang bang bang bang...

Gunshots came one after another on the top of the city, and the Tartars continued to fall one after another.

Although the Shenji Camp had only 3,000 people, they were all equipped with flintlock rifles, with a long range and high accuracy. They hid on the city and fired guns. The Tartars rushed up and were simply giving away their heads. However, the Tartars won because there were many people, and the stone throwing machines and bows and arrows also caused many casualties and injuries to the Shenji Camp and the Tongzhou Guards.

The sky soon became completely dark, and the Tartars were not iron-clad, and they continued to attack the city with high intensity, making them even more tired. When the battle lasted until about 8 o'clock in the evening, the Tartars finally retreated helplessly to rest. Shenji Camp and Tongzhou Guards also seized time to rest and treat the wounded soldiers.

The temporary general's mansion in the city was brightly lit. Xu Jin was wearing a jade-colored gown, holding a small bamboo whip in his hand, and his every move revealed a calm demeanor, although his expression was a little solemn at this time.

Wang Liner and other personal soldiers of Shenji Camp, as well as the military officers of Tongzhou Guard headed by commander Miao Xin, gathered around with respect and listened to Xu Jin's speech in awe.

The emperor's imperial edict was delivered to Tongzhou City early yesterday morning. Along with the imperial edict, there was also a Zhili Governor Guan Fang and a Pinglu General's seal. With the Zhili Governor Guan Fang and General's seal, Xu Jin could mobilize various armies in a legitimate manner.

In fact, after Xu Jin received the seal yesterday, he immediately sent a quick horse to Tianjin to dispatch troops to reinforce Tongzhou. However, he had not seen the three guards of Tianjin arrive until now, which made him quite annoyed.

There is a map hanging on the screen, which is the terrain and military deployment map of the northern Zhili area.

Xu Jin glanced at the generals present and said in a deep voice: "All are here, let's start. I will tell you the current situation."

As Xu Jin said that, he used bamboo whip to click Xuanfu Town on the map and continued: "The general of Xuanfu was restrained by the 30,000 whistle of the Tatars Yongxibu's troops, and he was unable to rescue the capital for the time being.

Li Fuda rebelled in Datong and had already captured Shuozhou and forced Taiyuan, so the king-supporting troops in Yulin Town and Shanxi were no longer able to count on it for the time being.

The Baoding General was defeated and couldn't take care of himself. Unfortunately, I received news not long ago that the great Khan of the Tatar Chahar tribe Bodi was leading an army of 100,000 to attack the Gubeikou of Jizhou Town, so the general of Jizhou Town could not count on it."

The bamboo whip in Xu Jin's hand pointed to Jizhou Town, located in the northeast of the capital. Gubeikou is located in Jizhou Town, which is now near the Miyun Reservoir in Beijing, and is only about 250 miles away from the capital. Once the Tatars break through the Gubeikou Great Wall Pass, they will be able to reach the foot of the capital within one day.

When all the generals present heard this, they looked solemn. The situation was too serious. It would be difficult to deal with Altan. If the Tartars Body Khan led a hundred thousand troops to fight, the Ming Dynasty would be in danger.

Xu Jin continued with a serious expression: "So now we can only expect the king-supporting troops from Shandong and Henan to arrive quickly. Otherwise, once Bodi Khan breaks through Gubeikou, the consequences will be unimaginable. With the strength in our city, it will be difficult to defend Tongzhou City, let alone defeat Altan and rescue the capital."

Wang Liner said in a deep voice: "It will take at least ten days and half a month for the king-supporting troops in Henan and Shandong to arrive. I hope the defenders in Gubeikou can withstand it."

Zhao Datou couldn't help but scratch the bald head and said, "His grandma, the general has issued a transfer order yesterday. At this time, the three guards in Tianjin should have arrived. It's only less than two hundred miles away, so why are they crawling like a turtle?"

Xie Sanqian curled his lips and said, "In my opinion, the three guards in Tianjin are just cowards. Maybe they dare not come at all. My brother-in-law... He asked them to send troops to Tongzhou, but they were turned away."

The generals of Tongzhou Guards all looked angry when they heard this. The commander Miao Xin even said angrily: "It's unreasonable. Tongzhou and Tianjin are watching each other and help each other, only two hundred miles apart. The three Tianjin guards were desperate to save them. This commander will write a book to review them."

A cold light flashed in Xu Jin's eyes. Before, he was "no power or power" and asked the three guards of Tianjin to send troops but were rejected. But he is now the governor of Zhili, and the Pinglu General who controls all the troops. If the three guards of Tianjin dare not obey the order, he would not mind killing the chicken to warn the monkey again.

Of course, the premise is that Xu Jin must first solve the current dilemma and eliminate the Tartar army outside the city. After two consecutive days of fierce fighting, although the Tartars outside the city were killed or injured, their troops were still seven or eight thousand, even exceeding the total number of Shenji Camp and Tongzhou Guards. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to fight hard. If there is no city as a support, it is estimated that Shenji Camp and Tongzhou Guards will not be able to support the current situation.

Therefore, facing the Tartar cavalry whose number and combat power are both before their side, they can only be smart and unable to compete with the enemy. Xu Jin had an extremely bold idea!

However, his idea was too bold and extremely destructive, which would cause extremely serious losses. So Xu Jingang said his idea, and all the generals were shocked, and some even directly opposed it.

"Master General, Tongzhou is the granary of the capital. This move must not be done!" Miao Xin, the commander of Tongzhou Guard, said in a shock.

Liao Fa, the commander of Tongzhou Guard, also quickly echoed: "The general thinks twice. This move is too risky and may not be successful."

Wang Liner is a steady person, obviously thinking that Xu Jin's method is too risky, and he also advised: "Master, let's wait a little longer. Maybe the reinforcements from the Three Guards of Tianjin will arrive tomorrow."

Xu Jin shook his head and said indifferently: "The head and rats of the three guards in Tianjin are probably not sent troops at all. Even if they send troops, they will delay on the road for various reasons and cannot be expected at all. Now this situation can only be fought and put to death and survive!"

Miao Xin frowned and said, "But if the emperor blames him..."

"All the consequences are borne by me. May I ask Miao Commander, is Tongzhou important or the emperor important? Is food important or the Ming Dynasty important?" Xu Jin looked at Miao Xin coldly.

Miao Xin couldn't help but feel a stern and gritted his teeth and said, "The safety of the emperor is important, and the country of the Ming Dynasty is important!"

Xu Jin nodded: "Then do what I am in charge of doing and act immediately. Liao Tongzhi, you are responsible for evacuating and appeaseing the people in the city. If there are any mistakes, you will only ask!"

Liao Fa, the commander of Tongzhou Guard, felt nervous and hurriedly bowed: "I will obey the order!"
