At this moment, the gate of Yizhou Acropolis opened wide and looked unprepared. Outside the city was more than 10,000 soldiers led by Boyan Timur.

The strategic purpose of Wastu this time is to regain the crown prince Mengke and plunder the border population and property, and there is no idea of ​​conquering cities and land. After all, winter expeditions are extremely stressful for logistics, and the delicate creatures like war horses cannot be recuperated, so the mortality rate will be extremely high.

With the inside and the outside, ten thousand people are enough!

However, the scene of Yizhou Acropolis in front of him made Boyan Temur feel a strange aura. Even if the guard Zhu Ji opened the city to surrender to the enemy, he would not be so generous. At least he would act like to resist. Maybe he could find an excuse to vacate the crime at that time.

After all, it has become a tradition for the Ming Dynasty to smuggle and collude with enemies. From honorary Liu An to ordinary big-headed soldiers, I don’t know how many people can’t figure it out, which has led to the court turning a blind eye in many cases.

There were no serious consequences, and basically the past was not blamed.

Even if it only caused serious consequences, for example, Yang Jun, the son of Changping Marquis Yang Hong, led his subordinates to abandon more than ten Fortresses, but afterwards, he was fined three drinks and passed by like this lightly.

The turning point of the Ming Dynasty's operation seemed to be in the Tumu Fort of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, but in fact it laid the root of the disease during the prosperous period of Renxuan.

"Boyan, what's wrong with Yizhou Acropolis, does Zhu Ji not act like a defensive?"

Amur, the general of the Watshu tribe, also felt that the atmosphere was wrong and asked the coach Boyan Timur.

"The crown prince Mengke has already set off for Beijing. Maybe if Zhu Ji wants to stop him more, we will not be able to catch up with the pace of the Tatar mission, and the entire operation will face failure."

Boyan Timur helped Zhu Ji think of a reason. Amur next to him nodded after hearing this, feeling something was right.

After all, Zhu Ji has done so many things to collude with the enemy and treason, and he has no way to go back, and he may have been too careful.

Realizing that time was tight, Boyan Temur no longer hesitated, pulled out his scimitar from his waist and raised it high, then shouted loudly: "The boys who are the tile thorns, take back the crown prince. As the descendants of the Changshengtian, we will never accept bowing to the Han people!"

"God of immortality blesses!"

A thunderous echo sounded in the tulle-stinging army camp.

Shen Yichen used the situation and the crisis to force Tuotuobuhua to bow to the Ming Dynasty, and undoubtedly took a good move. Not only did he increase the prestige of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, helped him stabilize the throne, but he also intensified the separation between the Mongolian tribes.

If there were many herders and soldiers in the Wastu tribe who once recognized the identity of Tutubuhua, the Khan, and the power struggle was limited to the upper class. Then, now all Wastu has completely despised the Mongolian Khan and regarded him as a complete coward.

At this time, the Grand Master could only raise his arms and shout, and he could go further away from his dream of Khan!

"Kill here!"

"Kill the Guangming Army!"

"kill!"

Boyan Timur waved his sabre forward, and then there was a scene of thousands of horses galloping. The soldiers of the Wastu Tribe were fighting for the past, hoping to seize the few spoils from the barren border abutments.

Cavalry flocked into the Yizhou Acropolis and soon discovered that not only the city gates were wide open, but there were no Ming soldiers behind the city walls. Even the houses on both sides of the streets were empty, as if they had entered an empty city!

"Boyan, it doesn't look right."

No matter how much Zhu Ji gave in, it would be impossible to withdraw all the soldiers and the people in advance. It is obvious that the scene in front of him is illogical.

Just as Amur was surprised, the Ming army's flag appeared at the end of the street, and black soldiers flocked to it, and large infantry shields sealed the entrances of each street like iron walls.

Before Boyan Timur and others could react, there were suddenly dense archers on the empty city walls. Even the roofs of houses on both sides of the street were filled with Ming army musketeers.

"The Tartars dare to offend the border and leave their lives!"

The Ming general in the distance roared, and then the arrow feathers and guns were swept towards the troops of the Washu Army. Early firearms such as muskets may encounter cavalry brigades in field battles and did not have the chance to fire a few shots, and the accuracy was entirely due to fate.

If fate comes, you will be able to win any unlucky person.

However, in a narrow environment like the city streets, the straight-line distance between the Ming army and the enemy on the roof will not exceed twenty meters. At this time, the muskets are like the god of death sickle, wantonly harvesting the performance of the tile-spike cavalry.

The armor is at this distance, and it is as fragile as paper, ruthlessly tearing apart!

"This is an ambush, retreat! Retreat!"

No matter how stupid the generals are in command, they can see that this is a trap and a place of death, let alone a general like Boyan Timur who has many battles.

But he couldn't understand why the Ming army would set up an ambush early and wait for his arrival to kill his father and brother, could Zhu Ji, who was still forgiven and rebel against the Ming court?

The answer that Boyan Timur wanted to know was that Zhu Ji, who was guarded by Datong General Wu Yun, was probably unable to answer. He could only watch the Ming army launch a ruthless massacre towards the Tassus cavalry!

Just like the actions of Mongolian soldiers and horses to the Ming army at Tumu Fort.

"I was still suspicious before, but now it seems that Zhu Qianshi did indeed act like a treason for the enemy."

"As the legitimate son of Duke Cheng, I don't know what face you have to face the Duke and the soldiers from the Nine Borders!"

Wu Yun asked Zhu Ji with anger, but after the Xunqian's sons and generals betrayed the brothers who lived and died together. If they had not done a good job in dealing with it in advance today, I don't know how many Ming soldiers would die in the Acropolis of Yizhou, and how many people within the pass were kidnapped!

Traitors are sometimes more hateful than enemies!

"General Wu Shen, please pay attention to your words."

Faced with the questioning, Zhu Ji looked normal and continued to respond coldly: "What evidence do you have to do with the enemy and treason, and just rely on the Tartars to attack the city?"

"Don't argue. If there were no inner supporters in the city, how could the Tartars come as promised? General Guo has ordered the search of the entire Yizhou Guard. Then you and the lackeys will have nowhere to hide."

"If nothing was found, General Wu Shen's insult to this general today will definitely introduce him to His Majesty."

Zhu Ji still looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which made Wu Yun, who was standing beside him, feel annoyed. Now the evidence of the Tartars siege is already a foregone conclusion, but the other party still refuses to admit it.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhu Ji was the son of Cheng Guogong, Wu Yun would have wanted to give him a knife on the spot and rectify the Dharma on the spot!

The massacre in Yizhou Acropolis continued, and the scattered streets and houses made the cavalry that the Mongols were proud of had no place to use.

Seeing that his subordinates had suffered more than half of their casualties in an instant, Boyan Temur realized that there was no point in struggling anymore, so he led the guards around him to kill him in the direction of the city gate with all his might.

At this time, the city gate had been poured with tinder oil and ignited a raging fire, but the thorn cavalry didn't care about so many. Staying in the city to resist was a dead situation. On the contrary, they had to rush out with all their might, and maybe there was still a way out!

The fire and rolling black smoke swept across the sky outside the border, with the effect far exceeding the average beacon tower. Guo Deng, the general in Datong, looked at the beacon fire that appeared in the northwest, and the hanging heart finally let go.

He was not worried about the Tartars' siege. In the cold winter, under the premise that the Datong defenders were ready, no matter how many Mongols could capture the Yizhou Acropolis.

On the contrary, he was even more worried that Chen Yichen's confidant Zheng Xiang brought with him a fake news, which was the plan of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Even if there was nothing wrong, he would rashly send troops to take over the defense of Yizhou Acropolis and put Zhu Ji under house arrest, which would also cause a great impeachment crisis afterwards.

Zhu Yong, who had no title, still had the honor of being the Duke of Cheng Guo. "Falsely accusing" his son of treason, which was equivalent to severely humiliating the Duke of Cheng Guo's mansion, and it would never be possible to give up.

Fortunately, everything happened as planned, and it was confirmed that Zhu Ji was the identity of Watana Nei.

At the same time, another problem was placed in front of Guo Deng, which was how he should report to the court, and found that the Tartars and Zhu Ji were in harmony with each other, and wanted to capture the Yizhou Acropolis and seize the crown prince.

Could it be that Chen Yichen sent troops outside the frontier without successfully assassinating the Supreme Emperor, but unexpectedly discovered the movements of most of the troops in the Tissau?

The act of monarchy cannot be accepted by the world in all dynasties, even if the other party is a foolish monarch.

Of course, Zheng Xiang could not say that he was here to assassinate the Supreme Emperor, but based on the assassination of Zhu Qizhen outside the pass, it is easy for an experienced veteran like Guo Deng to judge the whole matter!

The multiple-choice questions that were once placed in front of Shen Yichen and Yu Qian are now placed in front of Guo Deng again.

Loyal to the emperor or the country?

"General Guo, what happened in the northwest direction? Why did the beacon fire appear?"

Zhu Qizhen's inquiry interrupted Guo Deng's hesitation. He quickly hugged his fists and replied: "Report to the Emperor, the Tartars invaded the Yizhou Guards and should be at war at this moment."

"Boyan Timur really offended the border?"

After confirming that it was the battle in Yizhou Guards, Zhu Qizhen's face was full of surprise. He always believed that the wats and cavalry led by Boyan Timur were protectors. In fact, in Jiufenggou, they also repelled the assassins that raided and protected their safety.

Unexpectedly, the guards turned around and attacked the border city of Daming and placed their "king" where they were. Could it be that Boyan Temur's loyal actions in the Watshu Camp were all false?

No one can give Zhu Qizhen the answer. It can only be said that the battle of Tumubao not only interrupted his backbone and spirit, but even caused his mind to be distorted, making many actions that hurt their loved ones and their enemies were happy.

No matter how loyal Boyan Timur was to Zhu Qizhen, he never forgot that he was a Mongolian person, and that the Ming Dynasty was the enemy.

As the former Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen forgot!

"Don't worry, the emperor, I have sent heavy troops to defend, and I will definitely make the offensive Tartars come and go without a return!"

When Guo Deng saw Zhu Qizhen's expression of surprise, he thought he was worried about the situation in Yizhou Acropolis, so he quickly expressed his complete preparations.

If Guo Deng knew, Zhu Qizhen was not thinking about the territory of the Ming Dynasty or the soldiers guarding the border, but his personal friendship with the enemy at the Wasai Camp, and I don’t know what to think...

"I understand."

Zhu Qizhen let out a heavy breath and then stopped talking.

Looking at the back of the Supreme Emperor leaving, the aide standing beside Guo Deng suddenly spoke: "General Rong, his subordinates risked their lives to suggest that they should not truthfully report to the court about the Yizhou Guards."

"Old Chen Ge is concerned about his family, country and the world, and is actually a minister of the country, but the Supreme Emperor is not a wise ruler of the country!"

What Zhu Qizhen was thinking in his heart was indeed not clearly stated, but his expression changed but could not escape the eyes of those who were interested.

For such a emperor who lost his troops and humiliated the country, he betrayed Ge Lao Chen who informed the enemy's movements at critical moments and saved the Datong border defense. It was a despicable act, and the staff disdained him to do it!

The staff saw it, but Guo Deng didn't see it. When Zhu Qizhen was pushed out to knock on the door to Datong Mansion, he saw the cowardice and coldness of this king.

"Is this an ungrateful person?"

Guo Deng replied with a serious expression. Chen Yichen knew that exposing the act of regicide would lead to the disaster of killing the nine clans, but for the sake of the nine border soldiers and the Ming Dynasty, he resolutely sent someone to inform the Tartars of the offensive movements of the border.

If I were a betrayal villain, even if I died in the nine fountains, I would have no face to face the 45,000 brothers who died in Yanghe in one battle!

From this moment on, Zhu Qizhen was no longer the king who had been loyal to Guo Deng’s heart!

"Send people to Yizhou Acropolis to count the results of the battle, and then send them to the capital as soon as possible. Zhu Ji, a person like the enemy, cannot stay!"

"Yes, General Rong."

The battle results of Yizhou Acropolis were very tragic, but they were unilateral. The corpses of Mongolians in the inner city were covered with densely packed with streets, especially the corpses at the city gate were piled up like mountains.

Boyan Timur relied on human life and horse corpses to spread the burning flames. In the end, more than 2,000 people were supported by a thousand soldiers behind the palace and saved their lives in a hurry.

He caught turtles in the jar and annihilated more than 7,000 Tartar cavalry, but his own casualties were less than 100, creating the best foreign record since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, even no one. Zhu Ji, a person who was a lie, Boyan Timur wanted to dismember him to the five horses!

He once doubted whether Zhu Ji had the possibility of a double-faced spy, otherwise such a sudden attack of temporary decisions in winter would be known to the Datong defenders and prepared in advance?

No one knows the various accidents behind it, but the Ming Dynasty capital on the other hand ushered in the first day of the Jingtai year. Many people are not only confused and expectant about the arrival of the new king and the new year names.

I wonder if a new atmosphere will appear in the first year of Jingtai.

Farewell to the old and welcome the new, and all kinds of lights and colors inside and outside the imperial city were decorated with joy, trying to wash away the hardships and sorrows experienced in the past year with joy.

The court officials and the wife put on grand court uniforms and prepared to go to the palace to attend the official court meeting and the "court congratulations", without realizing that the border had just ended a bloody war of killing.

Chen Yichen did not wear the third-rank civil servant uniform, but instead put on the bullfighting uniform given by the emperor and put on the golden flower belt.

I used to wear this outfit, which was a bit ostentatious and show-off. Now, Chen Yichen is wearing it again, which is normal.

He no longer needs to care about the eyes and opinions of important officials in the court, because he himself is an important official in the current dynasty!
