On top of the city wall entirely made of loess at Dushikou Pagoda of the Kaiping Health Office, flags fluttered fiercely in the face of the bone-chilling wind. The soldiers on their heads were wearing cotton robes and leather armors, with their hands
Holding the spear, he stood behind the female wall and looked warily at the plain between the two rivers below the city.
The turbid water of the Huanglong River and the clear water of the Qinglong River are both roaring and rushing. It is precisely because of these two natural barriers, plus the fact that one side of Dushikou Fort is built against the Spider Mountain. It can be said that it is
One man is responsible for the pass, and the dangerous place cannot be opened by ten thousand men.
If Wa Ci comes to attack, he can only attack head-on. In a word, he can only pay for it with human lives. However, Tian Kun, who is standing on the city tower and leading hundreds of households and soldiers to patrol, is full of worry at this moment.
A Qianhu next to him also had a very heavy expression: "General, in the past ten days, the Waqi reconnaissance cavalry outside the fort has become more and more frequent. I don't know what Commander Wu means by sending them. So far,
We have sent seven or eight messengers, not ten, but so far we have not seen any reinforcements."
"It's okay if we don't have reinforcements. Our Commander Wu came and reprimanded us, saying that now that Ming Dynasty shakes hands with Wa Ci and makes peace, and Wa Ci surrenders willingly, how can there be war? How can we let him?
We don’t want the big-nosed divination monster, and we are warned not to pick fights. Damn it.” One Lei Qianhu couldn’t help but swore angrily.
"Huh, they're just a few turtles from the capital. Damn, I really don't know how these dogs climbed on top of us. It's not just hiding in Banbidian Fort, they also gave away our defenders.
Half of it was taken away. If Wa Ci really wants to attack, how can we defend it?"
Everyone was talking and complaining in low voices. Tian Kun's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. "That's enough. It's useless to talk too much. Our responsibility is to guard the Dushikou Fort."
, could it be that with only half of the soldiers and generals, all of us are useless?!"
"If the Nawasi people really attack my Dushikou Fort, with these more than a thousand soldiers, we can at least sustain it for a few days. It is only half a day's journey from the Banbidian Fort. Then we will send people to report to Commander Wu. I
I don’t believe they dare to watch us fight to the death with Waqi in Dushikou Fort without moving." Tian Kun turned around, glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice. His face had thick eyebrows and big eyes.
There was a ferocious scar on his left side from the sun to his chin, making the expression on his face look particularly ferocious.
Once, everyone could only shut their mouths angrily and continue to follow Tian Kun on patrol in the city. When they reached the wall of the north gate and looked at the endless golden plain, Tian Kun couldn't help but take a deep breath.
His brother and his niece are now separated from him.
Standing here, I still seem to be able to see that last year, my brother, who had been injured several times, took off his armor and took the lead, wielding the sword full of gaps and leading his bodyguards to charge towards the torrent.
Generally, the soldiers of Wa Ci with ferocious faces and bloodthirsty faces poured into the entrance of the monolithic fortress.
And the scars on his face were left from that battle. After he killed three Waci soldiers in a row, he was hit in the face with a knife from nowhere, and he fainted.
It wasn't until late at night that he crawled out from the pile of dead people. Later, he was rescued by a few Ming soldiers who were lucky enough to survive. Only then did he realize that his niece had already followed his brother.
Although Dushikou Fort was destroyed and almost all the soldiers who guarded the fort were killed, nearly three thousand corpses of ancient Mongolian shoes were left behind, which made Wa Ci also taste the power. Therefore, Wa Ci's army furiously attacked the entire Du Shikou Fort in shame and anger.
Shikou Fort was almost demolished into ruins.
However, it was precisely because of the arrival of Yang Hong's large army that the undefended Waqi army had no choice but to evacuate the place angrily, allowing the Ming Dynasty to have time to reoccupy the place and rebuild Dushikou Fort.
"Brother, dear niece, don't worry. As long as I am alive, I will not let those Mongolian shoes occupy the Dushikou Fortress that you risk your lives to protect." Tian Kun's big, calloused hands stroked the place.
The wall was built like a solid stone, silently in my heart.
"May your two spirits in heaven protect us..."
Seeing Tian Kun standing there with a sigh on his face, everyone behind him had a tacit understanding and did not speak, because they knew very well what Tian Kun was thinking. After a long while, Tian Kun regained his energy and turned around.
He turned to the Qianhu who was the first to speak and asked, "When were today's scouts sent out?"
"General Zhentian was sent at the turn of Mao and Chen today. According to the usual practice, he should be back at this time." Qianhu, a humble name, looked up at the position of the sun and replied with a guess.
"Come here, come and see what time it is at noon?" After hearing this, Tian Kun turned around and squinted his eyes to observe the horizon and asked again.
"In the past, I should have returned at a quarter past noon, right?"
"Exactly, I return to the castle around a quarter past noon every day.
The Qianhu man nodded and spoke tightly. Without much effort, he ran to see the clock ticker and ran back: "General, it's two quarters at noon."
"It's two quarters at noon?" Tian Kun couldn't help but feel his heart sink after hearing this. "Zhao Qianhu, immediately send another detective horse out of the fort to see if you can meet the scout. If there is anything unusual on the way,
, report immediately without delay.”
"General, I obey, let's do it now." Zhao Qianhu couldn't help but clasped his fists and obeyed the order, then quickly turned around and ran down the tower. With a little effort, several horses ran out from under the fort and headed towards the road between the two rivers.
The plains galloped away.
"I hope nothing is wrong." Tian Kun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the figures of the scouts galloping away. However, the uneasiness in his heart became deeper and deeper.
"General, would you like to go back home to have lunch and take a rest? If something happens, the general will send someone to report it to the general." A man from the household next to him said.
"It doesn't matter, just wait here for a while and bring some food over. We will use it here and leave." Tian Kun waved his hand impatiently and said. The most important thing is that here,
It was an unusual time. After the scout went out, he did not return on time, which really made Tian Kun extra worried.
A group of military generals sat in the simple tower on the north gate of Dushikou Fort, had a hasty lunch, and then drank tea brought by the soldiers, chatting incessantly.
From time to time, they raised their eyes to look at the far distant horizon. The longer the time dragged on, the heavier everyone's mood became. Some people even couldn't sit still. They held the swords on their waists impatiently and stood on the tower.
There was constant shaking inside, and the sound of the collision and friction of armor plates was extremely harsh.
…
"Huh?" Tian Kun, who was staring at the drip timer inside the tower, made a sound of surprise for some reason. Everyone turned their attention to Tian Kun's face, which looked uncertain.
Tian Kun suddenly stood up, walked to the drip timer, and opened the lid of the water tank filled with clean water. The faces of the others could not help but change, and they stepped forward lightly, as if they were afraid.
If the steps were a little heavier, the tower would collapse. When they got close to the water tank and saw that the water in the water tank, which should have been as calm as a mirror, was making small and almost undetectable waves,
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change drastically.
Tian Kunyin rushed out of the city tower with a sullen face, climbed to the sentry tower next to the city tower, and looked towards the far distance. Although there were a few small black spots vaguely visible on the horizon,
Moving in this direction, although no figures or black lines could be seen behind, the sky on the horizon faintly showed a strange light yellow color, as if announcing a huge army.
, heading towards Dushikou Fort with murderous intent.
"The more you worry about something, the more it will happen." An ugly and ferocious smile appeared on Tian Kun's face, and the scar on his face was so red that it seemed like it could drip blood. Nan Kun straightened up and raised his arms.
He furrowed his brows and shouted sternly at the people under the sentry tower: "Whoever is coming, immediately light a beacon to send a message, order all the soldiers to put their armor on the tower, and order all the young men in the city to prepare."
"Also, quickly send people to Banbidian Fort to report to Commander Wu and tell him that if the Waci army invades our Dushikou Fort, we will fight to the death in Dushikou Fort. I hope Commander Wu will send reinforcements as soon as possible.
Let Dushikou Fort fall into the hands of tile-thorned shoes again."
"The general will obey your orders." The generals standing under the sentry tower heard this, and after loudly promising, they immediately dispersed. Not long after, the Dushikou Fortress, which originally seemed extraordinarily peaceful in the afternoon, suddenly became...
It got noisy.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the brigade rushed up the city wall in an orderly manner along the stairs. Following the officers' orders, mercury spread evenly on the city wall, and the artillery pieces squatted and squatted toward the city wall with the sound of slogans.
The gun position was pushed over, and piles of fires were ignited. In the big pot above, a young man was pouring oil into it. There were people beside him who were struggling to pull the bellows, hoping to use the fastest time to let the oil
became scalding hot.
"I hope that the thousands of households in Longmen Guard and Chicheng Guard can know the situation here early and send reinforcements in time. Otherwise, we will just rely on our thousand soldiers." Standing on the sentry tower, Yin continued with a sullen face.
Tian Kun, who was observing the enemy situation in the distance, couldn't help but pray in a low voice.
At this moment, a cavalryman carrying a letter asking for help was galloping out from the south gate and galloping towards the Banbidian Fort...
p, war is coming, in history, after Wa Ci and Da Ming Yan and later."
Small and medium-sized conflicts still occur frequently. This is a historical fact and not a fabrication.1?@.
