Hexi Corridor, Ganzhou City. Since Su Wang Zhu settled in Ganzhou City, the city's defense has been greatly strengthened. Originally there were only three understaffed guard posts, but in just two or three years, they were expanded to five fully staffed guard posts.
, and three of them are prince guards, making Ganzhou City the most heavily defended city in the Hexi Corridor.
In this case, although bandits continue due to the unique geographical location of the Hexi Corridor, no one will come to Ganzhou City to fight against the autumn wind. In fact, in most cases, the thirty miles around Ganzhou City are very safe. In some special circumstances
It's safe for fifty miles.
But at this moment, looking out from the inside of Ganzhou City, there are tens of thousands of people surrounding Ganzhou City, attacking the city. You don't even need to look, just listen with your ears, you can hear the shouts of killing.
.
At this time, the city's guard, Qu Feng, was standing at the top of the city. While directing the soldiers to defend against the enemy's attack, he kept looking to the northwest and muttering: "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?"
arrive!"
"It's true, Tamerlane has already been defeated and died, and these people dared to attack the city instead of running away honestly."
It turned out that the people who were attacking the city at this time were the people who had been bribed by Timur. As mentioned before, Timur thought of many ways to disrupt the Ming Dynasty's rear before going on the expedition, many of which were unsuccessful. But there are also some
The success was to bribe the bandits in the Hexi Corridor and let them rob the Ming army's carriages transporting goods, reducing the Ming army's supply rate. Because there were still some Semu people in the northwest at that time, who were discriminated against, and these people would have a grudge with the Ming army.
The bandits who could not be trusted all took refuge with Timur, and tens of thousands of people gathered to rob the tramcars in the Hexi Corridor.
Although Yun had started preparing for this battle several years ago, Timur's goal was not realized, but they also grabbed a lot of items, which gave the local defenders a headache. Especially in order to increase the number of people who could defeat Timur.
It is possible that after more and more troops were transferred to Yiwu, the guards responsible for protecting the tracks had to reduce the number of transportations to reduce losses. Fortunately, everything that should be transported to the front line had already been transported, so it did not affect the war.
After hearing that Timur was defeated and died, the soldiers in the Hexi Corridor were very happy. On the one hand, they were happy that the Ming Dynasty had won a huge victory. On the other hand, the war was over and the transferred guards should return.
, and even ask His Majesty King Gan to temporarily leave some out-of-town guards to help them suppress the bandits.
But before the guards who were supposed to come back came back, all these bandits suddenly gathered together, and it seemed that several big bosses wanted to discuss what to do next; and while Qu Feng was still thinking, these bandits actually came as fast as possible
Go north and head towards Ganzhou City!
Qu Feng's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard the urgent news from Pu Bing Liu Bai Li! Because of supporting the war, because King Zhudu of Gan went to Yiwu in person, and because Ganzhou City has not been threatened for more than ten years.
However, everyone was a little careless. There was only one guard in the city at this time, and there were insufficient defensive equipment. Even though this guard was the prince's guard, with more than 10,000 people, according to Pu Bing's report, the number of bandits was 50,000 or 60,000, and it seemed that there were still
There is a tragic feeling that morale is not low and Ganzhou City is in danger.
He immediately sent people and carrier pigeons to seek help, and at the same time began to prepare to defend the city. Of course, he was still secretly hoping that the target of these bandits was not Ganzhou City.
But what happened was contrary to expectations. The bandits did not cover up the whole journey and went straight to Ganzhou City. Even if Qu Feng wanted to deceive himself and others, he could not do it. He could only order the cities along the bandits' path to delay as much as possible and at the same time publicly prepare to defend the city.
After receiving Qu Feng's order, the guardsmen in various places tried their best to delay. Although they knew that facing an enemy more than ten times their number in a field battle, they would probably be wiped out, but they still went out of the city to stop it without hesitation.
But what they didn't expect was that these bandits didn't bother with them too much. After repelling them, they stopped pursuing them and continued to Ganzhou City.
They arrived at Ganzhou City on August 25th, built some hastily shelters, and began to attack the city before noon that day. Today is already the 28th, and the bandits surrounded Ganzhou City for three days before they stormed the city.
Three days.
…
…
"Commander Qu, Commander Qu!" Qu Feng was directing the soldiers to defend the city when he heard such a shout from behind.
Qu Feng seemed to be accustomed to such shouts. After issuing a few orders, he turned around and said to the visitor with a normal expression: "I've seen Weiwei Zhang."
"I have seen Commander Qu." Zhang Wuji returned the courtesy, and then said: "Commander, the two empresses and several of their highnesses have sent me here to inquire about the current situation of the city and whether it can be defended."
"The city can be defended!" Qu Feng said categorically: "As early as ten days ago, I have sent out a request for help. The nearby guards can see it, and the army retreating from Yiwu will definitely know it. At this time, they must be there.
He rushed to Ganzhou City for rescue at starry night. According to my estimate, reinforcements will arrive in two days." Because Zhang Wuji was speaking to His Highness on behalf of his empress, he called himself a minister.
"Your Highness also knows that the reinforcements are definitely rushing to Ganzhou City for rescue at starry night and will arrive in the next few days. But can we hold on in the next two or three days?"
"You can bear it." Qu Feng said again: "Please rest assured, ladies and gentlemen, I have commanded the soldiers to eliminate at least three to four thousand bandits in the past few days, and seriously injured more than two thousand others. The bandits lack medical treatment and medicine.
Those who are seriously injured will undoubtedly die. The bandits have already lost nearly 15% of their troops."
"The bandits are just a bunch of people. They come to attack the city because their leaders are tempting them with huge profits. But after they come to attack the city, they find that the city is not easy to capture. They have always been willing to retreat and are unwilling to attack the city with all their strength. Therefore, the city will be able to be defended."
"
Seeing that Qu Feng spoke firmly, Zhang Wuji believed his words and said, "Then your Majesty and your Majesty will be relieved. After the city is defended, your Majesty and your Majesty will definitely celebrate the commander's success in front of your Majesty."
