At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 115 Attacking Hami
Shaanxi Dusi, Suzhou Wei.

While Zhu Qizhen was on the expedition, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao led 3 horses to Suzhou in batches, and then waited for the opportunity.

After a whole month, finally, the opportunity came!
"Report to Ningyanghou, Commander-in-Chief, Garthlan led the main force to the northeast, Hami's guards are empty!"

"it is good!"

Chen Mao stood up excitedly, and said: "Send the order, all soldiers and horses must gather immediately and attack Hami!"

Hu Lin, the commander of the Suzhou Guard, hurriedly said, "Ningyanghou, should you think about it again?"

"Considering what?"

"This one……"

Hu Lin said with some hesitation: "Such a large-scale battle, should I ask the court for instructions first, and wait for the emperor to give instructions before acting?"

Chen Mao said with a sullen face: "Before leaving Beijing, the emperor specifically ordered that this battle, I have the right to make arbitrary decisions, and there is no need to ask for instructions for any decision!"

"Then... that's fine!"

Hu Lin was always a little uneasy in his heart. A general like him stationed at the border is most afraid of making decisions without authorization.

You know, you are a person with military power in your hands, so you must be cautious in every move.

If you want to do whatever you want, then you are not far from Zhujiu Clan.

Chen Mao didn't care about these things, the emperor personally conquered Mobei, and planned two routes, east and west, if successful, the north of the Ming Dynasty would have no worries for a hundred years.

All I have to do now is to get Hami back, and I don't need to think about anything else.

Hami is the only way between Daming and the Western Regions, and even Europe, and an important node of the ancient Silk Road.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Hamiwei was occupied by Wunashili, a descendant of Chagatai. After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, Anke Timur, Wunashili's younger brother, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and was named King Zhongshun.Its land was set as Hamiwei by the Ming Dynasty, and the Uighur Maha Mahuo was in command.Afterwards, the descendants of Anke Timur ruled Hami hereditary and became the northwest barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

With the rise of Wala, it gradually expanded to the northwest and actually controlled many areas in the northwest.

When he arrived, he took power first, and gradually attacked and subdued the Guanxi guards of the Ming Dynasty through various methods such as force and marriage.

Facing the menacing Oirats, Hamiwei was finally broken by Garthlan and separated from the territory of Ming Dynasty.

This time Zhu Qizhen personally conquered Mobei, and the general also retreated steadily, so he had to call troops from various ministries to support him.

Garthlan has long been dissatisfied with the small place of Hami, and has always wanted to get involved in the high-level Wala. This time, he finally waited for the opportunity, so he left Baiyi Saha Pingzhang to garrison, and led the main force to the east to support. main force.

Chen Mao gave an order, and the army consisting of [-] Beijing battalion and [-] Northwest Frontier Army began to march westward.

In May, there is snow in the Tianshan Mountains, and there is only cold without flowers.

The majestic Tianshan Mountains cut the Hami area in half from west to east. The north of the mountain is forests, grasslands and glaciers, and the south of the mountain is a plain oasis. Hami City was built on the plain oasis in the south of the mountain.

The top of the Tianshan Mountains is frozen all year round, and it is still snowing in May, and the biting northwest wind is whimpering hoarsely.

In the cold wind, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared under the city of Hami.

"Da Ming sent troops to us?"

Bai Yisaha couldn't believe it on his face, and hurried to the city wall, what caught his eyes was the endless Ming army.

"Master Pingzhang, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? The Ming army will attack the city tomorrow, so send someone to inform General Garthlan immediately. All guards in the city, prepare to fight!"

Bai Yisaha was so stupid, he had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't think that Daming could still allocate troops at this juncture.

Now that things have happened, they can only bite the bullet and fight the Ming army.

Garthlan took the main force away, and the guards in the city were empty. He only hoped that with the high walls of the city, the main force could be dragged back to help.

"Lord Pingzhang, there are many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long. How about..."

Bai Yisaha looked back and saw that it was Gong Yangju, the military adviser.

This man was originally a scholar in Gansu, who was looted to the grassland by the Wala people. However, relying on his quick mind and constant advice for Jia Silan, he managed to sneak into the identity of the Hami Guard Army Division step by step.

Although this military division has no actual official position, it is highly respected locally.

When Garthlan set off on the expedition, he specifically told Baiyi Saha that if he encountered any major issues, he must discuss with Gongyang before making a decision.

Now hearing what Gong Yangju said, Bai Yisaha hurriedly asked, "What's your opinion, Mr. Gong Yang?"

Gong Yangju smiled confidently, and said, "You just need to use a little trick to attack the army."

Bai Yi Saha was impatient and asked: "Sir, can you make it clear?"

"Lord Pingzhang, don't worry!"

Gong Yang waved his hand and said: "General Garthlan has been on the march for ten days, and even if he turns back, it will be ten days later. The Ming army will come prepared. If they are determined to attack the city, I am afraid they will persist." Less than ten days."

Bai Yisaha was so anxious that he was about to beat someone, thinking that the Han people are really hateful, can't he say something clearly at once?
Gong Yangju didn't hold back anymore, and continued: "Master Pingzhang can send someone to the Ming army to propose a peace. If the Ming army agrees, we will talk about the details of the peace negotiation in detail. It will take ten days and a half a month to wait. General Garthlan leads the main force back to help, and then he can dispatch troops to flank and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Bai Yisaha's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "This idea is good, but... what if the Ming army doesn't agree?"

"If you don't agree, talk about the conditions. If we give in again and again, what else can he refuse? Anyway, it's just an empty promise, so what's the point in letting Hami City go?"

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Soon, a peace negotiation letter was sent to the Ming army's camp, but they didn't even open the letter. They just wrote the word "war" on the cover and let the messenger send it back.

Bai Yisaha immediately found Gong Yangju and asked, "Sir, the Ming army doesn't even read the letter, what should we do?"

Gong Yangju frowned, thought for a long time, and murmured: "Strange, it shouldn't be!"

In his mind, fighting a war is nothing more than conquering cities and seizing resources.

Now I take the initiative to give you the resources, without spending a single soldier, where can I find such a good thing?
Boom!

Suddenly, there was a loud roar outside.

"Report! Lord Pingzhang, the Ming army has begun to attack the city!"

Baiyi Saha was shocked and immediately went to the city wall to check.

Outside the east gate of Hami City, the flag of the Sun and Moon Marshal was waving in the wind, and twenty artillery pieces were lined up in front of the formation.

These cannons look much smaller than the general cannons, but the power is not diminished at all when listening to the sound.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Under the continuous bombardment of the artillery, the huge city gate collapsed.

"Come on, kill!"

The shouts and killings of the Ming army shook the sky, pouring into the city gate like a tide.

Bai Yisaha really didn't expect that Hami City could not hold on for even a day, and it was breached just like that.

At this moment, he couldn't take care of much anymore, so he gathered his men and horses to kill the Ming army at the city gate.
