Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 254 Biantou Pass (third change)

The westernmost side of the side wall defended by Shanxi Town is Baode Prefecture.

Baode Prefecture is located to the east of the Yellow River, with the help of the natural danger of the Yellow River, it can effectively block the enemy going south.

The side wall of Baode Prefecture goes northward along the Luliang Mountains, passing through Hequ, and Bitouguan to Laoniuwan of Qingshui River in Inner Mongolia.

The city wall continues to be built eastward, passing Shuiquanying Fort, and turning at Red Gate Fort.

The city wall goes south along Yajiao Mountain, Dachongling, Limin Fort, Shenchi, and reaches Ningwuguan.

The city wall then turns east and passes Dai County, Yanmen Pass, Fanzhi County, and reaches Pingxing Pass in Lingqiu County.

The city wall finally turns south and passes Taixi Mountain, Guguan, Huangyuguan, until Huangzeling. The city wall is considered complete.

The length is more than 600 miles.

At the beginning, He Jinzhao said that he would occupy at least one province, and this was the situation he had to face.

The entire Great Wall of Shanxi Town is in the shape of a perverted question mark.

Overall, it is divided into three defense zones: West, Middle East and Middle East.

And He Jinzhao's current power is in the western defense zone, and he only touches the second point of the starting point of the question mark, because Baode Prefecture has not yet fallen into his hands.

In the past, Piantouguan was the seat of Shanxi Township, but during the Jiajing period, the Shanxi General Army had moved to Ningwuguan.

Tian Hu was the garrison of Piantouguan, and when Zheng Xin, the garrison of the Hequ Battalion, came to persuade him to surrender, he refused.

The dignified defense of the Ming Dynasty is still the hereditary one. Can you lose the jobs of your descendants and join a gang of thieves?

What the fuck is the chief coach of the 80 uprising army in Shaanxi, the hammer king of the Northwest.

I think He Jinzhao is bragging.

How can a group of hungry people who can't eat enough to eat fight a war?

Isn't it free to burn, kill and loot everywhere!

If the soldiers in my Tian Hu's hands can do the same, then the combat effectiveness will be improved by more than one level.

What's more, Tian Hu has been exchanging ideas with the Mongols over the years, and he also has a group of elite soldiers under his command.

Otherwise, you won't be able to get the job of guarding the head off.

The generals stationed here and the generals of Hequ all went to serve the king with the former Shanxi General Soldier.

If the Mongols wanted to enter the inland area, they had to break through the Piantou Pass, otherwise they could only enter the inland area from the direction of Datong.

Moreover, Piantouguan is close to the pass city in the Hetao area where nomadic peoples gather. It is a place for rushing, so there are naturally generals stationed here.

Tian Hu wouldn't be afraid of this gang of hammer bandits, so he shot arrows directly at Zheng Xin, the guard, and didn't tell him to leave immediately.

Otherwise, just shoot and kill you, a thief-killing dog.

But Tian Hu didn't leave the city impulsively. Although Zheng Xin was unreliable, he was sincere to his servants.

He could be captured by the hammer bandit, which shows that most of the servants in his hands are gone.

I don't know what method the hammer bandit used.

Tian Hu is a fine-grained person, so he ordered to guard the Piantouguan. Anyway, there are many fewer people and there is enough food.

If Zhang Honggong, the general soldier of Shanxi, had not dispatched elite soldiers to King Jingqin, and then the new governor of Shanxi would have dispatched some soldiers to guard Taiyuan.

With so few troops in Tian Hu's hands, he had long thought of a way to recover Hequ.

Fortunately, Piantouguan has been built over the years, so it will not be easily conquered.

These days, Tianhu also dispatched Yebukuai in his hands to inquire about the news, and the entire Shanxi town was hustled by hammer bandits.

The Hammer Bandit army besieged Taiyuan City with heavy troops. It was heard that King Jin was scared to death by the Hammer Bandit leader He Jinzhao. It is not known whether this is true or not.

But Tian Hu knew very well that he had no reinforcements, all parts of Shanxi were in a hurry, and the Tartars in the capital had not yet retreated.

So he could only send people in the direction of Datong Mansion, hoping to be rescued, but unfortunately there is no reply yet.

After all, Tian Hu is just a small garrison, and there are guerrillas, generals, governors, and general officers on it.

He is not qualified at all.

As for the deputy general Tian Gao who was stationed at the old camp, he was originally his cousin.

Relying on the close proximity of the exchange market and the abundance of food, he didn't care about his life at all.

He would rather not have such a relationship.

So Tian Hu wanted to make military achievements, and in the future he could also become the general soldier, overpowering his cousin.

Whoever let the hereditary military officer like to have more children, so as not to die in battle, but there are so many vacancies for too many children.

Family affection becomes weak in the face of interests.

Therefore, Tian Hu could only send people to monitor the movement of the hammer bandits in Hequ County, and listened to the news without listening to the night.

He Jinchao exempted everyone from their lowly status, changed military households to civilian registration, burned many donkeys owed by military households, and won the hearts of the people in Hequ in one fell swoop.

Then Tian Hu heard that the hammer bandit's large army was coming, and He Jinzhao's soldiers were all given the fertile land.

When the news got out, the soldiers guarding the pass really envied the Hammer Bandit's life.

Because the Weisuo under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi Dusi belongs to the Wushitu Weisuo.

Because they have been owed wages by the court for a long time, if they hadn't relied on the mutual market to extort merchants and cut off the heads of a few Mongolians, they would have been unable to survive this day.

If it weren't for Tian Hu's treatment of his soldiers well on weekdays, he would never withhold rewards.

The soldiers under his command may have sneaked away to catch the thief, or opened the gate of the city.

Tian Hu was thinking about it.

Suddenly a soldier came to report that there were many ships in Guan Hanoi, with a hammer embroidered on the flag, it must be the hammer bandits.

Tian Hu immediately grabbed the Yanling knife on the side and ran to the top of the city.

As a result, Yangtu Fort, Tangjiahui Fort, and Huigouying Fort from Hequ to Piantouguan all fell into the hands of hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

That's why he swaggered here by boat.

The drums of war drums sounded.

The soldiers with their heads closed were on guard.

Those military forts could have supported each other when there was an enemy situation, but it's a pity that the soldiers were poor and clanging.

Tian Hu can take care of the soldiers under his command, but he can't take care of the rest of the army, and he doesn't have the strength.

Now that they surrendered, Tian Hu was not surprised at all.

Because these military households are farming for the generals, guerrillas, guards, and integrity.

Without their support, Tian Hu would not be able to support his subordinates and remain loyal.

No pay, what war to fight!
Liu Erhu led the advance troops to stop on the other side of the Guan River, ordered the soldiers to set up camp, and waited for the arrival of the army.

Tian Hu stood at the gate, watching the hammer bandits set up their tents in an orderly manner, and the boats cruising, a group of scouts came directly over.

Obviously, they are monitoring their own movements, which is enough to see their elite soldiers.

Seeing this, Tian Hu frowned secretly. He heard a rumor that after the King Qin soldiers from Shanxi fled back to their hometown in Shanxi, they chose to join the hammer bandits.

Seeing the military posture of the hammer bandits today, I'm afraid there is a great possibility.

"Master Guard, are these thieves finally coming to attack me?"

"Well, Pianguan County will definitely fall into the hands of the hammer bandits." Tian Hu supported the city wall crenel:

"We just wait for them to attack and smash He Jinzhao's front teeth. If they know it hurts, they won't come to trouble us."

He Jinchao led the cavalry and came slowly.

There are only three Great Ming Guards in this area, and the Piantouguan, Laoyingbao, and Bajiao are relatively powerful.

The Bajiao Institute belongs to Shenchi County, which is closer to Ningwu Pass, and the largest number of troops were dispatched to support Taiyuan.

The next strongest place near Piantouguan is Shuiquanying Fort, the trading point, and the other military forts are not a concern.
