Capital.

Yu Qian stood at the Xizhi Gate, one of the nine gates, to inspect the fortifications.

These days, he barely slept much.

Check and fill in the gaps over and over again to make sure you're well prepared.

The first army has already broken through the Bauhinia Pass, and may rush to the nine gates of the capital division to attack the city at any time.

In order to facilitate the command of the troops, Li Shimin then gave him the authority to supervise the military horses of each battalion!

Let Yu Qian, a civil official, justifiably command the men and horses to guard the Beijing Division.

Yu Qian, who is the secretary of the military department, is second only to Emperor Li Shimin in status at the moment.

"Lord Yu, you should have a good rest. "

The generals on the city wall who were originally a little unconvinced had long been impressed by the other party's spirit and ability.

In a month's time, the armor level of the defenders of the Beijing Division has gone from one-tenth to fully armed!

Two-thirds of the entire Nanjing capital, a total of one million weapons, were quickly transported to Beijing.

In addition to the deployment of the military department, Yu Qian also used civilian manpower and material resources to transport grain and grass.

Use money to encourage the people and send grain to Beijing.

The soldiers were well fed, and their morale naturally soared.

More importantly, in order to improve morale, Yu Qian directly issued half a year's military salary.

According to his words, if there is money and it is not distributed to the soldiers who defend the city, should it be regarded as a reparation for defeat?

The combat strength of the entire Beijing Division garrison has increased through the exercise, not to mention how much it has increased.

In terms of state and morale, it is almost a daily climb.

"I want to sleep too, but how can I fall asleep at such a critical moment?"

Yu Qian shook his head wistfully, he had never commanded such an army.

But he summed up the fiasco of the civil fort and felt that there was a logistical problem.

Therefore, his focus this month has been to ensure logistics as much as possible.

Even if there are another 100,000 garrisons, the food, grass and weapons in the city will be enough!

"Jingshi, you will definitely be able to hold it!".

The general, who was originally a bit defeatist, was moved by Yu Qian and had the confidence to win the battle.

"Well, I can hold it!".

Yu Qian looked at the soldiers who came and went around the regiments and camps, and thought in his heart.

He divided the three large battalions of the Beijing Division into ten regiments and battalions.

Except for the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Imperial Guard and the Jinyi Guard, which were directly under the emperor's command, the rest of the men and horses were stationed at the nine gates.

Within the nine gates, there is also a regimental battalion with the role of a reserve, ready to reinforce at any time.

"The 10,000 people in His Majesty's hands should also be incorporated into the Ten Regiment Battalion. "

Yu Qian suddenly remembered something, and said with a little pity.

Regarding this team, Li Shimin said that he would not give Yu Qian a command.

I always say that I am useful.

But in Yu Qian's view, only by integrating into the ten regiments to defend the city and using them together can they play the greatest role.

"Oh no, no!".

It was when Yu Qian thought that he would go and persuade the emperor again and get the 10,000 horses over.

Suddenly, someone ran anxiously!

"What's wrong?

Yu Qian thinks that the most critical thing is the army of Warat.

However, the other party's words only made his eyes dark.

"Oh no, Lord Yu.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone!

There are also the guards and the Jinyi guards, all of whom have gone out from the Desheng Gate!".

Desheng Gate is the northwest gate facing the Warat army.

"What, Your Majesty is gone!

Do you know where to go!".

Yu Qian only felt dizzy when he heard this.

Could it be that His Majesty is also so happy today? He was all pretending to be calm before?

"I, I don't know!

According to the soldiers below, an hour ago, they saw the movement of the Deshengmen army.

Yes, it's to meet the army of Warat!".

The face of the person who came was full of grievances, and he had just learned the news.

"Shi Heng, why didn't he come to inform the military department!".

Shi Heng, who escaped from Xuancheng, was originally imprisoned.

But Li Shimin saw that he could fight, pardoned his crime of defeat, and put him in the Praetorian Guard as a commander.

"I don't know, it's all gone, some of it was taken away by His Majesty. "

"This Shi Heng should advise His Majesty!"

Yu Qian felt like he was going crazy!

As far as the Janissaries and the Jinyi Guards are concerned, how can they fight against the Warat army in the field?

Could it be that the civil fort fiasco, it will be staged again!

If two emperors were captured in succession, would the Ming Dynasty really be destroyed?

Yu Qian, whose head was about to explode, couldn't send a large army to respond at this moment.

can only spread scouts and first find the movements of Li Shimin's army.

......

100 miles northwest of Jingshi, Badaling.

Li Shimin led people to ambush in an excellent location, waiting for the Warat vanguard to pass by.

"Your Majesty, if the Warats do not cross the river, then this road must be the way they must go. "

Shi Heng was at the border pass, and he fought many times with Warat, and he had rich experience.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin said that he was brought out of prison.

"Did the scouts find out what was going on with the enemy?".

Li Shimin stood on the hillside, looking in the direction of the Warat army.

"Down, scouts are coming.

The vanguard numbered five thousand, all of whom were cavalry. "

In ancient warfare, if there were more than 10,000 people, there would be a vanguard army and a rear army.

The Warats are no exception.

The 5,000 cavalry served as the vanguard, and its purpose was to sweep around the Jingshi.

Cut off the connection between the capital division and the outside world, and then the army rushed to besiege the city.

Let it become an isolated city, thus putting huge psychological pressure on the defenders inside.

"Okay, ambush them right here!".

Li Shimin looked at the guards around him, although they were all foot soldiers, and his training was so-so.

Caught off guard, it should be enough.

Shi Heng hesitated a little when he heard this, "Your Majesty, we only have 10,000 people.

If 1,000 of the 5,000 cavalry of the Varat vanguard escape the encirclement, we may be crushed!"

If he is alone, he is not afraid, and the battle to the death will be over.

But Li Shimin, the emperor, has to consider the possibility of failure.

There are risks, there are still risks.

"If you eat these 5,000 cavalry, the future Jingshi will be easy to defend. "

Li Shimin is not blindly confident, but a decision made by synthesizing a lot of intelligence.

Fighting a war is a difficult thing for other people.

What is your own combat power?What is the enemy's combat power?

Morale, food, ordnance, and terrain all need to be carefully considered.

Even Yu Qian had to make a lot of effort to understand this.

But standing here is Li Shimin, who has decades of battlefield experience and will live for another lifetime!

The entire battlefield was like a full map for him, and he knew it all over the palm of his hand.

Three hours later.

It was getting dark, just when the soldiers were waiting a little apprehensively.

The Varat cavalry came on the move.

They maintained the most basic formation, and in order to get faster, they were a little less vigilant.

What they didn't expect was that the Ming army would take the initiative to go out of the city to ambush them.

Without vigilance, there was a sudden shout of murder above the valley.

"Kill!".

Huge rolling stones of wood fell, blocking the front and rear exits.

On the dim hillside, there seems to be an endless charge of the Ming army!

"Kill!".

"Fight back, fight back!".

The vanguard did their best to organize a counterattack, and the cavalry galloped left and right to salvage the defeat.

But a few days ago, Li Shimin refused the blackmail of Warat's gold and silver treasures.

Backhandedly, he used all the money to reward the guards and the brocade guards.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

These rich rewards are all transformed into motivation to charge.

"Kill!".

Within half an hour, the 5,000 cavalry was crushed.

After paying heavy casualties, the Warat Pioneer Officer fled with a few hundred horsemen.

The wind blew and the firelight swayed.

The Ming army could hardly believe that he had won so easily!

The Warat army does not seem to be as invincible as imagined!

"Wan Sheng!".

"Wan Sheng!".

Shi Heng's ears were filled with cheers all over the mountains.

He couldn't help but look at the calm Li Shimin, and there was a faint feeling in his heart.

The previous fiasco, it was not that the Ming army was not good, but that the emperor was too bad.

If this person is now on a northern expedition with an army of 500,000, he should be the first to have a headache!

After a stick of incense, Li Shimin returned with the army after cleaning up the battlefield.

Such an earth-shattering and huge result immediately detonated the entire Jingshi!

Yu Qian and the others couldn't believe it, could it be that Taizu Taizong had manifested his spirit!

The emperor's military talent is beyond their reach.

But in Li Shimin's eyes, where is this?

A small battle, a warm-up is not counted!
