There are not so many luck in this world. When the gunfire sounded, the people who rushed in the front fell from the horse. Then, the iron-armored cavalry quickly came down from the horse, picked up the spear hanging next to the horse, and inserted the end into the grass, with the tip of the spear forward.

Behind this team of armored cavalry, more cavalry rushed out from the wings of the formation, and held the Chahar cavalry that were charging desperately from both sides...

Ten miles east of the Chahar tribe's golden tent is the passage from Liaozhong to the grassland. A series of passes and beacon towers were set up here from Liao Town. Since the Qing Dynasty captured this area, these passes have been accepted by the Qing Dynasty. However, the policies of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia have always been to pull and beat. The areas close to the Qing Dynasty were basically completely surrendered or loyal allies.

The Qing Dynasty never placed too many garrison troops here, because their front was almost in the hinterland of the grassland or the Ming Dynasty.

Except for a few important places, the soldiers and generals stationed at these passes are all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and are completely areas for resettlement of population.

It also means reward. These military soldiers who have fought for life but have no background are arranged at these passes and also receive filial piety from vendors who have entered and left. They are not so much the border soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, but rather the gatekeepers of the border.

The enemies of the Qing Dynasty were the Ming Dynasty and the Western Mongolian tribes. No matter who these two forces were, they could not fight here. These old soldiers also enjoyed their comfortable life.

However, what happened in June was stunned by the soldiers guarding the city at Dakang Fort, which was east of the Chahar tribe. At noon, many panicked herders rushed over with their whole family and livestock.

Everyone said that the cavalry of the Tumote tribe had come over, and the army of tens of thousands of people was overwhelming. It was about to arrive in Liaozhong.

Behind Dakang Fort is an important city stationed by the Qing soldiers. Guangning Houtun Guard is the so-called Yizhou Guard. There are two thousand flags of the Zhenghong Banner and two thousand cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners. In addition, the four thousand Han military flags in Guangning Guards, there are a total of eight thousand soldiers and horses. It will only take half a day to get to Dakang Fort.

The Chahar tribe was less than an hour away from the Dakang Fort, and the battle was being fought over there. This does not mean that the enemy is coming soon.

The leader of the city guarding the Dakang Fort. He was the deputy leader of the city. When he entered Shanxi, he lame one leg and was placed in the Dakang Fort guarding the pass. He made some decisions and continued to rush into the pass. When the enemy troops of the brigade came, he might not even be able to close the door here.

He quickly gathered all the soldiers guarding the pass and drove down to drive away the crowd, preparing to close the door. He also sent people to the Yizhou Guardian to report the news recently.

When the gate of the pass was closed, there was a lot of chaos. The women and children of the herdsmen cried. Some of the arrogant herdsmen took out their knives and prepared to rush inside. Fortunately, although the defenders of Dakang Fort were old and weak, they had experienced real battles after all, and killed a few of them and calmly scared away the herdsmen. After all, they closed the door.

After crying at the city for a while, the herdsmen saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and knew that the so-called "Tumot cavalry" was coming. These herdsmen of the Chahar tribe just fled everywhere, and the old Eight Banners guards at the closed stared at the army that was constantly approaching in the distance.

In the past, the Qing Dynasty soldiers were so close to other people's territory, and this time they themselves were threatened. These old soldiers began to hold weapons, bows and arrows, ready to resist.

But as the army approached, he heard the sound of horse hooves rumbling like thunder. After seeing the fierce cavalry who were shaking their might and dancing with their bows. They were all frightened and did not dare to move behind the mercerated ground. Before these Tumoth cavalry arrived at Dakang Castle, after entering the range of the bows and arrows, the soldiers in the front team dismounted one after another.

How could the small fortress that I could climb up by climbing, withstand so many Mongolian cavalry? The leader who guarded the pass was completely panicked. What should I do? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Suddenly, I saw a high platform next to me. The lame leader thought of a way, and shouted in a low voice as if he had caught a life-saving straw:

"Light the beacon tower, light the beacon tower!!!"

When Dakang Fort was the Ming Army Fortress in the day, there were beacon towers on the city. However, when the beacon tower was filled with thick smoke, it required cows and horse manure. Now the effect of this warning has not been used for many years, and the cows and horse manures have been taken to the fat fields or cleaned up.

This ginseng was really anxious. He quickly figured out a solution and said:

"Take off our robes and stuff them in water. You must be very smokey. Hurry up, otherwise we men would be slaughtered by the cavalry and would be marching behind us!!"

More than a dozen people took out their cotton robes and even the bedding on the kang. The beacon tower had become a pit for piles of garbage and debris. A group of people were tidying up their waists and putting their clothes, robes, bedding and other things in their bodies.

He poured some grease, lit it with flint, and then poured some water. After some clumsy and abnormal tinkering, the smoke finally came out.

After the thick smoke was caused, these Jurchens and weak people didn't know what to do. The Qing Dynasty did not have this emergency response mechanism at all. Even if the smoke came out here, it would be considered a fire or something else. It was just a rush to seek medical treatment.

Chen Yongfu was in charge of the headquarters in Xingzhong, while Zhang Kun and Wei Li were looking at the terrain in front of the pass. There was no danger in this pass. If you want to break through the pass and enter Liaozhong, even if you don’t attack this pass and bypass the obstacles on the edge, there will be no difficulty.

"It will be a problem to have such a fort standing there. At that time, the infantry led by Mr. Ou came over and used cannons to flatten them first, and then enter, which would be much more convenient."

Wei Li looked at Dakang Castle and said in a deep voice, suddenly his eyes widened and screamed:

"This Dakang Castle has actually ignited the beacon..."

However, after shouting it out, he felt something was wrong. Zhang Kun next to him was already laughing. This was a big joke. The Qing Dynasty did not have any rules for calling the police. At this time, he lit the warning. He was so panicked that he must have been frightened. It was indeed ridiculous.

However, the Qing soldiers in Dakang Fort felt lucky that the cavalry outside the city stopped for a while and left in the direction they came.

The troops of the Houtun Guard of Guangning and Guangning Guard arrived in the Dakangbao area the next day. After a commander of Zhenghongqi stationed here, they began to arrange defense and sent scattered herders on the grasslands to collect information from the "Tumet" brigade.

The main force of the "Tumet Tribe" arranged in the Xingzhong area did not hide its intention at all. The spies and herdsmen easily obtained corresponding information.

A tribe with more than 100,000 people mobilized almost 40,000 cavalry, and within less than two days of the journey from Houtunwei of Guangning, there were 40,000 malicious cavalry!!

With more than 8,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han soldiers, the commander of Zhenghongqi was not sure of victory. All he could do was to defend Liaozhong. At the same time, he sent a fast horse to Shengjing to send a letter to request additional reinforcements. Liaozhong itself was also responsible for the task of attacking the Ming army in western Liaoning, but now, he did not even have enough defense.

The urgent letter of help was quickly reached Shengjing. The grassland enemy attacked and tens of thousands of cavalry were eyeing him. The princes and nobles of the Eight Banners who received this news were shocked and Shengjing was shocked.

There were policemen on the grassland, and North Korea used troops. The Qing Dynasty was short of troops in its jurisdiction, and the Han people in southern Liaoning could no longer suppress them.

After the first day of the cannon fodder attack, on the morning of June 21, 17th year of Chongzhen, the Korean garrison in Seoul got up early and prepared for a hard battle.
