Thank you very much for your reward!

The entire restaurant was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tao Xingyan.●⌒, the candidates sitting were all northerners, and no one was more concerned about the border situation than them. Moreover, this military incident almost delayed their scientific examination.

When Tao Xingyan heard Luo Xin's question, he looked gloomy and said, "No wars have happened in Datong yet, but many small wars broke out in Xuanfu."

"It's already happened?" All the candidates were shocked, and Yun Zhiqiu blurted out and asked.

"Yeah!" Tao Xingyanning said with a key point: "From time to time, a small group of cavalrymen plundered the countryside outside Xuanfu. In fact, the war in the north has begun."

"Then... what's the outcome?" Zhang Xun asked anxiously.

A hint of excitement appeared on Tao Xingyan's face and said, "Everyone knows that only General Ma in the north can fight Altan Khan and become Ma madman by the Mongols. And not only was he crazy, but his subordinates were also crazy. So General Ma did not stick to the city, but went out to fight several tough battles with the Mongolian soldiers."

"Let's talk about the outcome?" the candidates asked almost in unison.

“There are wins and losses for each other.”

"Oh..." Not only did all the candidates sigh: "It's not a big victory!"

Tao Xingyan smiled bitterly and said, "This is not easy. Is the general in the north dared to lead the army and the Mongolian cavalry in field battles? And they also won and lost each other? Did those generals flee without expecting the wind? They completely ignored our people?"

The candidates were silent, and a sad atmosphere spread in the restaurant for a moment.

"Bang..." A candidate slapped the table and said, "My Ming Dynasty's millions of powerful soldiers were defending the border, but they were repeatedly bullied by more than 100,000 Mongolian people. Millions of troops fled to see the wind, and even fled before the wind even came. What's the use of raising these soldiers?"

Tao Xingyan sneered and said, "Not to mention a million soldiers, even tens of millions of soldiers are useless and cannot stop the Mongols' iron hooves."

All the candidates' faces changed, and Yun Zhiqiu even said anxiously: "Brother Tao is careful."

All the candidates also stared at Tao Xingyan angrily. He called the Mongols the Iron Hoof, and said that even if there were tens of millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, they could not stop the Mongolian army. Isn’t this saying that the Ming Dynasty should be destroyed?

Tao Xingyan raised his neck and said, "There is nothing to be cautious about. It is said that a soldier is a group of soldiers. If the generals in the border are like General Ma, let alone a million heroes. Even if half of them are cut off, only 500,000 heroes can be destroyed.

but……"

Tao Xingyan paused for a moment, glanced at the candidates and said, "But, how many famous generals in the border area of ​​Daming who dared to fight Altan Khan hard?

There is only one general horse!

So I said that even if there are tens of millions of soldiers, it is useless. As long as there are generals who are afraid of life and death, tens of millions of soldiers will turn into tens of millions of bear soldiers and bear bears!”

There was silence in the restaurant, and the needles could be heard.

Tao Xingyan's words left all the scholars speechless because his words were saying what all the candidates were thinking.

"Is there really no way to resist the Mongols?" Yun Zhiqiu sighed.

"I can't see hope!" Tao Xingyan said coldly.

At this time, Luo Xin frowned slightly. According to historical records, this time Altan Khan used troops to the Ming Dynasty differently than before. Most of the time, he separated the army into countless strands, plundered the Ming Dynasty's border, causing the Ming Dynasty to be fired in a row. However, this time in historical records is different.

This time, Alatan Khan was abnormal and concentrated his troops to attack Datong. It was also the news that Ma Fang got from the scout after countless times of contemplation. He determined that Alatan Khan would concentrate his troops to attack Datong, so he went against the opposition and led his army to secretly attack Alatan Khan, opening the prelude to Alatan Khan's series of defeats.

but……

The news I got from Tao Xingyan now is different. There was no Mongolian cavalry in Datong, but Mongolian cavalry appeared from time to time in Xuanfu, where Ma Fang was guarding.

Could it be that history has changed because of my arrival?

Let Alathan change the direction of the offensive and choose to fight Ma Fang hard?

wrong!

Why did Altan Khan only send cavalry in Xuanfu, but not Datong, or even Jinyang send small groups of cavalry to rob? You should know that Datong is only more than 200 kilometers away from Xuanfu, while Jinyang is also more than 200 kilometers away from Datong. There is no reason to only target Xuanfu, and let Datong and Jinyang go.

This is a sound of the world!

Luo Xin's heart was beaten. Alatan Khan really wanted to make Ma Fang have an illusion, so that Ma Fang believed that the main battlefield for Alatan Khan's use of troops this time was Xuanfu, so that Ma Fang did not dare to lead his troops out of Xuanfu easily and drag Ma Fang to Xuanfu. And he led a large army to attack Datong directly, which was exactly the same as in history.

"Brother Tao, haven't Datong seen a single Mongolian cavalry?" Luo Xin couldn't help asking again.

"No!"

Tao Xingyan already knew that Luo Xin was the leader of the county and prefecture examinations at this time, so he did not despise Luo Xin because of his young age, but instead answered seriously.

Luo Xin frowned again, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. The closest to Datong were Xuanfu and Jinyang. In other words, these two Ming troops were the only ones who could reinforce Datong in the shortest time. If Altan Khan still used troops as historical records, in order to confuse Xuanfu and Jinyang, he would inevitably send a small group of troops to constantly harass Xuanfu and Jinyang, so that Xuanfu and Jinyang would determine that Altan Khan would attack them and dare not send troops to reinforce them easily.

In this way, Mongolian cavalry will soon appear in Jinyang.

Luo Xin was relieved that in Jinyang, only a small group of Mongolian cavalry appeared, and only a plundering of villages without city defense, but unable to attack the county town. Yanglin County should be safe.

but……

What Luo Xin wanted was not just safety. This northern war was the watershed between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. Before that, Altan Khan had been cruelly tortured the Ming Dynasty. He fought whenever he wanted, and fought like this. The Ming Dynasty could only be beaten and fled. Altan Khan had once been at the city of Beijing. It can be seen what the Ming Dynasty was beaten? What was the fear of Altan Khan?

However, the result of this war was completely beyond anyone's expectations. Even Ma Fang, who decisively sent troops, did not expect that he would achieve such brilliant results.

In this war, because Ma Fang's surprise troops suddenly arrived, the prelude to defeat Altan Khan in succession. In fact, the decline of Mongolia began from this battle and was finally destroyed by the Jurchens.

At this critical moment of historical turning point, Luo Xin wanted achievements and fame. This was one of the few great victories that were rare during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was a key battle to reverse the situation of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. If Luo Xin could play a role in this battle, he would gain huge benefits.
