Chapter 222 The Second Fire(1/3)
Pacify the camp.
In the big tent, everyone gathered in front of the sand table, waiting anxiously.
Since Lin Mang left last night, Ma Gui kept holding in the big tent.
Not only that, he also sent most of the scouts in the general to investigate military information along the forts.
Everyone stayed up all night.
Ma Gui stared at the sand table with a burning gaze, focusing his eyes on Hanshan Fort.
For a battlefield general like him, the opportunity for war is fleeting and he does not want to make any mistakes.
"Deputy General Ma, it's almost dawn, I think I'd better take a rest first."
At this time, a young gang general standing in the big tent suddenly spoke.
Recently, everyone is extremely busy, and many people have basically not had much rest. Now they have been waiting in the big tent for nearly a night, and you can imagine your mood.
Most of the people do not believe that Hanshan Fort will be breached.
In their opinion, Lin Mang had no knowledge of military affairs and did not understand the situation in Ningxia. He acted like this just because he was eager to make contributions.
The Jinyiwei is just the Jinyiwei, not a famous general on the battlefield.
Among these people, there are many people who have been transferred from all over the country, or even from the capital, with mixed qualifications.
In their opinion, coming to Ningxia to quell the rebellion is just a formality.
No matter whether this battle is a victory or a loss, it will not affect their achievements.
Ma Gui glanced at the young ginseng general, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "This is the battlefield!"
"Soldiers can rest, we can't!"
These young generals did not return to the camp before, but went to inspect the defense line and did not return until the second midnight.
But it is said that it is a inspection of the defense line, which is actually a gangster's qualifications and a contribution to your resume.
In front of Lin Mang, he naturally didn't dare, but in front of Ma Gui, he naturally had no scruples.
Li Xunfeng stood aside with his arms in his arms, a hint of undetectable sneer flashed in his eyes.
The Hanshan Fort has a dangerous terrain and there are 30,000 defenders, so it is not so easy to break, let alone in such a short time.
If it is not done well, once the nearby fortress defenders rushed to help, the two thousand Jinyiwei would have to be damaged, and in the end they would have to rely on them to rescue.
At this moment, a man walked outside the tent and looked cold.
Tang Qi bowed and said, "General Ma!"
"Hanshan Fort has been broken, and all the surrounding forts have rushed to help!"
"Please send troops quickly!"
Ma Gui's eyes lit up, and he punched the sand tray. He was instantly energetic, excited, and shouted: "Come here!"
"Tell the troops to set out!"
"I will seize all the defense lines of Hanshan Fort within one day!"
Everyone in the tent was stunned at first, and soon showed disbelief.
Really broken?
Li Xunfeng looked gloomy and said to himself: "How could it be so fast? How long has it been?"
The messenger rushed around quickly.
The sound of war drums is like thunder!
The entire camp of quelling the rebellion took action instantly.
The war horses neighed!
Rolling up the dust waves in the sky!
Ma Gui glanced at everyone, chuckled, and walked out of the tent directly, turned over and jumped onto the horse.
"Go to the expedition!"
...
At the same time, the news of Hanshan Fort being breached also came back to Ningxia City.
General's Office,
At this moment, Zhaoyang Chusheng, and Wei Bai had just stood up from the quilts of the two beautiful girls.
Under the service of the maid, he wore a luxurious python robe and walked out of the room with a blush on his face.
Outside the door, Jun Chengen was waiting anxiously.
Seeing that He Bai walked out, he hurried forward and said anxiously: "Father, Hanshan Fort has been broken!"
"What?" The smile on He Bai's face suddenly solidified. He grabbed He Cheng'en's collar and said angrily: "What's going on?"
"Don't Hanshan Fort have 30,000 troops?"
"Where is Qingyun?"
Hanshan Fort is the top priority. These 30,000 were all his secret recruitment of Mongolian private soldiers, and they were all elite.
It is because he does not trust the Han people and is afraid that those Han people will turn against each other in the last battle.
Xu Chengen hurriedly said: "The specific situation is not clear yet. When the generals near Hanshan Fort arrived, Hanshan Fort was in a mess, and none of them were spared."
"Ji Yun has also been killed!"
He staggered back two steps, his face looking ugly.
At this moment, a soldier outside the yard hurried over with a panic look.
"Report~"
"Your Majesty, just now the battle report came from the front line. All the Thirteen Forts in Hanshan Fort were captured by the Ming army, and our army suffered heavy casualties."
He felt a buzz in his mind, as if he was deaf and could not hear any sound.
"Father!"
"Father!"
Cheng'en called anxiously.
He Bai suddenly came to his senses, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Let's go to the meeting hall."
When the beggar rushed to the lobby, there were two people waiting in the hall.
Bai Wanying gently shook her pure white feet, and the silver bell rang lightly, and from time to time she threw a charming look at the master of the Vajra Sect of the Grassland Tantra sitting opposite her.
"Amitabha~" Vajra Sect's guru Galafan recited the Buddha's name lightly, and his eyes looked at Bai Wanying with a faint disgrace.
The White Lotus Sect originally originated from the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism. However, after countless years of development, the White Lotus Sect was formed in the Southern Song Dynasty and believed in Maitreya Buddha.
After the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect reached an unprecedented peak.
At this time, the teachings of the White Lotus Sect gradually evolved, and many new schools appeared in the religion.
There were more and more schools that evolved. After the Zhengde period, the school that believed in "no birth and old mother, vacuum home" appeared.
The White Lotus Sect, which is mostly believed by the people, is this school, and this school is also the largest number and most extensively developed, and many schools have been merged by them.
Therefore, the White Lotus Sect and Tantric Buddhism still have a deep connection.
When the White Lotus Sect escaped into Mongolia, it quietly preached in Mongolia and had connections with the nobles of various Mongolian tribes.
For Tantric Buddhism, the White Lotus Sect is also their competitor.
The Vajra Sect of the Grassland Tantra has a high prestige in all Mongolian tribes, and the Vajra Sect is also the most influential sect of the Tantric Sect of preaching on the Grassland.
This time, Huobao cooperated with 30,000 Mongolian right-wing households, and Zhuang Tulai sent a tantric master to come in person, which shows the importance.
For Zhuang Tulai, as long as they can occupy Ningxia, they can use this to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale.
Even if it doesn't work, they can use this to hate the benefits from the Ming Dynasty.
As early as the 13th year of Wanli, Zhuang Tulai sent people to invade Yongxing Fort and attacked the Yongxing Fort garrison.
What Zhuang Tulai thought was that he had always gained the same status as Altan Khan of the Tumote tribe, and he wanted the Ming court to open more tribute cities.
Wen Bai walked out of the hall, glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "You should have received the news, Hanshan Fort was broken."
"Now the defense line in Hanshan Fort has been occupied by the Ming army."
Galafan frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Don't there be 30,000 troops in Hanshan Fort?"
Although he didn't understand anything on the battlefield, he also understood something.
"In such a short time, the surrounding forts should be able to rush to help."
Bai Wanying's eyes flashed, she glanced at Galafan, and chuckled, "It's very simple."
"That guy took action!"
