    Dakang, an important town on the northern defense line, is Datong City.

    Starting this morning, the beacon has been lit.

    You can see the gradually burning torches and smoke along the Great Wall defense line that stretches for hundreds of miles.

    As the garrison general of Datong City, after receiving more than ten flying pigeon messages, Lu Zhengxiang immediately ordered all enemy towers, road cities, fortresses, forts, and acropolis to enter the most urgent state immediately.

    Once the enemy attacks, he will not hesitate to fight to the death.

    Datong City also immediately entered a state of emergency alert. All city gates were evacuated urgently. Except for the two large city gates that could be entered and exited, the rest were all closed. A huge jack was lowered to prevent anyone from opening it from the inside and closing it from the inside.

    At the same time, he sent five thousand cavalry to start various searches and investigations around Datong City, trying not to have beggars ambushing around. A sudden attack would be terrible.

    After making all these preparations, Lu Zhengxiang and Xie Xuhua, the prefect of Datong Prefecture, signed the report document together.

    Ten homing pigeons flew quickly towards Makino City, where the Taiyuan Frontier Army General's Palace and the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace are located, and the Capital Military Department.

    Looking at the carrier pigeon disappearing in the sky above the city wall, Lu Zhengxiang said to Xie Xuhua: "Wu Dong, I will leave the city defense here to you for the time being. I will go to the side wall to take a look at the specific situation."

    Xie Xuhua frowned and said, "What are you going to do now? The beacon towers have been fully activated, which proves that the enemy is at least 50,000 people. If you make any mistake, who can take charge of the overall resistance?"

    Lu Zhengxiang said: "Don't worry, we have sent a letter to Master Xiong. In three days at most, he can enter Taiyuan City. As long as he starts his journey, Zhu Junli will lead the Imperial Guards and Shi Zhengyi will lead  The border troops will come at the same time, and then they will be able to command the entire Datong defense.

    No matter how bad I am, after all, we have made defense preparations here for so long, and I can still fight for everyone in three to five days.  "

    Shi Zhengyi is Shi Wanliang, the general of the northern defense line. He is a third-rank official. He is usually stationed in Taiyuan and has an army of 100,000. He is responsible for the defense of Yulin, Datong, Zhangjiakou and other areas.

    Zhu Junli¡¯s name was Zhu Xingjun. His background was even greater. He was the General of the Cavalry Guards. He was a second-grade officer and usually led 25,000 Imperial Guard troops to garrison in Zhending.

    According to their directions, Shi Zhengyi should arrive first, and Zhu Junli will arrive later.

    Xie Xuhua looked at him and sighed: "But you are always going to be in danger. Qiyan has been silent for many years, and now suddenly there are soldiers approaching. The situation is not good!"

    "It is precisely because of this that I have to inquire about the specific situation, otherwise we will know nothing and we will be like blind men, how can we defend the border." Lu Zhengxiang said firmly about his decision, "I will lead the three  Thousands of people went out, and there were still 17,000 people in the city.

    You just need to ensure that the city gate is closed when the signal comes, and do not open the door at any time except when Zhu Junli and Shi Zhengyi arrive, or Governor Xiong arrives. This is a great achievement.  "

    "All right!"

    Xie Xuhua has no qualifications to interfere in military affairs. He can only nod: "Deyuan, be careful! Only by staying useful can you have a future!"

    Lu Zhengxiang laughed: "Don't worry, my new concubine has only been married for a few months, and she hasn't grown pregnant yet. She's trying to support my Lu family. How can I be willing to die?"

    After saying that, he waved his hand and led a group of his men directly down the tower.

    Looking at his retreating back, Xie Xuhua took a deep breath and gave orders to his subordinates.

    "Order all village leaders and mayors to issue mobilization orders to evacuate immediately if they are attacked by the enemy."

    "Order Yungang, Yunzhou and other places to be prepared to accept the fleeing people, and all of them must be admitted into the city without any refusal."

    "Order the patrol yamen to conduct an investigation in the city, and arrest all suspicious persons in prison, especially the beggar caravans, and invite them to prison. Anyone who dares to resist the attack will be killed without mercy."

    "Order the armory to immediately start inventorying military supplies, report all data to my case within half a day, and compare it with the inventory data. If there is an error of more than 10%, all relevant personnel will be killed immediately, and all family members will be jailed and exiled."

    "Please ask the two garrison captains to come and see me. I want to discuss defense strategies with them."

    "I invite all the presidents of chambers of commerce, gentry in the city, and officials who have retired and returned to their hometowns to come to the prefect's Yamen for a banquet at noon."

    ""

    The subordinate officers ran down quickly one by one.

    Xie Xuhua??Can accommodate thirty to fifty people.

    Where there is a hillside, there must be enemy towers, garrison forts and forts. In places with difficult terrain, if there is no hillside, a hillside must be built, and then garrison forts and forts must be built on top.

    In this way, once the enemy passes by, you can use bows and crossbows to attack them from the enemy towers, garrison and forts that are condescending.

    Once they want to remove enemy towers, garrisons and fortresses one by one, they will inevitably fall into brutal killing battles, and the casualties are usually greater than those of the defenders.

    And it¡¯s often easy to focus on one thing and lose sight of the other.

    Because the farthest of these enemy towers, garrisons and fortresses is only about a hundred meters, often thirty to fifty meters apart, and they can still provide support to each other.

    Then there must be an acropolis in the center of almost a hundred enemy towers, forts and fortresses.

    The Acropolis is also in the most critical place on the terrain. If you want to attack Taiyuan City, you must pull out the Acropolis.

    There are between 3,000 and 5,000 people in each acropolis. The various defensive materials of the acropolis are more abundant. If the morale is high, it can only be captured with 10,000 or 20,000 casualties.

    ??????????????????????????????????How many people from the Qiyan tribe will be able to fill these holes?

    Finally, there is the biggest boss on the road - Datong City!

    There are 200,000 to 300,000 residents in Datong City and 20,000 garrison troops. If you include the able-bodied men and so on, the number will be at least 50,000.

    Datong¡¯s city defense facilities are also very complete. The city wall is more than five feet high. There is a layer of arrow towers and fortresses behind the city wall that can be connected to the city wall.

    Even if the enemy reaches the city wall, they can still shoot arrows from behind to kill the enemy.

    " If there were no traitors, the Qiyan people who lacked siege equipment outside would have lost 30,000 to 50,000 casualties if they wanted to capture Datong City. It would be unthinkable.

    have a look!

    After such an attack, even if the entire Great Wall defense line of Datong City did not have any reinforcements, the Qiyan people would have to pay the price of at least 100,000 casualties in order to break through this line of defense.

    Which tribe in Qiyan has more than 100,000 elite soldiers?

    Even if seven or eight tribes come together, don¡¯t they have selfish motives?

    Who of them is willing to leave their best people here?

    So far, the Datong defense line has never been completely breached.

    Emperor Taizu¡¯s set of defensive methods has been praised by many people!

    Of course, the Qiyan people, the Uighurs, the Xiqiang people and the Shiwei people disagree.

    On the prairie people¡¯s side, they call these Great Wall lines of defense¡ªiron hedgehogs!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
