In October of the 14th year of Ming Dynasty (1449), the Ming army defeated the Mongolian Walla Army in the capital (now Beijing) to defend the capital.
In August, 14th year, the Ming army was attacked by Warra Army in the battle of Civil Fort, and the whole army was defeated, and Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured. Soon, the leader of the Walla army also led a large-scale attack on the capital. At that time, the Ming court had no owner, and the number of troops stationed in Beijing was less than 65,438+10,000. The people were shocked and the situation was critical. Assistant Xu Lazhu Zhang moved the capital; Yu Qian, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, suggested that the capital is the foundation of the world and the general trend is exhausted. Soldiers in Henan, Shandong and other places should be quickly transferred to help. This idea was supported by the Empress Dowager and Zhu Qiyu, who lives in the capital.
On August 18th, Zhu Qiyu supervisor (the sixth day of September, that is, the sixth day of September, as Jingtai Emperor) immediately appointed Yu Qian as the Minister of War, commanding the military and civilians to guard the city. Yu Qian immediately dispatched soldiers to strictly observe the Great Wall Pass, recommended the commanders of the 3rd Battalion (5th Battalion, Jishen Battalion and 3rd Battalion) in Shi Jing, rapidly expanded the army, rushed to transport and repair weapons, strengthened the Yugoslav capital, improved the rations, purged the military discipline, arrested and smashed, boosted morale, and vowed to stick to the capital.
/kloc-On the first day of 0/0, the branch of Walla Army went south. Twenty thousand people from East Road entered Gubeikou to muzzle the Ming army; 65,438+10,000 people on West Road, led by Ye Xian, took Yingzong hostage, passed Datong (now Shanxi) and Yanghe (now Yanggao, Shanxi), occupied Baiyangkou (now Tianzhen, Shanxi), captured Zijingguan and approached the capital. At this point, Yu Qian rejected the idea of simply guarding the city and was determined to meet the Walla army outside the city. So he guarded the city with one force and deployed 220,000 troops outside the Beijing-Kowloon Gate. Shi Heng, the company commander of the capital, supervised the battle outside Deshengmen Gate.
1 1 day, Xizhimen lined up with the main force first, hoping for a decisive battle. The Ming army avoided its edge and constantly attacked by small teams, which repeatedly made gains. That night, the Ming army attacked Zhang Yimen's Walla barracks and won. Seeing the Ming army working hard, he made a peace plan, lured Yu Qian and Shi Heng to wait until Vara Barracks met Yingzong, in an attempt to capture them alive and make the Ming army collapse without fighting. His plan was seen through by Yu Qian. 13, the main force of vara army turned to attack deshengmen. Yu Qian immediately ordered the squad to ride against it and lure the Walla army into the ambush area. Fan Guang, the deputy general, commanded Ji Shenying to fire guns and rockets, and the Walla army was in chaos. Shi Heng led five battalions back to the enemy lines. The Walla army fled in a hurry, and the children of Brother Yi, Luo Luo and Ping Zhangmao were shot.
Subsequently, the Walla army turned to Xizhimen. The defenders outside the city were exhausted, and the city fired reinforcements. Shi Heng once again sent reinforcements to repel the runner-up. The next day, the Ming army defending Zhang Yimen also attacked many times and repelled the attack of the Walla army. At the same time, the people in the counties near the capital also took up arms in succession, and cooperated with the Ming army to fight against the Walla army, which made it fall into the predicament of being attacked on all sides. First, I am afraid that the food and grass will not taste good for a long time and I will die on my way home. 15, I ordered a night retreat. The Ming army pursued Gu 'an (now Hebei Province) and Bazhou (now Baxian County, Hebei Province), annihilated more than 10,000 Walla troops, captured 48 of their generals, including Agui, alive, and recaptured countless looted people and animals. 1 1 At the beginning of the month, the Walla army retreated to the Great Wall.
In this campaign, the Ming army quickly prepared for the crisis, and the military and civilians cooperated. Relying on the solid city defense, they actively annihilated the enemies outside the city and won a major victory in the defense of the capital.
