Chapter 535 534 Ambush

Author: Guests in Parallel Space

On an endless plain, a team of Ming cavalry walked slowly on a dirt road.

From the flag raised by the leading knight, you can know that the subordinate of this army is almost the highest-level military flag of the Ming army.

Naturally, this cavalry was a unit led by Sun Bin, the general of Ji Town of the Ming Dynasty. They were ordered to rush to Zhengguantun to rescue the besieged Fu Jin army.

Although countless scouts have been scattered around, the battle situation is now complicated. As the general of Ji Town, Sun Bin will not drive the soldiers and rush to the battlefield with no brainstorms.

Cavalry need to leave enough horsepower for riding horses during wartime, otherwise the combat power will be greatly reduced.

Of course, Sun Bin understood this, so after the fast horse left Tongzhou, he slowed down his cavalry.

If you leave the city quickly, you will naturally be a witness for Lu Yi, the deputy envoy of the military preparation road. If you run far away, you will naturally no longer have to show off.

Although most of the Tartars were around Shunyi and there were signs of gradually moving eastward, that is, moving towards Sanhe and Pinggu, who knew that the Tartars found that their troops would not come out in full swing.

As Sun Bin said, even if Fu Jin's troops were destroyed by the Tartars, how big is it, as long as he is not in danger.

As for the reason for slowing down the rescue, Sun Bin had actually thought about it, that is, he would also contact Hu Zhen, deputy general of Miyun, and the two Ming troops jointly attacked the Tartars in Zhengguantun.

Just as the army was advancing and gradually approaching Zhengguantun, several war horses rushed over from afar, and the soldiers responsible for the guards in the distance immediately rushed to take a look.

Soon, several soldiers in front had waved the small flags in their hands.

That is a signal of safety, which means that the visitor is Ming Jun and his own.

Soon, two Ming army commanders rushed over on horseback and came towards the position of the Central Army's tooth flag.

"It was the messenger I sent out."

Zhao Qin beside Sun Bin spoke.

Sun Bin nodded and said that he knew.

Of course Sun Bin knew the messenger that Zhao Qin said was about, and that he ordered him to contact Hu Zhen to have a unified combat plan.

In Sun Bin's plan, the two armies naturally had to set a time to launch an attack on the Tartar army surrounding Zhengguantun at the same time. The others were not within his attention.

Hu Zhen is also an old man in Ji Town, so he naturally knows how to march secretly.

When the two messengers arrived, before they could take off the message tube behind them, Sun Bin asked, "Where did you find Deputy General Hu's men?"

"Report to the Grand Marshal, I met Vice General Hu's men at the mouth of Lianghe 20 miles west of Pinggu."

While they were talking, they had already untied the message and handed it to the hands of the personal soldiers next to them.

The personal soldiers took it and took out the bamboo tube, checked that the sealing was intact before handing it to Sun Bin.

Sun Bin opened his eyes and nodded, "You guys go down and have a rest."

After saying that, he turned to Zhao Qin and said, "You call Feng Zhao immediately, Yan Zhan and the others come over."

"Master, did you act according to the plan?"

Zhao Qin couldn't help asking before leaving.

Tongzhou is not far from Sanhe, and is closer to Zhengguantun.

After the half-day march, they were actually very close to there.

Sun Bin nodded slightly, Zhao Qin knew that this meant that they would launch an attack on the Tartars outside Zhengguantun tomorrow morning.

It can be said that war is about to break out.

Unlike Sun Bin's situation, Hu Zhen took nearly 2,000 cavalrymen of Miyun this time to rescue Zheng Guantun according to Yang Xuan's order. He did not take the nearest road, but wanted to detour Pinggu.

However, shortly after sending Sun Bin's messenger away, he found out that he was in trouble.

Originally, according to the war reports collected when setting off, the main force of the Tatars was active near Shunyi.

But when they passed Pinggu, they suddenly found that there were many Tartars ahead. The scouts sent back warnings from time to time and found traces of Tartars.

This is a death-lost.

You know, there are thousands of elite Tartars around, and they have less than two thousand cavalry, which is not enough to stuff the Tartars into teeth.

After several consecutive warnings, Hu Zhen finally understood.

The Tartars did not return to the outside of the pass, but planned to go to Pinggu to find an opportunity to leave the pass.

This was also because he was misled by the people who were sent back by the Tartars. He thought Huang Taiji would also take this road out of the wall, but he did not expect that he would change places.

With this judgment, Hu Zhen knew that he could not go further.

If you lead your troops to continue to rescue Zhengguantun, the more you get inside, the higher the chances of encountering Tartars, and the risk of exposure will be infinitely magnified.

After all, there are no one knowing how many Tartar troops are around, and they will be exposed if they are accidentally exposed and then besieged.

Hu Zhen made a quick decision and gave up the action of continuing to go to Zhengguantun to rescue Fu Jin's troops, and led his troops eastward toward Jizhou to avoid the Tartars team.

At the same time, he also sent a messenger to detour to find Sun Bin's troops from Tongzhou and inform them of their plans.

In Hu Zhen’s opinion, it is impossible not to detour.

Although the two armies were less than a hundred miles apart, only about sixty or seventy miles apart, there were so many Tartars around. If a messenger was sent to approach the road, he would definitely encounter Tartars.

Don't let the letter fail and you will be exposed.

With this decision, he ordered his clerk to write official documents and send them out by patrolling the messenger, while adjusting his formation and running eastward.

Hu Zhen's quick decision saved the lives of the Miyun cavalry. In fact, if they continued to walk a few miles, they would be discovered by the secret whistle sent by Sun, causing a fatal blow.

However, the way he sent people to detour to deliver the letter was actually destined to be difficult for the letter to fall into Sun Bin's hands.

Even if you walk closer to the road, you will most likely not be able to send this letter.

In this way, Yang Xuan planned to attack the north and south to rescue Zheng Guantun and was besieged by the Ming army but died. Hu Zhen gave up the execution of this order, but Sun Bin still knew nothing and crashed into the trap set by Huang Taiji in a daze.

"Taiji, the Ming army is here."

Outside Zhengguantun, Huang Taiji looked at the villages and towns in the distance with his hands behind his back, and could also see the figures of Ming soldiers inside through the damaged earth walls.

He likes to appreciate the Ming army's lingering appearance, and he thinks it is a pleasure.

However, the voice of Baduer came from behind.

"Come? Where?"

Huang Taiji asked casually.

"It seems that there are about 30,000 people more than 30 miles southwest."

Cha Er replied.

"Who is the leader?"

In ancient times, when fighting, he still attached great importance to leading troops and commanders, after all, this was their achievements.

The more famous the other generals are, the greater the glory they will bring to them.

"Our people dare not get too close, so it is difficult to judge for the time being."

Cha Er replied.

"Is there any news from Sun?"

Huang Taiji did not rush to start a war and eliminate the Ming army, but asked about the news that he had called Sun.

"No, there are many detectives sent out there, but I haven't received any news about the discovery of the Ming army yet."

Cha Er replied.

"It shouldn't be."

When Huang Taiji heard that when he called Sun, he did not find Ming Jun, and turned around and said to Ba Du'er.

"Maybe I'm afraid, or some other reason, there is a Ming army, but I don't dare to come."

I didn't think too much about it, and I just said what I thought in my heart.

Huang Taiji looked up at the sky. There was still time before the sun set, and he had already thought about it.

"You send a few more scouts to investigate Jizhou, Sanhe and Tongzhou directions to see if there are any other Ming troops coming."

Huang Taiji ordered.

After saying that, he walked a few steps forward and walked to his own war horse, but he did not turn over. Instead, he stood still and turned his head to order Baduer: "You go and gather people. I think the Ming army dare not fight today, so we will take the initiative to go and raid them while they are camping."

"As for orders, Taiji."

Baduoer replied loudly.

He understood Huang Taiji's combat plan and sent scouts to investigate the surrounding area to prevent other Ming troops from existing around him.

As for dealing with the Ming army, they were just sneak attacking them unexpectedly.

When camping, it is often the time when soldiers are most slack because they can rest and eat immediately.

When you relax your spirits, most people will panic when facing sudden blows.

At the time of Shen, the sun was setting west, and night was approaching. Outside a forest thirty miles away from Zhengguantun, a team of cavalry quietly approached.
