Chapter 535: 534 Ambush(2/2)
"Master, that forest."
Zhao Qin pointed to the woods in front and said to Sun Bin.
Sun Bin looked around casually, and felt that the only forest was suitable for them to hide, so he said, "I'll spend the night in the forest tonight and tell his subordinates not to make fires and eat dry food."
I added: "In addition, there will be additional whistle riders around to cover this area."
Soon, the news of camping in the woods ahead spread throughout the army, and the Ming soldiers became excited.
Anyone who sits on the horse's back for a day will feel irritated and can finally rest. Naturally, everyone wants to enter the woods early, even if they just get off the horse and take a few steps, it will be better than continuing to sit on the horse's back.
"Baodu'er, look at the tooth flag, is it the flag of the general of the Ming Dynasty?"
In the woods not far away, Huang Taiji asked behind the invisible tree, pointing to the Ming army line in the distance.
The Mongolian tribes fought with the Ming army for many years and were very familiar with the Ming army's flag.
But this time the distance was a bit far, and Huang Taiji was not sure for a moment.
"It's very similar. I can't say it's the general of Jizhen or the general of Baoding."
He stared at the distance and answered for a while.
"Let the white robes outside be careful and don't reveal the stuff."
Huang Taiji also ordered his personal soldiers around him to send letters.
They had already figured out several places where people could be hidden near this place and arranged secret whistles.
When the Ming army scouts came to investigate, the Tartar scouts did not show up. Instead, they waited for a few people to leave and report the news. They suddenly took action, killed several Ming soldiers and left several living mouths.
After some torture and inquiries, I learned the Ming army's flag language.
The rest were naturally the White Lotus Cultists who were mixed in the Mongolian army, who put on Ming army uniforms and sent various security signals to the Ming army in the distance, luring the Ming army into a trap.
As time goes by, the Ming army brigade is getting closer and closer to the woods, and the tired expressions on the faces of the Ming soldiers are clearly visible.
Huang Taiji felt very happy when he saw this. Opposite was a general at the level of the general of the Ming Dynasty, which was rare.
Didn't you see how happy he was when he killed Yang Zhao last time?
The achievements of that battle alone were enough to be circulated among the tribes of the grassland for a long time.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Dadu this time, I had a chance to kill a general of the Ming Dynasty.
He killed two generals of the Ming Dynasty in a row within a year. When the news came back to the grassland, he should have a stable position in his place to replace the Khan.
On the grassland, the weak have always obeyed the strong.
What is a strong person? Naturally, the person who can bring them to defeat the enemy can be respected as a strong person and become a great Khan.
With these two battles, those brothers should be able to give up.
What do they fight me with?
Huang Taiji was so happy that he couldn't help but look back.
Behind him were there countless warriors on the grassland, all of whom were the elite among the thousands of warriors on the grassland.
At this moment, these people would rush out of the woods with just one order from him, rush towards the Ming army opposite, catch them off guard, and kill them without leaving any armor.
"Holding a flag is your goal. I want you to capture or kill the generals of Ming Kingdom alive. Can you do it?"
Huang Taiji suddenly turned around and asked with a serious look on his face.
When the Ming army brigade was only two or three miles away from the forest, a Ming army scout danced the small flag in his hand outside the forest, which meant safety.
Sun Bin looked at the flag whispered from the opposite side and immediately ordered: "Enter the woods, the officers of each team should restrain their subordinates and not be in trouble."
As soon as Sun Bin finished speaking, he heard the sharp and harsh sound of arrows in his ears.
"call out"
The sound arrow shot from the forest into the sky, and Sun Bin's heart burst into tears, and he secretly shouted that it was not good.
The Ming army's scouts would never fire arrows at this time.
I don't know how far this sound will go.
Just when he was lost, countless cavalry suddenly rushed out of the woods, waving the scimitar in his hands, and rushed towards them.
Countless cavalry formations of arrow-shaped cavalry rushed towards the Ming army march, and all the Ming army were trembling in an instant.
Ambushed in the middle.
These are the thoughts that arise in the minds of all the Ming soldiers at this moment.
As the sound of horse hooves grew louder, two teams of cavalry rushed out from both sides of the woods, and double-teamed the Ming army.
A cavalry melee was staged on the Great Plains. At this time, in the Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing had already read the battle report sent by the Ministry of War.
However, at this time, Emperor Jiajing was not in a good mood.
It was not that the Ming army lost any city under the attack of the Tartars, nor that many villages were damaged, nor that countless people became dead under the Tartars' swords.
"Yang Xuan reported that the enemy has fled east, but the Tartars had just crossed the Wenyu River before and plundered several villages and towns under the city wall of the capital. Is there any news about the factory guards?"
After reading the war report sent by the Ministry of War, Emperor Jiajing felt a strong doubt in his heart about the statement that Yang Xuan, the governor of Ji Liao, began.
Huang Jin answered a step forward and said, "The information obtained by the Emperor, I have indeed heard from the Tartars traveling east and walking near Pinggu."
"So, is Yang Xuan's report true?"
Emperor Jiajing asked again.
"this"
Huang Jin didn't know how to answer for a moment.
However, Huang Jin has been serving Emperor Jiajing for many years, and immediately thought of a way to shirk it: "Your Majesty, the two cabinet masters are working in Wuyi Palace at this moment, so why not ask them.
The cabinet knows the news from the court as fast as possible.”
"So, what information has the factory guards found since the Tartars broke the border wall?"
Emperor Jiajing ignored Huang Jin and continued to ask questions.
Huang Jin was a little bit waxed, but at least he managed the East Factory, targeting the Beijing officials.
Now the wars are happening outside the capital, and it is actually the matter of the Jinyiwei to collect intelligence.
