Chapter 731 Silent ridicule in the ruins

Huang Taiji's eyes looked like a hibernating poisonous snake, staring at the surrounding fields quietly.

The surrounding fields were quiet and there was no sound. Under the high pressure of the Great Jin army, all the sounds came to an abrupt end. The wind blew from the north, bringing a burst of coolness. The green grass tips growing in the fields kept swaying under the breeze.

Although Beizhili has been very drought and today's spring is late, these grasses with strong vitality still cannot wait to reveal their buds. From a distance, there is a slight green layer.

At the end of March, the weather in Northern Zhili is no longer so cold. This is a very suitable weather for fighting. The sky is also clear and cloudless. The blue sky is pure and flawless, just like a reflected sea, which is fascinating.

Under the sky, there was a different look. The soldiers of the Great Jin Army's vanguard battalion, who were waiting for battle, were pulling war horses, sitting next to the war horses to rest, and raising their strength. All their weapons were hung on the horse's back. With a command, they could immediately turn on the horse and then kill towards the target area.

The soldiers of the Great Jin Army's vanguard battalion basically had thick armor. When they were resting, they would untie the armor to relieve the burden on their bodies. However, now they had no intention of untie the armor. Because they would set out at any time and devote themselves to fighting at any time, and they had no extra time to wear armor.

Some of the Tartars, who were cold-eyed, were quietly rubbing their arrows with dark black liquid. Next to them, there was usually a small iron can, and there was usually some viscous liquid inside the iron can. When the breeze blew, a foul stench would come from the iron can. These huge smelly liquids were some of the Tartars' secret weapons.

Outside the survival of the Tartars, there are some plants that are poisonous. During their daily hunting, the Tartars collect these poisonous plants, then boil them into medicine and apply them on the arrows, which can effectively kill prey. Especially in battle, such arrows are the most brutal. As long as they are shot, there is basically no chance of rescue.

Since the amount of these medicines is not large, it is not guaranteed to be used in every battle. Therefore, the Tartars will only use them on a large scale in key battles. After the Battle of Sarhu, the chance of the Tartars using poisonous arrows was greatly reduced. Because the Ming army was not their opponent at all, and whether the arrows were poisoned would have little impact on the results of the battle.

However, today, every Tartar is carefully applying these poisonous medicines to its arrows. Obviously, the upcoming battles must be taken seriously by all Tartars. Some Tartars even quietly apply the blade of the scimitar with the medicines, and then carefully insert the scimitar back into the scabbard.

These secret poisonous juices will not distinguish between Han and Manchus. Even if the Tartars themselves accidentally cut the wound and then penetrated by the poisonous juices, the consequences will be very serious. In the past, Tartars made such a mistake, but in less than half an hour, they were all black and stiff, and they were poisoned to death.

Huang Taiji's eyes focused on the northeast of the wilderness, which is the direction of Dongjiabao. He arranged a large number of scouts in this direction, and he could learn any movement. He was looking forward to the inspiring news from this direction. Zhang Zhun's speculation was completely correct. Sending two thousand Mongolian cavalry into Yanshan was indeed a trap carefully arranged by Huang Taiji.

The battle at Pinggang was a huge blow to the vast number of Tartar cavalry and Mongolian cavalry. Two thousand Mongolian cavalry, facing the surging Tiger Army cavalry, were beaten to pieces and defeated in a blink of an eye. Such a battle would not be able to bear it if no one else could bear it. Huang Taiji could not bear it.

No matter from any perspective, Huang Taiji must eliminate these unscrupulous Hu Ben cavalry as soon as possible and restore the dignity of the Great Jin Kingdom. Therefore, he quickly set up a trap in Yanshan, hoping that Zhang Zhun would be arrested. Huang Taiji speculated that Zhang Zhun had just tasted the sweetness and might be arrogant and could not detect the trap of the Great Jin Army.

Huang Taiji had enough confidence that as long as Zhang Zhun launched an attack on Yanshan, the Huben Army's cavalry would be dead. He had secretly gathered all the troops of the vanguard battalion in a place very close to Yanshan, and could form an encirclement of Yanshan at any time. As long as the sound of cavalry's hooves came from the direction of Dongjiabao, it means that the Huben Army was deceived.

"Zhang Zhun!"

"You're dead!"

Huang Taiji said slowly in his heart.

Indeed, Huang Taiji really hated Zhang Zhun in his heart. Huang Taiji was no longer willing to recall everything this person did. Everything this person did made him feel a piercing pain. As long as he thought about it, he would be in pain. If it weren't for this person, the Jin army would have soared into the sky and was completely reborn.

Time is slowly flowing.

This is the first time Huang Taiji feels that time passes very slowly.

After a long time, there was no movement in the direction of Dongjiabao. The surrounding fields seemed to be in a dead silence. Some soldiers who had been waiting for a long time also had some commotion. Some soldiers sat on the ground for too long, so they stood up and leaned bored against the side of the war horses. As for those war horses, they seemed a little anxious, kept bowing their heads and making a low neigh.

When waiting, he always feels very uncomfortable, and so is Huang Taiji. While waiting, he also has a serious anxiety and anxiety in his heart. Only in front of Zhang Zhun can Huang Taiji have this mentality. Because he really wants to deal with Zhang Zhun too much. If he doesn't get rid of this person, Huang Taiji will never have peace of mind!

"Is there any movement?"

Huang Taiji couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

“Not yet.”

Jirgalang's somewhat bitter answer.

Of course, Jiergalang could understand Huang Taiji's mood. In fact, Jiergalang not only understood, but even felt a little sympathetic to Huang Taiji. In the past, Huang Taiji was so glorious and confident. Under his rule, the Great Jin Kingdom won consecutive victories, expanded its territory, and continued to increase its population and wealth. After obtaining the legendary Jade Seal of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of China, Huang Taiji also had the ambition to become emperor. To be emperor, he would really be on par with the Ming Kingdom.

However, Zhang Zhun's appearance broke everything Huang Taiji had. Jirgalang could not understand how Zhang Zhun rose up and how he organized the powerful Tiger Army. Since this person appeared, the national destiny of the Great Jin Kingdom has been on a downward trend. A large number of population losses, large amounts of wealth losses, and the prestige and dignity of the Great Jin Kingdom have been constantly challenged and hit.

"Da da da da!"

The sound of horse hooves is like thunder.

Tens of thousands of cavalry from the Great Jin Army's vanguard battalion rushed towards the direction of Yanshan like lightning. They had been waiting for a long time, as if they were floods in the dike, and they immediately rolled over the field and covered the Yanshan Mountain firmly below.

Huang Taiji also struggled to ride the horse and rushed to the direction of Yanshan as fast as possible. At this moment, Huang Taiji was full of confidence and was very confident in his plan. Zhang Zhun was indeed deceived and fell into the trap he designed. It seems that Zhang Zhun is not a difficult person to deal with! All the troops of the former Feng Battalion rushed to Yanshan at once, and none of the Hu Ben cavalry could escape.

Want to fight the Great Jin army? Dream about it!

Zhang Zhun, this time, you are dead!

More than an hour later, Huang Taiji successfully arrived at Yanshan.

There was already a mess here, with traces of war everywhere, and the bodies of Mongolian cavalry lying on the ground, as well as a large number of war horses, which fell to the ground, or were lying on the ground in pain. However, Huang Taiji didn't care about these things, and the only thing he cared about was the movements of the Hu Ben cavalry.

"Khan, the enemy ran away!"

The scout captain came up to report with a restless expression.

"Running?"

"I can't escape!"

Huang Taiji said coldly.

He divided the troops of the vanguard battalion into two routes, covering Yanshan and intercepting the direction of Dongjiabao. If Zhang Zhun could not be caught in Yanshan, they would definitely be caught not far from Dongjiabao. Huang Taiji had calculated carefully that he would not be half a step slower than the Hu Ben cavalry like Pinggang.

"They ran south!"

The captain of the scout said carefully.

"South?"

Huang Taiji suddenly felt something was wrong.

Zhang Zhun actually ran to the south? Not good! The vanguard battalion is in the south, but no troops are deployed! Even if they are chasing them now, they may not be able to catch up. How could Zhang Zhun escape to the south? Could it be that he wants to escape back to Texas?

"impossible!"

Huang Taiji said angrily.

Zhang Zhun's cavalry set out from Dongjiabao, how could he escape to the south? Could it be that Zhang Zhun knew his plan, so after attacking Yanshan, he immediately ran to the south and avoided the traps he set up? If this is the case, Zhang Zhun would be too smart, right?

"Bagan said that."

The captain of the scout was pale and he said carefully.

"Call Bagan!"

Huang Taiji shouted angrily.

Bagen is the leader of the two Mongolian Thousand People Team, and they are also relatives of Zaisanbuhe. This person is an honest Mongolian, completely different from Hasen, who is out of character. Because of the Pinggang battle, Huang Taiji now has distrust all his subordinates who are too smart. He would rather use some honest people.

"Sweat!"

Bagen came to Huang Taiji and greeted him honestly.

"Where did the Hu Ben Army appear?"

Huang Taiji asked with a gloomy face.

"south."

Bagan's honest answer.

"How many troops are there?"

Huang Taiji vaguely felt something was wrong.

The Hu Ben Army cavalry actually came from the south? Isn’t Zhang Zhun’s cavalry in Dongjiabao? Dongjiabao is in the north of Yanshan Mountain, how could the Hu Ben Army cavalry come from the south? Did Zhang Zhun secretly set out from the Dongjiabao, then circled a big circle, and then launched an attack from the south? Impossible! Zhang Zhun would not be so bored! It is time-consuming to circle around, and it is not easy to keep his whereabouts secret.

"Maybe less than two thousand people!"

Bagan's answer was not quite sure.

"Oops!"

Huang Taiji shouted in dismay.

Bagen is also an old battlefield. There will be no mistakes about the number of enemies. He said that the number of cavalry in the Hu Ben Army is less than 2,000, which means that there are really less than 2,000 people. Compared with each other, the problem arises.

The Huben cavalry that attacked Pinggang must have more than 2,000 people. Some of the soldiers of the Great Jin army were very knowledgeable about horse hoof prints. They carefully observed all horse hoof prints and concluded that the strength of the Huben cavalry was about 3,000 people. This number has been repeatedly confirmed and will never be wrong.

In other words, there is a difference of at least one thousand people between the Huben cavalry attacking Pinggang and Yanshan. If Zhang Zhu really attacked Yanshan, he would not have been able to dispatch only two thousand people with three thousand cavalry. It is very likely that the one who attacked Yanshan was the Huben cavalry of another route, not directly commanded by Zhang Zhun himself.

"You will tell me the details."

Huang Taiji tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety and said calmly.

He could feel that there must be a problem here, and it was a big problem. However, as the head coach, he cannot panic. Even if the sky falls, Huang Taiji will have to withstand. The more critical the moment is, the more he has to withstand. If Huang Taiji panics, the entire forward camp may be in panic.

"OK!"

Bagan just explained it honestly.

According to Huang Taiji's instructions, Bagen brought two thousand Mongolian cavalry into Yanshan. His main task was to act as bait and wait for the arrival of the Hu Ben Army cavalry in the direction of Dongjiabao. For this reason, Bagen made sufficient preparations. He arranged the troops northward and stared at the northern fields vigilantly. However, unexpectedly, the Hu Ben Army cavalry suddenly appeared from behind.

Caught off guard, Bagen and his subordinates were attacked by the fierce attacks of the Hu Ben cavalry and killed four or five hundred people in battle. Fortunately, the number of Hu Ben cavalry was not large, and they could not eat all the Mongolian cavalry at once. The two sides immediately entered a confrontation. The Mongolian cavalry also launched a counterattack on the Hu Ben cavalry, causing certain losses to the Hu Ben cavalry.

Bagen tried to entangle the Hu Ben cavalry and wait for Huang Taiji to arrive. However, his casualties were indeed very large and he had no ability to entangle the other party. The tighter the entanglement, the greater the losses of the troops. Moreover, the retreat of the Hu Ben cavalry was very decisive and did not drag on the mud at all.

"You said that the Hu Ben Army's withdrawal was very determined and decisive?"

Jirgalang sensitively grasped the key to the problem.

"Yes!"

Bagan answered honestly.

"Our plan was discovered by the Hu Ben Army."

Jirgalang glanced at Huang Taiji and said bitterly.

When the Huben Army cavalry had the upper hand, they quickly retreated without completely defeating the Mongolian cavalry, regardless of it. They obviously knew that Huang Taiji's vanguard battalion would quickly reinforce. They must escape quickly before the vanguard battalion arrived, otherwise they might be surrounded by the vanguard battalion. In other words, the Huben Army had known the action plan of the Great Jin Army for a long time.

"Not good! Base Camp!"

Jirgalang suddenly cried out.
Chapter completed!
