Chapter 1394: Scout War

Yehu Ridge was a good place to miss when Fang woke up, so when he stood on it again, he couldn't help but stop for a long time.

The grassland is the season when the grass is luxuriant, and it is all green at a glance.

Fang Xing turned around, and the army was passing through the mountain pass continuously. If you look around, you can't see the edge at a glance.

The two horses rushed over, exhausted on the way up the slope, and finally dismounted.

"Uncle Xing, a fort should be built in this place!"

Wang He led the horse and came, looking at the grassland below the ridge, he just felt that this place was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was a good place.

Lin Qun'an felt that something was wrong: "We can only build a city wall here, but it's too troublesome. The current power on the grassland is not enough to threaten Daming, so it's better to use offense instead of defense."

Fang Xing nodded and said: "If you want to build a city, you have to build it on the grassland, and Yehu Ridge will become a scenic spot. Let's move forward slowly, and sooner or later, the sound of swords and soldiers will no longer be heard here in Yehu Ridge."

The gun carriage of Jubaoshanwei passed the mountain pass, and the Xuanwuwei was behind. Chen De rode up, glanced at the terrain, and said enviously: "Last time, my uncle broke through the blockade of Alutai here, and fought all the way to the Xinghebao. Yehuling is still the same, but Arutai has become a lonely ghost in Beiping."

The practice and trek all the way made Chen De's face rough, but his spirit was extremely uplifting.

With Jubaoshanwei's precepts and deeds, Xuanwuwei's original veterans were cleaned up, and after a period of practice, they felt a little bit reborn. And the training along the way gave Xuanwuwei a whole new look.

Wang He said with a smile: "Arutai is nothing, the country of Halle is Daming's formidable enemy, Tuo Huan is willing to bow his head and be a vassal, so he must be spying on Daming's side wall at this moment."

Just as he was talking, more than a hundred riders came from a distance.

"The scout is back."

Fang Xing got back on his horse and rushed down with the people.

Leaning back, I felt the wind blowing across my face, and I felt like I was about to fall down, which was very exciting.

Rushing down the mountain, the scouts were already waiting, Fang Xing sat up straight, Fang Wu immediately reported: "Master, I found more than ten Oirat rangers, and ran away after seeing us."

Fang Xing glanced at the scouts and said, "The army is marching in,

Don't worry about the rear, the left and right wings and the front must be sentry in time, and the enemy will report back immediately if they find the enemy. In addition, once a large number of Harleighs are found, they will have to send the news back if they die, understand? "

Fang Wu was not nervous because of the heaviness implied in Fang Xing's words, he said with a smile: "Master, even if Harleen comes, he can only be a partial teacher, we are not afraid."

"Good boy! Good!"

Fang Xing patted Fang Wu's shoulder and laughed, at the same time conveying his confidence to the soldiers.

Immediately, the scouts from various ministries headed in three directions, Fang Xing gave an order, and the army continued to move forward.

...

Running wildly on the grassland is a joyful thing, especially for those men who grew up on horseback since they were young, it is simply enjoyment.

But the ten or so riders who were galloping at the moment didn't feel the slightest sense of enjoyment. During the galloping process, they kept turning their heads to look behind them, with panicked expressions on their faces.

One person and three horses, these men with excellent equestrian skills can transfer on the backs of three horses without even stopping the horses.

This run lasted for more than an hour, and when they saw a tent appearing in front of them, these people breathed a sigh of relief.

There were cavalry ahead to investigate, and the leading man shouted, "I found the Ming army!"

"I found the Ming army..."

The shout passed to the camp, and immediately the bullhorn blared, and countless Oirat warriors poured out from those tents.

Nervous, everyone felt nervous.

After quickly regrouping, the cavalry of more than 3,000 men anxiously waited for the general's order.

"Where is Ming?"

After the dozen or so scouts approached, Ba Gen, the leader of the trip, asked.

A scout got off his horse and reported: "My lord, we encountered a scout from the Ming army outside Yehu Ridge, there are more than a hundred of them."

Deathly silence!

Everyone knows that a scout of 100 people is at least a guard post for the Ming army, but according to the habits of the Ming army, the strength of troops going out of the fortress is often in units of 100,000.

Ba Gen turned around to look at his subordinates, and all he saw was numb.

Arutai was defeated by the Ming people in the first battle, and more than 3,000 people went to resist the Ming people's army, that was the waves! In a blink of an eye.

Ba Gen is considered a veteran, so Tuo Huan carefully sent him to spy on the side wall of Daming.

Veteran, you must be steady!

Ba Gen said in a deep voice: "Send someone to inform the Grand Master right away, no! Investigate the number of the Ming army and who is leading the army before going, otherwise the Grand Master will make a wrong judgment."

It has to be said that Bagen's reaction was quick and cautious.

"Send a thousand people and divide them into ten teams to go out to investigate. You must do whatever it takes, understand?"

Ba Gen saw that the faces of those people were all pale, and he promised: "I swear here, if the scout died this time, the family's pension will be paid at three times."

The pensions of the grassland tribes are very low, basically according to the specifications of cannon fodder. But Ba Gen's reputation is good, he said that it is three times, and there will be no less wool.

So more than a thousand people set off, and the remaining two thousand people watched them leave silently, only the neighing of the horses.

Ba Gen looked worried, and said to the commanders in a low voice: "During this period of time, Atai has been in constant panic. He has already been frightened by our rangers. He was startled three times a night. The Grand Master was going to eat them all at once. , but... the Ming army came too fast!"

A commander said: "Your Excellency, it depends. If the Ming army goes out, there is nothing to say. Let's retreat immediately. The grand master will definitely retreat, and retreat all the way to the country of Halle."

"yes!"

The other commander said melancholy: "If the Emperor Ming personally conquers, my lord, we have no choice but to run, wherever we go."

Ba Gen frowned and said: "You think too much, Harlei people are not fools. If the situation has reached this point, they have only two choices. One is to submit to Emperor Ming, but this is very difficult. It is purely an alliance under the city. The second is to do everything possible. The army, and the decisive battle with Emperor Ming, I personally lean towards the second possibility."

...

Jubaoshanwei and Xuanwuwei are in the middle, surrounded by cavalry, and then there are civilian husbands and luggage.

The long line moved forward slowly, Fang Xing's plan was to arrive at Xinghebao tomorrow and start repairing.

The scouts had already been sent out, and messages were being sent back from far and wide.

"Uncle, the Oirat scouts are being intercepted everywhere, and there are not enough manpower."

"Then send another person and let Sun Yue send a thousand cavalry to help strangle the opponent's scouts."

Following Fang Xing's order, teams of cavalry were dispatched to various places.

This tragic war of scouts did not end until the sun was setting to the west, and the defeated Oirat side retreated like a tide.

And the Ming army is not easy here.

"My lord, more than a hundred people were killed or injured."

There was a lot of blood on Fang Wu's armor, and when it was completely dry, it would crack if he moved.

Fang Xing nodded, and said: "Order to set up camp and treat the wounded. The brothers who went there were immediately burned."
