Chapter 1397: The Enemy Flees
The target of the marching army is very large. If you don't pay attention to the cover, the enemy can easily detect the situation.
So Fang Xing sent out rangers and scouts, with binoculars, he believed that it would be difficult for the enemy to get close to investigate.
"Uncle, the rangers from Xinghebao haven't appeared yet, so they must have been stopped by the enemy."
Lin Qun'an is thinking about things comprehensively now, and Fang Xing is also paying attention to cultivating him, so he said, "Then tell me, how will Zhang Yu and the others react?"
Lin Qun'an murmured: "The lower officials thought they would have mixed feelings, because there are two judgments. One is that the Ming Dynasty sent troops and the enemy blocked the battlefield. The other is that the enemy army sent out to block Xinghe Fort."
Chen De looked enviously at Fang Xing and nodded. He felt that although Lin Qun'an had been stagnant for several years, he was dormant. After Zhu Zhanji came to power, these old courtiers might be promoted.
...
As Lin Qun'an said, Zhang Yu was troubled by these two possibilities.
His subordinates gathered together, and after the last time he made amends, Zhang Yu put out his desire to rise, and only prayed that nothing would happen to him during his rotation to Xinghebao.
But since last night, the scouts have been continuously intercepted by the Oirat rangers, and a short scout battle broke out between the two sides, and both sides suffered losses.
Glancing at the generals under his command, Zhang Yu sighed slightly in his heart, feeling that someone was missing.
If Yu Sanhuo is still there, he will definitely speak first. Whether it is decadent or radical, he can always liven up the atmosphere.
"My officer has two opinions. One, the Ming Dynasty sent troops, and the enemy blocked us. Two, the enemy sent troops to block us."
Zhao Xinbang analyzed: "My lord, the Wala people have been testing us recently, but they are short of troops, so they just watched from afar. If a large army attacks, it will definitely not just cover us, but it should be soldiers coming to the city, coercing us, Let us be terrified."
It was Yu Huajun who died on the bench for Yu Sanhuo. He said: "My lord, we should be more cautious when we are alone outside the Great Wall. Otherwise, if we are not careful, Daming's stronghold outside the Great Wall will be lost."
After looking at the map and meditating all night last night, Zhang Yu was a little tired. He rubbed his brows and said, "No matter what, our people have to inquire, at any cost."
It's the best way to dispose of it, and it's risk-free. As for those scouts who might not come back, no one present would care about them.
Such is the battle array,
If you look forward and backward, the final result is that you will not get anything.
"Come on, let's at least defend Xinghebao no matter what!"
...
A team of hundreds of scouts set off, and as soon as they went out, the gate of Xinghe Fort was closed.
"Hope they're safe!"
Zhang Yu prayed silently on the wall.
The scouts galloped all the way towards Yehuling. After half an hour, they encountered enemy rangers, but there were only more than 30 people.
The hundred household officials said without hesitation: "Kill them!"
More than a hundred people, one person and two horses, the momentum is not small.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Ming army discovered that the opponent's will to resist was not very strong.
This is a signal, a signal that the enemy army is not strong!
If the enemy army is strong, they will inevitably call for reinforcements, or retreat directly, retreating in the direction of the main force.
"Kill them all!"
The hundred household officer shouted happily, and then split open an enemy's leather armor with a single knife. After passing by, an arrow flew past his neck, scaring him into a cold sweat.
"kill!"
Covered in cold sweat, the Baihuguan led the team to rush back and forth. When the whole team turned back again, they found that most of the enemy scouts who had lost more than half... actually escaped!
"Everyone come back!"
The enemy army began to flee in all directions, and the hundred household officials immediately judged that this was not an act, but that they were fleeing for their lives, so they stopped those subordinates who were about to pursue, and said excitedly: "The enemy army is weak, so it must be Daming who sent troops, brothers, Let's speed up and see which adult is leading the army."
The group of people didn't even bother to clean up the corpses of their comrades, so they galloped away. This is not indifference, but the military situation is on fire, and there is no room for delay.
The corpses of the enemy and ourselves were mixed together, and several wounded horses were abandoned in place, whining, and slowly wandering around.
"My lord, could it be that His Majesty personally conscripted?"
Someone asked while galloping.
This is an exciting question, but the Baihu official said: "Impossible, if His Majesty conquests personally, how would those Oirats dare to wander here? They have already run away and disappeared!"
"Who would that be, my lord?"
The hundred household officer thought for a while, "Could it be...Xing Hebo?"
The scouts went all the way while the horseshoes were flying.
After more than an hour, a small flag team that was exploring the way ahead suddenly stopped, without turning around, just staring blankly at the front.
Just over a mile ahead, more than 300 people were fighting in a scuffle. Just by looking at their clothes, they knew that Da Ming's scouts had already gained the upper hand.
After Baihuguan arrived, he ordered to join the battle group without hesitation.
When the Oirat cavalry saw that the Ming army had reinforcements coming, they immediately shouted, and everyone began to break through.
"crossbow……"
The crossbow arrows were loaded, the pursuit, and amidst the sound of machine springs, the fleeing enemy troops fell off their horses one after another.
In Xinghe Fort, which was often provoked by the enemy and unable to attack, these scouts refused to let go of the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, and chased and killed them for five or six miles before turning back to collect the spoils with a big smile.
The Hundred Household Officer looked at the friendly soldiers with a relaxed face and asked, "May I ask which lord you belong to?"
The hundreds of household officials over there all smiled and were about to answer when a black line appeared in the distance.
"The army is here, hurry up! Continue to search forward!"
Uh... The Baihu officer of Xinghebao watched the friendly troops roaring away, and wanted to say that we just came from there and there were no enemy troops, but in the end he held back.
The army has its own rules and regulations, no matter how gaudy he said, these scouts would not dare to disobey the military orders.
Why!
The Baihu officer turned his head and saw the black line approaching, so he led his subordinates to meet it.
When he approached, he saw that all the cavalry were leading the way, and his heart felt cold.
The size of these cavalry seems to be thousands of people, and those infantry are useless!
After a group of cavalry rushed out from the front, the officer from one hundred households rode up and shouted: "Your officer is from Xinghe Fort, and was ordered to investigate the enemy's situation."
After the team of cavalry heard his words, they rushed past him without stopping.
Made! So confident? Anyway, you should also ask a few words!
A steady stream of cavalry rushed past him, and the sound of horseshoes almost made his eardrums numb.
Cavalry, cavalry, cavalry... infantry!
Is it a musket? !
The Hundred Household Officer was hit by a huge surprise in an instant, and shouted happily: "Which lord is there, sir...Uncle?"
Fang Xing rushed over with his servants, reined in his horse and asked, "How is Xinghebao?"
This was a question from the famous Demon God. The Baihu officer was a little nervous, so Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Relax, I'm here, so I won't dare to act unscrupulously if I am here, otherwise I will teach him how to behave!"
The Baihu officer only felt as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer. The excitement and pride surged together, and he shouted, in a voice that he didn't even notice: "Uncle, Xing Hebao is unharmed, but it was covered by enemy scouts a few days ago, and our Lord Zhang ordered his subordinates to lead the scouts to investigate."
One sentence covered up the blood and shouts, Fang Xing nodded, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and tell Zhang Yu, open the gate of the fort, and see if the enemy dares to come!"
The face of the Baihu officer had already turned purple, and he replied loudly: "Yes, uncle, I will hurry back immediately!"
Before he left, this guy also played a trick of equestrianism, making the horse stand up, and then went away with a long hiss.
In this long hiss, the mighty team moved forward.
