Therefore, Huang Degong, Tiefeng and other guards battalion sentries quietly followed the Donglu soldiers.
Because Huang Degong and Tiefeng had the aid of telescopes, they did not have to follow these Donglu soldiers too close, thus reducing the chance of being discovered by Donglu scouts.
After all, in this era, telescopes had just been introduced to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao also ordered that news about telescopes be blocked.
Therefore, Nurhachi's Donglu soldiers do not have such a thing yet, and they have fewer advantages than the sentry detectives of the Guards Battalion.
But this does not mean that these Donglu soldiers are not powerful scouts. As Jurchens from a fishing and hunting tribe, it is common for them to lurk in the wild for several days, waiting for prey to appear. Therefore, Donglu soldiers are particularly talented at spying on the enemy. According to reports, Documents record that in history, when Huang Taiji was conquering Mongolia, there were Donglu scouts who spied on the enemy and lurked in the wild for a month.
Therefore, Huang Degong, Tiefeng and others still must not be extremely careful.
Especially when tracking the march of an army, you cannot be too far away from the enemy, otherwise it will be easy to lose track, and it will be easier to be discovered, so you need more courage.
Huang Degong was surprisingly calm and very courageous, just like the first pot of gold he earned was for infiltrating the Donglu camp and beheading two people in exchange for a large silver reward.
In short, people like Huang Degong will be equivalent to the so-called King of Soldiers in later generations. In this ice and snow, one or a few people going deep behind enemy lines to look for sentries is very interesting to him. Not only did he not feel fear, On the contrary, he became more energetic.
Because Huang Degong and others slept less than three hours a day on average in order to keep up with the enemy these days, Tiefeng had to rub his face with snow again, and then bit his tongue hard to regain some energy. .
But Tiefeng turned around and found that his flag officer Huang Degong, who was also born in Lao Ye, was still looking ahead with his binoculars with his eyes wide open.
"They turned around and went west! It doesn't seem like they were going to plunder Mongolia. How strange!"
Huang Degong said something at this time.
"Boss, do you mean that they are here to rob our border town of Ming Dynasty?"
Tiefeng asked. He was born in Ye Bushou and was now an officer of the Yulin Guards. He had received seven months of training in the Jiangwu Hall. Therefore, he remembered the map of Liaodong very well, so he asked this question. One sentence.
"When it gets dark later, I'm going to get a scout to come over and interrogate you. You lie down here and don't be exposed. Even if I'm killed, don't come forward. Do you understand?! Of course, if you are also discovered, remember to Smash the telescope, don’t let it fall into the hands of the Tatars!”
Huang Degong suddenly thought of an idea and couldn't help but give instructions.
"No! Boss, this is too dangerous!" Tie Feng said hurriedly.
"Execute the order! If I really can't catch a living Tatar and are killed, you will retreat."
Huang Degong said something.
Tiefeng wanted to say more, but because he thought that the Yulin Guards' military discipline was to obey orders absolutely, he had no choice but to say "Yes!", but in his heart he still had to lament that his leader was too bold.
At night, Huang Degong really moved forward quietly, taking advantage of the reflection of the moon from the white snow at night. Wearing a white robe, he shuttled through the forest like a dexterous squirrel.
Huang Degong even learned to hoot an owl or two from time to time.
Finally, a Donglu scout actually raised his head curiously because he heard the sound, and when he raised his head, he became the prey anchored by Huang Degong.
Huang Degong touched it lightly. As a native of Kaiyuan, Liaodong, he seemed to be particularly adapted to the cold environment of Liaodong. He just didn't make a sound and touched the vicinity of Donglu scout Fei Dai.
And just when Fei Dai nodded sleepily, he suddenly felt a sudden cold wind coming from behind him.
Fei Dai was shocked and wanted to turn over, and drew out the short knife from his sleeve.
But Huang Degong was already on top of him and covered his mouth first.
And Fei Dai was very energetic. He still hammered Huang Degong's stomach with his fists desperately. The hammering made Huang Degong feel like his stomach was hit hard by a hammer, and the pain made him grit his teeth hard.
But Huang Degong couldn't kill him, so he had to press Fei Dai's left arm with his upper body, while turning over and pressing Fei Dai's right arm with his knees.
Then, Huang Degong grabbed his money rat tail with his left hand and whispered in the Manchu language he was already proficient in: "If you want to survive, be honest!"
Then, Huang Degong looked around and found a stone nearby, so he threw away Fei Dai's money rat tail. When Fei Dai raised his head and struggled, he hit Fei Dai on the back of the head with the stone.
Huang Degong knocked Fei Dai unconscious with one stone, and then quietly carried him back like a prey.
When Tiefeng saw Huang Degong's successful return, he was so excited that he even glanced at Fei Dai on him: "Boss, you are really good at it!"
"Find a river with thin ice, break the ice, and then immerse his head in it to wake him up! We must interrogate him tonight, otherwise, when the Donglu soldiers set out tomorrow day, they will find out There are fewer scouts from our side nearby!"
Huang Degong immediately gave orders.
"yes!"
Tiefeng replied.
Soon, Fei Dai was woken up and interrogated by Huang Degong.
In the end, Fei Dai failed and honestly confessed what he knew.
"Where are you going?"
"Guangning!"
"Why did you suddenly go to Guangning?"
"have no idea!"
"Then you go back."
Huang Degong finally let Fei Dai go, because he didn't want Donglu to find out that he was missing a scout. Of course, he also believed that Fei Dai would not take the initiative to confess that he had been captured by the Ming army. After all, he would still be punished if he didn't say it. On the contrary, no one will know what he did last night.
…
"Are you sure there are spies in Guangning City colluding with Donglu?"
Sun Chuanting asked Jin Yiwei Li Ruolian who came from the capital.
Li Ruolian replied: "I don't dare to hide this from Zhongcheng! This time the imperial court suddenly registered the households of the refugees in Gyeonggi Province, and then discovered a lot of slave-building secrets. After rigorous interrogation, we have confirmed that Li Yongfang who defected to the Donglu was one of them The general leader, and these people are also in contact with Sun Degong, Shi Tingzhu and other Liao generals in Guangning City. We even learned through overnight interrogation that they have made secret preparations to fight against the Donglu who raided Guangning City in the first month of the second year of Apocalypse. The inside should be in harmony with the outside!"
Sun Chuanting was quite surprised after hearing this: "Why did they do this?"
"Because it was Nurhachi who forced them, and Nurhachi has leverage on them!"
Li Ruolian answered and then said: "So, the officials and others had to rush to Liaodong immediately and tell you first, because you are now the closest to Guangning! In addition, they should not know about it now, after all, we took them away Almost all the details in the pass!"
At this time, one of Sun Chuanting's soldiers walked in: "Report, Yu Linwei General Zhou Qian and Chief Flag Officer Huang Degong requested to see you!"
