Hulun Lake.
Arutai raised his hand and ordered the captured Wala prisoners to be dragged out and killed. Then he looked at Yesuntai and Ma'er Haza and said solemnly: "Did you hear that? It was King Ning who defeated Hashiha. This man has passed through Mount Harawain and we don’t know anything about it!”
Yesuntai was frightened for a while, his face turned a little pale, and he asked, "Why didn't we receive any movement at all?"
Ma'er Haza wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pointed out the problem: "During this period, we have been on guard against Ha Shi Ha. We have gathered a large number of troops and have not done enough reconnaissance of the movements in Ha La Wen Mountain."
Arutai nodded, naturally there was a reason for this, but with the Halawen Mountain more than two thousand miles north and south, the Tatars could not fully grasp the dynamics of the Ming army even if they had the intention.
"In any case, the Ming court has been involved. We can't deal with it carelessly. From today on, we will send out patrols at least a hundred miles away to prevent any unexpected events!"
Arutai's eyes were full of unbreakable determination.
Ma'er Haza and Yesuntai have no objections. This matter is related to the life and death of the entire clan, and no one dares to be careless.
After all, the person who came was Prince Ning, a very vicious vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.
Unnamed hills.
Zhu Di sat on the horseback, looked up at the Emei Moon in the sky, smiled at Ping An, Qu Neng and others: "In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai had a poem, 'When he became famous, he filled the imperial capital, and when he returned, he still made the Emei Moon. ', Now that it's Mount Emei again, isn't it time for us to make a name for ourselves?"
Ping An grinned, looked at the crescent moon, and echoed: "Then let's see whose sword is faster and come out on top!"
Qu Neng drove his horse forward and refused to give in: "Military achievements are rare. Since we are out of seclusion once, what can we do if we don't make enough money? I hope you all can work together to kill all the barbarians and find a prince!"
Chen Hua's eyes heated up, he bent down, grabbed the spear hanging next to the saddle, straightened his body with peace of mind, and said: "A hero is a hero who sheds blood on the battlefield, and a husband is a husband who is wrapped in horse leather! If you don't want to be spurned by others, then fight for it. !”
Zhu Di looked at the high-spirited soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, unfolded the riding whip in his hand, and said: "Kill the enemy and serve the country now!"
The horses jumped down, and more than five thousand cavalry followed.
After rushing out for more than ten miles, I saw the patrol sentry lying dead on the ground, either shot with a crossbow, stabbed with a dart, or directly pierced through the chest with a sharp blade.
Qu Neng looked at Ping An and said, "Is this the concealment technique you call?"
Ping An laughed loudly and looked proudly at the creeping turf in the distance. Figures emerged one after another. He tilted his head and said: "What is this? I heard that there is a special assessment project in the Beijing Army. It is called disguise. Even the command History, thousands of households, hundreds of households, all have to go to the Imperial College to study. King Yan once said that the person with the strongest disguise in the Beijing army is undoubtedly the headquarters of the Security Bureau. He is as good as a stone and as a tree as a tree. Standing next to you, he is not aware of it! "
Qu Neng shivered.
This disguise is too outrageous. Think about it, I am admiring some trees, and there is someone admiring me inside. If someone stretches out his hand, wouldn't it be such a short distance...
"On the grassland, you only need to wear a turf jacket and lie down on the ground. No one can see you at a glance. In the end, you still have an advantage."
Chen Hui shouted.
Ping An nodded repeatedly. This is true. No matter whether the grassland is green or yellow, as long as the sergeant is wearing the same color of grass clothes, no one can tell the difference from a distance. Unless he is very close, but if he is close, where will they be? A way to survive...
Zhu Di glanced at the corpse on the ground and the three broken arrows in the distance, and said: "We still didn't do a good job. There were obviously missed shots. If someone escaped and reported the news, we wouldn't be able to make a surprise attack. This is If you want to be in the capital, you don't even have the qualifications to join the scouts."
"Scout, what is that?"
Ping An asked

road.
Zhu Di looked into the distance and said: "It is a unit of arms set up by the emperor himself. Let me call them scouts, but scouts are far stronger than ordinary scouts. One scout can defeat twenty scouts."
"No way?"
Chen Hui was a little shocked.
You must know that scouts are also very powerful in the Ming army. The tasks of these people are not only to detect the enemy's situation, but also to find out all kinds of information, such as where there is water and grass, where is suitable for camping, where is suitable for ambushes, and sometimes they even serve as engineers. , Make roads when encountering mountains, and build bridges when encountering water.
Solving enemy outposts and assassinating the opponent's leader are also the main tasks of scouts. However, such opportunities are often rare, the execution is too difficult, and there are too few successful cases.
But no one can deny the combat effectiveness of the scouts. This group of people is flexible and has strong endurance. They are good at running, riding and shooting.
Chen Hui didn't believe it when he said that one scout could defeat twenty scouts.
The corner of Zhu Di's mouth moved slightly, a gust of wind blew over, and he didn't bother to explain.
As early as when the third battalion was training in the capital, Zhu Yunwen used the Security Bureau as a scout and asked Zhu Di to choose two hundred scouts and then throw them into the dense forest to see the results.
The result horrified Zhu Di. In just five days, two hundred scouts were all marked as dead, and only ten scouts came out of the forest!
According to Zhu Yunwen, scouts need to be transformed into scouts. They not only need to achieve the ultimate disguise and learn the silent killing technique of killing with one hit, but also need to master knowledge, such as under which light, where is the safest place to hide, such as drawing a map. , such as understanding the characteristics of plants and animals, such as having the patience to become a stone and remain motionless...
Zhu Di didn't know how many scouts there were in the capital now, but when he left the capital, there were only 500 of them. Of course, he didn't count the perverts outside the Security Bureau's establishment.
Although the sergeants in Peiping are not as good as the scouts in the capital, this is a grassland after all, and it is not difficult to camouflage and hunt.
The road is open.
Zhu Di led the army through the patrol area that Arutai and others thought was impossible, and approached Hulun Lake. Looking at the quiet camp in the distance, he galloped his horse.
Mongolian camps are often not as strong and dense as those of the Ming army. They are similar to larger and higher fences. Such camps are easy to enter and exit, easy to move and leave at any time, and save a lot of trouble of moving and settling. In addition, sometimes there is no place to stay. If there are no trees, we simply don’t build a camp. We just put the yurt outside and pull a few ropes, and it becomes a camp.
Such a camp could not withstand the attack of the cavalry.
Chen Hui and Qu Neng held up their spears and pierced the fence directly. With a sudden force, the fence nearly ten feet long was thrown away and the passage was opened. Then they took the lead and rushed into the yurt. At this time, the sky was illuminated by fire. Countless flaming arrows fell from the sky, fell into the yurts and piles of dry grass, and ignited into raging fires.
The Tatars soon realized that someone was hijacking the camp. Arutai quickly got up to check and saw that the southern camp was ablaze. He secretly gritted his teeth and shouted to Yesuntai and others who were coming over: "It must be the Ming army! If If we had not secretly moved the tent to the west, we would have been in a bitter battle!"
Yesuntai nodded repeatedly and ordered the troops to be gathered.
As a Tatar tribal leader, the location of his tents is often fixed. For example, all tents face north and south, the commander's tent is set to the south, to the north are the retinues and official offices, and to the east and west are the camps for ordinary sergeants.
Arutai was worried that the Ming army would rob the camp. Although he sent out patrols, he could not do everything, so he temporarily converted the tents. Unexpectedly, the worst situation finally occurred.
"It seems that there are only a few thousand cavalry. How dare these people come to rob our camp?"
After a brief moment of panic, Ma'er Haza looked at
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After understanding the battle situation in the distance, I couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Arutai's eyes flashed with murderous intent. After mounting his horse, he shouted: "King Ning only has more than 10,000 men. There should be 5,000 cavalry here. Needless to say, there are still 5,000 cavalry outside! We each lead 10,000 cavalry." , keep them here completely!”
Malhaza and Yesuntai quickly agreed, integrated their armies, and began to counterattack.
Zhu Di, Ping An, Qu Neng and others were all brave men who charged forward. They were by no means the kind of soldiers hiding in the rear. Under the surprise attack, the Tatar army was powerless to parry and suffered huge damage from the beginning.
However, because the Tatar camp was very large and Zhu Di led too few people, he only charged three miles before encountering waves of Tatar cavalry, and the enemy began to react.
"withdraw!"
Zhu Di looked at the distance. The Tatar army formation began to become thicker, and a large number of cavalry appeared on the left and right wings. If they did not leave, these five thousand people would be dumped.
The sound of ringing gold sounded. After Zhu Di killed several people, he led Ping'an, Qu Neng and others and retreated from the south.
Seeing this, Arutai, Yesuntai and others had no intention of letting go of the Ming army. More than 30,000 cavalry followed and chased them. With bows and arrows flying, they shot and killed dozens of Ming army cavalry who fell behind. When they passed by, they saw Before the person is completely dead, he will be given another stab.
Zhu Di ran eastward with firm eyes. When passing a low hill, the cavalry made a half circle, then went up the hill and charged towards Arutai and Yesuntai.
Arutai, Yesuntai and others were surprised by the opponent's courage. Five thousand cavalry dared to face 30,000 Tatar elites and attack head-on!
"kill!"
Loud shouts of killing rushed out from behind the hills on both wings, and in conjunction with Zhu Di's army, a pattern of attacking the Tatars on three sides was formed.
Arutai had already expected this, and immediately ordered Yesuntai and Ma'erhaza to lead their troops to protect the left and right wings, while he led his elite troops straight towards Zhu Di.
"kill!"
Zhu Di waved his saber, leaped on his horse and charged to kill him. Wherever the saber struck, the man fell on his back!
Seeing that their commander was so brave, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army fought hard to the death. Although their numbers were far smaller than that of the Tatar army, they fought with all their might, with the light of swords and the shadows of guns, under the cold stars and moon, in a vast sea. On the small grassland, a life-and-death battle began.
Ping An, Qu Neng and Chen Hui did not give in, and they fought until their clothes were stained with blood.
Although the Ming army fought bravely, after all, overall, the strength and number of the cavalry were quite different from those of the Tatars. After a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Ming army's casualties began to increase.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Zhu Di issued a military order: "Retreat!"
After killing a group of Tatar soldiers, the remaining Ming cavalry began to flee eastward.
How could Arutai miss this opportunity? Now that he is here, he should leave his life behind.
Chase!
The Tatar cavalry pursued, and Ming cavalry were constantly shot and killed, and they were overtaken and hacked to death. Their morale was like a rainbow, and there was thunder.
"Prince Ning is nothing more than that!"
Arutai thought that the person coming was King Ning. Seeing that the opponent was retreating, he shouted to Yesuntai.
Yesuntai laughed loudly and said: "If we can keep him here, we can discuss the pastoral rights in Daning! I believe the Ming court will not refuse to exchange a vassal king for a territory."
Arutai waved his riding whip and shouted: "Whoever captures King Ning alive will be rewarded!"
After the Tatar cavalry heard this, they immediately became excited and their horses were driven to the extreme.
Zhu Di listened to the shouts coming from behind, and there seemed to be slogans of "Capture King Ning alive", so he shouted depressedly: "I am King Yan!"
Ping An wants to laugh but dare not laugh. We can't leave Zhu Di down to explain his identity to Arutai. The enemy is too tight. It's better to save your life first. Run away...
