"Happy!" Li Hongji shouted, brandishing a saber in his hand, and kept chasing and killing a few Mongolian sentinels, seeing that the other party's horse was good, and gradually disengaged, he rode his horse to stop, grabbed the hanging short fire gun from the saddle, aimed at one or two, and slammed the trigger.

However, the Mongolian sentry who was only a dozen meters away fell in response to the sound and fell to the ground, which was the fifth sentry he had killed.

"The company commander is mighty!"

"Good marksmanship!"

"The fifth!"

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company he led praised one after another. Compared with some unknown people in history, these historical figures who are already capable and famous, as soon as they join the army, they immediately show their outstanding features, either they are strong, or they are not strong, or they are talented in the military formation.

His promotion speed is also fast, such as Li Hongji, he stayed when he formed the Xiao Cavalry Army, and then became a second lieutenant company commander, and his nephew Li Guo served as a deputy company commander under him.

"The sentry is from over there, go, chase after it." Li Hongji greeted and roared away with more than a dozen of his subordinates, and on the way he kept encountering the soldiers under his command, and then gradually converged, and in a short time, the whole company of more than 150 good men and horses gathered together, moving towards the front non-stop.

There are many people like Li Hongji, such as Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Mao Wenlong, etc., they galloped all the way, scattered with men and horses, and each company was in charge of a place, covering a place for dozens of miles, so that the direction of Lin Dan Khan could not figure out the specific location of their main army.

"Brothers, we must take the lead this time, this time the enemy can't all be ceded to Yulin and Xiaoliu, it's time for our cavalry to exert their might!" Li Tu stood on the horse with his legs and shouted loudly, as the starting team, he also had kung fu, and Yu Zhigao and Qi Jin Zhenchuan were passed on.

The sound spread far away as he exerted his strength, reaching everyone's ears. This is the main assembly place of the hussars and the Xiao cavalry, among the two armies, the most elite, the most experienced in actual combat, the strongest combat skills are here, a full 50,000 elite soldiers, is the guarantee of Zhang Shize and Li Tu's attack.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao just let them serve as pioneers, pave the way for the mountains, and explore the enemy's situation, but Li Tu and Zhang Shize didn't think so. In the last war, it can be said that only the Hussars were ordered to intercept the Jurchens, and the Xiao Cavalry Army was not formed, and the entire field army only had 15,000 cavalry, which was naturally not the opponent of the 100,000 cavalry under Lin Dan Khan, and the burden of the main force of the battle was on the head of the infantry.

But this time it was different, the hussars experienced the baptism of the Jurchen bloody battle, the Xiao cavalry army was formed and trained for a year, and experienced the harassment in the winter wind and snow, the two cavalry armies have been trained a lot, plus the already luxurious configuration, the two armies have strong combat effectiveness at the moment.

As a result, this gave the two cavalry generals an impulse to rely on 100,000 cavalry to annihilate Lin Dan Khan!

It's not impossible!

You must know that Lin Dan Khan's situation at the moment is not good, he was driven out of the Chahar station, suffered heavy losses, and fought again with his supporters and the right-wing Mongols, and the already weak right-wing Mongols weakened even more.

He is known as an army of 200,000 at the moment, but he is all gathered in the green form of the tribe, most of them were originally just herdsmen, and at this moment he was issued a knife and was incorporated into the army, and went to the battlefield, and I don't know if there are 50,000 real elite soldiers in it. Otherwise, it could not be encircled for a month, and the 200,000 army could not even block Zhang Shize's 50,000 horses.

Gotta get it!

The horseshoe of the horse flew on all fours, trampling on the snow-white grass, and from time to time stepping on the hidden stones, making a sonorous and sharp sound.

Li Hongji rode a horse and led his men all the way away, on the way, they often encountered wandering Mongolian sentinels, and like their mission, the other party was also trying their best to find the enemy's main force, and at the same time to cover the battlefield.

In the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, the battlefield is usually fought in dozens of miles, divided into several different places, and the commanders of both sides do not have clairvoyance, so naturally if they want to grasp the battle situation, they can only rely on the reconnaissance of these probes.

Whoever can find the opponent's main force first, and then raid and defeat it, will have the upper hand in the battle. Lin Dan Khan is not a fool, with the lesson of the last time, how could he still welcome Zhu Youxiao's arrival under the city wall, at this moment, his army also began to dodge, assemble, hide himself, and wait for the opportunity.

And Li Hongji's purpose is to torture the arrested sentinels through clues, so as to determine the location of Lin Dan Khan's main force.

"How's it going, did you ask about it?" In a leeward place, Li Hongji and his reconnaissance company began to light a bonfire and surround it for warmth. It's winter, and it's really cold to run outside.

However, they are still good, at least there is cotton armor under the iron armor, the warmth is good, and there is a red wool cloak on the body, but the Mongolian Tanma is not so well treated, and there is a sheepskin jacket on the body, although it is warm, but it can't stand the wind and snow, and it is soaked inside.

"Didn't get anything." Li Guo shook his head, "The other party has been out for a long time, and I don't know where Lin Danhan's main force has gone now." ”

"Damn, if you can't touch your tail again, do you really have to wait for that infantry to come and attack the city?" Li Hongji cursed, but he knew that he was holding back the fire and wanted to get the first skill, but now these guys on the front line can't even touch the enemy's tail, so how can he get the first skill.

Unlike infantry, cavalry did not have much siege capacity, and although Guihua City was only equivalent to a county town in the interior, it was not something they could take.

"Let's rest tonight, and tomorrow I'll go around the area of Naturalization City and see if I can catch a few tongues." Li Guo proposed.

"That's all there is to it." Li Hongji sighed, then slept with his horse and clothes. The whole camp was silent, and everyone was like this, snuggling up to their horses, keeping warm by the heat of the animals, while the soldiers of the night watch, stirring up the bonfire and keeping it from being extinguished, drying some soaked clothes.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the whole company got up, drank some hot water, stuffed a handful of fried noodles, and then turned over and headed forward.

On the vast grassland, there is a green city, behind which is covered with snow-covered green mountains, and the scenery here is so beautiful when viewed from a distance.

It's just that Li Hongji and his entourage don't have such aesthetics, they just wander around, check all kinds of traces, catch some herdsmen grazing, and ask questions.

"Company commander, what are you looking at?" Li Guo saw Li Hongji squinting into the distance and asked very curiously.

"Look at the foot of the hill over there." Li Hongji pointed to a little shaky white in the distance. "It's not a herdsman."

Following the other party's fingers, Li Guo looked over, his eyes narrowed slightly, condensed his eyes, and looked at it for a long time, "It's really a flock of sheep, it's the herdsmen who are moving." ”

The grassland is vast, and the field of vision is quite far, so you can see anything far away. Just like the flock of sheep they are looking at at the moment, they can see clearly from this position, and the number should be in the thousands.

"Look at the mountain behind the sheep, is there a pillar of smoke there?" Li Hongji pointed again.

"Really." Li Guo took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle, you are so powerful, you can find this." ”

"Haha, it's a good weather today, there isn't so much wind and snow, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it." Li Hongji modestly said, "Let's go, go to the mountains and have a look, I don't know if Lin Dan Khan's main force is there." ”

Naturalization City is backed by Daqing Mountain, and the mountain range is long, so it is no problem to find a valley in it and hide more than ten or two hundred thousand people. When the enemy attacked Guihua City with all his might, he suddenly attacked, made a detour and attacked from behind, and he could win a big victory.

From the location of the camp, we can see some of Lin Dan Khan's strategic arrangements.

Li Hongji's more than 100 people are nothing in the grassland, and when they drill into the hills, they can't see anything at all, but the mountains in winter, the roads are slippery, and it is not easy to walk at all, and after walking for a day and a night, they have just approached the position of the herdsmen at the foot of the mountain.

"Wait." Li Hongji grabbed the soldiers who were in front of him, and several people leaned down and hid.

In front, it was a few Mongolian soldiers leading the horses, scolding and walking, their mouths were grunting, and Li Hongji couldn't understand it, but fortunately, many of the cavalry soldiers were slaves and could understand Mongolian, and some soldiers immediately translated it.

"They said that there was no need to patrol in broad daylight, and it was all the leaders who deliberately found fault and tossed them."

"Okay, keep up." Li Hongji's face was full of excitement. In order to hide in the mountains, the entire company was broken into pieces, and several people worked in groups, slowly advancing.

A few people cautiously, hiding their figures, followed behind the scolding Mongols, it was already noon, obviously they had been out for a long time, and after sparing a circle inside, they walked back.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Li Hongji's eyes suddenly opened up, and below the hillside, there was a huge camp, people shouting horses and neighing, herds of cattle and sheep, and a cursory look, there were at least 50,000 or 60,000 people here.

Obviously, this was a gathering place for Mongol soldiers and horses, and was part of Lin Dan Khan's claimed army of 200,000.

"This is it." Li Hongji shouted in a low voice excitedly. Although this is only a part of it, under the surprise attack of the army, there will definitely be reinforcements from other places, so to lure the snake out of the cave, Lin Dan Khan's main force will definitely not be able to hide.

However, what was very happy and sad was that Li Hongji unconsciously used force under his feet, and a piece of gravel was trampled down by him, making a loud noise, which attracted the attention of the Mongolian soldiers who had just gone down in front, and when they looked back, they happened to see the heads of several unfamiliar hair ornaments on the mountain beams.

Several Mongolian soldiers froze for a moment, their brains turned, and they asked each other suspiciously, "Da Ming?" ”

Immediately, they realized that it was not good, this must be the sentinels of the Ming Dynasty, and they all came here, "Enemy attack, enemy attack." Regardless of it, they shouted.

"Not good, run."

Li Hongji shouted and ran away with his men, there are tens of thousands of cavalry here, and he can't stuff his teeth enough.

Next, it's a wonderful celebration of the chase.
