It was clearly a Tatar tactic to deter our troops from advancing.

He angrily ordered: "Order the troops, one man and two horses, catch up and kill the Tartars!" ”

"No!" His son Zu Kefa hurriedly stopped: "Our army marches along the main road according to the art of war, and it is invincible, if our department changes temporarily, it will affect the deployment of friendly forces, and the Tartars just want to provoke us and profit from it!" ”

Zukefa was also annoyed, but he knew better that as long as he took every step of the way and did not give the Tartars a chance, the credit would be within reach.

Zu Dashou's troops are the forward, there are more cavalry, and the whole Ming army has fewer cavalry, Zu Dashou's cavalry troops in addition to opening the way forward, but also have the task of supporting the rear troops, after all, they run fast on four legs.

If the forward detachment from the brigade would result in the rear troops being in danger of being attacked by the enemy's cavalry.

The generals have the right to specialize, that is, they may not be under the command of the commander to attack, but at least they have to see the rabbit before they scatter the eagle, and now there is no trace of the enemy on the road ahead, it is not a good thing to rush forward rashly.

Zu Dashou calmed down and rode a fast horse to inform Gan Hui.

In a short time, a small group of cavalry, one person and three horses, rushed to the Zu Dashou army, three of the cavalrymen, but wearing Qing army uniforms, are indeed the former Qing army, the former surrender of the Tartar soldiers, the current leading party, they were ordered to go to the Tartar brigade to negotiate with them.

Zu Dashou looked at Gan Hui's instructions and told him to count all the way, and how many people died in the future Hanmin would be killed twice!

The three leading parties, fast horses caught up with the rear of the Qing army, and soon saw Man Dahai, who saw three people in military uniforms coming, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Ming army came from there, saying that they brought a letter from Gan Hui, the general of the Ming army." Someone said.

Man Dahai narrowed his eyes, looked at the three pale former Qing soldiers, the first small soldier, reached out and took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

"We were captured, the Ming army attacked the Jingshi, it came too fast, the commanders were dead, we couldn't resist......" the soldier explained.

Man Dahai opened the letter and said: "Gan Hui, the former governor of the Ming Dynasty, sent a letter to the commander of the Qing army: The two armies are fighting, not killing the envoys, not hurting the innocent people, not killing the prisoners, it is the virtue of the general!" There are no eyes on the battlefield, each has its own destiny, and there is no reason for life and death! However, if your army kills innocent people indiscriminately, then our army will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, except for those who enter the eighth point will not be pardoned, and those who capture your soldiers and people in the future will be killed twice as many innocent people and our captives. ”

Man Dahai sneered: "Ming people dare to intimidate this king!" ”

The little soldier said timidly: "They said that they did what they said, and now they have eight hundred and seven people, and they will kill us one thousand six hundred and fourteen people in the future!" ”

The atmosphere calmed down all at once!

They don't necessarily take it seriously what the Tartars say, but as soon as the precise numbers came out, it showed the determination of the Ming army, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to be so accurate!

Feeling the pressure, Man Dahai didn't say anything with a gloomy face, and ordered the three small soldiers to be escorted up, let them join the army, they must not say anything, and the first batch of enemies will be sent to them in the future!

……

The Ming army continued to march and found that there were not many dead people on the road, and even found some abandoned people who were not dead.

Tartar cowardly!

Zu Dashou let out a long breath, I haven't seen such a thing for many years!

You must know that the Tatars are ferocious, treat the Han people as pigs and dogs, kill them whenever they want, and when they take into account the thoughts of the Han people, even if the Han army is on the side, they dare to storm and kill the Han people.

Unexpectedly, Gan Hui wrote a letter lightly, and the Tatars who were about to die were so frightened that they obeyed discipline!

You'll have to be more ruthless and fierce than they are with the Tartars!

"The leader of God descended, it is God blessing the Ming! God bless my people! "Zu Dashou increased the amount with his hands, rejoicing for himself and the country.

Otherwise, once they become slaves of the country, everyone will have to put on the ugly pigtail braids and put on the ugly horse coats, which is as free as they are now, and they can keep any hairstyle and wear whatever they want.

All the way forward, the Ming army passed Tashan, Daxingbao, Xingshan, and stationed in Jinzhou!

The road is calm, and there is no trace of the enemy.

After a short rest in Jinzhou and continuing to advance, they entered Songshan, Youtun, and Dalinghe Fort.

At this point, since the governor Yuan Chonghuan established the Ming Ning Yuanjin defense line, after which it has been continuously lost and retreated, and now all of them have been recaptured by the Ming army and rebuilt the situation!

The troops were miraculously full, and they did not have time to reluctantly, and marched northward, trying to retake Shenyang before winter, and driving the Tatars out into the wilderness to blow the wind and eat the snow!

It is already obvious that the Tartars are playing the trick of luring the enemy into the depths, the road to Shenyang is very long, and the Tartars still have space. They are now trading space for time, space for strength.

The deeper the Ming army entered, the longer the supply line; The more land occupied, the more dispersed the forces will naturally be, and there will be opportunities to take advantage of.

Although the officers constantly emphasized the need to strengthen vigilance, as time went by, they shouted that the wolf was coming, and they never saw the wolf coming, and the taut strings could not help but relax, and they immediately received a lesson in blood.

In the second week of the army's departure from Shanhaiguan, the troops left Dalinghe Fort for only one day, and in the evening, when Zu Dashou was busy dealing with the affairs of the troops setting up camp, he heard a rapid whistle, indicating that he was engaged with the enemy.

When Zu Dashou arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over, and on the grass of a small river on the right side of the camp, there were seven or eight corpses lying on the ground and five or six Ming soldiers lying in a pool of blood and moaning in pain.

Only the corpse of a Tartar soldier was left at the scene, which had been cut into a blur of flesh by the Ming army to vent their anger, and there was a mess of horseshoe prints.

The situation is obvious, Zu Dashou, who fought the old war, knows what is going on with his ass.

The Tartar cavalry set up an ambush and launched a surprise attack on the Imperial soldiers who had come to the river to fetch water.

Water sources are destroyed when the walls are cleared, wells are hidden or thrown into dead manure for undrinkable use, and defenders ambush them at the river.

These water-fetching soldiers were educated, but they were careless!

However, the officers and soldiers in charge of the rescue were highly vigilant and came very quickly and conscientiously, so that the Tartars did not have time to clear the field, otherwise those wounded soldiers would have died.

After the Great Linghe Fort, it was as if the Tartar soldiers had woken up overnight, and they began to frantically harass and ambush!

They were divided into small teams, as many as 100 people and as few as 10 people, and they came at high speed on horseback, coming like a shadow and going like the wind, and using the guerrilla tactics of fighting if they could beat and running if they could not be beaten to carry out sneak attacks.

is not greedy for merit, runs when he hits, and does not let the horsepower get tired, and there is an ambush, so that Zu Dashou, who prepared two horses to pursue the Tartar soldiers, did not dare to invest his troops easily.

His troops are okay, at least they have more cavalry, and the Tartars have some scruples, while the infantry units and baggage troops behind are full of attacks, and the Tartars are as hateful as flies, so that the Ming army from the Dabao River Fort to the Qiantun, warning everywhere, as if there are beacons everywhere!
