Chapter 204: Encounter
There is no industrial pollution in the Ming Dynasty, the air seems to be exuding a hint of sweetness, the sky is so blue, the white clouds are so white, and the clouds of different shapes are floating in the sky at will.
On the side of a straight road, the withered yellow weeds fluttered in the spring breeze, and a little green seemed to be visible through the gaps in the weeds.
Out of sight, a patch of red appeared. As the distance got closer and closer, flags were also reflected in the eyes, the sound of horses' hooves and human voices also came one after another, and the frightened birds in the distance also fluttered their wings in the panic and flew into the distance.
These people are none other than Dai Shan, who came out of Shengjing. After seven or eight days of travel, it was more than 500 kilometers away from Shengjing at this time. Such a distance seems a little unbelievable to Houjin, who is mainly cavalry.
"Master, according to the report of our scouts, they have found the scouts of the Ming army sixty kilometers away, and there are casualties on both sides, and neither can take the other."
Dai Shan seemed a little surprised when he heard the report of his subordinates, and his two thick black eyebrows couldn't help but tremble.
"I didn't expect Zu Dashou to be quite bold and dare to go deep into the interior of Liaodong."
According to his own ideas, Zu Dashou will advance 100 kilometers at most, and he will set up camp there, and he will never dare to go deep into three or four hundred kilometers like now, but this time it was unexpected.
"Master, should we speed up the march?"
These days, the entire army has slowed down due to Daizen's orders. If it had been released, this short 500 kilometers would have been a one-day and one-night journey for the cavalry, and now it would have taken seven or eight days.
"No, just move at the current pace. By the way, when another cattle road is dispatched, patrol along the four sides of the army to prevent the Ming army from raiding. ”
Dai Shan smiled at his subordinates with a warm smile, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I really thought that by sending me out by stratagem, I would be able to weaken my army."
Three days later, whether Dai Shan wanted it or not, he finally collided with Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou, who was dressed in armor, accompanied by several thousand generals, went to a high ground to look into the distance, and looked down at the Houjin camp that had been encamped below.
Zu Dashou, who had already received information from the scouts, knew that the leader on the opposite side was the famous Great Belle Daishan of Houjin.
Looking at the size of the large camp below, there were at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Zu Dashou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
My family knows about my family, although I have brought an army of thirty or forty thousand people this time, but the combat effectiveness of these people makes it okay for them to bully some ordinary people, and it seems a little unrealistic to fight with such a fierce Jiannu.
Especially the other party is still Houjin's Dai Shan, this person is not a master to mess with. Back then, he followed Nurhachi to fight in the south and the north, and I don't know how many people died in the hands of Daishan. Now what the consequences will be when I meet him, no one knows.
After more than ten days of training, especially the battle with the Houjin scouts, Wu Sangui felt the cruelty of the war, and Wu Sangui, who had already taken off his childishness, looked at the camp below with excitement. However, seeing his uncle's solemn face, he could only suppress the joy in his heart, and his face gradually returned to normal.
"General, what do you mean by this? You must know that in the past, it was Jiannu who launched an attack on us, and when did Jiannu also start to set up camp, and even made the camp impossible, it seemed that they were waiting for our attack."
A thousand president on the side said with a puzzled face, Zu Dashou heard the words of this thousand president, and suddenly looked up at this thousand president.
"Mr. Li Qian, thank you for reminding me."
Looking at Li Yannian, who was still puzzled, Zu Dashou left with a smile.
I'm stuck in a dead end, and I always like to think about problems with the same way I used to think. Dai Shan is now encamped, obviously not wanting to launch an offensive rhythm. Since the other party doesn't want to fight anymore, why are you holding on.
The rest of the Qian generals were also confused, and when they saw that their general had left, they also followed quickly.
"Uncle, what happened to you just now."
Seeing that there was no one else in the big tent, Wu Sangui directly called Zu Dashou his uncle. Wu Sangui's approach can be regarded as maintaining the majesty of Zu Dashou's army, after all, if he directly calls Zu Dashou his uncle in front of outsiders, it will inevitably make him not want to have some ideas.
Seeing Wu Sangui asking about Zu Dashou, he was still very happy to explain to his nephew.
"Uncle, tell me why the Daishan Society set up camp, and even made the camp impenetrable."
"Isn't it normal for a large army to set up camp? Aren't we doing the same thing"?
Wu Sangui asked with a little doubt, it is common sense for the army to camp up, why did his uncle lead the troops all the year round to behave so abnormally.
"It's not your fault, uncle, you didn't know Jiannu's character when you first entered the battlefield.
As long as the enemy is found, it will be a fierce attack. Even if they were to set up camp, they would not make the camp so impermeable."
Only then did Wu Sangui react: "Could it be that the Jiannu on the other side has no intention of fighting us at all."
Zu Dashou nodded lightly, agreeing with Wu Sangui's statement, and at the same time there was some small excitement in his heart.
It was forced to lead the troops out of desperation, the purpose was to threaten the Houjin and make the Houjin high-level feel in danger, so that Huang Taiji, who had entered the Guan, would lead the troops to play as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the Guannei.
It indicates that the sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to survive. Now as long as the two sides face each other, such a good thing is like pie in the sky.
Zu Dashou was full of joy, but Wu Sangui was depressed. thought that he could fight with Dai Shan, but now he found that he could only stare at each other here, and Wu Sangui, who wanted to do a great job, really couldn't stand it.
Now Wu Sangui is full of enthusiasm, and he always wants to prove that he can do a great career even if he does not rely on the help of his father and uncle.
As a veteran of the unified army, Dai Shan naturally will not give up observing Zu Dashou's situation. After all, it is irresponsible to the army, especially since these centaurs are still the basis for their own survival.
Under the protection of a Niu Lu army, Dai Shan turned the entire camp of Zu Dashou in a circle, and finally returned to the front of the camp. It is the main gate of Zu Dashou's camp, and in the event of a war between the two sides in the future, it will be a main battlefield.
"Cut, this group of Ming dogs has a very strong ability to set up camp, they came half a day later than us, and they can still set up the camp so well."
One of the Jiala's words won the approval of everyone, and they let out a laugh. Dai Shan also looked at Zu Dashou's big shadow with a smile on his face, and he was making a plan in his heart.
A plan to prepare for a night attack.
Although he has always had the idea of preserving his strength, he has to fight more or less, so as not to be investigated by Huang Taiji in the future.
