In the second year of Chongzhen, September 16, the sky was not yet dawn.

Wang Zezhi's army moved.

30,000 elites, wrapped in horses' hooves, with a mask on the horse's face, without lighting torches, with those who can see at night as the vanguard, quietly moving forward on the grassland.

When they were halfway there, the sentry sent by Xiao Liuzi ran back one after another.

At the time of the surprise attack of the whole army, the sentinels suddenly retreated, presumably in a very urgent situation.

The sentries came to Xiao Liuzi's horse, presented the information they had collected, and dictated it carefully.

After a while, Xiao Liuzi came to Wang Zezhi with the information, lit the torch, and gave Wang Zezhi a light so that Wang Zezhi could see the content of the information clearly.

"Sonomu is indeed very powerful, he actually knew that we were going to raid, and he had gathered more than 10,000 warriors to ambush us."

Wang Zezhi put down the information, spread out the map and looked at it.

"According to the sentry detectives, Sonomu arranged 1,000 light horsemen in the middle reaches of the Huang River, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses hid in Hanha, northeast of the Huang River, and the two places were more than 100 miles apart.

The most important thing is that further northeast from this place is the Great Khing'an Mountains, where the roads are rugged and not conducive to cavalry combat.

If Sonomu first uses a small group of soldiers and horses as bait, and then besieges with most of them, and horses are combined, I am afraid that our department will have to go and have no return.

The clansmen of the Sonomu tribe have been led by the cavalry of the Jin people to the east and go to Huang Taiji overnight. ”

Sonomu is really powerful, and when Xiao Liuzi's sentinel blocked the information, he still discovered most of Wang Zezhi's soldiers and horses.

Sonomu not only discovered Wang Zezhi's soldiers and horses, but also quickly made corresponding deployments and thought of counterattack tactics.

None of the leaders who were able to gain a foothold on the steppes were vegetarians.

"Judging from the current situation, should we suspend the march, first find out the enemy's situation, reformulate tactics, and wait for dawn before continuing the march." Yang Guo thought for a while and suggested.

"The intelligence on the battlefield is changing rapidly, not to mention that most of the enemy's soldiers and horses are hundreds of miles away, and when we receive the information, the daylilies are cold." Xiao Liuzi objected.

No one knows better than Xiao Liuzi how quickly intelligence changes on the battlefield.

"Yang Guo, send 3,000 light cavalry from your command as the vanguard, attack first, do not seek to annihilate the enemy army, retreat immediately after the battle, let alone pursue."

"Order."

The role of the vanguard is to test the enemy's situation and disrupt it.

Now that Sonomu is prepared, Wang Zezhi can't raid, he can only follow the regular way of playing, first try and then attack.

Yang Guo received the order and selected three companies of light cavalry from his command as the vanguard, and attacked first.

"Pass on the whole army, target Hanha, with light cavalry as the vanguard, steel-armored heavy cavalry as the middle army, and artillery as the backup, steadily pursue, and approach the Hanha Sonomu battalion."

"Order."

The pioneer company under the command of Yang Guo did not advance long before encountering the lure arranged by Sonomu.

The three companies of the Pioneer Company took out their monoculars, looked at them, and sure enough, they were just as the sentry said.

From the opponent's array, it can be estimated that they have more than 3,000 horsemen.

"Ride and shoot!" The three company commanders drew their sabers and ordered.

"Xiu Xiu Xiu~" There is no blood boiling, there is no shouting to kill the sky, there are cold silent arrows.

Countless arrows rained down from the sky and shot into the enemy's ranks.

The array of more than 3,000 lure soldiers was in chaos in an instant, and they shouted and turned their horses' heads and retreated towards Hanha.

"Chase after Lao Tzu and kill me!" One of the three company commanders, the kidnapper chased reluctantly and planned to pursue.

"You're crazy, your lord has an order, don't pursue." Another company commander, Shen Goudan chased down and pulled the crutch who was going to pursue.

"Get out!" Since the kidnapper knew that Leng Yan was an undercover agent, the whole person became a lot more irritable.

"Do you know what it means to disobey military orders? That's no different from betrayal. Shen Goudan knew that it was useless to say anything to the abductor at such a time, only to stimulate him was useful.

Sure enough, when he said that disobeying military orders was the same as betrayal, the kidnapper immediately turned red-eyed.

Leng Face, Kidnapper and Shen Goudan were promoted to Lian Zong at the same time, and the relationship between the three of them was also the best.

When he knew that Leng Face was sent by the imperial court to spy on them, the kidnappers felt that Leng Face had betrayed them.

In addition, after the cold face was caught, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the kidnapper's temper was getting bigger and bigger day by day.

"Hmph, you're a traitor, your whole family is a traitor." The kidnapper snorted coldly and ordered his soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield and wait for the large army to follow.

Another of the three company commanders frowned and glanced at the crutch, and also cleaned up the battlefield.

The last company commander was originally a sentry under Xiao Liuzi, and he was promoted because he had made enough military achievements.

He's the big boss.

The general manager of Lian promoted by Wang Zezhi will not arrange it on the spot, but will arrange it crosswise, so as to prevent them from forming gangs.

The soldiers under the commander-in-chief of each company will also be mobilized at any time, and they are not immutable, including the soldiers under the platoon commander.

The only thing that has not changed is the soldiers under the hands of each squad commander, but the authority in the hands of the squad commander is the bottom, and the people they manage are also the least, that is, they form gangs and factions, at most, ten people can't become a climate.

As for the battalion commander, it is an appointment system, only if Wang Zezhi appoints, they will have soldiers under them, if Wang Zezhi is not appointed, they are a vacant position, and they can only stay at home to support the elderly.

This is also the reason why Xiao Liuzi's subordinates will become Yang Guo's subordinates.

From the moment he received the order to be a pioneer, he felt the hostility and rejection of the abductors.

Although he didn't understand why this was the case, he still abided by the rules in the army and didn't cause trouble.

He doesn't mess with kidnappers not to say that he's afraid of kidnappers, but that he doesn't want to bully people.

For him, who has been a bandit, he has never been afraid of anyone in a desperate fight.

"Don't mind, he's like this, he's lost his daughter-in-law, and after this daughter-in-law lost his son, he became like this."

After hearing the gossip that Shen Goudan told him, the big boss stared at the figure of the kidnapper strangely and was speechless for a long time.

No one knows better than him how good a daughter-in-law is.

When it comes to his daughter-in-law, he thinks of his own woman.

The woman had been rescued by him from the Tartars, and since he had been rescued he had not seen her for more than two months because of his mission.

Later, when they finally settled down, the two of them worked hard and made firewood, and they no longer took into account those prejudices in the world, and came together.

A few days before this expedition, his daughter-in-law vomited everything she ate, vomited from morning to night, vomited all the bitter water, vomited vomit in her nose and eyes, and he was so frightened that he immediately called Lang Zhonglai.

When Lang Zhong arrived, his daughter-in-law threw up a headache and rolled on the bed with her head in her arms.

He was so frightened that he thought that his daughter-in-law had some incurable disease, but as a result, Lang Zhong reported good news to him.

Lang Zhong told him that his daughter-in-law was happy, and the reason why she had a headache was because she bent over and vomited too much, and if she wanted to improve the situation, she would climb on the kang and vomit, which would be slightly better.

A pregnant woman generally vomits for more than four months, and the situation will be fine after these four months.

The big boss listened to Lang Zhong's words, hugged him happily, and the woman turned around, and his old Cui family finally had a future.

The big boss's surname is Cui, called Cui Chengxiang, a very delicate and auspicious name.

This name does not match his appearance at all, which is why he is reluctant to tell others his real name.

He prefers to be called the big boss.

Thinking of this, the big boss was worried about his daughter-in-law again, and he didn't know if his daughter-in-law was so bad.

He took a deep breath, looked at the crutch in the distance, and suddenly felt pity for the crutch.
