"What's the situation?" Hao Jian looked at Ran Wu who was saddle and dismounted, and a cavalry archer stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates have found a large group of men and horses ten miles to the north!" The archer said in a deep voice.

This person is none other than a sentinel in the northern direction of the complex.

Ran Wu arranged four sentry spies in each direction, two from ten miles away and two from three miles, which could effectively alert the enemy.

"Tell me more." Hao Jian's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked.

He was now surrounded by more than thirty men, and most of them were light cavalry. If the other side is outnumbered, once the two sides meet, and there is a conflict, their side will definitely not be able to take advantage.

I just came to this world, and I don't have any friends except enemies, so I basically meet enemies.

It's only been two days since I crossed over, first I fought with the officers and soldiers, and yesterday I had a fight with the horse thieves, and now I don't know where a team of people came out, and I don't let people live?

Although Hao Jian is a bit of a fanatical warmonger, it doesn't mean that he is a reckless man who has no brains and only knows how to fight hard.

The battles that can be won can be fought, and the battles that must be fought must be fought. But there is no need to fight the battle, it is definitely the haze in the previous life.

So ask about the situation, if the enemy is really strong, then the only way is to slip away.

"The outpost of that team was far away, and the subordinates didn't dare to get too close for fear of disturbing the other party. But from a distance, there were about five or six hundred people on the other side, and most of them were ordinary people. The remaining 100 or so people, all on horseback, surrounded the people in front of them, left and right, and were slowly marching north. ”

The archers, cavalry sentries methodically replied.

"Five or six hundred? Commoners? When Hao Jian heard these two words, his brows suddenly furrowed.

There is something strange about this thing, what kind of army will lead the people forward? And looking at this formation, it is clearly the appearance of an escort, and it is definitely not an escort.

And to the north? This place has crossed the city of Datong, and the city of Datong is the northernmost city of the Ming Dynasty.

If you go further north, it will be the territory of the Manchu Tartars.

Could it be that these people are the Ming people who came to captivate the Manchu Tartar soldiers?

Although Hao Jian already knew that this was a paradoxical world, he also understood that the basic laws would not change.

From ancient times to the present, all the nomads adjacent to the Central Plains Dynasty will break into the border of the Central Plains Dynasty at every turn to burn and loot, burn down the Han people's villages, kill the men, and the rest of the people will all snatch back their tribes to become slaves, and even become military rations, commonly known as two-legged sheep!

The ferocity and barbarism of the Manchu Tartars were not inferior to those nomads in the past, and even surpassed.

This behavior in these barbarian peoples is called the Grass Valley.

It seems that this team is very likely to be the team of the Tartars who went south to fight the Grass Valley.

The blood in Hao Jian's heart suddenly boiled, his chest rose and fell, his snort was hissing, and he paced in a circle.

If it's really a Tartar, it's definitely a fierce battle.

The combat effectiveness of the Tatar soldiers was not weak in the early days, otherwise they would not have completely occupied Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty step by step.

And according to Liu Ji's analysis yesterday, the guards and officials of Datong City all wanted to escape, and they were obviously afraid of the Tartars.

Obviously, the combat effectiveness of the Tartars in this time and space is also not weak.

According to the sentry, the other side has about 100 horsemen, but there are only more than 30 horsemen on his side, and most of them are light cavalry.

And the archers are not good at close combat, so there are only more than twenty horsemen left who can be close combat.

According to his understanding from historical sources, most of the Tartar soldiers were good at horse archery, so if the two sides carried out, it would undoubtedly be a vicious battle with few enemies, and there was not much chance of victory.

Although the outcome of a battle is not entirely determined by the number of people, the number of people in such skirmishes is still the most important factor.

Hao Jian was pacing his steps, and his mind was thinking rapidly.

After he turned around a few times, he suddenly saw the big tree where the giant python was hiding just now, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had a plan in his heart and a bold idea.

"Ran Wu, you come here, do what I tell you." After thinking about it, Hao Jian suddenly became much more determined, handed over to Ran Wu and began to explain.

After the explanation, Ran Wu's eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Hao Jian more reverently, and he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

After Ran Wu finished arranging, Hao Jian explained to Liu Ji, arranged two knights to guard him, and waited in place with Bai Jinxiu's master and servant, while he took Ran Wu and twenty light cavalry to reconnoitre.

No matter how good a plan is, it must be based on detailed information, and Hao Jian can't feel at ease without taking a look at the battlefield situation with his own eyes.

Watching Hao Jian leave with the people, Liu Ji stroked his long beard thoughtfully, and muttered, "How will you fight this battle?" ”

The little maid Xiaowen pulled the placket of the young lady's clothes and said timidly: "Miss, are you going to fight again?" I don't know who it is this time? ”

Bai Jinxiu looked intently at Hao Jian's distant backs, and said in a deep voice, "It's very likely to be a tartar." ”

"Tartar?" Xiaowen lost her voice and covered her mouth in surprise.

In the legends of the people of the world, the Tartars are all blue-faced, fanged and bloody, eaters who do not spit out bones, and the Ming army only heard the wind and fled when they saw the Tartars.

The little girl had naturally heard of these rumors, so when she heard about it, she was instinctively scared, and she was worried about Hao Jian.

"Miss, the Tartars are so terrible, do you think Hao Gongzi will they be in danger?"

Bai Jinxiu glared at the little girl and said, "You are a Hao Gongzi now, do you really have someone else in your heart, and you plan to make a promise to each other?" ”

Xiaowen blushed and said, "Miss, what are you talking about, Hao Gongzi has a life-saving grace for us, and it is normal for me to worry about it." ”

"Hmph, people are small and big, I think you will be seduced away by this disciple sooner or later." Bai Jinxiu said angrily.

"Okay, Miss, I will always have you in my heart. I said that I would serve you for the rest of my life, so I will go wherever you are, Miss. ”

Xiaowen hurriedly smiled and took Bai Jinxiu's hand and comforted.

"You, you're really a big girl. But you don't have to worry too much, although this disciple is frivolous, there are always unexpected actions. And although this person looks prodigal and frivolous on the surface, I can't see through his background at all. Although the Tartars are fierce, if the two sides really meet, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. ”

Bai Jinxiu gently patted Xiaowen's head, and then said in a condensed voice.

"Miss said so, then Master Hao will definitely be auspicious." Xiaowen shook Miss's hand and said with a smile, as if she would believe whatever Miss said.
