The reconnaissance between the scout cavalry was carried out very intensely. The Ming army, which was really advancing towards Tieling, looked mighty. At this time, if Jiannu is killed without warning, the Ming army will definitely be chaotic, as for whether it can gain a firm foothold, that is a later story.

Sun Chengzong and the others tried to avoid such a situation, so the role of the scouts was to find out the location of the main force of Jiannu, so that the Ming army had enough time to react to the attack on Jiannu. In addition, before sending troops, careful planning was made on the route of the troops.

"The main force of Jiannu is usually hidden east of the official road to Tieling, which is a hilly area. If Jiannu wants to launch a counterattack when we march into Tieling, it is necessary to hide the main force in the hilly area on the east side, so that it is possible to launch a surprise attack on our army. So we don't take this official road, we go from the west, and it is a smooth road, and although there is no official road, there is enough time for early warning. Sun Chuanting drew a route on the map, which was to march from the west, about 30 miles from Shenyang to the hilly area east of the Tieling official road.

"Just go this route." Sun Chengzong agreed to this route of marching, and he and Sun Chuanting both understood that as long as they did not make mistakes at this time, Jiannu would not find any opportunity.

Now it is not the officers and soldiers of the towns who are in a hurry, but the wild boar skins.

After all, the strategic initiative is now in the hands of the Ming army, and once the Ming army advances to Tieling, the living space of Jiannu will be compressed to those areas that have not been developed by the Han people. At that time, with the productivity of Jiannu, it would be impossible for the wild boar skin to maintain such a large number of troops.

Because of this, it is the wild boar skin that is in a hurry.

Wild boar skin now has to be beaten, and if it is not beaten, it must be beaten. has been squeezed into a corner by the Ming army. It is possible to recover the decline after fighting. If you don't spell. There will be serious internal contradictions. Therefore, if the wild boar skin is shrewd enough, it will definitely go all out.

The mighty contingent of the Ming army marched on the field with a wide field of vision, and did not take the pipeline at all. At the same time, the Ming scouts also placed their main reconnaissance direction on the edge of the eastern hills. In other directions, the scouts were also released twenty miles.

The Ming scouts were basically equipped with telescopes, which were released in other directions at a distance of twenty miles, and could detect far away, once the wild boar skin raided the Ming army from other directions, the Ming army had enough time to arrange troops.

On the east side, there is a buffer distance of 30 miles. In addition, the Ming army scouts reconnoitred on the edge of the hills, which eliminated the possibility of a successful surprise attack by the main force of wild boar skin.

After the scouts were released, as expected, there were a lot of encounters with the Jiannu scouts on the edge of the hills on the east side. Although the specific location of the main force of Jiannu was not detected, it was already able to basically judge that the main force of Jiannu was hidden in the hilly area on the east side, like a poisonous snake, ready to launch a lightning-fast surprise attack on the Ming army at any time.

The main force of about 100,000 troops led by wild boar skins is indeed hidden in the eastern hilly area. That's all the Boar Skin can muster.

Despite the abandonment of the Liaohe Plain, wild boar skins gained additional advantages. That is, the number of troops that can be assembled has increased. If it weren't for the initiative to give up the territory of the Liaohe Plain, there would be too many directions for wild boar skin to guard. He simply could not shrink his forces, nor could he gather these 100,000 troops.

As long as he can defeat the Ming army's attack this time, then his Dajin Kingdom will be able to achieve a great counterattack, re-sweep the Liaohe Plain, and even impact the Ming army's Liaohe defense line and Taizihe defense line, and re-put Dajin Kingdom in a strategic initiative.

Thinking of this, the wild boar skin was very excited.

In the face of these Ming troops advancing towards Tieling, it was as if he had returned to the Battle of Salhu. And the Jiannu soldiers who followed the wild boar skin, as well as the generals, were all full of admiration and blind worship for the contemplative wild boar skin.

"The Great Khan started with seven pairs of armor, and Sarhu defeated more than 100,000 Ming troops with an army of 20,000. This time, the Ming army was only 200,000, while we had 100,000 troops. Can't you see who loses and who wins? ”

"As long as you follow this Great Khan, you can win."

There are constantly people who instill such ideas in the Jiannu soldiers, so that the morale of the Jiannu soldiers before the war is extremely high.

All were waiting for the order of the boar skin.

The boar skin was waiting, and he had been waiting for more than an hour. Finally, the Jiannu scouts who broke through the blockade of the Ming army scouts ran back covered in blood.

"Qi Great Khan, the Ming army did not march along the official road, but stepped out of a road nearly thirty miles west of the official road. These Ming troops marched very densely, and the distance between the front and back was about ten miles. The scout quickly reported.

Wild boar skin listened to the scout's report, and his affection suddenly tensed.

This was obviously a report that made him feel very regretful and disappointed, and the Ming army did not stupidly march close to the hills.

Wild Boar Skin decided to fight back, hoping that the coach of the Ming Army would make some brainless decisions, and then let him seize the opportunity. But such a hope was obviously ruthlessly disappointed, and the commander of the Ming army did not make a low-level mistake for him to grasp.

Of course, if you can't do it, you will have to do it again.

"Obey the blue flag." The wild boar's skin surface sank into the water, and he shouted loudly.

"Yes." Amin immediately stepped out of the queue and knelt half-on the ground to listen to orders. The wild boar skin ordered loudly: "The blue flag immediately launched an attack on the rear army of the Ming army." Failure is not allowed to win, and striving to mobilize the Ming army is like holding the nose of a livestock. ”

"Yes." Amin received the order and immediately turned around and went to order troops to fight.

The cavalry with the blue flag was soon dispatched, and the iron hooves trampled on the land with a rumbling sound, and the blue flag had been replenished at this time, and the number of cattle had increased to 35, with more than 10,000 troops.

Seeing that he couldn't find an opportunity in such an ambush, the wild boar skin simply took the initiative to attack, wanting to attract the Ming army to pursue through deception, so as to mobilize the Ming army.

Once the Ming army ran around in order to chase and kill the blue flag, it would inevitably reveal flaws, and when the time came, as long as one of the points was found as a breakthrough, the Ming army could be defeated.

Such a deception lures the enemy, and the boar skin makes it very smooth. When Shenyang was conquered at the beginning, it was used to lure the enemy to attract the Ming army in the city, so as to provide the foundation for the later capture of Shenyang.

As soon as the blue flag moved, the wild boar skin ordered additional scouts to cover the main force to advance westward, so as not to be detected by the Ming army. If the wild boar skin wants to fight, it is natural to get closer to the Ming army, otherwise even if the Ming army is mobilized, it will be difficult to grasp any opportunity.

The only good news is that the Ming scouts cannot form a crushing advantage in combat effectiveness, and as long as the wild boar skin sends more scouts, it can still block the Ming scouts from a certain distance.

Scout operations are obviously different from large-scale cavalry operations, and the Ming cavalry is useless against scout operations. The fight between scouts is more about martial arts, horsemanship, and equipment.

The scouts of the Ming army are indeed the elite of the army, and they are slightly inferior to Jiannu in terms of horsemanship, but there is not much difference, and the Ming army also has cavalry with good horsemanship. The Ming army scouts have a certain advantage over the Jiannu scouts in terms of equipment, and the Ming army scouts also have an advantage in martial arts, because the Ming army scouts are basically superb in martial arts.

However, the Ming scouts have one weakness, and that is long-range attacks. The cavalry and archery ability of the Ming scouts was uneven, and some of the scouts had a good level of salvo, and most of them were relatively bad. Because the cavalry of the Ming army used to use the three-eyed gun in the past, the range was relatively short.

In the process of the scouts on both sides attacking and killing each other, in general, the Ming army scouts had the advantage. Although Jiannu can ride and shoot, but the power of the bow and arrow on the horse is relatively bad, and the bow and arrow used by Jiannu itself is not a good bow, and the range is a little scummy, plus the Ming army scouts are equipped with steel armor, and Jiannu's cavalry is not too threatening to the Ming army scouts.

In a close horse attack, the advantage of the Ming army is even more obvious. In the attack and killing under horseback, the Ming scouts can produce a crushing advantage, but the Ming army that dismounts and fights on foot is much worse in mobility, and the threat to the Jiannu scouts is not too great.

The encounters between the scouts on both sides broke out extremely frequently, and the Ming scouts relied on their superiority in equipment and martial arts to fight with the Jiannu scouts who had advantages in horsemanship and long-range. Both sides are trying to prevent the other from detecting the movements of their main forces, and they are trying to detect the movements of the opposing main forces.

The blue flag rushed all the way out of the hilly terrain and into the wide field, and then, under the guidance of the scouts, launched a charge against the rear army of the Ming army.

It didn't take long for the scouts of the Ming army to discover the traces of the blue flag, and at this time, the rear troops of the Ming army were still twenty-three miles away from the blue flag.

When the Ming scouts sent the information back, the blue flag was still fifteen miles away from the rear troops of the Ming army.

The rear troops of the Ming army immediately stopped marching, set up a formation on the field with a wide field of vision, and solemnly waited for the incoming blue flag. (To be continued......)
