Yang He and Liu Zeqing set off on time.

What they saw was a snowy world, the snowflakes were still falling, but they were a little thinner, and among the thick snow on the ground, there were striking red wooden stakes, which were marked on both sides of the official road by the scout battalion soldiers after reconnaissance.

Yang He and Liu Zeqing had already predicted that Du Du ordered some of the sergeants to escort the grain and grass, and the speed was definitely not fast, and the army led by Du Du set off from Yizhou and rushed to Baoding Fucheng, and Shen Shi was close to Qiliping at about two o'clock, this speed was very amazing, which showed that Du Du was marching at the fastest speed, eager to take Baoding Fucheng, and would not consider the sergeants transporting grain and grass for the time being.

At a normal pace, a sergeant transporting grain and grass could walk a maximum of 100 to 150 miles a day.

The weather was harsh and snowed heavily, which was even more of a factor affecting the speed of the march.

According to the analysis of these circumstances, the army transporting grain and grass is at least about 50 miles away from the city of Baoding, even if there is a Houjin Tartar who fled from yesterday's battle to inform the army transporting grain and grass after dawn, from the time calculation, the army of the Zheng family army can also catch up, so as to completely wipe out the Houjin Tartar who transported grain and grass.

Considering these circumstances, Yang He and Liu Zeqing asked the army to march as fast as possible and not to delay time, after all, the scouts had already reconnoitred the route, and they could march with confidence.

As soon as he walked about ten miles, several scouts rode fast horses to report on them.

The scouts had already detected the location of the army of the Houjin Tartars transporting grain and grass, and had come to report it.

Yang He and Liu Zeqing heard the scout's report, their faces changed again, the Houjin Tartars who transported grain and grass were still eighty miles away from the city of Baoding, and they stopped marching and set up camp when the heavy snow came, but their tents were only for the sergeants to live in, as for the captured Han and the plundered women. There were no tents to live in, and these ordinary people were kept in makeshift fences, exposed to rain and snow like cattle. The Later Golden Tartars did not even send a special sergeant to take care of them, perhaps in their opinion, these captives have become a drag in such a harsh climate.

The scouts don't know when the Golden Tartars will depart, but it's for sure. For the time being, it was not found that the Houjin Tartars would reconcile with the army transporting grain and grass, and in the process of reconnaissance, the scouts killed many fleeing Houjin Tartars, and these Houjin Tartars either found the woods to hide, or snuggled with the war horses to avoid the cold.

As long as it is a Houjin Tartar found by the scouts, it is the fate of being killed, and the scouts do not need to be captured.

In this process, Zheng Xunrui has already made arrangements, and he estimates that there will be a time when the golden tartars fled into the nearby villages and towns in a panic. He had already sent 4,000 men to search the nearby villages and towns.

After the scouts reported the situation, Yang He and Liu Zeqing did not order the army to speed up the march, but stopped to study the information obtained.

According to the scout's reconnaissance, there were about 5,000 Houjin Tartars who were responsible for transporting grain and grass, which was not a small number, they were eighty miles away from Baoding Fucheng, but only sixty miles away from the Zheng soldiers on the march. All the Zheng family's army were cavalry, including the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who also fought on horseback, and their speed was much faster, and they could march sixty miles in an hour. According to this speed, the meeting between the soldiers of the Zheng family army and the Houjin Tartar was between half an hour and an hour.

This means that the big war is coming, and the officers and men of the Zheng family need to make all preparations during the march.

After careful and careful deliberation between Yang He and Liu Zeqing, they quickly made a decision, they decided to fight a beautiful ambush battle, and the opportunity for this ambush battle was completely there. And it can minimize the casualties of Zheng Jiajun's soldiers.

It was not particularly difficult for the soldiers of the Zheng family to hide in the snow all around.

Comparatively speaking, the sergeants who transport grain and grass are generally weak in combat effectiveness in the entire army.

Yang He immediately gave an order to the scouts, closely pay attention to the movements of the Houjin Tartars, and report at any time, and the time of each report was not allowed to exceed half an hour, and he and Liu Zeqing, together with more than 100 soldiers, accelerated their speed and went to the front to reconnoitre, looking for the most suitable place for the army to ambush.

Leading the army of grain and grass was a Mel Zhangjing of the Eight Banners.

It would certainly be unpleasant to undertake such a task, but at least it would mean much less income, and after conquering the city, you could rob a lot of money, and as long as you could keep some gold jewelry and so on, it would be far more than the rewards allocated.

The unpleasant mood will naturally interfere with the command, since it is to transport grain and grass, there is no need to send scouts to reconnoiter the situation along the road, as long as some sergeants are sent to explore the road in front, the official road covered by heavy snow still needs to be cleaned up simply, so that it is convenient for the carriage to transport grain and grass forward, as for those captured Han people, life and death do not care so much.

The time of the departure of the army, it is still the time of the mao, the first day of the march of one hundred and twenty miles, for the soldiers on horseback is nothing, can not keep up with the captured Han people, many people fell on the march, no one cares about them, push to both sides of the official road, after a night of heavy snow, more Han people fell, this is in line with the intention of Meler Zhangjing, the Han people who can survive, strong, brought to Shenyang can come in handy.

Women also have to be screened, and those who are outstandingly riding in carriages, especially women who are favored by officers at all levels, are to be protected, and as for other women, they are basically pulled into the tent by the sergeants.

The obstruction of the heavy snow made the march even slower, although it was only eighty miles away from the city of Baoding.

At the end of the day, the army advanced about thirty miles, and there were still fifty miles away from the city of Baoding.

There is a forest in front of it, and the trees are distributed on both sides of the official road, and it looks a little thick.

Meljangin gave the order that when the army arrived in the woods, it could rest for a quarter of an hour.

There were cheers in the middle of the ranks, and the sergeants in front increased their march and headed towards the woods.

Naturally, the wagons and prisoners were left behind, and a large number of sergeants headed in the direction of the woods.

In less than a minute, almost all the sergeants approached the woods, and behind them were a few sergeants who were escorting the wagons and the captives, and their mouths began to make scolding sounds, asking the captives to speed up their walking, and some even raised their horsewhips and threw them down mercilessly.

The sound of wails and whips came and went, and none of the sergeants in front even looked back.

When the crisp gunshots rang out, some of the sergeants looked around strangely, and others were horrified to find that their brothers had fallen instantly, and blood was gushing from their heads or chests.

The battle began in an instant.

Yang He and Liu Zeqing, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help it for a long time, this forest was the ambush location they chose, with the cover of the woods, it would be much easier for the army to ambush, and the sight of the Golden Tartar would be done after blocking it with branches.

By the time the ambush began, many of the Houjin Tartars who had entered the woods had already dismounted, and this was the best time to shoot.

You must know that in yesterday's battle, only 3,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion shot at the same time in a phalanx, of course, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had been in ambush for a while, had already found their best position to aim.

By the time Melerjangin realized that the situation was not right, it was too late.

He personally ordered the sergeants to rest for a quarter of an hour, all the sergeants relaxed, most of them dismounted, not to mention organizing a counterattack at this time, even if it was a little reluctant to flee for their lives.

The gunfire became more and more intense, and there were more and more fallen post-gold tartars.

The small number of sergeants who were in charge of escorting the wagons and the captives, seeing that the situation was not right, abandoned the wagons and the captives, and galloped in the direction of the woods, their bows and arrows already raised.

A grim smile appeared on Yang He's face, and he yelled at the soldiers behind him.

"Brothers, follow me to charge, and kill all the golden tartars......"

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves appeared, and a large area of red instantly surrounded the woods, and countless arrows rained towards the woods, and the screams were even more.

Yang He and Liu Zeqing, who have experienced many ambush battles, can grasp the best opportunity to attack, the ambush battle is ready to be launched in the woods, and they are very happy that Houjin Tatar actually rested in the woods, isn't this the best opportunity given by God.

When the cavalry rushed into the woods, many Houjin Tartars were still hastily dodging bows and arrows, and most of the Houjin Tartars did not have time to get on their horses, and some of the horses that were shot by bows and arrows fell to the ground and screamed.

The face-to-face battle unfolded in an instant.

The smell of blood began to spread, but it wasn't as strong in comparison, perhaps because the woods had absorbed a lot of it......

Nearly two hours passed, and the woods began to fall silent.

Yang He and Liu Zeqing both had large blood stains on their bodies, although Liu Zeqing was in command of the Shenji Battalion, but when he saw the soldiers of the cavalry battalion charging and fighting, he couldn't help but raise his spear and join the battle group.

This is a clean victory, the escaped Houjin Tartars are minimal, the casualties of the Zheng family army are very few, Yang He and Liu Zeqing discussed the tactics, achieved great success, they first asked the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to attack, and then the soldiers of the cavalry battalion attacked and killed, when the soldiers of the cavalry battalion began to fight, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion retreated outside the woods, found the fleeing Houjin Tartars, and immediately shot and killed, such tactics, few Houjin Tartars were able to escape.
