Spread out the march map and look at it, the small hill in front of it was the first ink spot that Sun Degong showed Huangshi the day before yesterday. Before Fei Liguo's words fell, the probe horse at the front hurried back, and before the horse stopped, the scout had already shouted: "Lord Huang, there seems to be a suspicious character activity on the hills." ”

Under Fei Liguo's gaze, Huang Shi shouted: "Stop!"

The sentinel team immediately stopped.

"Revisit. Huang Shi gave another order.

After a stick of incense, the two scouts rushed back with gasus panting, still holding something in their hands: "Lord Huang, the suspicious characters have not been found, but these are here." ”

Those things were several kinds of people's clothes, and a damaged horseshoe, Huang Shi and Fei Liguo looked at each other tacitly, ordered the horse team to disperse the search, and at the same time reported to the rear the signs of the activities of the Golden Sentinel Detective.

Of course, Sun Degong, who was in charge of the vanguard of the Guangning Army, immediately stopped advancing, and the vanguard reconnaissance rode out in all directions, and searched for half a day before re-entering the road, and Chen Qu, who had received a safety report, also urged the whole army to move out.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the march, the banner of Houjin appeared at Sun Degong's second ink spot, a forest. Although it still proved to be a suspicious soldier, this time the army was suspended for nearly a quarter of an hour. The only good news was that Zu Dashou caught up with the Quang Ninh army with a thousand Guanning cavalry.

On the subsequent journey, various signs were encountered many times in a row, and although all of them were false alarms, the army stopped and went for three hours, and only one-third of the normal march was taken.

The soldiers of the outpost horse team also became nervous, as if they would be ambushed at any time, and the Quang Ninh army behind them was even more complaining.

No matter how slow he walked, there was still a time when this distance came to an end, but Huangshi, as an outpost, had already seen a pillar of smoke gradually rising in the direction of Xiping Fort on the horizon. Soon he saw dozens of Houjin sentinels in small groups appear on the front and flanks of their horse team, and behind them was the churning and blazing Xiping Fort.

"Stop your advance, and send more horses to the flanks. Huang Shi ordered loudly, and then he consulted Fei Liguo: "Brother Fei, it's better to stop, or to move on?"

Fei Liguo smiled bitterly: "Brother Huang, you are embarrassed for me." I haven't fought a war either. ”

Not to mention the pro-soldiers around him, Huang Shi knew that none of the entire outpost horse team had the experience of the outpost, since the fierce battle in Liaodong, the elite of the Ming army had already been lost, and the vast majority of Guangning Town were newly recruited soldiers or original reclamation soldiers, and the veterans who had fought almost no longer existed.

"Outpost, move on," Huang Shi gritted his teeth and gave an order, while pulling a herald over the liner: "Go back immediately and report that our unit has encountered Jiannu and may need reinforcements." ”

The Houjin Tanma in front of them advanced until they were four or five hundred meters away from Huangshi before stopping, and they looked at it comfortably, and as the hundreds of Ming troops advanced cautiously, they also retreated westward with the same slowness.

Huang Shi felt his palms begin to sweat, and glanced at the soldiers around him, all of them were also pale, many of them put their hands on their weapons, and some of them repeatedly pulled out their knives for a while, and then inserted them back in, making a piercing sound.

"The whole army obeyed the order and drew the sword. Yellowstone finally couldn't stand the tension of this sound anymore. At the sound of the order, the outposts eagerly showed their weapons, followed by a loud noise, and the soldiers shouted in low voices to embolden themselves.

Huang Shi squinted his eyes and looked over, the Houjin Sentinel on the opposite side still maintained a posture of holding the reins with both hands, their squad spread out even more, scattered all over the ground, while the Ming army horse team was more and more tightly crowded together, at first glance, dozens of Houjin Tan horses seemed to surround the four hundred Ming army cavalry.

As the Yue Di advanced, the Jin Brigade began to appear in the field of vision of Huangshi and other Ming troops after the black pressure pressed the ground.

"Brother Huang, we should stop advancing. Fei Liguo felt that it was difficult for him to drive his subordinates on.

"The enemy forces are still a long way from us. Huang Shi stood up on Deng in the stirrups and looked out, "I can't see how many people there are." How to report to the Chinese army?"

"Keep going. Huang Shi ignored Fei Liguo, who was stunned, and resolutely ordered, although it was the first time for the soldier to go to the battlefield, his appearance was too bad.

But before the horse team could advance, one of the soldiers shouted: "My lord, look. The soldier pointed to a group of Houjin cavalry slowly approaching the Ming army, and the number seemed to be three or four hundred.

"We have enemy forces behind us. A soldier in the back suddenly shouted in despair. Immediately caused a panicked buzz.

"Shut up, shut up. Yellowstone roared as he quickly turned his horse backwards. The Ming army's outpost horse team had already crowded into a battle formation because of its high alert, so it opened a gap with the forward, and Huang Shi really saw two or three Houjin Tanma swaggering into this crack, and ran over to observe the Ming army's forward troops.

When Huang Shi returned to the front row, he still couldn't see the formation and number of Houjin's team clearly, but the hundreds of Houjin cavalry that were pressing towards them were less than two miles.

"Your Excellency, give the order. Several pro-soldiers began to urge Huangshi.

"Your Excellency. Give it the order. The soldiers around him began to shout to themselves.

Huang Shi knew what kind of order they wanted, so he had no choice but to order:

"Retreat, converge with the strikers. ”

The scattered Houjin Tanma maintained the same degree and distance around them, all the way back to the Ming army's forward array.

"How many vanguard troops are there on the other side?" As soon as he returned to the vanguard army, Sun Degong asked in front of a large number of officers.

"Back to my lord, three or four thousand. Huang Shimian replied without changing his color.

"Hey, how many Jiannu troops are there?"

"Forty thousand. Of course, Huang Shi didn't see it, but he didn't hesitate to reply immediately.

"Do you see clearly?"

"It's true. ”

"Nonsense," Sun Degong suddenly jumped like thunder, startling Huang Shi a lot, only to hear him roar and say: "How can you see it clearly at once, do you look closer?"

Huang Shi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to say anything, Jiannu is indeed 40,000 troops, and I have seen it with my own eyes." "After saying that, I said that I was (16) and that I was aphid 9.

"Yes, Jiannu is indeed 40,000, and I have seen it with my own eyes. Fei Liguo immediately echoed.

"There is no joke in the army. Sun Degong still refuses to give up.

"I would never dare to be lowly. Fei Liguo and Huang Shi replied in unison.

Sun Degong silently recited "40,000" a few times, and coughed violently: "Fei Liguo, this is a major military situation, don't deceive the general." ”

Fei Liguo and Sun Degong looked at each other for a moment, and replied helplessly: "Of course I don't dare to be humble." ”

"Meet, 40,000, do you really see it clearly? The whole army stopped advancing and joined the Chinese army. Sun Degong gave the order, and Huang Shi hurriedly began to greet his subordinates.

Recalling the conversation between Sun Degong and Fei Liguo, Huang Shi's chest was full of confusion, and there was a vague thought shaking in front of his eyes, but he couldn't grasp it all of a sudden.
