Because they were ambushed here in advance to obtain first-hand information, these four Tatar spies were easily caught.

It's not hard to understand that people can't outrun dogs, and since this is an endless grassland, they can only hide themselves by digging holes in the ground and covering them with turf.

How could you escape without horses?

He has made meritorious service twice, and the credit last time in Sanbula River was not very great, because what he found was only the traces of some stragglers, but this time he really caught the enemy's spies.

It is not a great achievement to catch the enemy's spies, and the most important thing is that the Tatars do not get first-hand information, which is more important.

At the very least, it can buy the Ming army some time to react and prepare, and at the very least, it can even affect the direction of the battle.

Of course, the possibility of influencing the direction of the battle is still too small and too small, after all, the Ming army has more than 400,000 people, and it is too difficult to hide.

Now I can't get the news, and I will know it in three days and five days, and no one dares to say that I can hide the whereabouts of more than 400,000 people, let alone war horses.

But even so, these dogs brought by Zhu Zhanyan are enough to impress.

However, Zhu Zhanyan was not so happy, he was giving medicine to the dogs in a tent that the old man had allocated to him alone.

This meritorious service was really accidental and a fluke.

The four Tartar scouts were hidden across the river, and the river could have a big impact on dogs, which mainly rely on scent tracking.

If you ask a field expert how to avoid being tracked by bears and other large predators in the wild, they will most of them tell you to cross back and forth a few times if there is a river, which can greatly disturb them.

And the reason why the dogs were able to find the four spies this time, Zhu Zhanyan felt that it was probably the reason for the wind direction at that time, plus the people on the grassland ate far more meat than the Han people, and the body odor was heavier.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan felt that this meritorious service was actually caused by accident.

As for the fluke......

Although the four Tatar spies could not ride horses or carry bows and arrows, they still carried short knives for self-defense.

Although the blue and white dog is fierce, it is not copper-skinned and iron-clad, and two dogs were injured because of this.

One was injured on the hind leg, and the other was much more serious, with a wound on the face and almost an eyeball.

"How?" Zhu Zhanyan was giving medicine to the dogs, the curtain at the door of the tent was lifted, and Zhu Di strode to Zhu Zhanyan's side.

"Yours are all right, right?"

"My grandson has seen my grandfather." Zhu Zhanyan first saluted the old man, and then answered the old man's question.

"If you go back to grandpa, it's not a big deal, it's all been scratched, and it's okay to take some medicine, but this dog doesn't have a lot of mind, and he always habitually licks his wounds, which is more difficult to do."

"Grandpa asked someone to get you some good medicine, this is our hero, we can't slack off."

Zhu Di patted Zhu Zhanyan's shoulder, very hard, proving that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

"Grandpa, you're serious." Zhu Zhanyan hurriedly excused himself.

"These dogs are raised in the wild on weekdays, and the skin is very solid, although the injury is more serious, but it is not a fatal injury, just rest for a while."

"On the contrary, grandpa, now that we have captured the Tatar spies, we have more time to prepare, you still have to deal with it as soon as possible."

"After all, this is related to the entire Ming Dynasty in the distance, and it is also related to the more than 400,000 soldiers and people who went on this expedition."

"These grandchildren's dogs are nothing compared to that."

Zhu Di's face was full of emotion when he heard this, although he didn't say anything, but patted Zhu Zhanyan's shoulder to show encouragement and comfort, and then left the camp with some relief.

Zhu Zhanyan is right, everything else is a trivial matter, and it is true whether this small advantage can be transformed into a big advantage.

But that's easy to say......

After the news spread that several dogs could catch the enemy's spies throughout the three armies, the morale of the entire Ming army was mobilized.

In the past, they just competed with people for credit, but now they have to compete with dogs, which is nothing, and the credit is actually more about luck, but if the dogs have made meritorious contributions, they have not made any achievements......

Isn't that a shame?

But it's not a shame to say it, after all, in some ways they really can't catch up with the dogs.

The sense of smell is not good, the sense of hearing is not good, this is a congenital condition that cannot be changed, but after this incident, the food of these twelve blue and white dogs is much better than that of ordinary soldiers.

It's all meat, and it's not jerky, it's all raw meat.

"Zhan Yan, you can be regarded as out of the limelight this time, and now the whole army is talking about your dogs......"

In the tent, Zhu Zhanji was eating while watching the dogs with envy as they buried their heads in cooking.

He is not envious of the dog's food, after all, he is also a royal grandson, and it is impossible to be worse than the dog's food, he is envious of Zhu Zhanyan.

He also wanted these dogs, but it was obviously impossible.

"It's just a coincidence, not rather." Zhu Zhanyan didn't think about it that much, because he knew very well that this might not be able to be replicated again.

As in the war, the dogs' meritorious service this time was mainly due to the favorable time, place and people.

The time of day is because the wind direction is blowing from the other side of the Yuqu River towards the Ming army, and the location is advantageous because this is an endless grassland, as long as the Yuqu River is crossed, people really can't run dogs.

As for the people, that's because there's no one to stop the dogs.

Zhu Zhanyan now thinks that it was a fluke.

"What you said is light, how many people can't make such a contribution even if it's a coincidence."

Zhu Zhanji was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanji's performance as an old Versailles.

"Don't forget, I'll divide a few puppies when I have them."

"No problem!" Zhu Zhanyan was immersed in cooking while responding to his cousin.

There is nothing wrong with having pups, these twelve blue and white dogs are not in the same litter, and they are all three years old, no matter what the dog is at most one and a half years old enough to breed, so it is not a big problem.

But the problem at hand is war, not these.

"Report !!"

Just as the two were eating, there was a shouting sound with a very long tail outside the tent, Zhu Zhanyan and Zhu Zhanji raised their heads at the same time to look at each other, and after staring at each other for a few seconds, they got up at the same time and ran towards the outside of the tent.

"Report! About seven miles to the northwest spotted traces of enemy cavalry! It seems to be coming in the direction of our army! ”

In an instant, Zhu Zhanyan immediately felt that the atmosphere had changed, everyone was upright, and the low air pressure brought by it made Zhu Zhanyan feel a little difficult to breathe.
