Huang Taiji's eyes were like hibernating poisonous snakes, staring at the surrounding fields silently.

The surrounding fields were silent, and no sound could be heard. Under the high pressure of the Dajin Army, "all the voices came to an abrupt end." The wind blows from the north, bringing a burst of coolness. The green grass tips that grow in the field are constantly swaying in the breeze.

Although Beizhili has been very dry, and today's spring is also belated, however, these tenacious grasses can't wait to show their buds. From a distance, there is already a slight layer of green.

At the end of March, the weather in Beizhili was not so cold. It's a great time to fight. In the sky, the sky is also clear and cloudless, and the blue sky is pure and immaculate, as if it is a reflection of the sea, which is intoxicating.

Under the sky, it's a different look. The soldiers of the forward battalion of the Dajin Army, who were waiting for the battle, "were pulling the war horses, sitting next to the war horses to rest, and recuperating." All their weapons were hung on horseback. At the slightest command, they can instantly turn over and kill the target area.

The soldiers of the forward battalion of the Dajin Army basically have thick armor, and when they usually rest, they will remove the armor to reduce the burden on their bodies. However, "they now" have no intention of removing their armor in the slightest. Because, they will go out at any time, they will go into battle at any time" they simply do not have extra time to put on their armor.

Some indifferent-eyed Tartars were quietly rubbing their arrows with dark black liquid. Next to them, "there is usually a small tin can" and there is usually some viscous liquid in the tin can.

When the breeze blows, there will be a foul smell coming from inside the tin can. These stinking liquids "are the secret weapon of some of the Tartars."

Outside the pass where the Tartars live, there are some plants that are poisonous. During their daily hunting, the Tartars collect these poisonous plants, boil them into a medicinal juice, and apply them to the top of the arrowheads, which can effectively kill the prey. Especially in battle" such arrows, the most ferocious. As long as you are shot, there is basically no chance of rescue.

Since the number of these potions is not large, there is no guarantee that they will be used in every battle, so the Tartars will only be used on a large scale in critical battles. After the Great War of Sarhu, the chance of the Tartars using poisonous arrows has been greatly reduced. Because, the Ming army was not their opponent at all, and whether the arrows were quenched or not had a great impact on the results of the battle.

However, "today, every Tartar is carefully smearing their arrows with these poisonous concoctions. Obviously, the battle that is about to break out makes all the Tartars "have to be taken seriously." Some of the tartars even quietly smeared the blade of the scimitar with medicinal juice, and then carefully inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard.

These secret poisonous potions "do not distinguish between Han Chinese and Manchurians, even if the Tartars themselves" accidentally cut their wounds and then penetrate by the poisonous potions, the consequences will be very serious. In the past, there was once a Tartar who made such a mistake, and as a result, in less than half an hour, his whole body was black and his body was stiff, and he was poisoned alive.

Huang Taiji's eyes focused on the northeast of the field, "that is, the direction of Dongjiabao." He had a large number of scouts in this direction, and he knew anything about it. He was looking forward to exciting news from this direction. Zhang Zhun's speculation is completely correct: "Sending two thousand Mongolian cavalry to Yanshan is indeed a trap carefully arranged by Huang Taiji.

The battle of Pinggang was a huge blow to the vast number of Tartar cavalry and Mongolian cavalry. The 2,000 Mongol cavalry, in the face of the surging Huben cavalry, "was defeated in a blink of an eye." Such a battle cannot be withstood by anyone. Huang Taiji especially can't bear it.

No matter from which angle, Huang Taiji must eliminate these unscrupulous tiger cavalry as soon as possible and restore the dignity of the Dajin Kingdom. Therefore, he quickly set a trap in Yanshan, expecting Zhang Zhun to be caught. Huang Taiji speculated that Zhang Zhun had just tasted the sweetness, and he might be arrogant, so that he could not detect the trap of the Dajin Army.

Huang Taiji was confident enough that as long as Zhang Zhun launched an attack on Yanshan, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army would be dead. He had secretly assembled all the forces of the forward battalion very close to Yanshan, "and could form an encirclement of Yanshan at any time." As long as the sound of cavalry's hooves is heard in the direction of Dongjiabao, it means that the Tiger Ben army has been deceived.

"Zhang Zhun!"

"You're dead!"

Huang Taiji said slowly in his heart, indeed, in Huang Taiji's heart, "I really hate Zhang Zhun." Everything this person has done, Huang Taiji is no longer willing to recall. Everything this person did made him feel the pain of piercing his heart, "As long as I think about it a little, it hurts." If it weren't for this person, the Dajin Army would have soared into the sky and been reborn.

Time is slowly flowing, and for the first time, Emperor Taiji feels that time flies very slowly. For a long time, the direction of Dongjiabao "has never been any movement." The surrounding wilderness seemed to fall into a dead silence. The long-awaited soldiers of the forward battalion also had some commotion. Some soldiers sat on the ground for too long, "getting up and leaning on the side of their horses in boredom." As for the horses, they seemed a little restless, constantly bowing their heads and "letting out a low neighing."

When waiting, it always feels very uncomfortable, and the same is true for Huang Taiji. In addition to the discomfort of waiting, there is also a serious psychology of gain and loss in his heart. Only in front of Zhang Zhun will Huang Taiji have such a mentality. Because, he really wants to clean up Zhang Zhun too much. If this person is not removed, his emperor Taiji can be said to be forever peaceful!

"Is there any movement?"

Huang Taiji couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Not yet."

Zilharang replied a little bitterly.

Huang Taiji's mood, of course, can be understood by Zilharang. In fact, Zilharang not only understood, but even sympathized with Huang Taiji. In the past, "Huang Taiji was so beautiful" and how confident it was. Under his rule, the Dajin Kingdom won successive wars and continued to expand its territory, "increasing its population and wealth." After obtaining the legendary jade seal, Huang Taiji still had the ambition to be the emperor. To be the emperor is to really be on an equal footing with the Ming Kingdom.

However, "Zhang Zhun's appearance broke everything that Huang Taiji had. Zilharang couldn't understand at all how this Zhang Zhun rose and how he organized a powerful tiger army. Since the appearance of this person, the national fortunes of the Dajin Kingdom have been going downhill. A large number of population losses, a large amount of wealth loss, and the prestige and dignity of the big X country have also been constantly challenged and attacked.

Not to mention, just the existence of the current Beizhili "Zhang Zhun is a great pressure on Huang Taiji. In Zhang Zhun's hands, Huang Taiji suffered a lot of losses. If there is no way to eliminate Zhang Zhun, the next move of the Dajin Army will also be greatly constrained. If it is impossible to eliminate the "people and materials looted" by the cavalry of the Tiger Army, it is almost impossible to safely transport them back to the outside of the fortress.

"This Zhang Zhun ......"

Huang Taiji said four words slowly.

The latter words, he did not say. Because he didn't know what to say. He wanted to scold Zhang Zhun fiercely, and greet all the ten generations of Zhang Zhun's ancestors, but he didn't know how to speak. Scolding people "That's not his Huang Taiji style, what he prefers" is still pure killing. It would be most effective to "wipe out" Zhang Zhun and his Tiger Army.

Just wait for Zhang Zhun to pounce on Yanshan, and then vent all his anger on him! If Zhang Zhun is captured alive, Huang Taiji will definitely shout three times and wash his face with tears. Zhang Zhun, the king egg, finally fell into his hands!

Zhang Zhun, come!

I'll wait for you!

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Huang Taiji suddenly perked up, and finally there was movement.

"Great Khan, Salt Mountain is under attack!"

Sure enough, the scout captain quickly came to Huang Taiji to report.

"Salt Mountain under attack?"

"Why is there no report in the direction of Dongjiabao?"

Zilharang asked suspiciously.

"Salt Mountain has indeed been attacked."

The scout captain replied evasively.

"Dongjiabao direction!"

Huang Taiji snorted heavily.

"Great Khan, direction of Dongjiabao...... Didn't find it. ”

The scout captain had no choice but to say honestly.

"Rubbish!"

Huang Taiji scolded fiercely.

The Tiger Army suddenly attacked Salt Mountain, and the Dajin Army's own scouts "didn't even find out, it was really a bunch of waste." Since when did the scouts of the Dajin Army actually degenerate to the point where even the enemy's movements "can't be detected smoothly"? Faintly, Huang Taiji felt that there might be something wrong with this, but what the problem was, he couldn't catch it for a while.

It seems that Zhang Zhun's methods are very cunning, "He actually deceived our scouts!" ”

Zilharang frowned and said bitterly.

In fact, Zilharang knew very well that since the appearance of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, the scope of activity of the scouts of the Dajin Army has been greatly restricted. The firearms used by the cavalry of the Tiger Army have a long range and high accuracy, which is definitely a fatal blow to the scouts of the Dajin Army.

Outside Dongjiabao, the scouts of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army and the scouts of the Dajin Army started a strangulation battle. The scouts of the Dajin Army "can hardly take advantage of it." For a period of time, "the scouts of the Dajin army, twenty or thirty people were killed and wounded every day, and the situation was worrying.

The same is true for the moment.

Because of the existence of the cavalry scouts of the Tiger Ben Army, the scouts of the Dajin Army wanted to get very close to Dongjiabao, which was impossible. Therefore, it is not completely impossible for Zhang Zhun to avoid the detection of the Dajin Army scouts and suddenly appear in Yanshan.

"Attack!"

Huang Taiji immediately shouted.

Now is not the time to hold accountable. Since the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army launched an attack in the direction of Yanshan, it means that Zhang Zhun has fallen into the trap, and his Emperor Taiji is rushing over now, just enough to surround Zhang Zhun. "There can be no delay."

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

The tens of thousands of cavalry of the forward battalion of the Dajin Army, like thunder and lightning, quickly rushed towards the direction of Yanshan. They had been waiting for a long time, "like a flood that lacked an embankment, swept through the field at once" and firmly covered the salt mountain below.

Huang Taiji also struggled to ride his horse "in the direction of Yanshan as fast as possible." At this moment, Huang Taiji was full of ambition and was very confident in his plan. Zhang Zhun was really fooled, "Sure enough, he fell into the trap he designed." It seems that this Zhang Zhun is not a difficult character to deal with! All the troops of the forward battalion rushed to Yanshan at once, and none of the cavalry of the Tiger Army could escape.

Want to fight the Daikin Army in the field? Dream!

Zhang Zhun, this time "You're dead!"

More than an hour later, Huang Taiji successfully rushed to Yanshan, which was already a wolf, everywhere there were traces of battle, everywhere you could see the corpses of Mongolian cavalry lying on the ground, as well as a large number of war horses, lying on the ground and neighing in pain. However, "Huang Taiji doesn't care about this, the only thing he cares about is the movement of the cavalry of the Tiger Army."

"Great Khan, the enemy has fled!"

The scout captain came up to report with a worried face.

"Runner"

"I can't run away!"

Huang Taiji said coldly.

He divided the strength of the forward battalion into two routes, "one way to outflank Yanshan, and the other to intercept in the direction of Dongjiabao." If Zhang Zhun can't be caught here in Yanshan, he will definitely be able to catch them not far from Dongjiabao. Huang Taiji has carefully calculated, "It must not be like Pinggang, half a step slower than the cavalry of the Tiger Army."

"They're running south!"

The scout captain said cautiously.

"Southside?"

Huang Taiji suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Zhun actually fled to the south? Bad! The forward battalion is in the south, "but there are no troops deployed!" Even if they try to catch up now, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up. How could this Zhang Zhun escape to the south? Do you want to escape back to Texas?

"Impossible!"

Huang Taiji said angrily.

Zhang Zhun's cavalry "set out from Dongjiabao, how could they escape to the south?" Could it be that "Zhang Zhun knew his plan, so after attacking Yanshan, he immediately fled to the south to avoid the trap he had laid?" If that's the case, this Zhang Zhun is too smart?

That's exactly what Bagan said.

The scout captain turned pale and said cautiously.

"Call Baghan!"

Huang Taiji shouted angrily.

Bagen was the leader of the two Mongol thousand-man teams, and he was also a relative of Zaisangbuhe. This man is an honest Mongol, completely different from the unruly Hasen. Because of the battle in Pinggang, Huang Taiji now has a distrust of those subordinates who are too smart. He'd rather use some honest people.

"Great Khan!"

Bagen came to the front of Huang Taiji and greeted him honestly.

"Where did the Tiger Army come from?"

Huang Taiji asked with a gloomy face. South.

Bargan replied honestly.

"How many troops are there?"

Huang Taiji vaguely felt that something was wrong.

The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army actually came from the south? Zhang Zhun's cavalry, isn't it in Dongjiabao? Dongjiabao is in the north of Yanshan, how could the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army come from the south? Could it be that Zhang Zhun secretly set out from Dongjiabao, then made a big circle, and then launched an attack from the south? No way! Zhang Zhun won't be so boring! Going around in circles is time-consuming, and it's not easy to keep your whereabouts private.

"Probably less than two thousand!"

Bargan replied in a less affirmative way.

"Oops!" Yan Taiji shouted.

Bagen is also an old battlefield, and in terms of the number of enemies, he will not make too many mistakes, he said that the number of cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army is less than 2,000 people, "that is, it is really less than 2,000 people." Compare with each other" and the problem arises.

The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army who attacked Pinggang must have been more than 2,000 people. Some of the soldiers of the Dajin Army "are very good at studying the horseshoe prints, and they have carefully observed all the horseshoe prints, and conclude that the strength of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army is about 3,000 people." This figure has been repeatedly confirmed, "It is absolutely not wrong."

In other words, the difference between the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army attacking Pinggang and attacking Yanshan was at least 1,000 men. If Zhang Zhun really attacked Yanshan, he, with 3,000 cavalry, could not gather and only dispatch 2,000 people. It is highly likely that the attack on Yanshan "was the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army on the other road, not directly commanded by Zhang Zhun himself."

"You'll tell me more about it."

Huang Taiji tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and said calmly.

He could feel that something must be wrong here, and it was a big problem. But "as a manager, he can't panic. Even if the sky falls, he will resist it. The more critical the moment, the more you have to resist. If there is a panic in his Emperor Taiji, the entire forward battalion may fall into a panic.

"Okay!"

Bagan explained honestly.

According to Huang Taiji's instructions, Bagen took 2,000 Mongolian cavalry and stationed in Yanshan. His main task "was to act as a decoy and wait for the arrival of the cavalry of the Tiger Army in the direction of Dongjiapu." To this end, "Bagen is well prepared. He lined up his troops to the north and "watched vigilantly into the northern wilderness." However, unexpectedly, "the cavalry of the Tiger Army suddenly appeared from behind."

Caught off guard, Bagan and his subordinates were attacked by the fierce blows of the Tiger Ben cavalry, and four or five hundred people were killed at once. Fortunately, "the number of cavalry of the attacking Tiger Army was small, and there was no way to eat all the Mongolian cavalry at once, and the two sides immediately entered a state of confrontation." The Mongol cavalry also launched a counterattack against the Tiger Ben cavalry, inflicting certain losses on the Tiger Ben cavalry.

Bagen tried to entangle the Tiger Ben cavalry and waited for Huang Taiji's arrival. However, "his own casualties are indeed very large, and he has no ability to entangle the other party." The tighter the entanglement, the greater the losses of the troops. Moreover, the retreat of the cavalry of the Tiger Army was "very decisive and not at all dragging."

"You say" The action of the Tiger Ben army to withdraw is very resolute and decisive? ”

Zilharang sensitively grasped the crux of the matter.

"Yes!"

Bargan replied honestly.

"Our plan has been discovered by the Tiger Army."

Jierharang glanced at Huang Taiji and said bitterly.

When the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army had the upper hand, they did not completely defeat the Mongol cavalry, so they quickly withdrew, regardless of it, obviously knowing that the forward battalion of Huang Taiji would quickly reinforce it. They had to "get out of the way quickly" before the Striker Battalion arrived, or else they would risk being surrounded by the Striker Battalion. In other words, the Dajin Army's plan of action, the Tiger Ben Army has long known.

"Not good! Big Ben Nose! ”

Zilharan suddenly cried out.

He immediately sensed something was wrong. If it was not the Huben cavalry of Dongjiabao who attacked Yanshan, then it was very likely that they would go to the base camp of the Dajin Army in Cangzhou. Zhang Zhun is such a shrewd and vicious person, it is impossible to let the 3,000 cavalry get moldy in Dongjiabao and not take the initiative to attack. The forward battalion is not in the base camp of Cangzhou, and for Zhang Zhun, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack.

In fact, Huang Taiji is also fully prepared for the base camp in Cangzhou. If the Tiger Ben Army plans to attack the west, Huang Taiji will immediately send people back to the base camp. It's just that when there was a battle in Yanshan, Huang Taiji immediately rushed towards Yanshan. He habitually believed that since the Tiger Ben Army had attacked Yanshan, the base camp in Cangzhou would be absolutely safe.

"Go back to base camp!"

Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face.

He understood that he was cheated by Zhang Zhun again. Because of a mistake in a certain link, "the plan was leaked", and as a result, Brigadier General Zhang calculated and lured himself to Yanshan, and then sent cavalry to attack his base camp. He could simply guess that his base camp should be a sea of fire now.

In fact, "in the base camp, there is no substantial wealth, even if it is copied by the cavalry of the Tiger Army, the substantial loss will not be very large." The key is that this is the golden tent of his Emperor Taiji, and it is where the face of his Emperor Taiji lies. Accidentally, his gold camp tent was copied by the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, which was equivalent to Zhang Zhun directly slapping himself with an ear scraper, and he couldn't save face.

"Go back!"

The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more angry he became, and shouted angrily.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the forward battalion, who had found nothing, hurriedly returned to the base camp.

Because of the horsepower problem, when I went back, the speed was a little slower. As a result, when Huang Taiji returned to the base camp, he found that it was already in ruins. Looking at the past, "it was all burnt tents, and there was a mess of black smoke rising from it." The soldiers of each forward battalion looked at everything in front of them with strange expressions. All the other tents were burned, except for Huang Taiji's own golden tooth tent, which was intact. Yes" Huang Taiji's own golden tent was only a little blackened, and there was no trace of any other destruction. However, Huang Taiji would rather it be completely burned down than sit alone in the ruins. It's like a silent mockery, mocking Huang Taiji's incompetence.

"Poof!"

Huang Taiji suddenly felt a tingling pain in his head, "followed by the darkness in front of him, and he collapsed on the horse's back."
