As early as Qin Shuhuai's methods, everyone had already learned them last year! This person is known as the master of the Ghost Valley, and what he is best at is this kind of ghost trick method that hides from the sky and the sea!

However, after thinking about it, Dorgon felt that what Azig said was wrong.

He asked, "Azigbel, you said that Qin Shuhuai actually didn't go to Jizhou for a detour? But in that case, why did he intercept and kill our army's horse sentry along the way? If it weren't for the fact that I sent a thousand horsemen to Qian'an this time, wouldn't we never have been fooled?"

He's right. If Qin Shuhuai really wanted to deceive him, he would have let his horse sentry go to Qian'an City a long time ago, and only by letting him see that Qian'an was an empty city could he be fooled? It was precisely because Qin Shuhuai didn't want him to know that he had left Qian'an, so he sent someone to ambush his horse sentry!

This suspicion is definitely convincing, but Comrade Azig does not think so.

"Since the defeat of Ji Si, Ben Beile has been studying Qin Shuhuai. This person is extremely scheming, whether it is in the battle of seizing the three sides, exterminating the Demon Sect or exterminating the Liukou, he has used the technique of attacking the heart that is impossible to guard. He didn't let our spies go to Qian'an in the first place, probably deliberately to make us anxious. When we were in a hurry, he let our horsemen go to Qian'an. In this case, once we find out that Qian'an is an empty city, we will definitely think that he has gone to Jizhou! Just like Dolgonbeyler, your first reaction just now, isn't it the same?"

Azig is a general who is good at thinking, and he has a lot of eyeliner in the Central Plains, and the intelligence of the northern beggars was directly connected with him at the beginning.

After his defeat, he was unwilling to collect news about Qin Shuhuai. In the past few days, from the three sides to seize power, fight the Demon Sect, and exterminate Gao Yingxiang, he knows every action of Qin Shuhuai well. Every time he heard the news of his victory, although he was even more worried, he had to admire Qin Shuhuai's ability to strategize and scheming!

It was precisely because he had studied too much that he felt that Qin Shuhuai was playing tricks again this time!

The so-called authorities are obsessed, and this is probably the case. Azig studied Qin Shuhuai too much, but he fell into the pit by himself. If Qin Shuhuai heard Azig's analysis at this time, he would probably laugh out loud - Nima, am I really not so yin?

Dolgon couldn't make up his mind for a moment when Azig said this.

If Qin Shuhuai was really still near Qian'an as Azig said, and just deliberately pretended to go to Jizhou, then once he took the main force to Zunhua, the Santun camp would be lost.

He has already suffered a big defeat and lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if he loses three more camps, he won't want to turn over in the future!

Thinking of this, he asked, "So, Azigebel, what do you think should be done? Could it be that we will not move here? If Qin Shuhuai really detours to Jizhou to Zunhua, what will we do?" Dolgon asked.

Azig said, "First, immediately send someone to inform the Great Khan so that he can take precautions. Second, the 10,000 troops of Mang Gurtai Dabeile could set off for Zunhua first, in case Qin Shuhuai really made a detour. In this way, we have more than 50,000 troops in the area of Zunhua and Shimenzhai, and even if Qin Shuhuai and Yuan Chonghuan join forces in a short time, they will not want to defeat us. And in Santun Camp, we still have 20,000 five major troops, even if Qin Shuhuai comes to attack Santun Camp, it will also not be able to capture it in a short time. And Santun Camp is not far from Zunhua, as long as he can't decide the winner in a short time, we can support each other. ”

Dolgon thought about it and thought it made sense.

......

It is very close from Jizhou to Shimenzhai, only 70 miles in total. If you are in a hurry, you can reach it in two and a half hours.

However, Qin Shuhuai did not order a rapid march, but ordered the army to march at a normal speed. Because he planned to start attacking as soon as he arrived at Shimen Village, without giving the Tartars time to set up defenses, he asked the soldiers to save their physical strength on the way.

The army set out at Shenshi (about 3 o'clock in the afternoon), and after walking for two hours, they came to the area of Xiguantun, thirty miles away from Shimen Village.

The terrain of Xiguantun is relatively flat, and there are few mountains around, which is a relatively rare basin in this hilly area.

By this time it was already dark, and the army was marching in an orderly manner.

It didn't take long for a huge roar to sound from the front and from the left and right wings.

Boom! Boom!

There was the sound of a large number of horsemen approaching!

Without waiting for Qin Shuhuai's order, the extremely experienced generals of the Ming army, such as Zhang Xiao, He Kegang, and Zhu Mei, immediately shouted loudly at the top of their voices, "The horsemen are coming!

In the midst of a roar, the army quickly gathered and quickly set up a line of horses - the shieldmen outside, the spearmen behind, and the swordsmen all hiding behind them.

In addition, the coalition soldiers at the rear immediately expanded to both sides of the road to increase the depth.

After so many battles, the coalition soldiers have long been more proficient in the battle array.

Their reaction was much faster than the 30,000 guards they had brought from Jizhou, but it didn't matter how fast or slow these 30,000 guards were, because they were still a few miles away, judging from the sound, the horsemen should not be able to impact them.

Countless flares were immediately raised, helping the coalition forces to determine the number and specific direction of the opposing horsemen!

After the flare was raised, I saw three Mongolian horsemen rushing from the front of the team, the left and right flanks, but their number added up to about four or five thousand, unable to fully attack the Ming army, if the 70,000 Ming army lined up in a long column compared to a giant dragon, then these horsemen are equivalent to only hitting the "head" of the dragon.

But even so, it is not trivial for four or five thousand cavalry to attack at the same time, and the whole army is ready for battle!

Where did this cavalry come from?

It was the five thousand Mongolian Duoyan cavalry transferred from Ma Lanyu, led by Urdu!

These Mongolian cavalry were originally suggested by Fan Wencheng that Huang Taiji be transferred to prevent Jizhou from sending troops to reinforce Zunhua, and they have been roaming in this area, and when they saw Qin Shuhuai's army, they thought that Jizhou had really sent a guard, so they couldn't wait to rush and kill!

At this time, Urdu looked excited, he knew very well that the guards of the Ming Kingdom were like a plate of scattered sand, and they were not vulnerable at all.

No matter how many tens of thousands of Ming Guowei troops come, even if there are too many to beat, there is no difficulty in wreaking havoc on himself to make a big battle exploit and then calmly withdraw!

Moreover, if the Ming Guards are only less than 20,000, they can even defeat them in one fell swoop, and then our ** soldiers will have a big face!

During this march, Qin Shuhuai did not let the soldiers use torches, and marched purely by moonlight. While this comes at the expense of speed, it greatly improves confidentiality.

And it is precisely for this reason that your only knows that there is an army coming, but you can't see whose army this army is!

See whose troops this is?

And yet he just doesn't look!
