East Factory Governor

Chapter 593

Qin Shuhuai probably understood, so he interrupted, "Okay, Ben Hou knows. Ben Hou asks you, since you have been here for a long time, do you know that there has been any military exchanges between Qian'an and Santunying recently? "

Wei Laosi immediately said, "Back to Lord Hou, there was a large group of Tartars heading for Qian'an from the direction of Santunying last night. Let's take a look, there are about 5000 people."

Qin Shuhuai sighed and thought, since the Tartars allocated [-] troops to Qian'an, then the three camps must have been defeated.This ancestor's birthday is really good, and he couldn't keep it for a day.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Laosi, "Go back and tell your masters to keep guarding the main roads everywhere. If you see anyone passing by, no matter if they are Han Chinese or Tartars, you will stop them. In addition, if you have any information, you must immediately Report to this Marquis. As long as you sincerely serve the court, this Marquis will give you a good future."

Wei Laosi said happily, "Yes, yes! The little one obeys! The little one is willing to devote himself to the emperor and Lord Hou until he dies!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked his head twice again.

After the two returned, the generals were even more frowning.

From Wei Laosi's words, they also deduced that Santunying had fallen.In this case, even if all the horse posts in Qian'an were intercepted, I am afraid that the Tartars in Santunying would come to reinforce them soon after they realized something was wrong.

Now there are more than 1 Tatars in Qian’an, [-] in Yongping, and [-] Tartars in Santunying after they received reinforcements. Although I don’t know how much they lost in the siege, it is estimated that there are only [-] Tartars at most. In this way, if the Tartars encircled them, they would have at least [-] troops.

Although the martial arts coalition army is now very strong, in field battles, it is still a bit behind compared with the battle-hardened Tartar Eight Banners soldiers.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the martial arts coalition forces perform exceptionally well and draw a tie with the Tartars, and exchange 10,000 for [-], it will still be a loss!You must know that the Tartars have [-]+ elite soldiers, plus another [-] to [-] soldiers. After defeating these [-] troops, they can continue to wreak havoc in the Central Plains, but what about the Central Plains?Without these [-] elite soldiers, even Yuan Chonghuan's troops who were besieged in Zunhua may be trapped to death. By then, it will be easy for the Tatars to hit the capital!
At this time, it was getting dark, and the more than 1 supply troops that were left behind also rushed to Qian'an and joined the army.

So Qin Shuhuai ordered to bury the stove first and cook.He planned to go into the city after dark to find out the situation, and then make a decision at that time.

While the army was eating, Wei Laosi came back, and brought two other bandits with him.

When Wei Lao Si saw Qin Shuhuai, he immediately shouted, "It's not good, Lord Hou! It's not good!"

Meng Hu glared at him, "What's wrong, Master Hou is fine!"

Qin Shuhuai waved his hand at Meng Hu, and then asked Wei Laosi, "What's the matter?"

"Lord Hou, our brother, on the official road more than 30 miles away, I saw a large group of Tartar soldiers rushing here!"

It turned out that on the way back, Wei Laosi happened to run into these two bandits from Jinfengzhai who came to report to Qin Shuhuai. When they heard that the Tartar soldiers were coming, Wei Laosi followed them and showed them the way .

As soon as he said this, all the generals in the account immediately widened their eyes.

Everyone held the same idea, that is, the Tartars over at Santunying still knew that Qian'an was attacked!
Qin Shuhuai hurriedly asked, "How many people?"

A bandit brought by Wei Laosi said, "At least 5000 people!"

Qin Shuhuai frowned, and asked again, "What do you mean at least 5000 people? How many people at most?"

The bandit tilted his head and thought about it carefully, and said, "At most...it seems to be 5000 people. It's about 5000 people."

Qin Shuhuai was very puzzled.

If the Tartars knew about the attack on Qian'an, wouldn't they just send 5000 people?Does he look down on the martial arts alliance so much?

No, the Wulin coalition forces had won successive battles on three fronts before, and the Tartars could not have known about it. They would not despise such an opponent.

The only explanation should be that because of the attack of these bandits, the Tartars in Santunying really didn't know that Qian'an was attacked!They sent these 5000 people here, probably for other purposes, but they just happened to come here at this time.

This is really a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!
If these 5000 people can be eaten, the pressure on the martial arts coalition forces will be much less.

So Qin Shuhuai immediately gave the order, no more food!Keep [-] coalition troops to besiege the city, and another [-] coalition troops go to the northwest to trip the [-] Tartars!
After a day of defeat, the soldiers of the coalition army were holding back their anger. When they heard that there were not many Tartar soldiers coming to their door, they immediately became excited again.

When it comes to fighting the Tartars, they are more aggressive than fighting bandits or even the Demon Cult!why?Tartar is bad!How many people in our Central Plains have they killed?The decline of our Ming Dynasty to this point is mostly due to the Tartars!The leader can say, as long as we defeat the Tartars, our Ming Dynasty will definitely be prosperous again!

Well, the leader can't be wrong, since the day we heard his name, when did he miss it?
The army immediately set off and marched on an official road in the northwest direction.

When considering finding the Tartars, the Tartars were already more than 1 miles away, so the coalition forces set up an ambush seven or eight miles away from Qian'an.At the same time, out of the [-] allied forces besieging the city, another [-] were specially deployed in the west of the city to prevent the Tartars in the city from going out to rescue.

It was not yet completely dark at this time, and the tartars in Qian'an City saw the change of the Ming army and immediately reported it to Wu Dahai.

Wu Dahai summoned the generals to discuss, and felt that Qin Shuhuai might pretend to cross Qian'an to attack the Santun camp, in order to lure them to follow and then ambush them.Now that the Santun camp has been captured, and there are [-] elite soldiers plus [-] soldiers guarding it, even if Qin Shuhuai arrives at the Santun camp, he will definitely not be able to shake it.Therefore, if he really dared to go to the Santun camp, he would be looking for boredom, or even death.why?Now there are Dajin troops in Santunying, Qian'an, and Zunhua. If he goes deep alone, isn't he looking for death?
But Wu Dahai felt that Qin Shuhuai was a famous general anyway, so he shouldn't be so stupid, so he preferred the first one, that is, Qin Shuhuai wanted to lure him out of the city.

So he immediately gave the order to wait for the opportunity to follow, and the army waited and watched!
However, the inside and outside of the city were completely surrounded, and the elite factory guards of the coalition forces were riding around. His secret work could not even get out of the city. Where could he "wait for an opportunity" to follow him?Qian'an City is the city of the Ming army, there are secret roads out of the city, but the Ming army is stupid, not to guard the secret road?

The coalition forces rushed to seven or eight miles northwest of Qian'an City. The terrain there was relatively flat, and it was not considered a good place for an ambush in the strict sense.However, because it is night now, the terrain requirements are not high, as long as the coalition forces are far away from the official road and lie in the grass.Moreover, flat terrain is also good, that is, it is convenient for cavalry to charge.

After a simple plan, all the ministries immediately entered the ambush area and waited quietly for the Tartars to come.

This is a big deal!
