The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 156
Xu Da's Central Route Army has never been found. Even if the Yuan Army made more than one large-scale investigation, no trace of the Ming Army was found.

At this moment, Xu Da led the Central Route Army to the vicinity of Helin. The Yuan army was dispatched, and the movement of the whole army was too great, and the Central Route Army also got relevant information.

Facing the Yuan army coming out in full force, Xu Da quickly issued an order to retreat.

Originally an army of 5 people, now there are only about [-] elite soldiers and good generals left. Xu Da didn't want to take risks.

Before he was sure of winning, Xu Da still wanted to wait for Li Wenzhong's army from the west to sneak over, and the right way was to successfully annihilate the vital forces of the Yuan army on the prairie.

The middle route army, who was retreating quickly on horseback, rushed for a long distance, and saw that the direction of the Yuan army was not facing their own army.

Xu Da reined in his horse and meditated quietly.

Lan Yu and other generals also gradually came to Xu Da, discussing countermeasures.

"General, the Yuan army is dispatched in full force. It seems that they are not targeting us, but there may be conspiracy and tricks. We must guard against it. It is safe to continue to retreat."

"Not necessarily. Since the Yuan army is dispatched, judging from the direction of its march, it must not be far from the headquarters of the Yuan army. Wealth and wealth are in danger. No matter what conspiracy or tricks they have, we will go straight to their lair."

"By defeating Helin, there is still a high possibility of capturing Emperor Zhaozong."

"Wait, wait until we find out the real situation of the Yuan army and the purpose of its troop deployment. Others should be careful, and it's not too late to prepare for any possible plots and tricks set up by the Yuan army."

"Yes, follow the general's order."

Xu Da's central army rested a little on the prairie far away from the Yuan army, waiting for news from the scouts.

One by one, spies were sent by Xu Da to the vicinity of the Yuan army to observe the movement of the Yuan army and take on the role of spying on the reality of the Yuan army.

"Be careful, you can't go any further, just this dirt bag, put the horse on the back, and have the binoculars in hand, so don't take any risks."

"Yes."

After the leading scout explained this, he quietly climbed up to the top of the slope, and raised his binoculars to spy on the Yuan army.

The same scene appeared in many soil bags, but the Yuan army sent not many scouts, they just acted as a warning, allowing the headquarters to have time to prepare.

Nearly [-] volunteers marched forward along the route, flags passing by one by one, and the scouts were not impatient at all, but only passed the information of the Yuan army to the rear through the brothers on the side every once in a while.

I don't know how long it took, a group of people appeared in the Yuan army.

It is different from ordinary sergeants, and it is very different from generals with personal guards.

A carriage loaded with Luanjia passed by slowly, and a large number of guards of honor carrying yellow umbrellas, sun and moon flags, and dragon and phoenix flags surrounded them.

The standards of the guards are also very high, obviously different from ordinary people.

The scouts didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked someone to pass the news to Xu Da in the rear.

"Report, there is news from the scouts in front that there is a Luanjia suspected to be Emperor Yuan in the Yuan army. Report to the general to know."

"Understood, continue to investigate, make sure to find out the reality of the Yuan army, and then carefully check whether the Yuan army shows any signs of migration, and whether there are old, weak, women and children accompanying them."

"Yes."

The orderly passed the order from Xu Da to the scouts in front to know.

The scout got the order and continued to lie behind the dirt bag, observing the Yuan army.

Until the Yuan army was completely out of the range of the scouts, they also passed the news to Xu Da to know, and quietly followed.

"Report, the Yuan army has gone far away, there are nearly [-] troops, and no old, weak, women or children have been found."

"Understood, you go down first!"

The messenger left, Xu Da said to the generals gathered beside him.

"Now it seems that the Yuan Army doesn't seem to be coming for us, what do you think?"

Sapphire and a group of generals rode on their horses, thinking quietly.

Xu Da thoughtfully took out the map, and used it as a reference for all the soldiers and himself, gathered around the map, thinking about the purpose of the Yuan army's trip.

Soon, one person had an idea and said to the map.

"General, please see that the marching direction of the Yuan army is near the Tula River. Since it is not moving and fleeing, it is going to Liaodong for another purpose."

"We are not there, so there is only one truth. Another group of people appeared in that place, and the Yuan army needs to go all out. Maybe the army led by Cao Guogong was detected by the Yuan army's scouts, and it is unknown."

As soon as he opened his mind, the eyes of all the generals, including Xu Da, lit up.

"That's right, counting the days, it's really possible, but Cao Guogong came too soon, there are still doubts."

"There is no doubt about this. In the previous battle, the Yuan army lost more than [-] troops. The nearly [-] troops that passed today must be the last strength that the Yuan army mobilized. There are no obstacles along the way. It is still possible to arrive at this time."

"General, the last general thought that he should immediately lead the army to follow. If Cao Guogong had arrived, the Yuan army would be unable to hold back under the attack from front and back, and this would become history."

"That's right, since Emperor Yuan is in the army, if he is captured at that time, it will be a great achievement, and it will save the army of the East Road."

Having said that, Sapphire has a different opinion.

"General, according to the general, if we go back from the direction of his march, we will be able to find the old lair of the Yuan army. We have traveled all the way, and the distance is not far from Helin. Destroying his lair may not be inferior to the credit of capturing the Yuan emperor."

Xu Da thought about it carefully, and what he said made sense.

Although the foreign military orders will not be accepted, the established strategy agreed in the Yuwu Building is that the Central Route Army attracts firepower, the East Route Army smuggles people, and the West Route Army restrains them.

Let Li Wenzhong's East Route Army go head-to-head, and if the car overturns, it will be difficult to explain.

"Lan Yu listened to the order and ordered your department to lead 1 horses to follow the path of the Yuan army. If you find the place where the Yuan army's old nest is, you are allowed to do it cheaply."

"The rest of us will follow the Yuan army with this general. If Cao Guogong is there, under the attack from front to back, they will surely win the battle. From then on, the north will have no worries."

"As ordered."

After receiving the order, Lan Yu led Xu Da's central army with 1 horses to march towards the Yuan army, and the rest of the army followed the Yuan army.

Followed all the way, of course he didn't dare to get too close, it was a long way from the Yuan army.

"Report, there is news from the scouts that there is a large army ahead. The Yuan army is divided into three groups and is fighting with it."

"Sure enough, Duke Cao has arrived. Where is Emperor Yuan?"

"It seems to be in the Chinese army."

"Pass down our military order, the whole army will go out and take the central army directly. Those who capture the Yuan Emperor will be promoted to three ranks, rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and a thousand acres of land. Take other generals as an example."

As soon as Xu Da's military order came out, all the soldiers were excited. The reward for capturing Emperor Yuan was too generous, and no one could be an exception.

They rushed forward screaming like chicken blood.
