The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 256
Before setting off, Wen Erwen also specially called his two sons, and told them not to be greedy for meritorious service, and they must not be discovered by the Ming army before Obateji's troops.

People are old, the hero is short-tempered and the sons and daughters love each other. The two only remaining sons, the ninth is only 15 years old, and the sixth is only [-] years old. The old man is afraid that their newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so they lost their lives.

The two young men didn't take it to heart at all, and they agreed to their father, but they were thinking about following Xiaotaiji to kill the Ming army to get credit.

In the afternoon of the next day, the men and horses who practiced rituals in Manzhu returned to the settlement again. When they saw the frozen corpses of more than 2000 tribesmen, the soldiers under their command were crying everywhere.

They were not particularly angry, because Qingertai acted in accordance with the law of the grassland. Only the soldiers and reserve fighters were slaughtered here, and most of the other Mongolian tribes they defeated had done the same.

There are few, if any, dead bodies of women and children.Because accidental injuries were inevitable in the melee, the Karaqin cavalry could tell that they were not deliberately slaughtered by the Ming army.

They don't even have time to bury their relatives, and they actually don't have the ability to bury more than 2000 corpses in a short period of time. How easy is it to dig a pit when the ground is three feet frozen?
The scouts who searched for the traces of the Ming army quickly discovered the retreat route of the Ming army. The Ming army was too careless to even cover up their tracks. Manzhu Xili followed the large number of horseshoe prints and ruts in the snow and quickly caught up with the Ming army.

They didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by the Ming army, everyone followed cautiously from a distance.

The Karaqin cavalry were still hiding. How did they know that their first scout was discovered by the Ming army when they appeared, and Master Huang, who was marching slowly, was waiting for them.

The more than 500 people who practiced rituals in Manzhu did not concentrate their actions. They were divided into three echelons and moved forward in turn.Huang Sheng watched with a telescope all day without messing with them.

It was still early, and the Huang family had already camped.The Karaqin cavalry who followed from a distance also had to stop to rest. The Huang family horses surrounded the camp with chariots. The Mongolian soldiers dragged the slaughtered sheep from the troop carrier and immediately lit a bonfire to keep warm and roast the lamb.

People and horses who are full of pearls and rituals are not so lucky. They saw the Ming army camp burning a little bit from a distance, but they dared not light the fire. They hid next to the horse's belly and snuggled up to keep warm. They could only eat a few pancakes and snow. ,Oh shit!The more you eat, the colder you get.

Sleeping in the wild on a winter night in the prairie is no joke. Everyone is shivering from the cold. Manzhu Xili dare not let more than 500 people camp together, fearing that the target is too big and the Ming army will find out and it will be a pot.

His purpose was not to attack the Ming army, but to monitor him. He arranged everything so that he could quickly escape the Ming army's pursuit. He never thought about confronting the Ming army, so he didn't need to form a fist.

Manzhu Xili divided the only men and horses into three camps, one three miles apart. He believed that such an arrangement would be foolproof, and he felt at ease in the middle camp, shivering and suffering through the severe winter night.

The Huang family ate and drank a good night's sleep. The soldiers on duty at night were all in the armored chariots and couldn't freeze at all. The tents of the Huang family were sufficient, and the bonfire was not extinguished. The soldiers all trusted their comrades, so naturally they could Sleep peacefully.

It was after noon the next day that the Ming army slowly set up their camp and began to march.

Manzhu Xili, who secretly came to observe the movements of the Ming army, was drooling with envy when he saw the speed at which the Ming army set up camp. He had already experienced the power of the Ming army's carriages on the battlefield, and now he found that these carriages were more effective in setting up camps.

He secretly determined that he must kill this Ming army and seize their firecrackers to see what was going on, why they could keep fighting non-stop, and how far they could go.

Capture some more of the four-wheeled carriages of the Ming army to see what's wrong. Why can their carriages run so fast when they are so big?
There are too many good things in this Ming army, and the armor on them is not ordinary!No wonder they dared to attack the prairie for thousands of miles!
It's worth it to suffer a little bit by yourself. I followed the whole day yesterday, and the Ming army didn't notice it. Today I want to remind the boys not to be careless.

Manzhu Xili knew that his subordinates had suffered a night of crimes, so he began to promote and agitate, telling every soldier that this time, as long as everyone can follow the Ming army for ten days, they will make great contributions.

Many of the tired Karaqin warriors had runny noses from the cold night, and they were all wondering when this would end?

Now that there is a clear answer, as long as you endure another nine days, you can get ten taels of silver, and you can be promoted to a higher level, and everyone's spirits are immediately lifted.

They sucked the snot into their stomachs, cheered up and continued to follow the Ming army. This job was too simple. The Ming army did not walk fast, and the Karaqin cavalry could catch up as long as they jogged.

A short day passed in the blink of an eye, and the long, hard night came again.

The Karaqin cavalry saw that the Ming army had camped early again, and they also looked for a place slightly sheltered from the wind, wrapped in wool felt and slept shivering on the belly of their horses.

The camp of the Ming army was lively and lively. They seemed to be having a bonfire party. The aroma of roast lamb and wine wafted several miles away, and the Karaqin cavalry who ate cold pancakes felt colder and hungrier.

The Karakin people, who were tortured by the cold and gluttonous insects in the middle of the night, fell asleep in a daze at the early hours. They were not worried that the Ming army would suddenly run away. It was impossible for the carriage to outrun the war horse. .

In the morning, before dawn, the Huang family didn't even eat breakfast, so the whole army quietly rushed to the camp of the Karaqin cavalry, which had been observed by all the cavalry in turn.

This is the battle plan agreed upon yesterday while drinking and eating meat. The overall requirement is one word "quick!" Keep as many Karakin cavalry as possible to follow and give gifts.

Huang Sheng chose this time to attack because the sky was getting brighter and brighter, his team got enough sleep, and the pursuers who didn't even dare to light the bonfire could imagine how difficult the night would be for them.

This time is also the most sleepy state of the human biological clock. The Ming army suddenly attacked by cavalry. Those Harqin soldiers who were frozen all night and suddenly woke up may not even be able to hold their weapons, let alone open their bows and arrows. How interesting is the one-sided hunt!

The point is that those Harqin cavalry never thought that they would have been discovered by the Ming army a long time ago, and the Ming army should not have been mentally prepared to suddenly turn around and eat them.

Manzhu Xili is not an idiot, he has fought with Lao Tzu Oba for more than ten years, and now he is in his thirties.Mongolians have an innate ability to track prey on the grasslands, and they also have an instinctive response to danger.

The Han people really can't compete with them under the same conditions on the grassland. The fighters of the Huang family are not compared with the enemy in instinct, but in skill and discipline.

The Karaqin people divided the large team into three echelons, each team had more than 100 people three miles apart, the nearest echelon to Daming was seven miles away, and three groups of elite sentry horses went forward, each group of ten people, the nearest group was close to To the three miles of the Ming army.

The purpose of Yi Manzhu's ceremony is to locate the whereabouts of the Ming army. As long as the Ming army does not leave his surveillance, no matter how powerful they are, when the troops of father and brother arrive, they will be able to surround them.

It doesn't matter if you can't eat the Ming army, Dajin will also have reinforcements. After all, there are not many Ming soldiers and horses. They are isolated and helpless on the grassland, and they will become the prey of Harqin sooner or later.
