The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 262 The Weird Tracks of the Tartars

The leader of the reinforcements of the Qing army from Gaizhou was Shuo Tuo, the grandson of Dabeile Daishan, the head of the four major belors in the Qing Dynasty.Shuo Tuo was young, and his grandfather was the head of the four Baylors, so he was always arrogant.

And the one guarding Gaizhou is his father, Adali, both of whom have the same ambitions and talents.Of course, Daishan himself is also incompetent, otherwise he would not have been exposed to the scandal of having an affair with a woman of his own father, Nurhachi.

It can be said that none of the three grandparents has a real character.

After Shuo Tuo left Gaizhou with [-] reinforcements, after walking for a while, he thought again: "Fei Yanggu is disrespectful to me on weekdays. It's just because his master is Huang Taiji. I saw that my nostrils were all up to the sky, and I looked like a villain. I didn’t expect that he would ask me for help, but I was not in a hurry to save him. There is a saying in the Han people that it is better to give charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. I And when he can't bear it any longer, I'll lead my troops to arrive, and then I must make sure that this servant is grateful to me."

After telling the left and right confidants about his thoughts, the left and right were all in favor. Shuotuo was even more triumphant, and ordered the whole army to slow down. He completely forgot what his father told him to hurry to Liaoyang.

When Shuo Tuo came like this, the Jiang Family Army Youjun who had been waiting on the road to deal with him became anxious.

Shanjia, the deputy general of the right army, hurried over and said in a loud voice: "General, why did these dog tartars come so slowly? Didn't the scouts say that they had already left Gaizhou City?"

The leader of the right army, Bai Shan, frowned and couldn't figure it out. Of course, he never imagined that the reason why the Qing army was so slow was that the leader of the army wanted to retaliate against the leader of Liaoyang, Fei Yanggu, for deliberately delaying time.

However, Baishan was always calm, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Just let the scouts explore again. Gaizhou is more than 100 miles away from Liaoyang. No matter how slow the Tartars go, there will always be a time. The original plan remains unchanged."

Shanjia thought about it for a while, and took the order, turned around and left.

It is said that Shuo Tuo led a large group of people to stop and go, and it was already dark when they walked for fifty miles, so he simply ordered to camp in the same place and leave at dawn tomorrow.

Although some generals were dissatisfied, but they were the chief generals, so they didn't dare to say anything, they could only obey the orders.

The Qing army's encampment made Baishan and Shanjia suffer. The two waited and waited for the Qing army to come. They even thought that the Qing army smelled something dangerous, so they took a detour.

But after much deliberation, it seems impossible.They traveled all the way in secret, and they didn't meet anyone on the way.A few hunters who came across were tied up and taken with the army, so it was impossible to leak the news.

Just when the two were puzzled, the scout hurriedly came to report: "General, the Qing army has set up camp ten miles away from our army."

What the hell?Hearing this news, Baishan and Shanjia were at a loss, not sure what the Qing army was doing.This emergency is like putting out a fire, but he ran to save people slowly, and even set up camp and refused to leave. What was going on in the head of the general of the Qing army?

Bai Shan couldn't figure it out, and Shan Jia couldn't figure it out even more. The two of them absolutely couldn't think that this incident was only caused by Shuo Tuo's private thoughts.

After the two discussed it, they decided that Baishan would take people to reconnaissance in person, and Shanjia would reorganize the troops and wait for orders at any time.

After the agreement was made, Baishan lightly drove away, and led a hundred guards on horseback towards the direction of the Qing army's camp.

The place where the Qing army camped was in an open field, and there were almost no hills and highlands around it.This is also the first choice for general camping, because if the camp is set up in an open field, the field of vision will be wide, and even if the enemy attacks the camp, there will be nowhere to hide, which will help the defenders find the enemy in the first place.

At this time, the night is full, and the moonlight is not very bright tonight.

Bai Shan and the others hid the war horse in a dense forest and left people to guard it. They led dozens of personal guards and sneaked towards the Qing army camp without making a sound.

Three miles away from the camp, no scouts from the Qing army were found.These personal guards under Baishan were also dispatched from Jiangchuan's personal guard camp, and all of them were true warriors.

After searching around for a while, it was true that the Qing army's dark sentry rangers were not found.

After thinking for a while, Bai Shan said in a low voice: "It seems that the Tartars didn't find our traces. There are obviously other reasons why they marched slowly and did not set up camp. You continue to reconnaissance and pay attention to the movements in the enemy camp. "

The personal guards led away, one by one, quietly escaping into the night.

After an incense stick of time passed, the guards came back to report one after another, saying that they did not find anything abnormal in the Qing army camp, and a particularly courageous guard lurked near the Qing army camp, and even heard thunder inside. The sound of snoring clearly showed that the Qing army had already fallen asleep.

After Baishan synthesized the information, he pondered for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell General Shanjia to lead the army to come at night, with a man in his head and a horse wrapped around his hooves. When we came, there was a small hill Remember? Let General Shanjia hide the army in the dense forest above this hill."

One of the guards said: "General, this hilly mountain road is not a must for the Tartars. They have no reason to abandon the official road and take the hilly mountain road."

Bai Shan smiled slightly and said: "Then find a way to let them fly away. I observed the sky just now, and there must be heavy rain tonight. So we have to send people to dig the official road overnight. When the heavy rain comes, the official road will become muddy." .Even if the Tartars don’t want to take the hilly and mountain roads.”

"But general, what if the Tartars stand still and wait for the heavy rain to stop before leaving?" one of the guards asked again.

"It doesn't matter. If my prediction is correct, General Ran Wu has already succeeded. The Tartars of Liaoyang have no reinforcements, and they can't last long. Under the fierce attack of the Lord's Central Army, the Tartars of Liaoyang can't see the reinforcements coming to rescue them." , Morale will inevitably collapse. When the Lord has taken Liaoyang, these Tartars will not be a threat at all. The order given to us by the Lord is to block the reinforcements of the Tartars, not to annihilate them. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we need to adapt to it. And this rain won't last long, and the Tartars will definitely break out of camp tomorrow and move on."

Bai Shan always likes to teach these personal guards, hoping that there will be more generals among them, so he took the trouble to explain.

"Your subordinate has been taught!" All the guards bowed their hands and thanked the general for his advice, and they turned around to accept the order and left.Baishan himself took the rest of the people to continue to monitor the movement of the Qing army.

　The third is coming.
