    Retreat.  "After Huang Shi finished saying this, several generals of the Guan Ning Army looked at him with incredulous expressions, thinking that they had heard wrong. Both sides seemed to have more than a thousand cavalry. The enemy and our troops were of similar strength, and Huang Shi was the famous "ten thousand people"  "The enemy" has always defeated more with less for several years. These generals of the Guanning Army were so happy to kill that they thought Huangshi would have the courage to advance and destroy the Houjin defenders, so they all asked for battle and wanted to share the pie. "I said to retreat.  .  "Huang Shi said it again in a calm tone and at the same time sent an order to recall Tan Ma. Although the opponent's number is not large, Huang Shi knows that since there are two flag masters there, they must be accompanied by Houjin elites. The opponent's slow movement indicates that there may be backup behind them.  This place is almost twenty miles away from Ningyuan. This rescue operation can be said to have been done with utmost kindness. Huang Shi summarized the situation at hand in a few short words. Guan Ningjun could see both sides as long as he calmed down.  The disparity in military strength. Huang Shi told several generals of Guan Ning's army bluntly: "There is a saying in the art of war: first seek invincibility for yourself, and then seek victory from the enemy.  Your loyalty and bravery are commendable. This general will definitely serve the emperor of tomorrow.  But now that the enemy is fierce, you will have a long time to come, so why should you show off your temporary ambitions?  I am determined to withdraw my troops and hope that all the gentlemen will do so.  " After hearing what Huang Shi said, they were not sure. Several Guan Ning Army generals were immediately discouraged. Besides, Huang Shi had promised to report their achievements to the generals, so they had nothing else to ask for. However, several Guan Ning Army generals also exchanged favors.  They all agreed with Huangshi's decision and agreed that Huangshi's decision was really wise and powerful. Retreating in front of the enemy is a more complicated tactical move than pursuing.  Although the enemy is still far away and has not yet been officially encountered, Huang Shi feels that he should not take it lightly when dealing with the Guan Ning Cavalry. The rescue operation has been very successful so far.  At that time, Huang Shi didn't think too much, but now his mood gradually calmed down. Huang Shi was worried that if the rookies like Guan Ning were delayed, they would panic and run away. Huang Shi didn't want these more than a thousand cavalry to be herded again.  When returning to Juehua, they were dragged down by Guan Guan Ning's army and retreated all the way. The victory they had won at the risk of their lives was lost. After the Jin army was still several miles away, it would take some time for Huangshi and his internal guards to investigate and judge the enemy's situation.  Each person has a horse and the road is not too far away from Ningyuan. After thinking about this, Huang Shi calmly said to several generals: "You retreat first.  Ben will personally adjourn it.  "After assigning the tasks, Huangshi asked Guan Ning's army to immediately retreat. He confided in several generals: "I think the Jiannu on the opposite side should be about three thousand in armor, of which about half are cavalry, but Jiannu is already at this moment.  be terrified.  Therefore, our army only needs to unite and retreat.  They will be so frightened and confused that they will not dare to pursue him.  After finishing speaking, Huang Shi paused for a moment to let them understand what he meant, and then smiled and said: "As long as you proceed slowly, Jiannu will not dare to attack. I will entrust my life to you."  " Several generals of Guan Ning shouted at the same time that they didn't dare, and then they separated and led their troops to retreat. Of course, the situation is not really as serious as Huang Shi said. It is only a few dozen miles from here to Juehua. It is not possible. Huang Shi can escape with his horse power.  . However, Huang Shi has always believed that a sense of achievement is very important in improving work enthusiasm. The sense of honor is indispensable in the army, so it is worthwhile to spend some words to cheer up the troops. Guan Ning's army retreated in an orderly manner.  Zhang Minghe, who had been staying by Huangshi's side, looked around and saw his own people, so he couldn't help but said angrily: "Sir, our Dongjiang Army is killing the enemy in front.  All the hard and tiring work after the retreat will be ours.  But let them, these wastes, share the work in vain.  " Huang Shi was about to explain when he saw a look of disapproval on Hong Antong's face and motioned to Hong Antong to share his opinion. Hong Antong immediately started talking: "As the saying goes, if there are three gangs of heroes, without these thousand Guan Ningjun, our Changsheng Island can't do it alone.  The strength of one hundred internal guards and Master Zhang's twenty cavalry is much smaller. Even if our Dongjiang soldiers fight bravely all the way, we will definitely lose a lot of men.  ¡± Seeing Huang Shi smiling and nodding with encouragement, Hong Antong began to speak more fluently: ¡°Adults often say: ¡®Helping others means helping yourself¡¯. They also often educate their subordinates: ¡®Kill the bear first and then consider dividing the meat¡¯.  The subordinates thought that if we let Guan Ning's army take the lead today or leave them alone, we would end up losing the battle and kill and injure countless brothers without telling them, and all the previous efforts would be wasted. That would be a big loss.  " Huang Shi said: "Brother Hong knows my heart.  "Hong Antong leaned forward on his horse and said with unconcealed satisfaction in his voice: "My lord, your compliments are all due to your past teachings.  " Seeing Huang Shi and looking at Zhang Minghe who suddenly understood, he also smiled and said: "Your Excellency is far-sighted and far-sighted.  " Huang Shi nodded heavily: "This battle?Brothers who have made great contributions should be regarded as number one in describing their merits.  "Although Huangshi has been supporting Zhang Minghe after the Battle of Nanguan, Huangshi has not lost any credit to him since Zhang Minghe made a sincere investment after the Battle of Fuzhou. Just now, Huangshi did not shy away from asking Hong Antong to say what he said.  Zhang Minghe naturally knew that he regarded Zhang Minghe as a direct general. After a few words of humility, he said no more. He couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. He felt lucky that he had chosen to join the Dongjiang Army. "Return.  After arriving at Changsheng Island, I will try to replenish three hundred fire guns for the Selection Camp." Huang Shi added with a smile: "But it can only be done once, and it can't happen again. Brother Zhang must be careful not to let something like this happen again.  " "I understand, sir, please rest assured.  " At this time, Guan Ning's army has left Changsheng Island, which is two miles away. Most of the internal guard reconnaissance cavalry have gathered a scout horse to send the latest report: "Reporting to your lord, more than a thousand cavalrymen are still moving forward slowly from here.  It looked like it was more than seven miles away but less than eight miles away. Jiannu also sent twenty reconnaissance cavalry to stop our army from exploring the horses.  Therefore, I don¡¯t know if Jiannu had any backup.  " "Well, let's wait a little longer.  "Huang Shi looked at the sun that was starting to set in the west. He planned to wait until the main force of Hou Jin came within five miles before starting to retreat. The hundreds of cavalry left here would hinder the reconnaissance work of the Hou Jin army. If his troops were attacked by several  After ten people, Jin Tanma was driven away, and his true and falsehood was suddenly exposed. Today's military operation can be called perfect, except for one small thing, which is that Zhao Yingong's sister and brother-in-law were not found. Zhao Yingong had pleaded before leaving Juehua.  Huang Shi hoped that he could take care of his sister and brother-in-law, but Huang Shi told him that the battlefield was changing rapidly and that the couple was a scholar and a weak woman, and it would be very difficult for Huang Shi to fight against the wolf-like enemy.  After getting vaccinated, it was better for him to be mentally prepared in advance. Zhao Yingong also expressed his understanding and clearly stated that he agreed that Huang Shi should focus on the overall situation and did not need to put himself in danger for his sister and brother-in-law.  I hope that I can meet his relatives by chance, which will always save two lives. But now it seems that this hope is very slim A few miles away, Mang Gurtai held his beloved iron shield tightly and looked solemn.  Huang Taiji had just advised him not to go first, but Mang Gurtai was worried that morale was too low, so he insisted on taking the lead to boost the troops' morale.  When Bao Yihuo retreated, Huang Taiji also asked someone to send an order to Zhengbai Banner to come here immediately for reinforcements. Just now, Huang Taiji helped Mang Gurtai make some calculations and concluded that Huangshi itself does not have so many cavalry backup on Changsheng Island.  They would not arrive so quickly. Their final conclusion was that Huangshi's troops, in addition to the direct fire fighting battalion and the half-mysterious new direct line battalion, could also pull out the seven battalions of Ningyuan and the four battalions of Juehua in the morning.  The Guan Ning Army in those two camps should have advanced rashly, but this time it should be the main force led by Huang Shi. If they really attack with all their strength, the ten or so Guan Ning Army field battalions and the two Dongjiang Army field battalions will have 25,000 soldiers.  About a thousand people. Such a huge force, which is about twice that of Hou Jin's armored soldiers, is certainly not something that Hou Jin's defenders can resist. But since the Ming army can pursue them so fast, they obviously don't bring many auxiliary troops.  It was judged that the Ming army was chasing lightly and did not bring any baggage except the armor of the soldiers, so it was able to march quickly to catch up with Hou Jin's rearguard. Therefore, the total force should be between 30,000 and 35,000, although Hou Jin was wearing armor.  There were only 12,000 soldiers, but Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji were not very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of Guan Ning's army, so they did not think that the Ming army had any strength advantage. The battle of Juehua proved that Guan Ning's army was not completely vulnerable.  However, the two Baylors believed that the Guan Ning Army of the eleven field battalions was only capable of holding on, and their ability to fight in the field was very poor. At most, they were on the same level as the unarmored soldiers, Baoyi and Mongolian herdsmen in Houjin. Although they did not come to this conclusion.  They are willing to fight unless the Houjin high-level leaders are all in trouble, otherwise they will never accept a battle with a high exchange ratio. What really worries the two Baylors is that among the tens of thousands of Ming troops, there are 3,000 elites directly under the jurisdiction of Huangshi.  It is obviously unrealistic to let Zhenglan Qi, the rear guard, fight against the three thousand Dongjiang Army. Even Zheng Baiqi and his two brothers are not sure.  Besides, Huangshi also brought more than 20,000 soldiers of the Guan Ning Army to help. With the Dongjiang Army as the core, the Guan Ning Army may not be so easy to fight.  Since Zheng Hongqi was also included, I couldn't say that I was definitely optimistic about Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji, so I had no choice but to resort to dragging the knife first.  If the weather can reduce the strength of the Ming army by 10% or 20%, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji will have the confidence to turn around and defeat the Ming army.  Therefore, the two Belles ordered to immediately set fire to all the castles, inns, and residences along the way. In short, any place that could avoid the cold must not be left for the Ming army Tonight, Zhenglan Banner and Zhengbai Banner slept together in tents. The Ming army across the street could not walkIt almost occurred to me that I didn¡¯t have any camping tools with me.  Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji's plan was to keep the walls clear and let the Ming army behind them drink from the northwest wind. If Huangshi realized what he was doing, he would obediently return to Ningyuan. If he insisted on pursuing them, his army would be half frozen to death in a few days.  Of course, although the knife-drag strategy is good, it also requires preparation time. If Huangshi rushes up now, all the plans will be in vain.  In order to create an atmosphere of confidence, Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai immediately commanded the Zhenglan flag to move slowly to the rear.  Huang Taiji's white flag was immediately hoisted to enhance the deterrent effect.  During this period, Jin Detective came to report like a horse and confirmed that the leading general on the opposite side was indeed Huang Shi. They also saw Huang Shi leading about a hundred cavalry blocking the entrance to the valley in front of Lianshan, so they were unable to detect the deployment of the Ming army behind the ridge.  I heard that Huang Shi only had a hundred people with him.  Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji exchanged glances, and they both saw confusion and worry in each other's eyes.  Mang Gurtai calculated with his fingers: "Five miles is about a safe distance. We might as well stop five miles away. If the Ming army has thousands of cavalry chasing us, we, the thousand cavalry, will have time to retreat." "The Ming army has time to retreat."  The range of the artillery is about one mile. Huangshi's infantry is running very fast and is probably already there. Well, his cannon is also running very fast. It's almost time." Huang Taiji ignored Mang Gurtai and thought of himself.  I don't know what I am planning.  After a while, he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Fifth brother, since you are bluffing, let's just bluff to the end." Mang Gurtai turned his head and looked at his younger brother who always likes to only speak half of his words and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "If you have something to say, tell me quickly.  I¡¯m listening.¡±¡­ After Huangshi stood at the mouth of the valley and looked to the north, the Jin army stopped five miles away.  Then hundreds of knights ran out.  Carrying two big flags, they galloped slowly until they stopped two miles away from Huangshi.  Huang Shi squinted at the Zhenglan banner and Zhengbai banner opposite and murmured: "Is there an ambush to lure me to attack? It's a pity that I don't have the strength at all." Hu Yining, who had already left, took seven or eight more  The guard turned back and said that Jin Guan was already responsible for leading Guan Ning's army to retreat and that he was not needed, so he came back to advance and retreat with Huang Shi.  Huang Shi couldn't force Hu Shenjiang to leave, so he let him stay.  At this time, Mang Gurtai on the opposite side was also looking over with his chin raised. He looked at the red flag flying at the mountain pass.  He let out a long breath: "It seems that the main force of the Ming army has not yet arrived. Huangshi is also waiting for reinforcements, otherwise he wants to induce us to attack. This is also his usual trick." "At least we must isolate his sentry and prevent him from observing our army.  False and true." Huang Taiji didn't dare to press forward when he saw Huang Shi.  It also gave me a sigh of relief. It seemed that the main force of the Ming army had not arrived yet.  Fang is also wary. It is always good to delay the retreat for even a moment to buy more time for the baggage team to retreat.  The two flag masters brought more than a hundred horse-powered cavalry. This force was small in number and flexible in action. Whether Huangshi attacked with the people around him or a large number of cavalry rushed out of the valley behind Huangshi, they were confident that they could handle it.  And being two miles away, the Ming army's artillery naturally posed no threat. Huang Taiji felt that doing so could not only boost morale, but also make it more difficult for Huang Shi, who had always reacted cautiously, to make a decision.  Huang Shi saw that the two flag owners and their guards on the opposite side had dismounted. With a move of his hand, the Changsheng Island guards also jumped off their horses and stood on the ground with their coach.  "Let's stand still for a while and then we should run for our lives." Huang Shi laughed softly to Hu Yining, Zhang Minghe and Hong Antong beside him. The three of them also chewed lightly. Everyone knows that it is impossible to deceive the enemy for too long. Sooner or later,  If someone will be sent to further test the truth, then it is time for Huangshi to leave.  Huang Shi estimated that Guan Ning's army should have gone far away, so he continued to give instructions: "When they send the exploration horses to approach, we will collectively mount our horses and walk slowly across the ridge and then flee north. Jiannu's courage has been exhausted, and he is afraid that he will fall into our army's trap."  We will conduct a careful investigation and wait for them to complete the search. We will probably be back to Ningyuan soon." After Huang Shi finished speaking, the people around him also laughed, and then quickly spread the order. The two armies faced off again two miles apart.  After a while, Huang Taiji turned around and said to Mang Gurtai: "Our baggage should have been withdrawn far away. The enemy is also hesitant. In a while, when our people start burning the surrounding houses, Huang Shi will be able to see through the reality, so we still see it."  "Okay, just leave it at that." Mang Gurtai nodded slowly with a solemn expression, and the two turned around to mount their horses and leave. When they saw the Hou Jin army on the opposite side starting to mount their horses, Huang Shi also waved his troops to mount their horses immediately and prepare to run away.  Just when Huang Shi, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji were all planning to retreat, they suddenly heard a woman's scream coming from the west "Help! General Huang, help!" Huang Shi followed the voice and looked over to wait for him to do it.  After understanding the situation.  I was so frightened that I screamedThe name was Zhao Yingong¡¯s eldest sister.  In the wilderness less than a mile away from the official road, she was having an affair with a man, and there was someone tied up next to him, who seemed to be Miss Zhao Er.  The wind carried Miss Zhao's shouts intermittently.  This morning, Miss Zhao left with her husband.  The second girl Zhao first went to report to her brother, but Zhao Yingong was busy with official duties and could not go out to chase. So the second girl Zhao hurriedly chased after her on horseback to call her sister and brother-in-law back.  There were many infantrymen in the two battalions of the Ming army, so Miss Zhao Er asked around all the way and luckily caught up with them.  While she was trying to persuade her sister to go back, the Ming army in front had already retreated.  The two sisters and Zhao Yingong¡¯s eldest brother-in-law escaped among the defeated soldiers. Their land and horses were also taken away by the defeated soldiers, so they found a hole in the valley to hide.  However, unfortunately, Zhao Yingling was discovered by a Hou Jin. His eldest brother-in-law was killed on the spot in order to protect them. The sisters were also tied up and prepared to be taken away.  When the Ming army came to kill just now.  The wrapper quickly dragged the two sisters back into the cave and stopped them to prevent them from moving around.  Huang Shi had been worried about the Jin army's counterattack, so he did not let the Ming army carefully clean the battlefield. As a result, although these three people were right under Huang Shi's nose, they were never discovered.  The bagman randomly stuffed a piece of cloth into the mouths of each of the Zhao sisters, and then focused on the Ming army outside.  Therefore, it was not discovered that Miss Zhao had been doing little tricks secretly.  After a long period of hard work.  Miss Zhao finally managed to untie the rope on her feet and get the piece of cloth out of her mouth. Then she rushed forward and bit the wrapped hand hard until blood dripped.  When the bag was startled, Miss Zhao jumped up and rushed out of the cave to call for help. This was the first woman's scream that Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, Huang Shi and the people around heard.  Although he didn't know the specific details, Huang Shi quickly saw the general situation. He snorted, shook his head and said to himself: "I really don't know how to evaluate the people of the Zhao family. I don't know whether they are brave or stupid!  " Huang Shi used to think that Miss Zhao Er was a quick-moving person, but this time she was too ignorant.  On a dangerous battlefield, a woman simply comes to die for nothing.  If Huang Shi and Miss Zhao exchanged places to face her sister, Huang Shi would not dare to go out to search even though he was anxious, so he could only let her try his luck.  The result of searching can only be to take another life.  After jumping out of the hole, Sister Zhao screamed at the top of her lungs.  While running towards Huangshi, the bundler quickly picked up Miss Zhao Er, who was still tied tightly, onto her shoulders without grabbing her, and ran in the opposite direction.  When Sister Zhao turned around and saw this scene, she turned around and chased after her, not caring that her hands were still tied.  The coated man had a person on his shoulders, so it was naturally unfavorable for her to run forward. Zhao Sister ran forward for two steps and bumped into the three of them, causing them to roll into a ball on the ground.  "General Huang, help!" Sister Zhao shouted with all her strength for the last time, then bit her sister's clothes and refused to let go.  In a blink of an eye, Hong Antong recognized the person opposite him. In his desperation, he didn't care about the outsiders and shouted to Huang Shi: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are going to save people. Please go first." Seeing that Huang Shi did not act immediately, Hong Antong  He shouted again: "My lord, even if you don't worry, my subordinates will fight first, but this life will definitely ensure that Mrs. Zhao returns safely." While Hu Yining on the side was still stupid, Zhang Minghe had already seen something about Hong Antong and Huang Shi.  He also raised his hand towards Huang Shi: "Your Majesty, I have been practicing equestrian skills since I was a child. I would like to go with Mr. Hong Qian to rescue people." "No matter how good your equestrian skills are, you can't run fast with a horse carrying two people." Huang Shi glanced a few hundred meters away.  The three people on the ground then turned around and looked at the Houjin Cavalry to the north. The more than a hundred Houjin Cavalry were motionless. Huang Shi felt a cold gaze piercing from the opposite side, spying on his every move.
