Daming was not in a hurry and walked slowly along the way as if he was celebrating a birthday.
The Jiannu side was in trouble, and they were very anxious. After all, the Ming Dynasty was attacking on two fronts, east and west, so the Ming Dynasty could slow down, but they couldn't slow down.
After receiving the news, Huang Taiji brought his men to Dongningwei.
They were waiting, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army, wanting to take advantage of the situation and then give the Ming army a severe blow.
But the facts were beyond expectations, the speed of the Ming army was very slow.
Huang Taiji stood in front of the table, his eyes sweeping over the brothers who came with him, and said slowly, "The Ming Dynasty is so slow this time. What do you think?"
"This is clearly a strategy to lure the enemy!" Manggurtai said angrily, "Only 15,000 people were sent to the Eastern Front. To put it bluntly, it's to lure us so that we don't dare to send anyone to the Western Front."
"This time we came here in a hurry, but they didn't come. They were just stalling for time, making us afraid to move, and then developing the situation on the western front."
After this statement came out, many people nodded in agreement.
In their hearts, the Ming Dynasty did not have the courage to go to war with them, especially in the wild.
Isn’t the Ming Dynasty afraid of being defeated? Even if the Ming Dynasty is not afraid, they don’t think the Ming Dynasty can win.
When defending the city, the Ming Dynasty had artillery, which was very effective. However, after leaving the city, the artillery was not so effective.
Especially since artillery was difficult to move in the field and slow to load, the Ming army had little chance of fighting back when the cavalry charged forward.
"So this is the trick of the Ming Dynasty. It just makes us afraid to move!"
"We can't wait any longer," Daishan said. "If we wait any longer, the situation will get out of control. We must take the initiative and find them. Maybe they'll run away after seeing us."
After these words came out, everyone nodded.
If it was to lure the enemy, it was very likely that they would run away after our side sent out people.
However, no one believed that the Ming army could escape. They had cavalry on their side, and if they really caught up with them, the Ming army would not be fast enough.
If the Ming army could retreat, they would probably be hunted down and killed by him. This was Huang Taiji's thought.
Huang Taiji said directly: "In that case, if they don't come, then we will go."
This was considered a consensus, and the army was quickly dispatched and headed directly out of the city.
Both sides are moving forward, so this battle is naturally inevitable.
When they reached a certain distance, the scouts of both sides began to encounter each other. The scouts' stranglehold battle was always very brutal.
As news continued to come back, the expression on Sun Chuanting's face began to become solemn.
Although Sun Chuanting did not think he could lose and did not take the Jiannu seriously, he could not be careless when the war really broke out.
Sun Chuanting was well aware of the consequences of underestimating the enemy.
"Report!"
With a shout, the scout in front turned back.
The scout came directly to Sun Chuanting and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, a large Jiannu army has been spotted thirty miles ahead!"
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "I'll report back after further investigation."
"Understood!" The scout rode away again.
Sun Chuanting glanced at the people around him and said, "Here we are. We must fight beautifully this time and let the Jiannu know how powerful we are! Lure them over here and kill them in the wild!"
Everyone nodded, full of confidence.
Early the next morning, the two sides continued to move closer.
The fierce fighting among the scouts had stopped because each side could now see the other's army.
Sun Chuanting sat on his horse, looked at the other side and said, "Looking at this, there are 20,000 cavalrymen."
"No, it can't be that few." Liu Xian said on the side: "They must have ambushed us and are preparing to attack us when the battle starts. After all, we are relatively few in number. When that time comes, they want to catch us off guard."
"You wish!" Lu Xiangsheng snorted coldly.
In the opposing army.
Huang Taiji sat on his horse, looking at the opposing Ming army, and said with a sneer, "They didn't run away. It seems these people really have confidence. The army from the capital is extraordinary."
This seems to be a compliment, but in fact the tone is full of sarcasm.
Obviously, Huang Taiji felt that the people on the other side were seeking death and were arrogant, and he had to teach them a lesson.
Daishan, who was beside Huang Taiji, frowned and said directly, "It's better to be careful, lest the other party set an ambush."
"I've already sent people there," Manggurtai said. "The scouts got behind them, and there's no reinforcements behind them. In other words, they only have 15,000 men. The left and right wings have been deployed, but no ambush has been discovered."
After hearing this, Daishan felt relieved and nodded slightly.
As long as there is no reinforcement, these 15,000 people in front of us are literally just a dish on the table.
Huang Taiji said: "They have set out, and it seems that they want to take the initiative to attack."
Following Huang Taiji's words, the Ming army indeed deployed their camp, and a square formation was formed in front of Huang Taiji and his men.
Three rows of soldiers were spread out horizontally, and one could see at a glance that the cavalry were on the left and right wings.
There were also quite a few carriages in the army formation, which looked strange, like chariots.
Cheying, this thing is not unfamiliar, but its power is just so-so, and it is not used in this way.
