The report on the Zhenghong Banner Beile did not attract much attention from Nurhaci. He also believed that what Daishan said made sense. The northern military camp of the Jurchens needed Daishan, the steady and mature Beile, to be in charge of Zhong. The job of going to Dayanling to occupy the water source should be compensated for Yuetuo's losses. Anyway, Yuetuo could get support from Mangurtai and Daishan to the east and south. When Yuetuo received the order of khan from Nurhaci, he collapsed in the tent. He had long seen the sinister intentions of several uncles.

Yue Tuo thought that according to Nurhaci's power, he saw through the little tricks of Manguertai's cowardly battle, but he never expected that Nurhaci, who had been through many battles, could not even see such obviously mentally retarded plans of Manguertai. What Yue Tuo did not expect was that Amin Beile wanted to approach the main force of Zhenglan Banner to the Ponu Army. Amin knew that the Ponu Army was mainly using troops in the south and would not take the initiative to provoke an attack on the northern military camp of the Jurchens before the victory or defeat was decided on the southern battlefield, but he used a bitter plan to move the main force of Zhenglan Banner forward and avoid the water source of Dayanling.

Yuetuo's father, the Red Flag Bele Daishan, was even more accused of taking over the task of guarding the northern camp of the Jurchens, pushed his son to the front line, and even called it a loss of the Enanghong Banner to rest. Although Yuetuo could infer that the Possess Army had an ambush in Dayan Ridge, he could not resist the order after receiving the Nurhaci Khan order. In desperation, Yuetuo could only send 5,000 cavalry to Dayan Ridge in advance, and he led the main force to delay the departure for two days.

In late autumn, the cold air of Hathi Mountain is so cold that it is sparsely drifting in the gloomy sky. The thirsty earth is wrapped in sand and soil in the strong northwest wind, swallowing the sparse water. More than 100 cavalry wearing red-bottomed and white-edged helmets in red flags, leading more than 200 war horses toward the Dayan Lake northeast of Dayan Ridge. There are three equal numbers of Red Flag Scouts on both sides, twenty miles apart to investigate the safety of the main army behind them. The Jurchen Red Flag Pioneer 5,000 cavalry led by Meerezhen Guaerjiamurima to slowly move forward towards Dayan Lake.

Murima is the younger brother of Nurhaci's personal follower, Oboi Oboi. In the battle of attacking Jinzhou last year, he bravely attacked the city and was broken by the soldiers under the general Mao Wenlong, the Ming Dynasty general. Zhang Fei's face was shattered, and he forced himself to fall into it. Fortunately, the Jurchens valued military merits and did not attach as much importance to their image as the Ming Dynasty selected officials. Murima also had a good uncle Fei Yingdong. With his military achievements and Fei Yingdong's strong recommendation, he became the Jurchen Red Flag Mei Lezhen.

During the march, Murima drove out of the march formation by horses, flew past the rolling dust and smoke from the cavalry war horses, and looked at the northward Hashuwen Mountain. The dark ridges appeared and disappeared under the gloomy sky. Three thousand Jurchen cavalry in front lined up in three cavalry arrow formations during the march, five miles apart were separated by steadily on the flat Hasensumu grassland. Behind Murima, Aha, drove five hundred ox carts and thousands of sheep, and followed the footsteps of the army ahead under the protection of one thousand cavalry on both sides.

Murima, who knows the inner story of the Jurchens, looks down on the caution of Bele Yuetto of this flag. In Murima's opinion, even if the Pou Nu Army is powerful, it will not necessarily be beneficial if it is shot by the big wolf-tooth arrow in the hands of the Jurchen cavalry. Murima is very regretful that he has never fought with the Pou Nu Army. His ears are filled with too many myths of the Pou Nu Army, especially the Purple Army commander Zhang Ping'an Daming, the fox wolf commander of the Purple Army, and is also a magical medicine to treat the baby in Liaodong Ye Cry. If he can fight against the Pou Nu Army in Dayan Ridge this time, Murima is full of expectations.

Although the attack on the northern military camp of the Ponu Army was severely damaged, and none of the Enangu Army soldiers who entered the camp could return to the camp, and all five hundred Ponu Army soldiers were seriously injured. But Murima believed that the Jurchen cavalry was just ambushed in the Ponu Army camp, and if it were in the field, the Ponu Army might not be the opponent of the Jurchen cavalry. The Ponu Army captured many scouts of the Jurchens, but in the Qingsongling area of ​​Guangning, the Jurchens also captured many mountain troops of the Ponu Army. Although the captured Ponu Army soldiers would rather die than surrender, their equipment could also explain many problems.

Huang Taiji, the Beile of Zhengbai Banner, wrote a report specifically about the strange unit of the Po Nu Army. According to Huang Taiji's speculation, this is a unit specially trained by the grassland jackals for mountain combat. This unit is well-equipped with infantry and can disguise as weeds and shrubs in the mountains. In order to facilitate this unit to fight in complex terrain in the mountains, their armor, muskets, swords, and crossbows are all smaller and shorter than the equipment of the main combat soldiers of the Po Nu Army. This has also become the weakness of the Po Nu Army.

Huang Taiji specially found someone to test it. The range of the troops fighting in the mountains and forests of the Pou Nu Army was only 60 meters long, five meters shorter than the Jurchen wolf-toothed arrows. Their armor was not as wide as that of the soldiers in the main combat camp of the Pou Nu Army. Therefore, when Yue Tuo really expressed his concern in front of the Red Flags and Meere, Murima immediately grabbed the vocation of the Pioneer. In Murima's opinion, since everyone felt that it was very likely that the Pou Nu Army's troops were fighting in the mountains and forests of the Pou Nu Army in the Dayan Lake Plain, it was still a dilemma to win and lose.

Murima's idea of ​​fighting against the mountain troops of the Pou Nu Army on the plain of the Dayan Lake was smashed to pieces in the face of the skinny reality. Twenty miles away from Dayan Lake, Murima received a report from the scout that the frozen Dayan Lake was full of human feces, and there were many holes made by humans on the ice layer on the lake. A large amount of feces were poured into these holes. Scouts who grazed all year round certainly knew the grassland poisonous weeds and wolf poisonous flowers. They also found the wolf poisonous flowers in the hole.

It was not until Murima received the scout report that he had to put aside his thoughts of despising the Pou Nu Army. This time, Murima learned that the Fox Wolf Temple on the Powder Army was far-reaching. When Murima brought the Red Flag-in front army to Dayan Lake, he still managed to order his subordinates to pour the Dayan Lake river along the Dayan Lake to conduct a comprehensive investigation to see if there were any missing places in the Pou Nu Army. To Murima disappointed, all kinds of feces were everywhere in the place where there were rivers and the most poisonous wolf poisonous flower fragments on the grassland.

Seeing the water source that was destroyed by the Ponu Army, Murima was crying without tears. The Ponu Army was not using a plan at all, but forced the Jurchen army to use tactics and a preset battlefield to fight against it. This was the use of open conspiracy, even if the enemy saw through it, there was no way to avoid the war. Therefore, Murima was forced to send scouts to investigate the water source of Dayanling. In order to ensure that the small group of scouts were not eliminated by the Ponu Army, Murima organized the scouts into two 500-man brigades, which were only two miles apart from each other, and continued to walk upstream along the river.

When the scouts of the Enchanted Red Flag quickly entered the mountain, they found that the Pou Nu Army had less and less damage to the water source, just as if the Pou Nu Army had used up the feces in their hands. After they reported this discovery to Murima, Murima understood the intention of the Pou Nu Army to fight, which was to put the Jurchens into the mountains and then fight against them. So Murima led a thousand Red Flag cavalry toward Dayanling, and he wanted to personally explore the terrain here to wait for the Jurchen Red Flag Yuetobel to make the final decision.

On the way toward Dayan Ridge, he sent someone to send a message to Yuetuo that the water of Dayan Ridge could no longer be drunk, and he stationed all the vanguards on the south side of the Dayan Ridge Mountains. Murima said this and also ordered all the vanguards to march towards Dayan Ridge. Before entering the mountainous area, Murima carefully chose to camp on a mountainside outside the mountainous area. This was the upper reaches of the water source of Dayan Lake. The Dayan River was on this small hill less than 30 meters high. The Dayan River flowed through the foot of the mountain. The plains on the east, south and west were just a good place for the Jurchen cavalry to play their strengths.

Murima was a general who had gone through a big scene. When the Ponu Army wanted to plot against the Jurchen army, he would never let the grassland jackals realize their combat intentions. As long as the Enanguinian Red Flag occupy this water source, the wishful thinking of the Grassland jackals would fail. Murima ordered the Enanguinian Red Flag vanguard troops to camp on the north side of the mountain, and ordered a thousand combat troops to build camps on the northwest mountainside, and reserved the headquarters of the Enanguinian Red Flag headquarters on the north and south sides of the Dayan River water source. They cut down mountains, forests, trees nearby to build camps.

Murima was afraid that the Ponu Army would come to attack at night, so he asked his subordinates to take turns to monitor the direction of the Dayan Ridge in the north. In order to reduce the losses of the Jurchen soldiers, Murima ordered the Aha slaves of the army to go to the mountains and forests to cut down trees. He knew that although the Ponu Army killed the Han army's flag soldiers, he never killed the Jurchen soldiers. The Ponu Army's different approach to the Han people in Liaodong made the Han army flag soldiers on the front line envious of the lower-ranking slaves. Sure enough, three thousand Ahas entered the mountain to cut down trees and were not killed by the Ponu Army. Although seven hundred Aha disappeared mysteriously, the wood for the construction of the Red Flag Camp was ready to stop.

Just as the Jurchen Red Flag Pioneer troops were waiting for the arrival of their main force, the mountain troops of the Pou Nu Army, who had been forbearing for a long time, began to take the initiative to attack the Jurchen vanguard camp. Tian Peng waited for the Jurchen main force for a long time. Fortunately, Tian Peng had already had similar battlefield experiences. When Pou Nu City was besieged by millions of enemies, what he lacked most was to wait patiently for the opportunity for the enemy to have flaws. Therefore, when the Jurchen Red Flag Pioneer troops built a camp and cut down trees, Tian Peng was always reluctant to leave.

When the Forward Red Flag vanguard troops thought that the camp had certain defensive capabilities, Tian Peng took advantage of the opportunity that the Jurchens began to relax their vigilance to concentrate the main force of the mountain troops and carry out a night attack on the Forward Red Flag vanguard. This time, Tian Peng gathered 12,000 elite troops in the mountain troops. Their purpose of attacking the Forward Red Flag vanguard was not to eliminate the main force of the enemy, but to weaken the defensive capabilities of the Jurchen Forward Red Flag Army. Tian Peng's idea was beautiful, but the development after the battle began was far beyond Tian Peng's original plan. (To be continued)
