The advantages of the Hu Ben Army were finally brought into play, and the role played by this force at the beginning of its establishment began to appear. This is Zhu Cixuan's special combat philosophy.

Under the leadership of Zhan Yunpeng, the Hu Ben Army, together with Sun Chuanting's more than 1,600 cavalrymen, totaled more than 2,600. They rushed into the tail of Huang Taiji's team. After a fight, before Huang Taiji could react, they turned their horses and ran away.

By the time Huang Taiji led his troops to arrive, the tail of his team was already in turmoil. The troubles of the Hu Ben Army caused him to lose at least two or three hundred people.

This made Huang Taiji furious: "The Ming people are treacherous, shameless and despicable!"

That's not all, Huang Taiji hated this Hu Ben Army very much. But you just can't do anything to him. He wanted to organize a major battle, set up a net of heaven and earth to surround the Hu Ben Army, and annihilate them all.

However, the Hu Ben Army was not an ordinary army. They came and went without a trace, and they did not easily disturb them. Instead, they occupied the right time, place and people, and accidentally caused harm to the Qing army.

When you look back and want to seek revenge on them, the Hu Ben Army has long been galloping, and it has disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This is the territory of Shaanxi and the Ming Dynasty. No one is more familiar with the terrain of this place than them. Zhan Yunpeng has more than a thousand local Qin troops under him. These people are all native Shaanxi people.

They know how to set up traps, and where ambushing is beneficial. Zhan Yunpeng only asks for one point, not to annihilate many enemies at once. Even if you kill one, it's fine, but the premise is that you must first ensure the safety of the Hu Ben Army.

In other words, every time the Hu Ben Army takes action, the first thing they consider is its own retreat route.

It’s not that Zhan Yunpeng is afraid of death, but that he knows that only by preserving his own vitality can he have the opportunity to annihilate more Qing soldiers.

Moreover, there must be no one retreat route. There must be a second or even a third plan, because Zhan Yunpeng knows Huang Taiji's power well. He is afraid that after being deceived for a long time, Huang Taiji will come up with a counterattack.

Huang Taiji retreated northward, and the Hu Ben Army followed. They were always able to seize the opportunity between the Qing army and kill with one blow. Huang Taiji's army suffered losses every day. At least a dozen people, at most hundreds of people.

After more than ten days, they lost more than a thousand people.

The strategy of erosion made Huang Taiji miserable. He was already deeply trapped in the quagmire of Shaanxi and could not extricate himself. If he continued like this, when he returned to Shengjing, he would probably have suffered more soldiers killed by the Hu Ben Army along the way than those under the city of Lanzhou.

This is Zhu Cilang's revenge plan. The Hu Ben Army's cavalry came and went without a trace, often occupying favorable terrain and launching ambushing the Qing soldiers.

Huang Taiji's 100,000 army has become a living target. It is impossible for you to take the 100,000 army with you. It is impossible, all of them gathered together to retreat at once. There are always troops left alone, and the Hu Ben Army is the troops left alone.

This is like a grassland hunting game. Hundreds of ferocious buffalo herds make the lions dare not act rashly. However, the lions keep following the buffalo. When they encounter lonely cubs or old buffaloes, the lions will rush up and tear them apart.

The Hu Ben Army adopted this tactic, and you can't find him at all. They were in the east and west. Every time they appeared, they caused huge losses to the Qing soldiers.

Some soldiers who were patrolling were inexplicably shot to death. Some soldiers who were patrolling the night were suddenly shot to death by a row of muskets.

When the Qing soldiers reacted and started chasing, they had already escaped without a trace. If you don’t give up and continue chasing, you will be even more unlucky. Many times you will fall into the traps they set, leaving you without a return.

After all, Zhan Yunpeng brought more than 2,000 people, not many.

But Huang Taiji, a 100,000 army, could not be carried around with him at any time, but Zhan Yunpeng could.

Huang Taiji had thought about deliberately revealing a flaw or deliberately setting up a trap to let the Hu Ben Army take the initiative to take the bait.

But the Hu Ben Army was like a worm in Huang Taiji's belly. Every time the trap set by Huang Taiji could be easily seen through by them. So much so, Huang Taiji began to suspect that there was a traitor among his prince.

In fact, Huang Taiji was guessed correctly. The 100,000 troops went to war, which consumed a lot of food and grass. Huang Taiji went south from Jingtai Town and grabbed the city of Lanzhou.

The army had to have a meal, so there were a large number of gangs in the army and the food they robbed. Among these Han gangs, many people from the Hu Ben Army were mixed up.

Therefore, Huang Taiji's every move was under their surveillance. Every time Huang Taiji wanted to set up a trap to lure the Hu Ben Army to take the bait, the Hu Ben Army could always see through it in time.

This made Huang Taiji furious, and he overturned the table more than once. Today, dozens of soldiers died or hundreds of military horses were killed tomorrow. But you can't do anything to the other party.

"I, I will not be a human being if I don't kill all these Hu Ben Army!" Huang Taiji slapped the table angrily, his eyes full of anger.

Even if you are so angry, you have no good idea.

On this day, Huang Taiji's Eight Banners Army finally withdrew from Shaanxi. However, along the way, the soldiers they lost to the hands of the Hu Ben Army had reached 4,700, and nearly 5,000 died at the hands of the Hu Ben Army.

Huang Taiji was almost going crazy, with 5,000 people, and he didn't die even if he had fought against Lanzhou City. After quitting Shaanxi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he arrived at this vast Gobi Desert, the Hu Ben Army would have no choice but to do anything to him.

However, Huang Taiji was too naive to think. Since Zhu Cilang wanted to make you pay the price of bleeding, how could he give you a bargain?

The army always had to rest and sleep, and finally broke free from the quagmire of Shaanxi. The soldiers gradually relaxed their guard, but the camp was still on guard tonight.

Fortunately, the Hu Ben Army has nowhere to hide in the vast Gobi Desert. This time, they shouldn't be disturbing.

At night, Du Du, the leader of the Inlaid Red Flag Banner, and his subordinates took a rest in the camp. In order to prevent the elusive Tiger Army from appearing, Du Du specially ordered the soldiers to be energetic tonight, especially outside the camp, and more personnel were sent.

However, at night, Du Du, the owner of the Inlaid Red Flag, lay down to rest. His days of fatigue quickly made him snore loudly.

Outside his tent, the four guards were also drowsy. They had to hurry during the day and watch at night, so naturally they were tired.

Except for the patrol troops on the outer defense line of the military camp, the soldiers in the camp were already asleep. It is impossible, the Tiger Army of the Ming Kingdom could emerge from the ground.

But everyone puts their weapons under the pillow, and once there is movement on the outside, they can wake up in time to fight back.

No one noticed that a few people who were also dressed as Qing soldiers took advantage of the night to touch the tent of Du Du, the leader of the Red Flag.
