Just as Amin and Dai Shan were discussing how to deal with Yang Feng, Yuan Chonghuan, who was stationed in Daling River Fort, and Zhou Xian, the guard of Daling River Fort, could not sleep at all. The Tartars outside the city were so powerful that even the Ming army on the top of the city would not be unaware of it. In the end, Yuan Chonghuan decided to send several teams to the city to investigate. An hour later, an astonishing news came.

"What? The Tartars' camp outside the city is empty, and the Tartars have left?"

"Yes!" Ye Bushan, who was sweating profusely, also had a puzzled expression. "One hour ago, the villain and several brothers risked their lives to sneak into the Tartar camp and found that the Tartar camp was missing except for less than a thousand Tartars and some auxiliary soldiers in the huge Tartar camp."

"The Tartars are gone, where can they go?" Yuan Chonghuan stood up.

"Are you sure you're not reading it wrong?" Zhou Xian, who was standing beside him, looked at Yuan Chonghuan, and both of them showed disbelief. They originally thought that a life-and-death battle would break out tomorrow, but no one thought that someone told him that the enemy had disappeared and there was no more shocking news.

"Two sirs, even if you have the courage to deceive you, you two." Ye Bushang was also confused. After all, what he saw just now was really outrageous. Even the person he witnessed with his own eyes could not believe it, let alone the two sirs.

Yuan Chonghuan took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Forget it, you go down first. If this matter is found out as you said, I will not miss your reward."

"Thank you!" Ye Bushou hurried down.

After the night was not taken away, the room fell into silence. After a long time, Yuan Chonghuan said in a affirmative tone: "What's wrong with this matter. The Tartars will never withdraw their troops for no reason. There must be something strange about it!"

"So what? We can't send troops out to fight the Tartar camp now, right?" Zhou Xian said hesitantly.

"Of course, we can't do it now, but tomorrow morning we can wait for a night and not take it out of the city and investigate it. If it is true, why don't we send troops?" Yuan Chonghuan's face was full of eagerness to try. "If we can take over the Tartar camp, it will be a great achievement."

"I don't agree." Zhou Xian opposed this matter, "How could this matter be known to be not the tatars' trick? What we have to do is to guard Daling River Fort. As long as Daling River Fort is not lost, it will be a great achievement. Why did Lord Yuan leave the city?"

"Has our reinforcements arrived?"

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes suddenly became a little shiny: "Master Zhou, I thought there was only one reason for the Tartars to abandon the village overnight, that is, our reinforcements arrived, and the Tartars had to take the lead in trying to defeat the friendly troops coming to the rescue. There was no other explanation. We can leave the city early tomorrow morning to destroy the Tartars' camp, and then go out of the city to join forces with the reinforcements to deal with the Later Jin Tartars."

"No..." Zhou Xian's head shook like a rattle, "All this is Lord Yuan's guess. I will never agree with it. If I guess wrong, Daling River Fort will be in danger."

Yuan Chonghuan became anxious and stood up and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, it will be too late to regret it if he missed the opportunity."

"I would rather miss this opportunity than put our army in danger!" Zhou Xian's attitude was very firm, just disagreeing with Yuan Chonghuan's opinion that he wanted to leave the city.

"you……"

Yuan Chonghuan was so angry that he pointed at Zhou Xian and couldn't speak. Zhou Xian's personality sounded good and conservative, but what was ugly was that he was not enterprising and was timid and afraid of things. Yuan Chonghuan's temperament was a bit aggressive, and the two were completely different in character, so there was a fierce collision naturally.

The two of them ended up having a bad time and said nothing all night, and the sky quickly became brighter.

It was dawn, and after Yang Feng ordered all the soldiers to have a meal, six thousand soldiers, three thousand baggage soldiers and four thousand cavalry began to line up and head towards Kucao Ridge. When they arrived at Kucao Ridge, the Later Jin Tartars were already ready.

The peaks of Kucao Ridge are not very high, and the highest place is less than two hundred meters away from the ground. The geological structure is half-soil and half-stone, so there is not much vegetation on it. At this time, both sides of Kucao Ridge have been occupied by the Later Jin Tartars. A Tartar has already unsheathed his sheath and bowed and looked at the army coming from the array.

The army lined up to the Kucao Ridge. Yang Feng couldn't help but frown slightly when he looked at the narrow road between the two peaks. Then he looked at the mountains on both sides. There were dense shield chariots in front of the Later Jin army, and the ones following the shield were soldiers wearing blue red edges and red armor.

Yang Feng and Zhao Rujiao were together to observe the situation of the mountains with a telescope. Zhao Rujiao's telescope was sent to him by Yang Feng two days ago. After Zhao Rujiao got the telescope, he couldn't let go of it and was carried close to him as a treasure.

After watching for a while, Zhao Rujiao let go and snorted: "The Later Jin Tartars are still the same. They use shield chariots in front, with archers and shield chariots behind them, as well as dead soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. They try to use these terrain to stop our army from advancing. After the spirit of our army is destroyed, the surprises will come out from behind. In this way, our army will inevitably be in chaos."

Yang Feng asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you think these arrangements of the Tartars can withstand our army's artillery?"

Zhao Rujiao hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "To be honest, I'm not sure. The Tartars were prepared very well. Even the shield carts were moved to the mountains, and have you noticed that? This time the Tartars also learned their shield carts. Their shield carts were different from the shield carts under Jinzhou City a few days ago. They were thickened. I'm afraid they could even defend against artillery."

"Can artillery be protected?" Yang Feng laughed out loud, but he shook his head immediately. It seemed that the generals of this era still did not fully realize the power of hot weapons. If artillery is so easy to defend, it can still be the god of war?

While talking, the team was slowly approaching the mountain pass. When they reached more than 500 meters away from the mountain pass, the team stopped. As a group of sergeants leaned to both sides, one cannon was pushed out by the sergeants. In the end, a total of 80 six-pound cannons and forty twelve-pound cannons were divided into two rows. The gunners also began to busy transport ammunition, set up artillery guns and do final inspections. The gunners were busy setting up artillery mirrors to measure the location of the place.

Dai Shan and Amin on the mountain looked at the black guns at the bottom of the mountain and their faces began to change. Amin turned to Dai Shan and said, "Brother, is the Ming army at the foot of the mountain that caused you to suffer a great loss the day before yesterday?"

"It's them." Dai Shan nodded solemnly at the familiar armor of the Ming army and the dazzling red at the foot of the mountain.

"Big Beile, two Beile, the Ming army at the foot of the mountain is about to fire! You two should hurry up and go back." Goshha next to him reminded.
