This is a battle where you either die or I live.

Both the Ming army and the wolf pack tried their best.

In the end, the number of people was superior, and the Ming army, which had advanced weapons, had the advantage and killed all the wolves.

When the inventory was conducted afterwards, Liu Xingming even peeled off the wolf skin.

Wolf skin is a very precious skin, which is also an unexpected gain this time.

No words all night.

The next morning, the Ming army continued to walk north.

The purpose of their trip was to divide the Liaodong Qing army as much as possible, so that they could escape without fighting.

Once they escaped, the army led by Li Dingguo could easily come to Ningyuan City.

By then, the Ming army, which had the absolute advantage in numbers, could completely encircle Ningyuan City.

Just like when the Qing army besieged Jinzhou.

As they walked north, they discovered an abandoned fortress.

It seems that the fortress has been abandoned for a long time, and it was not the one who left just now.

Liu Xingming ordered a short rest in this fortress, to make rice and have lunch before continuing on the way.

Anyway, they just need to complete the task before the arrival of Li Dingguo's army, and there is no need to be so rushed.

"Major General, I heard that there is a Rakshasa Kingdom in the north of Liaodong. The people in the Rakshasa Kingdom are even more cruel than the Tartars. They have red hair and blue eyes. Is this true?"

"Wang Dahui, where did you hear this? It's true that there is a Rakshasa Kingdom in the north of Liaodong, but those people are definitely not as cruel as the Tartars. How many people are more cruel than the Tartars in this world? I haven't seen them anyway."

While gnawing on the naan bread, Liu Xingming spread his hands and said, "I heard that this Rakshasa country is much colder than that in Liaodong. It is basically in a state of cold weather and snow all year round. Therefore, people in the Rakshasa country usually wear very thick leather jackets, so it is difficult to come to the south."

"But I heard that the Rakshasa State had a plan to attack Liaodong."

"Just listen to those words, you can't do it really."

The two were chatting themselves when they suddenly heard a strange movement.

"Who!"

Liu Xingming was very alert. He put down the naan bread in his hand and pulled out a monocular telescope from his body.

This monocular was given to him by His Majesty. He only took it out at critical moments and was reluctant to use it on weekdays.

The abandoned fort is surrounded by woods and some grass.

Liu Xingming could clearly see some movement in the grass.

Could it be the Tartars?

This generation is already closer to Ningyuan, and it would be normal if there were Tartar scouts.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the beast.

Killing dozens of wolves last night made Liu Xingming sigh at the harsh environment in Liaodong.

Even wolves have to hunt in groups.

So he wouldn't be surprised if any beasts appear in the woods.

"Who, come out quickly, or I'll shoot an arrow."

Of course, Liu Xingming still felt that it was more likely to be a human being, so he simply made a harsh statement.

He not only said it, but did it.

He pulled out an arrow and placed it on the string and aimed at the grass not far away.

As long as he gently pulls his fingers, the arrow will burst out of the air and shoot straight into the grass.

By then, no matter whether it is a human or a wild beast, it will be dead.

"Don't shoot archery, don't shoot archery. I am a hunter of this generation."

Hearing this, the man in the grass couldn't hold him anymore, so he hurriedly raised his hands and walked out.

"Don't get me wrong, I just happened to hit you by hunting in this generation."

The man looked at his burly figure and full of tendons.

Liu Xingming observed him carefully and found that the man was wearing animal skin, which was very consistent with what he called the identity of a hunter.

Of course, you must be careful in everything, because a mistake in his decision may ruin the overall plan.

"Take your hat off."

Because of the severe cold in Liaodong, people basically wear hats.

The same is true for this hunter.

He had to take off his hat when he heard this, and he actually showed a pair of tidy hair buns.

Bound hair!

When Liu Xingming saw someone wearing hair in Liaodong, he didn't care about his eyes.

Although the bun is very messy and covered with oil, it is obvious that it hasn't been washed for a long time, Liu Xingming just felt very excited.

None of these details is important. What is important is that there are actually Han people in Liaodong who are willing to tie their hair!

This is really not easy.

In fact, what Liu Xingming knew very well was that after more than ten years of operation, the Qing Dynasty had much greater voice in Liaodong than the Ming court.

After being cleansed, the rest are basically obedient.

When the Qing Dynasty issued a hair shaving order, they basically followed the order.

There are really too few people like this hunter who voluntarily wear hair.

"June, are you the king's army?"

The hunter also noticed the buns of Liu Xingming and others, and immediately sighed: "The King is really here."

"Tell me quickly how many people are there in Ningyuan City now."

After finally finding a local household with a heart for the Ming Dynasty, Liu Xingming naturally refused to miss it. He stepped forward and grabbed the hunter's hand and said.

"this..."

The hunter looked embarrassed and said, "Actually, there are not many people. I guess it is only 70,000 or 80,000, not more than 100,000. This is just after sending tens of thousands of people from Shenyang not long ago. I happened to be hunting in the mountains and saw a lot of people coming up the official road. I saw about tens of thousands of people."

Liu Xingming gasped when he heard this.

If this hunter said it well, the Qing army still hoarded a lot of people in Ningyuan.

Although there is no one hundred thousand, it is definitely more than fifty thousand.

If you attack head-on, it is indeed not a good idea.

"Can you lead me?"

Although Liu Xingming knew that he could finally complete the task by touching the way forward, it would be the best if someone leads the way.

"The villain wants to."

The hunter nodded.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Liu Xingming smiled with satisfaction and asked casually.

"The villain Li Gousheng, his father and mother were killed by the Tartars, so the villain was irreconcilable with the Tartars. As long as the military men want to attack Ningyuan, the villain is willing to lead the way for the military men."

Li Gousheng's eyes suddenly turned red and he said with a choking.

"Okay, I will definitely avenge you."

Liu Xingming clenched his fists and promised.

"June, I am very familiar with this generation. Do you want to walk on the main road or the small path? If you are walking on the main road, I suggest that you should spread your actions so as not to be discovered. If you walk on the small road, you will not have so many concerns. You can go along with a hundred or ten people."

Liu Xingming replied without hesitation: "Let's walk the path."

At this time, it is much safer to walk the trail than the road. The Tatars' eyeliners must be arranged on the official road, and they can react if there is any movement.

But the trail is different. These are all taken by hunters and medicinal farmers, and no one cares.
