In the past few years, the Mongolian army has repeatedly won against the Jin army. The morale of both sides has waxed and waned, and the gap has reached a terrifying level. Most of the time, when the two armies met in the field, the Mongolian army was like a hunter, while the Jin army
It is the whining deer in the hunting pen.
Who would have thought that this deer would suddenly show its fangs?
Under the watchful eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army, Guo Ning ran into the enemy formation first, followed by two hundred cavalry roaring and galloping back and forth, instantly interrupting the marching rhythm of the Mongolian light cavalry. The two sides were entangled hundreds of steps to the left of the military flag.
In one place, smoke and dust are billowing, iron horses are like waves, swords and guns are intertwined, and flesh and blood are flying everywhere.
The cavalry are racing to fight, and life and death depend on the moment when two horses meet. It has always been the most brutal. The soldiers in the Chinese army all stared at the fierce battle. Some shouted cheers, while others were nervous. Their blood was boiling and they were dripping with sweat.
There is no doubt about Guo Ning's bravery. He relied on his heavily armored horse to charge back and forth. He broke into the formation three times and killed two centurions and more than 20 warriors. His subordinates also fought bravely, and the enemy cavalry merged.
No one can do it.
In this battle before us, there is no doubt that our side has won.
Moreover, it was an extremely morale-boosting victory that was rare in recent years; it was a happy victory that many soldiers who were accustomed to fleeing in front of the Mongolian army could not even dream of.
The cheers from the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Army turned more and more into cheers. As the cheers became louder and louder, some people shed tears for some unknown reason.
But Li Ting did not relax. He and Han Xuan looked at each other with even ugly expressions.
The soldiers saw their own cavalry standing out and destroying everything. What the two officers, Li Ting and Han Xuan, saw was the increasingly tenacious fighting spirit of the Mongolian cavalry.
It is easiest for the cavalry to gallop back and forth and pursue the victory like a wolf or a tiger. It is difficult to suddenly encounter a strong enemy but not be discouraged and insist on counterattack despite defeat.
The ranks of the Mongols in front of them had been scattered by the heavy cavalry, and their swords and spears were almost ineffective against the thick armor of the iron pagoda. Because the centurion who led the team was dead, they also visibly lost their timely attack.
Command. But they did not break up. Instead, they roared, brandished crude weapons, and surrounded them repeatedly like moths fluttering into the flames, fighting to the death without retreating!
These enemies are not even the real headquarters of the Mongolian army, but the newly formed miscellaneous Qianhu or Baihu after the founding of the country by Genghis Khan. However, their level of bravery and daring to die is simply shocking.
When the Jin Army officers and soldiers were attacking the Mongol tribes north of the border trench, they saw the same thing when they saw the Mongols, who were scornfully called Black Tartars!
Those grassland tribes struggling in extremely harsh environments are as willing to die as wild beasts, and as tough as weeds. The Central Plains regime can beat them ten times and hundreds of times, and win ten times and hundreds of times, but as long as they lose once, the Mongols will gain
With the weapon they lack most, armor, they can attack and plunder again and again, and the more they fight, the stronger they become!
These light cavalry in front of us are no match for our heavy cavalry. But sooner or later, they will be equipped with sophisticated weapons and become the most terrifying enemy.
At this time, a soldier in front of Li Ting suddenly shouted: "Look, the Mongolian army has moved!"
"Why are you panicking? Stay still!" Li Ting scolded, and then said: "Ming Jin, let Guo Langjun come back!"
About two miles away from the Chinese red flag, the main Mongolian army advanced slowly.
Tuo Lei waved his whip lightly, rode his horse leisurely, and said with great interest: "It's just a matter of returning the heavy cavalry that went out into battle. Look at the Jin army's central army..."
He pointed straight ahead. In the sight of everyone, at the end of the knee-deep river beach in the main scene, about seven or eight hundred Jin Army infantry and cavalry formed a regular formation. They were surrounded by a red flag, which was rolled up, as if they were hunting in the wind.
Sound.
Tuo Lei smiled happily and said to his companions: "The flag of the Jin Army has not wavered at all, and their formation is also very strict... This Jin Army is quite elite! It seems that what we caught today will be
A fat sheep!"
The four hundred households that had just been sent to harass the enemy's position now seemed to have suffered serious losses, and Tuo Lei was certainly wary of this.
But if we only talk about the loss itself, Tuo Lei doesn't care.
In front of them was the battlefield chosen by the Jin army. They relied on the complex water area to limit the scope of their own cavalry's running and interception operations, and then used heavy cavalry against light cavalry to maximize their advantage. Therefore, it was natural for them to gain the upper hand.
But with the two armies so close, a big battle will inevitably follow. The outcome of one or two small-scale trials means nothing.
Tuo Lei has been fighting since he was able to mount a horse. The several Qianhu nayans surrounding him now are all veterans who have fought countless battles. To them, fighting is no different from hunting.
, how can there be any reason to let go of prey when you see it?
No matter how good a hunter is, he will inevitably be scratched by his prey and bleed a little. There is no such thing as immortality in a war. As long as there is a victory, there will be prisoners, slaves, and even all those armors and weapons.
The losses of thousands or hundreds of households can be easily compensated.
The tow mine has already distributed its troops. More light cavalry are led by the flag, forming an extremely huge and curved fan shape.
On the left and right sides of the fan shape are Qianhu Nayan Zhedieer and Tuoshahe respectively. In order to involve the Jin army as much as possible, the two Qianhu Nayans marched almost close to the reed swamps on the north and south sides, constantly unfolding the front.
On the front of the fan shape, there are Tuo Lei's personal armored knights and armored knights drawn from each thousand households.
Some of these knights wore blue-black armor, and some wore dazzling polished armor. They urged their horses forward calmly. Everyone and every horse knew where they should be and how to interact with their companions.
They support each other, and there is no need to delay Lei Duo's instructions.
As the distance between them and the enemy keeps getting closer, each knight will naturally adjust the state of the man and horse, eventually forming the impact and lethality of thousands of people.
The Jurchens are absolutely no match for such an army, they cannot withstand it!
only……
Tuo Lei actually felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Yesterday, this elite Jin army did not dare to face Father Khan's army on the battlefield, and chose to leave the battlefield quickly. Last night, they did not entangle with Na Minfu's centurion at all, and went deep into the swampy area.
So, why do they stop now and why are they determined to fight with us? Where does their courage come from and where is their support?
Just as he was thinking of this, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
It was the combined sound of many Mongolian knights shouting or exclaiming at the same time, and after the low shouts, some even began to curse directly.
Tuo Lei was startled and looked around hurriedly. He immediately saw that the cavalry team, which had been moving forward in synchrony and gradually forming a special rhythm, suddenly became chaotic.
Some horses pedaled furiously as if they were uncontrollable, some horses suddenly slowed down, and some horses bumped into the horses in front that suddenly stopped from behind. Correspondingly, some knights on the horses reined in their horses, while others waved their hands angrily.
He whipped the horse, but it only caused the originally docile horse to neigh repeatedly.
What's going on? Is it a witchcraft?
By this time, Guo Ning had returned to the red flag of the Chinese Army.
He was covered in blood, but he became more energetic. Seeing that the Mongolian heavy cavalry suddenly slowed down, he smiled and said to the soldiers on his left and right: "There are continuous ponds near Anzhou, and the terrain is weird. We have been stationed here for more than a year.
, I can’t say I’ve figured it all out. It’s Xu Jin’s credit for finding this good place, I have to thank him later.”
It turns out that the area around Ya'erzhai seems to be a large flat land with knee-deep grass, as if a whole beach meadow stretches. In fact, the situation of the land under the grass is very complicated.
The only dry and hard ground that could carry heavy cavalry was the area occupied by Guo Ning's troops. Guo Ning waited until the Mongolian light cavalry rushed close to the left wing before he led the iron pagoda cavalry to attack, in order to ensure that his war horses were always safe.
Running on dry and hard soil.
The ground extends westward to a large area of the river beach. Because it is often flooded by river flooding, the soil is suddenly soft, including many semi-dried mud ponds. And among the mud, there are actually many pieces of water carried down by the water.
gravel.
Previously, Mongolia's light cavalry galloped, but I didn't feel any significant impact.
When the main force arrived, the knights were all armed with armor and heavy weapons, adding tens of kilograms of weight to the horses and men... This was originally nothing, but at this moment, with the weight of these dozens of kilograms added, the weight of the war horse
When the iron hooves stepped onto the soft ground, it was immediately difficult to run.
Not to mention, there are so many gravels hidden in the ground.
Everyone could see clearly that a Mongolian war horse had even stepped on the smooth stone and sprained its hoof!
On the battlefield, a little bit of geographical advantage can be enough to affect the outcome. What's more, at this moment, the main force of the Mongols' central army is unable to advance for a while.
Guo Ning turned over and dismounted.
"Just now we tried using heavy weight to overcome lightness. Next, we will use footwork to overcome cavalry."
