The commander who was favored by Li Ting was Zhe Die'er who led the troops stationed at the south camp gate.
Zhedie'er is the powerful leader of the Yiqilesi tribe, and the strength he holds in his hands is stronger than that of the nominal leader of the Yiqilesi tribe, the Prince Consort Bitu.
When Genghis Khan first divided tribes and established a thousand-household system, Zhedieer and Bitu's Prince Consort were together in one thousand households. They were often able to issue orders, and their authority was superior to that of Bitu's Prince-in-law. Later, Genghis Khan established ninety-five thousand households, and the whole system was also
The Qilesi tribe was split into four, and only then did Zhedieer come under Tuo Lei's command.
After the Battle of Thirteen Wings, Zhedieer led his troops to participate in five of the nine battles in which Genghis Khan unified the grasslands. He was a veteran with extremely rich actual combat experience.
After that, Genghis Khan sent out troops to capture gold twice, but Zhedieer did not participate in either of them. Mainly because the fourth prince was dragging thunder to Ulusi Xinjian, and there were always all kinds of trivial matters related to the distribution of people, livestock, and pasture.
As a veteran, Zhe Die'er had to help the fourth prince.
However, for the Mongols, this is really a useless behavior.
All the difficulties are ultimately due to the greed of people and insufficient distribution of benefits. So, as long as we fight hard, plunder the land of the Central Plains, and rob the Jurchens, Khitans and Han people's money and materials, won't we have everything?
This year Genghis Khan attacked the Kingdom of Jin for the third time, and Zhe Dieer came with Tuo Lei.
When he came to the Central Plains to fight, he realized that things were not as easy as he imagined.
There are too many cities and too many people in the Central Plains. The harvest of looting is indeed rich. However, after the army penetrates deep into the interior of the Jin Dynasty, even if every battle ends in victory, it will inevitably be exhausted after a few months.
The Mongolian army began to tire, but some of the Jin people were brave and good at fighting, and they began to cause trouble to the Mongolian army. Some cities were small in size, but they could not be attacked by all means, which often resulted in unexpected large-scale casualties.
During the fight last night, because the fourth prince gave a strict order, Zhe Die'er personally led his men to charge and storm the pier next to the city gate.
In the end, he took the lead in breaking through the Jin army's defense and brought victory to this two-day siege battle. However, he was hit by a heavy arrow in the shoulder and suffered serious injuries.
At that time, he felt murderous intent and did not feel any pain. He only felt that he had been hit by something. Later, he found that the huge bleeding mouth was bleeding, and the pale bones underneath were visible. If the direction of the arrow changed slightly, his arm would be disabled.
Already.
Zhe Die'er's men also suffered a lot of casualties.
At least two of the most proficient hundreds of households lost their fighting capacity, and it would not be possible to rebuild them in three to five years. No less than one hundred and eighty of the young men whom Zhe Dieer was optimistic about also died in the battle.
The fourth prince naturally saw this situation in his eyes. So he ordered all the troops to withdraw and move out to intercept the main force of the navy, and specifically asked Zhe Die'er's troops to stay in the camp... This was obviously Zhe Die'er.
The time spent alone in plundering was the compensation secretly given by the fourth prince.
For this, Zhe Dieer was very grateful to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince is smart, gentle, and considerate towards others. No wonder the Great Khan likes him so much. Zhedieer is also very willing to help Tuo Lei, making him, like his brothers, an invincible commander on the battlefield and a man favored by the Mongols.
A hero praised by everyone.
But the problem is...
What's going on? Why did heavy armored cavalry like wolves and tigers suddenly appear in the fort behind the camp?
After Zhe Die'er was injured, he applied herbal medicine specially provided by the shaman on his shoulder. This medicine can suppress the pain and slow down people's thinking. So at this moment, Zhe Die'er was a little groggy.
While his subordinates were all shouting wildly and shooting arrows at random, he was repeatedly wondering, where did the enemy come from?
One of his capable subordinates shouted repeatedly: "Get out quickly! Get out! Release arrows and walk out at the same time!"
But Zhe Die'er suddenly grabbed his subordinate's shoulders: "You can't retreat!"
"What?"
Zhe Dieer opened his mouth.
He wanted to say that if he withdrew from the camp, it would be like the battle of the past two days was in vain. So many people died fighting for this camp, but they gave up so easily in his own hands. What would the fourth prince Tuo Lei think? What would the other commanders think?
What will we think?
He also wanted to say that the fourth prince, leading the main force, was about to block the main force of the navy along the glue line. If we cannot control Haicang Town at this time, would the fourth prince be attacked from both sides? Would the fourth prince be unhappy?
He also wanted to say that the entire Qianhu household had been scattered throughout the camp, and hundreds of cavalry were divided into small teams, chasing and killing them everywhere. If they easily exited the camp, would they abandon their companions?
But there was no time to express these thoughts.
From the frightened eyes of his subordinates, Zhedie'er saw the armored cavalry rushing like a torrent, rushing towards them in an unstoppable manner. He turned around and saw steel, spears like a dense forest, armor like an iron wall, and
There are tall horses that sprint like monsters, breathing breath.
The Mongols gathered from all over the place, without Zhe Die'er's command, they each opened their bows and set up arrows, and kept firing. So the sky became brighter and darker, and every time it dimmed, hundreds of arrows flew into the sky, and then fell down.
.
But the torrent surged forward, seemingly unimpeded.
Two captains of ten men, seeing that the situation was not going well, shouted sternly and led their men forward to stop them.
Both of them were among the few warriors under Zhe Die'er. They had accomplished many feats by virtue of their skillful equestrianism and killing skills.
But these armored cavalry all wore thick armor, iron helmets and iron collars. Even the greaves and shoulder pads were made of iron. Each of them was like an iron can, with airtight protection. Mongolia
A knight's scimitar would be broken in one blow in front of this kind of iron armor. Only heavy weapons such as hammers and iron bars could be effective.
When the two armies clashed, where would they have time to switch weapons?
They are like small waves in the ocean tide. They make a little ripple and then disappear without a trace, never to be seen again.
Closer, closer.
What to do? How to deal with them?
The arrows fell, but they couldn't be stopped; they fought with swords and guns, but they couldn't stop them. As they got closer and closer, Zhedieer suddenly felt a long-lost fear. The Mongolian riders around him were also shouting wildly, as if they were the only one.
Only in this way can the fear in your heart be dispelled.
The Mongols are a nation on horseback. They grew up on the grasslands and began to learn to ride horses when they could walk. Before they could speak, they began to follow their elder brothers on horseback to hunt. Because of this, they have a special appreciation for the power of cavalry.
Feel.
They could feel how powerful the torrent in front of them was.
This power is so great that it has exceeded the range that they can resist... There is no point in resisting. Everything that is blocked in front of this torrent will be torn to pieces in an instant!
Zhe Dieer shouted wildly: "Come forward to meet us!"
Contrary to the roaring of the Mongols, as the cavalry approached the camp gate, the Tiefutu knights became quiet.
There is no need to shout anything, you can't hear clearly even if you shout.
The sounds of armor leaves colliding, iron hooves trampling the ground, and the breathing of humans and horses filled his ears like a roar. Other than that, only the sharp sound of bone whistles kept ringing in Li Ting's ears.
This is to urge the front cavalry to charge faster and crush the enemy in front of them.
Li Ting leveled the spear he was holding at an angle, and then the Tiefutu cavalry running alongside him also leveled their spears, causing a wall of sharp blades shining with a cold light to appear in front of the horses.
Li Ting felt that his mouth was a little dry. He swallowed and tried to sit more firmly on the horse.
Li Erlang of Zhongdu boasted about himself every day, claiming to be the number one general of the Ding Navy. In fact, Li Ting knew in his heart that when it came to his martial arts foundation, a character like himself, who was born as a local ruffian, was more showy than in terms of truth.
His kung fu skills are slightly inferior to those of those fierce men who have been in the army for generations.
Fortunately, the effect of Tiefutu's attack has little to do with personal martial arts.
The power of the armored cavalry depends on the overall assault. Each knight is just the simplest part in the iron pagoda's queue. What he has to do is also very simple: charge his horse and launch a stab at the enemy in front of him.
, these are the only two things.
The war horse's hooves flew and neighed repeatedly.
The next moment, the two armies collided, with men and horses flipped over. Countless gun barrels broke, countless blades flew apart, and men and horses were hit by the huge impact and flew into the air.
Li Ting, together with the entire cavalry, rushed into the Mongolian queue. His eyes were filled with the ferocious faces of the Mongols for an instant, and then suddenly became sparse. He saw the Mongolian cavalry being rushed away by the iron pagoda.
In the huge gap, he saw his war horses trampling over the dead and seriously wounded who fell to the ground, as well as the lightly wounded who were rolling all over the ground and wailing.
He heard the sound of weapons clashing with each other, the sound of horses clashing with each other, and the voices of officers or leaders at various levels shouting orders one after another.
As the commander-in-chief, Li Ting was too lazy to issue orders. He was wearing bright armor and riding a tall horse, so every soldier could see him. As long as he was charging, all the soldiers would follow him... Just charge and kill as much as you wanted!
The spear in Li Ting's hand stabbed repeatedly, and finally snapped.
Ignoring the severe pain of the tiger's mouth opening, he smoothly pulled out the long knife from the side of the saddle and slashed left and right. Two Mongolians were hit in the arm by him, and their broken arms flew high, blood spurting out wildly;
After killing him, the two horses were in the wrong stirrups and couldn't care less.
Li Ting continued to move forward.
He found it, it was the Mongolian captain!
He clamped the horse with all his strength with both legs and urged the horse to sprint. Halfway through, he covered his face with his hands and deflected several arrows flying from an angle.
The sword flashed.
The skin on Zhedie'er's neck was sliced open by a thick and sharp knife, and blood burst out suddenly. The blade continued to penetrate deeper, cutting through muscles, blood vessels, and tendons, and was finally slightly blocked at the bones.
But the power of Li Ting's arms and the force of the horse's sprint were all exerted on the bones, so the gray-white bones immediately shattered, and the blade continued to push forward, cutting through the muscles, blood vessels, tendons and skin behind the bones.
The head with beards everywhere flew up and glared at Li Ting as if full of despair and anger.
