The low horn sounded, and the black flag waved in the wind.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The captains of ten who were scattered everywhere saw and heard, and then shouted.
At this critical moment, many Mongolian cavalrymen were fighting. If they reined in their horses, they would be easily chased and killed by the armored cavalry. Someone must have been stabbed in the back and fell off the horse, resulting in tragic casualties. There were not just a few people, but dozens of people.
But the loss of hundreds of people!
But the moment they received the order, thousands of Mongolian knights turned their horses and retreated without hesitation.
The Mongolian army unified the grasslands with great force, and in the past few years, the two countries have been fighting fiercely against Jin and Xia. They relied on this vigorous and resolute command style, like arms and fingers.
Genghis Khan's most trusted subordinates, the so-called Four Heroes, Four Dogs and others, may have different abilities, but the most important thing is to immediately and unconditionally execute all Genghis Khan's orders at all times. The Red Horse Prince Consort carries out the orders of dragging thunder,
The same is true.
Previously, they had been entangled with Tiefu Tu at all costs, hoping to buy time for the Fourth Prince to haul mines and dispatch six thousand households on both wings to surround and annihilate the enemy. Now that the Fourth Prince has given an order to everyone to pretend to be defeated and retreat, luring the enemy to pursue them, all the ministries immediately followed suit.
.
If we say that the frontal impact of the naval iron buoy is like the rising tide of the sea, with each wave higher than the other, then the Mongolian army's escape from the formation is as clean and neat as the ebbing tide. Seeing the waves disappearing among the gravel, there is no stagnation.
As for the Mongolian army's retreat and luring the enemy, it was by no means the method of expecting the enemy general to be stupid.
They have many ways to prevent the enemy from pursuing them.
The two sides were tens of steps apart. The red horse prince consort shouted, and thousands of people turned around at the same time, bows and arrows drawn.
This time, it is no longer a covering fire, nor a rain of arrows, everyone is aiming at the opponent... This is a shot to achieve maximum damage, and this is also the Mongolian army's tried and tested unique skill to kill the enemy!
Monk Luo and his deputy Pei Ruhai were both good at fighting the Mongols many times, so they always relied on their iron armor to fight close to the enemy and never allowed the Mongolian army to distance themselves.
But at this time, the two men were leading an assault, intending to encircle the Chiju Prince Consort's troops and take his head. The Mongols suddenly retreated, and the two men suddenly appeared like large bright shells on the beach.
The silhouette is extremely clear.
The Mongols are targeting them!
In daily battles, the Mongolian cavalry often carry three types of bows of different weights. At this time, all they took out were heavy bows weighing more than one stone. They also used snake-bone arrows with extremely wide and heavy arrow clusters and thick and long shafts.
.
The tip of this kind of arrow is not pointed, but an inverted triangle, wide in front and narrow in back, like a small shovel, more than a few inches wide. In the early years, the Mongols used wild beasts to use arrows of this size.
The bones were ground into pieces, and later a large number of blacksmiths were captured from the Kingdom of Jin, so that they could be manufactured in batches.
Snake bone arrows can even break through iron armor and injure vital parts at close range.
Almost instantly, nearly a hundred Tiefutu cavalry were shaking violently like forest trees struck by hail, and then their horses whined and their whole bodies were in severe pain!
Pei Ruhai only let out the first half of a groan. When he lowered his head to look, his chin was caught and he could no longer lower his head.
The armor on his body was not broken, and several heavy arrows bounced off with a clang, but the collar at the throat was broken. The gap was not big, but there was an eye-catching arrow in the gap. The shaft of the arrow was extremely thick.
, still twisting and trembling violently, like a wildly twitching poisonous snake.
He opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but there was no airflow in his throat, only blood came up gurglingly, and a salty smell rushed straight into his nose, and then flowed out along the corners of his mouth and nose.
Pei Ruhai looked up to the sky and fell.
A few dozen steps away from him, Monk Luo cursed loudly.
His skill and reaction were both a step ahead of his junior brother. When he saw the Mongolians suddenly retreating, he immediately took cover in the stirrups.
His weight and the huge weight of the armor made the horse whine repeatedly, and the horse deflected to the side, becoming a human shield for the arrow.
The war horse was hit by more than a dozen arrows in an instant, fell to its knees and began to twitch.
Monk Luo threw off his stirrup and rolled back to prevent himself from being pressed down by the horse. Unexpectedly, another arrow flew from the thorn and hit the sole of his raised left foot. The broad arrows passed by and instantly cut open the leather boots.
, took away two toes, and blood spurted out.
Around Monk Luo, there were constant banging sounds. It was the sound of at least dozens of Tiefutu knights falling from their horses after being struck by arrows. Some of them were lying still and some were trying their best to stand up, but due to the weight of their armors, they were unable to do anything.
.
Monk Luo roared furiously.
I’m really afraid of whatever I’m afraid of, and whatever I’m disgusted with will appear!
These black Tatars react so quickly!
We have tried our best to create a favorable situation, and the power of the Tiefutu cavalry is like thunder from the sky.
But the power of this killing can only be limited to three or four hundred steps around the camp, and the damage can only reach the few thousand households in front of you... If you go on, there is no chance!
The current situation is already the one that the Mongols like best.
If our own side retreats, the Mongols will approach, and at the same time they will continue to shoot at leisure, causing huge damage. If our side advances, the Mongols will gallop away and continue to fire arrows to provoke. After retreating to a certain extent, the main force of the Mongolian army will
Just wait with your pocket array.
Monk Luo had seen this a lot in those days!
So, next, advance or retreat?
Both armies were cavalry, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust during the fight. The men and horses seemed to be walking in the clouds and mist, looking from a distance, looming. Until this moment, the two armies instantly distanced themselves, and the originally high-pitched and abnormal shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing on the battlefield also disappeared.
Feeling depressed, those who watched the battle situation from a distance breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a killing!"
Before he was relieved, someone said in a deep voice: "Keep watching!"
"Yes Yes!"
The person speaking was not Tuo Lei and his men, but an elite group of soldiers who had reined their horses and stood in Sangu Mountain.
Sangu Mountain was a place for suburban worship in the Han Dynasty. It consists of three peaks side by side. The east one is rocky and tree-filled, the middle one is the tallest, and the west one is majestic and broad. The three mountains go to the north, between hills and plains, with more dense forests and deep grass.
, ravines and caves.
Not long after Guo Ning took control of Laizhou, he was attacked by the Mongolian army and had no time to survey these complex terrain areas. And when the Mongols first arrived here, even with a guide, it was difficult for their light cavalry to explore deeply.
Therefore, although this group of soldiers was on the edge of the battlefield, most of them looked relaxed and not nervous at all.
This group of people is Yang An'er and his subordinates.
The local forces on Shandong East Road were intertwined. The Mongolian army and the Dinghai navy had been fighting fierce battles for several days, and not only the two families were affected. In Yang An'er's eyes, there were at least four or five groups of explorers from different origins around the battlefield.
But only this group of ghosts on the border of Shandong were able to approach the battlefield freely, treating both the navy and the Mongolian army as if they were nothing.
After Yang An'er returned to Shandong a few months ago, he initially moved his army to fight in various states with great momentum. He successively mobilized more than 10,000 troops to besiege Yidu, Zhucheng, Juxian and other places. He also united with Liu Erzu's forces to attack Tai'an Prefecture and threatened Dongping Prefecture.
However, because the Jin army still had the power to control major cities, several offensives launched by Yang An'er were unsuccessful, in vain wasting away his willing companions in various places.
So in the past two months, Yang An'er has stationed troops at the mountain passes in Jiaoxi, Gaomi and other places. On the one hand, he relies on a large number of cottages to control the place and accumulate strength; on the other hand, he sends his cronies to contact various places to encourage heroes.
As a result, not long after, Guo Ning arrived.
Only a few days after taking office, this Dinghaijun Jiedu uprooted many of Yang An'er's arrangements in Laizhou, leaving Yang An'er and others to smile bitterly.
Yang An'er naturally understood that Guo Ning was definitely not a loyal minister of the imperial court, but he was also definitely not like Yang An'er. This evil tiger suddenly took over Laizhou, which really made Yang An'er not know what to do.
As soon as Guo Ning's problem was put on the table, the Mongolian army came and the world was turned upside down.
The arrival of the Mongolian army was a mixture of joy and sorrow for Yang An'er.
Fortunately, the troops deployed by the imperial court in Shandong, including Wanyan Salara and Guo Ning, were bound to be severely damaged by the Mongolian army. When the Mongolian army passed by, all the military and political systems in various places were destroyed, and Yang An'er took advantage of the situation.
What is worrying is that the Mongolian army destroyed too many things. They are not only the enemies of the Jin Kingdom, but also complete destroyers and the natural enemies of billions of people.
After all, Yang An'er is not a court that treats the common people like nothing. Since he is known as a rebel, he is always more humane than the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Kingdom of Jin.
And his biggest advantage in Shandong is his huge local appeal, which can easily make the people in the area follow. If the Mongolian army attacks and Yang Aner sits back and watches the whole process, it will be difficult for him to maintain his reputation as a righteous man.
The people's expectations for him must be shaken.
At this time, Yang An'er personally went deep into Laizhou to observe the battle situation. He was actually in a dilemma. He had to see with his own eyes the outcome of the Mongolian army and the Ding navy. Otherwise, he would not be able to make the next decision.
Although he was born as a small vendor selling saddle materials, he had served in the army for many years and was very discerning. At this time, he pointed out and talked eloquently:
"The Mongolian army is very good at the enemy's advance and retreat, and they are like this at this moment. They have excellent riding skills, skillful tactics, firm will, and rich experience... They are truly a formidable enemy!"
"What the marshal means is that the Mongols are starting to take back the initiative?"
Yang An'er thought for a moment: "That's not true... I always feel that Guo Ning's methods are more than that."
