Guo Ning rode out of Xianping City and looked up at the sky.
The originally clear sky seemed to be charged by murder, the clouds were rolling and changing, and the Huanglong Gang in the distance was undulating. A warm wind blew in the face, bringing the steaming bloody smell over the battlefield more than ten miles away, mixed with the ringing sound of killing, making
People gradually become excited.
Heshi Liehuanduan's headquarters was attacked by the Mongolian army slightly earlier than Guo Ning expected.
The battlefield where the two armies met was on the southern edge of Huanglonggang.
At this time, the war drums were thunderous and continuous. The sound of the two armies fighting to the death could be vaguely heard. Guo Ning looked straight ahead and could see that the entangled and collision steps of countless soldiers stirred up billowing smoke and dust, rising from several gullies. At first glance,
It makes people think that there are two giant beasts with a height of 100 feet rolling and biting among the hills.
Before Guo Ning's troops entered the hilly area, the Mongolian army had already detached itself and rushed to intercept them.
The Mongolian cavalry came from the north, but took a long detour and first penetrated to the left wing of Guo Ning's unit, behind the high slope in the northwest. When their figures appeared on the top of the flat and continuous slope, everyone raised their eyes to watch.
The sun was dazzling and the people and horses were in total darkness.
The wind blowing from the north to the south rolled the smoke and dust in the battlefield, as if they were integrated with the cavalry formation and came over them.
Several sentry riders approaching that direction clapped their horses and galloped back, waving the cyan flags that marked the enemy attack like windmills.
They shouted repeatedly: "Black Tartar! Black Tartar is coming!"
The soldiers were slightly commotion.
Zhao Jue suddenly urged his horse forward. He rode straight forward alone, and reached the point where the Mongolian army's arrows could reach. Then he pressed the saddle bridge with one hand, stood up on the saddle and looked out. When the Mongolian cavalry rushed to catch up,
He quickly turned back.
A moment later, he rode his horse into the formation amidst the cheers of many people and said concisely: "More than 700 horses, a team of 1,000 people."
This is not a small number. At that time, Guo Ning's troops were running through the rivers of Hebei and were driven many times by dozens of Mongolian cavalry.
Later, in Baozhou Wuguandian and Laizhou Haicang Town, Guo Ning's troops fought twice with the Mongolian Army's mine-towing troops. The mine-towing troops that entered the battlefield at one time were only one or two thousand troops.
What kind of pressure did Guo Ning's troops endure, how much price they paid, and what risks they took to finally win?
Therefore, it is normal for the soldiers to be nervous.
Thinking more carefully, the partial division sent to intercept had a thousand-man team. So, how many people would be besieging Heshi Liehuanduan's headquarters? Two thousand? Three thousand? Five thousand?
The strength that the Mongolian army can invest in the northeastern hinterland may be limited, but the number of troops in front of them is already large enough and represents a considerable threat.
And at the rear of this Mongolian army, there are also the Khitan army Yeluliuge's troops who are working alongside it, and Pu Xianwannu's troops who are enemies but not friends, and even the position of Marshal Wanyan Chengchong's troops in Beijing.
It's still unclear.
However, since our own side has sent troops, those people don't need to think about it.
People who don't understand military affairs tend to imagine the battlefield as a huge plain, with an unobstructed view for miles and dozens of miles. Hundreds of millions of people and horses can be mobilized like arms and fingers, just like a giant overlooking a chessboard.
Play around with everything.
In fact, this is not the case. There may be plains in the world that are as flat as a mirror and can accommodate tens of thousands of people fighting, but Guo Ning has never seen them. In his memory, even the open grasslands are actually undulating like waves and spread all over the high slopes.
Low-lying.
Therefore, the general's field of vision must be limited on the battlefield. Considering the speed of information uploading and order issuance, no matter how outstanding a general is, he can only mobilize the thousands of people directly under him.
Beyond this range, there is the fog of the battlefield. In this fog, what the general thinks is happening is often different from what actually happens, and when the orders issued by the general are implemented, they often turn into reality.
All kinds of weird looks.
Guo Ning has never overestimated his own talents, and he also knows that his military skills are derived from what he has learned in the northern border trenches. He can calmly lay out the entire complicated battlefield, and so on. Firstly, he lacks strength, and secondly, he has vision.
It’s limited, so I can’t worry about it for now.
And what he is best at is always commanding on the spot, seizing the enemy's weak points and striking hard.
At this moment, in the hilly area ahead, there are many forces, with a total of no less than 40,000 to 50,000 people fighting to the death. Outside the battlefield, there are other parties who have been affected by the battle and are reacting, trying to take advantage of the situation.
But Guo Ning does not consider the fog of the battlefield. Since he has sent troops, he does not care about the chaotic parties on the battlefield. In his opinion, the more chaotic the situation, the more crisp and agile methods are needed.
Now that the Mongols have appeared, Guo Ning is the only one who wants to watch and fight!
Kill them! Smash them!
Guo Ning looked around the generals and said with a smile: "Ten days ago, the Mongolian army annihilated Wanyan Tiege's troops here. I heard that it took less than half an hour from the time the two armies met to the winner. I was shocked.
I'm really curious. I wonder how this army compares to the Fourth Prince Tu Lei's troops back then. Can they withstand a thunderous strike from our army?"
Li Ting responded: "I can't control the situation of the Mongols, and I don't bother to guess. Who knows where they came from... But the troops and horses of our navy will be stronger than they were back then! Much stronger!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were excited.
Yes, everyone can clearly remember how hard it has been to train and prepare for war over the past six months.
Is all that time wasted? Is the sweat shed in vain? Is it possible that the whips used to improve military discipline were in vain?
Are the sharper swords and guns in his hands and the stronger armor fake? Are the fatter horses under his butt also fake?
As for the Mongolian army, who hasn’t stabbed a few with a knife? They are still made of flesh and blood!
If you don’t try the results of your own military training and test the quality of the Mongolian army at this time, do you have to wait for the Mongolian army to go south again and fight in your own stronghold in Shandong? I think Guo Jiedu also meant the same thing... I should have tried a fight long ago.
Got it!
Guo Ning looked calm and shouted in a deep voice: "Li Ting!"
"exist!"
"Did you see that gentle slope to the west? There are two old trees on it?"
"Saw it!"
"Since you are confident, then immediately go to this hillock and be responsible for blocking the enemy forces on the left. This place happens to strangle the Mongolian army's deployment route. If you block them, it is a first-class achievement. If you can't block them, you will take the lead.
Come and see me!”
"This achievement must be mine!" Li Ting shouted with all his strength, urging his horse to go out and gather his troops.
"Zhang Qian!"
"exist!"
"You lead the infantry, swordsmen, shieldmen, spearmen, archers and the chariot camp team, and form a formation to advance slowly to our rear. If there is any disturbance, fight them all back. If there is any loss in our team, please come and see us.
!”
Zhang Qian gritted his teeth and saluted: "Yes!"
"Han Xuan!"
"exist!"
"You lead your heavy cavalry and advance together with the infantry. You must not act rashly without receiving military orders; if you receive military orders, you must attack with all your strength! There will be mountains of swords and seas of fire, and you must trample them!"
"I obey! Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!"
"As for Zhao Jue..."
Guo Ning raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Jue and the nearly a thousand cavalrymen behind him.
"Everyone! We have all fought hard battles and waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. This battle in front of us is just a small scene! But even in such a small scene, the Mongols dared to send only 700 people.
, want to stop our army! There are only 700 people! These idiots... damn, they look down on me, Guo Liulang of Changzhou, and our navy! Everyone, let’s set out now to slap their faces! Let these idiots...
You know what a battlefield hero is!"
The soldiers laughed loudly, and many of them drew their swords and waved them in their hands.
"Come with me!"
A thousand cavalrymen followed Guo Ning, the sound of killing was loud, and the cavalrymen penetrated straight into the depths of Huanglonggang like an iron stream.
The cavalrymen galloped like dragons, and Guo Ning's heroic appearance of riding his horse and shouting made all the soldiers fascinated.
Some of Guo Ning's subordinates were left behind to assist Zhang Qian. The leader of this group was Dong Jin.
Dong Jin stared at Guo Ning and couldn't help but sigh: "Our commander-in-chief is not like a high official in the imperial court."
"What does that look like?" Zhang Qian curled his lips and asked.
"Like a fierce guy in a storybook!"
"Nonsense, aren't the scripts you're reading based on the deeds of our commander-in-chief?"
