Chen Zhi was inspecting the camp when Ding Haijun's soldiers and horses suddenly appeared.
He was a fellow martial artist who practiced martial arts with Li Quan back then, and he had always been the most trusted. So Li Quan led the attack, with Chen Zhi leading the headquarters and Zheng Yande as the assistant.
This task is not simple.
There are probably more than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Anding Town camp at this time. In addition, there are as many as 7,000 or 8,000 civilians and military family members who are trapped in the army. In addition, Li Quan's ministries came from Weizhou and other places
He retreated all the way, carrying pots and jars and various belongings. In order to protect these belongings, Chen Zhi urgently signed two to three thousand troops in the old camp. He was responsible for the defense and security of the camp. He also dug multiple trenches and built a
There are several fences in front and back that are nearly ten miles long.
The remaining leaders, under Chen Zhi's coercion, recruited their families to join the Chinese army and take care of them, while the troops were dispersed and reorganized, and all entered a state of combat readiness.
This whole set of operations took three days. At the beginning, Li Quan sent false news to the Jin Army in Hebei, showing that the Tiansi Division was in rebellion and had to be suppressed. Therefore, subsequent successive mobilizations did not alert the Jin Army.
Wanyan, the general of the Jin army who led an army of 3,500 and set up a formation between the towns of Anding and Qinghe, was completely deceived by Chen Zhi.
And Chen Zhi even explored the road that could accommodate the army in the swampy woodland between the two towns. As soon as Li Quan succeeded in Tieling, Chen Zhi led his troops to break into the Hebei military camp and seize the troops. From then on, not only
When you stand up, you will become even more powerful, and you can go anywhere in the world!
The day before Guo Ning and Pu San Anzhen were going to meet, Li Quan took out the fine wine from his collection and drank it with his close friends. Everyone was drunk and laughed. They all said that they were born in such a bad time.
In the world, you can do whatever you want, and use your bow and sword to gain glory and wealth, which is really satisfying.
One day later, Chen Zhi could no longer laugh.
He hurried from the west side of the camp to the east side, and saw only a large number of soldiers and horses and armor, and the flags flying high almost blocked the sky.
This spectacular and unusual scene almost made many generals present suffocate.
"Mother, mother, this is Ding Haijun! What do they mean? How did they come from the east? Isn't the east Yin Chang's territory?"
Chen Zhi kept asking questions, but he didn't know what he was asking, let alone who could answer.
Once Ding Haijun appeared, they continued to press forward. Several teams of light cavalry roaming at the outpost of the army easily defeated several groups of sentinel cavalry arranged by Chen Zhi in that direction.
Chen Zhi suddenly pushed away a soldier who was blocking his way, and rushed to the far west of the camp in one breath, staring at the huge formation of Ding Haijun that was becoming increasingly clear.
Because he stared for a long time and was shaken by the wind, tears rolled down the corners of Chen Zhi's eyes. He rubbed his face hard, not caring that his eyes were blood red, and looked carefully again.
The number of this army is about ten thousand, but its power is so powerful that it is almost unshakable.
Chen Zhi followed Li Quan and experienced battles involving dozens of people, fierce battles involving hundreds and thousands of people, and even scenes of tens of thousands of people galloping horizontally. He had seen it many times.
In terms of battlefield experience, under Li Quan, he was second only to Liu Qingfu who was trapped in Yidu City, and he was a well-deserved veteran. But the more than 10,000 people in front of him gave Chen Zhi a pressure that he had never seen before.
This kind of pressure was invisible and insubstantial, but it actually hit Chen Zhi's face, making his eyelids start to twitch wildly, as if they were being poked by steel needles.
Pusan Anzhen's subordinates couldn't handle this kind of pressure, Yang An'er's Tiewagang Army couldn't handle it, and Wan Yan Sala's damn Shandong Army couldn't handle it! I'm afraid only the ferocious Mongolian army that day made a surprise attack hundreds of miles away.
The momentum at that time was vaguely comparable.
But the Ding navy and the Mongolian army are completely different.
The Mongolian army is like a group of ferocious beasts. They gather together with bloodthirsty instincts. They don't know life and death, they only know slaughter. The pressure they bring is fierce and barbaric, with an inhuman atmosphere.
It depends on the navy...
Their team is so neat.
Their troops spread out across a front two or three miles wide, over high slopes and over depressions. Sometimes, the front line was divided into two, three or more teams by water swamps. Once they crossed the water swamp, the line didn't even need to stop.
They were reorganized and reconnected in one place without any trace. Countless armors swayed with their footsteps, like metal rivers flowing.
An army of more than 10,000 people seems to be one whole body. How terrifying is that?
To an outsider, it would only be a visual impact, but a veteran like Chen Zhi knows what kind of hard training and what kind of strong cohesion there is behind it.
More than 10,000 people are getting closer and closer.
The roar of footsteps, the roar of armor, the roar of war horses' hooves, and the roar of hundreds of flying military flags, but there was no sound of anyone's voice. So many infantry, cavalry, and heavily armored generals were advancing quietly, accompanying them
Yes, only the snare drum with a bright rhythm is beating.
Chen Zhi stared at the soldiers at the front carefully, trying to see tension and fear on their faces.
But he couldn't see it, because almost all the soldiers wore hemispherical iron leaf helmets, and their eyes were hidden under the shadow of the helmet brim.
"Don't worry about the Hebei Army. All the troops are transferred back, filled in every barracks, and defended by the trenches."
Chen Zhi shouted sharply.
Someone answered in confusion: "But the marshal has ordered us to be ready at any time..."
Chen Zhi kicked him down: "The situation has changed! There are so many family members of the soldiers on Marshal and Tian Si's side in our camp! Once our camp is lost, there will be big trouble on Marshal's side!"
He pulled out his long sword and waved it: "To the south is the Beiqing River, and to the north is the lake and swamp mud. Don't worry about it. Just hold the east side! All armies take action immediately! Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Compared with ordinary red-coated army generals, Li Quan was particularly rigorous in running the army, and he also had strong control over the grassroots soldiers.
Therefore, following Chen Zhi's order, a large number of soldiers and horses swarmed forward. Although they were inevitably scattered and chaotic, they tried their best to fill in the defense to the east of the camp as solidly as possible.
There were seven or eight trenches in front and behind, four or five staggered fences, and countless barracks composed of horses, and soon they were filled with soldiers armed with swords, guns, swords and halberds.
The generals of each team also quickly rushed back to their own teams. Being in the dense crowd gave them a sense of security and allowed them to dissipate the pressure a little. They shouted loudly to encourage their subordinates and to cheer themselves up.
"Don't panic, don't panic!"
Chen Zhi continued to command. He personally stood at the front of the camp, and asked Zheng Yande to continue spreading out the rear with thicker troops, and immediately demolished the excess tents to leave a retreat channel.
This is a method of defending a camp from a weak position. On the one hand, it relies closely on the defense facilities, and at the same time, it is prepared to retreat one by one.
He hoped to hold on as long as possible to wear down the spirit of Ding Haijun and buy time for Li Quan to go to Tieling.
As long as the Tieling direction can win, Ding Haijun will have the upper hand for a while, but in the end he will have no choice but to surrender.
Even if the Tieling direction fails to win, as long as our side can withstand Ding Haijun's fierce attack and Li Quan turns back, there will always be a chance for our side to make a comeback.
Even if Shandong and Hebei can't accommodate each other, it doesn't matter, you can still go and join the Mongols!
The Ding Navy can always win a temporary victory, but can it still confront the Mongolian Kingdom for a long time? Sooner or later, the Mongolian army will go south again. They will defeat all enemies, and Li Quan, Chen Zhi and others will stand beside the victors.
allies, and share endless benefits with the victors!
Directly opposite Chen Zhi, Wang Shixian and Guo Zhongyuan rode side by side.
Surrounding them were towering iron spears, shining armor, long bows that undulated with their arms as they marched, and military flags of various colors.
At the heart of such a large-scale army, there should have been a red banner representing Guo Ning, the military commander of the Dinghai Navy. But at this time, Guo Ning was not commanding the army. The red banner was embroidered with "Wang".
", the general flag with the word "Guo".
Wang Shixian likes this feeling very much.
Wang Shixian's personal force was insignificant in the Dinghai Navy with so many brave generals, so in the early days, he was often responsible for trivial matters such as logistics in the Dinghai Navy.
But after fighting with the Mongols in Haicang Town, Wang Shixian felt that he had changed a lot.
He increasingly felt that he was born to live in the army. However, the army he liked was not the common Yi army on the border of the Kingdom of Jin, but a truly well-trained elite army that could win battles.
He likes the feeling of being in the army, he likes to make rude jokes with his rude subordinates, and he even likes the way the navy is consistent and orderly, and everyone follows an order without heeding it!
"This guy named Chen is heard to be Li Quan's junior fellow student. He doesn't look stupid at all."
Looking at the camp in front of him that was obviously temporary but quite tight, and at the guards lined up in groups between the camps, Guo Zhongyuan beside him shouted something loudly. Then he covered his mouth and nose with his military robe to block the smoke and dust.
Because the sound of armor vibrating and the dull sound of horses walking merged together, Wang Shixian did not hear Guo Zhongyuan's words clearly. He turned sideways and showed a questioning look.
Guo Zhongyuan raised his voice and asked: "Should we move the crossbow forward and shoot him two or three rounds first? Half a moment is enough."
Wang Shixian looked up at the situation ahead, and then at the high slope across the Beiqing River five or six miles away.
Both he and Guo Zhongyuan knew that Guo Ning was on a high slope at the moment.
Guo Ning is watching the command of the two of them, waiting for Ding Haijun to achieve a clean and crushing victory to show his majesty!
Wang Shixian said: "Pass an order, one step at a time."
The rhythm of the rumbling drums suddenly accelerated, and the drum beats were rapid and sonorous, urging the soldiers to move forward.
He said: "After fifty steps, the archers fired a volley."
Fifty steps later, arrows shot out from the military formation like locusts, violently sweeping across the enemy camp. Arrows were also fired from the direction of the enemy camp. Hundreds of arrows landed in Ding Haijun's military formation, hitting many small
The gap was immediately filled by subsequent soldiers.
As they got closer, the army continued to attack the enemy camp.
The spear held by the soldier at the front began to collide with the enemy's spear sticking out from behind the horse, making a dense crackling sound.
The soldiers standing in front of the trench began to throw the earth bags they were carrying into the trench.
The drums rumbled, the rhythm remained unchanged, and the whole army continued to press forward!
Wang Shixian pulled out the long knife in his hand and raised it forward: "Kill!"
Guo Zhongyuan then drew his sword: "Kill!"
At the front of the queue, Zhang Hui, known as a fierce general, danced his spear wildly and shouted: "Kill!"
No additional orders were needed. Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison to kill. The army roared like a wave, destroying the withered and decaying, and crossed the dike in a mighty manner.
"How can there be such a fighting style? How can there be such urgency and fierceness?"
Chen Zhi screamed, barely able to hide the panic on his face.
The Ding Navy was so brave that they completely ignored the heavy defenses laid out by Chen Zhi. They did not cover and suppress with arrows, they did not spread their wings to outflank, there was no tentative small group of harassment, nothing!
They just used all their brute force and stormed into their camp without any reason!
Damn it... How can any army fight like this? How can any soldiers obey orders like this?
This is a ferocious style of play that does not consider one's own losses, but only seeks to kill the enemy and break the formation as quickly as possible! It is a complete head-to-head confrontation!
The problem is, the moment the two armies collide, Chen Zhi knows that his own army is not as tough as Ding Haijun! It's far from it!
"Hold it! Hold it forward! Kill those who retreat!"
Chen Zhi roared loudly, his eyes widened and blood almost dripped from the corners of his eyes.
