Zhebie is not the only one whose mood has changed.
Many Mongolian knights are already anxious.
When our own side was attacked previously, we suffered heavy losses and faced a very awkward response. Every Mongolian saw this and they were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
In the past two years, the Mongolian army went south to attack the Jin Dynasty, traveling thousands of miles across the country. It rarely encountered such a situation. Many Mongolians already felt that the Jurchens were even more useless than Genghis Khan said, and the war against the Jin Kingdom was just one armed battle after another.
Just go on a parade and then return to the grassland with a full harvest.
Even if they occasionally encounter a few strong bones, most of them only dare to hold on to the city. The more firmly they defend, the more enjoyable it will be for the Mongolian army to burn, kill and loot after breaking the city. If you have to find a serious scene of suffering, the only one who can do it is the fourth prince.
Once in Shandong, and once in Liaodong with four thousand households of Chen Nayan.
But after those two losses, didn't the fourth prince immediately destroy the Jurchens' Shandong Army Command? Didn't Mu Huali immediately take over the Jurchens' Beijing Road? The Mongolian response came so quickly!
Who knew that this Ding navy was so bold that they faced the Mongolian army for the third time and dared to take the initiative to launch a night attack and provoke them! They had to respond on the spot! As Zhebie Nayan said well, he wanted to cut off their heads! Pull out their spines
bone!
The problem is, it has never been done.
All the Mongols were good riders, but these navy knights didn't even wear armor, and their weapons were all thrown away. They took away all the extra weight from their horses and just kept galloping.
They are also very familiar with the terrain and roads...
It’s really hard to catch up!
The Mongolian cavalry led the horses and relied on their outstanding endurance to approach the range of arrows several times. But this was at night after all, or a night with clouds in the sky. After being far away from the firelight of the camp, most of the Mongolians even
Looking at the pine torches on the left and right with eyes wide open, they could only see the outline of people. They shot arrows in random directions along the way, but the hit rate was much lower than during the day.
Several enemies were killed along the way, but how could that be enough to make up for the previous losses? The Mongols were accustomed to creating mountains of corpses and seas of blood. In their eyes, such achievements were not worth bragging about, but almost a shame.
Enough, enough!
At this time, the enemy's horses are already tired. Quickly seize the opportunity, rush up and kill them with your sword!
Dozens of riders at the front suddenly rushed into the valley.
"The golden man is cunning, what if he sets an ambush in the mountains?" Suddenly the astute centurion asked.
Another centurion said with a smile: "The Dinghai navy has limited troops, and they are also guarding various city fortresses. Where can they come out to set up ambushes? If we really have that force, wouldn't it be better to use it for the night attack just now?"
"I'm afraid they have bigger plans!" Another person glanced at Zhebie.
"We have sent out sentries everywhere, but they didn't give any warning!" someone else said.
Zhebie's thoughts turn electric.
The Mongolian army will send sentinels far away no matter where they go, but the role of sentinels cannot be overestimated. Especially when the Ding Navy is so familiar with the terrain, they must have the means to avoid the sight of sentries and dispatch their troops. If our own side
The sentry really worked, and there was no such night attack.
Therefore, ambush must be guarded against. The terrain in front of us is indeed suitable for setting up an ambush.
If you want to be more prudent, there is nothing wrong with withdrawing your troops and ignoring them now.
But how many ambush troops can Ding Hai have? As another centurion said, this is the only number of defenders in Gaizhou. Zhebie already knew this. How many people can Han Xuan send?
Even if he had the remaining troops, he should have invested in the raid all at once. How could he invest in the raid twice? The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the more complex the plan is, the easier it is to go into trouble; therefore, the more likely it is that it will originate from
The better the generals in the army are, the more they will abandon those fancy and useless methods and invest a huge amount of force at one time to destroy the enemy.
This truth is applicable to all countries. Zhebie knows it, and he believes that the commander-in-chief of the Ding Navy also knows it.
So, why did only two hundred people be dispatched for the attack just now? It was obviously because the Dinghai Navy did not have enough troops. Even if they squeezed out more troops, they would not be able to change the result of the attack. They might as well use it here to provide some cover for their own general.
.
That being the case, what do we have to fear?
No matter what, we are all hunters, and no hunter would dislike more prey!
Today, the general of Gaizhou must be killed!
While the group was discussing, the war horses kept approaching the hilly areas. The Mongolian knights following behind held up newly lit pine torches and moved forward, and the murderous intention in Zhebie's heart also danced like fire.
He raised his whip and pointed: "Two hundred people on the left wing circled the top of the hill from that slope and occupied the woodland as cover. I led three hundred cavalry in pursuit, and two hundred cavalry on the right wing followed later to provide support."
The Mongolian soldiers shouted in response, and the cavalry poured into the quiet valley like a torrent.
The valley is not dangerous and narrow, and the mountain walls on both sides are quite open. The cliff itself is made up of slopes and rocky rocks, with bushes and old trees growing there. Under the light of the fire, the trees cast a strange and twisted shadow on the rocks behind.
shadow.
The terrain in the valley is not rugged either. The soil that has rolled down from the highlands on both sides over thousands of years has created a meadow at the bottom. Because the cliffs on both sides block the cold wind, the grass is not completely dry, and the horses' hooves step on it, like
Stepping on the thick felt carpet, the sound was muffled.
The horses neighed happily, and their hooves sped up and down on the meadow.
The comrades at the front of the queue who were the first to pursue had already caught up with the enemy and gave out the unique shouts of fighting. Everyone had already heard the sound of the clash of swords, shields, spears and spears!
"Right ahead! Catch them!" the Mongols roared in unison.
High up in the canyon, Li Yun also heard the sound of fighting. He said solemnly: "It's time."
Li Yun stood up from the deep grass, and dozens of guards stood up beside him.
As they moved, the shadows on the entire slope that were originally regarded as rocky rocks all moved. There were hundreds of these people, and most of them only had weapons but no armor, and were wrapped in the furs of wild beasts.
They wore decorations made of small stones and bones. When they shouted loudly, their open mouths revealed sharp teeth and emitted a foul smell.
Under the moonlight, it can be seen that many of them have yellow hair and green eyes. In the eyes of ordinary people, they look like ghosts.
These people are the yellow-headed Jurchens from Hesihan Pass. When Li Yun first arrived in Liaodong, he wanted to recruit them, but he was ambushed and many of his subordinates died. But now, the yellow-headed Jurchens have completely surrendered to Ding Haijun.
They were barbaric, but not stupid. When they came into contact with the culture and productivity of the Han Dynasty and understood the benefits of following Ding Haijun, they immediately regarded Li Yun as a great benefactor.
Last month, a Yellow-headed Jurchen tribe violated Li Yun's orders and tried to attack other tribes privately. It was completely destroyed by Li Yun's men. The head and body of the leader were cut into several pieces and displayed in parades of various tribes.
Since then, Li Yun has gained supreme authority.
Li Yun pointed to the bottom of the canyon: "Kill them, kill them all."
The yellow-headed Jurchens shouted in response. They first smashed down with the rocks around them, then waved their weapons, jumping desperately between the slopes and cliffs, and rushed down like a wave!
Even if the slope is not too steep, you have to be careful when climbing and walking at night, as it is easy to slip and fall. But these yellow-headed maidens don’t think of themselves as human beings at all, and they just keep speeding down. Some people miss their feet.
He lost his balance and saw his bones rolling down, and he would definitely fall into a pulp, but the others kept sprinting down!
On the high slope at the other end, Pu Sulie sighed.
He always felt that although Li Yun was also from the army, he had not been in the army for a long time. When it came to combat command, he was definitely not as good as a serious soldier. Moreover, he had been busy with business and rarely had time to restrain and train those yellow-headed Jurchens.
Tribe. Therefore, it is actually a bit wasteful to put thousands of yellow-headed Jurchen tribes into Li Yun's herding system.
But now it seems that why does Li Yun need to participate in battle command? Why do they need to train? Those yellow-headed Jurchens are no different from wild beasts. Li Yun can lead them to march, lurk, and tell them to attack, that is enough
The beast has its own way!
There is really no one like Yi Yu under the command of Guo Xuan.
Joining the Dinghai Navy was truly the right choice.
Pu Suliemeng also stood up.
The soldiers beside him were the former Puxian Wannu tribe, Huli Gai Jurchens from Huli Gailu and Supin Road. These tribesmen have always been brave, and the Jurchens' ancestors fought hard against them for many years a hundred years ago.
, he could only recover, and then surrendered and rebelled. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that he was regarded as a little polite by the right prime minister and the ancient Qing officials.
After the defeat of Pu Xianwannu, most of his subordinates were divided up by He Shiliehuanduan, Wanyan Aruzhen and others. As a subordinate of Pu Xianwannu, Pu Suliemeng also relied on his own prestige to win over a considerable number of people.
Batch, there are two thousand of them lurking in Zhuzhe Mountain right now.
Of course, when Pu Sulie ruled over them fiercely, he no longer used the method of an adopted father and an adopted son.
When he stood up, several officers from far and near who were officially appointed as generals and Huli Gai officers under the military jurisdiction stood up one after another. Most of these people, like Pu Suliemeng, were Jurchens with a strong Chinese culture, and they were also
They highly recognized Ding Haijun's rule in Liaodong. Most of them were recommended by Pu Suliemeng and reported in the military government's books.
Although they are still prisoners for the time being, they have already received instructions from the military government and are ready to go into battle again and continue their military career.
At this moment, each of them is waiting to make a contribution quickly!
Hundreds of years ago, this mountainous area was where Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty stationed himself to attack Goguryeo. At that time, Goguryeo's generals Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen led an army of 150,000 to fight. Tang Taizong immediately led an army of 30,000
Defeat the enemy and kill Goguryeo to the point of fear.
Xue Rengui, the general of the Tang Dynasty, rose to prominence in this battle. Now that I, Pu Sulie, can kill the Mongols here, I am imitating my ancestors!
"Don't worry about those Mongolians who are urging their horses around the slope. Before they arrive, we will kill all the Mongolian troops below!"
"As you command!"
Officers from all walks of life quickly returned to their own units, and hundreds of pine torches were lit. The firelight illuminated the horrified posture of the Mongolian army below, as well as the surging fire and crowds on their own hills.
Pu Sulie suddenly drew his sword in his hand: "Let's go!"
