When the Mongolian army arrived, the astute Aljinchi were everywhere. Han Xuan led two hundred people to launch a latent raid, which was the limit of what he could do.
The garrison in Gaizhou had no spare strength, and it was impossible for them to make large-scale mobilization without concealing it from the Mongols. Han Xuan really did not arrange any reinforcements for himself.
But he can trust his companions. The two deputy generals of the Liaohai Defense Department and the judge of the Qunmu Division are both smart and capable, and they have considerable strength in their hands. After Han Xuan and Zhebie face off, their companions will definitely learn something.
action.
And their decision was delivered to Han Xuan just before he set off for the night attack.
Five thousand reinforcements will arrive in Gaizhou tonight.
This adjustment seems difficult, but it is not difficult at all.
Although the tribesmen around Fuzhou and Hesihan Pass are captives, they are all accustomed to fighting. Pu Suliemeng and Li Yun have great influence on some of them because of their respective experiences.
To mobilize half of the available troops from tens of thousands of people, all it takes is one order.
The march of this force was even more concealed and rapid.
Although the road from Fuzhou to Gaizhou was under the supervision of Mongolian sentry cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry could never cover the sea route.
Part of the Ding Navy's shipping fleet is permanently stationed in Fuzhou for the purpose of transferring trade supplies. These fleets carry troops and go north along the coastline. It only takes one day to reach Gaizhou. In the past few months, the fleet had
I have walked along this route many times when transporting horses. This time I was transporting people, and there was nothing different about the others.
So Zhebie thought wrong from the beginning. He completely underestimated the power that Ding Haijun could invest.
Zhebie is an experienced general, and he is both wise and brave, otherwise he would not have so many brilliant achievements. But after all, he is a Mongolian, a person who has grown up in the grasslands all his life. He cannot imagine what he has never seen in his life.
thing.
Even though he had invaded the Northeast several times and had seen the vastness of the sea many times, he could not imagine the scale of transportation relying on sea routes, let alone how fast the fleet could move.
In his mind, even if he already knew that Ding Haijun's power spanned the sea, Ding Hai Hai's maritime dispatch situation was always a blind spot.
This blind spot is not only experienced by Zhebi, but also by many people.
Before the rise of Ding Haijun, few people in the entire Jin Kingdom thought that generations of Jurchen princes and nobles continued the naval foundation left by Hailing King Wan Yanliang, but only used those fleets for smuggling.
Making money. Those big men never put a little thought into thinking about things at sea. Those are the thoughts of lowly people.
Only after Guo Ning took control of the huge fleet did this power truly become the backbone of a powerful military and political group and the core advantage of the Ding Navy.
At this moment, the vast sea is to the Ding Navy, just like the grassland is to the Mongols, and the Ding Navy's troop mobilization relying on sea routes is as fast as the Mongolian army sweeping through thousands of cavalry! Relying on this advantage, the Liaohai generals are stationed in
The mountain has set an ambush!
Ambushes are the most common in war and are also the most effective.
Han Xuan and others heard that Li Erlang had suffered a loss at the hands of the Red Coat Army in Mizhou two months ago and was killed in an ambush with heavy casualties, so much so that Guo Xuan sent someone to urgently give him a golden sword to urge the battle.
And today, the force mobilized by the Ding Navy in Gaizhou is more than ten times greater than that of the loose red coat army?
The elite subordinates of the Liaohai Defense Department are here, and the wolf-like tribesmen from the northeastern hinterland are here. They not only want to eat a piece of flesh and blood from the Mongolian army, but also want to ambush a Mongolian general to wake up Genghis Khan!
Of course, if the two armies were fighting head-on during the day, even with these five thousand reinforcements, they might not be able to win the Mongolian elite cavalry.
The Mongols are the nation that is best at cavalry warfare in the world. They are proficient in various cavalry tactics and horse fighting skills. They are also good at ferocious assaults, large-scale outflanking and harassment, and patient feints to attack and retreat.
Zhebie invaded the Northeast twice and had many battles with the armed forces of various ethnic groups in the Northeast. In terms of personal military force, there is no difference between the two sides, but the Mongolian army is an elite army organized after many years of campaign. Once the battle scale reaches hundreds
Thousands of them, it was very easy for the Mongols to crush these loose tribes.
Even if the battle is unfavorable, it will be easy for the Mongolian army to leave... This is because the fighting method of large advance and large retreat is Zhebei's specialty.
But at this moment, the two armies are engaged in a night battle, a night battle in complex terrain. It is a night battle in which one side uses nearly ten times the force advantage, waits for work, and is suddenly ambushed! The power of the navy explodes at this time; and the Mongols are good at it.
Everything has been weakened beyond measure!
On the high slopes on both sides, thousands of people poured out at the same time.
The earth-shattering roar is still echoing above the head, the rocks are already rolling down, the arrows are flying, and some flying axes and spears are falling down, as dense as the torrential rain. In the dark night, how can you see the path clearly?
The Mongolian cavalry could only raise their shields or dance with their weapons to block.
In an instant, stones, arrows and weapons fell into the cavalry. Everyone heard the intensive banging sounds, the sound of metal and iron, the sound of sharp edges piercing flesh, and even the subtle explosion of stones smashing bones.
Voice.
Then, the injured horses neighed and the injured people cried out.
Right in front of Zhebie, Batu'er, an extremely skilled man, moved slightly slowly and was hit on the head by gravel. He was wearing a heavy iron leaf helmet, which was a fine product specially given by Zhebie to his subordinates. But it fell from a high place.
How terrifying is the lethality of stones?
The entire arc-shaped top of the iron helmet was dented. Under the huge pressure, blood and brain matter spurted out from the brim of Batuer's helmet!
What's even more troublesome is that many war horses were startled by the fire and the death falling from the sky, and began to jump wildly.
As soon as the flames appeared on the cliffs on both sides, Zhebie shouted sharply, asking the Mongolian cavalry at the front to turn their horses back quickly. But at this time, a large number of horses went crazy, and many knights did not bother to retreat, but had to lean down to calm the horses.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But where do they have time to comfort them?
The second and third batches of stones, arrows and throwing weapons arrived again. The Mongolian cavalry could not care about blocking, but their horses. Their backs and heads were easily hit and shot. But if they tried hard to block,
If they were blocked, the wildly jumping war horses could easily knock them off their horses and drag them to death or trample them alive!
In just a few breaths, the entire Mongolian cavalry was reduced by 30%. Many war horses were jumping around due to fear or injuries, and the people's panic was unprecedented.
Countless torches appeared and disappeared on the high slopes, getting closer and closer.
The roars on the cliffs on both sides have already triggered echoes. The scene of so many fires pouring downwards is like the Mongolians being pressed between two volcanoes, and the hot magma is roaring down! The momentum is like the stars.
and the moonlight are shaking!
The experienced Mongolian knights recognized that the yellow-headed Jurchens with yellow hair and green eyes were coming! And those Huli Gai people, who had been wantonly massacred by the Mongolian army since the Year of the Dog, now also
Come for revenge!
Once the ambushes on both sides are surrounded, the Mongolian army will have no way to retreat.
Several captains of ten men kept shouting: "Stand out, stand out quickly!"
The remaining Mongolian soldiers just tried their best to get closer to Zhebei. They could not distinguish the number of enemy troops, let alone the strength of the ambush. All the tactics they were familiar with could not be applied at this time. They could only trust Zhebei.
Don't trust Genghis Khan's arrows.
The anger in Zhebie's heart almost burned his own heart and lungs.
Since joining Genghis Khan's command, he has never been in such a mess, and has rarely been in such a dangerous situation.
How could a powerful force appear here that should not have appeared? Zhebie knew that he had been negligent, but he could not figure out where the negligence was. This not only made people angry, but also deeply shameful, making him feel like a war horse.
Crazy!
However, he couldn't think too much about it. At this time, he had no choice but to fight his way out!
"Don't worry about those frightened horses!" He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone gather together, the cavalry will clear the way and highlight the valley!"
