When the generals were about to ask for a clear explanation, the deputy commander of the black army, Xuetalahai, waved his hand and asked them all to retreat.
Shi Tianying was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Our elite armored soldiers cannot be moved! They must not be moved!"
Xueta Lahai laughed ferociously: "Prince, don't worry, the Great Khan has a plan. We also have our own methods!"
He said this because the situation in front of him was indeed specially prepared by Genghis Khan for Guo Ning. In other words, the entire situation on Zhongdu Road was always the result of the constant game between Genghis Khan and Guo Ning.
Genghis Khan's initial combat target was only the Zhongdu itself. This was obviously hoping to imitate the previous tactics of suppressing the Xia Kingdom to rejuvenate the Zhongfu, and continue to squeeze out the country's oil and water by suppressing the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
However, with the death of Zhebie in the battle in Liaodong, Shandong's Dinghai navy became the life-or-death enemy of the Mongols. The purpose of all actions of Genghis Khan himself and even many auxiliary troops on the Beijing Road in Zhongdu was to encircle and mobilize reinforcements, trying to use Zhongdu to
Various military operations along the way lured out the main force of the Ding Navy, and then annihilated them in one fell swoop.
The core strength of the Mongolian army lies in the ninety-five thousand households on the grassland. It lies in the Mongolian headquarters who have been familiar with riding and shooting since childhood, and can come as fast as a thunderbolt and as strong as a mountain. The combat effectiveness, mobility and flexibility of the Mongolian army
All the tactics are based on these ninety-five Mongolian households.
Outsiders think that there is endless manpower available for recruitment on the grassland. In fact, once the real masters are lost, it is difficult to make up for it. The loss of these thousands of troops is related to the fact that after the establishment of the Great Mongolia, the core Nilun Mongolia and Dier
There is a delicate balance between the various Mongolian tribes in the line, and then to the outer tribes such as Tataer, Mierqi, and Oyila.
Therefore, Genghis Khan gave the generals on the Beijing Road maximum freedom of action, hoping that these subordinate troops would put heavy pressure on the Jin Army in Zhongdu, and when the Zhongdu court was on the verge of collapse, the main force of the Ding Navy would have to join the battlefield to respond.
The main force of the Mongolian army also had the opportunity to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
Correspondingly, the same is true for the Ding Navy. The backbone of the Ding Navy has always been old soldiers who retreated from northern Xinjiang to various places in Hebei. These old soldiers also died one by one, making it almost difficult to replicate in a short period of time.
Therefore, in battles, Guo Ning always tries to use small-scale partial divisions to contain and attract the enemy, and uses the main force to strike at critical moments. From a certain perspective, this also continues the Jurchens' core of strong armor and heavy cavalry.
, a fighting style of attacking fiercely on the battlefield and making the final decision.
When the two commanders were hostile to each other, the battlefield situation was as Shi Tianying saw,
No matter how big the scale and momentum of the battle at this level are, neither side has tried its best, but only had a tentative fight. One side attacks and the other defends, or vice versa, constant consumption and confrontation, just like hunting dogs biting each other, bait and blood flying.
.Who wins and who loses is not very important at this time, and it even makes Shi Tianying a little sleepy.
He knew very well that the important thing was to lure out the hunter.
There are only two real hunters. Both hunters regard the other as prey, so they always lurk in the dark, waiting for the other to rise up first.
Shi Tianying was convinced that Guo Ning's patience would not be comparable to that of Genghis Khan.
This has nothing to do with Guo Ning's character or tactics, but because Ding Haijun's power is ultimately limited.
Considering the rapid expansion of their power in the past year, Ding Haijun's control over Shandong and Liaodong is not stable; Shi Tianying guessed that the entire Ding Navy has only about 30,000 to 50,000 troops, and these 30,000 to 50,000 troops
No more than half of them can be mobilized freely. The strength they have shown up is only a few thousand people in Zhigu Village.
Facing these thousands of people were the heroes who had retreated to Beijing Road after the collapse of the two recruitment divisions in the northeast and northwest of the Kingdom of Jin. They were tens of thousands, and the maximum mobilization almost exceeded
An army of 100,000! There are nearly 50,000 people stationed around Zhigu Village alone!
Such a huge force can forcibly cover up any weaknesses. No matter how many tricks the defenders of Zhigu Village use to burn down the siege equipment, even if the navy is so elite that one can defeat ten, the generals on the Beijing Road will not be able to defeat them in this battle.
Definitely a win.
Even at the cost of human lives, they will definitely be able to capture Zhigu Village.
Then, the problem came into Guo Ning's hands.
After all, the navy was still a minister of Dajin. Shi Tianying didn't believe that Guo Ning could watch the Mongol Khan tightening the noose layer by layer as he went to the capital of Dajin. But before that, the generals on the Beijing Road were able to annihilate all the Zhigu Village.
The defenders made Guo Ning heartbroken.
Perhaps in the eyes of Genghis Khan, the generals on the Beijing Road were just bait to attract the main force of the Ding Navy, but Shi Tianying himself did not think so. He believed that his own force was not only capable of taking down Zhigu Village, but also enough to defeat the Ding Zhongdu Road.
The battle situation.
In his opinion, the Black Army is not only a bait, but also a hound. It is also the most powerful and vicious among the hounds. With the power of the Black Army, it can at least force out the opponent's hunter, and even bite the hunter's throat.
!
Shi Tianying only needs to know where the opponent's hunter is.
If you think about it from another angle, these soldiers and horses in Zhigu Village are all elite. The reason why this force repeatedly provokes and engages in vicious fights is to attract our own attention, make it difficult for our own side to distinguish reality from reality, and cover the main force of the navy.
action. So, where is the main force of the navy lurking?
Zhigu Village?
In a certain fleet at sea?
Ding Haijun is really patient. The Lushui channel has been blocked for five days. The supply of food and materials in Zhongdu City will be tense at any time. Once the materials are in short supply, those high-ranking officials will inevitably do all kinds of sneaky things to make it look stable.
The unshakable Zhongdu City fell into turmoil.
The main force of the Keding Navy has not even shown its shadow until this moment.
Obviously they are the defenders, so they should rush to open the passage and relieve the central capital! Hey, it shows that their loyalty to the imperial court is very limited!
It's interesting to say that if Ding Haijun never showed up, the Mongolian army would have been lurking and waiting with bated breath. Could it be that I, Shi Tianying, had been in charge of the army and captured Zhigu Village? Then, with a heavy army, I attacked Tongzhou in one go.
, Capture Zhongdu? If you really do this, you can be called a powerful person in the world, right? If I control Beijing and Zhongdu, how can I not be like Shi Jingtang?
Shi Tianying shook his head, and was about to continue his calculations when suddenly something happened in his heart.
We have tens of thousands of troops deployed along the Lushui Channel, which stretches for more than 200 miles from Tongzhou in the west to Zhigu Village in the east. It can be said that the Dinghai Navy in Zhigu Village is airtight.
A frontal blow.
But is there really no flaw in such a formation?
The previous two wars of the Ding Navy in Liaodong were inseparable from the support of the Ding Navy's huge shipping fleet. Therefore, the distribution of troops by Shi Tianying and other generals was also based on this advantage.
After our own side controls the line along Lushui, if the navy comes from the sea, we can use our huge force to control the sea with land, which is enough to take the initiative in advance, making it difficult for them to gain a foothold. Even if the fighting is unfavorable for a while, we can intercept it layer by layer, exhaust the enemy's strength, and then
Regain the advantage at some point.
Even in the worst case scenario, there is still the Mongolian Army Headquarters as a back-up.
but……
What if the navy does not come from the sea?
"The person in charge of Wozikou area in the south is Brother You Xing of the Bohai Navy. Has he received any military reports today?"
This sentence came out of the blue, and Xuetalahai immediately guessed the key: "Prince, are you worried that the navy will come overland to fight?"
In the past few days, I have been coughing up about half a basin of phlegm every day, and I feel a little nauseous...
