When the Alejinchis were galloping at high speed, the team dragged on for a long time, and now it gathered in front of the Dinghai navy array like a black cloud. Their horses were panting and breathing hot breath from galloping for a long distance, and the knights on the horses were actually
Seems quiet.
The leader looked around, and most of his subordinates looked confused.
A'erhe Hesar, who conveyed orders to various ministries on behalf of Genghis Khan, hurried from the rear and asked: "How is the enemy army? Can we attack?"
The leader of Aljinchi was short and stocky with a dark face, which made it difficult for others to see his expression. He thought about it for a while and then said in a deep voice: "The Khan is absolutely right, this is not an ordinary gold
The army is the most difficult one to deal with!"
"Oh? How difficult is it?"
"...like the small army on Yehu Ridge! No, they are stronger than the small army!"
"How is that possible?" Ah'erhesa'er shouted subconsciously.
The leader of Aljinchi was about to explain, but Alhehesar thought of the importance Genghis Khan attached to this enemy, and nodded again: "They defeated the fourth prince Tolei, and killed the divine arrow general Zhe."
Other armies! It’s hard to deal with them.”
Quite different from what ordinary people imagine, the soldiers of the Mongolian army were very familiar with the fighting methods of the Jin army.
Since the beginning of the Sejong Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin has been actively responding to the Mongolian grassland tribes that have been harassing the interior. The strategy adopted is to instigate vendettas and take the initiative to attack and exterminate. At that time, the powerful Jin army sent troops to the north every three years to exterminate.
They were so desolate that wherever they went, all adult men were killed, and all the women and children were plundered into the Central Plains.
In the years when the military campaign was going smoothly, many wealthy families in Shandong and Hebei bought Tatars as slaves, which were obtained from the grasslands killed and plundered by the imperial troops.
Such results greatly extended the national prestige of the Jin Kingdom, but it also forcibly cultivated a group of Mongolian warriors who were accustomed to seeing the Jin army fighting.
In the impression of the Mongols, whenever the Jin army encounters an enemy, they must form a circular formation as the vanguard, with cavalry as the wings. The circular formations are of any size, and when the force is large, multiple circular formations will be connected with each other to form a long formation stacked on top of each other;
The cavalry, on the other hand, waits for opportunities to launch outflanks and continuous assaults. These elite cavalry are in front, wearing heavy armor and holding broadswords and spears. They are called the Hard Army, breaking through the front and breaking the formation, and they are invincible.
At that time, the Jin army repeatedly used troops on the grassland, and even Genghis Khan was impressed by its military power and held the post of "Zhawu Tihuli" given by the imperial court, which was the position of commander-in-chief of all the kings.
However, with the decline of Jin's internal affairs, the Jin army was completely abandoned in just two decades. Their tactics relied on strict training, perseverance and fighting spirit, as well as top-down tactics.
Command. If these things exist, the Jin Army will always be a strong soldier that can fight for a hundred rounds at any time, advance and retreat; once these things are missing, the Jin Army's military formations can still be arranged like mountains and seas, but in fact they will collapse at the first touch.
.
By the time of the Battle of Yehuling, most of the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops looked like this, and only a handful of Jin troops could maintain the combat effectiveness of the year.
Such troops account for no more than 1% of the hundreds of thousands of troops. Some of them are the bodyguards specially allocated by the Emperor of Jin to Wanyan Chengyu, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, and urgently dispatched to Yehuling to assist in the battle. They are also the so-called "
"Small army".
They formed a strong formation with infantry, and charged back and forth with fine cavalry. Their formations were repeatedly outflanked and attacked by several times the Mongolian army, and they remained as motionless as a rock. The Mongols paid a heavy price and were discouraged.
Finally, Wanhu Muhuali from the right wing personally went into battle and charged with all his might. Only then did the Mongolian army forcefully break through the enemy formation and annihilate all the elite Jin troops.
After the Battle of Yehuling, the backbone of the Jin army was broken, and their morale collapsed like mud. There was no longer anything to worry about. After that, every time they fought with the Mongolian army, they expected that their side would fail before the battle.
They fled suddenly, everyone just wanted to escape faster than their companions.
This situation repeated again and again, and the ferocity of the Mongols became more and more frightening as the Jin army's defeated troops spread the news. As a result, the subsequent battles of the Mongolian army became easier and easier, and more and more destructive. The three-pronged attack on the Jin the year before last
During the process, Ah'erhesar never saw the Jin army capable of fighting hard. For half a year, apart from marching, all he and his troops experienced were massacres and looting.
This kind of overly relaxed tossing and turning even made Ah'erhesa'er a little tired, feeling that his strength and talents could not be fully utilized.
However, the Ding Haijun in front of us must be a good opponent.
In the eyes of the Aljinchis, this navy must be stronger than the small army on Yehuling back then... It is indeed the army that Genghis Khan regarded as his great enemy!
Since the last expedition south to conquer Jin, all the defeats of the Mongolian army have been caused by Ding Haijun.
When the fourth prince Tolei was defeated in the battle, many Mongolian nayans secretly wondered whether the son of Genghis Khan had focused all his energy on pleasing the Great Khan, but had forgotten the duty of a Mongolian warrior. As a result, the Red Horse Prince Consort also
Others are also despised.
Later, it was believed that Chen Nayan's troops suffered great losses in Liaodong, and the ridicule became much less frequent. This was because Chen Nayan was the father of Chiju's Prince Consort, the leader of the Hongjila tribe, and the wife of Genghis Khan, Bortiewu.
A true younger brother. He has followed Genghis Khan in east and west expeditions over the years. All the thousand families under him are elite and recognized by various ministries as the main force of the Mongolian army. According to Chen Nayan's four thousand families, they were easily defeated by Guo Ning in Liaodong.
, more than half were killed or injured. In this case, who dares to underestimate the Ding Navy?
Thinking again of Zhebei's death in battle not long ago... Ah'erhesa'er stared at the military formation opposite, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
The smoke and dust stirred up by the Alkinchis as they galloped around the formation were slowly falling, making the complete shape of the military formation seem to emerge from the clouds and mist.
A'erhaihesar's battlefield experience is very rich, but this is the first time he has seen such an army at close range. Facing the harassment of Mongolian light cavalry, the officers and soldiers of the Ding Navy did nothing and just stood quietly.
He stood and maintained the stability of the formation. This stability was full of contempt, and in the eyes of Aerhehesar, it was like a mountain that was unshakable.
"This is a strong enemy, indeed a strong enemy!"
Ah'erhesar felt his blood begin to boil. He felt that the beast-like instinct in his body that had not been functioning for a long time was ecstatic. Such an enemy army cannot be shaken by one or two nuisances. I am afraid it will require multiple echelons.
The cavalry took turns to go into battle and fired arrows ten or more times to gradually induce chaos in their ranks.
He said to himself: "We are going to fight a tough battle!"
Just as he turned his horse around and prepared to report to Genghis Khan, a high-pitched horn sounded from behind the Mongolian cavalry, and a larger cavalry team, including at least two thousand Huoerchi, and an equal number of armored cavalry were dispatched.
. They spread out the endless queue and began to speed up, passing the Alkinchi who were staying in front of the Dinghai navy array.
The momentum of the cavalry galloping this time was ten times stronger than the last time. Thousands of cavalry and thousands of horses galloped, as if the black tide was rushing out from the deep sea and was about to destroy everything in front of them.
However, in the Dinghai navy formation, the generals surrounding Guo Ning stared at the approaching large group of cavalry, but no one said a word. In the solemn military formation, only a few horses in the cavalry group slightly to the rear suddenly
Herod neighed. Fortunately, the knight kept soothing him, and the horse quickly calmed down.
There were also several academic staff officers who exchanged glances with each other, seeming a little nervous. Wang Shixian, who was standing next to Guo Ning on horseback, noticed the faces of these young people, so he laughed and said to them: "It doesn't matter, the Mongolians are also
It’s just the same old thing.”
It has been ten years since Wang Shixian was sent to Northern Xinjiang. During these ten years, he and the Mongols have fought countless battles. There are a large number of soldiers in the Ding Navy who have the background of the Northern Xinjiang defeat, and many of them have more fighting experience than the Mongols.
Wang Shixian is even more knowledgeable. They are also very familiar with the Mongolian tactics.
At the front of the array more than 120 steps away from Guo Ning, Qiu Huiluo's deputy and marching commander Zhang Xin also sneered and said: "The Mongolian army is still using the same old tactics. The second group of cavalry is coming, so use your bows and arrows.
.Don’t panic, everyone, just listen to my orders!”
He coughed slightly, spit thick phlegm on the ground, and held an iron shield in his hand tighter.
