Under the gradually dimming sky, war horses galloped, warriors roared, and huge cavalry drove war horses of various colors soaring over the wilderness. What a magnificent sight it was, like a giant touching the sky and touching the ground, spreading mottled colors wantonly on the ground.
.The large or small pieces of color became alive as soon as they landed on the ground. They separated and rejoined, and kept swimming forward, trying to devour something.
Such scenes have continued on the grasslands for countless years. Every time they appear outside the grasslands, they represent irresistible power and terrible killings. The Mongolian army is especially among them, and the cowardly Xue army of the Mongolian Khan is also the Mongolian army.
The pinnacle of military force.
When he was in northern Xinjiang, Guo Ning had a brief battle with Qixue's army. The reason why it was short-lived was because every time Qixue's army entered the battlefield, it would quickly bring about his own defeat; when Guo Ning was mixed with the defeated troops,
Although they were trying to escape, these timid Xue troops were not so keen on pursuing them.
After Guo Ning settled in Shandong, he fought with the Mongols several times. Each time, his strength was stronger than before, and each time he could overwhelm the Mongolian army on the opposite side. But he still clearly remembered that if an ordinary Mongolian warrior
They are ferocious beasts, and the soldiers of the Cowardly Xue Army are hunters. They are calm, smart, bloodthirsty, cruel, and proficient in all the skills of fighting and slaughtering on the grassland.
When the knights of the Xue army gathered into a group and entered the battlefield, at first they drove straight in regardless of the number of enemies. However, in the process, they could quickly change their strategies according to the development of the situation, changing their attack into harassment at any time, and harassment into temptation.
The enemy, transforming the enemy into a delayed moment, transforming the delayed moment into collision from all directions at once.
All enemies who were defeated by them lost the initiative early and were led by their noses, eventually heading towards the abyss of failure step by step.
To be able to change tactics so freely requires not only excellent riding skills and close cooperation, but also exquisite command from captains of ten to captains of thousands and even the commander himself. Not to mention that the Mongolian army can rely on the superiority of cavalry to cover hundreds of miles.
The enemy has been constantly criticized and criticized, making the enemy exhausted. This is a struggle for strategic advantage that transcends time and place.
In these aspects, there is no way the Ding Navy can catch up in a short time. Even if Guo Ning invests a lot of force to expand the cavalry, the inherent shortcomings are there, and they can't be compared with it.
The most elite unit under Guo Ning's command is his Tiefutu cavalry. This cavalry adheres to the tradition of the Jin Army's Tiefutu. It is also as fierce and full of brute force as Guo Ning's own character, and is good at storming and sweeping the battlefield.
Guo Ning knew that his own commanding ability could only go so far. Fortunately, in battle formations, victory was not only possible with sophisticated and complex things.
Just now, Anzhen was sitting on the stone hill, angrily accusing Ding Haijun of fighting a stupid war. What he said was absolutely right. Guo Ning was planning to fight a stupid war. Moreover, he wanted to take the main force of the Mongolian army and fight him face to face.
Fight a silly battle on the drum ground.
The plan started when Han Xuan's troops unexpectedly killed Zhebie.
Zhebie was an important general who was personally promoted to the army after the rise of Genghis Khan. In a sense, his prestige was equal to that of Genghis Khan, and even represented the Mongolian army's confidence in their own invincibility.
It has been less than ten years since Genghis Khan held the Khulil Tower at the source of the Onan River and established the Great Mongolia. The many tribes on the grassland relied entirely on Genghis Khan's continuous military victories to unite in one place. This kind of
Cohesion naturally has its fragility.
Therefore, Jebe's death was by no means an ordinary defeat. Genghis Khan had to use a victory of sufficient weight to inspire people and overcome the impact of this defeat. The so-called victory of sufficient weight was either Daxingfu, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, or
It is the enemy that continues to create obstacles for the Great Mongolia, and it is the head of the navy Guo Ning. It must be one of the two.
Guo Ning had no objection to this.
He has always regarded the Mongolian army as a formidable enemy, and does not care about the Mongols' hostility towards him. What he least wants to see is that the Mongols use their cavalry to drive thousands of miles across the Jin Kingdom just like they did when they went south to conquer Jin.
territory.
Last time the fourth prince Tuo Lei led his troops into Shandong, he suffered a big loss because of his lack of understanding of Ding Haijun's power. But even so, Ding Haijun did not dare to kill Tuo Lei, and at the same time he was unable to prevent Tuo Lei from successively defeating Shandong.
Jin Jun vented his anger.
Two years later, the Ding Navy has become stronger and its soldiers more elite. If they were to fight head-on, Guo Ning was fully confident that he could at least overwhelm the ordinary Mongolian Qianhu.
The problem is that Ding Haijun's territory has expanded tenfold, and 13 military prefectures and 52 counties have to be protected everywhere. If Genghis Khan personally led his troops south to burn, kill, and plunder, how could Guo Ning cope with it? He tried his best
I have to stop it even if I die, but it is really difficult to stop it.
No matter how hard Ding Haijun fights, the battlefield will always be in Shandong. Wherever the Mongolian army goes, it can easily turn many military states on Shandong East Road into white ground, making the achievements of Ding Haijun up and down the road in vain. So, even if Guo Ning
In the end, the Mongolian army was driven away. Isn't this still a failure?
Therefore, the best plan is to go to Zhongdu to fight a stupid battle. The best situation is like this now. As soon as we arrive in Zhongdu, we will watch Genghis Khan use his most elite cavalry to kill him!
Guo Ning believed that with Genghis Khan's intelligence, he would be able to understand that the so-called baggage team that came to Zhongdu was the main force of the Ding Navy, and it must be led by Guo Ning himself. Now that he had discovered traces of the main force of the Ding Navy, Genghis Khan would never
Will give up the opportunity to wipe it out.
Of course, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Before Guo Ning sent troops to Zhongdu, the generals discussed behind closed doors several times and had no less than a dozen plans on hand. However, the situation in front of them happened to be exactly what the generals in the navy were particularly looking forward to.
.
Guo Ning had a stronger premonition about this the closer he got to Zhongdu.
To consider the current situation from another angle, after the Beijing Road fell into the control of the Mongolian army, the Xuanfu envoys in Hebei, Pusan Anzhen, and the Xuanfu envoys in Shandong, Guo Ning, were the only ones who could dispatch large armies to participate in the war in Zhongdu.
Senior officer.
With the Jin army directly under the imperial court shrinking to two strongholds in Zhongdu and Tongzhou, except for the fighting along the Lushui River, the vast land on Beijing Road has been allowed to run freely by the Mongolian army. The situation was so clear that the Mongols only had to drive dozens of
Thousands of troops descended from Beijing and used their lives to fill the trenches of Zhongdu. This was a very simple approach.
If Guo Ning and Pusan Anzhen really contacted the troops of Zhongdu and formed a fixed stronghold outside the city to act as a leverage... then it would add unnecessary variables to the battle situation.
Genghis Khan did not need such variables, so the Mongolian army would definitely destroy any enemy troops that dared to intervene in Zhongdu as soon as possible.
If the soldiers in these two places were annihilated under the walls of Zhongdu, it would also greatly shake the will of the Zhongdu court, which would be beneficial to Genghis Khan's subsequent strategy against Zhongdu.
So, aren’t the Mongols coming?
Ding Haijun's style of play certainly has its deliberate elements. If it starts with a head-on fight, for the Mongols, wouldn't it be nothing more than a stupid fight?
Guo Ning squinted his eyes and looked at the Mongolian cavalry in front of him who gradually filled his field of vision.
After the horses rushed into the military formation, the smoke and dust surrounding the military formation had settled slightly, allowing him to see far away. Not only was the Qie Xue army getting closer and closer, but Guo Ning also saw the tall Jiuhao White Tower in the distance.
feather fan.
That's where Genghis Khan is. It's an unprecedented enemy, but Guo Ning is ready, and so is Ding Haijun. This time, we can defeat him!
Guo Ning couldn't help raising his voice and shouted loudly: "Well done!"
The cavalry of the Xue Army rushed close in the blink of an eye. The armor they wore, the swords and guns they held, and the arrows about to fly from their open bows seemed to be shining brightly at this moment. All the soldiers in the Ding Navy queue
He also roared at the same time.
There are still a few frantic horses galloping around in Ding Haijun's queue.
Relying on arduous training, the soldiers restored the integrity of the military formation as quickly as possible. But those crazy horses were really a big trouble. Because of their delay, several formations had not had time to be reorganized. Several gaps were only at the outermost
Shielders were arranged to fill in the gap, and the internal staggered covering formation was far from being fully in place.
Even if the troops filled up the few positions in place, many soldiers arrived panting and had not yet put down their shields or leveled their spears.
The soldiers had already moved as fast as possible, but they were only a little slow.
The arrows fired by the Huo'erchi in Xue's army poured down on the unprepared soldiers at these gaps. Fortunately, Wang Shixian had already rushed to the front and took command. Under his order, the dense rain of arrows also came from
Ding Haijun's military formation flew up from within and covered the Mongolian cavalry.
In the last moments before the two sides engaged in battle, the arrows were like heavy rain being swept by strong winds. The raindrops crisscrossed in the air, and they were also like mountain torrents rushing out of different canyons, beating and tumbling with each other. Thousands of arrows flew across each other in the air.
, collided with each other, and then fell, causing a fatal blow to the other party.
