Where Old Liu looked was the Chinese army that Meng'an was trying to defeat in Hebei Province.
The high ground occupied by the fourth capital of Wu is the remaining branch of Liao Shi Gang to the west. It is not very far from the Chinese army of Pusan Anzhen. When Old Liu looked up, he could see the Hebei Meng'an Mou Ke army.
There were a large number of soldiers. They didn't even want to queue up. They all crowded together on the west side of the high slope to watch the battle, occasionally pointing.
Behind the dense audience, there was a six-foot-tall commander's flag erected. Old Liu could vaguely make out that a group of figures in bright clothes and angry horses were surrounding the commander's flag. They were naturally senior officials and generals of the Hebei Army.
them.
A long time ago, when Old Liu saw these Jurchen nobles, he would subconsciously bow his head. If he got closer, his knees would become weak and he would kneel down and kowtow. But now he looked calmly, and while watching,
He also used a critical eye.
On the stone hill, many Jurchen officers noticed Ding Haijun's attention and knew that Ding Haijun was guarding against them.
Half a while ago, even though they themselves were also facing a huge threat from the Mongolian army, they sneered and said that all the men in the navy were stunned. They were targeted by the Mongols and they dared to plot against us. But now
, no one said anything, and no one sneered. Instead, the Jurchens became a little stunned. So much so that the entire military camp on the stone hill suddenly became quiet.
Just then, taking advantage of the opportunity of his own soldiers to watch the battle, Pusan Anzhen quietly mobilized his troops, pulled out the elite cavalry from each department, and gathered them around him.
After discovering that Genghis Khan personally led the army here, Pusan Anzhen panicked for a while. But he was by no means an incompetent person. He retreated from fear and thought of the next plan.
It would definitely not work to fight the Mongols together with Ding Haijun. If a certain Mongolian army came, they might be able to fight, but Genghis Khan came in person, and Pusan Anzhen didn't believe that he could fight against them. Hebei Meng'an
To defeat the Xue army in the face of the Mongolian army is to risk death.
It is a dead end to stay on the stone hill. After the Mongols defeated Ding Haijun, would they let Pusan Anzhen's troops go? These black Tatars finished their meal, wiped their mouths, and then continued to eat
Damn, it’s just a matter of time!
Since we can't fight or defend, the only way to survive is to leave.
Fortunately, the first goal of the Mongols is to control the navy, and the navy is a tough nut to crack after all. It is not easy for the Mongols to eat them up in one go. Sooner or later, those 10,000 Mongolian cavalry will have to fight with the entire army. So, our side is just right.
Taking advantage of the entanglement between the Mongols and Ding Haijun, they quickly retreated.
If Ding Haijun persists longer, for example, in one or two days, the Hebei Army can retreat to Yijin Pass, which is the best. If Ding Haijun dies quickly, Pusan Anzhen will have no choice but to cut off his tail to survive and defeat Meng An.
The infantry of the army threw it out to cushion the sword heads.
Although such a loss is heartbreaking, there is no other way to save one's life. Fortunately, there are still a thousand elite cavalry on hand, and they are surrounding the commander, so going to Yijin Pass is not a big problem.
After arriving at Yijin Pass, they could not stop. They had to summon reserve troops immediately to deal with subsequent changes in the situation.
This time the Mongolian army went south, and its target was obviously Zhongdu. After they killed Guo Ning's troops, they would definitely attack Zhongdu again, and not come to Hebei. At that time, the most beneficial way for me to disperse Anzhen was
There is no better way to stabilize the northern border than to spread the news of Guo Ning's defeat and death to the south with great fanfare.
Most of Guo Ning's subordinates are small characters who have suddenly become rich and powerful. Guo Ning has no heirs, so his relatives can inherit the business. Once he is defeated and dies, the people who stay in Shandong will inevitably break out into internal strife. As a whole, the Dinghai navy is certainly terrifying.
It is a powerful enemy, but if it is divided into several or dozens of families, it will be easier to deal with.
If I exert a little influence on it, maybe there will be unexpected surprises...
Being able to instantly think of the next five or ten steps of military strategy in such a bad situation, Pusan Anzhen is by no means an incompetent person, and his vision is outstanding.
Because of this idea, he was too lazy to urge his subordinates to strengthen their positions. Anyway, he would run away when the time came, so he might as well conserve some physical strength so that he could run faster when the time came. And the Hebei Meng An Mooke under his command
, and most of them are good at judging the situation. The general is clearly planning to escape, so who is still pretending to be stupid?
In the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers were in chaos. They were not in units, not in groups, and they were all crowded together in a few open places overlooking the battlefield to the west of Liaoshi Gang. Thousands of spectators did not care.
Both those who understood and those who didn't understood pretended to be watching the battle, but in reality they just waited for Pusan Anzhen's order and began to run away.
But Pusan Anzhen never expected that the war would develop like this.
Ding Haijun actually killed the Mongols and gained the upper hand?
The timid Xue army, which numbered more than a thousand or nearly two thousand, died now?
Not only Pusan Anzhen himself, but also many of his staff and subordinates were ready to retreat and had put their luggage on the horses, but now everyone was in a daze.
"Since the fifth year of Taihe, Temujin has been campaigning east and west, and I heard he has never been defeated. I didn't expect he suffered such a big loss today!"
The Olet Tiger was so frightened by the fighting that his uniform was soaked through and stuck to his body layer by layer. He tugged at his uniform and said in a trembling voice: "I never thought about using infantry to conquer the enemy.
Against the Mongolian cavalry, how can we lure the enemy deep and annihilate them together! By the way, where did they get so many iron artillery? Isn't this thing only in the arsenal of Zhongdu?"
Wanyan Xianlun spat fiercely: "The key is not the iron artillery! It's their soldiers! Damn it, think about it, just now the Mongols penetrated and chopped up their entire front line! But those soldiers didn't mess up
, as long as the Chinese army gives an order, they can turn back to surround and kill the Mongols! How can these Dinghai soldiers be so tenacious?"
He said sternly: "Can we do it if we change it? If our Hebei army were in that position, we would not be able to wait for the iron artillery to show its power. Once the front army is defeated, the army will begin to collapse!"
"Nonsense! They were made with land and money." Wanyanbei replied angrily: "The whole navy must be rebels. They burned, killed and looted in Shandong and made countless benefits! Since ancient times, rebels have always been better than officials.
The army must be more aggressive!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Pusan Anzhen coughed hard: "Ding Haijun is our friendly force. They have the upper hand. That is a good thing! Tell me, what should our army do next?"
Everyone was silent for a moment. After a while, Wanyan replied with his back: "Thousands of cowardly Xue troops were killed. This is not only a failure, but also a shame and humiliation. Genghis Khan cannot swallow his anger and admit defeat! It's not dark yet, the Mongols
There is still time, and they still have at least seven or eight intact thousand-man troops in their hands, half of which are elite troops of the Xue Army. If the Mongols attack fiercely, Ding Hainan may not be able to gain a favor."
"That is to say..."
"Two tigers are fighting, one is injured and the other is killed! Envoy, this is a good thing! Let's take the opportunity to leave, let the soldiers prepare pine torches, and travel at night!"
Pusan Anzhen thought for a while and sighed.
Wanyan pointed on his back in the direction of the Mongolian army headquarters: "Look, Commander, there is a large amount of smoke and dust rising up, reaching the sky and touching the ground! It's the Mongolian cavalry who are mobilizing urgently, and they won't stop!"
Pusan Anzhen took two hurried steps there and squinted her eyes to watch.
The sky was a little dark, and in the blink of an eye, the sight was closer than before, and I couldn't see clearly how the Mongols planned it. But the smoke and dust were obvious.
"That's it, prepare to retreat overnight! You all go and prepare, and gather your troops and horses!" Pusan Anzhen nodded.
Wanyan Beida and other generals were overjoyed and hurriedly went out to make arrangements. Not long after they left the Chinese army, the noise of the soldiers outside became uncontrollable. It seemed that the Mongols were more terrifying after all, even if the navy had the upper hand for the time being.
, and no one thought they could overwhelm Genghis Khan in this battle.
The violent noise made Pusan Anzhen very depressed.
He said that the Ding Navy was a friendly force, but in fact he hoped that both the Ding Navy and the Mongols would suffer, and the more people would die, the better. But the Ding Navy could fight head-on with the Mongols, but the Hebei Meng'an Mouke was so unbearable, and the comparison was too much.
It was so vivid. It made his chest feel uncomfortable, and he almost vomited blood.
At this time, all the generals had left, and the Chinese army suddenly became deserted. Only Wanyan Youlun and Olethu had nothing to do because they had lost military power and were still looking at the battlefield.
"Actually, the Mongols have another very powerful trick, which is to drive defeated soldiers or slaves into battle." Olethu, a veteran who had fought against the Mongols several times, commented: "It is more powerful than the previous one.
Thousands of war horses are much more powerful."
Wanyan had read a few of Han'er's military books and immediately responded: "That's nothing new. The method of using the strong to attack the weak and defeat the attacker has been around for a long time. When Dajin rose, we had to deal with the Liao Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was used to using tens of thousands of troops to defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies at every turn. Fortunately, the soldiers and civilians around Zhongdu had long since fled, and the Mongols had no place to take the defeated troops...
"
"Yes, yes, so they can only storm the Dinghai navy's strong formation!"
The two people were discussing casually, talking about the specific tactics of the Mongolian army. When these words fell into Pusan Anzhen's ears, he felt a sudden chill in his heart.
I read the book review yesterday, and I have some thoughts that I still want to reiterate. I personally like detailed and complicated descriptions of war, and I like describing battlefields from various perspectives. If you readers can continue reading, it will be an honor for me; if you cannot, I will

Well, that’s it. When I have time, I will delete a batch of book reviews.
