To the east of Shigang, below the high slope where the fourth and fifth troops of Wu are stationed, the light is quite bright because it is facing the setting sun. However, there are still some torches lit inside the camp that was originally used to house grain and baggage.
The soldiers came in and out, their figures wavering in the firelight, spreading mottled tones of dark shadows and warm colors to the surrounding area.
There were a few scattered tents in the camp, all of which had just been used to house the remains of fallen navy soldiers.
Guo Ning still led his troops to confront the Mongolian Khan, but it was getting late, and the time left for the Mongols to launch another fierce attack was very short. Although horses have night eyes, human vision at night is limited after all. At night
, the Mongols can at most use a few hundred elites to conduct small-scale infiltration raids. It is really not possible to deploy thousands of cavalry or even more troops to carry out their high-speed, changeable and precise penetrations.
Therefore, while Ding Haijun was on alert, he took advantage of dusk to tidy up his military formation.
In the battle just now, Mongolian elite cavalry broke into the formation and were killed numerous times. The navy's casualties were also not small, because the battlefield was directly inside the military formation. If so many corpses were piled up, it would be inconvenient for the troops.
Mobilization will inevitably affect one's own morale.
So Guo Ning specially mobilized a team of soldiers to throw the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry into the field, and then placed the remains of his own fallen soldiers in the camp below the high slope. This camp was originally planned by Guo Ning and his guards.
The surrounding environment is good.
The remains of the soldiers are temporarily placed here. When the war with Genghis Khan comes to an end, their auxiliary soldiers will cut down the wood and burn the remains. The ashes will then be sent back to Shandong, or given to the relatives of the deceased, or placed in the Martyrs' Temple in Laishan.
.
These are clearly stipulated in the military, and there are standard procedures, so they can be done very quickly.
It's just that the soldiers responsible for placing the remains were inevitably a little melancholy.
This high ground controlled the flanks of the army. The person responsible for this place was Zhang Hui, a fierce general under Wang Shixian. At this moment, Zhang Hui walked past the corpses and looked at the corpse of General Feng Du of the Sixth Capital. He remained silent for a long time.
.
General Feng Du, like Zhang Hui, was born as a defeated soldier who fled to Zhongdu. After Hu Shahu usurped and died, he returned to Guo Ning. Before joining Guo Ning, the two had trusted each other with their lives on the battlefield.
We share weal and woe. This time Guo Ning led his troops back to Zhongdu. When chatting with Zhang Hui, General Feng Du sighed with emotion and said that this was a return to his hometown in glory.
Unexpectedly, in the first fierce battle after arriving in Zhongdu, General Feng Du died in the battle. Thinking that he still had a lovely wife and young son waiting for him at home, Zhang Hui made up his mind. After returning to Shandong, he must take care of him and not let his old man's orphans and widows be left alone.
My mother was wronged.
While I was thinking, a rapid horn sounded from high on the hillside.
Zhang Hui immediately ran straight up the hillside. Before he could stand firm, he shouted sharply: "What's the matter?"
Without waiting for an answer from his subordinates, he noticed the situation on the opposite fabric stone hill.
The Jurchens on that highland originally had their flags fluttering, their formations were strict, and their camps were well-organized, giving them the look of a strong army.
This fierce Jurchen Anmoke army escorted Guo Ning's "baggage team" all the way north. Although there was no tough battle along the way, it did defeat many Mongolian affiliated troops in a short period of time. Although Zhang Hui and others were proud of themselves, they also
They all felt that Pusan Anzhen was really good at training and running the army. This fierce Anmou Ke army was much stronger than the soldiers and horses he brought to Qinghe Town, Shandong.
But at this moment, the entire continuous camp on the stone hill was boiling like cold water poured into a hot oil pan.
Zhang Hui heard fierce screams coming one after another to the east of the Jin army's camp, and he seemed to hear Jurchen generals roaring angrily, ordering the soldiers to resist.
He saw countless people running around, and many people were climbing over the fence of the camp. The crowds gathered like a waterfall and began to pour on the hillside where Ding Haijun was. He saw where the Hebei Army's Central Army was, and there seemed to be some
The soldiers who had weapons in their hands were persuaded by the general and stopped hesitantly. A few tall generals with bright armor gathered a group of soldiers, and then they rushed to the other side of the hillock, and their figures quickly disappeared.
Zhang Hui asked in shock: "What's going on? Did the Hebei military camp roar?"
Several soldiers nearby could not answer for a moment, but Pu Liyan, named Liu, said solemnly: "It should be the Mongols who are attacking. I heard the Mongols shouting just now!"
Zhang Hui had fought many battles with the Mongols, and was very impressed by that unique guttural sound. He listened carefully, and his face suddenly changed: "The Mongolian army is really coming! The Jurchens are going to collapse!"
After a pause, Zhang Hui couldn't help but curse: "These Jurchens are all trash! They have a strong camp at a high place, and they were beaten like this by the Mongols?"
The next moment, Zhang Hui came to his senses. No wonder the Mongols, after losing a battle, were in vain as a deterrent from the outside, but were not eager to fight again. They were prepared to use the lives of these Jurchens as a sword! The Mongolian army wanted to drive away the Jurchens.
Charge into battle!
"Blow the whistle and warn the envoy immediately!"
The Ming Dys continued to rise into the sky, making sharp noises. Zhang Hui's face was full of furrowed beard, and he still stamped his feet: "No matter how useless the Jurchens are, after all, they are condescending and there are so many... they are really a big trouble!"
After complaining for a few words, he ordered his subordinates to prepare a bunch of swords, guns and armor, and prepare to stop the Jurchens' attack on the hilltop where he was stationed. As he was issuing orders repeatedly, Pu Liyan, who had pointed out the Mongols' movements before, approached Zhang Hui and whispered:
"Qianji, can you listen to me?"
Such two-level speech was against the usual military rules. However, the Ding Navy was not as hierarchical as the Jin Army. Zhang Hui also knew that Pu Liyan, surnamed Liu, had been in the army for many years and was quite knowledgeable, so he immediately said:
"you say!"
"It would be a big trouble if we just sit and wait for the Jurchens to rush down, but why should we wait?"
"You mean..."
Lao Liu pointed to the height of the material stone hillock: "During the day, I took a look at the surrounding terrain. The east side of the material stone hillock is towering, and the rocks are scattered and rugged. The west side of the material stone hillock, towards our side, is much flatter.
.So, although the chaos caused by the Mongols was violent, their speed of rushing up to the camp high on the Liaoshi Hill must have been slower than ours!"
"Hmm? Us?"
"That's right! Qian Ju, let's move out immediately, break up the momentum of the Jurchens along the way, and rush up to the Liaoshi Hill in one go! If we move fast enough, we can seize the Hebei Army's camp before the Mongols and put the Mongolian Army behind
Block it back!"
"this……"
Zhang Hui was already applauded for this idea. The only thing he was worried about was that the Hebei Meng'an Mou Ke Army was considered a friendly force after all. If he counterattacked all the way up, he would have to kill the Jurchens to death before they encountered the Mongols.
Flow into a river.
I wonder if there are any taboos on Guo Xuanshi's side?
But this hesitation passed in an instant. Zhang Hui was originally a fierce general. Seeing that an ordinary soldier under his command had such courage and such a straightforward decision, his blood surged. No matter how difficult it was to suppress, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, giving orders.
The armies assemble.
And just as the soldiers gathered together to determine the direction of the navy's central force, a cavalry messenger came rushing over on horseback: "Zhang Qian is in charge!"
"I am here!"
"The envoy is telling you, is your title of Sai Zhang Fei a lie? Are the two soldiers in your hands a lie? If the Mongols come, I will defeat them. If the Jurchens collapse, you will have to go.
Convince! Take the material stone hill immediately. If there are obstacles along the way, just kill people, hurry up!"
Zhang Hui was overjoyed: "Yes!"
Both Dinghai soldiers took action immediately.
Liao Shi Gang is also called Liao Shi Gang, which is now Haotian Park in Fangshan District, Beijing. Legend has it that this is the place where Mengliang stole bones, and there are also the remains of pagodas from the Liao Dynasty. However, the terrain of the park is actually very flat, and it is not the same as the Liangxiang County Chronicle.
