Guo Ning’s words were like the beginning of battlefield mobilization.
But he only spoke half of it, and suddenly stopped. This was because he had built the army in front of him from scratch, and he knew what the soldiers were thinking.
Is there anything good to mobilize?
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew past, passing over the faces of the soldiers. The flags suddenly waved, and the neighing of cattle, horses, donkeys and mules came and went. The front and rear of the marching column were obscured by smoke and dust, almost
Can't see the edges clearly.
The soldiers walked quickly past Guo Ning, their footsteps rumbling. Several generals and team members noticed that Guo Ning was standing by the road, and quickly issued orders to adjust the formation and cheer up their companions. The senior
When Pu Liyan Liu passed by Guo Ning, he patted his armor on his chest and nodded slightly to Guo Ning.
Starting with him, when the soldiers passed by Guo Ning, they would pat their armor or raise their weapons.
Guo Ning nodded in response.
Don't think that the soldiers are ignorant. Many of the backbones of the Ding Navy have waded out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to survive. They have a sense of smell tempered by life and death, and can smell the unspeakable tension in the air. From the moment Guo Ning gave the order to retreat,
From the moment they understand everything, they are ready.
These soldiers once held swords in the hands of foreigners and fought with blood for the Kingdom of Jin.
The Jurchens used decades of humiliation and bullying to try to make them numb and docile. The Mongols tried to destroy their martial spirit and courage with constant massacres. Of course, sometimes the Jurchens also massacred, and the Mongols also
Being able to humiliate and bully are all basic operations for a small number of foreigners to enter the domain. They don't need to be taught by anyone, and they can learn it by themselves.
Fortunately, the officers and men are already members of the Ding Navy.
In the group Ding Haijun, they have a family and dignity, so no matter the tricks of the Mongols or Jurchens, they are useless. The soldiers of Ding Haijun only fight for themselves, and they hold their own swords in their hands.
.
At this time, more familiar faces were passing by Guo Ning. Their faces could not conceal their exhaustion, but they were not depressed. Many people looked at Guo Ning, with concealed impatience and questions in their eyes.
But at the same time, there is also hope.
Guo Ning is very convinced that this army does not need extra encouragement or special language to mobilize. They can fight at any time!
"The Mongols know that once our army reaches Bazhou, we can rely on the cover of many ponds and remain invincible; therefore, their method of repeatedly harassing the tired enemy is useless. The Mongols know that what we have on hand
The weapons and food supplies are sufficient, and there are many water sources along the way, so we can hold on by setting up camp; therefore, their method of covering the battlefield and trapping the enemy is useless. The Mongols have seen that our infantry formations are indestructible, and our iron artillery is infinitely powerful; therefore,
Their methods of attacking and drilling through are useless."
Guo Ning laughed and asked several subordinates around him: "So, what methods do the Mongols have left?"
Yila Chucai frowned in thought and shook his head. He was not a warrior and had no experience when it came to this specific tactical choice.
So Zhao Jue replied: "Chaos and detours."
"Exactly!" Guo Ning clapped his hands.
"The remaining methods of the Mongols are nothing more than these two. The Tatars on these grasslands are neither afraid of death nor suffering. They have a frighteningly high fighting spirit and are all cunning. Therefore, after all the methods were useless, they will
Use the trump card to win chaos."
"Right now, our army is in a marching formation. Once it encounters the enemy, it will be difficult to hold its ground. The Mongolian cavalry enters like a peach bush and infiltrates intensively with teams of hundreds or even ten people. It will immediately pull the entire army into chaos and kill.
The situation. But..."
Zhao Jue asked at the right time: "We have a flat road along the way. Where will the Mongolian army come from?"
"You just said, in a roundabout way."
Zhao Jue suddenly understood: "Xuan Envoy, I will prepare immediately."
In the past few days, Guo Ning's team has been at the forefront of the entire army. Guo Ning waved his hand, and Zhao Jue led his followers and galloped towards the front of the queue.
Yizai Chucai was a little confused: "Huh? Commander Zhao, this is..."
"The Mongolian cavalry harassed us day and night, as if to delay our retreat so that the cavalry led by the Tatar Khan could catch up. However, if we really focus on the rear group, we will suffer big losses.
The main force of the Mongolian cavalry has traveled a long distance and must have arrived at the most suitable place for them to hide and launch an attack."
"I understand. It's like they are hiding in the Jinkou Camp, waiting for us to arrive around Zhongdu."
"That's right. But in that scene three days ago, they were still too far away. As a result, we formed a formation in time and shattered their teeth. This time they will be more patient and will hide in the ambush position until we get close.
, and then made a sudden attack. The one hundred and seventy-mile journey from Liangxiang to Yijin Pass in Bazhou was surrounded by plains. There were a few woods, but the area was too small. Our sentry cavalry could detect them clearly at a glance, but there was nothing we could do.
Hiding the army. So, if I guess correctly..."
Hearing this, Yi La Chu Cai Rao had done a good job in cultivating Qi, and his heart couldn't help but beat a few times.
"If your guess is correct, what will happen?"
Guo Ning raised his whip and pointed to the south: "While we were marching forcefully, the Mongolian army must have made a major detour and crossed the front of the road our army must pass. Their ambush position is there."
"Triangle Lake?"
Yi La Chucai straightened his body on his horse and looked over there. He vaguely saw the endless reed marsh. The open shallow water beach behind the reed marsh was reflecting the sparkling light in the sun.
Triangle Lake is the last famous lake after Tangluo in Hebei Province stretches to the sea. Its waters extend across seven military prefectures, stretching 160 miles from east to west and 20 to 30 miles or 670 miles from north to south. The area is very vast.
The Dinghai navy's marching team was now approaching its edge, and the front troops were only a few miles away from the reed swamp.
"The area is large enough to allow a large army to hide. And the surface of the lake can conceal the traces of the cavalry's movements, making it difficult for our sentry cavalry to detect it?"
"Yes! The area around Tangluo Lake in Hebei Province is the most suitable for ambushes and interceptions. "Back then, I ambushed the tow mine headquarters in Wuguandian, Baozhou, and caused the Mongolian army to suffer a big loss. Now the Mongolian army is using this trick.
Come and deal with me."
Speaking of this, Guo Ning couldn't help laughing twice: "Although spring has begun, the water is still cold. I don't know how long it took the Mongols to detour here, and how long they soaked in the water of Triangle Lake. I don't know if they are cold or not?"
Are you tired?"
Having said this, Guo Ning lightly lifted the reins and urged the horse forward. The staff exchanged glances with each other and followed silently.
After walking for another two or three miles, I suddenly heard a terrifying roar in front of me, like a tidal wave.
"Here we come." Guo Ning said calmly to his staff.
The group of people left the marching column again and rode up to a small high ground nearby.
The plain between Zhongdu and Tangluo in Hebei Province is a natural battlefield, most suitable for cavalry to gallop across. As far as everyone can see, there is a wilderness covered with grass and shrubs everywhere, with only a few ups and downs.
Several abandoned ditches and ruined town ruins.
When they looked to the south, they saw the densely packed figures of the Mongols.
When thousands of people urged their war horses to emerge from the reed swamps, the clattering sounds of the horses' hooves on the water gathered together, and the roar surged like a torrent. As the horses galloped, the black or gray robes of the Mongolian knights were dragged in the air.
Swinging, like the rising tide of the black and gray ocean, rushing towards the land.
This tide is intelligent and deadly. Not only did they rush towards Ding Haijun's front team, they also circled rapidly from a few miles away on the right side of the marching road, forming a powerful flank, like a black tide.
The giant was stretching its huge left arm, trying to smash the long and slightly loose formation of the Dinghai Navy into pieces, and beat all the soldiers to death on the west bank of the Marco Polo River.
In just a few breaths, the cavalry's outflanking situation became more obvious. Facing Ding Haijun's longitudinally extending queue, they began to increase the speed of their war horses, and they rushed over like this, charging unreasonably!
The distance between the two sides is very close, and the Mongols will soon arrive!
"Crack."
A soft sound came from behind Guo Ning.
He looked back and found that Zhang Lin's hands were shaking, causing a riding whip with a jade handle to fall from his hand and fall to the ground.
It was one thing to listen to Guo Ning's analysis just now, but it was another thing to actually see his side stumbled into the Mongolian army's trap. At this time, even the soldiers who were marching below the high ground were
It was inevitable to make noise, let alone a scholar like Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin said in a trembling voice: "Xuanshi Yingming, you have said it all right. But, this is a dead end! How can we deal with it?"
