Almost all of the last batch of Jurchen generals who could lead troops to fight were concentrated in the Kaifeng court.
Sometimes when Li Ting thinks about it, he admires Tu Shanyi's foresight. If Guo Ning's rise had not been faster than expected, the Kaifeng court would have had a chance to gain a firm foothold and even wipe out the bad governance of the past few decades.
The new attitude gives Daikin a new life.
Apart from anything else, when it comes to employment, none of the generals appointed by the Kaifeng imperial court are incompetent. Even a man who is strong on the outside but can do nothing on the inside, such as Nian Jinzhong, is defeated by the general situation rather than by his own mistakes.
As for the Wanyan Heda in front of him, he was even more extraordinary. It was clear that supplies were scarce, military pay was insufficient, and the Hedong Road behind him was threatened. Strategically, the troops were completely passive, but the raid he launched was extremely fierce.
Li Ting put himself in his shoes and calculated that he would also choose to make a surprise attack. The two of them had the same idea.
Unfortunately, the Ding Navy is already a completely different army.
In the past year, the navy's training has never stopped, and every time there is a formal order to see reliable results, which even includes long-distance sergeant exercises of more than two hundred miles, using high-intensity marches and simulations
Combat is used to temper the army, and during exercises, the opponents pretending to be the enemy are all composed of experienced officers, and all omissions on one's own side cannot be covered up at all.
Li Ting even wrote a letter to Guo Ning about this, feeling that many details were too detailed and there was no need to be so serious. Moreover, such training would also consume too much money and food, and would not be cost-effective.
But Guo Ning persisted, and the results gradually emerged.
At this time, Li Ting was very convinced that his side was much better than the army of beggars assembled by Wanyan Heda in all aspects needed for an army. All the advantages together could not be redeemed by any strategy, even if it was completely
Yan Heda made a surprise attack in the wind and rain, but he could not stop Ding Haijun from crushing him.
Now is the best time to start crushing. Everything is arranged, it is so unpretentious and boring.
"Commander Jie, the enemy is coming!" The attendant stepped forward to report.
Li Ting poked his head outside to take a look.
The heavy rain seems to have weakened a little, the thunder has not sounded for a long time, and there is no light in the sky. The field of vision is getting darker and darker.
Li Ting waved his hand: "Light up all the pine torches! Let's have a bright and shining battlefield!"
From the moment the Jin army approached the camp, the entire camp was plunged into darkness.
This is the unavoidable impact of the heavy rain, and the bonfires that should be everywhere cannot be maintained at all. This is also the confidence of the Jin Army's continuous deepening. Everyone feels that the battle is so fierce that the enemy's Chinese army is not moving at all.
Maybe they panicked! Maybe the enemy's general has escaped!
But at this time, the soldiers who received Li Ting's order shook the fires in their hands and lit the pine torches that had been covered by straw sheds and felt cloths in various watchtowers. From a dozen to dozens, and then
There are hundreds of branches, and the lighting ranges are connected with each other, outlining the entire central military camp.
The outside of the Chinese army's company camp was heavily contested. Although it was a temporary garrison, the layout of the horses and wooden fences was meticulous and there was no oversight at all.
Under the firelight, the armor of the soldiers standing behind Juma reflected red light, and the weapons they held high like a forest also shone with light. The continuous light almost formed a huge halo. In the dark night rain,
All this looks dazzling and breathtaking!
At the same time as the light suddenly brightened, the running Jin soldiers suddenly stepped on the ground subconsciously. Not to accelerate the impact, but to slow down the speed. The sound of thousands of people stepping on the ground almost merged into a unified muffled sound, and then with another
Keep moving forward instinctively.
Li Ting walked up to a watchtower and looked again. The rain curtain in the distance was blocking his view, so he still couldn't see clearly. He could only feel the shadows and a large lake. But within the scope of the firelight, groups of enemy soldiers covered in mud and blood rolled over.
It rolled forward, like some kind of gray-white herd of wild beasts that were migrating with the strong wind and rain, but were suddenly blocked by the bright light.
The beasts relied on their ferocious aura to get rid of the obstruction all the way, but at this point, their energy had almost faded away. All of them expected that the navy would be in chaos, but when they rushed to the end, they saw that the Chinese army in front of them was extremely orderly, which meant that
What?
All of them, relying on the heavy rain and strong winds, and the courage they mustered up in the dark night, are rapidly fading under this sudden burst of brightness!
The enemy troops were still moving forward, but their steps suddenly slowed down. Their shouts also changed from crazy to hesitant, from hesitant to low. Instead, the high-pitched shouts of the generals urging the battle could be faintly heard: "
Go ahead! Go ahead! The marshal has an order, kill Li Ting, and immediately be promoted to Commander-in-Chief and rewarded with thousands of crowns!"
"Huh?" Li Ting said angrily: "Is it worth being unified?"
The general comforted him: "I still have Wan Guan, which is not too small."
"It also depends on whether you pay banknotes or copper coins... Oops! Oops!"
Li Ting cursed a few words, raised his voice violently, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum! Attack! Kill them!"
The originally calm rhythm of the drums suddenly became passionate, and the drumbeats were as dense as falling raindrops.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The iron men standing in the pouring rain roared.
In such weather, standing in the rain wearing iron armor, even if you don't move the whole time, is a severe test of physical fitness, not to mention on a highly emotional battlefield. Not to mention, experienced soldiers all understand that in such heavy rain,
If you stand in the open air during lightning, you are likely to be struck by a thunderstorm.
But Ding Haijun's military orders are like a mountain. Since Li Ting gave the order, no one can disobey it.
On the other hand, in the face of the enemy's night attack, the most appropriate way to deal with it is to defend the edge of the camp, repel the enemy, and then consider the next offensive and defensive strategy at dawn. But since Li Ting ordered the enemy to be brought in to fight, he wanted to
His own tenacity and explosiveness were brought into full play. He wanted to kill the enemy all at once, regardless of the cost or danger!
There is no problem with this, because this is the most proficient tactic used by everyone in the Ding Navy. It is a special skill that is repeatedly required to be practiced in the training manual of the Ding Navy. Its origin comes from the time when the Jurchens emerged from the white mountains and black waters.
It is to imitate the battlefield planning of making changes to contain the enemy, and then using elites to launch fatal attacks.
Since the person who inherited the martial power of the Jin Kingdom has become a Han'er, then it is perfect to use the Jurchens' tactics to wipe out the force controlled by the Jurchens!
Li Ting gave the order and the Chinese army suddenly launched into action.
The shield resting on the ground was raised, and the ferocious figures on the shield seemed to be dancing in the firelight. The spears raised to the sky made a clattering sound, and turned into a low flat end, and the sharp spear head emerged from behind the shield.
It looked like some kind of ancient beast made of steel with countless sharp claws sticking out.
As they moved forward, wooden fences were knocked down one after another, and the resisting horses were moved away. The iron stream poured out from the Chinese military camp and poured into the dense enemy ranks without any hindrance.
A path of blood was washed out.
If the Jin army could maintain the morale they had just after they invaded the camp, they might not have suffered such heavy losses. But the courage they mustered up in the night and rain was completely unable to be used on the bright battlefield. Their physical strength was already in the twenties.
The march in the rain and the continuous fighting took too much.
When the soldiers of the Ding Navy marched forward in neat steps, they instantly felt the panic and wavering of their own side.
A few days ago, when the two sides were entangled from Mingzhou to Cizhou, the soldiers of the Jin Army did not feel this way.
Because most of the confrontations between the two sides were completed by selecting elites to test each other without using their full strength, Wanyan Heda was able to maintain a tough stance to frighten the enemy.
But now, the two sides are facing each other, fighting hand-to-hand. The two armies have no room and cannot deal with each other. Whoever retreats will be defeated, and whoever loses will die...
Previously, the Jin Army officers and soldiers rushed into Ding Haijun's barracks, but they were still unable to make Ding Haijun disperse with a bang. Many Jin Army generals had doubts. When the two armies collided under the bright lights of the Chinese Army camp, ordinary Jin Army soldiers also
Understood:
The night attack has failed! What we are facing is not an army of the same level at all. This is not a battle that can be won at all!
Damn it... We are not fighting against the rebel army as soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Those who ordered the navy are absolutely right. We look like this and are the rebel army!
There are still Jurchen officers shouting filial piety, shouting at the top of their lungs in the rain, and raising the reward higher and higher to motivate the soldiers. It has reached the point where they can attack the Dinghai navy camp and everyone can be a Muke of Meng'an.
.
Wanyan Heda has not used such crude methods to build this army in the past year. But now they can only do this. Whether it is fighting spirit or madness inspired by this reward, in short, this is gold
The only thing the army can rely on at this time.
It's a pity that this thing doesn't have much effect. Facing Ding Haijun's counterattack, the scene of the Jin Army can only be described as tragic.
The soldiers came forward in groups, smashing with shields, slashing with straight knives, and stabbing with spears and spears.
The muddy and slippery ground brought them some inconvenience, so they had to exert a lot of effort to maintain their balance and were unable to charge at full speed. But this was enough. Even if they moved forward steadily, they were already carrying huge impact and were able to
The tone rippled through the Jin Army's ranks for several feet or even ten feet.
In order to make it easier to trek in the rain, the Jin soldiers wore their armor and stomach, and many of them were even shirtless. They were no different than tofu in front of the Tiefutu soldiers who were armed to the teeth, and were immediately torn to pieces by the violent force.
Their heads were chopped off, their arms were broken and flew up, blood and bones were thrown together, their bodies were pierced, and they fell into the mud and blood like leaky leather bags, and were trampled on. Their cries of killing became
The screams turned into screams and wails one after another.
