"You've already won a battle, and you're giving up before it's good? Now it seems that the Mongolian army's cavalry movement has also been hindered. Why not take the opportunity to retreat?" Wanyan Congjia asked doubtfully.
Previously, it was difficult for Chu Cai to invite His Highness to the pier on the waterfront. But now he came back, but he did not approach the meadow, but hid behind a big tree, across the
Sparse woodland overlooks the battlefield.
Several soldiers also followed, guarding Wanyan Congjia on his left and right wings. One of the soldiers was obviously annoyed. He took out a bundle of straw rope from behind and made a gesture to tighten the loop on Chucai.
Yi La Chucai smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. After all, His Highness Prince Sheng was of great use, and tying him up with a rope would be too much.
It has to be said that since Wanyan Congjia can be valued by the forces in the DPRK and is considered qualified to replace Wanyan Yongji, he is by no means an ignorant and incompetent person.
At least, this person has no fighting experience, but he dares to wander around the edge of the battlefield to watch and comment on the battle, instead of hiding in a corner and shivering the whole time. This courage alone is much stronger than most of the nobles in Zhongdu City.
It's even better than Yizai Chucai.
When he was in Zhongdu watching Guo Ning kill people, he was not as calm as Wanyan Congjia.
However, the bravery of the Jurchen nobles only goes so far. Even though Wanyan Congjia saw Guo Ning attack and kill Zhang Wei's grain team and the palace's retinue, and knew that Guo Ning was by no means an ordinary warrior, he still did not
It is impossible to imagine how violent and brave Guo Ning and others were.
It is also in the process of slowly getting to know this martial arts group that suddenly got together.
Last night, he and Guo Ning and others discussed the response strategy for the next day. At that time, he proposed, why do we have to confront the Mongols here?
After all, the defeated soldiers have been operating in Hebei for a long time and have friendships with water thieves, bandits, and local snakes everywhere. This pond area with a radius of hundreds of miles is their home field where they can roam freely.
Now that the army led by Genghis Khan has moved south via another route, wouldn't it be best to give in a little and rely on the terrain to protect the soldiers as much as possible?
The remaining troops and family members of the soldiers in the Xijunhe camp have all taken refuge in a hidden place under the leadership of Monk Luo and Wang Shixian. That hidden place was managed by Guo Ning early. Since they are all safe, why are we on our side?
Still have to fight? Isn’t it a bit redundant?
As a result, many officers laughed when these words were spoken.
So Yizai Chucai understood a lot.
These soldiers who were defeated from behind the Monan Mountains to Hebei have experienced too many failures and collapses, and have lost everything there is to lose. All that remains in them is hatred, despair and lack of scruples.
And they were led by Guo Ning. Guo Ning brought his bravery and arrogant character to the army, blending it with the soldiers' original characters to form a whole.
If it were another army, they would have weighed more at this time and would have tried to avoid war, or at least try to control the scale of the battle. But Guo Ning himself and his men, despite having other options, still decided to fight with the enemy.
Let's have a tough fight.
So what about two thousand riders?
So what if there is some Mongolian nobleman leading the team?
As Guo Ning said before, if you can't beat Genghis Khan's own team, how can you beat the dogs he sent?
There is no need to be afraid or hesitant. If you can fight, fight, if you can kill, kill. Strong soldiers and generals are all created by fighting! In such a world, if warriors dare not fight, how can they still survive?
This army is as violent and fierce as their leader!
Therefore, it can be concluded that in Guo Ning's mind, there is no such thing as "just accept it when it's good". Since the geographical conditions of Ya'erzhai are already playing a role, he will definitely seize this opportunity and continue to beat the enemy.
!
"Your Highness, don't worry." Yi La Chucai said calmly: "This Changzhou Guo Ning is an evil tiger that Tu Shan Youcheng is optimistic about. Today, Your Highness can just see how powerful this evil tiger is!"
At this time, a young officer behind Guo Ning subconsciously asked: "Conquer cavalry with foot? Are we trying to defeat light cavalry or heavy cavalry?"
Guo Ning laughed.
He said yesterday that he would fight hard and give the Mongols a hard blow. But many ordinary soldiers probably never thought about how hard Guo Ning would fight.
By now, the soldiers should all know, and Guo Ning also wanted to see if all of the last remnants of the hundreds of thousands of troops behind Monan Mountain were brave enough, and if there were any cowardly cowards among them.
He turned around and thumped the officer's armor on his chest, making a clanking sound.
"Why are we still entangled with those light cavalry at this time?" He said sternly: "What we have to deal with is of course the Mongolian army's heavy cavalry, which is the main force of their Chinese army! We will defeat them in one go! Today, cut them down
The heads of several Mongolian nobles to avenge our family members who died inside and outside the trench!"
The young officer was taken aback, and his expression changed instantly.
Guo Ning looked at him with a half-smile.
The young officer was also a man who had experienced hundreds of battles, but he was just doubtful for a moment. As the commander-in-chief, Guo Ning went into battle to kill the enemy himself, what else could the soldiers say? His wavering expression faded, and a look slowly appeared on his face.
He smiled. The smile became more and more obvious, and soon he was grinning.
"Okay! Mr. Lang, chop off the heads of some Mongolian nobles! Revenge for our family!"
Once the thoughts hidden deep in the heart are unearthed, they are like a volcanic eruption that cannot be contained. In an instant, one person speaks, several people respond, dozens of people make noise, and hundreds of people clamor: "Behead a few Mongolian nobles!
Revenge! Revenge!”
Amid the roaring noise, Guo Ning spoke in a deep voice, speaking clearly: "The troops are divided into three teams: front, middle and back. I lead the soldiers at the front, followed by Li Ting, and Han Xuan at the back. Each team is separated by a hundred and fifty steps, and I am in charge.
Break out of the formation, Li Erlang will cheer me up and kill the enemy. If the Mongolian light cavalry on both wings come to harass me, Han Xuan will be responsible for resisting!"
"As you command!"
Ni Yiyi, who was waiting next to him, heard Guo Ning's order. He immediately pulled out the military flag and raised it forward, while the drums sounded at the same time.
The entire 1,000-man team marched together, stepping through the deep grass and mud, toward the center of the Mongolian army.
Guo Ning and his elite soldiers were at the forefront.
He is extremely brave and likes to charge into battle personally. Naturally, the soldiers around him are all the best warriors. He had just fought with the Mongolian light cavalry and lost thirty or forty people. There were still more than a hundred people who dismounted and fought on foot.
Be a pioneer.
When the soldiers approached in a tight queue, the Mongols stuck in the muddy ground began to become anxious.
Although the thousands of households are mainly captives and deregistered slaves, the armored elites placed in the central army in Tuo Lei are mostly Mongolian warriors from the five great Uluses. These Mongolian warriors come from thousands of households, hundreds of
Drawn from each household, about one-third are ten-captains, and the rest are also good players.
All of them have been on the battlefield for a long time and have captured a lot, so everyone wears armor. Among them, iron armor accounts for a large proportion. In addition to knives, guns, bows and arrows, many of them also carry iron rods, iron axes and other heavy weapons for breaking armor.
Their riding skills are even more superb. A person on the horse is like a dragon entering the water, capable of turning over rivers and seas.
When they urged the horses to move forward, both the man and the horse were calm and at ease. Everyone was clearly separated and like a whole. This was an instinct tempered by long-term hunting, herding and countless actual battles. With this instinct of riding on horseback, they fought.
, ten Mongolian cavalry are enough to equal a hundred Jin troops, and the offensive of a hundred Mongolian cavalry, even if the Jin army formed an formation of ten thousand people, it would be difficult to cope with it.
However, what is going on with the pulpy ground under the deep grass? There is also a quagmire that is invisible to the eye. Once you step in, it is a foot deep! My horse is stuck!
There are also lakes and lakes on the Mongolian grasslands. But no matter how wet those places are, they are not as humid as the depths of Tangbo in Hebei Province. This was a water network area specially created by the Song Dynasty in order to resist the Khitan; especially this area is the core area, the topography
I'm afraid it's not complicated, and the restrictions on cavalry are probably not in place!
At first, when a small number of war horses got stuck in the mud, the Mongolian cavalry didn't care. But the further they moved forward, the more the horses were restricted by this abominable terrain, and the queue originally used to prepare for the battle suddenly became too loose!
Damn, the nobleman behind is blowing the bone whistle, and he is blowing it very fast? Does this mean that he wants us to withdraw from this quagmire and regroup? That is the order of the fourth prince. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, we should resolutely implement it.
of.
But my good horse can't pull out its legs!
Damn it, how could I abandon my horse?
Horse, horse, are you trying your best? I'll help you!
For the Mongolian cavalry, war horses are not only animal power, but also property, partners, and relatives. If a war horse is trapped, it is a partner, and a family member is trapped. No matter how urgent the orders of the four princes are, how can they be willing to give up for a while?
Just when he had no choice but to do anything, there was a loud sound of killing in front of him.
The Mongolian knights were very angry. Among them, those who reacted quickly dismounted and drew their swords, preparing for a foot battle. Others were riding on horses, and they opened their bows and fired indiscriminately in the direction where the Jin army was coming. These are the weapons used by these elite men.
Almost instantly, the entire battlefield resounded with the sound of the bowstring's collapse.
"Keep moving forward, hold on!" Guo Ning ordered in a deep voice: "Twenty steps forward and shoot again."
The Mongolian arrows fell from the sky with a buzzing sound.
The soldiers gathered together a little, and the stronger ones lifted the entire board diagonally upwards. The arrows hit the board like a heavy rain.
The wooden boards were the carriage boards removed from the carriage. The soldiers were moving forward quickly, and when they encountered a muddy pond blocking the road, they threw the carriage boards on the ground and strode across. The few remaining pieces could be used as shields.
