"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.
It was difficult for Chu Cai to invite his highness to the dock on the waterfront. But now he was back again, but he didn't get close to the meadow. Instead, he hid behind a big tree and looked at the battlefield through the sparse forest.
Several soldiers also followed, guarding Wanyan Congjia on his left and right wings. A soldier was obviously annoyed. He took out a bundle of straw rope from behind and made a gesture to tighten the loop on Yi La 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 definitely not an 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 situation, instead of hiding in a corner and shivering the whole time. This courage alone is much stronger than most of the nobles in Zhongdu.
Even better than Yizai Chucai.
When Chu Cai 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 servants with his own eyes, and knew that Guo Ning was by no means an ordinary warrior, he could not imagine how violent Guo Ning and others were. How brave.
For this suddenly formed group of warriors, Yizai Chucai was also in the process of slowly getting to know him.
Last night, he and Guo Ning and others discussed the response strategy for the next day. At that time, he asked, 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.
Since the army led by Genghis Khan has moved south via another route, wouldn't it be best to make a slight concession and rely on the terrain to cover it and try to ensure the safety of the soldiers?
The remaining troops and family members of the soldiers and soldiers in the Xijunhe camp have all taken refuge in hidden places under the leadership of Monk Luo and Wang Shixian. That hidden place was managed by Guo Ning early on. Now that they are all safe, why do we still have to fight? Isn't it a bit redundant?
As a result, many officers actually laughed when these words came out.
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 carelessness.
And they were led by Guo Ning. Guo Ning brought his brave and arrogant character to the army, blending it with the soldiers' original characters to form a whole.
If you change to other armies, they will weigh more at this time and find ways 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 have a tough battle with the enemy.
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, can't you beat the dogs he sent?
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fight if you can, kill if you can, strong soldiers and generals are all produced by fighting! In such a world, if warriors dare not fight, how can they still live?
This army is as violent and fierce as their leader!
Therefore, Yizai Chucai can conclude that in Guo Ning's mind, these four words were not accepted at all. Now that Ya'erzhai's geographical conditions are already at work, he will definitely seize this opportunity and continue to defeat 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 asked subconsciously: "Conquer cavalry with foot? Are we trying to defeat light cavalry or heavy cavalry?"
Guo Ning laughed.
He said yesterday that he would fight a fierce battle and give the Mongols a severe blow. But many ordinary soldiers probably never thought about how hard Guo Ning would hit him.
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 chest armor, making a clanging sound.
"At this time, why are we still entangled with those light cavalry?" 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 central 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 boundary 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 just had doubts 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 smile slowly appeared on his face. The smile became more and more obvious, and soon he was grinning widely.
"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 volcano erupting and cannot be contained. In an instant, one person spoke, several others responded, dozens of people made noises, and hundreds of people shouted: "Behead a few Mongolian nobles! Revenge! Revenge!"
Amid the roar, Guo Ning spoke in a deep voice, his words clear: "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 thousand-man team stepped forward 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 himself is extremely brave and likes to charge into battle personally. Naturally, the soldiers around him are all brave warriors. They had just fought with the Mongolian light cavalry and lost thirty or forty people. The remaining more than a hundred people dismounted and fought on foot, and they were still the vanguard.
When the soldiers approached in a tight queue, the Mongols stuck in the muddy ground began to become anxious.
Although the several thousand households were mainly captives and deregistered slaves, most of the armored elites placed in the central army by Tuo Lei were native Mongolian warriors from the five great Uluses. These Mongolian warriors were drawn from thousands or hundreds of households. About one-third were ten-captains, and the rest were also good warriors.
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 accounted for a large proportion. In addition to knives, guns, bows and arrows, many people also carried heavy weapons such as iron rods and iron axes for breaking armor. Their riding skills are even more superb. A person on a horse is like a dragon entering the water, capable of turning over rivers and seas.
When they urged the horses forward, both man and horse were calm and relaxed, and everyone was well separated and yet as one. This is an instinct tempered by long-term hunting, herding, and countless actual battles. With this instinct of fighting on horseback, ten Mongolian cavalry are enough to equal a hundred Jin army. And with the offensive of a hundred Mongolian cavalry, the Jin army can cope with difficulties even if it is an formation of ten thousand people.
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 into it, it is a foot deep! My horse is stuck!
There are also seas and lakes on the Mongolian grasslands. But no matter how humid those places are, they are not as humid as the depths of Tangbo, Hebei. This was the water network area specially created by the Song State in order to resist the Khitan; especially this area is the core area. The terrain may not be complicated and the restrictions on cavalry may not be in place!
At first, when a small number of horses got stuck in the mud, the Mongolian cavalry didn't care. But the further they moved forward, the more their horses were restricted by this abominable terrain, and the queue originally used to prepare for battle suddenly became extremely loose!
Damn, the nobleman behind is blowing the bone whistle, and he’s blowing it very fast? Does this mean that we are being asked to withdraw from this quagmire and regroup? That is the order of the fourth prince, and it should be carried out firmly even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire.
But my good horse can't pull out its legs!
Damn it, how could I abandon my horse?
Horse, horse, are you working hard? I'm here to help you!
For the Mongolian cavalry, war horses are not only animal power, but also property, partners and relatives. If the war horse is trapped, then the companions and relatives are trapped. No matter how urgent the orders from the fourth prince were, how could 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. Those of them who reacted quickly dismounted and drew their swords, preparing to fight on foot. There were also people on horseback who opened their bows and fired indiscriminately in the direction where the Jin army was coming. These elite men used strong bows captured on the battlefield in the past few years. Almost instantly, the entire battlefield could be heard with the crashing sound of bowstrings.
"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 those with strong strength lifted the entire board diagonally upward. The arrows hit the wooden board like 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 dropped the carriage board on the ground and strode across it. There are a few pieces left, which can be used as shields.
