The so-called Dutong refers to Yang An'er's position as Dutong when he was stationed in northern Xinjiang.
After all, Guo Ning holds the title of Ding Hai Jiedushi. If he calls Yang An'er marshal, doesn't he have to call himself a subordinate to match the marshal? This is a bit nondescript.
Although it had been a long time, in fact, he and Yang An'er had never really met before. They only looked at each other from a distance once in the Gucheng store and once under Zhuozhou City.
Fortunately, both of them have very different identities. After all, Yang An'er was a senior rebel. Even if he was surrounded by cavalry, he would not change his high-spirited spirit. And Guo Ning is tall and full of energy, so Yang An'er will naturally not mistake him for him.
He cupped his hands and said, "Guo Jieshuai's arrival really surprised everyone, and his majesty is even greater than before."
Long-distance raids with light cavalry are not the exclusive secret technique of the Mongols. When the Liao Dynasty was here, it was said that it controlled hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Its fine cavalry and regular troops were equipped with nine armors. Later, with the rise of Dajin, the heavy cavalry was supplemented by the Kuaizima light cavalry. They spread out on both wings in battle and carried out roundabout flank attacks of various sizes.
When Guo Ning arrived in Shandong, his army carried a lot of armor and horse armor, so he was able to form thousands of iron pagoda cavalry. However, most of their war horses were under the banner of Tu Danyi, and the number of Hexi horses collected from them was slightly insufficient. Therefore, there were only more than a hundred horses who later accompanied Guo Ning's Qingqi in the raid and tow the mines.
Fortunately, having Tuo Lei in hand is better than ten thousand taels of gold. In the past half month, Ding Haijun has continuously obtained supplies from the Mongolian army, and his mouth is full of food.
A very important part of it is the three thousand good horses. They are all Mongolian horses with excellent endurance and suitable for long-distance running.
Guo Ning came with his 200 cavalry, plus dozens of Yan Ning's masters, for a total of 600 horses. Everyone rode Mongolian horses and rushed to Tiansheng Village in the north of Juzhou. Then they switched to Hexi horses with extremely fast sprinting speed and started to advance wildly.
Yang An'er's troops were not mediocre, but when they fought with the imperial court, there were tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, at most there were more than a thousand Yijun and Chijun cavalry, and the rest were Han'er infantry, fighting hard and stupid battles.
Later, Yang An'er went to northern Xinjiang, and because of conserving his strength, he never met the Mongolian army. He didn't know how to deal with this kind of long-distance attack with far-reaching tactics. Therefore, he was caught off guard and suffered a big loss immediately.
He looked out from the gap in the cavalry and saw the commotion around him, and everyone was in panic. The majestic flags originally erected on high places were all scattered, and there were archers on several high slopes. But the situation is such that who dares to draw an arrow?
This scene really brought shame to the leader of the Shandong rebel bandits.
But Yang An'er is a veteran in the army after all. Although he was surrounded by cavalry at this time, he did not panic. Instead, he thought of a lot.
Yang An'er's response to the Ding Haijun this time was like the soldiers and horses on the Great Wall of Northern Jin Dynasty dealing with the Mongolian army. It seemed that the troops were divided into many passes and fortresses, like a dragnet. In fact, when one place was broken, it was broken everywhere immediately.
It was obvious that Guo Ning could mobilize more cavalry than these two hundred. As long as he is willing, he can launch a long-distance raid of thousands or even thousands of cavalry at any time, covering hundreds of miles around Laizhou.
And Yang An'er simply couldn't resist such an incoming attack.
Even if he assembles a large army and prepares for it, Guo Ning can still use his cavalry to attack the weak and conquer the four states of Mi, Ju, Yi and Hai. This is still an unsolvable problem.
Yang An'er is not a bandit. If they were rogue bandits, they would plunder and destroy local cities and villages after they raised their troops, and then kidnap the refugees who had lost their livelihoods to expand their force. Then there is no concept of a local base. There is only white ground wherever they go, and they don't have to worry about naval cavalry attacks.
But Yang An'er can't. He and Liu Erzu were both heroes rooted in the countryside, and they had to fulfill their full responsibilities to the local people. This is also the reason why so many village owners and leaders are willing to follow the two of them.
If Yang An'er cannot keep his hometown, his strength and reputation will become a rootless tree.
What can I do? What can I do?
He raised his eyes and stared at Guo Ning: "Based on the many fortified cities along the coast, using light cavalry to plunder long distances, and heavy cavalry to break through the front, Laizhou is indeed occupied by tigers... Guo Jieshuai, your troops are fierce and good at fighting, I I've seen it before. But..."
Ranwen
He took a breath and said in a deep voice: "We met at the foot of Zhuozhou City that day. You once said, in such a world, who deserves to die and who doesn't deserve to die? Who is the enemy and who is the friend? I, Yang An'er, have actually thought about a lot This time, I asked myself and thought clearly. But I don’t know what you, Guo Jiedu, thought."
Guo Ning smiled half-heartedly: "Has Yang Dutong really thought it through?"
"That also depends on Guo Jiedu's wishes."
Yang An'er took off his bag and held it in his hand: "If Guo Jiedu wants friends, let's sit down and chat. We can talk about anything. I have wine and meat in the mountains. You guys have been working hard for a long time, so you might as well eat and drink." Some to relieve fatigue."
Guo Ning smiled contemptuously: "What if I want enemies? What if I want Laizhou to be peaceful and safe and never allow anyone to disturb me? Yang Dutong thinks that in this situation, you will be my opponent? I will come as soon as I say, If you just leave, how can you resist?"
Yang An'er was silent for a moment, and an old farmer with gray hair on his temples stood out from beside him.
"Over the years, there have been endless rebellions in Shandong. We can't survive in the first place, and we don't care about the ax and ax. We will die sooner or later. Guo Jiedu wants enemies, that's easy. Not to mention Marshal Yang, ten There are enemies one, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, and there is no problem with more. I'm afraid it's easy for Guo Jiedu to make enemies, but he will never be able to deal with them."
"Um?"
Guo Ning turned to look at the old farmer and asked slowly: "Who are you?"
The old farmer raised his hand and said, "Tai'an Liu Erzu."
Guo Ning tapped his thigh with his riding crop and laughed.
The laughter spread to the periphery, and the soldiers of Guaizima Qingqi and Yang An'er, who were originally at war with each other, relaxed a little. Yang An'er's troops in the mountains in the distance also had to be suppressed, and the noise gradually stopped.
Yan Ning was a little disappointed.
Looking at this posture, do Jieshuai and Yang An'er really know each other? Anything to talk about?
Now, the situation is different from what Yan Ning originally imagined. This is not bad, but it lacks a bit of prestige.
He looked around vigilantly, and suddenly saw the knight who had previously intended to block Guo Ning's men, slowly riding towards the encirclement of the kidnappers.
Who is this person? Where do you get such courage? He glanced twice subconsciously. It turned out to be a slim and handsome young man.
When did Yang An'er have such brave people under his command?
Perhaps Yan Ning had seen too much, but the young man looked back coldly. Yan Ning suddenly felt chilly and couldn't help reining in his horse and taking half a step back.
He thought about it again and was horrified. He quickly turned his horse and came to Zhao Jue's side: "This is the fourth lady, Yang Miaozhen!"
"Yeah, we know."
"This fourth lady is very important. Even though she is a female, her pear blossom spear is unparalleled. She can kill generals and flags among thousands of armies! She must have a plan when she comes here. We have to stop her! It's best to stop her! Capture her!"
Those words come out to others. Around Zhao Jue, several personal guards who had followed Guo Ning for a long time and had seniority all turned their heads and looked at Yan Ning with strange expressions.
"What's wrong?" Yan Ning asked confused.
"Old Yan, guess what, just now the fourth lady rode her horse to stop her, why did my Jieshuai give way?"
"Could it be that...this fourth lady has a friendship with us?"
Ni Yi couldn't help but chuckle from a little distance away.
Zhao Jue nodded and said seriously: "Old Yan, you don't know. At the beginning of the year, our army fought fiercely with Hu Shahu's troops at the foot of Zhuozhou City. These four ladies once fought side by side with us and saved Li Erlang's life from the Jurchen sword. .”
Yan Ning suddenly realized: "So that's it. We can't wait any longer."
While the two of them were talking, Yang Miaozhen rode by with a cold expression on his horse.
When Guo Ning led his troops to break in, Peng Yibin had just left Liu Erzu and went to rectify his cavalry. Unexpectedly, Guo Ning came too fast and fierce, and he was separated from Liu Erzu in an instant.
Peng Yibin and Liu Erzu were close friends in life and death. He was afraid that the imperial soldiers and horses would attack Liu Erzu. He was so worried that he was sweating profusely and just wanted to rush forward to save people. But he saw that all the kidnappers, horses and qingqi were all elite and fierce, and they were afraid of rats, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Seeing Yang Miaozhen coming, Peng Yibin urged his horse forward and lowered his voice: "Fourth lady, you can't be so reckless! You will lose your life in vain! We have to find a way, we can't let..."
Yang Miaozhen was full of anger and ignored him. She only shook the reins, and the horse went straight into the encirclement circle.
A group of kidnappers and Qingqi wanted to cross over to block them, but Zhao Jue waved his hand, so the cavalry got out of the way.
Peng Yibin was overjoyed and urged his horse forward, intending to follow.
The cavalrymen immediately closed their ranks and kept him outside.
