The sky was completely dark, and everyone knew the dangers of night fighting. However, the two armies were both carrying out important actions related to the war situation. At this time, they suddenly collided, and no one had any room to hesitate. The leaders of both sides ordered the charge almost at the same time, and sharp lights flew in the air instantly.
The arrows were shot quickly, and various throwing weapons and even pine torches were thrown with all their strength. A few hit the real opponents, and most of them hit the heads of the Jurchens clustered in the center of the highland. Blood suddenly splattered in the dense group of Jurchens, and screams and wails could be heard one after another.
Many of them had weapons in their hands, but regarded either party as evil stars and did not dare to fight back. They tried their best to avoid it, but there was nowhere to escape.
Some people panicked and rolled down the steep slope that was not surrounded by Han'er and Mongolians. They immediately fell on the rocky rocks in the dark and broke their bones. Some people fell to their knees directly, kowtowing and surrendering regardless.
More people's reactions are even more exaggerated. Because Ding Haijun was busy throwing arrows at the Mongolians on the opposite side, but his line of sight was blocked, he could not clearly see the situation of the Mongols. The soldiers repeatedly shouted: "Get down! Everyone get down!"
Most of these Jurchens cannot understand Mongolian, but they are very familiar with Chinese. To be honest, at least half of them cannot speak Jurchen at all, and they only communicate in Chinese on a daily basis. Suddenly, when they heard loud orders, many Jurchens immediately stretched their hands forward and lay down close to the ground.
If the Jurchen nobles of the Zhongdu court were here, they would probably vomit three liters of blood when they saw this situation. They are still dreaming about being the lords of the domain, just like the dream of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The ordinary Jurchens who are the cornerstone of their rule are mostly like this.
Decades of peace have wiped out too much of their will to fight, leaving them simply afraid to raise their heads in front of their enemies. And their enemies, the black Tatars who were once used as cattle and horses by the Jin Kingdom, and the Han people who were once used as pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, plundered and humiliated, all stepped on the Jurchens' ridges without mercy. Turn your back and charge towards the powerful enemy on the opposite side.
There are many powerful generals in the navy, but Zhang Hui only has a nickname called "Sai Zhang Fei". The nickname fits the person, Zhang Hui is at the forefront.
The combined weight of his strong body and strong armor and stomach was a considerable amount, so there were often screams and the sound of bones breaking under his feet. A Jurchen was stepped on the neck and struggled violently and twitched. Zhang Hui could not maintain his balance for a moment and almost stumbled to the ground.
But he quickly regained his balance.
The two sides were previously separated by the gathered Jurchens, and they were not far from each other. As soon as his running speed slowed down a little, a Mongolian fired an arrow at him by shaking the firelight.
Far away, the soldiers could almost hear the loud "dang" sound. Fortunately, Zhang Hui continued to stride forward amidst the exclamations.
Within a very short distance, the Mongols fired arrows one after another. If the sky were brighter, Zhang Hui would immediately turn into a hedgehog, and now he was hit by three arrows in succession. These are all heavy arrows that can break armor, and some are fine iron chisel arrows captured from the Jin army.
Fortunately, if the arrow misses the target, it will not cause any damage, and Zhang Hui's armor is also extremely strong.
This is not the unified armor and stomach built by the craftsmen of the Ding Navy, but the sophisticated equipment specially imported with huge sums of money after hooking up with the big shots of the Southern Song Dynasty at the end of last year. This armor has a name, it's called "Black Lacquer Shunshui Mountain-Character Iron Armor". Not counting the armband and hood, the armor itself costs more than 80 guan, and a horse is needed to replace it.
Zhang Hui wore an extra set of chain mail made by Ding Haijun in the armor's stomach. The key points on the chest and abdomen under the chain mail were additionally padded with cowhide. So at this moment, he held his usual spear in one hand and moved the shield in his left hand. The previous gear, keep moving forward!
Behind him, dozens of soldiers also held shields and moved forward with arrows.
After three or five breaths, the two sides fought hand to hand.
Zhang Hui still attracted the most enemies, but his martial arts skills were truly outstanding and his movements were swift and powerful. After blocking several scimitar slashes and stabs with his shield, he held the spear in his backhand and struck wildly, killing three Mongolian warriors in front of him one after another. One of them had a gold ring around his neck. He was obviously the famous Batuer. .
As a result, the momentum of the Mongols' charge was dampened, and the Ding navy officers behind Zhang Hui cheered in unison.
Lao Liu even shouted loudly to his companions: "Did you see it? Without their horses, the Mongolians' combat effectiveness is less than 30%! When it comes to fighting on foot, we are the ancestors!"
The companions all said: "Brother Liu is right!"
Zhang Hui at the front quickly received support from his subordinates. The soldiers of the Ding Navy used their shields to jostle each other, and used various long and short weapons to continuously kill the Mongols. Once they took advantage of a certain focus of fighting, they immediately seized the opportunity to attack fiercely.
The one who made the fastest progress was Zhang Hui. He threw away his spear and now held a long knife to kill. The few followers behind him all carried iron bars to assist. No matter what kind of result Zhang Hui's long sword caused, whether it was a slight injury, a serious injury, or he just staggered back, there was bound to be a soldier who would swing the iron rod desperately and then smash it.
The power of the iron rod was so great that when it was swung, a strong wind blew, crushing the enemy to death several times. If it weren't for the fact that Meng Cong's physical strength was exhausted very quickly and he had to take a break from time to time to calm down his breathing, Zhang Hui would have rushed directly to the depths of the Mongolian army and faced Shi Ji Hu Tu Hu!
The Mongols soon became exhausted.
After all, the tactics and combat skills of cavalry are very different from those of infantry combat. The Mongolian knight on horseback is not afraid of any enemy, and has countless ways to suppress and destroy the enemy. But the flip side of proficient cavalry tactics is that infantry warfare is inevitably sparse.
At this moment, the two sides were engaged in a foot battle. Almost every Mongolian felt that the Ding navy officers in front of them were skilled in cooperation, excellent in martial arts, and not bad in physical strength. In front of them, the Mongols had to retreat!
What was even more troublesome was that the Mongols heard the neighing of war horses.
It was not one of our own war horses. The terrain east of Shigang was so rugged that even the Mongolians who were good horsemen would have difficulty riding up high at night. The few nobles who led the troops came up step by step with their own horses. So, here comes the cavalry from Dinghai Navy! Ding Haijun is located to the west of Liaoshi Gang, where the terrain is open and the cavalry can move much more conveniently than the Mongols!
The Mongols are a nation on horseback. They understand the power of cavalry better than anyone else, so it is easier to imagine what will happen next: their side will defend on foot in a high-slope battle with limited room for maneuver, and the navy will repeatedly attack with cavalry...
Shi Ji suddenly knew that the Ding Navy had an iron futu cavalry, which was best at launching sudden attacks at critical moments and launching violent attacks. Although it is dark at the moment, which is not conducive to heavy riding operations, but who can say for sure?

Climbing onto the Liaoshi Hill a step too late actually resulted in such an unfavorable situation, which made Shi Ji suddenly go crazy with rage.
When Zhao Jue led the cavalry to charge up the stone hill, he could not find the Mongols at the first moment. He only saw Zhang Hui laughing and feeling very proud.
This was a head-to-head victory, not the result of trickery! For Zhang Hui, who prides himself on his bravery, it is certainly worth bragging about for a long time.
Zhao Jue moved his horse forward, interrupted Zhang Hui's laughter, and then asked: "Have you ever seen Pusan Anzhen? The envoy wants us to find him as soon as possible!"
"Well……"
Zhang Hui was still very excited. He really didn't think of this when he was fighting. Now he suddenly changed his mind. He had no direction at the moment. He raised his finger and pointed at the remaining Jurchens on the mound: "They are probably there! We have to look for them!"
The place where the Jurchens gathered became a battlefield for Ding Haijun and the Mongols to fight. This caused them many casualties, and the smell of blood filled the crowd. Most of the uninjured Jurchens were stunned, just kneeling with their heads down in a dense crowd. At first glance, they looked like large black beetles.
Zhao Jue ordered two lieutenants: "Go and inquire carefully immediately, and be polite. If you want to be called servants and missionaries, just say that we are here to support."
Two lieutenants immediately took people there.
He ordered two more lieutenants: "Take all the men to search the surrounding fields, with the material stone hill as the center. Group of five people, spread out for five miles, no, ten miles. Let the soldiers light more pine torches and brighten their eyes. No. negligence!"
Two more lieutenants took the order and urged the cavalry to set off.
Zhao Jue thought for a while and then ordered two lieutenants: "Lead the troops to follow the Mongols and see what they gain."
