Zhabal Huo Zhaer was a Uighur from the Western Regions. His real name was very long and complicated, and Genghis Khan couldn't remember it, so he called him Zhabal by his tribe's name. The word "fire" is Persian, meaning a noble person.
Because he was not a Mongolian, he did not get the position of Thousand Households or Hundred Households after the founding of Mongolia. However, due to his status as Genghis Khan's confidant, his status was higher than the ordinary Qixue Army. In many battles, he often led a part of the Qixue Army on behalf of Genghis Khan. For example, the last time he attacked the Kingdom of Jin, he led his troops to break through the Zijin Pass. The Jin army was bleeding and defeated as soon as he reached the front.
The reason why he is able to take on this task is that even on the Mongolian plateau where he fights every day, Zhabalhuo is considered an expert with extremely rich combat experience. He claims to be over eighty years old. When he was young, he traveled to plateaus, deserts, deserts and snow-capped mountains, and even wandered westward, fighting horse thieves and bandits along the way, all the way to the sea. The bragging about his age may be false, but his familiarity with various large and small battles cannot be false at all.
He usually rode a camel and followed the Khan with his two sons, Alihan and Minlicha, as if he had nothing to do all day long. But when it comes to judging the details of the battlefield, even the Great Khan will rely on his cautious attitude and trust his precise vision.
The Mongolian army had previously encountered enemy traps in its previous expeditions, but to be honest, it would be difficult for ordinary armies to deceive the Mongols on the battlefield. The strategy set up by a general is actually put into practice by countless soldiers. In the eyes of a group of veterans such as Zha Balhuo, it is often full of flaws and is in vain to make people laugh.
In the past two days, while the Mongolian light cavalry harassed the navy with road attacks, Zabal firemen came closer every day to inspect and confirm the situation of the navy for Genghis Khan.
He saw the tiredness of the Ding Navy officers marching, saw the marching ranks gradually becoming looser, and noticed that many officers were whispering to each other on the march. He even once rode a tall Xixia camel with the army and went to the Ding Navy ranks. After a short back and forth, I fought several enemies.
After two days, Zhabal Huozhe could conclude that the opportunity for the Mongolian army to ambush in a roundabout way had indeed come. The navy's embarrassing situation is not fake.
Some things have been settled and nothing has been omitted.
Zha Balhuo even calculated the time for Ding Haijun to mobilize the carts to form a formation. Yesterday and the night before yesterday, he specially led people to throw arrows out of the way to make the donkeys and mules pulling Ding Haijun's carts tired. .
Even for iron artillery, we have expectations.
Both Zhabal Huozhe and Genghis Khan believed that if the Ding navy could not form a vehicle formation in time, the use of iron artillery would be restricted. But in the early years when Genghis Khan attacked the Xijing Prefecture of Dajin, he saw the Jin army using catapults to throw iron artillery to achieve success. Therefore, he specially asked Zha Ba'er Huo Zha to conduct special inspections to determine whether there were several throwing instruments hidden in the vehicles accompanying the navy; and whether there were any facilities similar to the Xixia Poxi Army's cyclone cannon on the backs of the war horses.
The result of the investigation was conclusive, no.
Then the deduction of the battle itself is certain.
This one can be won! Once such a battle breaks out, it will enter the process that the Mongolian army is best at. If it is fought a hundred times, the Mongolian army will win a hundred times!
The Mongolian army launched the battle with confidence.
Shiji Hutuhu led five thousand households to launch a side attack, and it is still unclear what the outcome will be.
However, the two cowardly Xue Jun Qianhu who pressed forward were instantly blown away and scattered.
Ding Haijun's counterattack is imminent!
Zha Balhuo's whole body was trembling, and the hand holding the long stick was also shaking, and the long stick was shaking together. He understood that there were no omissions in his judgment of Ding Haijun, but he had completely underestimated Guo Ning's boldness.
Guo Ning is really so fierce. He creates an opportunity for victory in a desperate situation of defeat!
The laxity and fatigue of the Ding Navy was both the result of the Mongols and the result of Guo Ning's sitting back and watching. Guo Ning is just waiting for the Mongols to come and fight!
This guy has been fighting on the border since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the Mongolian army's tactics. Perhaps he had long expected that the Mongolian army would launch an ambush north of Triangle Lake, and he had also long expected that the Mongolian army would place huge power on its flanks.
In this situation, when Guo Ning launched a frontal assault at full speed, the Mongolian army headquarters was in an embarrassing situation. Because the troops were coming out of the swamps, the mobilization speed was inevitably slow. Guo Ning's sudden attack at this time, coupled with the effect of the iron artillery, created an opportunity to turn defeat into victory in a completely passive environment.
This guy is not here for me, Zhabal Fireman, he wants Genghis Khan’s life!
This is not the command method of a general at all. This is gambling with the lives of fifteen thousand people in the navy. He was betting on the survival of Genghis Khan's headquarters and the life of Genghis Khan with his own life and the lives of fifteen thousand soldiers and horses! In such a bet, no matter how much Guo Ning pays, as long as he achieves his goal, he will win!
How could there be such a madman in the world?
Generally speaking, only the lower-level soldiers would risk their lives like this. That's because they have nothing to begin with. Apart from their own lives, they have nothing to gamble with. Take a gamble, win glory and wealth, lose and be reincarnated, it's simple and smooth.
The world says that the Mongols are brave, but the Mongolian aristocrats, such as Nayan and above, do not actually fight in person but focus on tactical command. The ones who really charged into the battle were the brave men with the title of Batuer.
But this guy Guo Ning... He manages two large pieces of land in the Jin Kingdom. Millions of soldiers and civilians are watching the identity of the Jin Kingdom's high officials. In fact, he is like a king who rules over a separate territory. It is said that he also controls many maritime trade routes, and his strength is even feared by the Jin Dynasty.
What kind of glory and wealth can such a person not enjoy? What kind of demands can’t be satisfied?
He actually charged into the battle as usual, rushing to the front of thousands of troops and being the first to fight!
Changshengtian should open his eyes and take a look. Can such a separatist overlord stop acting like he is tired of living?
With such a desperado as the commander, no wonder the soldiers of the Ding Navy rushed to kill each and every one of them without their lives!
A bunch of lunatics!
Alihan, the eldest son of Zhabal Huo Zhe, suddenly shouted: "Father, Ding Haijun is still charging! They have dispatched armored cavalry! We must divide our troops to make a detour and shoot them to death!"

"Shut up! I'm not blind!"
Zhabal Huo Zhe pulled his beard fiercely. He used too much force and his chin and jaw began to bleed.
The first group of Dingjun troops who charged were soldiers throwing iron cannons; the second group of people who charged were Guo Ning himself and his cavalry; the third group of people who charged were a large group of chaotic infantry, and hundreds of The Mingtiefutu cavalry advanced under the cover of these infantry. At this moment, they suddenly urged their horses and became the main force of the fourth batch of charges.
This is the usual tactic used by the Jurchens, there is nothing surprising about it. They like to divide their troops into multiple echelons and enter the battle one after another from the same position, constantly increasing the power of the assault and increasing the intensity of the battle. It's like a giant swinging a heavy hammer, each one more powerful than the last.
This tactic is powerful, but it suffers from sluggishness. The Mongolian cavalry's flexible tactics are its nemesis. If the battlefield were changed and Zabal Fire was given an hour, he would have at least twenty ways to kill them. Despite their aggressiveness, their fate is no different from that of sheep running around on the grassland.
but now……
Zhabalhuo expected that if his side gave way even a little bit, Guo Ning would directly cross the formation and charge towards Genghis Khan. This guy is not only fierce, but also as sinister as a fox. He has already figured everything out!
Zhabalhuo Zhaer roared angrily: "Every team is not allowed to disperse, come up to me!"
"What?"
"Winning or losing is just a hair's breadth away. We have to go up to them, block them! Encircle them! As soon as Shiji Hutulu's troops arrive, they will be dead! I want to watch them die, watch them be Chop it into pieces!”
The speed of the war horse was increased again, and it quickly moved away from the area where the iron artillery exploded. The swirling black smoke disappeared. Guo Ning raised his head and could see the blue sky and white clouds above his head. The cavalry team gradually gathered, but the sound of horse hooves on the ground began to sound muffled, like thunder above the thick clouds. Because there is a green, blanket-like grass beneath the horses' hooves, and the ground itself is getting softer.
From time to time, there was the sound of arrows missing and colliding with the armor's stomach. This was when the Mongolian cavalry in front started to fire arrows. But Guo Ning didn't care at all. Over the years, as long as he was fighting with the Mongols, the arrows would not stop flying all over the sky, and his companions would always fall one after another. He had become accustomed to it.
"Herald!" A knight in heavy armor shouted loudly on the side of the war horse: "These Mongols have reacted! They did not disperse, they came up!"
Guo Ning said concisely and to the point: "Bump him over."
