"Is Mo Nian Jinzhong dead?"
"He is indeed dead. If Commander Jie wants to see it, his head will be sent to him soon."
"Then bring it here. I want to put it together with Wanyan Heda's head! Where is your Jingjieshuai?"
"Shuai Jingjie personally went to Datong Mansion and stirred up the lurking people to cause chaos. As a result, he was slightly injured and his arm was chopped off by a thief. Fortunately, it was not serious. He and General Miao were gathering their troops in Datong Mansion and brought them to Datong Mansion. We will quickly go south to Jinyang and Shangdang in accordance with the previously agreed upon plan."
"Haha, okay. You go and have a rest."
The military envoy bowed deeply and retreated to the tent door facing Li Ting. Seeing that the notoriously violent and murderous commander had no other orders, he stepped out and carefully lowered the tent.
"Look, look." Li Ting sneered twice at this time.
"Ahem, I wonder what the commander wants us to see?" Shi Tianying asked from the side.
Li Ting opened his mouth, regretting that he had broken his words, and finally stood up and stretched.
Guo Ning's rise is very fast. The origins of the generals in the Ding Navy are very complicated, and the time they have followed Guo Ning is generally very short. They cannot achieve the ideal state of everyone being loyal and loyal to the death. Perhaps there has never been such a situation in the world. The status is negligible.
Guo Ning continued to expand the scale of the military academy and detached grassroots officers one by one for training. This was a process of dispersing these people one by one. Most of the people who were replenished and returned to the old army were not old people, but the first identity of the new people was Disciple of Zhou Guogong.
When Li Ting was the head of the Green Forest Village in Wuguandian, he once felt that Guo Ningshu seldom used the method of forming cliques and only had empty prestige and could not gather strength. Now it seems that this person is thinking hard and thinking clearly, so once he takes action, everyone will inevitably bow.
However, generals who have their own strength are different from junior officers. They are all hard-hearted and full of ideas, each with their own ideas and interests, which cannot be changed by reading a few war history albums in a military academy.
For example, Jing Anmin was originally the deputy commander of the Ding Navy. Now that the Ding Navy is out in force and is about to Ding Ding, he is the partial commander of Li Ting's subordinates. This inevitably makes Jing Anmin a little tired; he does not want to get stuck in those high mountains and mountains. He was thinking of changing the original two-way southward strategy and competing with Li Ting for the command qualification of the main battlefield.
Of course, what Jing Anmin did was very subtle. He just led his troops to wait for a while in Weizhou and Hongzhou. He probably wanted to wait for the time when Li Ting and Wanyan Heda's armies were entangled, and then under the banner of supporting Li Ting, Then he turned his troops to the south. But Li Ting didn't have much self-cultivation. He saw some signs and barked in response.
This kind of irritable temper is Li Ting's specialty. He doesn't care at all times, he says what he wants, does what he wants, and jumps eight feet high when he's unhappy. Jing Anmin can't argue with him.
All because once you care about something, it will appear to be serious, and once it is serious, it will appear to be true. Once something is true, there is no way to explain it in front of Zhou Guogong Guo Ning.
After all, Zhou Guogong himself is facing the enemy, who dares not to try his best? Duke Zhou wants a quick victory, who dares to delay? Some clues have already fallen into the eyes of others. If you want to make a big fuss again, are you tired of living?
Jing Anmin must have understood after being scolded by Li Ting, so he was so desperate that his arm was injured. This is a bit like a bitter trick, sincerity is enough.
To say that the three of them are really capable, they are worthy of being ghosts. Such a strong Datong Mansion in Xijing was guarded by 40,000 soldiers. In the end, they rushed into the city in one breath and killed Mo Nian Jinzhong! Even Guo Liulang had to praise this style of work and sigh that we are not alone in our way.
However, Jing Anmin is an old brother after all. When we were in Hebei, we all ate from the same bowl and scolded the imperial mother at the same table. This kind of implicit reminder may not necessarily need to be known by Shi Tianying, Yelu Kechou Baer and others.
As long as they, the last group of generals who joined the naval camp, knew that the two roads east of Hedong were about to come under pressure from the north, Wanyan Heda's retreat would be threatened.
Under such a situation, the longer Wanyan Heda persisted in the confrontation, the more proactive he became. He was facing Li Ting's army, and he couldn't simply turn back and retreat. That would give Li Ting an opportunity to chop melons and vegetables, so his only choice was...
"You two!" Li Ting shouted: "Send orders to all the troops to advance to Handan early tomorrow morning and prepare for a big battle. Go and prepare now!"
Shi Tianying and Yelu Kechou Baer bowed in response and returned to their camps.
Soon after they left, the heralds from Li Ting's headquarters also began to run around.
Wherever their brisk footsteps went, troops echoed. It was not a panic, but a methodical response to the order, and it was even obvious that it was high-spirited and even cheerful.
After the end of Taihe, the army of the Kingdom of Jin became more and more lax. Li Ting was signed into the army for several years. He saw pig bosses, pig teammates and pig subordinates everywhere, so that fighting in battle was tantamount to death.
The performance of naval officers is completely different, because all levels of officers and colleges are from the military and have rich experience. They are prepared for all kinds of things. They have also gone through many discussions to form a unified system and process, and integrate it. There are books and documents in the military academy, and the students in the military academy must memorize them one by one.
At this moment, the messengers rode and issued orders, and each battalion followed the orders step by step. All the generals and soldiers cooperated with clear responsibilities. Naturally, the busiest ones were the Alixi men. Some of them were responsible for counting the lost arrows, and some were responsible for giving them. Those who add night food to the war horses are responsible for starting the stove and preparing dry food, while the soldiers have to check their armor and weapons, and then immediately fall down to sleep.
Further on, the soldiers at the back of the queue who are scheduled to start tomorrow will have a harder time. They also have to order some wood and ropes from the camp, because tomorrow they will be responsible for dismantling these and then transporting them to Handan City to set up a military formation.
Countless trivial things must be done to the best of their ability to support a victorious and attacking army.
An experienced general can tell the morale and training level of his soldiers from the preparations before the war, and thus estimate the chances of winning tomorrow.
Li Ting stood at the gate of the central army camp, listened carefully, watched everything that happened, cursed rudely on purpose, and then said: "You guys did a good job."
He was a ruffian in Zhongdu, was forcibly signed into the army, became a survivor of the Battle of Yehuling in the third year of Da'an, then became a defeated army on the run, a green forest hero who occupied Shuizhe and looted houses, and finally became the core general of the Ding Navy. This journey took ten years.
As one of the three or five people in the Ding Navy who are qualified to command the army and take on the responsibility, Li Ting naturally relies not on reckless energy and bravery, but on the experience accumulated in the past ten years, as well as daily continuous learning and improvement.
On weekdays, he puts on a carefree and rough look, but in the middle of the night he often lights candles secretly and reads military books and military academy textbooks. Fortunately, his wife is literate, otherwise he would not be able to find anyone to ask questions about many places.
However, even in the military history section of textbooks, wars like this are rarely mentioned.
This battle took a whole year to camouflage and prepare for.
This was due to the extremely efficient official system established by Yelu Chucai. Without them, no matter how much food was transported by sea, it would only be wasted in various inexplicable links.
This battle also benefited from the sudden broadening of the soldiers' tactical horizons after the Mongols moved south.
At any time before, the command scope of a war was only within the battlefield, but the Mongolian tactics of frequently driving hundreds of miles, dividing troops to advance over thousands of miles, and covering each other, left a profound impact on the soldiers.
The training level of the Ding Navy is no less than that of the Mongols, and the rich experience and determination of the generals in carrying out their tasks are no less than those of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian households. Therefore, Guo Ning dared to launch an unprecedented offensive within thousands of miles from Xijing Province to Shandong East Road; while Li Ting had full confidence to defeat the enemy in front of him in one go and push it straight to Kaifeng City.
"Wanyan Heda? What a piece of shit!" Li Ting sneered twice.
