choke element

Chapter 115

The battlefield gradually became empty, and most of the soldiers went to the direction of Ya'erzhai, relying on boats and rafts, and set up camp to rest.

No matter how excited and joyful the soldiers were, after all, the two days of long-distance running and fighting exhausted their physical reserves.

Therefore, after Monk Luo led the reinforcements to arrive, he didn't bother to talk to Guo Ning, and quickly dispatched people to help set up the camp, so that the soldiers participating in the battle could sit down, lie down, and eat and drink.

In addition, there are many wounded soldiers who need help.Although the Mongols were counted twice by Guo Ning and were never able to fight the enemy with all their strength, they were always extremely vicious and good at fighting. They continued to launch counterattacks and caused astonishing casualties to Guo Ning's troops.

It didn't take long for the first batch of tents to be set up to be filled with seriously wounded people, and special medical officers were in charge of treating them.The slightly injured soldiers bandaged themselves, wrapped some herbs, and stayed with their comrades in the headquarters.

After the joy of victory faded, the soldiers were inevitably frustrated.

After all, except for a few naturally fierce people, no one really likes the battlefield.In that environment, heads fell everywhere, arms were severed, lungs and intestines flowed all over the place, and the stench of blood and broken organs was everywhere.It's fine if it's the enemy who died, but it's unavoidable to witness the tragic situation of brother Paoze.

At this time, the encouragement of the generals is very important.

Those famous ministers and generals with noble backgrounds would not think so much, but Guo Ning started from the bottom in a down-to-earth manner, and he will not be negligent in this regard.He walked through the tents, comforting the soldiers one by one, pointing to everyone's name and praising them one by one, promising post-war promotion and generous rewards, and sometimes making some rude jokes that warriors love to hear.

Some soldiers took out the captured items on the battlefield to show off to Guo Ning. Guo Ning also looked at them one by one with great interest. He also took out his usual iron knife and replaced it with a short sword made by Xixia.

Some people worriedly asked Guo Ning how his injuries were. Guo Ning showed the wounded wounds on his body and asked them if there was any wine left to clean the wounds. Yes, don't put it in your mouth.

Jing Anmin came in a hurry, but at this moment he suddenly lost his hurry, and followed Guo Ning with a few of his cronies.

Shouzhai prosecutes Ma Bao who has always been irritable.He soon became impatient, and urged Jing Anmin several times with his eyes, but Jing Anmin just didn't know.

When Guo Ning was almost done with his work, he found an empty tent to rest, and Jing Anmin sat down beside him, still silent.

After a while, Du Shisheng came in with a smile, took a bowl of soup cakes, and sat aside to enjoy it slowly.

Hao Duan, Jing'an Min's experience officer, looked at Du Shisheng and said with a smile, "I just visited the front battlefield. Two or three hundred Mongols died. Roughly, there are still 500 injured and evacuated."

Ma Bao nodded again and again: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and Guo Langjun's bravery is still the same. Such a big victory has been rare in recent years. I am afraid that the tens of thousands of people on the Jinshan Mountain will be defeated by the Mongols in one battle." The damage caused is nothing more than that..."

Du Shisheng was eating soup cakes, when he heard this he sneered and put the bowl aside.

"Everyone has seen the court's soldiers and horses before. What are you talking about in the battle of Jinshan? Since the defeat of Yehuling, the imperial court's field elites have been wiped out for a while. Even if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on Jinshan, Nor did they have the guts to go to war with Mongolia... They only dared to sit and guard the pass, but they failed to defend it well! Now that the Mongolian army has penetrated through Yanshan Mountain, and they are about to cross the Central Plains and Hebei, what will Wanyan Gang do? What is the solution?"

Ma Bao wanted to say more, but Jing Anmin waved his hand to stop.

Because Guo Ning was born in the regular army of Wushabao in Changzhou, just a few months ago, his reputation was still limited to the small group of defeated soldiers at the bottom.Therefore, senior officers like Ma Bao in the northern border garrison will subconsciously underestimate him, thinking that he only relies on the bravery of a man.

That would be stupid.

Jing Anmin has always been concerned about Guo Ning's rise, and just now following Guo Ning, he has noticed a lot.

Although the new victory, but Guo Ning did not relax.While visiting the wounded, he arranged to set up sentries in the depths of the water, tens of miles away; the camping places of various troops and horses obviously had certain rules and were strictly orderly; Li Ting and other generals took time to meet with Guo Ning Overdue, arranged for tonight's night watch and garrison troops; the manpower responsible for cleaning the battlefield also agreed with the delivery team on the handover method.

This is what Jing Anmin saw.He knew that he didn't see it, but there were many things that operated naturally and orderly, from military orders to military administration, from daily management to logistics supplies, and many more.This is what a mature and reliable army should look like.

Guo Ning was able to achieve this victory not only because of his personal bravery, but also because of the army he had built.

This army is very unusual.

How can an ordinary army have the tenacity to travel long distances for two consecutive days and then fight continuously?How could an ordinary army have the guts to take the initiative to challenge the terrifying Mongols in a small-to-many situation?

Guo Ning must have spent a lot of energy in order to form such an army.

The people of Jing'an are not idlers.He was also born in a defeated army, and he also knew that he had to train strong soldiers in order to protect himself in troubled times.But just because he tried it, he knew better how many difficulties he had to overcome to achieve Guo Ning's level.

When he raided Hu Shahu's troops that day, Guo Ning was just a hero in the grass.But now Guo Ning has become a powerful figure with strong soldiers in his hands, a general who can lead the army to victory.

He is indeed qualified to stand in front of a bigger chessboard, and the plan he proposed is indeed a good opportunity for the tyrants in the pond to stand up.

However, some things still have to be said first.

Jing Anmin thought about it, and said slowly:
"Liu Lang's achievements today are beyond ordinary people's imagination. If I, Jing Anmin, were to be in power in the imperial court, as long as I was not stupid, I would definitely use high-ranking officials and rich salary to make Liu Lang use it for me. However, it is one thing to serve the imperial court. , meddling in the center of the imperial court and controlling the emperor is another matter."

Speaking of which, Jing'an Min first looked at Du Shisheng with suspicious eyes, and then turned to Guo Ning: "Dajin has a territory of thousands of miles, has millions of soldiers, has passed on the throne for decades, has a complete system of monarchs and ministers, and has millions of women. The real man is his natural backing. Even if he is no match for the Mongols, Dajin is still a great country in the world! Liulang really thinks that if you kidnap a Zongwang in your hands, you can shake the overall situation of the court?"

Guo Ning chuckled twice.

"Why are we in such a hurry to shake up the overall situation of the imperial court?"

Jing Anmin immediately noticed Guo Ning's words, he was overjoyed, and then asked again: "What does Liu Lang mean?"

Guo Ning leaned forward slightly.

After the fight, he looked very tired, and every movement was lazy, as if he couldn't lift his spirits.But Jing Anmin didn't dare to underestimate him at all, and immediately leaned forward.

The two got closer, and Guo Ning looked at Jing Anmin's solemn face, and couldn't help laughing again: "Mr. Jinzhi should have told you about the situation in the court, whether we intervene or not, the people in Zhongdu City Several forces are already in dire straits. Since that’s the case, let’s go along with the current and fish in troubled waters. For other things, take your time one by one, why rush?”

Jing Anmin felt relieved and nodded quickly.

But he is also a reckless and bold person in his bones, and then he was a little disappointed: "Take your time? How slow?"

Guo Ning smiled: "This matter is no small matter. If only you and I participate, we must take our time. If Miao and Zhang are willing to help each other, many things can be speeded up."
