Chapter 484 Ambush

When a layman looks at the fighting of the army, it is easy to see that the generals and schools in the front are incompetent in command, poor in scheduling, and all of them are idiots.All because the real battlefield is completely different from what is described in the rear documents.

When the game resumed after the war, the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves and various realities have been settled, and it is clear at a glance.But when they are actually on the battlefield, it is difficult for even the best generals to see these things clearly in real time.In front of their eyes, not to mention the enemy, sometimes even the situation of the friendly army is just chaos.

Therefore, since ancient times, people who are good at using soldiers have been described, or they are said to know the situation well, or they can be said to be able to control their subordinates.These two points are extremely high praises, but they are both extremely difficult to achieve.

Regardless of the influence of time and geography on the generals, a general, general, and three to 500 people under his command already have to rely on the distribution of many lieutenants, brand leaders, team leaders, and even generals in order to command smoothly.Even so, it is inevitable to be disturbed by the complicated situation.

When the position is higher, those general managers, governors, supervisors, and marshals have terrifying authority and can lead tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops into battle, but what can really be seen is limited to the sight; There are only these followers and elites around me.

Therefore, at the beginning of the country, the Jurchens were less than [-], and they were invincible. Later, they often had tens of thousands of troops, but they were repeatedly defeated by the Song people in the Southern Dynasty.Similarly, with Genghis Khan's talents, the Qi Xue army he directly commanded was only ten thousand.

Most of the Jurchen nobles in Dajin Kingdom who have been out of the army for a long time don't quite understand this kind of truth.

Therefore, in the decisive battle with Mongolia that day, people such as Duji Sizhong, Wanyan Chengyu, Ao Tunxiang and others all raised hundreds of thousands of troops, in order to have a great momentum and shake the heavens and the earth.

In their view, a large number of people is strength. The general only needs to wave his hand, and the soldiers will be obedient and crush the enemy layer by layer.

But a general like Han Xuan, who was promoted from the veterans step by step, already knew the way, and would never make such a mistake.

In Han Xuan's view, someone like Guo Liulang who frequently leads thousands of troops across the battlefield is really brave and unmatched by others.Han Xuan himself, relying on his own bravery and courage, the limit that he can smoothly dispatch when directly leading troops to charge is 500 people.

This number will not change in the slightest because he was promoted from Commander Han to Director Han.

If all the elite veterans were used, this figure would increase a bit, but Han Xuan couldn't afford the loss of the elite veterans. As a result, his resilience in battle was greatly reduced.The subtleties in it can only be understood by experienced veterans.

At this moment, Han Xuan broke into the Mongolian army camp with elite soldiers, but he only wanted to accept it when he saw a good deal.But the Mongolian army pursued and beat him fiercely, so he had no choice but to flee in embarrassment.

But an outstanding general must not bet on the overall strength of the troops directly under him.

When Han Xuan served as the Liaohai defense envoy, Guo Ning had specifically ordered him to observe the overall situation as much as possible while fighting with his head covered.Even if you can't strategize, you should try your best to cooperate closely with your colleagues and give full play to their talents. Don't always think about using your own strength to make a big difference.

As an old friend of Guo Ning in Changzhou for many years, Han Xuan found Guo Ning's words a bit funny.Because Guo Ning's family likes to go to battle with elite soldiers and do things that are small and big.However, after the past two years, Han Xuan got used to doing exactly what Guo Ning said.

Therefore, although Han Xuan, the general manager, personally led the raid, the means of setting the navy were far more than just raids.

Wang Hao'er immediately understood that Manager Han looked simple and honest, but he was actually hiding something behind him!

"Who's there? How many people are there?" He asked repeatedly with joy.

Han Xuan was about to answer when a Mongolian cavalry team suddenly appeared in front of the left.Dozens of riders approached Han Xuan and the others in an instant as if emerging from the dark night.

This group of light cavalry, when Jebe in the rear noticed that Han Xuan's troops suddenly turned to the hilly area, he sent people to outflank them at full speed to stop them.At the same time, the roar of horseshoes in the rear suddenly became much louder.

Don't be entangled by this team of Qingqi.

Han Xuan stretched out his hand: "Knife!"

His own long knife fell during the fight just now, and another servant immediately brought a spare weapon.Han Xuan held the handle of the knife with his right hand, frowned, and then raised the long knife high.

The arrow cluster in his shoulder has not been able to be taken out, the wound was pulled several times, and the blood was dripping, and he couldn't lift it up at all before.But at this moment, he raised his saber and acted vigorously, as if he was not injured at all.

Seeing this, Wang Hao'er suddenly swung his whip again and again, beating his own horses indiscriminately.

The war horse Herod neighed and rushed forward. Wang Jie'er held a knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Don't pay attention to the arrows of the Mongols, urge the horse, urge the horse! Go over! We will win this game!"

Among his subordinates, more than a dozen old soldiers were transferred here.Although I don't know where the confidence comes from, everyone wields long knives, and the generals stare and roar, and at the same time desperately urge the horses to speed up.Several people pulled out the daggers from their waists and stabbed the horse's ass.

The war horse let out a mournful cry, its potential was suddenly stimulated, its iron hooves flew, and it galloped forward at full speed.Instead, Han Xuan and others were squeezed into the back position.

The distance between the two teams of cavalry ranged from thirty paces, to twenty paces, to ten paces, to staggered.

The Mongols turned sideways on their horses and opened their bows and shot arrows one after another.

However, riding a gallop in an unfamiliar field late at night is a difficult exercise that requires extreme concentration.Even the Mongolian elite, it is difficult to be distracted and hit the target.More than a dozen arrows were scattered in the night, but they did not cause much damage.

Only one Dinghai knight fell suddenly with his man and horse.Because the horse ran extremely fast, the knight's bones were broken when he rolled over with the horse, and he died immediately.

When the Mongol knight was about to shoot the second round, Wang Jie'er and his subordinates kept roaring, urging their horses to charge, and slashing with their knives.

"Quick! Quick!"

Fighting started at the front, and a little distance away from Han Xuan at the back, Zhebie was also urging his subordinates.

When the horses are galloping at full speed, the distance of more than a dozen miles or more than 20 miles seems to be fleeting.The Mongolian army chased death and chased the north, which was often the case. Although they hadn't been able to take down Han Xuan's troops for a while, Zhebie was not in a hurry.

According to common sense, Gaizhou City is the only direction in which the navy knights should flee.Zhebie is quite sure that he can kill all the fleeing enemies on the way, even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, if they are sent to Gaizhou City to kill them, they might still be able to deter the defenders .

With the virtue of an ordinary Jin army, this kind of intimidation can sometimes scare the defenders into abandoning the city and fleeing.The tenacity of the Ding Navy is definitely higher than that of the ordinary Jin Army, but if they know that the main general failed to attack and died, will they be shaken?
Jebe looked forward to it.

If he could really kill this Han Xuan, and then take advantage of the opportunity to take Gaizhou, then all the losses today will be nothing, but he will still make money.

But why did they suddenly turn around?This is going north?

what's up northIt's just a few barren hills, is there any way for them to escape?
Or, did they know that they would die, and they were unwilling to die under the city of Gaizhou to shake the morale of the defenders?

Zhebie couldn't figure out the reason at all, and it was really not suitable for him to ponder over it at this moment.So he only shouted: "Hurry up and catch up! Kill them!"

The cavalry suddenly accelerated.

After running for more than a hundred steps, they crossed the place where the Dinghai cavalry and the previous group of blocking cavalry were fighting.The Mongols suffered a little, half of them died, and there are still more than ten riders wandering around.Jebe passed through the cavalry without stopping, and shouted: "Continue to follow me!"

The cavalry team fleeing ahead is already close at hand.

Just at this time, the wilderness suddenly came to an end.Under the heavy darkness, a series of hills and peaks appeared in front of Jebie.There seemed to be a peak towering in the distance, although the clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating and the stars were scattered, it was still dark and unclear; but in the nearby area, covered by the moonlight, it can be seen that the mountains are continuous and not dangerous.

Han Xuan's cavalry rushed into the mountain valley.

Jebe felt anxious, and suddenly drew his bow and arrow, and shot at an enemy general who was guarded by his guards on the left and right.

His archery is really outstanding, unlike his companions who can only throw and scatter.Under the twilight of the moonlight, he suddenly drew his bow and set his arrow, without even aiming, but the heavy arrow flew out of the bowstring, and shot the general over a distance of dozens of steps.

Many people exclaimed at the same time, but the general still sat on his horse and led Dinghailing's cavalry into the valley.

Hundreds of iron hooves trampled on the ground in turn, rumbling and echoing.Judging by the sound, this canyon is not a dangerous place.

But Jebie sighed in disappointment.

Almost there!
He suddenly had a strange premonition, as if this arrow could not kill the enemy general, and there would be no more chances in the future.

The emotions of war horses are easily influenced by their masters.Jebie felt relieved, and the horse also slowed down a little.

And Na Ke'er and Batu'er who followed along the way felt that they had a chance to make meritorious deeds.They had already lost their temper in chasing, and now they all showed their awe and horsemanship, crossing Jebe and heading into the canyon.
