choke element

Chapter 550

Under the gradually dimming sky, war horses galloped, warriors roared, and huge cavalry drove all kinds of war horses soaring across the field.How magnificent is this scene, as if a giant stepping on the ground swayed mottled colors wantonly towards the ground.Large or small pieces of color become alive as soon as they hit the ground. They separate and reunite, constantly swimming forward, trying to devour something.

Such a scene has lasted for countless years on the grassland, and every time it appears outside the grassland, it represents unstoppable power and terrible killing.The Mongolian army is especially strong among them, and the Qixue army of the Mongolian Khan is the pinnacle of force in the Mongolian army.

When he was in Northern Xinjiang, Guo Ning had a brief fight with Qi Xuejun.The reason why it is short is that every time the cowardly Xue army enters the battlefield, it will soon bring about its own defeat; when Guo Ning fled among the rout troops, these cowardly Xue troops were not so keen on pursuing.

After Guo Ning settled in Shandong, he fought several times with the Mongols.Every time, his strength is stronger than before, and every time he can overwhelm the opposite Mongolian army.But he still clearly remembered that if ordinary Mongolian warriors were beasts, the soldiers of the Kexue Army were hunters.They are calm, smart, bloodthirsty, brutal, and proficient in all the skills of fighting and slaughtering on the grassland.

When the knights of the timid army gathered into groups and went to the battlefield, at first they drove straight in regardless of the number of enemies.But in the process, they can quickly change their strategy according to the development of the situation, changing a strong attack into a harassment at any time, a harassment into a lure, a delusion into a moment of delay, and a moment of delay into a collision from all directions.

All enemies who were defeated by them lost the initiative early and were led by their noses, and finally walked step by step into the abyss of failure.

Changing tactics so freely requires not only excellent riding skills and close cooperation, but also the exquisite command from the ten commander to the thousand commander and even the commander himself.Not to mention that the Mongolian army, relying on the superiority of the cavalry, can continue to criticize and attack the enemy on a scale of hundreds of miles, which makes the enemy exhausted.

In these aspects, the Ding Navy will not be able to catch up in a short time.No matter how much Guo Ning invests in expanding the cavalry, the inherent shortcomings are there, and they can't be compared with it.

The most elite troops under Guo Ning's command are his iron floating map cavalry.This cavalry inherited the tradition of the Golden Army Tiefutu, and was as fierce and full of brute force as Guo Ning himself, and was good at attacking and sweeping the battlefield.

Guo Ning knew that his own command ability had only reached this stage.Fortunately, on the battlefield, not only subtle and complex things can win the victory.

Just now servant San Anzhen was on the rocky hill and angrily reprimanded Ding Haijun for fighting stupidly.He was absolutely right.Guo Ning is planning to fight a dumb war.Moreover, it is necessary to pull the main force of the Mongolian army and fight a dull battle face to face.

The plan was to start with the unexpected killing of Jebe by Han Xuan's troops.

Jebe was an important general who was personally promoted to the army after the rise of Genghis Khan. In a sense, his prestige was equivalent to that of Genghis Khan, and even represented the Mongolian army's confidence in its invincibility.

It has been less than ten years since Genghis Khan held the Kuliltai at the source of the Onan River and established the Great Mongol Kingdom.The many tribes on the grasslands gathered in one place entirely by relying on Genghis Khan's continuous military victories.This cohesion naturally has its fragility.

Therefore, Jebe's death was definitely not an ordinary defeat. Genghis Khan had to use a victory of sufficient weight to cheer people up and overwhelm the impact of this defeat.The so-called victory of sufficient weight is either Daxing Mansion, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, or the enemy who continues to block the Mongolian Kingdom, and the navy Guo Ning will be determined.It must be one of the two.

In this regard, Guo Ning has no opinion.

He has always regarded the Mongolian army as a great enemy, but he doesn't care about the hostility of the Mongolians towards him.The last thing he wanted to see was that the Mongols used cavalry to drive thousands of miles across the territory of the Kingdom of Jin just like the previous time they went south to conquer gold.

The last time the fourth prince Tuo Lei led his troops into Shandong, he suffered a great loss because of his lack of understanding of the strength of the Ding Navy, but even so, the Ding Navy did not dare to kill Tuo Lei, and at the same time he was powerless to prevent Tuo Lei from defeating Shandong in succession. Jin Jun vented his anger.

After two years, the Ding Navy has grown stronger and its soldiers have become more elite.If confronted head-on, Guo Ning is fully confident that at least he can overwhelm the ordinary Mongolian thousand households.

The problem is that Dinghai's territory has expanded tenfold, and the 52 military prefectures and [-] counties must be covered everywhere.If Genghis Khan personally led his troops south to burn, kill and loot, how could Guo Ning cope with it?He tried his best to stop it, but it was really difficult to stop it.

No matter how much the Ding Navy fights, the battlefield will always be in Shandong.Wherever the Mongolian army went, it could easily turn many military states on Shandong East Road into white ground, and wipe out the achievements of the Ding Navy's hard work.So, even if Guo Ning can drive away the Mongolian army in the end, isn't this still a failure?

Therefore, the best plan is to go to Zhongdu to fight a war. The best situation is what it is now. As soon as he arrives in Zhongdu, he will watch Genghis Khan use his most elite cavalry to kill him!
Guo Ning believed that with Genghis Khan's intelligence, he must be able to understand that the so-called luggage team that came to Zhongdu is the main force of the Ding Navy, and it must be led by Guo Ning himself.Now that the traces of the main force of the Ding Navy have been discovered, Genghis Khan will never give up the opportunity to wipe them out.

Of course, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing.Before Guo Ning dispatched troops to Zhongdu, the generals discussed behind closed doors several times, and there were no less than a dozen plans at hand.It's just that the situation in front of him is exactly in line with the one that Ding Navy's heavy generals are particularly looking forward to.

In this regard, the closer Guo Ning gets to Zhongdu, the stronger the premonition.

Considering the current situation from another angle, after the Beijing Road fell into the control of the Mongolian army, San Anzhen, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hebei, and Guo Ning, the envoy of Xuanfu in Shandong, were already the only ones who could dispatch the army to participate in the war in Zhongdu. senior staff.

As the Jin army directly under the imperial court retreated to the two strongholds of Zhongdu and Tongzhou, except for the war along the Lushui line, the vast land of Beijing Road has been allowed to run freely by the Mongolian army.The situation was so clear that the Mongols had only needed to drive the hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops to fill the moats of the central capital with their lives.This is very simple to do.

If Guo Ning and Pu San Anzhen's troops really contacted the soldiers and horses of the Central Capital, and instead formed a fixed stronghold outside the city to make a corner... that would add unnecessary variables to the battle situation.

Genghis Khan did not need such a variable, so the Mongolian army would definitely wipe out the enemy troops who dared to intervene in Zhongdu as soon as possible.

If the soldiers of these two places were wiped out under the city of Zhongdu, it would also greatly shake the will of the Zhongdu court, which would be beneficial to Genghis Khan's subsequent attack on Zhongdu.

So, aren't the Mongols here?
Of course, there are deliberate elements in determining the navy's style of play.Such a head-on fight as soon as they come up, is it not a dull fight for the Mongols?

Guo Ning squinted his eyes, looking at the Mongolian cavalry that gradually filled his vision.

After the horses rushed into the formation, the smoke and dust surrounding the formation had settled slightly, allowing him to see far away.Not only the fearful Xue Jun who was getting closer, Guo Ning also saw the tall white banner with nine prongs in the distance.

That is where Genghis Khan is, that is an unprecedented enemy, but Guo Ning is ready, and Ding Haijun is also ready.This time, he can be defeated!

Guo Ning couldn't help raising his voice, and shouted loudly: "Good job!"

The cavalry of the cowardly Xue army rushed close in a blink of an eye.The armor they wore, the knives and guns they held, and the arrows that were about to fly from the bows and arrows they opened seemed to be shining coldly at this moment.In the Ding Navy queue, all the soldiers also roared at the same time.

In Dinghailing's queue, there were still a small number of frenzied horses running around.

Relying on arduous training, the soldiers restored the integrity of the army formation as quickly as possible.But those crazy war horses are indeed a big trouble, because of their delay, several queues have not had time to regroup.Several gaps were only filled with shields arranged on the outermost edge, and the queues for internal staggered cover were far from being fully in place.

Even if troops filled the places where they were in place, many soldiers arrived panting, yet they hadn't put down their shields or leveled their spears.

The soldiers had already moved as fast as possible, and they were only a little slower.

The rain of arrows shot by the Huo'erchi in Qi Xue's army was aimed at these gaps, and the unprepared soldiers poured down.Fortunately, Wang Shixian had already rushed to the front to sit in town. Under his order, dense arrow rain also flew from the inside of Dinghai's army formation, covering the Mongolian cavalry.

At the last moment before the two sides fought, the arrows seemed to be swept by a heavy rainstorm, and the raindrops staggered in the air, and they also rushed out of different canyons like torrents, slapping and churning each other.Thousands of arrows flew across the air, collided with each other, and then fell and hit each other, causing a fatal blow to each other.
