choke element

Guo Ning's words were like the beginning of a mobilization on the battlefield.

But he only spoke halfway, and suddenly stopped.All because the army in front of him was built from scratch by him, and he knew very well what the soldiers were thinking.

What is there to mobilize?
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly swept across the ground, passing over the faces of the soldiers.There was the sound of flags fluttering suddenly, and the neighing of cattle, horses, donkeys and mules one after another. The front and rear of the marching column were all covered by smoke and dust, and it was almost impossible to see the edge.

The soldiers walked past Guo Ning quickly, their footsteps rumbling.Several generals and the team noticed that Guo Ning was standing by the road, and quickly issued orders to adjust the formation to cheer up the partners.When the senior Puliyan Lao Liu walked past Guo Ning, he patted the armor on his chest and nodded slightly to Guo Ning.

Starting with him, when the soldiers walked past Guo Ning, they would pat their armor or raise their weapons.

Guo Ning nodded in return.

Don't think that the soldiers are ignorant.Many backbones of the Dinghai Navy wade out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They have a sense of smell tempered by life and death, and they can smell the indescribable tension in the air.From the moment Guo Ning gave the order to retreat, they knew everything and they were ready.

These soldiers were all knives held in the hands of foreign races, and they once shed blood and fought for the Dajin Kingdom.

The Jurchens spent decades of humiliation and bullying trying to numb and tame them.The Mongols tried to destroy their martial spirit and courage with constant massacres.Of course, sometimes the Jurchens would also slaughter, and the Mongols would humiliate and bully them. These are the basic operations of entering the main domain with a small number of foreign races.

Fortunately, the soldiers are already members of the Ding Navy.

In the Dinghai group, they have a family and dignity, so the routines of the Mongols or the Jurchens are useless.The soldiers of Dinghai only fight for themselves, holding their own knives in their hands.

At this time, more familiar faces were passing by Guo Ning's side. Their faces were tired but not depressed.Many people stared at Guo Ning, with unconcealable impatience and doubts in their eyes, but also anticipation at the same time.

Guo Ning is very convinced that this army does not need extra encouragement, nor does it need to deliberately organize language to mobilize.They are ready to fight anytime!
"The Mongols know that once our army reaches Bazhou, they will be able to rely on the cover of many ponds and remain invincible; therefore, their method of repeatedly attacking and harassing the enemy is useless. The Mongols know that our army Armaments and supplies are sufficient, and there are plenty of water sources along the way, so camping will be able to stand firm; therefore, their method of covering the enemy on the battlefield is useless. The Mongols have seen that our infantry is indestructible, and the iron artillery is infinitely powerful; therefore, Their means of attacking and piercing are useless."

Guo Ning laughed, and he asked several subordinates around him: "So, what methods do the Mongols have left?"

Yicha Chucai frowned in thought, then shook his head.He is not a warrior, and when it comes to this specific tactical choice, he has no experience.

So Zhao Jue replied: "Fight in disorder, detour."

"Exactly!" Guo Ning clapped his hands together.

"The remaining methods of the Mongols are nothing more than these two. These Tartars on the grassland are neither afraid of death nor suffering. Take out the trump card of chaotic warfare to win."

"At present, our army is marching. Once we encounter the enemy, it is difficult to hold our ground. The Mongolian cavalry enters the mountain peach bark bushes, and infiltrates with hundreds or even tens of troops. It will immediately pull the whole army into chaos and slaughter. situation. But..."

Zhao Jue asked at the right time: "Where will the Mongolian army come from as we travel along the road?"

"You just said, roundabout."

Zhao Jue suddenly understood: "Xuanshi, I will go to prepare immediately."

In the past few days, Guo Ning's team has been at the forefront of the entire army.As soon as Guo Ning waved his hand, Zhao Jue led his followers and galloped towards the front of the queue.

Yicha Chucai was a little confused: "Huh? Commander Zhao, this is..."

"The Mongolian cavalry harassed us day and night, as if to slow down our retreat so that the cavalry led by the Tartar Khan could catch up. However, if we really focus on the rear, we will suffer a lot The main force of the Mongolian cavalry has made a long detour, and must have arrived at the most suitable place for them to hide and launch an attack."

"I understand. It's like they are hiding in the Jinkou camp, waiting for us to rush to the surrounding area of ​​Zhongdu."

"That's right. But in the match three days ago, they appeared too far away. In the end, we formed an formation in time and shattered their teeth. This time they will be more patient and will stay hidden in the ambush until we approach , and then suddenly attacked. The 170-mile journey from Liangxiang to Bazhou Yijinguan is surrounded by plains. There are occasionally a few forests, but the area is too small, and our sentry cavalry can detect it clearly, and there is no way to hide the army. So, if I'm not mistaken..."

Hearing this, Chu Cairao did a good job of nourishing Qi, but his heart couldn't help beating a few times.

"If you guessed right, what would happen?"

Guo Ning raised his whip and pointed at Fang Fang: "While we were marching forcibly, the Mongolian army must have made a big detour, crossing to the front of the road that our army must pass through. Their ambush position is there."

"Triangle lake?"

Yila Chucai straightened his body on the horse, and looking there, he vaguely saw the endless reeds.And the open shallow water beach behind the reeds is reflecting sparkling waves in the sun.

Sanjiaodian Lake is the last well-known giant lake after Tangluo in Hebei Province stretches to the sea.Its waters extend over seven military prefectures, one hundred and sixty miles from east to west, twenty or thirty miles or sixty to seventy miles from north to south, and the area is very vast.The marching team of the Dinghai Navy was already close to its edge at this time, and the front team was no more than a mile away from the patch of reeds.

"The area is large enough to allow the army to hide. And the water surface of the lake can cover the traces of the cavalry's actions, so that it is not easy for our sentry cavalry to find?"

"Yes! The area around Tangluohuze in Hebei is the most suitable for ambushes and interceptions." Back then, I ambushed the Tuolei Division in Wuguan Lake in Baozhou, which caused the Mongolian army a big loss.Now the Mongolian army is using this method to deal with me. "

Speaking of this, Guo Ning couldn't help laughing twice: "Although it's spring, the water is still cold. I don't know how long it took the Mongols to get here, and how long did they soak in the water of the Triangle Lake? I wonder if they are cold? Are you tired?"

Having said that, Guo Ning lightly lifted the reins and urged the horse forward.The staff members exchanged glances with each other and followed silently.

After walking for another two or three miles, I suddenly heard a frightening whistling sound coming in like a tidal wave.

"Here we come." Guo Ning said calmly to his staff.

The group left the marching ranks again and galloped up to a small high ground nearby.

The plain between Zhongdu and Tangluo in Hebei is a natural battlefield, which is most suitable for cavalry to gallop across.In everyone's sight, there is a wilderness full of grass and shrubs everywhere, with only occasional undulations, a few abandoned ditches and ruins of towns.

When they looked to the south, they saw dense figures of Mongolians.

When tens of thousands of people urged their horses to emerge from the reeds, the sound of horseshoes treading water gathered in one place, roaring like a flood.As the horses galloped, the black or gray robes of the Mongolian knights dragged and swayed in the air, just like the black-gray ocean was rising and rushing towards the land.

This tide is intelligent and deadly.They not only flocked to Dinghai's front team, but also turned rapidly from the right side of the marching road a few miles away, forming a powerful flank, as if a giant composed of black tides was stretching its huge left arm, trying to The long and slightly loose formation of the Ding Navy was shattered, and all the soldiers were shot to death on the west bank of the Lugou River.

In just a few breaths, the outflanking posture of the cavalry became more obvious.Facing the vertically extending queue of the Dinghai Navy, they began to increase the speed of their horses, and they rushed over in such a rampage, unreasonably!

The distance between the two sides is very close, and the Mongols will kill them soon!
"Clap."

There was a soft sound behind Guo Ning.

He looked back and found that Zhang Lin's hands were shaking, causing a horsewhip with a jade handle to drop to the ground.

It was one thing to listen to Guo Ning's slow analysis just now, but it was another thing to actually see his side crashing into the snare of the Mongolian army in a daze.At this time, even the soldiers who were marching below the high ground were inevitably noisy, let alone Zhang Lin, a literati.

Zhang Lin said in a trembling voice: "The envoy is wise, you've hit the nail on the head. But, this is a dead end! How do we deal with it?"
