Chapter 584 Deterrence

Since the shipbuilding industry of the Kingdom of Jin had been neglected for a long time, compared with the large ships built by the Song people in the Southern Dynasties, the Tongzhou-like ships of the Ding Navy were like toys and seldom threatened. Even as merchant ships, they fell behind.Therefore, Dinghai's fleet is usually only responsible for short distances around the Bohai Sea, and occasionally visits the Qingyuan Mansion in the Song Dynasty. Compared with the most common fishing oars under the Coastal Management Department of the Song Dynasty, it feels ashamed.

Li Yun once instructed Zhang Kai to ask a lieutenant general in Jiangdongzhai, Qingyuan Prefecture, how much money it would cost to buy a fishing oar, but the lieutenant hadn't said anything yet, and the middle-aged lion opened his mouth, saying that because all the layers from the shipyard to the big men above were To manage, one thousand and five hundred strings are required, and five ships are sold.

Business may not be impossible, but the expenses are too high.Guo Ning had already spent a lot of money on placing soldiers and allocating acres of land in Shandong for cattle, farm tools, seeds, etc., so this matter had to be postponed.

But these ships are now running across the depths of the Triangle Lake, but they are full of momentum and majesty.Most of the Mongols had never seen a sea-going ship, and when they saw this gigantic beast carrying soldiers approaching in a file, they felt that they could not match it at all, and fled in all directions.

In fact, the water on the shore of Sanjiao Lake is shallow, and the sea boats going to the lake can only shout and threaten from a long distance. Even if they shoot arrows, they have to use their strength to barely reach the shore.

The Mongols were really overwrought.

They fled from the lake, and then ran into the suppression of Ding Haijun.In the previous chaotic battle between the two armies, no one had a formation to speak of, but now the Ding Navy can form multiple spear formations with a size of two to three hundred people.

There are several places suitable for landing. The corpses of the Mongols piled up more and more, and even piled up into piles, allowing people to stand firmly.The water in the lake was slapped, and the pile of corpses was rippling with blood one after another.

At this time, the busy ones on the battlefield were replaced by the auxiliary soldiers of Dinghai. Most of their soldiers dispersed to search for the injured Dinghai officers and soldiers and give them first aid.A small number were responsible for bringing back the running horses, moving out supplies from dozens of carts, and directly feeding these frightened and restless livestock with beans.

There are also some auxiliary soldiers holding straight knives to patrol around the battlefield, while guarding other companions, while continuing to kill the Mongols who are alone, even those with minor or serious injuries will not be spared.

Two or three auxiliary soldiers followed the sound of rushing water and walked straight into the depths of the swamp.

After walking for more than two miles, I finally caught up with the Mongolian nobleman who looked like Qianhu.There was a long wound on Qianhu Nayan's flank, and blood kept gushing out, and he lay on his back in the sewage up to his ankle, unable to move.But seeing Ding Haijun's auxiliary soldiers approaching with swords, he still yelled loudly, and took out several strings of gold beads from his arms to show the soldiers.

This is obviously begging for mercy, but the auxiliary soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties in the battle just now, and they were full of killing intent.These auxiliary soldiers are all active members of the auxiliary soldiers, and will soon be transferred to the main army. Let them do this to make everyone see their blood.

So several auxiliary soldiers cooperated, one held down Qianhu Nayan's body, one grabbed his braid and lifted it up, and the other took a good posture and slashed at the neck with force.

The daily training of the auxiliary soldiers is also very good. This knife is accurate and powerful, and with a crisp sound, the head will be chopped off.But this action caused complaints from several companions, who felt that his action was too neat, which made the Mongolian die too simply.

Immediately, several people swung their knives and slashed at the corpse a few more times, cutting off the arms and legs, and then they left satisfied.

The auxiliary soldiers didn't notice that more than a hundred steps away from them, separated by a bush, there were more than a dozen people who were stiff and didn't dare to breathe, staring at them as they left.

These people are the generals of the Hebei Army who are in charge of guarding Yijin Pass.They were certain of the victory of Dinghai before they dared to approach the battlefield a little bit and watch the battle from a close distance.At this time, several people lowered their heads, watching the felt hat of Qianhu Nayan swaying with the water, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little sad.

"Tiemuzhen has been on the plateau for more than [-] years, and he has killed the whole kingdom of Jin in a hundred battles. Only then has he gained the prestige he has today. Unexpectedly, he will lose so badly today!"

After a while, the guard let out a long sigh.

A few small schools nearby watched the battle with bated breath, and when they took a breath, they realized that their robes were soaked through, and several of them said in succession:

"Look at the soldiers of the Ding Navy, how vicious they are! They...they...compared to what we saw in Dizhou, Shandong, they are much stronger!"

"Pu Sanxuan is no match for the Mongolian army, but they killed the Mongolian army like cutting melons and vegetables. This is too cruel, we are definitely not the opponent!"

After several people said a few words, an angry cough suddenly came from behind.

When several generals turned their heads, they saw Heshi Liepula, a heavy general of the Hebei Army, with a livid face, staring at them as if he wanted to eat people.

Pusan ​​Anzhen's control of Hebei mainly relied on the Caohe along the East Hebei Road, and took Yijin Pass in Bazhou as a hub to control the west and north directions.So after his family led the troops to the north, he asked the general Heshilie Pula, who was originally in charge of the Jingzhou Water Transportation Department, to bring two thousand elite soldiers to the north to ensure his retreat.

As soon as Heshilie Puladu arrived at Yijin Pass from Jingzhou, he heard that the Pu Sanxuan envoy was defeated and his family was captured by the Mongols, who were still chasing Dinghai all the way south.He was taken aback, and hurriedly brought a few more men to investigate the front line.

When the clinker rushed to this place, he bumped into his generals, everyone was terrified, and they were all preaching the power of Ding Hai, so he suddenly lost his temper.

"Last year and the year before last, the water transportation was cut off, and Guo Ning took advantage of the sea transportation to reap countless benefits, and that's why he piled up such an army!" He Shiliepu's eyes were full of hatred.He said: "Now that the water transportation is about to be opened up, we have the advantage of the water river. We sit on the ground to collect money and train soldiers. We will definitely be able to train elite soldiers! At that time, we will write to the imperial court to punish Guo Ning for his crime of disregarding his allies!"

Several generals stared blankly at Heshi Liepu Ladu, and looked at each other twice, but no one responded.

After a while, the same Jurchen guard couldn't help ridiculing: "Guo Ning ran wild in Liaohai and Shandong with tens of thousands of horses. In the past few years, I have not seen him do anything to him. Now he is head-on with tens of thousands of people in Mongolia. Cavalry, killing and injuring thousands, and capturing the white banner of Genghis Khan, the military power will soon shake the world. Could it be that General He Shilie intends to gather the forces of the servants to scatter the envoys and confront him head-on?"

"If not, what else can we do?" Heshi Liepuladu yelled.

Several Jue Congs at the side quickly came up to stop them: "General, keep silent! Keep silent!"

Heshi Liepura lowered his voice, and when he was about to speak again, he saw that the expressions of the generals in front of him were not right.

"Damn, what do you mean? You are all Jurchens, don't mess around!"

The guard trembled violently in fright, his lips trembling: "I, I..."

The military academy in charge of scouting on the side smiled wryly: "It's not that there are no Jurchens under Guo Ning's command. What's more, even though I am a Jurchen, I have read the books of the Han family in the early years, know a few Chinese characters, and can write Han'er's articles .”

Another person also said: "Since Guo Ning has won this game, he must take Hebei next. I don't think the court can stop it, and maybe it will push the boat along. Why do we have to fight hard? Why don't we offer Yijin Pass as soon as possible?" , in exchange for some small meritorious service, the big deal is that they will not be soldiers in the future, and they will return to their hometowns to farm."

After these two sentences were uttered, the rest of the people around nodded repeatedly, and even the guard showed a look of relief.

"How dare you! The envoy Pu Sanxuan has only been defeated for a few days, and you have become like this? We still have soldiers and horses under our hands, as well as territory, so there is a lot to do! Why do you..."

Heshi Liepu raised his halberd and pointed, wishing he could draw out his sword and hack all these traitors to death.

But after thinking about it, the guards at Yijin Pass are like this, and so are the guards all over Hebei. Even the two thousand soldiers under his own hands are probably not tough.He trained hard in Hebei for a whole year with the envoy of Pu San, but only gathered this kind of goods. He couldn't help being frightened and depressed, and his whole body was cold.
