Chapter 105 Bash

At the beginning of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zheng Nuzhen was the elite armored army. Both men and horses wore iron armor, and they were called the Hard Army.In every battle, the hard army is the vanguard.

If the enemy army is weak, the iron cavalry will break through at the first charge; if the enemy army is strong, the iron cavalry will continue to reorganize, continuously attack the enemy's formation, advance repeatedly, disperse and reunite, and even attack a hundred times in a row, and finally break through the strong enemy. Record.

However, the strength of Jurchen has only been around for twenty years.

As the Jurchens moved to the Central Plains in large numbers, many households indulged in parasitic life and devoted themselves to idleness, and the quality of the Jurchens' cavalry went from bad to worse.When King Hailing was around, one of the generals of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty said: "The enemy's soldiers are easy to fight, and ten of them are defeated by one or two of the tribes."

The so-called enemy soldiers in the Song Dynasty refer to the Jurchens, and the so-called tribes refer to more and more Khitan, Bohai, Xi and even Wanggu cavalry in the Jin army. .

Are those alien cavalry really fierce?Not really.

For example, the Khitan cavalry are notoriously light and untidy, and their retreat is shameless.They only have the patience to charge once on the battlefield, and if they fail once, they will immediately disperse.The Bohai people and Xi people are weaker than the Khitan people.

In the past few years, the scale of the war between the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia has continued to expand. From the grasslands north of Jiehao to the Central Plains and the interior, battles between Mongolian cavalry and Jin Army cavalry have broken out everywhere.After thousands of battles, the Golden Army cavalry has no secrets in the eyes of the Mongols.

"At this moment, the leader of the enemy army must think that it only takes one or two outflanking shots to defeat us. Just like that day in Wushabao and Badger's mouth, the Mongolian army was moving freely, and our army would lead the way. Afterwards, the troops followed, completely ignoring the order of the golden drum. As a result, tens of thousands of people were chased and killed by the Mongolian cavalry, just like mowing grass. But..."

Speaking of this, Guo Ning set up a pergola and looked from a distance.

The sun is getting more and more glaring.Directly ahead, the Mongolian cavalry had crossed the shallows.

Because they had to make a bend along the river beach and bypass the wetlands and reeds on the way, the Mongolian cavalry was still more than two miles away from the flat ground in front of Yaerzhai where Guo Ning and others stopped.

This is a very suitable distance for cavalry to sprint.

Hundreds of Mongolian knights at the front began to urge their horses. As the speed of the horses galloped up, the sound of trampling hooves became more and more intense, turning into an uninterrupted tumbling tide, like turbulent water waves running along the river. swept up.

The terrain in the Tangbo area is complex and changeable, and the area available for troop deployment is narrow, which is not suitable for the cavalry to advance and retreat in a large range, but because of this, the momentum of the cavalry galloping becomes more and more magnificent.

Before the horses and men arrived, the smoke and dust from the horseshoes arrived first with the wind, tumbling and choking people.

Guo Ning coughed twice, and continued the original topic: "However, the Mongolian army in front of us is different from the elite Mongolian headquarters that were chasing us and fighting to the death. And we are no longer the loose sand that day."

The enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, and many soldiers stood up on their horses, ready to fight.Several people shouted sharply: "Please give orders, sir!"

"Wait a second."

The Mongols used the usual tactics.

The well-equipped heavy cavalry followed, and the light cavalry with bows and arrows took the lead.

Looking around, I saw that among the hundreds of knights, many of them wrapped their leather jackets around their waists, their dark upper bodies were naked, and their hair was disheveled like ghosts.As they rode their horses and galloped, they let out a palpitating high-pitched roar.Guo Ning often felt that these light cavalry were coming like a swarm of furious hornets.

Hornets may be small, but they are very poisonous and can sting people to death.

In the many battles inside and outside the boundary trench that year, the Mongolian Qingqi relied on repeated running, feinting and interspersing to disrupt the strict formation of the Jin army.If it weren't for a persevering army, they would be defeated without a fight if they only lightly cavalry and pretended to charge several times.

And if the Jin army sent out its own cavalry to disperse the Mongolian light cavalry, the Mongolian heavy cavalry with better equipment and better at impact and fighting would quickly go out and beat the Jin army's cavalry.

Fortunately, Guo Ning has seen this scene too many times.

The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind, and the commander with superior military strategy was adapting to the situation on the battlefield. From the perspective of outsiders, it seemed that there were ever-changing changes.

However, no matter how subtle the tactics are, in the final analysis, there are only a few main principles.A veteran soldier like Guo Ning, who has seen too much and escaped too many times, as long as he is not too stupid, he can always slowly extract the laws.

In previous years, no matter how much such an old soldier knew, it was impossible for him to be promoted to the position of general.In the eyes of the big men above, what do mere pawns know?It is serious to go to the battlefield honestly to put a knife on the battlefield.

But Guo Ning's department is different.He himself is an old soldier in the front line, and the backbone of his army is the last remnant of hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the Jiehao Great Wall, and even in the three border towns of Chang, Huan, and Fu.

Guo Ning and others understand the tactics of the Mongolian army, just as the Mongolian army understands the habits of the Jin army.

But what the Mongolian army didn't know was that what they were facing was not an ordinary Jin army!
The Jurchens have long since lost the ruthlessness of the iron cavalry to charge and kill, so that they have become the laughing stock in the eyes of the Mongols.But Guo Ning and his subordinates have plenty of this kind of ruthless energy, this kind of fierce energy that has survived many battles!Who dare not ride and charge?
"Since there is no frontal projection, it can be seen that the bows and arrows they are equipped with are of different specifications, and they have to approach sideways to shoot arrows uniformly. So...do you think the Mongols will go left or right?" In the deafening hoofbeats, Guo Ning asked.

Several people replied at the same time: "It must go to the right, outflank our left wing!"

Qingqi galloped and shot on the battlefield. It seemed that the route of the cavalry was changing in many ways. In fact, once the cavalry came into contact with the enemy, every time they changed direction, they would most likely go to the right.

Because except for a few good players, most knights hold the bow in their left hand and draw the string with their right hand.They are on horseback and can shoot to the left freely, but it is difficult to shoot arrows to the right.

Especially in the battle between the two armies, the Mongols' first wave of arrow rain covered them, striving to kill quickly, accurately, ruthlessly, and intensively.So, riding to the right is the only option.

Guo Ning nodded.

"Li Erlang's troops stay here and guard the army flag."

"Yes!"

"Others..." Guo Ning suddenly raised his spirits and shouted loudly: "Do you dare to fight?"

Behind him, two hundred selected armored knights responded loudly: "Dare!"

Guo Ning reached out and took out the iron gun: "Then follow me!"

Two hundred iron cavalry rode their horses at the same time, with a murderous look.

They followed behind Guo Ning, and they didn't go straight to the enemy's way, but went straight to their left flank.

Guo Ning's control over the movement and movement of the cavalry, as well as his grasp of the direction of the advance, all come from the accumulation of fighting again and again.At this moment, it looked quite wonderful, it was not simply fast or slow, but precisely grasped the moment when the Mongolian Qingqi slightly adjusted its rhythm and was ready to shoot.

At this time, the Mongolian Qingqi was only two hundred steps away from Guo Ning's position. In a hurry, they had no time to change direction, let alone rein in their horses.

As soon as the armored knights pushed the speed of their horses to the extreme, the two teams collided squarely.Among the Mongols, only those who were more alert immediately switched to knives and guns. Many people didn't react at all, and even subconsciously fired a round of arrows in the direction of the army behind!

The arrows were still flying crookedly in the air, and Guo Ning led two hundred iron cavalry, and he was deeply wedged into the Mongolian light cavalry formation. His momentum was like a giant swinging a heavy long knife and giant axe, chopping dead wood.

The Mongolian army has more troops and more momentum, but at this moment, when the Qingqi in the front is playing tactics step by step, it is solidly attacked by Guo Ning.

This is a decisive blow that has been prepared for a long time and uses the strong to bully the weak!
In the next moment, the horses collided and neighed, the knights screamed, and the sounds of weapons criss-crossing and colliding until the flesh and bones were chopped off continued one after another.Everyone in the cavalry, every horse, and their entire field of vision are occupied by waving knives and guns and splashing blood.

The iron cavalry fell into the formation, with momentum like a rainbow, but Guo Ning still rushed to the front, his heroic posture made the soldiers in the formation shake their spirits.

"Damn, Guo Liulang is really..." Li Ting stared for a long while, only to feel his mouth dry.

He smacked his lips, spit two mouthfuls of saliva, then looked around, and said seriously: "Actually, I can do it too!"

Behind the army formation, Wanyan Congjia was stunned, and only murmured: "This... this is Tiefutu!"
