Chapter 361

Regarding the situation in Liaodong, Guo Ning is an outsider.Because he was outside the situation, he could clearly judge the movements of various military forces in the Northeast, and then take advantage of the gap to advance and retreat freely.In his eyes, Puxian Wannu is a piece of fat, and the power of the Khitan and Liao Kingdom, the power of the Shangjing Jin Army, and even the Mongolian Army are all customers who are on the table one after another.

But in fact, in the eyes of the Mongols, the Jin army staying in Xianping Mansion at this time is not a guest all the way?

From the standpoint of the Mongolian army, it is an unforgivable crime for Puxian Wannu, a mere dog, to deceive his master with cunning.Since Brother Yeluliu claimed to be loyal, he would use the blood of the Khitan people to prove their loyalty.

But these two parties, after all, are the results of the Mongolian people's long-term management in the Jinyuan interior, and they are all invested in it at one time. Is it only used to attract the Jin army from the Huining Mansion in Shangjing?Even if the Zhaozhou defense envoy Heshi Lied's troops are added, it is still not cost-effective. The investment of the two parties should at least wipe out the Jin army in Liaodong.

Among them, Wanyan Chengyu, the marshal Youdujian who is entrenched in Beijing's Dading Mansion and has tens of thousands of troops, was isolated from the battlefield by the Khitan and Liao Kingdom, let alone; In theory, the remaining thorn in the side is the Fuzhou capital Tonghe Shilie Huanduan, which is known for its proficiency in combat.

Heshi Liehuanduan and Guo Ning's actions to seize Xianping Mansion were violent and secretive. Up to this time, the banner of Puxian Wannu was still standing everywhere in the city, and there was no publicity.Therefore, at first only the host, Puxian Wannu, understood that his hometown had been copied.

But now that the Mongolian army has entered the northeast, with their ability to scout and cavalry everywhere, soldiers and horses from Fuzhou continue to enter Xianping Mansion, can they be hidden from their eyes and ears?

The Mongols probably didn't bother to care about the relationship between Heshi Liehuanduan and Puxian Wannu.Anyway, Puxian Wannu is very scheming, and the Mongols will not be surprised by anything he does.

They will be happy instead.

Since the soldiers and horses of Fuzhou are in Xianping Mansion, they will go to the battlefield sooner or later, whether they are on the side of Puxian Wannu, or on the side of the female general Aluzhen from Shangjing, even if they are on the side of the Khitans, it doesn't matter. Ultimately on this battlefield, the Mongols would swallow all sides.

Going on like this, since then, if they want to pacify Liaodong, they will no longer have the economical army of the Dajin Kingdom as their opponent. A day to conquer them all.

Therefore, the Mongolian army, like Guo Ning, has been waiting.What they were waiting for was the third group of eaters who should have appeared, the last Jin army in Liaodong, which was under the command of Fuzhou Heshi Liehuanduan, who might appear on this battlefield.

Guo Ning suddenly realized that all the generals present were veteran generals, and he immediately understood.

Before Guo Ning could turn around and look at him, He Shi Lie Huan Duan had already blushed and thickened his neck: "I'll order troops out of the city!"

Guo Ning didn't say much, just nodded slightly: "After leaving the city, don't hesitate to attack the Khitan army."

A moment later, the drums in Xianping Mansion rumbled.

The North City Gate slowly opened, and dozens of Qingqi, dressed in Jurchen round collar military robes and carrying simple weapons without armor, came out first.Once they left the city, they immediately dispersed into the depths of the hills, and the small flag behind them waved twice before disappearing.

Next, the more than [-] cavalry who left the city, all fully clothed and armed with swords, guns and bows, rushed out of the city, and immediately formed a fan-shaped formation as a cover.

After that, there was an infantry team of nearly 3000 people.The infantry was divided into three teams, the front, the middle and the back. The first soldier of each team held the flag high and filed out with the drumbeat.

After each part leaves the city, it immediately forms a horizontal array and moves forward slowly.As each burst moves forward, it also makes room for the next burst.

The team in the middle is the largest and has the largest number of armored elites, and there are more than a hundred cavalry covering it.A five-color flag was held high in the middle of the queue, representing the Meng'an Mouk Army from Fuzhou.

The general under the banner was Heshi Liehuanduan, and behind him was a carriage with drums and horns.

Following Heshi Liehuanduan's order, the drums were rumbling and the horns were melodious.The soldiers and horses marched clangingly, advancing quickly, and went straight to the depths of Huanglonggang.

On the top of the city, Guo Ning and others will look out from a distance.

Seeing the people and horses go away, Han Xuan praised: "This Heshi lieutenant is very good at running the army."

Guo Ning nodded.

At this time, Heshi Liehuanduan brought more than [-] soldiers and horses out of the city, the main force was the [-] Fuzhou captives who were detained by Puxian Wannu that day, and the other thousand were all the conscripts from Xianping Mansion gathered in the past few days. .

The Fuzhou army was captured that day, and all the officers were killed by Puxian Wannu.Once such experienced grassroots officers are lost, it is almost impossible to replenish them immediately, but it took only a few days for Heshi Liehuanduan to promote ordinary soldiers, reorganize the general and school system, and bring all the surrendered troops from Xianping Prefecture into command.

Seeing that the posture of the troops dispatched by this department is like a mighty army without any loose posture, this is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult.At least, Guo Ning couldn't do it, he had to be a heavy general like Heshi Liehuanduan who knew his own military situation and was already very prestigious in Liaodong.

Li Ting put his arms around his chest and sneered, "The Mongols can't hold back when Heshi Liehuan is gone, right? I never thought that I, Li Erlang, would fight side by side with the imperial soldiers one day."

Li Ting was right. Guo Ning himself never thought that he would fight side by side with the Jurchens in Liaodong, but this was a temporary alliance formed to deal with the Mongolian army.

Whether this alliance will continue in the future depends on whether Guo Ning's growth in strength can meet expectations.

The powerful warlords in the Northeast mainland have gradually recognized the weakness of the Dajin court. As the pressure from the Mongols increases, they will take the initiative to find a way out. As long as the Ding Navy continues to grow stronger, these warlords will Figure out who to rely on.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ding Navy gathered from various barracks to the square behind the city gate, preparing for the battle in an orderly manner.

Teams of cavalry, archers, sword-axes, and spearmen assembled in response to the calm and vigorous shouts of the officers. When they walked, the blades of the iron armor collided intensively, making a roar like a sea tide.

Some archers seized the time and sharpened their arrows on the bricks and stones on the ground, making hoarse and sharp friction sounds; some soldiers chatted with each other, occasionally bursting with laughter; even war horses could feel the special atmosphere in the air , Some war horses neighed happily, and some war horses seemed to be pulled temporarily to make up the number, snorting uneasily.

Guo Ning is very used to this dense and noisy sound, he has heard it too much since he was a child.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a rush of hoofbeats under the city, and it was the scouts sent by Ni Yi before returning.

The scouts along the way were busy with travel and dust, and everyone was on two horses.It was the team of elite knights appointed by Guo Ning to spy all the way to Guangning Mansion.

The leading knight rushed to the top of the city, and said a few words to Guo Ning with a strange expression.

Guo Ning was slightly taken aback and laughed.

He totally got it.

He leaned back slightly, leaned against the female wall, stretched his waist, and felt that the vague anxiety of the previous few days was slowly relaxing at this time.

He said: "Don't worry, everyone, the power of the Mongolian army on the battlefield here is very limited."

Li Ting asked, "How did you see that?"

"The inland of Jinyuan, for us, is the source of war horses and many materials, the source of commercial interests, and the strong support for Shandong to accumulate grain and build high walls. But for the Mongols, the output of white mountains and black waters and What is the essential difference in the grassland?"

The generals were thoughtful, and Guo Ning continued: "By attacking the northeast interior, the Mongolian army can't get any considerable benefits. For the Mongolians, the real attraction is always the rich and prosperous Central Plains. So...they The power invested here is limited, and it is precisely because of its limited power that it relies so much on the exertion of its servants, even using the bloody sacrifices of the Khitan people as bait."

Guo Ning closed his eyes slightly and listened attentively.

He said slowly: "Don't worry, after this battle is over, the Mongols will get what they want, and we will also get what we want."

He heard the dull sound of horseshoes getting louder, he heard the birds flying in the hills and valleys, and he heard the characteristic high or low roars of the Mongolian army before they went into battle.

"The fourth batch of diners is here! Everyone, let's go fight!"
