choke element

After yelling, Shiji Hubald suddenly panicked for some reason.Exhausted and nervous, he knelt down in front of Genghis Khan with a plop.

Among Genghis Khan's cronies, Shiji Hutuhu is known for being good at impartial punishment and resolving conflicts.Therefore, after the establishment of the Great Mongol Kingdom, he was appointed by Genghis Khan as the Dazaluhuchi, that is, the judge.All matters related to litigation and enfeoffment cannot be changed by others after the decision is made.

However, he was dissatisfied with being a judge. He asked himself that in terms of fortitude and daring to fight, he was no less than Bo Erhu, Qu Chu and other companions, and he was enough to make contributions on the battlefield. That's why he followed Genghis Khan closely this time, and won the command yesterday. First chance.

Shiji Hutuhu grasped this opportunity very well, and he asked himself that the command did not make any mistakes.

The tactics he used were the most standard tactics for the Mongols to deal with the Jin army's infantry.According to Genghis Khan's instructions, he and Mu Huali carefully analyzed the experience of Dinghai's several battles, and found that they are best at using iron floating map cavalry to charge the battle.So in yesterday's battle, he deliberately accelerated the pace of continuous attacks in order to lead the situation into chaos and melee, and did not give the navy any room to use its iron cavalry to clash.

As a result, Ding Haijun took out a strange weapon that was rare before, and gave the Mongolian army a defeat.

Seeing the tragic situation at that time, Shiji suddenly bald and beat his chest and screamed in pain on the battlefield, and pulled out his own beard to boost morale.Immediately charged forward in person, led the team to defeat the Jurchens on Lishigang, trying to find a chance to turn the tables on the flanks.But that wasn't quite a success either.The Jurchens were routed and even their leaders were captured, but Ding Haijun remained steadfast.

Therefore, the crime of defeat in this battle fell completely on Shiji Hutuhu's head.Such a huge loss almost needs to pay for it with his own life.Even though Shiji Hutuhu once obtained Genghis Khan's promise of immortality for nine crimes, a caning is always inevitable.

When the troops were withdrawn yesterday, it was already late at night, and Genghis Khan did not make any judgment on the defeat.Shi Ji Hu bald Hu covered his head in the smelly wool felt, afraid that he would hear the whispers of his companions around him, afraid that he would come into contact with their contemptuous eyes.

After tossing and turning without sleep all night, before dawn in the morning, he suddenly had a new hope.

Maybe the Ding Navy will have some special moves that can be used by our army?For example, is it possible that they, like other Jurchen armies, occasionally celebrate with ecstasy when they win, so that the army is disorganized?
With strong expectations, Shiji Hutuhu took people out of the sentry early and touched the vicinity of Ding Haijun's barracks, and chased and killed Ding Haijun several times.In the end, although he never saw the details of Ding Haijun, he managed to catch a few Alixi who were alone, and asked the important news.

"Fifty thousand reinforcements? A decisive battle?"

The great shaman Korchi was lifting the sheepskin on the top of the tent for Genghis Khan. Hearing these two words, his hands trembled, and the dust on the skin fell down, almost splashing on the sweat's face.

Genghis Khan looked up at the sky, then at Shijihutuhu and Huoerchi.

He snorted coldly and cursed: "What's so surprising about this? Start the fire and bring the pancakes and mutton! I'll wait until I'm full! Who's the Sugurchi on duty? Take my new robe Bring it!"

Huo'erchi hastily took out his scythe to start a fire, Shiji Hubald Hu got up, holding the dry bark with both hands.When the bonfire was lit, Bao'erchi came in from the outside and set up a large soup pot containing mutton and mutton bones; Sugulchi held robes and put them on for Genghis Khan.

Only Huo'erchi picked up a lamb blade from the hot soup pot, tore a bite out of it, then retreated to the corner of the tent with his pigtails tossed, picked up the tambourine and muttered his words.

Genghis Khan gobbled it up and asked, "How did you get the news of the [-] reinforcements?"

"I arrested two Alixis who were in the navy, and Quchu also caught one. The three were interrogated separately, and the results were the same. It is said that this was what Guo Ning said to the generals in the big tent last night. , the successor soldiers and horses gathered in Shandong, set off five days ago, and are heading north along the Cao River."

"The thousand-man team that came out is in charge of scouting. It is his subordinate Duo'er who should go south. What news does Duo'er have?"

"Not yet. However, Qu Chu sent another team of Na Ke'er to investigate south."

Genghis Khan rubbed his ruddy face, rustling his rough fingers.

Genghis Khan watched the whole battle yesterday.He is very clear that even if he personally directs, it will not be stronger than Shiji Hutuhu.The military formation of the Ding Navy is strict, the tenacity of the soldiers, and the weapons, especially the weapons that are thrown and make a loud noise, are far more powerful than any army Genghis Khan has seen before.

Such an army has thousands of people, and it can defeat ordinary Mongolian households several times in a row.With 1 people, the most elite Qi Xue army in the Mongolian Kingdom can suffer a big loss in the field.What if there are tens of thousands of people?Fifty thousand soldiers from the Ding Navy came to Zhongdu, how to deal with it?

Genghis Khan glanced at Shiji Hutu, and from his face, he saw the shock, shake and fear that he was trying to hide.Genghis Khan thought that with the invincibility of the Mongolian army, he would never see such an expression on the faces of Mongolian warriors again.

If [-] reinforcements were to arrive, it would be impossible to rely on the cowardly Xue army alone.Compared with Ding Haijun, the troops of Shi Tianying and others are mobs and they are not reliable.I'm afraid, I have to take the cowardly Xue army to retreat for a while, and then dispatch the Wanggu tribe north of Qingbaikou to go south; or, let Mu Huali's troops take action.

Even if this is the case, there is no guarantee that the Zhongdu will be won this time as expected!What a big trouble it is to order [-] reinforcements from the navy!
Thinking of this, Genghis Khan found with some regret that he had never thought of taking action before the reinforcements arrived, defeating the Ding Navy in front of him in one go, and seizing the initiative.

When they set out from Jinkou Camp, the whole army firmly believed that they could destroy Dinghai in one go and avenge Jebe.After only one day, did even I, Temujin, subconsciously give up this idea?

Genghis Khan laughed at himself, smiled, and suddenly said to Shiji: "This is fake!"

"fake?"

"The Ding Navy has a Zhigu stronghold by the sea. Shi Tianying said that the strength is about seven or eight thousand. I guess he exaggerated because he couldn't take down the Zhigu stronghold. However, three thousand to five thousand is possible. Yes. The Ding Navy has another unit in Gaizhou in Liaodong, and when they fought against Jebe, they also dispatched thousands of people."

Genghis Khan had a piece of mutton in his mouth and kept chewing, his voice seemed vague.This year, although he is still strong, his teeth are worse than before.Originally opening his mouth was a piece of mutton with skin and tendons, but now he had to show some patience.

"Why did they divide their troops into these two places? Is it because they have too many troops?"

Shiji Hutu thought for a while, and shook his head again and again: "The soldiers and horses in those two places all want to attract our forces away from the central capital! The Ding Navy's troops are insufficient, so they made such a complicated dispatch. !"

The more limited the troops are, the more aggressive we must be, constantly deploying multiple battlefields to mobilize the enemy.This is how the Mongols fought, so it was easy for them to see the implications of Ding Hai's actions.

"The equipment and training level of the Ding Navy is much higher than that of the ordinary Jin army; therefore, 1 people here are more difficult to deal with than a [-] Jin army. But to support such elites and support them to fight far away from their hometown, the consumption must be huge The land in Ding Haijun's hands is only one Shandong Road and half Dongdong Road. How many soldiers can he support? Although I have never been to Shandong, but I want to come, even if that place is richer than Zhongdu Road and Hebei Road, it is not as rich as ten thousand. Double the truth!"

Genghis Khan snapped his fingers and said affirmatively:

"In the hands of Ding Haijun, there will be no more than 5 elite soldiers who can really fight! They can't send [-] people at all!"

"Big Khan means..."

"Dinghai doesn't have that many people available! Even if they still have some troops, they have to stay in Shandong to defend against the Jurchens. It is impossible for the whole army to go north and fight us decisively! This news is false, and it was deliberately released by Guo Ning of!"

"The soldiers of the Dinghai Navy were ordered to scare us?" Shiji Hutu suddenly got up: "I'll kill them!"

"return!"

Genghis Khan finally swallowed a large piece of mutton.He waved his hand to stop Shiji Hutuhu, and asked, "Apart from the rumors of reinforcements, what did those prisoners say?"

"Yes, yes. They also said that since last night, the navy has ordered the entire army to come out with light cavalry. It is said that Guo Ning sent an order to cover the battlefield and prevent us from exploring their base camp."

"Oh? Is this true?"

"Quchu also said the same thing. Al Jinchi, his subordinate, has fought with Dinghailing Qingqi several times since last night, killing and injuring more than 20 people. I detoured around Liangxiang County in the early morning, and I really felt that Dinghailing's scouting horse The number is extremely large, at least three times the usual amount."

After a pause, Shiji Hutuhu said with some shame: "My guys tried their best, but they couldn't completely avoid the Dinghai cavalry, so they only caught a few Ali Xilai... If you catch a two-year-old A cavalry military academy, how can I ask more detailed questions."

Genghis Khan got up and walked a few steps in the tent.

"While releasing false news that reinforcements are coming, at the same time trying to cover the surrounding area of ​​the camp so that we don't come closer to investigate? Huh?"

Genghis Khan suddenly thought of a possibility.

Shijihu's bald eyes also brightened.

"Khan, yesterday we captured the leader of the Hebei army, Pusan ​​Anzhen, and the Jurchens' soldiers and horses were immediately disbanded. Pusan ​​Anzhen is the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei, and I heard that he has a high prestige. I think if this news spreads to Hebei, and the whole of Hebei will also be in chaos. The base of the Ding Navy is in Shandong, and they have crossed the entire Hebei before reaching the surrounding areas of Zhongdu to fight. Once Hebei is shaken, their food roads and retreats will immediately have problems!"

"go on!"

"So, under the circumstances that Hebei is changing at any time, the Dinghai Navy can no longer care about Zhongdu! For their own safety, they must ensure the control of the military states along the Caohe River. This is a real territory and a real benefit. , is more worthy of their troops than Zhongdu, where the Jurchen court is located!"

Speaking of this, Shiji suddenly bald and his face turned red, and he shouted: "Ding Haijun is going to retreat! They are going to run!"
