Chapter 98 The Battle

"Then... is that the Mongolian army!" Wanyan Congjia murmured.

"Exactly." It was also the first time Yila Chucai saw the power of the Mongolian army marching and fighting.

His face was equally ugly, but he still hadn't forgotten his own responsibility, so he explained: "We learned earlier that the Mongolian army had broken through Yanshan Mountain and went south to Hebei, and the attack was extremely fast. His Royal Highness King Ruosheng and Marshal Pucha's soldiers and horses Together, we will definitely encounter the Mongolian army... That's why we took the liberty to invite His Highness to join our army and take refuge deep in the pond."

This is of course nonsense, but for the sake of the future situation in the central capital, Yicha Chucai had to cover up Guo Ning's violent behavior a little bit and put on some makeup.

He said a few words, but seeing that Wanyan Congjia was in a state of despair, he didn't listen at all, so he could only wink to the soldiers guarding left and right, and asked them to help Wanyan Congjia down, and hurried to the back of the high slope.

Wanyan Congjia really lost his composure.

He is a person who is determined to bring chaos back and reorganize the Dajin world. Earlier in Xiangzhou, he heard that the imperial court had lost many battles with Mongolia, so he asked many soldiers who had combat experience in northern Xinjiang to hear their views on the Mongolian army.

Someone told Wanyan Congjia that the Mongols were brave and tough in battle, but they lacked sophisticated weapons and armor.It is also said that the Mongols were limited by the size of the tribe, and the mobilization of troops on the battlefield lacked rules.

Therefore, when fighting Mongolia in the wild, you must rely on strong bows and crossbows, thick armor and strong formations.As long as one's own side is not chaotic and withstands the offensive of the Mongolian army, it can try to maintain an undefeated situation.

Wanyan Congjia was deeply convinced.

So he thought that after he came to the throne, he would rectify the elite, reward the warriors generously, improve the army's equipment at any cost, restore the army's combat effectiveness, and then rely on its superiority in military strength and the great passes along the Yanshan Mountain to fight the Mongols. Tough battle, fight a war of attrition.

But when he saw the power of the Mongolian army at this time, he knew that he was wrong!

The Mongols are not the grassland tribes they imagined, they are real power!The prosperity of Mongolia at this moment is just like that of the beginning of Dajin.Their armies are getting better, scarier, and stronger every moment.The army in front of him is already invincible... At least, Wanyan Congjia can't imagine how to defeat it!
Pusha Ali is over!His five thousand horsemen are like paper in front of such an enemy, they are nothing!

And in the territory of the Great Jin Kingdom, what kind of power can resist it?
No!At least, Wanyan Congjia couldn't think of it.

The power of the Mongolian army's actions exceeded the limit of his imagination. He was panting heavily, relying on the support of the soldiers to force himself not to fall.

Guo Ning and the others watched the pale-faced nobleman stagger to the back of Gao Po.

He and his subordinates looked at each other with a bit of contempt, but they could also understand.

In the past few years, Guo Ning and others have fought countless times with the Mongolian army along the Jiehao Great Wall, and there were several victories at the beginning.But later, as the Mongolian army became stronger and stronger, its scale continued to expand and its equipment became more sophisticated; the battles Guo Ning and others participated in became a process of accumulating small defeats into major defeats, and finally a complete defeat.

Therefore, Guo Ning and others understand the horror of the Mongolian army better than those nobles who sit behind and read the battle report.They are also the people who are most familiar with Mongolian warfare in the Kingdom of Jin.

What the Mongolian army is good at is relying on the advantages of cavalry, running long distances, constantly looking for the enemy's flanks and weak points, and attacking violently.And any golden army, once it falls into the sight of the Mongolian army in the wild, it will be brought into the pursuit range of the wolves like prey.

Guo Ning didn't think that he had the ability to fight the Mongolian army on the battlefield.

Even if the more than [-] soldiers in the Feijunhe camp lost their lives, they could not be the opponents of the Mongolian army.Therefore, once he heard that the Mongolian army had entered Hebei, the only thought in his mind was to try to avoid head-to-head battles, and it was best to avoid battles.

There is nothing to discuss about this, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Everyone in the Feijun River camp had the same idea.In the past few years, countless loyal and brave soldiers died in the fierce battle of the Mongols, and the rest who were able to escape to Hebei were all smart people.

So, how can we not be brought into the sight of the Mongolian army and become a sad prey?
Guo Ning once saw with his own eyes that rabbits on the grassland are very good at digging holes. No matter how deep the holes can be, once the hungry wolves sweep by, they will inevitably be dug out to eat.

Unless the wolves are in sight, there are not only rabbits, but also larger and fatter prey such as gazelle, roe, and deer.

At this moment, if Guo Ning's troops were rabbits, then Pucha Ali's troops, who rushed to Pingluzhai for a long distance, rode five thousand horses, and they were undoubtedly fat yellow sheep.

They were eager to rescue Wanyan Congjia, so they followed Guo Ning's troops and headed north quickly, without even having time to dispatch scouts, so they naturally sent themselves within Genghis Khan's sight range.

When the wolves put their heart and soul into hunting deer, they probably don't mind the little rabbit fleeing.The rabbit can seize the opportunity and hide in the grass.

Guo Ning's subordinates moved very quickly. Before the Mongolian army and the Jin army appeared, they had already crossed the high slopes and walked away from the battlefield along the river beach and narrow road between the wetlands and swamps behind.

The distance between the Mongolian Army and the Golden Army is getting closer and closer, and the queues of the two sides are constantly adjusting during the full-speed gallop.

When the two sides approached the range of bows and arrows, the forwards of the Mongolian army, thousands of cavalry, shot the arrows first.

Riding on galloping horses, they did not slow down at all, but only raised the tip of their bows to the sky, causing the arrows they shot to fall into the golden army's formation in an arc.

In an instant, there were so many arrows flying into the air, it was like flocks of birds flying densely on the grassland and lakes in spring, almost covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Countless tough arrow shafts tore through the air at the same time, and the sound they made was like the howling of a huge flock of birds; and when the arrows fell, the sound of the clusters of arrows penetrating the human body and hitting the armor and shield was like raindrops falling to the ground, causing an uproar. rest.

The cavalry of the Golden Army turned their backs on their backs.

A small number of experts who were able to gallop and shoot quickly returned shots, but the arrows they shot traveled dozens of hundreds of steps and fell on the ground one after another, without any results.

It turned out that the forward knights of the Mongolian army immediately reined in their horses and ran horizontally after firing a round of arrows.

Their riding skills were so good, and their reactions were so sharp, they easily avoided the arrows of the Jin army.

In the next moment, while they were galloping, they continued to shoot their bows and arrows, and poured a second round of arrow rain into the right flank of the Jin army.

Another crowd turned on their backs!
"Pucha Ali is no match at all," Li Ting said.

Han Xuan also sighed: "The strength is clear, they are finished."

At this time, the tall grass below the high slope shook, and the hooves sounded loudly.Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads to see, it turned out that the knights such as Rui Lin and Chen Ran who were sent by Guo Ning to the north to fight against the Mongolian army Aljinchi had just returned.

The number of people who came back was less than half of the number when they set out, all of them were covered with blood, several people lost their helmets, and their hair was disheveled.They also had wounds of varying degrees of severity. Some had several arrows stuck in their bodies, and it was too late to pull them out.

The purpose of this cavalry attack is to attract the attention of the Mongolian army.Turning back at this time, all the generals were in awe.

Guo Ning nodded to them and said briefly: "We still have to march, please persevere!"

Rui Lin and Chen Ran also went behind Gao Po.

Guo Ning continued to stare at the battle situation on the plain.

The brigade of the Mongolian army is still slowly approaching.The sound of tens of thousands of cavalry roaring and stepping on the ground, like a trembling mountain, stirred up smoke and dust in the sky, which drifted away with the wind.Even if Guo Ning and others were on a high slope, the smell of dust was almost suffocating.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the vanguard of the Mongolian army suddenly circled to the left flank of the Golden Army cavalry and fired a third round of arrows.

The Golden Army cavalry arrived day and night from Northeast Hebei Road, originally to replace the bandits along the road from Jiapao for Wanyan, they didn't come to participate in the battle!But they were eager to catch up with Wanyan Congjia, but encountered a strong enemy halfway, and their morale was bound to be low or even panic.

What's more, the strength of the enemy in front of them has never been seen since ancient times.Thousands of Mongolian cavalry were running, but they moved their arms and fingers like a person, changing their advances and retreats, appearing and disappearing.

In contrast, the clumsy dispatch of the Golden Army cavalry was simply appalling.They tried to intercept the Mongolian cavalry several times, but they couldn't keep up.On the contrary, the cavalry who were sent to intercept were easily shot down by arrows.The man and the horse kept whining and fell to the ground, as if large chunks of flesh and blood were being stripped from their arms by the whip.

The Mongolian army's brigade hadn't entered the battlefield yet, but the forward troops launched a sprint and fired three rounds of arrows, and the Jin army was obviously shaken!
"Who is leading the army? Zhe Le Mie? Jebe? Su Bu Tai? Or Ku Bi Lai?" Someone looked at it for a while and asked casually.

Han Xuan carefully distinguished, thought for a while, and said, "If Jebe led the army, he would shoot two rounds of arrows when he circled to the rear. If it was Subutai, he would have rushed into the enemy's formation by now. I guess, he came here. Either Jelemi or Kublai."

When the Mongolian army appeared on the battlefield, one of these four people was usually responsible for leading the vanguard of the entire army.

How ferocious these four people are, everyone present has seen it before, and they can even tell the difference between each of them leading the army in battle.And no matter who is in command, it is not Pucha Ali who can withstand it.

Everyone still clearly remembers how the Mongols praised these warriors:
Their foreheads are like cast copper, their mouths are like chisels, their tongues are like awls, and they have hearts like iron. They ride on the wind!They use ring knives as whips, drink blood, and use human flesh as dry food!
Pucha Ali's troops are definitely not opponents, they are about to collapse immediately!
Li Ting suddenly became irritable.

It suddenly occurred to him that his family was once an officer of the imperial court, and the knights of the Golden Army who were bound to be slaughtered and trampled into blood and mud before him should have been his comrades.

"Let's go quickly! These are people with knife heads, what's there to see!" He yelled bitterly, and left with a whip.

Guo Ning sighed softly, and turned his horse around together.All the generals followed.

A few miles to the northwest of Guo Ning and others, Genghis Khan, surrounded by many Mongolian troops Nayan and Qianhu, watched the battle from afar.Not long after entering Hebei, he captured such an elite Jurchen cavalry, which made him very happy.

Thinking of the capture after the victory, at least ten thousand households could be enriched, he smiled slightly.

According to rumors, the number of Jurchen troops is ten times that of the Mongols, and their population is a hundred times that of the Mongols.Even after winning two consecutive victories, many Mongols still believe that the Kingdom of Jin is a powerful country, and the blood they shed is not enough to cause weakness.

But now it seems that the decline of the Jurchens is faster than expected, and their weakness is deeper than expected!

Obviously, most of the Jurchen elite fighters had already died in the first two defeats.The remaining Jurchens are all weaklings.They couldn't wield the long sword left by their ancestors, and they forgot the ability to fight on horseback that they used to be good at.

The stupid fighting methods of these vulnerable cavalrymen in front of them are proof.

Very good, in this way, we can boldly attack the cities of the Kingdom of Jin with confidence.The prosperity and wealth accumulated by the Jurchens from generation to generation will belong to the Mongols.

We can slaughter all the men, women, and children in the city one by one, rob them of their food, supplies, and property, and finally turn those cities into rubble, set fire to the tall buildings and collapse them, and let the lush weeds grow in them.

What a joy it is!
Of course, the necessary vigilance cannot be relaxed slightly.

A warrior on the grassland will never forget the horse on the trough even if he sleeps soundly, and will never neglect to guard against the wolf around him even if nothing happens.

Genghis Khan looked to the distance on the left side of the battlefield.He remembered that on the high ground in that direction, there was originally an independent, small-scale Jin army entrenched.But now, suddenly he can't see it?
