choke element

"Record one class of merit, it's all right to be promoted to a higher level, and an extra fifty acres of land will be given? Not bad?"

When this military order was issued, some soldiers who had just joined the army were very excited, while most of the soldiers laughed.Such a meager reward may not be as good as the achievements of beheading generals and flags in previous battles.It is obvious that envoy Guo Xuan is showing the whole army his confidence to win.

The person coming across is the Mongolian Khan.This Great Khan, in the past few years, has commanded a group of wolves like tigers, killing the blood of the people in the Dajin Kingdom, and turning thousands of miles of rivers and mountains into Shura Hell. This is also true.

Since the rise of the Ding Navy, it has defeated many powerful enemies.On the battlefield, only the sword speaks. Wouldn't any general go up and kill him with a single blow?Now our own army is strong and brave, and the elite Mongolian Khan also has one head, two arms and two legs, so he may not have an extra life than ordinary people!
After a burst of laughter, followed by an exclamation.

They saw Dong Jin fleeing quickly with a small group of cavalry.And the Mongols' pursuers had more than a hundred horsemen, and they were expanding along the two wings, like a giant hand trying to crush Dong Jin and others in the palm of their hands.

Because Ding Haijun was disguised as a supply team going north, and the soldiers and horses accompanying the team were obviously only the five hundred elite cavalry led by Zhao Jue.These 500 people should not only protect the safety of food and fodder, but also take on the responsibility of sentry and patrol.

In the worst case, if you encounter an enemy suddenly, it will not be so fast for tens of thousands of militiamen to enter the state of preparation for war.These elite cavalry also need to do their best to entangle the enemy and buy time for the large army.

Dong Jin's subordinates warned in time, and they tried their best to do their best on the sentry and patrol, but it is impossible to even think about entanglement with the enemy.The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. After Dong Jin and others sounded the alarm, they had no choice but to flee.

The weather was still cool at this time, but Dong Jin and the others rode their horses and galloped wildly, feeling that the air around them seemed to freeze, delaying their own way forward.

After pushing the horses with all their strength and galloping for more than ten miles, the knights' robes were tightly attached to their bodies, sticking together with sweat and skin.The sweat on their bodies was rushing, soaking the clothes quickly, and then dripping down the clothes, mixing with the hot sweat from the horses, and swaying with the ups and downs of the horses.

In this direction, Dinghai's scouts were distributed in groups of five, and the farthest group reached the Guangli Bridge on the Lugou River.It was also this group of cavalry who discovered the traces of the Mongols surging from the mountains to the north.They immediately sent a warning message, and at the same time drove away.

There were so many Mongolian cavalrymen that they had to slow down a little when they passed the Guangli Bridge, leaving a little possibility for the scouts to escape.But a large number of Aljinchi galloped out of the queue immediately, chasing after him.

These cavalry are members of the Qixue Army, and all of them are outstanding riders.When they are galloping, the ups and downs of their bodies have a unique rhythm, as if they are integrated with the horses.Their control over the physical strength and running speed of the horses is even more wonderful.

Over the past few years, wherever they went, they would inevitably bring slaughter and bloodshed. The enemies they pursued could only cry and cry, and finally had nowhere to escape, and died in fields, woodlands, ravines, roadsides, or wherever they found.

At this time, they crossed the barren fields and roads, kept chasing, and then shot precise arrows with horn bows, and hacked Dinghai's scouts behind the queue with machetes.

In just a few miles, Dinghai's scout cavalry gathered three companions from different directions.Among them, including Dong Jin, they were all elite fighters out of ten, but the Mongols were extremely fierce, and half of the knights were killed and injured in the process of fleeing.

There was also a sentry cavalry of the Hebei Meng'an Mouke Army who was also involved.

These Jurchens were all recruited by Pu San Anzhen last year, and they all nominally came from Zhenfang Qianhu in Hebei, but in terms of real military experience, they are far inferior to Ding Navy officers and soldiers.What's more, they also lacked enough vigilance. When the sentry was protruding out, they used leather straps or ropes to firmly tie the packages containing armor and military equipment, food, water bags, etc. to the horse's back.

In this way, it is convenient when marching, but once attacked, there is no way to dismantle the rope and discard the heavy package.For this kind of short-distance pursuit, the speed of each ride must be kept at the fastest speed, and the extra little weight will kill them immediately.

Relying on the cover of the Jurchen, Dong Jin and others ran all the way to Liangxiang.

Dong Jin considered breaking into Liushigang directly, and first asked his servant San Anzhen to support the Mongols.However, the terrain to the east of Lishigang is a little low, and the grass grows as high as half a person, and the terrain is undulating. It is too risky to ride a horse in such terrain, and once it falls, it will be a dead end.

Dong Jin and the others had no choice but to bypass Liushigang, hoping that the Mongolian masters would look up at the five-color flags unique to the Jurchens on the mound, and look for their bad luck first.But never thought, not to mention those Aljinchi who completely ignored the Jurchens, even the Mongolian army behind them, like a dark cloud covering the ground, bypassed the high ground without hesitation and rushed straight towards the direction of Dinghai!
Dong Jin kept yelling and cursing, but at this moment, people shouted and horses neighed suddenly, and two teams of Mongolian cavalry surrounded them from left and right.All the horned bows in their hands were stringed, and there were still dozens of steps away, the sound of the bowstring flicked continuously, and several arrows immediately flew towards Dong Jin and the others.

The tenacious ram's horn bow is paired with a heavy snake bone arrow, and its power is extremely terrifying, almost comparable to the strong bow used by Step Down.Hearing a muffled grunt, a companion behind Dong Jin was shot in the back. The broad arrow pierced through the military uniform in an instant, then tore apart the flesh and bones, and finally protruded through the front chest.

Blood gushed out from the front and rear wounds. At first the companion insisted on riding the horse, but within two or three blinks, he lost his strength and fell off the horse like a bag of rice.With one leg still hanging from the stirrup, his body was dragged violently, and after being hit by stones and bushes a few times, his limbs and torso were all shattered into disfigurement.

The dead knight was a prestigious Priyan, and the other scouts were enraged when they saw his tragic death, and they took their bows and shot back.

"Fool! Don't shoot at this time! Hurry up and go!"

Dong Jin cursed repeatedly.

The subordinates were sobered up by Dong Jin's scolding, they quickly put away their bows and arrows, and continued to ride their horses with their waists bent.But at the moment when they slowed down a little, two more people were shot in the shoulders and backs.

Fortunately, it is not far from Dinghai's array!
They didn't care about the blood and water splashing when the arrow feathers shook, and they still beat the horse desperately.Finally, he threw away the pursuers, and rushed into Ding Haijun's neat queue before they approached again.And the queue also separated to the two sides at this moment, flashing a passage for the sentry cavalry to run around.

The moment Dong Sheng and the others urged their horses into the battle, the sword and shield hands on the left and right sides moved sideways to fill the gap again.They paused on the ground holding their shields, and after a bang, the passage in the array disappeared, and the backs of Qingqi were also blocked by flags and figures.Only the shield array is densely layered, like a copper wall and an iron wall, connecting with the steel jungle behind.

However, the Mongolian Qingqi's movements did not stop because of the disappearance of the pursuit target.

Hundreds of light cavalry still marched straight forward.The Mongols shook their braided hair on both sides of their heads, yelled wildly, and waved weapons such as knives, hook guns, or hammers, forming a terrifying momentum.They didn't pay attention to the continuous queue in front of them. According to past experience, most of the Jin army would flee in panic after a full-fledged charge, and the Mongolian knights just stepped in.

The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred steps, and the Mongolian cavalry galloped on their horses, and they covered half the distance in a blink of an eye.

But the golden army in front of him was different from usual.Facing the rushing enemy cavalry, their queue did not waver at all.Not only did the shields in the front row not move, but also the steel forest formed by the spearmen holding their weapons high in the rear did not move either!

This peaceful and unmoving posture seems to be very inscrutable.

A Mongolian Batuer who led Aljinchi sneered.This golden army is nothing more than more substantial training and more experience.But they will never be the opponents of the Mongolian warriors!He had already defeated such an infantry formation countless times. To disturb their formation and shake their morale...it was very simple!
Under the command of the leader, the cavalry suddenly circled, the speed of the horses hardly dropped, but the direction of action turned to the right, galloping horizontally in front of the army formation.

The Mongolian knights still shouted and whistled, as if they were provocative, and they were extremely flamboyant. Some riders and archers simply stood on the saddle, opened their bows and set up arrows, and shot several arrows into the Dinghai queue.

Of course, this is just acting.The other Mongolian knights stared intently at the enemy, trying to find signs of panic.As long as they see a little panic or hesitation, they will remember this position, and then at the most favorable time, they will attack the enemy in this position in turn.

But they saw no sign of it.

In the huge army formation, he was always solemn and calm.Under the cover of the flag, no panicked people can be seen in every team horizontally and every column vertically.

It's not normal!

The more uniform the army formation, the more conspicuous the panic of certain soldiers was.Therefore, in some armies, experienced veterans will deliberately clamor for some actions to cover up the panic of the new recruits.But this army formation is too neat and stable, as if everyone's military spirit is condensed, like an unshakable mountain.

This navy is really different from the ordinary gold army!Sure enough, it is worthy of being a powerful enemy that every sweat should pay attention to!
"Continue, let's go to the left and go around to the flank of the Jin army!" Batu'er shouted loudly.

When hundreds of Al Jinchi responded, they roared like thunder, and thousands of hoofs flew flying.In a blink of an eye, they went from the front of Dinghailing to the left, then circled the rear, and turned to the right, making a full circle.

The horse galloped for a while, and a whole circle of smoke and dust fell slowly, and there was no fight along the way.The first few centurions who returned to the original place looked at each other, speechless for a while.The arrogance in the eyes of several people faded away, replaced by surprise or awe.

The soldiers and horses dispatched by Dinghai this time are mainly infantry, and the formation of infantry is much tighter than that of cavalry, so even if it is a large formation of [-] people, it does not occupy a lot of space.So the Mongols can see clearly that this army formation is composed of multiple large and small square formations.The phalanxes are nested and related to each other, lying on the grassland.Except for the sound of bugles and drums, and the swaying of the phalanx's flags, all the people, even their gleaming helmets and weapons, remained unmoved.

No matter which direction the Mongolian cavalry galloped to, no matter how close or far they approached, detoured, threatened or lured the enemy, they could not shake the steadfast posture of the sailors at all.
