Chapter 544 Tenacity

When the Alejinchi were running at high speed, the team dragged on for a long time, and now they gathered in front of the Ding navy array like a black cloud.Their horses were panting and steaming from the long gallop, and the riders on the horses seemed quiet instead.

The leader looked around, and most of his subordinates looked dazed.

A'erhai Hesar, who sent orders to various ministries on behalf of Genghis Khan, rushed over from the rear and asked, "How is the enemy army? Can we attack?"

The leader of Aljinchi was short and stocky with a dark face, which made it difficult for others to see his expression.After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Khan is right, this is not an ordinary Jin army, it is the most difficult one to deal with!"

"Oh? How difficult is it to deal with?"

"...Like the small army on the Wild Fox Ridge! No, they are stronger than the small army!"

"How is it possible?" Ah'er Hai Hesar subconsciously yelled.

The leader of Aljinchi was about to explain, but A'erhai Hesa'er thought of the importance Genghis Khan attached to this enemy, and nodded again: "They defeated the fourth prince Tuolei and killed General Zhe Other armies! Not easy to deal with."

Quite different from ordinary people's imagination, the soldiers of the Mongolian army are very familiar with the fighting methods of the Jin army.

Since the beginning of the Sejong Dynasty, the Dajin Kingdom has actively responded to the Mongolian grassland tribes that constantly harass the interior. The strategy adopted is to instigate vendettas and take the initiative to attack and exterminate them simultaneously.At that time, the still strong Jin army sent troops to the north every three years to suppress and kill them. It was extremely poor. Wherever they went, all adult men were killed, and all women and children were plundered into the Central Plains.

In the years when the military operations were going well, many wealthy families in Shandong and Hebei bought Tatars as small slaves, and the source of them was all obtained from the killing and looting of the grasslands by the imperial army.

This kind of victory greatly enhanced the prestige of the Jin Kingdom, but it also forcibly cultivated a group of Mongolian warriors who were accustomed to seeing the Jin army fighting.

In the impression of the Mongols, whenever the Jin army encountered an enemy, it must form a circle as the front, and then use the cavalry as the two wings.The size of the circular formations does not matter, and when the force is huge, multiple circular formations are connected to each other to form a long formation layered on top of each other; while the cavalry waits for opportunities to launch outflanking and continuous assaults.These cavalry are equipped with heavy armor, armed with broadswords and spears in front of the elite, known as the hard army, breaking the front and breaking the formation, without any disadvantage.

Back then, the Jin army repeatedly used troops on the grasslands, and even Genghis Khan was once impressed by his military prestige, and assumed the post of "Jawudikuli" bestowed by the imperial court, that is, the post of commander of the army.

However, with the decline of Jin's internal affairs, the Jin army was completely deserted in just 20 years.Their tactics depend on rigorous training, perseverance, and command from top to bottom.If these things exist, the Golden Army will always be a strong soldier who can fight for a hundred rounds at every turn, advancing repeatedly; once these things are missing, the Golden Army's formation can certainly be arranged like mountains and seas, but in fact it will collapse at the touch of a button.

By the time of the Battle of Yehuling, most of the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were like this, and only a very small number of Jin troops could maintain the combat effectiveness of the year.

This kind of troops does not exceed one percent of the hundreds of thousands of troops, and some of them are the guards who were specially assigned by the emperor of the Jin Kingdom to the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army, Wanyan Chengyu, and urgently dispatched to Yehuling to help in the battle. Fine Army".

They lined up with infantry, and rode back and forth to charge and kill.Under the repeated outflanking and ring attack of several times the Mongolian army, its queue remained motionless like a rock, which made the Mongols pay a heavy price and became frustrated.In the end, the right-wing Wanhu Muhuali went into battle in person and charged desperately. Only then did the Mongolian army forcefully break through the enemy's formation and wiped out the elite Jin army.

After the battle at Yehuling, the Jin army's spine was broken, and their hearts collapsed like mud, so there was nothing to worry about anymore.Since then, every time they fought against the Mongolian army, they predicted that their side would definitely fail before the battle, and the whole army fled if there was a slight disadvantage. Everyone just wanted to escape faster than their companions.

This situation was repeated time and time again, and the fierceness of the Mongols became more and more terrifying in the spread of the Jin army's defeated soldiers, so the subsequent battles of the Mongolian army became more and more relaxed and seemed more and more devastating.During the three-way gold cutting the year before last, A'erhai Hesar never saw the Jin army capable of fighting tough battles again. For half a year, he and his troops experienced nothing but massacres and battles other than marching. loot.

This kind of overly easy tossing and turning even made A'erhai Hesa'er a little tired, feeling that his courage and talent could not be fully utilized at all.

However, Ding Haijun in front of him must be a good opponent.

In the eyes of the Aljinchi, this navy is stronger than the small army on the Yehu Ridge... It is indeed the army that Genghis Khan regarded as the enemy!
Since the last time the Mongolian army went south to cut gold, all the failures of the Mongolian army were caused by the Ding navy.

When the fourth prince Tuo Lei was defeated in the first battle, many Mongolian Nayans secretly asked whether this child of Genghis Khan put all his energy into pleasing the Great Khan, but forgot the duty of a Mongolian warrior.As a result, even the red horse son-in-law and others were despised.

Later, Chen Nayan suffered a great loss in Liaodong, and this kind of ridicule was much less, because Chen Nayan was the father of Chiju's son-in-law, the chief of the Hongjira tribe, and also the wife of Genghis Khan, Bortewu. Really brother.He has followed Genghis Khan in his conquests over the years, and his subordinates are all elites, and he is recognized by all ministries as the main force of the Mongolian army.According to Chen Nayan's four thousand households, they were easily defeated by Guo Ning in Liaodong, and more than half of them were killed or injured. In this way, who would dare to underestimate the navy?

Thinking of Zhebe's death in battle not long ago... A'erha Hesa'er stared at the opposite army formation, his expression gradually became solemn.

The smoke and dust aroused by the Aljinchi when they galloped around the formation were slowly falling, making the complete form of the army formation seem to be revealed from the clouds.

Alhay Khasar's battlefield experience is very rich, but it is also the first time he has seen such an army at close range.Facing the harassment from the Mongolian Qingqi, the officers and men of the Dinghai Navy did nothing but stood quietly, maintaining the stability of the formation.This kind of stability is full of contempt, and in the eyes of A'erha Khasar, it is like a mountain that cannot be shaken.

"This is a strong enemy, indeed a strong enemy!"

A'erhaha Sa'er felt his blood start to boil, and he felt that the beast-like instinct in his body that hadn't functioned for a long time was ecstatic.Such an enemy army cannot be shaken by one or two nuisances. I am afraid that multiple echelons of cavalry will take turns to go into battle and carry out ten or more arrow harassments to gradually induce chaos in their ranks.

He said to himself: "It's going to be a tough battle!"

Just as he turned his horse around and was about to report to Genghis Khan, the high-pitched horns sounded from behind the Mongolian cavalry, and a larger cavalry team, including at least [-] Huoerchi, and the same number of armored cavalry dispatched up.They spread out the boundless queue and began to speed up, passing the Aljinchi who were standing in front of the Ding navy array.

This time the momentum of the cavalry galloping was ten times stronger than last time.Thousands of horses are galloping, as if the black tide is rushing out of the deep sea, about to destroy everything in front of you.

However, in the Dinghai formation, the generals and school surrounded by Guo Ning stared at the approaching cavalry, and no one said a word.Among the awe-inspiring army formation, only a few horses in the cavalry ranks slightly behind, Herod neighed suddenly.Fortunately, the knight continued to comfort him, and the horse quickly calmed down.

There were also a few consultants who were former scholars who exchanged glances with each other, seeming a little nervous.Wang Shixian, who rode his horse and stood next to Guo Ning, noticed the faces of these young people, so he laughed and said to them: "It's okay, the Mongols are just like this."

It has been ten years since Wang Shixian was signed to northern Xinjiang. In the ten years, he and the Mongols fought countless times.In the Ding Navy, there are a large number of soldiers with the background of the northern Xinjiang rout, and many of them have more experience in fighting the Mongols than Wang Shixian.They are also very familiar with the tactics of the Mongols.

At the front of the formation more than 120 steps away from Guo Ning, Qiu Huiluo's deputy, Zhang Xin, who was in charge of the march, also sneered and said: "The Mongolian army still uses the same old style of warfare. The second wave of cavalry is coming, and they are going to use bows and arrows. Big guys Don't panic, listen to my orders!"

He coughed lightly, spit thick phlegm on the ground, and held an iron shield tighter in his hand.
