choke element

Ever since Zhang Hui rushed to Liushigang, he had not seen any trace of Pu San Anzhen, but he only cared about fighting and didn't pay attention to it.

When Pu San Anzhen led a large army southward to threaten Shandong, Ding Haijun regarded him as a general of the imperial court and an opponent; Concerned about the strength and position of the Hebei Meng'an Mouke Army, he did not want to create obstacles halfway.

But in today's battle, the Hebei Meng'an Muke Army, which Pu San Anzhen managed to pull together with great difficulty, first watched from the sidelines, and then inexplicably collapsed on its own.

This performance turned the last bit of Jurchen's struggle into a joke.As for Ding Haijun, no one will take Pu San An Zhen seriously any more.

What if the incompetent general who commanded the incompetent army died?How are you alive?

Zhang Hui's eyes were full of the movements of the Mongols, and he almost forgot that this piece of Shigang was originally the garrison of the Meng'an Mouk Army in Hebei.

But it never occurred to Zhao Jue to lead his troops to support him, and the first person to ask was the whereabouts of Pu San Anzhen.

Seeing Zhao Jue's serious attitude, Zhang Hui knew that it was probably Guo Ning's intention, so he didn't dare to neglect him immediately, and hurriedly sent his subordinates to assist in the search.

In a short time, Zhang Hui's subordinate Yang Zhongwen came back with a dozen or so Jurchens.A dozen people either had their teeth knocked out, or their faces were swollen like a pig's head.

Zhao Jue turned his head and glanced at Zhang Hui, who glared at Yang Zhongwen.

Yang Zhongwen is from Xianzhou, Hebei.A few years ago, the imperial court signed the army in Xianzhou, and the local Jurchen dignitaries colluded with the subordinate staff, and used the men under their rule to substitute for the Jurchen Meng'an Muke.Later, the number of soldiers continued to dry up, and all the fathers and brothers of the local farmers were sent to the army, and the only remaining children were forcibly conscripted, so that the local people were unable to farm, and many of them could not survive on their own.

Yang Zhongwen's old and weak family died of freezing and starvation, so he has never had a good word for the Jurchens.Before Zhao Jue boarded the rock, Zhang Hui saw him beating the captives with a stick and rolling them all over the ground.

Zhang Hui's family has a fierce temper, and most of his cronies and subordinates are also rough and brutal.However, Zhao Jue let go of his words, and Yang Zhongwen continued to behave like this, so the influence would not be very good.If this kind of thing fell into the ears of Guo Xuanshi, Zhang Hui would not be allowed to suffer.

Under Zhang Huilian's winking, Yang Zhongwen led these people all the way to Zhao Jue.He was careless, and even clasped his hands, reminding his knuckles: "These guys are all treacherous, they hit lightly, and there is no truth... Commander Zhao, I have asked them all, and they don't know what to do. Where is An Zhen!"

After Yang Zhongwen pointed, most of the captives knelt down obediently, and some barely stood,

Seeing that the captives were still covered in blood and scars, Zhang Hui said angrily, "Then you can't use a knife! These are ours, ahem, friendly army, the envoy said to treat each other with courtesy!"

"The knife wounds were left by the Mongols! I gave each of them two punches to tell them to behave!"

Yang Zhongwen was a little dissatisfied, and Zhang Hui slammed his helmet twice.

And Zhao Jue bent down and looked at the face of the first prisoner: "Commander Wanyan?"

When Guo Ning negotiated face-to-face with servant Anzhen, Zhao Jue was by his side.Corresponding to Zhao Jue is Pusan ​​Anzhen's guard commander Wanyan Weirong, Wanyan Weirong has always been famous for his bravery, and he and Heshi Lie Yawu Tower who died in Yidu were also captured by Pusan ​​Anzhen's men At that time, Zhao Jue was fully prepared to fight him, so he recognized him.

Looking at the next few people, Zhao Jue had met several of them on Tieling in Zizhou, and they were all civil and military confidantes of Pu San Anzhen.Yang Zhongwen's methods were rough, but in fact he handled things very well. In just a short moment, although he did not find out the whereabouts of Pu San Anzhen, he searched out all the people who might know the whereabouts of Pu San Anzhen in the rebellious army.

Wanyan Weirong was shirtless, with more than a dozen injuries on his muscular body and arms, his military robe was soaked in blood from the inside to the outside, and his face was a little dazed.

Zhao Jue asked someone to take a seat, pulled him to sit down, and asked politely: "Have you ever seen the envoy of Pu San?"

Wanyan Weirong didn't answer for a while.

Zhao Jue asked again, Wanyan Weirong suddenly raised his head, and scolded in a hissed voice: "You son of a bitch, our envoy sent troops to cover you going north in vain! But once you encounter the enemy, you turned your face and attacked us! You... ..."

Zhao Jue's face darkened slightly, and he glanced around.

Zhang Hui pulled Yang Zhongwen up and said, "Commander Zhao, let's go around and see if we can get anything. We will also keep an eye on the tracking personnel sent to the periphery."

"Okay, thank you both."

When Zhao Jue returned from the mound with a team of light cavalry, Ding Haijun was already re-camping.In the distant Liangxiang County, there were also lights flickering.

According to what the sentry cavalry saw, the Mongolian army retreated to the north, but they did not go far away. They are currently settling down in Anli Village, west of Guangli Bridge.

A few groups of sentry cavalry relied on Liaodong steeds under their crotches, and when they got close to have a look, they all said that the location was very close to the West Mountain.After dark, a northerly wind blew up, and the wind was so strong that it pressed down all the way along the mountains.But the Mongols did not build camps or yurts. Except for the most distinguished Khan and Nayans, the others wrapped their bodies in felt cloth, lay down among the gathered horses, and fell asleep directly.

This represents that the Mongolian army is in a state of high combat readiness.It seems that Genghis Khan has not been shaken by today's setback, and he will continue to entangle and fight with Ding Haijun.

Correspondingly, the Ding Navy strengthened the defenses of Liangxiang County and Liushigang Gaopo overnight.These two places form an angle with the headquarters. They not only have the advantage of being condescending, they can play a warning role and make it difficult for the enemy to attack by surprise; they can also be used as a foothold for mobile forces. and a strong counterattack from the rear.

In addition, today's battle has caused considerable casualties to the given navy, and the battle between horses and horses in the wilderness also consumed a lot of energy for the soldiers.Therefore, a solid camp must be built immediately, so that the wounded can be treated with peace of mind; when the battle tomorrow, if the troops are tired, they can leave the battlefield in time and return to the camp to recover their strength.

Zhao Jue walked halfway, and saw Guo Ning's military camp under the starry sky.The barracks are not big, but relying on the formation of vehicles, they are very well-organized, and the horizontal and vertical square barracks are connected together one by one.The regular soldiers had already had their meals, and there was loud snoring in the tents of each camp.On the outskirts of the camp, the lights of the lighting were connected together, reflecting the busy figures of Alixi who were cleaning their armor like worker bees.

On the edge of the range illuminated by the fire, groups of knights walked along the road between the camps, shouting military slogans from time to time.

Such precautions are necessary.

Because in the depths of the wilderness far away, there are firefly-like light spots dancing and flickering.It was the Mongolian army and Dinghai sentry cavalry chasing in the wilderness.The movement of the light spot is the cavalry galloping in circles, and the sound of bowstrings can even be heard in the night wind.

The sentry cavalry fight each other, usually one-on-one, at most the scale of three or five cavalry battles.Once the winner is decided, life and death will be decided at the same time, neither side will hesitate.

Many of Dinghai's sentry cavalry were trained by Zhao Jue.But to be honest, when it comes to riding and archery skills, Qi Xuejun can easily make a Batuer, and he will not be inferior to the famous generals in the Ding Navy.

During the day, the army fights, and the cavalry has the army to rely on and the infantry to cooperate, so that's all.Fighting at night relies on riding and shooting skills and luck, and it is inevitable that the sentry cavalry will suffer.Zhao Jue reckoned that it was inevitable that a dozen or 20 people would be killed or injured in one night.

Two years ago, the deaths and injuries of a dozen or 20 people represented the collapse of a certain army that Zhao Jue belonged to.But now, when the Ding Haijun and the Mongolian Army are facing each other with more than [-] main forces, Zhao Jue cannot be distracted by this casualty.

Zhao Jue kept urging his horse, reporting his password along the way, and went straight to the central army.

"Xuanshi, we have searched everywhere, but there is no trace of Pusan ​​Anzhen. According to the number of corpses on the battlefield checked on the side of Lishigang, it is speculated that after the Mongolian army attacked Shanglishigang, the casualties were not large, but they quickly took the initiative. Back off. We estimate that Pusan ​​Anzhen may have fallen into the hands of the Mongols."
