Chapter 567 The Devious Way

The coldness of spring has not faded, although the round tent is filled with felts, blankets and silk pillows, it is still a bit cold.

Until then, the flame in the firepit was leaping, driving away all the cold air, and the pot of mutton soup on the flame finally boiled, making a gurgling sound, and steam came out.

"Yes, yes! That's it!"

Losing good luck, balding, and feeling hot all over, he couldn't even wear a yellow sheepskin robe: "Since the last coup in Zhongdu, the Kingdom of Jin has actually been torn apart. The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin arched his head as a shield. The Jiedu envoy that Guo Ning served in Shandong at first was obtained by intimidating the emperor during the last coup in Zhongdu. Later, he ran amok in Shandong, and it is said that he killed several nobles of the Kingdom of Jin because of trivial matters. , the emperor can't help it!"

Genghis Khan nodded.

"Those Jurchen officials on Beijing Road, in their words, regard Guo Ning as a traitor! Dahan, do you think that Guo Ning would really work for the Kingdom of Jin? We caught Pu San Anzhen, and naturally It is useful for us; but Guo Ning can only think that this large piece of land in Hebei has become a piece of fat without an owner! In front of this piece of fat, what is Zhongdu? What is the court of the Kingdom of Jin?”

When Shiji Hutuhu said this, he couldn't help being overjoyed.He tore off his robe, revealing his hairy chest, and raised his voice: "Guo Ning will not stay in Zhongdu anymore. He is anxious to go back to control Hebei, wants to retreat, and is afraid of being chased by us. So he pretended to be A large group of reinforcements arrived, using this news to confuse us, and let us turn our attention to dispatching successors in the past few days to prepare for a decisive battle... In fact, he dispatched light cavalry to cover the surrounding area of ​​the camp in order to conceal the presence of the navy. They are going to run away! Moreover, they may have already set off now!"

"Where are they going?"

"Run where you come from!"

Shiji suddenly bald and straightened his back, talking eloquently.

Mongolia has no written language, and is as illiterate as the vast majority of Mongolians.But as a judge, he had to rely on his brain to memorize countless things on weekdays.On the battlefield, he is also thoughtful and precise, not like the rough style of ordinary Mongolians.In order to fight against Dinghai, he really worked hard to analyze the battlefield situation, and specially kept several Khitan and Han companions by his side for consultation.

"When the enemy army came, they walked along the west side of the Lugou River, from the Yijin Pass in Bazhou, through Yongqing and Gu'an. When they ran, they must be like this. First, there is a large area between Zhongdu and Hebei. The wilderness is the best place for cavalry to gallop. They have to rely on the Lugou River as a cover on the side of the marching route. Second, through the Lugou River, they may be able to communicate with the defenders of Zhigu Village and echo each other. Thirdly, Yijin Pass is the key point where many rivers in Hebei flow into Zhongdu Road. It is the stronghold managed by Pu San Anzhen painstakingly. A huge mess!"

Genghis Khan nodded again.

Shiji Hutuhu clenched his fists: "So, the target of their retreat will only be Yijin Pass!"

"and then?"

"Khan, the tactics of the Jin people have always been dull. No matter how elite the navy is, what they follow is nothing more than arranging soldiers as a solid formation and using iron cavalry to attack at short distances. But this method, when they march No way out! Now that we have determined their retreat route, we will pursue them, harass them along the way, tire them out, outflank and intimidate them repeatedly! Finally, kill them easily!"

Genghis Khan continued to nod, but stopped talking.

Unlucky, suddenly bald, and wait with bated breath.

The Jurchens and Mongols have been hostile to each other for many years.In the early years when the Jurchens were strong, they often fought against the Mongols, and this situation often occurred.On the vast sea-like grassland, the side that relies on infantry is really at a disadvantage.

Although the Jurchens used to be fierce and fierce, they won every time they fought head-on with the Mongols, but they couldn't take the initiative to attack, and they just waited for the Mongolian cavalry to attack every time.As a result, even if the Mongols were beaten away, they could not pursue them.

After repeating this several times, the Jurchens were unable to provide food and fodder, or because of climate change, or because of the request of the Jurchens court in the rear, they had to withdraw their troops.On the way to retreat, no matter how elite the soldiers are, it is inevitable that they will be loose, tired, and careless. At this time, it is the turn of the Mongolian cavalry to show off their power.

The same is true for Ding Haijun in front of him.

Like the Jurchen elite back then, they fought head-on with the Mongolian cavalry without losing the wind.But as long as the Ding Navy is still an army of the Central Plains and is based on infantry, this disadvantage will be inevitable; as long as they can march forward and retreat, they will inevitably be chased by the Mongolian cavalry like a pack of wolves, and sooner or later they will suffer a big loss!

The ridiculous thing is that it was originally thought that the two sides would at least fight face to face for a few rounds.Who knows how such a coincidence can happen, how can my bad luck and baldness be so good?
I captured Pu San Anzhen alive in the first battle, and then I was forced to retreat the navy!

Most of the people under Guo Ning's tent were Han Chinese, and they were not on the same side as the Jurchens. Seeing that there were benefits to be gained from the direction of Hebei, they naturally gave up the rescue of Zhongdu.But this stupid move that only cares about immediate interests will cost them all their lives!

That Guo Ning is not a fool, he knows to use a trick to deceive the Mongolian soldiers.However, Mongols are the best hunters, they will never be deceived by their prey!What's more, there is the wise Genghis Khan here. In front of Genghis Khan, what is this clumsy strategy?
Their ideas have now been completely debunked.When fighting with the Mongolian army, he was actually distracted and considered other things. This is courting death.

From now on, the 170-mile journey from here to Yijin Pass in Bazhou is a dead end for Ding Haijun!That man named Guo Ning, the culprit who caused so many failures in the Mongolian Kingdom, will definitely die on this road!
This result is enough to cover up the casualties of yesterday's fierce battle, and even Shijihutuhu, who is recognized as the casualty of poor command, will be able to atone for his crimes because he captured servant Anzhen.

Thinking of this, Shiji Hubald almost felt hot all over his body, and his nostrils were constantly flaring due to heavy breathing:
"Khan, let's send troops to chase them! I will still be the leader! This time, I will kill a hundred, a thousand heads of the enemy. If I can't do it, I will cut off my thumb and let me From now on, I can no longer shoot and hunt! This time, I will dedicate Guo Ning’s head to Da Khan as a urinal. If I can’t do it, I will cut off my legs and let me fall to the ground and never get up!”

Genghis Khan smiled slightly.

Shiji Hutuhu was the adopted son of Hoelun's mother, and Genghis Khan had known him for many years.Since he was a teenager, he has been as energetic as a pony, running around in front of Genghis Khan all day long.

There are hundreds or thousands of outstanding young people like this on the grassland, and there are also the bravest knights, the most accurate shooters, and the toughest herdsmen on the grasslands.All of them deserved better pastures and, of course, better food, stronger wine, and better women.

From the moment Genghis Khan unified the grasslands, he felt the mission bestowed upon him by the Longevity God.He wants to lead a powerful Mongolian army to get what the Mongolians deserve.He firmly believes that in this process, Changshengtian will help him with magical power as he has done countless times before, and make any powerful enemy bow his head under the iron hoof.

The situation in front of him seemed to be bestowed by the Longevity Heaven.

retreat?
What a stupid way to do it.

Genghis Khan once regarded Guo Ning as a formidable enemy.Now it seems that this powerful enemy's fighting ability on the battlefield is more advanced than Genghis Khan expected, but it is inevitable to be flawed outside the battlefield.His flaw is that he has lived in the Central Plains for too long, and like everyone under the Great Jin Kingdom, his mind is full of fighting and competing with each other. It is impossible for them to hug each other tightly like the Mongolians and face the battlefield together. enemy!

The most important thing is always the enemy on the battlefield!
If you are faced with a ferocious wolf, how can you not fight the wolf to the death, but turn around and look at the livestock elsewhere?The moment you turn your head, the wolf will bite your throat, no matter how many animals there are, they will only fall into the wolf's mouth!

Thinking of this, Genghis Khan could hardly restrain his fierce warlike emotions.But the more excited he was, the more cautious he became.

He said: "Don't spread this matter to the outside world, and the thousands of households will not respond. Before the sun rises to the height of your arms, I want you to dispatch with elite cadres and continue to arrest Dinghai people. Everyone who comes here should question carefully, let Zabaler Huozhe and Yelutuhua interrogate with you, don't be fooled by the cunning Haner!"

"As ordered!"

"As for the outspoken subordinates..."

Genghis Khan suddenly shouted: "The song is coming out, is the song coming out?"

"I am here!"

Qu Chu, who was dressed in a squirrel fur jacket, answered while bowing to enter the account.His face was covered with traces of dust and sweat, and it seemed that it was not an easy task to deal with Ding Haijun's sentry cavalry all night.

"Your subordinates all scattered out to inquire about the news. Even if they couldn't get close to Dinghailing's camp, they were still watching from ten or twenty miles away. Since they are going to retreat, there must be signs in our eyes. Give us all Keep your eyes open and look carefully! Before the sun rises to the height of the horses, I want to determine the real movement of the enemy!"

"As ordered!"
