Chapter 574 Dare to Die

The Mongols are a horseback nation, and they are a real war nation.When countless grassland tribes were united under the banner of Genghis Khan, they no longer had internal friction, and put all their energy on two things.

One is war, and the other is preparation for war.At every moment they are hungry for whatever is good for the war.

Guo Ning witnessed their transformation from barbarians who shot bone arrows into war machines armed to the teeth in a decade or so.He also saw in his great dream that the Mongols absorbed the war skills of countless conquered peoples, so when they conquered a vast land and occupied most of the known world, they also stood at the pinnacle of war art and civilization.

For all things war, this formidable foe seemed to possess a peculiar sensitivity.So Guo Ning also knew that once the Mongols saw the power of gunpowder weapons, they would be extremely wary of them.

In Liangxiang County, the Mongols are absolutely unwilling to see the situation where they waited for the Mongols to come and die.The reason why they strive for chaotic warfare is to prevent the Iron Cannon from showing its might again.

But can it really be avoided?
Guo Ning set up the ordnance department's testing ground in the barren hills in the southeast of Laizhou. Indeed, he has never been able to manufacture a small iron artillery that is easy to carry, can be thrown and can be thrown far.But the [-]-pound iron artillery can't be used in field battles at all?

A trained strongman can wear armor and carry an iron cannon like flying.After rushing close to the enemy's formation, the Hercules threw the iron cannon out to kill the enemy. It is good to be able to throw three or four feet, even if it is two or three feet away, it is enough to cause huge damage in an instant.

Since Guo Ning expected that the Mongols would intercept them from the front, he had already assigned all his personal guards to the front team.The ones at the forefront of the marching ranks were not the armored soldiers responsible for breaking through, but the Hercules who were responsible for throwing iron cannons.

In the past six months, they have trained for this many times. Guo Ning still felt that he was not enough, so he arranged for Zhao Jue to lead the soldiers to cover them before the battle. They must let the Mongols suffer another big loss!

They made it!
In the next moment, Guo Ning shouted and charged forward.

The law of war says that those who become cowardly are brave, and those who lose their courage are cowardly.The guards threw their iron cannons with their lives, fighting for the upper hand with their lives, how could Guo Ning miss it?

Today, he is the lord of millions of soldiers and civilians in Shandong, a terrible warlord feared by the Dajin court, and an ambitious rebel who is expected by countless subordinates.But in his own eyes, Guo Liulang of Changzhou Wushabao is first and foremost a fierce warrior.

Guo Ning is not very good at maneuvering, and he lacks the patience to win people's hearts.But he knew very clearly that to succeed in this world, you must rely on force; to have force, you must have the courage to die; if you want the soldiers to dare to die, you must let them see the blood stained on the general's body!

In fact, in Dinghai, some people have secretly complained about Guo Ning's frivolity recently.Some people tried to warn Guo Ning to be cautious in person, not to take risks easily.Guo Ning listened carefully and put it behind him.

He is a hero on horseback, a hero born out of fighting.If it is said that warriors have the use of aggressive minions, Guo Ning himself is his sharpest minion, the fiercest minion among the [-] Dinghai Navy!
Guo Ning slammed into the Mongolian cavalry group.

The black smoke from the explosion of the iron cannon mixed with the dust turned up by the horseshoes, forming a choking yellow mist.In the smoke, the shadows of the people and horses dangled.Guo Ning didn't bother to watch carefully at all. He squinted his eyes and mustered all his strength, but whenever the shadow of the cavalry came from the opposite side, he swung his iron bones and hit them face to face.

Wherever Tie Guduo went, there was a muffled sound of "bang bang", which means that the Mongolian's iron helmet was smashed and his head burst; there was a crisp "click", which means that the Mongolian's weapon or arm was broken; There was a loud "Dang Dang" sound, that was Batuer, an outstanding soldier in the Mongolian army, who was even able to compete with Guo Ning.

Guo Ning didn't care about fighting, and continued to push the horse forward.

Sometimes there are more than a dozen cavalry behind him, and sometimes there is only one Ni Yi who is panting like a cow and holds the military flag high.

Not long after, Batu'er, who was left behind by Guo Ning, let out a scream and fell silent.

Ni Yi grinned: "Everyone has caught up!"

How dare the subordinates lag behind when the commander charges forward?Whose food can we eat?Who did you get the land from?Who are you fighting with again?At this time, if the footsteps stop for a while, do you still deserve to be a human being?

"Forward forward forward!"

Almost all the officers and men of the Ding Navy ignored the threat from the flanks, they shouted wildly, or urged their horses, or ran forward.

Ding Haijun turned directly from the marching ranks to the forward attack. The number of soldiers who entered the battlefield was small at first, and then teams of ten, 20, and 50 men kept rushing up.They have no queue at all, like boiling water flowing wantonly, or it is more appropriate to say that it is magma.Because where the magma passed, it immediately became a dead place, just like the result of the Ding navy swarming, slashing with swords, shooting with bows and arrows, and even urging the horses to trample and collide.

Everyone is shouting, everyone is running, everyone is fighting!

The battlefield is empty, and the density of Mongolian knights is not as good as that gathered outside the chariot formation three days ago.After the iron cannon exploded, it seemed that tens of hundreds of black smoke billowed, and broken human bodies flew across the air. In fact, the number of Mongols who were directly killed and injured by the blast was less than last time.

But on the whole front all the Mongols were in great panic and confusion.

If the iron artillery can only be used for defense, then the Mongols still have the advantage of galloping. At worst, be careful when attacking the city and breaking the formation, and drive a few more waves of war slaves to die.But now, Dinghai actually used this weapon in the attack?
So many Dinghai soldiers are shouting wildly at this moment, charging chaotically.The Mongols originally thought that at this time, with their natural barbarism and ferocity, they would definitely gain the upper hand.But who knows if an iron cannon will fall in midair?
According to the shamans on the grassland, dying without bleeding can prevent the soul of the deceased from flowing out, which is the best way to die; What will happen to your soul?

No rough savage could fail to contemplate this dire prospect without fear.No matter how brave Batuer is, as long as he is not a lunatic, he will not like to die to pieces.

And they also discovered at the same time that the soldiers of the Dinghai Navy were not afraid of death at all.

The group of Dinghai soldiers carrying iron cannons would inevitably be bombed to pieces.Many people's armor was shattered, lying on the ground vomiting blood and unable to get up.But the only few who could move, they were actually laughing, and continued to charge forward with their companions!
The impact on the Mongols was simply more powerful than the explosion of the iron cannon.

The soldiers of the Mongolian army were indeed fierce and dared to die, and the more the Mongolians came from the cold and bitter land, the more they ignored life and death like wild animals.Relying on this trait, they have overwhelmed countless enemies on the battlefield.However, daring to die does not mean that they will take the initiative to die.The so-called daring to die is actually to let the enemy die. In the final analysis, it is just a means to fight the enemy.

As for the soldiers of the cowardly Xue army, they are even different from ordinary Mongolian soldiers.

The Khans are all close ministers of the Great Khan, representing the authority of the Great Khan outside, and have received preferential treatment.Genghis Khan himself announced that if thousands of households outside fought with the Great Khan, Qianhu would be guilty!With the expansion of the Mongolian regime, each of these cowards has a golden future!

Do cowards really dare to die?

The cowards have far more equipment and excellent fighting skills than ordinary Mongolian soldiers.They also knew that Genghis Khan was watching behind them, and whether they behaved well or badly in front of the Great Khan was not only related to themselves, but also related to the future of the entire tribe.

They are the most reliable arm of the Great Khan and the strongest army on the grassland; they have overwhelmed the enemy countless times and crushed all obstacles in front of Genghis Khan.

But at the moment of life and death choice, will they choose to die without hesitation?
Even if they can do it, so what?

The officers and men of the Ding Navy have already done it before their eyes!Look at the appearance of the soldiers throwing iron cannons at the expense of themselves, but also to kill the enemy, look at the momentum of those enemies roaring and charging, how can the Mongolian army overwhelm them with the word "dare to die"?
The more experienced people are, the more they can understand that the soldiers of the Ding Navy are at least as brave as the Mongols, and they don't mind dragging the Mongols to die with them...they wanted to drag the Mongols to die with them!

Such a situation has not been encountered by the Mongols for a long time.

I thought it would be devastating, but suddenly they encountered not to mention more fierce, at least equally powerful enemies. This huge contrast made it difficult for them to adjust for a while, and the vague sense of fear suddenly hit many people's hearts, and it became more and more difficult to contain .For the proud and self-confident cowards, this sense of dread is a violent stimulus, making them even more frantic.
