Chapter 579 victory or defeat

"Bump it, and then?" the knight asked.

Guo Ning raised the iron gun, pointed to the white banner behind him, and stopped talking.

The white banner had been standing there for a while, and the knights knew what it represented.Now, they saw Guo Ning's actions, so everyone's eyes lit up, and then there was enthusiasm.

In the continuous war, the Mongolian army has become stronger and stronger.

The most intuitive thing is the amount of armor they are equipped with. The Mongols swarming in front of them are all wearing excellent armor and holding extremely sharp weapons. Some of them were seized from the treasury of the Kingdom of Jin, and many of them were artisans who were plundered to the grassland. maded.

Their physiques are also much stronger than the shepherds Guo Ning saw on the grassland in his early years. They have ruddy faces and stout bodies. In addition, decades of uninterrupted fighting on the grassland have brought them a wealth of battlefield experience. With powerful fighting skills, each of them is a fearsome fighter, and together they are a powerful army.

But Dinghai has also changed.

Just as the Mongolian army is a war machine accumulated from the resources of the entire grassland, the Ding Navy has exhausted the huge resources from Shandong, Liaodong and even from the sea every moment in terms of equipment, training, combat cooperation, and even the treatment of soldiers.

More importantly, the mentality of the soldiers has changed.

Guo Ning still remembers that when he first gathered soldiers and horses at the Feijunhe camp, everyone thought that the Mongols were coming, and they didn't have the guts to confront them head-on. Their first reaction was to move and run away.However, when the soldiers defeated the Mongolian army time and time again, their fighting spirit and spirit had risen to an unprecedented level.

The soldiers gradually looked up to the Mongols, and no longer believed that the Mongols were invincible, but only positioned them as a newly rising barbarian nation.

This barbaric nation took advantage of the party members and the Jurchens by means of plunder and massacre.But they can't take advantage of Han'er or Ding Haijun.

The officers and men of the Ding Navy lost everything under the chaotic military and political management of the Kingdom of Jin, and then regained everything under the wings of Guo Ning.They will never allow their lives to be destroyed a second time, and they will never allow the bright future they imagined to be disturbed by the Mongols.

Guo Xuan envoy just said that he wanted to kill a famous Tartar chieftain.The crowd rushed and killed, and before they had time to think about it, they reckoned that the target who could be favored by the envoy was probably the chief ten thousand.

But at this moment, everyone understood.

That tall white banner with nine prongs stands right in front of it!That Tartar Khan named Temujin, the culprit who started the war in the past few years and caused blood feuds for almost every soldier, is there!
In the past two days, the army has retreated rapidly, and everyone is a little depressed.Many soldiers who arrived from the central army and the rear knew that the situation behind them was out of control, and they were still a little panicked.But at this time, the soldiers no longer had any negative emotions, but everyone was shrouded in surprise.

Guo Ning didn't shout and give orders, but everyone seemed to be on fire, their hearts were beating wildly, their bodies were hot, and their blood would turn into flowing magma.

Hit it!Smash the group of mongols who are in the way in front of you!We are in a hurry to kill the Tartar Khan!
Kill the Tartar Khan, and we will win this game!It's unprecedented to be able to brag about the big win of a lifetime!
The iron floating map knights around Guo Ning are also regarded as a preparation path to the status of an officer, so the members are constantly adjusted.But the training they have received is the same. No matter it is windy or rainy, or hot in winter, they never slacken in their training, and they are constantly honing their ability to attack and break the formation.

Occasionally, some people feel that with the rise of the Mongols, this set of heavy cavalry shock tactics originated from the Jurchens is a bit out of date.When the Jin army fought the Mongols in the field, the Mongols would ride lightly and fly kites far away, while the Iron Pagoda knights ran in vain, unable to catch up with the enemy's shadow.In the long run, the opportunities for this kind of tactics to be used will inevitably become less and less.

Is there any use in spending so much time and energy on practicing this skill?
They all know now.

This is useful, because Guo Ning can be said to be the best general in the world today who is good at frontal impact of cavalry.At the same time, he is also the best at creating a frontal impact of iron cavalry for his own side, a chance for a decisive battle!

Hit it!Hit it!
Mongolian cavalry are capable of outflanking, flanking, and running, so the weapons they are equipped with are mainly bows and knives.Among them are also knights who use long weapons and wear heavy armor. The main task is to penetrate the enemy's gaps and tear the enemy's formation after the light cavalry disrupts the enemy's formation with bows and arrows.

Depending on the combat objectives and combat methods of the naval cavalry, they are completely opposite to the Mongols.

They followed the style of reckless attack and fierce attack when the Jurchens rose, and they also had matching equipment.They wore fine armor made by craftsmen from the Central Plains, and rode tall horses from Liaodong that were good at sprinting, and more than half of them were holding iron spears and spears that were most suitable for charging.

When they gradually adjusted their formation and lined up like sharp blades, the entire row of iron guns raised horizontally in front of the formation suddenly protruded.The gun head reflected the sunlight, roaring like a huge iron dragon rushing close to the ground, stretching out its radiant five claws forward!

The Mongols shrouded in five claws showed an expression of fear uncontrollably.

In the past few years, this fearful army directly under Genghis Khan has almost forgotten what fear is.They felt satisfied when they were looting, and they were eager to kill in battle. They felt that in the vast land under the blue sky, facing the power of the Mongolian army, all people could only cry in despair.

But it is they who are about to cry out now.

Zabal Fireman asked the knights to go forward, block the way of Dinghai's heavy cavalry, and then entangle them.When the experienced Mongols heard this order, they almost subconsciously refused.All because this is not what the Mongols are good at at all, but to use their own weaknesses to forcefully overcome the strongest points that the enemy has honed over time.But they also knew that Genghis Khan was just behind, and no matter how difficult this task was, it had to be completed!

The Mongols put away their bows and arrows, held various shapes of weapons in their hands, and bravely marched forward to fight.

But the speed of the naval iron cavalry is faster and the attack is more fierce!
The iron dragon hit, and the five claws swung out.The soldiers of Dinghai roared in unison, as if the iron dragon had let out a thunderbolt!
At this moment, the tip of the spear pierced through the body, the iron spear was covered with blood, and the blade and the enemy's armor shattered at the same time.Some Mongols were pushed into the air by iron spears, and some war horses passed through the dense enemy formation, leaving only half of the knight's body on their backs.And more Tiefutu knights urged their horses forward, flying stumps and broken arms wherever they went. Their horses neighed again and again, trampling the fallen Mongolian knights to death.

The blood mist rose again and again, and the Mongols in the front were cut off almost instantly, revealing the centurion and nobles who were in charge of commanding behind.The iron floating map cavalry in the front row was also sparse, and the cavalry in the rear row urged their horses forward from the gap and continued to clash.

Alihan, the eldest son of Zabal Huo Zhe, stared round his eyes and used all his skills to dance the scimitar in his hand wildly.This scene of cavalry hedging is very rare.Under normal circumstances, Mongolian knights are willing to use their skills and instinctively avoid such purely brute force fighting.Not to mention people, even their war horses will take the initiative to avoid too violent collisions.

But now is not the normal situation.Our own side has a reason to do so, but it is facing Ding Haijun who is rushing like crazy!Now that such a bad battle has been fought, if you want to save your life, you must not only have superb martial arts skills, but also have the luck favored by heaven!
Alihan swung the scimitar sideways, trying to fend off the spear that was piercing obliquely, then leaned forward and slashed at an iron floating figure knight with the knife.

But the opponent didn't dodge at all, he just twisted his waist slightly to pass the vital point, and raised his hand.The scimitar swept across his armguard, drawing a series of sparks.

In the blink of an eye, the two knights passed by. Alihan cursed and pulled the rein hard, trying to sit upright on the horse again.Unexpectedly, another cavalry passed by, raised his hand and stabbed the spear into the horse's neck.

This blow was so powerful that the tip of the spear pierced through the opposite side of the neck, and it was pierced through and could not be pulled out.The cavalryman let go of his hand, pulled out the iron bone from the side of the saddle, waved it, and continued to ride the horse forward.

The blood of the horse sprayed out from the two wounds pierced by the spear at the same time, and Alihan was brought down by the horse and his thigh was pinned down.He was putting his hands on the ground, trying to struggle, but a group of Dingjun's infantry rushed up from nowhere, and when they came up, they swung their swords wildly, cutting several bloody wounds on Alihan's body.

A pawn strode forward, holding a knife in both hands, intending to cut off Alihan's head directly.

Unexpectedly, when he got close, Alihan suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed desperately at the place under his stomach where there was no armor protection.When the pawn took the first stab, he still screamed, and when Alihan stabbed him a few more times, he collapsed and couldn't move.

The other pawns were so angry that they swung their long knives and slashed wildly, almost cutting Alihan into several pieces.

Zabal Huo Zhe rode his Xixia camel, which was as high as one zhang or two feet, and was smashing left and right with his long spear.Suddenly seeing the tragic death of the eldest son, he became furious and urged the camel to rush in that direction.
