Chapter 777 Courage

Guo Ning is a soldier, but he doesn't like long wars that last for years.He is more willing to spend a long time preparing for war, but once he does it, he will be like a thunderbolt, deciding the outcome in the shortest time.

In the early years, his own strength was not strong enough. If he wanted to make a quick victory, he could only rely on his own example and the lives of his soldiers to fight.Now that the military strength is so strong, and the army is approaching Kaifeng, he wants to make a quick decision, so he deliberately exposes a little flaw and lets the enemy's elite soldiers let go and launch a counterattack.

Wanyan Congtan and other generals who are fighting Guo Ning at this moment are the last batch of generals in the Jurchens.Their battlefield judgment is fine, but they absolutely don't know the weaknesses of the iron cannon and the new type of rock machine.After being bombarded violently, they must think that the army will be smashed to pieces under the bombardment of iron artillery sooner or later.

Well, some will be shaken and some will be discouraged.And the real elite warriors will choose to assault the firing position of the iron artillery to destroy this huge threat.

But what they didn't know was that although Guo Ning used advanced weapons, he didn't pin his hope of victory on the weapons themselves.

In Guo Ning's impression, the people of the Song Dynasty had steppers and god-armed bows, but they were never opponents of the Khitans and the Jurchens; , A murderous weapon capable of arming tens of thousands of people, but in the end it was also no match for the Xiaomi plus rifle.

What can determine the outcome of a war is the variables surrounding advanced weapons, and it is people themselves.

Therefore, what Guo Ning relies on is people, and what he wants to eliminate is also people.

As soon as the elites of the Jin Army arrive, the Ding Navy will be ready to gather and annihilate them.After these elites are destroyed, the rest of the battle becomes easier and easier.

In order to realize this trap, the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Dinghai Navy have been pre-ordered to press towards the middle at any time. The Chinese army also specially raised a hot air balloon and sent sentries with good eyesight to watch it, ensuring that the Jin army There is nothing to hide from any movement.

However, there was a 500-man cavalry in the Jin army, who were running at a high speed before. The sentinels thought they were covering the frontal offensive of the Jin army, and were ready to stop the outflanking of the kidnappers of the Dinghai army at any time... It turned out that they seemed to have made a big circle. In fact, it was decided to attack this place early in the morning!
And the long moraine they used to cover was only two miles away from the firing position of the iron artillery in the north!

At this time, the stone generators had not been closed yet, and the car array was completely dispersed.If the entire ambush circle was used to deal with five hundred cavalry, it would be overkill, but the bait in the ambush circle was still at a time when it was easy to lose.

After all, this is a new gadget piled up with a huge amount of copper coins, and Guo Ning has high hopes for its subsequent research and development.Although he was reluctant to let his children not be tied to wolves, his own children were always cherished by his family, so how could they really be used to feed wolves?
Guo Ning laughed twice, seeing that Zhang Lin was still on standby, he quickly waved to him: "Hurry up and gather the convoy, form the formation!"

Fortunately, he was under the full alert of an army of tens of thousands, surrounded by battalions.Marching and fighting are like playing chess, he has a lot of chess pieces in his hands, just to see when they will fall, so he won't be caught off guard.

Guo Ning pointed to the Chinese army at the rear, and then pointed to his left side to signal: "The ministries don't need to pay attention, and continue to fight as usual. The Chinese army immediately dispatched 2000 people to form a formation here to stop the enemy."

With an order, the semaphore was transmitted urgently.In the back of the Chinese army's main team, two thousand soldiers rushed forward in a row.

At the same time, Zhang Lin ran back and forth with several people, urging to gather the stone carts.The feet of several stone carts were sunk in the sand and could not be pulled out.He directly ordered it to be dismantled and moved the vehicle quickly.

But Ni Yi, Dong Jin and others were worried that the infantry would not arrive in time, so they began to check their armor and weapons, and hundreds of attendant cavalry followed suit.All of a sudden, there were soft sounds of armor leaves colliding one after another, and the atmosphere became chilling.

Behind the long moraine, dust suddenly rose.The sound of horseshoes stomping on the ground became more and more clear.

Under the flying dust, the knights of the Golden Army began to cross the top of the two-foot-high slope.Ten riders, twenty riders, more and more, some people directly transferred to tall horses for charging at the top of the slope.

Immediately, another majestic cavalry leaped out.

This man set up a pergola with his hands, made a little identification of the direction on the top of the slope, and then rushed down with dozens of riders, without even waiting for the companions behind to gather!
If it was an ordinary cavalry, they would regroup a little at this time in order to show the greatest combat effectiveness when charging, but Monk Wanyan Chen is not an ordinary cavalry. In the past few years, he has continuously gained experience in the war, and more and more to make radical but correct choices.

This time, his choice was also right.

Although his subordinates were not all present, the Dinghai troops from the Central Army who rushed to intercept had just arrived, and the marching ranks had not even been disbanded yet.Although some archers in the team fired arrows again and again, shooting the last cavalry, they couldn't stop the cavalry from charging.

Most of the cavalry followed closely behind Monk Wanyan Chen, rushing into the loose enemy formation with a desperate spirit.Immediately, they yelled and urged their horses to circle around, slashing and killing.

Before today's battle, Monk Chen bandaged his wounds and had a full meal; before the fight, he drank some wine.He put on his best set of fine iron armor and brow canthus helmet, a white Jurchen-style military robe with embroidered collar, and buckskin gloves on both hands.

He had a straight knife and a short knife hanging from his waist, a round shield on his back, and two hulus full of arrows, two bows and an iron spear slung across his horse. to the teeth.

The moment he entered the battle, the horse was the fastest, and its two front hooves slammed on the chest of a roadblocker, smashing his ribs to pieces and spitting out blood.

There are pawns holding shields in their hands, trying to intercept from the slanting stabs.The horse's hooves fell and stepped on the surface of the shield, bringing down the infantry holding the shield to the ground.The pawn's forearm was covered by the leather band behind the shield, and before he could withdraw, the bones and muscles of the entire forearm were crushed flat.

The pawn screamed loudly, and still slashed at the horse's leg with a straight knife.Monk Wanyan Chen was condescending, holding the iron spear upside down and slamming the pestle, the iron rod pierced into the soldier's chest, and blood came out from under the right rib.

With just this effort, four or five soldiers surrounded him in front of him. His actions were so fast and his fighting spirit was so tenacious that he was completely unaffected by the successive deaths of his comrades.

Monk Wanyan Chen didn't dare to fight, swung his iron spear and swept across, forcing them back a little.Then he rushed out from the gap between the two soldiers.

Behind the gap, he was bumping into a team leader who was stabbing with a gun.Seeing the cold light reflected from the sharp spear tip approaching his eyes, Monk Wanyan Chen let out a wild roar, tried his best to dodge sideways, and stretched out his iron spear to stab forward.

Iron spears and long spears crossed in the air, and the long spear pierced Monk Wanyan Chen's left shoulder armor, made a clanging sound, and bounced off.

And that team was being stabbed in the right shoulder socket by the iron spear.

Monk Wanyan Chen took advantage of the momentum of the horse, grasped the iron spear with both arms, pushed the team back again and again, and immediately nailed it to the ground.

As the team was struggling, the iron spears shook violently.Monk Wanyan Chen let go, pulled out the straight knife at his waist, and shouted: "Follow me! Continue to disrupt the enemy!"

When Monk Wanyan Chen was in Zhongdu, he once witnessed Ding Haijun fighting bravely, beating the Mongols into embarrassment and fleeing.At this moment, it seems that the ferocity of this army has not diminished. In terms of personal martial arts training and tactical proficiency, it seems to be stronger than before!
During this charge, the [-] or so cavalry who joined him at the beginning were reduced by half.While the enemy army is responding to the impact of cavalry, it can also change its formation and try to perfect its blocking posture... This kind of well-trained army is really terrifying!
But Monk Wanyan Chen will not be intimidated, the more powerful the enemy is, the more intense his fighting spirit will be.

With the remaining ten or so riders, he shouted to urge the battle, and charged again.This time, he bypassed the soldiers along the way, and rushed to those lieutenants, captains, and even higher-ranking officers who were busy commanding.Behind him, the cavalry of the Golden Army who kept rushing across the long moraine all followed suit.

Not long after rushing, Monk Wanyan Chen bumped into an unusually strong general.

This general is Yu Xing, a veteran soldier in the Ding Navy and a military academy graduate.

Yu Xingyan saw Monk Yan Chen rushing towards him, but instead of retreating a bit, he stood where he was, posing a provocative gesture.

At this time, the sun was scorching, and the hot wind raised dust all the way, almost engulfing Monk Wanyan, Chen and the others as they rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides had already encountered each other.

Monk Wanyan and Chen were waiting to use swords and swords to kill the small group of enemies, but when Yu Xing yelled, more than ten swords and shields around him formed a fish-scale formation.

Among the closely arranged shields, only Yu Xing leaned out half of his body, swung his huge mace, aimed at Monk Wanyan Chen's horse's head and smashed it down.

The fierce wind blew up, and the war horse subconsciously evaded to the side, so Monk Wanyan Chen's slashing movement turned into a block.He stumbled and rolled off his horse earlier, and his arm was contused, and now he faintly lost a little strength.The straight knife itself is far less heavy than the mace, and when the hatchback touches, it will fly out.

Yu Xing shouted happily, intending to catch up and call again.Monk Wanyan Chen put his horse between his legs and rushed past the fish scale formation.After rushing for a dozen steps, he gritted his teeth and shook his hand, took out his riding bow and turned over with an arrow.

Yu Xing was caught off guard, and when he dodged quickly, the arrow brushed his cheek.His chubby face was instantly torn apart, and even two of his teeth burst out.When Hexue spat out his teeth, he covered his face with his hands, but the wound on his face was deep enough to see the bones, and the blood gurgled out from between his fingers, and he couldn't stop it.

The heavy bleeding in a short period of time made Yu Xing dizzy and limp, and he fell to the ground.

And Monk Wanyan Chen rushed towards the next Ding navy like a whirlwind.

Guo Ning reined in his horse and waited beside the chariot all the time, watching the episodes of the war with great interest.It wasn't until Monk Wanyan Chen charged repeatedly that a slightly surprised expression appeared on his face.

After watching for a while, he said again: "The enemy general is really brave!"
