Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Song cavalry did not kill them all, so the scattered Khitan cavalry was able to regroup in the wilderness.  Many lucky Khitan people looked back, and the battlefield filled with corpses made most people fall into silence.

    The opponent is not the strongest enemy they have ever encountered, but this battle is definitely the biggest psychological gap for them.

    Whether it is the expected Goryeo cavalry or the unexpected Song cavalry, in the impression of the Khitan people, there is actually not much difference, it is just a matter of badness or worse.  Although the King of the Grassland prostrates himself at the feet of the more barbaric Jurchens, when facing the cavalry of the two countries mentioned above, thanks to the great blessings of their ancestors, they have an absolute psychological advantage.

    But who knew that the battle that was originally a sure thing could now only survive on the opponent's contempt. The Khitan cavalry, who had vowed to regain the pride of the prairie people before a stick of incense, was now full of decadence and frustration on his face.

    When people are vulnerable, they unconsciously want to find a backbone to rely on.  At this moment, Arich, the recognized god of war among the Khitan people, jumped off his silver fist horse in a panic.  The moment Arich's feet touched the ground, the horse that insisted on carrying its master out of danger let out a long neigh and fell to the ground.  Arich was heartbroken and cried bitterly.  Real knights and war horses both have emotions. Only by establishing this special emotion can the miracle of people and horses appear on the battlefield, just like General Song and his mount just now.

    The Khitan people are all people who understand horses. Seeing that the boxing horse suffered internal injuries, everyone couldn't help but wonder. If Arich could inflict internal injuries on his horse, then what kind of person would General Song be?  A Khitan man who was still frightened came forward and said, "Is it because of a Song general wearing golden armor?"

    "Exactly! Strange to say, this man actually wields a soft spear with astonishing power! Have you ever fought with him?" An insider answered for Arich.

    "Ah, it's this guy! How could I have ever fought against him? It is estimated that only the young general who hit him head-on was unscathed, and the othersthe others, alas!"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of concern for everyone.

    "What should I do? Do you want to go back and take revenge?" Looking at the grief-stricken Arich.  Jie'er Weikang asked Dongxian, the general who had gathered around him.  The general Dongxian sent to the city to rescue the Jurchen prisoners not long ago was this person.

    "We have neither armor nor bows and arrows. How can we not count the lives of our men? We have a head-to-head confrontation with the fine cavalry of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty?"

    "Dongxian is the commander-in-chief after all, and he speaks with power and skill.  At this time, a rhetorical question left Jie'er Wei Kang and the dissatisfied person speechless.  Everyone has just tested the quality of the Song Army's cavalry, and 99% of them are from the Western Army of the Song Dynasty!  Otherwise, how could the two thousand elite cavalry of our own front army not be able to take any advantage when encountering the opponent?  The God of War Arich also suffered a big loss at the hands of the opponent!

    Since it is the Song army, it is also familiar with the Jurchens' abductor horse tactics.  All this shows that the Song Dynasty came with bad intentions!  Looking at the direction in which Song Jun was coming, Dongxian's right eyelid twitched. At this moment, Arich wiped away his tears, restrained his emotions and said:

    "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Since the Song army abandoned our army and went straight to the Jurchen formation, it means that it must have no fear. Otherwise, even the Western Army of the Song Dynasty would not dare to rely on six or seven thousand cavalry alone, so Meng Lang attacked the cavalry group with three times its own strength.  ! If this is the case, this Song army with Qilin as their totem is seeking death! Obviously, I don¡¯t think they came all the way to Goryeo to seek death!¡±

    When everyone heard that it made sense, they all subconsciously looked in the direction where the Song army appeared, for fear that another Song cavalry would appear in sight.  It was embarrassing to say that the person whom I had hoped to vent my anger on just now seemed to be something I could not avoid.

    "Withdraw!" Dongxian didn't think about it for long and made a decision in line with the military's morale.

    "Where to evacuate? Are the Jurchens easy to get along with?" Jie'er Weikang expressed everyone's thoughts.  Seeing that Song Army reinforcements are likely to arrive, the entire battlefield has become a dangerous situation. Go back and entangle the Qilin Army that spared one of your own horses, or stay in place and wait for the next Song Army to appear.  None of this is what everyone wants.  But if they stood by and watched, the Jurchens would not be able to explain themselves, so everyone was very distressed for a while.

    "Go to the pontoon! I want to take a look and then make a decision!" Dongxian raised his whip.  He was about to turn the horse's head, and everyone saw this and called for retreat. At this moment, Arich grabbed the reins of the Dongxian and said in a deep voice:

    "What do you want to see? What decision should you make?"

    Dongxian looked at Arich meaningfully and said with a pun: "I want to see the determination of the Song people!"

    ¡­¡­

    Just when the Khitans were advancing and retreating, they were at a loss.  The forwards of the Song Army have already bumped into the Bohai people's military formation, but even though they are face to face, the two warring parties have not yet figured out the true identity of the other party.  The Bohai people still regarded their opponents as Goryeo cavalry, but because they defeated the Khitan cavalry in one turn.With his amazing performance, the Bohai people judged that the opposing team was the elite Beijing army of the King of Goryeo.

    This elite cavalry, which was regarded by the enemy as the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and the Goryeo Capital Army, was the Lu Junyi Division of the Seventh Army of the Liangshan Poma Army. Because it had never made any decent military exploits, the entire army did not even have an official designation.  Everyone then came up with the idea to hang up the mythical beast named after the commander-in-chief, so as to build up the momentum.

    Precisely because he has always been unknown in Liangshanbo, where the powerful army is like a cloud, not only the whole army's officers and men are disgraced, but even the elegant Lu Yuanwai can't sit still this time and insists on fighting for this vanguard position.

    To be honest, Wang Lun is actually not very confident about the Seventh Army of the Ma Army, because among the generals of the Ma Army, only Lu Junyi and Hao Siwen are not from the military, but the latter has been outstanding in the battle since he was a child.  He has ambitions of fame, so he usually either practices martial arts or reads military books. His accumulation in the first half of his life is no less than that of a leader with a military background.  But Lu Junyi is just different. He is the richest man in Hebei. Apart from his personal martial arts, he has basically no pursuits in life. He can go hundreds or thousands of miles away to burn incense and fulfill his wishes in a blink of an eye. It is obvious that his life is too rich, like this  If you have a quality life, you probably don¡¯t have time to study military secrets that have nothing to do with life planning.

    In the original trajectory, Lu Junyi served as the head coach of the front army many times, but this was due to his status at the time (the second oldest in Liangshan), and his leadership style was quite satisfactory. With the assistance of Zhu Wu, he followed the steps and implemented military strategy.  There are also few outstanding features.

    Of course, after Lu Junyi fell into disgrace, especially after he led the troops alone, he was "stimulated" by friendly forces, so he would naturally make up for his shortcomings consciously.  While Wang Lun recognized him, he also provided him with veteran generals such as Yum General Han Tao and Tianmu General Peng Qi to assist him in the military.  It's just that it's too extravagant to say, maybe because there are always better choices at hand, so Wang Lun still ignores Lu Junyi and his men too much, always feeling that his cavalry army is still in the foundation building stage.  Therefore, they are rarely allowed to fight big and tough battles alone.  It wasn't until Lu, Han, and Peng fought for the vanguard this time that Wang Lun realized that he had ignored this team too much before.

    The vanguard was given to Lu Junyi, but Wang Lun also gave a lot of instructions. In Wang Lun's original words, the enemy they were about to face was a half-animal, half-human being.

    Just after fighting the first Hu Lu, Lu Junyi's sensitive heart rose to his throat.  He had followed Wang Lun's instructions and overestimated the Jurchens' combat power to an incredible degree, but after the fight, he was shocked!  If he hadn't relied on his mount to show off his power at that time, Lu Junyi would have suffered a big fall!  This shock was extraordinary. Who would have thought that the Jurchens were so strong that they could randomly pull out a young general who was on the level of the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan?

    Fortunately, my anxious heart didn¡¯t last long before I let it go.  Although the next enemy has superb riding skills and brave fighting skills, it is not the kind of existence that makes people completely despair.  When you come and go, we can be said to be evenly matched, each other suffers losses, and no one has an overwhelming advantage over the other.  On the contrary, because the enemy's rear troops went into battle without armor, our army took a huge advantage and defeated these powerful enemies who outnumbered our own in one battle.

    This victory cannot be said to be easy, especially the coordination between the enemy's men and their horses, which is simply a disadvantage that our army cannot match at present.  But it can¡¯t be said to be difficult, and it¡¯s not to the point where you have to grit your teeth.

    But the positive impact of this victory is huge. After all, ghosts are far more terrifying than tigers and wolves, simply because the former are invisible.  This defeat gave Ma Qijun a preliminary understanding of the Jurchens. More importantly, this cavalry army, which had not been taken seriously for a long time, showed its confidence!

    With confidence, the remaining defeated generals were no longer in his sight, and Lu Junyi generously left them to the friendly forces behind him.  The order he received was to ensure the personal safety of Magistrate Nianchan. At this time, the infantry of the Jin Kingdom had all boarded the city. At this critical moment, Lu Junyi was in a hurry and led his army to attack the enemy's formation. No matter what, he had to first  Create a momentum so that these infantry troops who are just filling in can't concentrate on seizing the city.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he came into contact with the Jurchen army's formation, Lu Junyi was extremely shocked. Although the armor ratio of this formation was more than twice that of the previous team, as a fighting opponent, he gave his side  The feeling was obviously worse than that of the army just now.  He didn't know if it was because of the power of his own army to win, but he clearly caught the cowardice and retreat in his opponent's eyes more than once.

    Is this really the Jurchen warrior who beat the Khitans to the point of dying?  Lu Junyi looked around, confused, but there was only a cavalry of more than a thousand people left on the battlefield that had not yet fought. This cavalry was hurriedly fleeing towards the city with thousands of ownerless horses. It looked like it was probably serving the deputy.  An army of horse servants.

    Such an army can bring the Liao Kingdom to face the disaster of annihilation. So to what extent have the Khitan people degenerated now?  Lu Junyi is really difficult to understand, but at this timeIt was time for deep thought. When facing a comeback opponent, Lu Junyi made a decision that he would regret for half his life:

    "The whole army is here, work together, and follow me to overwhelm the Fan army's main formation!" (To be continued.)
