In fact, Wu Haogu’s 6,000 armored cavalry have strong marching capabilities!

It far exceeded Xiao Baoxian's cognition, and of course it also surpassed the Liao cavalry that raced against them, especially the core Wu Tian's troops. Most of the 900 knights were former teenagers. They grew up in a difficult environment since childhood, and later received rigorous training as a stubborn daemon of Wu Haogu. They had long polished their tenacious will and super physical strength, which was no worse than the Jurchen Ganda who had been born with tiger water.

Moreover, these people are young, all in their 20s, just when they are young. Even ordinary people can fight for days and nights at this age, let alone they are still "Gundam"?

So last night, when the main cavalry led by Zhao Zhongge was resting, the 900 of them left the team and rushed to the front and rushed overnight. They didn't bring any auxiliary soldiers. Do you need auxiliary soldiers to give birth to Jurchen Gundam? No need at all! If you can't endure this hardship, how can you be a Gundam? The same is true for these fake subsidiaries. They were three horses (originally one horse was taken care of by a light cavalry assistant), and they rode in rotation, and kept rushing all night.

It takes about 130 miles to leave from Zhaojiabao to the Gaoliang River. It takes a day and a half to travel with normal heavy cavalry and baggage. If it is replaced by the 900 "Gunda" of the Wutian Division, it will be useless for a day. In the early morning of the next day after leaving Zhaojiabao, he arrived at the quiet Gaoliang River.

"Brother Tian! It seems there is no Khitan dog!"

Wu Tian's deputy Wu Huang led his men to reconnaissance around and then came to report excitedly.

He was also a thwart man, and of course he had a deep grudge against the Khitan. A call to the Khitan dog was gritting his teeth.

"Take a sheepskin raft! Cross the river!"

Wu Tian made a loud order.

"Here!"

The cavalry lined up behind him responded with a loud bang.

They do not need to build a pontoon bridge or boat to cross the Sorghum River, but instead use a sheepskin pocket to inflate it, and then tie it into a sheepskin raft with the horses to cross the river.

Of course, it’s okay to swim over! Each of them has the ability to cross the boundary river. However, when there is a sheepskin raft that can be used, there is no need to swim.

On the battlefield, you still need to save the energy you should save.

"What about after crossing the river?" Wu Huang asked again, "Do you want to get involved in Xijinfu City?"

"No need." Wu Tiandao, "Stay a break first, and then go to the city of Yanjing to challenge."

"Go to Yanjing City to challenge? That's all of us?"

"Yes!" Wu Tian smiled, "Aren't there 5,000 Liao soldiers in Yanjing City? It would be great if I could be lured out and beat him."

"OK!"

...

During this period, the person who made the decision in Xijin Prefecture City was Yelu Elido, deputy left-behind Nanjing Road and general manager of the military (in charge of the Khitan Army).

He was not a new man who had never brought troops, but a long-time general who had fought an old war with the Bu people. He had previously served as the deputy Zhaoyao and the governor of the Anfu Army of Zhenzhou. After Yelu Yanxi decided to go to war with the Song Dynasty, he was transferred to Nanjing Road to serve as the deputy left-behind and commander of the army.

The reason why he was not allowed to stay as the official name of Nanjing Road was because Yelu Yanxi wanted to appease the powerful Yan lands, so as not to cause trouble when the war between the Song and Liao dynasties began. Then, after the real stay in Yanjing after Yelu Yanxi went to war, he was naturally the same Yelu Eliduo, who was surnamed Yelu. He gave it to foreign people and horses to look forward to, and Yelu Yanxi was not relieved.

Therefore, this time the Han army ordered the eight camps of Nanjing Road to go to war was not Yelu Elido, the general manager of the army and horses, but the horses who stayed behind.

However, after Yelu Eliduo took over the 5,000 Khitan troops stationed in Xijin Prefecture City, he was a little worried.

Xijinfucheng is the best flower world in the Great Liao Dynasty, and it is close to Jiehe Shang City, which is even more indulgent. For the soldiers of the palace army, being able to station in Xijinfucheng is more fat than being an imperial tent for Yelu Yanxi!

Not to mention anything else, the Khitan troops stationed on Nanjing Road are all grain shooting troops, which is the only one among the Khitan troops.

The so-called shooting grain means giving food and wages. The Liao Dynasty's military system is mainly a conscription system that does not pay. Even the Khitan soldiers did not have food and wages. They had to bring their own three horses, one person from Caogu and Guard, and all the equipment. Therefore, the burden of being a soldier was very heavy. If there was no Caogu to fight, they would lose their money.

However, the dozens of Han army guards stationed on Nanjing Road, Xijing Road, Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road were all stationed in Nanjing Road, but they all had food and salary to get. The Liao Kingdom had one country, two systems. The Han army guards were all based on the Han system, and they were also the mercenary system of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. They were all professional soldiers who used money to fight.

The Khitan soldiers stationed in Yanjing saw that the Han people had money and had nothing to do, so they naturally felt unbalanced, so they robbed them. In the end, the government offices in Nanjing had to lose money and avoid disasters, collect some heavy taxes and pay them.

However, the Khitan master who collected the money still had to grab things! It was a bit more civilized to grab the officials in Yan land, only the merchants who came and went, and they didn’t grab them all at once. They basically grabbed them at a rate of one in ten draws... This can continue!

In short, it is rare for Khitans who have no background to serve in Xijin Prefecture. Therefore, they are all Khitans with some small opportunities and small value. After walking in the door and spending money, they bought them. How could they be a man who can fight? Compared with the hard-working and hard-working military generals in Zhenzhou Anfu, they are just two races!

In the view of Yelu Eliduo, who had struggled on the real battlefield, the 5,000 Khitan soldiers in Xijinfu City were inferior to the eighth battalion guards of the Han people and could not even enter the battlefield.

"What? Seven or eight hundred Song army light cavalry arrived outside the city!?" Yelu Eliduo, who was having a headache for his master soldiers, heard an incredible news early this morning.

"How is this possible? Monk Xiao, are you drunk too much?" Yelu Eliduo frowned and looked at Qingwen, the one who came to report to him, named Monk Xiao.

This guy was from a descendant of the country's uncle, and was close relatives with Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian and Xiao Sixian. Although he was supposed to be a military position of the Xijin Prefecture garrison, he was actually a scholar who was very knowledgeable about Buddhism. He also published a booklet of "Refuting theory of Heavenly Rules", which criticized the "Refuting theory of Heavenly Rules" proposed by Wu Haogu and Cheng Yi from the perspective of Yogacara Theory. However, this knowledgeable monk Xiao is also a drunkard, and he likes the wine fairy produced in Jiehe Shangshi the most.

By the way, the spirit wine of Jiuzhongxian is no longer in the Song Dynasty. Many literati and doctors think it is too spicy and too aggressive, and only martial artists prefer it. However, in the Khitan side, this kind of spirit wine is extremely popular.

"The deputy left-behind, Xiaguan didn't drink alcohol last night... Xiaguan just went to the city to see it. There were really seven or eight hundred light cavalry from the Song people who were setting fire!"

"Set a fire? What to burn?"

"The pontoon bridges, docks and boats on the Shaosanggan River... I also ordered a villa of unknown people."

"What!?" Yelu Elido suddenly stood up. "The pontoon bridge, dock and boats are burned!? If Xiao Baoxian's soldiers are back, they have to take a detour!"

The Sanggan River passes through the west of Yanjing City and flows to the distant Shuozhou. Therefore, there are many places where you can cross the river, but the floating bridges and docks set up in the west of Yanjing City must be the shortcut for Xiao Baoxian to lead his army into Xijinfu City.

If the pontoon bridge, dock and ships were burned, it would be difficult for Xiao Baoxian's troops to return to the city.

"Deputy left behind," said Mr. Xiao, "I will take 2,000 people with me to drive away this group of ignorant southern cavalry!"

"Okay!" Although Yelu Eliduo is old, he is very rude and doesn't know much about the situation of the Song army, and does not pay attention to armored cavalry. So he never thought that the "light cavalry" of the Song army might not be light at all!

...

"Brother Tian, ​​the Khitan dog is out!"

While Wu Tian was looking at the two burning floating bridges and thinking about whether to lit the last floating bridge on the Sanggan River, Monk Xiao finally lazily came out of Xijin Mansion City with less than 2,000 cavalrymen.

“Looks weak!”

"Do you want to arrange an array?"

The fake officers on both sides started to ask.

"Switch horses first!" Wu Tiandao, "put them closer and then line up, one by one, one by one, according to the number, from small to big, and attack in turn!"

"Here!"

At this time, Monk Xiao was holding a rosary in his hand, riding a Khitan horse, wearing black leather armor, and walking in the forefront of the team. Seeing hundreds of light cavalry of the Song army changing horses in a row, and they were still leaning against the Sanggan River, he immediately became happy and said loudly to the left and right: "My boys, do you see? These Song dogs are all one person, two or three horses! They are sending horses to us! Let's grab his mother! Go ahead!"

"Yes, rob him of the damn!"

"Run!"

"rush……"

A group of Khitan soldiers were also simple-minded and didn’t think about the lack of horses in the Song Dynasty. What kind of soldiers could be three cavalry per man? Can they be weak soldiers?

Monk Xiao also saw his subordinates rushing forward, and he also beat the horse forward, without drawing his sword or holding a spear, but just following everyone. Because he is a devout Buddhist disciple, he cannot kill. He can only command others to kill, otherwise he will go to hell.

While rushing, Monk Xiao stretched his neck to watch. The hundreds of riders on the Sanggan River in front were quick and they changed their horses in a blink of an eye! The quickness of getting on and off the horses looked no worse than that of the Khitan!

Then there is the array! The array speed is extremely fast, which is just a blink of an eye. Eight square arrays are arranged without knowing that they are nine square arrays. Then, these square arrays start to start one by one, and the array is running faster and faster, and the formation is not messy at all...

Not good! This is an elite soldier!

Not only did Monk Xiao find out that something was wrong, but other Khitan warriors on the battlefield saw that it was wrong. They were all learning bad things in Xijin Mansion, so they didn't do anything about dying! So they turned around and wanted to run back to Xijin Mansion City, but how could their Khitan horses run better than other people's hippos?

In just a blink of an eye, 2,000 Khitan cavalry were defeated by the Song army cavalry, which was less than their average!
Chapter completed!
