Chapter 638: Ren Xia Xiao Tang, it's you again!
Xiao Tang thought about it carefully, although it was feasible to form a heavy cavalry in the green forest, it must also be treated with great caution.
After all, the cost of heavy armor required for any heavy cavalry is very expensive, and the requirements for horse selection, nursing armor, logistics and transportation, knight drills and other aspects are also extremely high, so the cost of forming a formed heavy cavalry unit is too huge. And the Great Song Dynasty is rich, and there is also financial support from the state behind the soldiers such as chain horses, Rao is Xiao Tang's financial resources are also considered to be one of the few richest people in the Great Song Dynasty, and now he has a heavy burden of spending in the cottages all over the green forest and supplying Baozhou in Liaodong and other places, and every penny or tael spent, Xiao Tang also needs to be compared.
There are also heavy cavalry units such as the Tiefutu of the Jin State, the Iron Harrier of the Xia State, the Chain Horse of the Song State, and the Tielin Army of the Liao State, all of which are regular military units formed by the state, and a heavy cavalry unit is pulled up in the green forest of Jingdong Road in the Song Kingdom, or in Baozhou, a military town on the border of the Liao State...... This is also too much to tell, which country's imperial court will be indifferent when it finds that under its sphere of influence, such a well-equipped heavy armored force appears?
At that time, it was also because of the strength of the soldiers and horses of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou, and they walked back and forth on the boundary of Jingdong Road, and there were no taboos, which attracted the vigilance of the prefect Murong Yanda, which attracted the officials and troops of several states in Jingdong to encircle and suppress Erlong Mountain. At that time, the soldiers and horses in Xiao Tang's green forest may have to face the attack of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it may even be that the new army that he is about to form in Hedong will come to encircle and suppress, and that result is definitely what Xiao Tang does not want to see.
Now the Liao State is gradually losing control of the Tokyo Road, and in Baozhou, Liaodong and other places, select strong riders, and first form a small heavy cavalry force, just like the Modao battalion in our green forest forces, as well as the new stone artillery equipment guarding the three dangerous passes of Erlong Mountain, Baozhou and other military formations will no longer care about the pressure of the Liao State officials and troops, and then slowly expand the establishment according to the current situation and the balance of revenue and expenditure...... Maybe it will work.
Here Xiao Tangwu thought to himself, and the three thousand Hedong thieves who took the lead on the battlefield have almost been annihilated, Hua Rong led eighteen cavalry and 1 shot to urge the horse to fly, whistling arrows in the gallop endlessly, and there are constantly thief army riders leading the string to fall off the horse, not only Xiao Li Guanghuarong, who has the ability to shoot arrows, shouted coolly, eighteen cavalry and 1 shot hard to practice the ability of bow and horse for a long time, this time he was finally able to make a profit in the battle array, and showed his ability.
The invincible chain of horses, as well as the official cavalry led by Han Tao and Peng Xi, were invincible, and they were all over the mountains and fields and rushed towards the thieves, which had already completely disintegrated the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the enemy. Hu Yanzhuo, who was in charge of the chain of horses and lined up on the flanks of the cavalry formation, bumped into two or three leaders of the thief army who were still about to resist, he let out a loud shout and swung his whip hard, but after more than ten years of effort, he smashed the leader of the thieves, Tianlinggai, and then swept with another whip, and collided with the saber of another thief leader.
The violent sound of gold and iron rang out, Hu Yanzhuo's left hand steel whip held the leader's saber, and his right hand picked up the water mill eight-sided steel whip and swung it out heavily, smashing directly on the little leader's chest! After a few clicks of broken bones, the little leader opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of bloody arrows, his chest was smashed and dented, and Nuoda's body also staggered and fell off the horse, no longer alive!
The rest of the thief leader saw that Hu Yanzhuo's divine power was unstoppable, and glared at him with a pair of tiger eyes and majestic eyes, and the leader let out a cry of surprise, and was about to turn his horse to flee, when a sharp arrow flew from the galloping chain horse riding array, and shot straight through his throat!
Grass thief madness! Now you know how powerful the country's soldiers are!?
Hu Yanzhuo sneered, he saw that there were still about 3,000 thieves in the back of the thieves in Hedong, so he naturally wanted to go all out and continue to urge the chain of horses to crush the gang of thieves!
At this time, Fang Xuedu, who was in charge of the rear thief army, was dumbfounded, it turned out that this group of officers and soldiers was not a sick cat who was bullied, but a tiger who launched the might! How could he resist such a momentum? The thieves in the back were now all stunned, and some of them had already shouted, turned around and fled. Fang Xuedu was also about to turn around and flee for his life, when he saw that he had grabbed a war horse, and the disgraced Fan Yuming had already run not far in front of him.
"Brother Fan Yuming, how are you injured? Why are these bird officers so powerful!? Fang Xuedu hurriedly stepped forward and asked hurriedly.
Fan Yuming wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he hissed: "It's not good! We don't know what we see, but when I was about to turn my horse and flee back to my own position, I saw clearly the banners played by the official army's main formation, and on those flags, what were written 'Xin'an Army Festival Envoy' and 'Pacifying Hedong Angel Xiao Tang'! ”
Fang Xuedu's eyes shrank for a moment when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "Ren Xia Xiao Tang? Why did this guy get to Hedong Road!? ”
At that time, Xiao Tang, as the official general of the vanguard department of the imperial army led by Wang Huan and Zhang Kai, chased Zhang Di, the first of the southern Hebei army, all the way from the border of Hebei Road to Hedong, and captured Zhang Di, the leader of the strongmen of Zhulu in the depths of the dense valley of Tongba Mountain, which also made the Hedong thieves famous for Xiao Tang. What's more, Xiao Tang back then was just a soldier and horse prisoner in the left-behind division of the Daimyo Mansion, but now he is a member of the second rank in the court, and he also led several powerful officers and troops to Hedong, what else can he do?
Xiao Tang! It's you who came to Hedong again, and you really want to exterminate all the green forest strongmen in Hedong!?
Fang Xuedu scolded fiercely, and then he raised his throat again and shouted very dryly: "Withdraw!" Evacuate!! ”
Seeing that Tian Hu was entangled with the thieves to make a big force, the slippery and fearful military generals were afraid of the thieves in the local green forest like tigers, and that fear of fear had already been formed, and the ordinary Hedong soldiers were really frightened when they saw the large number of thieves, and hundreds of grass robbers chased the bereaved dogs all over the mountains and fields, and even the scene of immediately kneeling and surrendering was not uncommon.
And the thieves in Hedong saw the nest of the officials and soldiers, and they had long been accustomed to robbing them directly like ordinary people, and they were also obedient to Fang Xuedu and Fan Yuming, when they repeated their old tricks with the officials and soldiers, but found that the object they wanted to do was Xiao Tang, whose reputation in both black and white could be said to be thunderous, where would they dare to provoke the other party again?
Now on the contrary, the thieves in Hedong only hate their father and mother for giving them two more legs, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong and other generals led the crowd to chase and beat behind them, and at this time, there were almost no outlaws who were not afraid of death to rush to resist the official army. Almost everyone exposed their backs to the officers and soldiers who were pursuing behind them, and after finally leaving 17 or 800 corpses, Fang Xuedu and Fan Yuming finally led the remnants all the way to the north and fled from the battlefield in a panic.
Although the chain horse heavy cavalry was unstoppable when it rushed into battle, it was indeed not as endurable as the ordinary horse army. It is said that the poor are not chasing, and it is also taboo for the lone army to go deep, and although the horse army led by Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Xuanzan, Han Tao, Peng Xi and other generals killed them again, but after about a cup of tea, they all turned around and went back to give orders to Xiao Tang.
In this battle, the officers and soldiers captured nearly 1,000 thieves and prisoners, and after Xiao Tang ordered the army to escort a thief leader for questioning, he understood why this group of thieves dared to attack their own troops. Now that he has completely understood how sluggish the combat ability of the officers and troops of Hedong Zhulu is, Xiao Tang also shook his head helplessly, and ordered his men and horses to clean up the battlefield, and take all the captured prisoners of war, and the soldiers and horses of the three armies set off again, heading straight to the boundary of Tongyu County of the Weisheng Army.
