Xiao Tzu Rin was a little depressed on the black horse, and the invincible King of Lanling County confidently led 300 Sini iron cavalry to cross the Yellow River from Liyangdu to Bianliang; But the dream was shattered at the junction of Huaxian County and Liyang County.

Xiao Tzu Rin still doesn't understand why the Song army suddenly appeared between him and the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Liyang ferry is also guarded by the Song army.

The Song army guarding the Liyang ferry cooperated with the Song army in the gap in the north to launch a fierce attack on the Sini Iron Cavalry, and Xiao Tart Rin was worried that the Sini Iron Cavalry was wrapped in dumplings; It was decisively decided to go west to Taihang Mountain.

After going west to Taihang Mountain, Xiao Tzu Rin had two options: one was to go south to Xingyang and cross the Yellow River from the depressed ferry to detour to Bianjing, which of course had to be on the premise that Xiao Sui's follow-up troops also crossed the Yellow River.

If Xiao Xuan's follow-up troops can't cross the Yellow River, Xiao Tzu Rin will also have a way out; That is, from Qi County in the Taihang Mountains to the north to Xiangzhou, Tangyin, Guozizhou, Fuyang to Handan, from the original way back to re-accumulate strength and then fight with the Southern Dynasties.

Xiao Tzu Rin was a military strategist, and he knew that this would keep the existence of the Sinic Iron Cavalry; Otherwise, the blade of the Tielin Army, which has not been formed for a long time, will be fated to break the Central Plains.

When Xiao Tzu Rin was thinking about his strategy and tactics, he had to admit the old way of the Southern Dynasties' military planners - from the gap between the two armies of Empress Dowager Xiao and Xiao Tzu Rin in the north, he launched an attack on the Sini Iron Cavalry, and the general of the unified army was actually Wei Yan, the hero of the Three Kingdoms; The one guarding Liyangdu in the south is even more surprising, and Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, is also.

It's terrible! The heroes who have died for thousands of years in ancient times have all appeared in the Song Dynasty, doesn't God protect the Great Liao?

Xiao Tzulin's ancestor once said that the Great Liao Khitan people are the descendants of Emperor Yan; The descendants of Emperor Yan were Xianbei people when they were the strongest, and the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty was Xianbei people; They served as emperors in the Central Plains for many years.

Cousin Xiao Sui seems to see the hope of the Khitan people from the Xianbei people, and wants to follow the example of Wu Zetianhou to sit in the footsteps of Bianjing and dominate China.

This time I went south to invade the Song Dynasty, and it was my cousin's little test; It is said that once the small test is successful, it will also lay the foundation for a thousand years.

An important reason why my cousin used troops this time was due to the addition of the Snow Mountain Demon Sect's Pope Amo's ability.

When Xiao Tart-rin first saw Amo's ability, he was shocked by this guy's strange appearance, and Amo's ability turned out to be the image of a man and a beast; One look at this image is a bloody killer.

Cousin Xiao Xuan told Xiao Tart Rin that the reason why Ah Mo's ability grew into a man and a beast; It was because he had to consume ten red-lipped dates a day.

Xiao Tart Rin didn't understand what the red-lipped dates were, and her cousin chiseled a chestnut on the door of his head and said: "The red-lipped dates are the red dates that the girl conceived seven days after she used her own honey to eat them!" ”

The cousin's words made Xiao Tzu Rin dumbfounded, and the cousin said that there were nine toads on the nine-clam Zen staff that Ah Mo was carrying in his hand; Nine toads have to eat the brains of living people in order to breathe poisonous fire in their mouths, and once humans and animals are contaminated, they will definitely die.

As soon as the cousin introduced this, Xiao Tart Rin felt that Ah Mo's ability was not a human but a demon.

Cousin Xiao Xuan wanted to let Ah Mo's ability take the lead this time, but Xiao Tart Rin couldn't give in; He is the real hero of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom!

Xiao Xuan saw that Xiao Tart Rin was stubborn, so he could only make him a pioneer; And let Amo lead 30,000 Liao soldiers to besiege Suicheng and make an illusion, Xiao Xuan came to attack the west.

Xiao Xuan's painstaking plan to attack the east and the west and secretly cross Chen Cang was all seen through by the generals of the Song Army, which is the general of the Song Army? Xiao Tzu Rin thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a reason......

The black horse marched on the road of Taihang Mountain with solid steps, and Xiao Tart Rin rested the machete on the saddle; His hands clutched the horse's bridles, and his eyes looked around.

I saw that the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, but it was no problem to pass the two riders side by side.

"We've entered Taihang Mountain?" Xiao Tzu Rin said in his heart, and shouted to the guards beside him: "Immediately step forward and inform General Yelu Yida that the army has entered the Taihang Mountains; Be sure to prevent the Song army from ambushing along the way! ”

The guards immediately stepped forward to inform Yelu Yida to go, and an ominous thought suddenly appeared in Xiao Tzu Rin's heart: "God wants to take Xiao Huoning's life this year?" ”

The ominous thought was fleeting in Xiao Tzu Rin's mind, and Xiao Huoning perked up again.

Xiao Tart Rin is the nephew of Prime Minister Xiao Siwen and the brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan; Xiao Tzu Rin entered the office as a direct official, and successively served as the Governor of the Southern Courtyard, the Envoy of the Zhangde Army, the Commander of the Divination (Northwest Road Recruiting Envoy), the Nanjing Unified Army Envoy and the Servant of the Middle, the General of the Right Prison Guard, and the Inspector of the School; In the twelfth year of Tonghe (994 AD), he was crowned the king of Lanling County.

Xiao Tzu Rin's father is Xiao Shu Lu Lie in the Ma Qun Servant, Xiao Tzu Rin has been proficient in astronomy since he was a child; Since the exchange with the Song State, he captured the Song generals Yang Ye, Wang Xianxian, and Wang Jien, and conquered Suicheng and Qizhou.

In June of the 22nd year of the reign of Liao Shengzong (1004 AD), Xiao Tzu Rin followed the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan, and Liao Shengye Lu Longxu went south to invade the Song Dynasty.

As the chief general and vanguard of the Liao army, Xiao Tzu Rin naturally bore the brunt.

Xiao Tzu Rin praised himself for Xiang Yu's strength to carry the tripod, and the horse he rode was also a black horse like Xiang Yu.

300 Ride the Sinian Iron Ride on a mountain road that is not very wide, not very fast but not so bulky either.

Don't think that Xiao Tzu Rin's heavily armored horse is a medieval European knight, Xiao Tzu Rin's 300 iron cavalry is lighter than the bulky heavy armor of medieval European knights.

When it comes to knights in medieval Europe, people tend to have all kinds of imaginations; One of the questions is: how can a knight's armor be so bulky and wear it on his body to fight?

Needless to say, the knights of medieval Europe rode on tall warhorses; Dressed in bright armor, he has a noble chivalry; Chivalry, saving lives and helping the wounded are everywhere, and the most interesting thing is the knight's outfit - knight's armor.

From the 5th century to the 11th century AD, the armor of European knights was modeled after the chain mail and fish scale armor of the ancient Roman period; And most of them are only protected on vital parts of the body.

After the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD, the knights' status on the battlefield increased unprecedentedly; He became the master of the battlefield, and the armor also developed into a style of chain mail worn all over the body, holding a shield, and wearing a hard helmet with a nose guard on the head.

Since the Crusades, this style of armor has been maintained; It's just that the helmet appeared, covering the entire head, leaving only two seams for the eyes.

The armor of medieval European knights differed from Oriental armor in that it wrapped the knight from head to toe with steel; Leave only two slits for the eyes and some small holes for the nose; Walking and clattering, it is like a robot in later generations.

In this way, there are all kinds of jokes: European knights wear heavy armor, and the key parts weigh a hundred kilograms! When you wear armor, you need someone to help, and when you fall, you need someone to help; When you get on the horse, you have to use a lever like a crane to hang the horse!

The armor of European knights was made of a single sheet of steel, not the bladed armor of Eastern armor; Good defense against spears and poor defense against swords.

European knights wore such heavy armor against such Mongolian nomadic light horsemen, purely because their heads were caught in the door panel or they were held by fools as children; The Mongols don't have to waste arrows to shoot you, they are tired of your turtle grandson; I can't run away if I want to.

The Mongol cavalry fought with European knights during the invasion of Europe, and the Mongol cavalry shot with precision with compound bows; The heavy cavalry was dismounted with hooks and other weapons, and the heavy cavalry armor was so thick that they could barely stand up when they got off the horse; Many were trampled to death by Mongolian horses after dismounting.

The above statement also seems to be true, and knights in heavy armor are certainly powerful; Because heavy armor can provide them with all-round defense, but at the same time they are very vulnerable because they are too heavy; Heavy armor will make them run as slow as a turtle.

Later generations of eventful scientists also asked volunteers to wear medieval French, German, and Italian full-body armor on treadmills to test, and the results found that medieval knights used twice as much energy when running as they did not wear armor, and they consumed stamina very much.

Therefore, once a medieval knight fell off his horse and became an infantryman, he could not be in the cup......

However, it was not the case, and some experimenters put on medieval armor and tested their training: they could not help jumping in the saddle, jogging in the city, climbing rocks and chopping wood in indoor facilities, climbing inclined ladders with one hand, etc.

The testers even demonstrated difficult maneuvers such as side flips, somersaults, and dancing.

In fact, the load of armored knights in the Middle Ages in Europe was comparable to that of the bulletproof vests and full sets of equipment worn by modern warriors; It's about the same load as the oxygen cylinders carried by firefighters.

The results of this study put an end to the myth that medieval armoured warriors were very clumsy in their actions.

Xiao Tzulin's heavily armored horses of the Liao army were practical, and there were no ornate decorations that hindered the action at all; After the Han people brought the technology of smelting steel to the Liao State, several steel mills appeared around Shangjing.

The entire Liao army discarded the original rattan armor and equipped it with armor made of stainless steel; The protection is stronger and lighter, and it is not as heavy and bulky as the knightly armor of medieval Europe; It's also very easy to move......

Xiao Tzu Rin was in a reverie, and suddenly saw a report from the military academy; said that there were two or three hundred women dressed in red and green in front of them, who were taking a nap and eating......
