Outside the city of Jinsu, a huge cavalry, is marching rapidly, close to 10,000 cavalry, out of the horse together, the deterrent force is very strong, under the galloping of 10,000 horses, the yellow sand rolls, covering the sky and the sun.

But above the smoke, it was very neat, which was a symbol of a well-trained cavalry.

In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a way to rely on smoke and dust to watch the reality of soldiers.

Among the many cavalry, Zhou Wenxiu was also among them, he led 1,000 people in his headquarters and followed Xiao Hui's army to the battle.

As a confidant who has made great contributions, Zhou Wenxiu spent just half a year brushing his face in front of Xiao Hui, not only contributing a new type of heavy armor that is enough to equip 2,000 cavalry, but also having outstanding performance in many aspects.

Whether it is the ability to lead troops, military strategy, or strategic vision, he is a young talent valued by Xiao Hui.

Even if it is equipped with new armor, but the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is uneven, he twisted together, it can be said unceremoniously that the current vanguard under Xiao Hui's command, this unit is the strongest combat force, there is no one.

Liao Xingzong's order was to let Xiao Hui go out of the vanguard, in fact, as the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, King Han, he had close to 60,000 troops in his hands, but those troops were not very mobile, and they were not what Xiao Hui valued the most, so they were thrown aside and let them catch up slowly, and only he set off first with more than 9,000 elites.

In order to establish an advantage for the Liao army, their army of 9,000 immediately set out after resting for a while in Jinsu City and replenishing a part of the provisions.

Less than 10,000 cavalry, this is a difficult problem to solve in the Northern Song Dynasty, maybe the strength of the whole country can still be gathered enough 10,000 or 20,000, the combat effectiveness is not strong at all.

War horses are only one of the aspects, really concentrate the power of the Northern Song Dynasty, large-scale horse breeding, and really be able to cultivate some war horses.

However, the cost is too great, and at the same time, the farming people are not suitable for cavalry, and under the premise of large-scale equipment, they are quite different from the nomads in terms of combat effectiveness, so the gains outweigh the losses.

Tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, in the eyes of the Liao State and the Western Xia, this is not a big number at all, the two ethnic groups, mainly herdsmen, can pull up more than 100,000 cavalry at will, and the Liao State can even mobilize two or three hundred thousand cavalry.

Yuan Hao began to make some preparations after killing the envoy of the Liao State, and Yuan Hao could not retreat in a battle if he was able to resist the enemy outside the country and achieve victory, why not?

Jianbi Qingye is a good way to defeat the strong with the weak, but there is one biggest weakness, that is, morale, if the Jianbi Qingye can't boost morale, then it is not Jianbi Qingye, then it becomes an active defeat, the era of cold weapons, a weak morale, then the army will be defeated.

Yuan Hao attaches great importance to Xiao Hui, and as one of the most capable generals in the Liao Xingzong Dynasty, he is also a key observer.

Xiao Hui did not send out with a large army, which made him see an opportunity, in order to meet him, Yuan Hao prepared 20,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 elite cavalry, including 3,000 iron harriers, ready to use the advantage of quantity and quality to overwhelm the other party.

3000 Iron Harriers, to put it bluntly, is a number, but this number is the number of Iron Harriers when Yuan Hao started.

The Iron Harrier has always been the trump card power of the Western Xia, although the Iron Harrier has developed into tens of thousands after the founding and gradual development of the Western Xia, but most of the Iron Harriers are still in units of 3000.

In Yuan Hao's opinion, the military strength is more than 3 times, there are a sufficient number of cavalry, and the most important thing is that the iron harrier who can fight the most should be able to give Xiao Hui a dismount.

Between the prairie and the desert, there are no woods and no complex mountains, and it is very difficult to hide.

This is also the characteristic of nomads, long-range, or large-scale roundabout operations, attacking, with the help of various arrangements, to fight more and less, but in a small area, it can be hard-hitting.

Whoever can overwhelm the opponent in terms of strength, whoever has a big fist and who has great strength, will be able to win.

Knowing that there were three times as many enemies, when he was encamped in front, Xiao Hui's first reaction was not to station, but to wait for the opportunity, and to fight directly, because Xiao Hui believed that his strength had surpassed that of the other party, which was absolute strength.

After Xiao Hui gave the order, when the long military horn sounded, the entire camp quickly changed, from the camp that was convenient for marching to the sharp camp, and began to speed up.

Yeli Rongxing, the current commander of the Western Xia army, he was born with the Western Xia nobles, the Yeli family, and is also the grandson of the Western Xia minister Yeli Renrong.

Yeli Renrong, is the concubine of Yeli Queen, who is of a very high background, and is knowledgeable and familiar with history. In history, he is the creator of the Western Xia script, and Yuan Hao is just a leadership honor in it.

As the current supreme commander of the 30,000 troops of the Western Xia, Yeli Rongxing of course could not bear it, he took the iron harrier as the forward, and began to fight with the Liao State, 20,000 foot soldiers pressed the formation, 10,000 cavalry confronted head-on, with the iron harrier as the arrow, the two sides charged each other, and began the attack on Maimang at the tip of the needle.

Zhou Wenxiu, leading 1,000 new heavy cavalry to charge ahead, behind him, is other cavalry, replaced by the previous Xiao Hui, may choose another method, non-stop war, choose a breakthrough, but the new heavy cavalry, plus the heavy cavalry in his hand, after 2000 more new heavy cavalry, reached 5000 people, which is also Xiao Hui's confidence.

The two sides are in a hard-fought war, in the cavalry charge, just a few dozen breaths of time, the two torrents will collide together, in the attack of the cavalry troops of 10,000 people, there is no hesitation, no retreat, some just crazy forward and forward.

If you go forward, you can't guarantee that you will survive, but if you go backwards, you will definitely die.

After the Northern Song Dynasty and the cultivation of the Zhou family, Zhou Wenxiu was not only an excellent strategist, but also a heroic general. When the strength and skill have reached a considerable level, coupled with the protection of armor, Zhou Wenxiu is invincible.

As a strategist, as the most important dead room, Zhou Wenxiu should be like a strategist, shaking a fan and pointing the country behind his back, which seems to be what he should do.

But he was born in Liao, he knew that in Liao, he did not attach as much importance to Wenchen as to military generals, especially in the military, in this big war where the army gathered, if he couldn't charge into battle and make meritorious deeds, what he said, no matter how reasonable it was, he couldn't trust the generals, let alone Liao Xingzong.

He must use a hearty victory to lay a position in Xiao Hui and the entire Liao army, so that he can achieve what he wants to do in this battle, so as to lay the foundation and no longer charge ahead.

Zhou Wenxiu's own outstanding force is not guaranteed, he can survive on the chaotic battlefield, thousands of people, he is considered a middle and senior officer, but he can't be outside the battlefield, the reason why he charges so much, the key is more important than equipment.

Equipment doesn't mean everything, but in the era of cold weapons, an excellent defense and attack equipment is a magical effect for the top generals on the battlefield.

As told in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the bonus effect of equipment and horses on a military general is very obvious.

Before Guan Yu obtained the Red Rabbit Horse, and after he obtained the Red Rabbit Horse, it was completely two different concepts, and the latter could give full play to the power of his cold and glamorous saw.

This plan of action, long before the dispatch of troops, had been passed out through the Imperial City Division, and the Privy Council had carefully studied it, especially to investigate some habits of the Liao State, and finally came out, which was the only choice.

Whether you want to be happy or not, if you want to benefit from this war that is related to the fate of the Three Kingdoms, you must have enough influence and great military achievements is a foundation.

It is impossible for a person who is finally in a critical position to die on the battlefield in vain, since it is necessary to go to war, then improve his protection and attack.

This is also conveyed to Zhao Xin by the Privy Council through the Imperial City Division, when Zhao Xin was still in the Daimyo's Mansion, after hearing about it, he immediately used considerable means, his understanding of steel is much stronger than that of people in this era, and in the card system, there is also enough excellent steel.

The hardness of super-hard steel with a hardness of 6.8 has been simply doped with carbon on the surface, which greatly increases the surface hardness of the steel, even if the thickness is only half of the ordinary steel plate, but the hardness exceeds that of ordinary steel plate, which is light and strong at the same time.

With a thinner steel plate, Zhao Xin also frantically introduced composite armor, that is to say, the entire armor is divided into three layers, one layer of lining, this material is not provided by Zhao Xin, but a rare material found in the Northern Song Dynasty, I don't know what kind of silk is used to weave the inner armor, extremely fine and tough.

Outside the inner armor, attached to a layer of carbon-doped ultra-hard iron sheet, very thin, only one-tenth of the ordinary step armor, but has a strong protection, mainly can break the arrow defense, the outside, is made of willful materials of special chain mail, and filled with a part of the polymer material, mainly fiber and some silk, the outermost, is to reach the ordinary step of half of the carbon doped high hard steel.

With such a surface treatment, the extremely smooth armor has an overall weight of only two-thirds of the ordinary foot armor, that is, less than 20 kilograms, for Zhou Wenxiu, who is physically strong, it does not affect his actions, but his protective ability is crazy.

In the Sect of Testing, such armor, in the face of a saturated attack of 100 longbows, not a single arrow could penetrate his armor.

The helmet and visor are also special materials, to put it bluntly, this is a humanoid tank, if it is not unlucky and shot in the eye, on the battlefield, nothing can shoot through him, unless it is a divine arm crossbow attack at close range.
