Before the Imperial Army could reorganize its defensive line, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom rushed in like a dam bursting its banks.

Historically, the founders of every dynasty have been wise and martial.

Jin Taizu finished Yan Aguda, because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Liao, he started with thousands of people, and fought in the south and north for ten years, which was a difficult victory over the powerful Liao State, and established a capital in Shangjing Huining Mansion.

Wanyan Aguda is the emperor immediately, and his sixteen sons, although they can't be said to be all brave, but from the eldest son Wanyan Zonggan to the sixteenth ranked Wanyan Zonghu, they can all be good at fighting, especially the second son Wanyan Zongwang and the fourth son Wanyan Zongbi are among the best.

In fact, not only the emperor and the prince of the Jin Kingdom can fight, but even the soldiers and horses under their command are all experienced in a hundred battles.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't wait for the imperial army to reorganize the defensive line, so he directly issued a full-scale attack order, only to see countless Jin cavalry rushing away like a dam bursting.

When the well-trained Jin soldiers arrived at the Imperial Army's position, they did not rush through like the 3,000 victorious troops, but split into two, and the front army drew a wonderful arc to the left and right, using various long weapons to pick the wooden horses in front of the battle line.

After losing the obstacle of rejecting the horses, a large number of Jin cavalry behind rushed to about fifty meters in front of the position with fierce bullets, and then also turned sharply to the left and right defense lines, and at the same time bent their bows and arrows at the musketeers of the imperial army.

However, from the two items of the Jin soldiers' control of the horse and the shooting of the bow and arrow, it can be seen that the combat quality of the Jin cavalry really far exceeds that of the armies of the Liao State and the Song State.

Mounted archery refers to the horse shooting an arrow while it is galloping, rather than stopping the horse and slowly bending the bow and arrow, which is a very difficult skill to master.

Because the rider had to shoot an arrow not only while the horse was galloping, but also had to face the constant ups and downs of the horse, it was very difficult to shoot an arrow to hit the target at such a time.

Usually when the horse runs, when it reaches the highest point, there will be a moment of suspension in the air, and then it will fall down, which is a good opportunity to release the arrow.

Although in war, many times, especially when facing the infantry in formation, the arrows fired by the cavalry only need a certain amount of battlefield coverage to inflict a certain amount of damage on the enemy, without the need for point-to-point sniping. But in any case, archery on the back of a running horse is much more difficult than on horseback, and it is much higher than archery.

If it is said that archery is shot on the back of a normal running horse, then the Western Xia army and the former Liao army and part of the elite of the Western Army of the Song State can still do it, but due to the complexity and changeability of the battlefield, and the cavalry will have different situations such as roundabout, pursuit and harassment, or interception of the rear to pursue the enemy, etc., the content of mounted archery will be further deepened again.

In the military treasure book of the Song Kingdom, "Essentials of Armament", there are three descriptions of riding and archery, which are counter-kicking, wiping the sheath, and splitting the mane. Kick is to shoot to the left, Mane is to shoot to the front and right of a small area, and Wipe is to shoot directly behind.

In today's Song army, there is no cavalry that can shoot volleys for a long time, and the cavalry of the newly established imperial army naturally does not know this skill, only these peoples who have lived on horseback since childhood can have a large number of cavalry who can use cavalry archery.

The attack strategy of the Jin cavalry was very difficult to crack, which put Li Nan and the others in a dilemma.

The musketeers did not have armor to defend themselves against arrows, so if the musketeers retreated to avoid the flying arrows, the Jin cavalry would definitely rush straight into battle without the deterrence of muskets.

And if the musketeers stand still and continue to fight hard with the golden soldiers, then the enemy will be injured by 1,000 and lose 300 themselves.

In the face of the tragic attack of the Jin cavalry in exchange for wounds, Li Nan, who was observing the battle situation on the hillside, couldn't help frowning, there were really not many options left for him now.

After thinking for a while, Li Nan could only take out the backup plan: "Pass the order, the defense line retreats a hundred meters!" ”

The heralds waved their flags on the hillside, and the Imperial officers immediately sent the musketeers at the front line back quickly.

This move of the imperial army surprised Wanyan Zongwang and other generals of the Jin army, because the infantry retreated in front of the cavalry, which was equivalent to asking for their own death.

Although he couldn't figure out the reason why the imperial army did this, maybe there was a deception in it, Wanyan Zongwang still didn't want to give up this good opportunity, and directly ordered the troops to rush forward.

Of course the Imperial Army has a deception!

After the musketeers on the front line withdrew from their original positions, a series of devices full of sharp steel spikes appeared on the ground, which was common in later generations, and was scientifically called tire breakers.

Because this time it was to enter the Song State Expedition, the 30,000 troops led by Li Nan did not carry powerful artillery, but considering the powerful Jin State Iron Cavalry, they still brought these tire breakers that could be rolled up and easy to carry.

The tire breaker could prevent the passage of cars, so it was more than enough to deal with horses, and with these barricades that limited the mobility of the cavalry, it would at least buy some time for the regrouped musketeers.

Seeing the tire breakers that surrounded the Imperial Army's position, Wanyan Zongwang not only did not worry about getting angry, but laughed.

The person in charge of the army is not ruthless, in Wanyan Zongwang's heart, as long as a small amount of cavalry is paid, these defenses can be completely broken, and when most of the cavalry of the Jin State rushes into the camp of the imperial army with extremely weak melee ability, then there is only a simple slaughter.

"Bang! Bang! Bang......"

The Imperial Musketeers did not hesitate, and after they rearranged the three formations, they immediately opened fire, taking advantage of the range of their muskets to kill and injure the oncoming Jin cavalry.

Victory is at hand! This was the cry in the hearts of all the cavalrymen of the Jin Kingdom, so they accelerated their charge without fear.

"Boom ......" Just as the golden soldiers were about to reach the distance where they could shoot arrows sharply, a series of violent explosions enveloped the 100-meter range that the Imperial musketeers had just withdrawn.

Although the Imperial Army did not have a vehicle to transport supplies this time, each soldier carried a bag of explosives in advance.

Explosives carried by one or two people will not do much, but explosives carried by 30,000 people will be enough to blow up anything.

In fact, the Imperial Army's musketeers had always stayed on the pre-planted explosives, so after they retreated, they gave up the blast area and left it to the Jin cavalry, who were eager to think about it before.

A large amount of gunpowder exploded, and the number of cavalry and war horses of the Jin Kingdom that were directly killed was not much, and what killed and injured them was actually the shock wave generated by the explosion.

The Jin soldiers, who thought that victory was in sight, did not have any preparation for this explosion, some people were directly torn apart by the explosion, some people were shocked to death, and a large part of them lost a part of their bodies, as for the others, they were also damaged by the terrifying shock wave and fell to the ground like those war horses.

The cavalry, having lost its mobility, was still within the range of the muskets, so the Imperial soldiers only needed to aim slowly and shoot ......
