In fact, the marching ability of 000 armored cavalry of Wuhao Gu is very strong!

Far exceeded Xiao Baoxian's cognition, and of course surpassed the Liao cavalry who raced with them, especially the Wutian Department as the core, most of the 900 knights were former divination boys. Growing up in a difficult environment since childhood, and later receiving strict training as a fake son of Wu Haogu, he has long honed his tenacious will and super physical fitness, which is no worse than the birth girl who pressed the tiger water.

And these people are also young, they are all in their 20s, and they are just the time when their blood is strong. Even ordinary people can stay up for a few days and nights at this age, not to mention that they still "dare to reach"?

So last night, when the main cavalry led by Zhao Zhongge was resting, the 900 of them left the team and hurried overnight. I don't bring any auxiliaries, do I really dare to need auxiliaries? Not at all! If you can't endure this hardship, how can you dare to reach it? The same is true of these false squads, who have three horses (one horse was originally tended by a light cavalry auxiliary), ride in turns, and travel all night.

From Zhaojiabao to the Gaoliang River, it is about 30 miles, and it takes a day and a half for normal heavy cavalry to carry baggage and ballista to hurry. Replaced by the 900 "Gunda" of the Wutian Department, it was useless for a day, and in the early morning of the next day after leaving Zhaojiabao, it had already arrived at the quiet Gaoliang River.

"Brother Tian'er! It seems that there are no Khitan dogs! ”

Wu Tian's deputy, Wu Huang, led people to reconnoiter around, and came to report in a hurry.

He is also a divination blocker, of course, he has a bitter hatred for the Khitan, and a Khitan dog is gritting his teeth.

"Raft a sheepskin! Crossing! ”

Wu Tian ordered loudly.

"Whoa!"

The cavalry lined up behind him replied with a bang.

They did not need to take a pontoon bridge or a boat to cross the Sorghum River, but they could use a sheepskin bag to inflate and tie it into a sheepskin raft with their horses.

Of course, you can swim there! Each of them has the ability to cross the boundary river. However, when a sheepskin raft is available, swimming is not necessary.

On the battlefield, the physical strength that should be saved still needs to be saved.

"What about after crossing the river?" Wu Huang asked again, "Do you want to mix up the city of Xijin Mansion?" ”

"Not necessarily." Wu Tiandao, "Take a rest first, and then go to Yanjing City to challenge." ”

"Go to Yanjing City to challenge? Just us? ”

"yes!" Wu Tian said with a smile, "Aren't there 5,000 Liao soldiers in Yanjing City?" It would be nice if I could lure it out and give it a beating. ”

"Okay!"

……

During this time, the master in the city of Xijin Mansion was the deputy left-behind guard of Nanjing Province and the chief of soldiers and horses (the Khitan Army) Yelu Liduo.

He is not a new soldier who has never led soldiers, but a veteran general who has fought an old battle with the Diviners, and previously served as the deputy recruiter of the Northwest Road and the envoy of the Zhenzhou Anfu Army. After Yelu Yanxi decided to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, he was transferred to Nanjing Province as a deputy to stay and lead the army.

The reason why he was not allowed to stay as the official guard of Nanjing Dao was because Yelu Yanxi wanted to appease and win over Yandi Haoqiang, so as not to cause chaos when Song Liao went to war. After that, the one who really stayed in Yanjing after Yelu Yanxi set out on the expedition was naturally still Yelu Liduo, who had the same surname Yelu. Handed over to the foreign people, Yelu Yanxi is not very relieved.

Therefore, this time, it was not the commander of the soldiers and horses, Yelu Liduo, who ordered the Han army of the eighth battalion of Nanjing Province to go on the expedition, but the people who stayed behind to guard the horses.

However, after Yelu Liduo took over the 5,000 Khitan soldiers and horses stationed in the city of Xijin Mansion, he was a little uneasy.

Xijin Mansion City is the best flower world in Daliao, and it is also close to Jiehe Shang City, which is even more drunk and gold-obsessed. For the soldiers of the palace army, being able to station in Xijin Mansion City is still fat and fat compared to Yelu Yanxi as the royal tent pro-army!

Not to mention anything else, the Khitan soldiers and horses stationed in Nanjing Road alone are all grain shooting troops, which is the only one among the Khitan soldiers and horses.

The so-called shooting grain means giving food. The military system of the Liao State was dominated by a conscription system that did not pay salaries. Even the Khitan soldiers had no food, and they had to bring three horses, plus one each for the grass valley and the shopkeeper, as well as all the equipment. Therefore, the burden of being a soldier is very heavy, and if there is no grass valley to fight, it will be a loss.

However, the more than a dozen battalions of Han troops stationed in Nanjing Province, Xijing Province, Shangjing Province and Zhongjing Province to guard the pro-army are all grain shooting troops who can get food and salary - the Liao State is engaged in one country, two systems, and the Han army guards and pro-army are all from the Han system, and they are also the mercenary system of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all professional soldiers who use money to fight.

And the Khitan soldiers stationed in Yanjing, seeing that the Han people had money and nothing for themselves, naturally felt unbalanced, so they robbed it themselves. In the end, the officials of Nanjing Province had no choice but to break their wealth to avoid disasters and collect some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to pay them.

But the Khitan uncle who received the money still has to grab things! It's just that it's more civilized to grab it, and the officials who don't rob Yandi only rob the businessmen who come and go, and they don't rob it all at once, basically according to the ratio of one out of ten...... That's how it can last!

In short, being a soldier in Xijin Mansion is a rare shortage for the Khitans who have no big background. Therefore, they are all Khitan people who are a little small and worthy, and they went out and spent money to buy them. Where is this man who can fight? Compared with the hard-working Zhenzhou Anfu soldiers, they are simply two races!

In the eyes of Yelu Liduo, who had fought on the real battlefield, the 5,000 Khitan soldiers in Xijin Mansion City were inferior to the eight battalions of the Han people's guards and pro-army, and they could not go to the battlefield at all.

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

"How is this possible? Monk Xiao, have you drunk too much? Yelu Liduo frowned, looking at the person who came to report to him, named Monk Xiao.

This product is from the uncle of the country, and the three brothers Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Baoxian, and Xiao Sixian are close relatives. Although he deserves to be a detailed and stable military position in the garrison of Xijin Prefecture, he is actually a scholar who has studied Buddhism very much, and has also published a pamphlet of "Refuting the Heavenly Doctrine", which criticizes the "Heavenly Doctrine" "jointly" proposed by Wu Haogu and Cheng Yi from the viewpoint of intellectualism. However, this knowledgeable monk Xiao is also an alcoholic, and he likes the wine fairy produced in Jiehe Commercial Market the most.

By the way, the spirit of the wine fairy is no longer in the limelight in the Great Song Dynasty, and many literati and doctors think it is too spicy and too rushing, and only Wufu still likes it. However, on the Khitan side, this spirit is extremely popular.

"The deputy stayed behind, and the lower official didn't drink last night...... Just now, Xia Guan went to the city to take a look, and there were really seven or eight hundred light horsemen of the Song people, who were setting fire to it! ”

"Set fire? What to burn? ”

"Burn the pontoons, piers and boats on the Sanggan River...... I also ordered a villa that I don't know who's house. ”

"What!?" Jerodori stood up sharply. "Burned the pontoon and the pier and the boat!? Then Xiao Baoxian's soldiers have to take a detour if they want to come back! ”

The Sanggan River passes west of Yanjing City and flows all the way to distant Shuozhou. Therefore, there are many places that can cross the river, but the pontoon bridge and wharf erected in the west of Yanjing City must be a shortcut for Xiao Baoxian to lead the army into the city of Xijin Prefecture.

If the pontoon bridges, docks, and boats were all burned, it would not be easy for Xiao Baoxian's soldiers and horses to return to the city.

"Deputy stay," Monk Xiao said, "Let's take 2,000 people and drive away this group of southerner cavalry who don't know the height of the sky!" ”

"Good!" Although he was old in battle, he had a rough temperament, and he did not know much about the situation of the Song army, and he did not attach importance to armored cavalry. So I didn't expect that Song Jun's "light horse" was likely not light at all!

……

"Brother Tian, the Khitan dog is out!"

When Wu Tian was looking at the two burning pontoon bridges, and at the same time wondering whether to set the last pontoon bridge on the Sanggan River on the ground, Monk Xiao finally came out of the city of Xijin Mansion lazily with less than 2,000 cavalry.

"Looks weak!"

"Do you want to line up?"

The dummy officers on the left and right opened their mouths and asked.

"Change horses first!" Wu Tiandao, "Put them closer and then line up, one team at a time, according to the number, from small to large, in turn!" ”

"Whoa!"

Monk Xiao held a rosary in his hand at this time, rode a Khitan horse, and wore black leather armor, walking at the forefront of the team. Seeing that hundreds of light horsemen of the Song army were changing horses one after another, and they were still with their backs to the Sanggan River, they immediately became happy, and said loudly to the left and right: "Sons, do you see it?" These Song dogs are two or three horses for one person! It's a horse for us! Let's rob the fuck! Come on! ”

"yes, fuck it!"

"Rush!"

"Rush ......"

A group of Khitan soldiers are also simple-minded, and they don't want to think about the lack of horses like the Song Dynasty, what kind of soldiers can ride three horses per person? Can it be a weak soldier?

Monk Xiao also saw that his subordinates rushed up in an uproar, and he also hit his horse forward, without drawing a knife or holding a spear, just following everyone. Because he is a devout disciple of the Buddha, he cannot kill. You can only command others to kill, or you will go to hell.

While rushing, Monk Xiao craned his neck to watch. The hundreds of horsemen on the side of the Sanggan River in front of him were very good, and in the blink of an eye, they changed horses! This Lisuo who gets on and off the horse looks no worse than Khitan Erlang!

And then there's the array! The speed of the array is extremely fast, that is, in the blink of an eye, and the eight squares are lined up without knowing that they are nine boxy. Immediately after that, these phalanxes began to start one by one, and the formation was galloping, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the formation was not chaotic at all......

Not good! This is an elite soldier!

Not only did Monk Xiao find out that something was wrong, but the other Khitan soldiers on the battlefield saw that something was wrong, they all learned badly in Xijin Mansion, so they didn't do anything about sending them to death! So they turned around and wanted to run back to Xijin Mansion City, but how could their Khitan horses outrun other people's boundary hippos?

Just in the blink of an eye, 2,000 Khitan cavalry were crushed by the Song army's iron cavalry, which was not as numerous as them!

The entire city of Xijin Mansion immediately fell into an atmosphere of weirdness and fear!
