"You have lived in Liao for more than ten years, and you have dealt with the army of Liao State, can you tell me, are these 8,000 prisoners of war available?"

Amu understood what Lin Chong meant, and immediately affirmed: "Master, as long as we can behave more aggressively and savagely; As long as we remain undefeated, there is no need to worry that these POWs will mutiny and defect! ”

Lin Chong nodded, although because of the traverser, Lin Chong knew that in fact, in the original historical time and space, the Jurchens attacked the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty, and the main force was not the Jurchens.

Because there are too few Jurchens, you must know that when Yan Agu fought against Liao, he summoned all the Jurchen warriors who could be summoned at that time, but there were only 2,500 warriors.

Two months later, in the Battle of Chuhedian, Aguda also suppressed all the Jurchen cavalry, and there were only 3,700 people.

It can be seen how few Jurchen soldiers are born, and they can't withstand casualties at all.

Even if Yan Agu recruited mature Jurchen after the fight, it is estimated that there are only twenty or thirty thousand real Jurchen warriors at most, and the combat power of mature Jurchen is far worse than that of raw Jurchen.

In fact, the main forces of the Jurchens attacking the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty were all surrendered Liao Khitan and Xi soldiers; the Bohai Navy; There were also captured prisoners who were also defeated, and the Han army with the lowest status.

According to the historical materials seen in the previous life, the Jurchens were very barbaric and brutal, and these Khitan, Xi, and Han prisoners of war and servant soldiers were treated as slaves and livestock, and they were often killed at every turn.

It is said that two or three years after the Jurchens and the Liao State made peace, when they attacked Liao for the second time, they easily captured the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing of the Liao State all the way, so Emperor Tianzuo sent the most capable Xi army in the Liao army at that time, and it was also the Xi King Xiao Ximo (also known as Xiao Yaomai, Xia Mo) to resist, and the two sides fought in Bei'anzhou.

Needless to say, the result was naturally defeated, and then led the whole army to surrender, but Wanyan Zonghan hated this guy for daring to resist, so he ordered someone to put Xia Mo in his pocket and trample him to death with a horse.

was so brutal, bloodthirsty, and did not preach morality (killing and surrendering), these Xi soldiers under the command of Xia Mo did not rebel, and they were desperate to give their lives to the Jurchens.

The same was true of the Khitans, especially the Han servants, who were often the lowest in the Jurchen army and were used as cannon fodder in every battle.

After every battle, the number of Han soldiers killed was the largest, but even so, these Han troops were still very desperate to attack the Great Song Dynasty for the Jurchens.

Lin Chong really couldn't understand this, it was unreasonable.

Seeing Lin Chong frowning slightly, he didn't look at it a little bit, so he patiently explained: "The military lord may not know that in Liaodi and our Jurchens, we have always respected strength, the winner is king, worshipping the strong, and obeying the strong."

It's not easy to survive in the Northland, so most of the people here are used to following the winner! Just like now, perhaps these surrendered Liao soldiers, especially those Khitans, are not willing to follow us to attack their kindred.

But as long as we're strong enough, if they think we're going to win, they'll have no choice but to follow us, because they want to stay alive rather than attack their kind!

Just like a wolf pack, the new wolf king bites the old wolf king to death, and the wolf king's children will still follow the new wolf king, because if they can only live and get prey by following the wolf pack, otherwise they can only become the prey of the wolf pack! ”

Lin Chong nodded, he understood a little, this is really a bit like the law of the jungle in the animal world; It's a bit like Stockholm syndrome, where the weak become dependent on the abusive party.

In short, I think these 8,000 prisoners of war should be usable.

However, Lin Chong thought again, it is not enough to have coercion and show strength, but also let them see hope, only in this way will they be willing to die for themselves.

So Lin Chong ordered the army to restart, and at the same time asked Saba, Amu, Aliqi and others to announce to the 8,000 prisoners of war: As long as you follow me loyally, as long as you fight bravely, you can become a mercenary if you kill one enemy; Kill three enemies, and after two years of service, you can be transferred to the regular army, and the treatment is the same as the soldiers you see now!

The more enemies you kill, the faster you turn positive, and those who make great contributions can also be promoted and make a fortune......

Sure enough, after listening to what Saba and the others said, the eight thousand Liao troops screamed excitedly to express their determination there, and many people immediately knelt down for Lin Chong again, expressing their willingness to follow the Jurchen Bodhisattva Prince to the death!

Lin Chong was a little happy again......

Isn't this cheap and inseparable?

Lin Chong immediately asked people to take off the vest on the jade lion of the night, and whispered to Saba, Amu and the others gave two instructions.

Immediately, Lin Chong rode his horse and galloped in front of the army, running faster and faster, and the jade lion neighed from time to time, only to shock the ten thousand horses and bow their heads together, not daring to move slightly.

When everyone saw this, they were all amazed, and at this moment, they heard Amu and Saba immediately shout in Khitan dialect: "Always follow the master of the king of horses!" ”

The eight thousand prisoners of war also immediately shouted: "Always follow the master of the king of horses!" ”

After running back and forth, Lin Chong finally showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, he raised his spear, drew a circle in the air, and then pointed in the direction of Jianzhou without pause, and said loudly: "Go on the expedition!" ”

In the wild shouts of thousands of troops, more than 10,000 Liangshan iron cavalry and servant troops suddenly set out, killing in the direction of Jianzhou with great momentum.

In the direction of Jianzhou, not long after, the deputy commander of the Jianzhou garrison, Qiong Demon Nayan, finally learned from the second wave of scouts sent out that the 1,000 light cavalry sentry sentries he sent out were killed by 400 "Jurchen kidnapping horses" and were defeated.

Jondemon Nayan was so shocked that she almost didn't sit on the ground.

This is not to say that the 400 Jurchen cavalry actually defeated the 1,000 Liao cavalry at once, and they could escape alive and come back without even 300 cavalry, and it is not for nothing that the Liao State has a worse record against the Jurchens. But none of them shocked him so much.

He was shocked that the Jurchens not only rode in a formation and charged to beat the Liao cavalry all over the ground looking for teeth, but also had no power to fight back; Now even the light cavalry fighting and cavalry melee that the Liao cavalry is best at are not the opponents of these Jurchen barbarians.

In this way, what advantage does the Liao army have over the Jurchen army?

For example, now, he didn't even dare to send out the second wave of remote cavalry, otherwise once he collided with the Jurchen light cavalry, wouldn't it be another delivery?

In this way, doesn't that mean that from now on the Liao army will lose the mobility advantage of light cavalry; Can you only follow the example of the Song people, join forces in one place, and shrink the city to hold on?

Doesn't that mean that from now on, the initiative on the battlefield will all be in the hands of the Jurchen barbarians?

They can come and go whenever they want, they can choose the location at any time, choose the time to attack, and their side can only be vigilant and passive defense every day!

Isn't that even inferior to the Song people, after all, the Song people's skills in defending the city are much more powerful than the Liao army.

The dejected Qiong Demon Nayan didn't have time to think about it, so he ordered all the light cavalry scouts to be withdrawn from afar, and at the same time ordered someone to warn Dading Mansion for help again.

And not long after arranging these, Shi Wengong's vanguard was finally unimpeded, and the vigorous soldiers came to Jianzhou City.
