Chapter 458: Crossing the River!

At night, the plan to forcibly break through the camp of the dead soldiers, most of which crossed the river, would definitely attract the attention of the Liao border guards. Wherever they go, there will definitely be casualties, and even if they attract a ferry to hit them in the middle of the river, most of them will even be in danger of a few core figures of the mission!

For this reason, the victorious soldiers and horses even drew lots to decide who would break the queen, and the will to die can be described as a true opinion. Thinking about it, this is one of Pharmacist Guo's henchmen, and in order to return to the Song Dynasty, he also made a bloody investment.

"I hope that on the other side of the Song Realm, there will be Bai Tingbing to watch, so I am not afraid of these Liao people." Looking at the night, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger was moved.

"LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period: A Brief Selection": "The white and the strong can defeat the long and sharp soldiers of others, which is not the theory of soldiers." "Hanshu Princes and Kings Table": "Chen Wu Fenqi Baiji. ”

Over the years, the Northwest Army has not been without heavy cavalry under the Great Song Border Army. One of the most famous is Bai Tingbing!

They were the only heavy cavalry in the Northern Song Dynasty and could be called the sharp of the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty. In history, through the battle of Baigou River, in the case of the disastrous defeat of the Song army, it was killed until the famous Liao general Yelu Dashi tent, which left a deep impression on the Liao people, but unfortunately more than half of that battle was lost. Vitality is badly damaged!

It was not until later that the Jin soldiers invaded the south and died in battle under the leadership of Yang Keshi. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty considered financial problems and did not re-establish this relatively expensive Bai Qi army.

At this point in time, the Song army has not yet been defeated. After crossing the boundary river for a long time, the Song army did not have a military base in the Song border there, but I heard that there were cavalry patrols from time to time. It's similar to the new Chinese Navy in later generations, going to Hangyu Island to visit from time to time!

If the Liao border guards find out when they force the crossing, they will hope to run into the Baiqi soldiers over there. Even if there are not many people, they can defeat ten with one enemy, and they can retreat with their whole body.

Of course, this is just a good wish. After all, the ontology is not at the border, so how do you know the order of border defense in Kaifeng? Even if you have this ability, time waits for no one.

The white rod is also called the white bar, and the white bar, also called the "bar", is actually a stick. Speaking of which, sticks were originally commonly used in the military, but they were not quite the same as those used by civilians, and the sticks used as battlefield weapons were wrapped with iron heads. As a two-handed smashing weapon, the power of the stick is not much worse than that of a hammer, and it is more flexible to use.

In this era, the manufacturing technology of armor is becoming more and more perfect, the protection is tight, there is no good knife and gun, there is no superior martial arts, it is likely that it will not pierce or smash the enemy's armor, but the smashing weapon is different, as long as the strength is strong enough, and the pick is open enough, it can cause quite serious damage to the enemy.

Therefore, when modern people think of ancient cavalry wielding broadswords and spears at every turn, it must be that they have watched too many TV series.

In ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty and previous dynasties, the weapon technology, really took the sharp weapon on the horse, that is, bullied the little cannon fodder soldiers without armor, and casually changed to a real armor.

It is estimated that even Lord Guan Gong, the spear stabbed past, it was at most one person killed. Turn around and let people make dumplings!

In the era of heavy armored cavalry such as Iron Harriers, smashing weapons was once popular, and even the Mongols were no exception. Until, when mounted light cavalry became the mainstream of East Asia, smashing weapons began to withdraw from the stage of history again, and infantry picked up spears again...... Each era has its own different characteristics.

Technological progress, different terrain, different war horses, and different personnel will all be different.

Of course, being poor is also terrible.

Zhu Zilong's body has been in the palace weapons inventory, and he has seen examples of weapons from some previous dynasties. The large-scale use of cotton cloth is still a matter of the late Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, before that, people can only wear fur clothes in winter, the traditional silk and linen cloth is not good against the cold, and there is no effective filler, winter is equal to not wearing.

This even affected the soldiers, and the poor Han Chinese relied mainly on cats to make fires and warm kang in their houses in the northern winters. In this way, in front of the ethnic minorities who generally wear fur in the north, the Han army without winter clothes has zero combat effectiveness in the winter field.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the strength of armor, the advantages of military revolution, and the strength of bows and crossbows have been the pinnacle of the world. There is a white army on horseback, and there is a victorious army on the land, but with Tong Xuanshuai, there is no doubt that the swords and guns are put into the warehouse, and the horses are put in Nanshan, and there is no force to be used.

Speaking of this Shengjie Army, it was also one of Yue Fei's Twelve Armies later.

Yuejia Army: Front Army, Rear Army, Left Army, Right Army, Middle Army, Youyi Army, Tabai Army, Xuanfeng Army, Shengjie Army, Enemy Breaking Army, Water Army and Beiwei Army and other 12 armies.

Of course, that's all for later. The most important thing is to cross the river and return in front of you!

"Shhh, silence, the Liao army is coming again...... They didn't find us, so we'll wait until they go first. The dead soldiers of the Victorious Army, hidden in the grass, talked in small voices.

It's a pity that the forced crossing plan agreed on tonight suddenly changed tragically. The Liao border army did not leave when they arrived at the river. Talking and laughing in a low voice around the fire, but it was still temporarily stationed in the camp.

Looking at this posture, I have detected that there are also border troops on the side of Liaocheng who are preparing to leave the city, and I don't know why. I'm afraid that when it comes early in the morning, the team and logistics personnel not far behind the dead soldiers will not be able to hide. When the time comes, it will be natural that the swords will meet!

In desperation, the dead soldiers decided to kill the Liao soldiers stationed in the camp. Taking advantage of this temporary pontoon bridge, just force it over, so that even the wooden rafts used to cross the river can be saved.

The so-called plan can't keep up with the changes, maybe that's what it means. quickly passed this idea to Guo Rong, and after just thinking about it for a while, he got agreed.

It's a big deal that you don't want to go with your belongings, as long as you pass over, great things can be done.

With a cold snort, the dead soldiers all rushed over. With the victorious soldiers and horses behind, they also suddenly killed, and with an absolute advantage, they quickly solved this group of Liao border guards.

The next thing is to connect the broken pontoon bridge, and Yue Fei and the others also patted their chests and stepped forward to express their willingness to participate in the contribution. Nanren men will not always be a guest, these Xu envoys have a good hand and are just in use.

Guo Rong was not polite, just waved his hand. The battalion of dead soldiers, who fought to kill and wound a few people, was accompanied by Yue Fei and others. One by one, they pulled the floating ropes and dived into the Baigou River.

The icy river water made everyone fight a cold war, and Zhu Zilong, as the main master, even if he wanted to, he would accompany him into the water, no one would agree. But that didn't stop him from trying to test the temperature with water!

Just as soon as the little hand touched the river, I felt that the river water was cold and penetrated into the texture. couldn't help but tremble, it could be seen that Yue Fei and the others were all in the river, and their physical strength was huge. Moreover, this river does not seem to be in a hurry, but in fact there are many undercurrents!

I saw them exploring and advancing in the water, almost stumbling forward. From time to time, the undercurrents staggered back and forth, and a few dead soldiers never showed their heads in the river again. I'm afraid it's more than lucky!

Finally, I connected the floating beam, and saw that in the distance between the mountains behind it, there were many torches fluttering.

Guo Rong is a light drink: "Get on the horse and ride two people, go!" I don't want everything! ”
