Of course, the rocket mentioned here is a rocket made of sackcloth grease wrapped in sackcloth, not the Song army's black technology weapon, the krait snake or the fire dragon arrow, but from the fact that the sky and the earth are illuminated, we know that the number of these rockets is so large and endless.

Subsequently, Zong Wang also clearly saw a Song cavalry who took the lead in riding into the camp, and there happened to be a standard flag on his back, with only one word on it: Fold!

Huang Jie did make an appointment with Zong Wang for three days, saying that he would wait for him in Liaoyang!

Of course, Huang Jie would definitely not break his promise when he said that he would wait for him, but Huang Jie did not say that he would definitely not do anything when he was waiting for Zong Wang.

He is not stupid, he knew that Zong Wang was coming back from Jinzhou, but he rerouted to Yaozhou in front of Liaoyang City, this is to copy his back road, and he really didn't do anything, just waited for Zong Wang to come in Liaoyang?

Therefore, it doesn't hurt to use the standard tactics of night attack or sneak attack a few times!

As mentioned above, after Huang Jie returned from Goryeo, he picked up the 8,000 cavalry of Zhe Keshi in Cheongju before landing in Yaozhou. If Huang Jie's battle against Jin this time was a fist, then these 8,000 cavalry were the thumbs on the fist: this was a pure cavalry unit that took three years and exhausted all the resources that the Great Song Dynasty could only raise.

Historically, there has been a debate about what is meant by "cavalry", or what can be considered a "cavalry unit".

Contemporaneous Europeans believed that a cavalryman should have at least two sets of armor, a set of waistcoats, two swords, an axe, a shield, a war horse, and two pack horses, and at least two servants who were responsible for carrying these supplies and feeding the horses.

As for the Khitan and the party people, they are not so particular, weapons and armor can be prepared, and there is no way if they don't, but at least each person must have three horses and two sets of saddles, so that it is possible to carry out a two-horse transfer, and the extra spare horses can also carry weapons, armor and living materials.

As for the Jurchens, because there was not a high production area for horses between the white mountains and black waters, there were only 2,500 men and horses in Agu's family when he started the army, of which only 700 were cavalry. After the establishment of the Jin State, with the gradual devouring of the territory of the Liao State and the seizure of the northwest steppe (there was no geographical concept of Inner and Outer Mongolia in this era), the cavalry was slowly developed.

However, due to the constraints of lack of materials and low productivity, even the Jin Kingdom, which now seems to be in full swing, has not been able to completely turn the entire ** team into cavalry, and can only maintain an elite army of 70,000 people.

Therefore, although the Great Song Dynasty was rich, and any armor and weapons could be picked up expensive, there was an extreme shortage of war horses, and even the Japanese army, one of the dignified Upper Four Armies, claimed to have an establishment of 48,000 people, but there were only less than 3,000 war horses.

Now, although there are only 8,000 people in the Zhejia army, they have truly achieved double saddles and three horses, and really three horses per person!

In addition, the equipment is also expensive, equipped with a set of all-steel cavalry infantry armor/vest, a five-piece set of steel helmets and combat boots, two sets of silk inside and outside and leather soft armor, weapons supervision to make more than one stone iron tire bow and arrows 36 arrows, two quenched steel sabers, a cavalry sword, two steel barbed guns, an iron horse lance, three spears, copper kettle, copper Diao bucket (Diao Dou is a kind of field cooking utensils, similar to a small milk pot with a handle, can be boiled and eaten can also be used to knock out the sound warning), cowhide bladder, long rope, Single cavalry tabernacle and so on.

With a complete set of equipment, can you estimate how much money you need?

It's not much, it's almost 500 or so...... Nothing more...... Nothing more...... Already!

Don't be too expensive, first calculate how much three horses are worth, and although the cost of treatment seems to be a large investment, the monthly salary of each cavalry and the feed of three horses are not small. According to the standards of the Western Army, if you don't eat empty pay and don't deduct it, the monthly salary of each cavalry is 3,000 wen (about equal to four yuan), and the fodder money for each horse is 800 to 1,200 yuan, which adds up to almost five yuan.

If it is a war, the loss of weapons and equipment is still a small head, and the compensation and compensation for war damage is the big head.

That's it! The matter has come to this point, without further ado, it is also said that when Zong Wang ran out of the tent barefoot, what he saw was the Zhejia army who came to sneak attack and fired rockets into the camp of the Jin army.

Since the vanguard led by Zong Wang itself is elite, it is naturally not responsible for any miscellaneous tasks such as carrying tents and baggage, and in addition to marching rations, what he carries with him is weapons and equipment, in case of being ready to fight at any time. Therefore, although they have set up camp now, they have not set up tents, but they have gathered their horses together, and then cut branches to build a simple fence, demarcated the area where the camp will be built for a while, and then they will raise a bonfire and sit around it.

And when the Zhejia army attacked, because the direction was the direction of the Jin army, almost no one suspected that it was the enemy army, not to mention standing up and guarding, but there were few people who stood up to greet each other, so when the rain of arrows hit the sky, there were very few people who could take out their shields to cover themselves at the first time, let alone form a formation to cover each other.

So, Zong Wang, who rushed out of the tent, also saw it, and as the rockets that lit up the sky fell, all of a sudden, the roars and screams in the camp everywhere in the bonfire were immediately connected.

But this is not the end, at the same time as the rain of arrows fell, a team of cavalry wearing heavy cavalry armor, holding a super long horse lance, and all the backs were inserted with folded words to recognize the flag, but in the rain of arrows, it was like a team of humanoid deaths who specialized in harvesting human lives, so they rushed in from the direction of the camp gate (the camp gate had not yet been built at this time) with the horse lance, and the target was the Jin army marshal tent where Zongwang was.

At this time, although Zong Wang's eyes were shocked, his face was calm as usual, he first looked left and right, and then casually pulled out the battle flag planted in front of the tent, and shouted: "Sons! Don't panic, follow the enemy! ”

At this time, Zong Pan and other generals also came out of the tent, but they were not surprised when they saw this situation, and they saw that Zong Pan didn't know where to find a mace, so he stood beside Zong Wang and said with a smile: "Han Lu Bu, do you dare to have a game with a certain one?" ”

Zong Wang smiled when he heard this: "When you were in Chuhedian, where was the blue-maned lion you lost to a certain one?" ”

Zong Pan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and at this time, there happened to be more than a dozen horsemen rushing to the place where he was less than ten steps in front, Zong Pan jumped forward with a mace, and shouted: "Just turn back with you!" Kill! ”

Zong Wang smiled when he heard this, but he followed Zong Pan closely with the Daxu battle flag, and rushed ahead of Zong Pan with a big stride, and then saw him hold up the Daxu battle flag, and the whole person jumped up like an arrow from the string, making the Daxu battle flag like a spear, and rushed to the Song cavalry that came forward.
