Yue Flip began to pay attention to everything outside, began to pay attention to this real and cruel world, began to regard himself as a member of this world, as a member of the Great Song Dynasty, and really considered the future of the Great Song Dynasty and the future of the Han family.

From the peak to the decline of Chinese civilization, it began with the Great Song Dynasty, and the era in which it lived was precisely the most important turning point, this year, the whole world was violently shaken.

Can you turn the tide? Can you change all of this yourself? Why does Zhang Ying trust himself so much, so firmly believe that he can definitely change all this, so firmly believe that he can bring a ray of light to the dark future, and believe that he can do what he can't do......

Saburo, am I really worthy of your trust?

Yue turned his head and looked at the starry sky, and sighed slightly, 100,000 Jurchen Iron Horsemen, the most powerful combat power of this era, the Khitan Iron Horse, the overlord of East Asia in the previous era, has become history, and in the next hundred years, the Jurchen Iron Horse is the overlord, until the appearance of the most demonic Mongolian Iron Horse, the nomads have reached the peak, and the Chinese civilization has fallen into the endless abyss.

At this juncture, what can Yue Flip do?

How do I fight the cavalry? The Great Song Dynasty lacked cavalry, the national cavalry added up to 50,000, the largest number of Western Army had 30,000 cavalry, the remaining 20,000 were scattered throughout the Great Song Dynasty, there were only more than 300 cavalry under his command, 30,000 troops, only more than 300 cavalry, the extent to which the Great Song Dynasty lacked war horses, it is self-evident, and what is more important is that in this era, the cavalry completely restrained the infantry, and the infantry was difficult to compete with the powerful cavalry.

Military formation? That was the old trick of the Han infantry against the nomadic cavalry, maybe it was still useful in the Xiongnu era, but with the rise of the Khitans, the ethnic minorities mastered the way of iron smelting, they could build heavy cavalry, create steel forged cavalry, like a tank of steel torrents, the Jurchen kidnapping horses, the infantry of the Song army was so fragile in front of them, so vulnerable.

That is not to be made up with faith, if faith can make up for everything, offset all disadvantages, Zong Ze will not fail, from beginning to end, the Han nation did not find an effective infantry method of fighting against the cavalry, Li Mu used to deal with the Huns' chariot array during the Warring States Period

It's outdated, Zong Ze used it, but it soon failed, we are advancing, the nomads are also advancing, the nomads who have mastered the Han iron-smelting technology and invention and creation technology are terrible.

The chariot is not working, the most fundamental reason is that two legs can't run four legs, in the ever-changing battlefield, the cavalry has too much advantage, Lin Chong's three thousand iron cavalry can kill three in and three out in the 150,000 army, and destroy Fang La's infantry formation, if he uses the infantry army formation to confront the stronger Jurchen cavalry, it is undoubtedly looking for death.

Moreover, it is very important that the military formation is a means of defense, not an offensive means, and if you use it for defense, people will not fight you, go around, hit your rear, and hit your people, what will you do? It is still necessary to separate, or to fight to the death with the cavalry, or to be cut to the flesh and blood, and then to hate the battlefield.

In the confrontation between the Han and the nomads, they have been in an unfavorable situation for a long time, and each dynasty will face the invasion of the nomads in the early days of the founding of the country, and the elite troops of the founding of the country can be used to fight with the nomads, but the overall combat effectiveness and quality of the army have declined, and the difference between the lifestyle and physical fitness of the Han people and the nomads has also made the counterattack war of the Han people difficult and abnormal.

Even if it is Yue Fei, he has established a cavalry force that is enough to confront the Jurchens, so that he has the prestige of the Yue family's army, Yue Fei did not defeat the Jurchens with infantry, but with cavalry!

Yue Tuo did not have the foundation to build cavalry, and without horses, even if there were more infantry, it would be useless, so there was only one method left for Yue Tuo - long-range strike.

Bows, crossbows, arrows, and firearms.

The bow and crossbow is not a way for the Song people to find in the helpless situation, the bow and crossbow technology of the Song people surpassed the Jurchens and even the later Mongols too much, but it is worth noting that the speed of the cavalry and the range of the bow and crossbow and the launch rate of the bow and crossbow are destined to take no advantage of the bow and crossbow array in the confrontation with the cavalry.

A vigorous increase in the range, the god arm bow came into being, the Western Xia people's first initiative of the god arm bow in the Great Song Dynasty was carried forward, in the battlefield against the nomads repeatedly miraculous feats, but it can not change the disadvantages of the Song army and the advantage of cavalry, Yue Chuan is very deeply aware that even if the whole army is equipped with 30,000 pairs of god arm bows, it is difficult to fight against the Jurchen iron cavalry, the bow and crossbow is a passive means of defense, not an active means of attack.

Therefore, specifically, the history of human development tells Yue Tuo's infantry that the last means of restraining cavalry is firearms, and because of firearms, the infantry was able to sweep the cavalry into the garbage heap of history.

To be precise, it was after the American Civil War that firearms were able to completely restrain the cavalry after the popularity of the repeating rifle, so that the cavalry gradually walked out of the war stage, more precisely, the invention of the machine gun drove the cavalry into the bottomless abyss, and there was no chance of survival, so Yue Chuan knew that it was completely impossible for him to do this, and it was completely impossible to invent a mature repeating gun in the primitive stage of firearms.

Even the most primitive arquebuses and firegate guns can be made, it is a problem, let alone others, the initial powerful flintlock pistol is even more difficult to achieve, the musket without the burst function is still not the opponent of the cavalry, if it can, the Ming Dynasty will not be defeated by the Eight Banners cavalry, and the early artillery can not completely restrain the cavalry, if it can, the Ming Dynasty will not fail.

And the Great Song Dynasty didn't even have early artillery, only gunpowder and a few primitive gunpowder weapons, which were not much stronger than fireworks, so how could they still deal with the Jurchen cavalry? How to turn the tide? By the flesh and blood of soldiers? How many flesh and blood infantrymen would it take to stop a hundred thousand Jurchen cavalry? 300,400,000 or 500,000?

Da Song is really at a disadvantage!

Yue Tuo is a human being, a normal and ordinary person, he can't play with history.

What's worse is that time is running out.

Three months after Yue Fan's reorganization of armaments, the northern intelligence network was initially established, and the first piece of news conveyed made Yue Fan's surprise -- Emperor Huizong ordered the 200,000 elite of the Western Army, which was winning every victory and was about to destroy Xia, to stop the war to destroy Xia, sign a peace treaty with the party members, transfer the Hebei battlefield to the east, and prepare for the second Northern Expedition with the Western Army as the main force, and must take the 16 prefectures of Yanyun.

On the Khitan side, Yelu Dashi, the commander of the Yanyun Corps, led the army to stubbornly resist the attack of the Jurchen vanguard on Juyong Pass, and repelled it dozens of times in a row, but in the case of instability in the rear, Yelu Dashi could not mobilize more troops to support Juyong Pass, and Juyong Pass was in danger, and most of the residents of Yandi expressed distrust in the Liao State to continue to rule the Yanyun region, and seemed to have the idea of annexing the Great Song Dynasty in order to seek the protection of the Song Dynasty, which strengthened Emperor Huizong's determination to go north to Yanyun.

There is not much news from the Jin side, and it cannot be regarded as a real situation, but it is said that after the number of Jin people's army increased greatly, there were some internal friction problems and lack of food and grass, and the mixed servant army composed of Han, Khitan, Xi and other ethnic groups had a lot of opinions on this, and caused civil strife.

The whereabouts of the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi are unknown, and the Jurchens are also very concerned about this, and the Tianxi Emperor Yelu Chun, who was supported by the Yanyun Army of the Liao State, died of illness, and Yelu Chun ordered to welcome the fifth son of the Tianzuo Emperor as the new Khitan Emperor, in an attempt to appease the anger of the Tianzuo Emperor who was very likely to come.

In July of the fifth year of Xuanhe, the Yanyun area became the focus of the whole world.
