Taking the Tang Dynasty as the boundary, the government military system was implemented in the early stage, and the conscription system was implemented in the later period. It can be said that picking up the sword is a soldier, putting down the sword is the people, and the pursuit is to hide the soldiers in the people, and the unique military system makes the feudal towns have no soil for survival.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the collapse of the Juntian system and the collapse of the government military system could only implement the conscription system. The conscription system will inevitably breed cronyism, and it will inevitably breed the division of feudal towns, so the warlords at the end of the Tang Dynasty divided their territories, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms were in chaos.

It was not until the Song Dynasty that various measures were taken to reduce the drawbacks of the conscription system, but the corresponding combat effectiveness of the army also declined rapidly.

In the Jin country, what is now practiced is fierce security and restraint, and it is also a half-pastoral and half-army system.

The confrontation between the Jin State and the Song Dynasty can be said to be a collision between non-professional soldiers and professional soldiers, and the result was that professional soldiers were completely defeated by non-professional soldiers.

The Song Dynasty has always pursued a policy of light martial arts, and the martial artists were despised, even though Di Qing had repeatedly made military exploits and was a privy envoy, but it was still lower than Han Qi, who was also a privy envoy. And the scholar even said, "The champion ascended to the top, although there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers, restored the thistle, returned the triumphant song, and dedicated the Jietai Temple, its glory could not be reached." ”

That is to say, no matter how great the martial artist is to break the sky, it is not as good as playing with a pen.

No matter how good Di Qing is, he is not as good as Su Dongpo. Di Qingping extinguished the rebellion in the south and loyally defended the country, and no one remembered; And Su Dongpo ate and drank with public funds, and prostituted prostitutes, but was not shuanggui, but became a real celebrity.

In society, it is even more popular that "a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail!" "Only those guys who are good for nothing and don't have any special skills go to be soldiers.

In this atmosphere, the combat effectiveness of the Song army was generally low, whether it was against the Western Xia, the Liao State, or the suppression of the internal exiles, it was often several times the enemy's strength to attack, or repeatedly defeated. With several times the strength of the enemy, defeat the opponent, then congratulations, you are definitely a famous general. This is how the famous man was born.

Among the many armies, the most powerful is the Shaanxi Army. This is not to say that the Shaanxi Army is particularly capable of fighting, nor is it that the discipline of the Shaanxi Army is particularly good, let alone that the weapons of the Shaanxi Army are particularly advanced, but because the Shaanxi Army is composed of township parties, and the color of some family armies is somewhat similar to the Hunan Army of Zeng Guofan in later generations, and the cohesion is particularly strong. Facing the Western Xia again, fighting all the time, facing death threats, fighting several battles in a row, those who have no ability die, and those who have the ability survive.

In such a situation of survival of the fittest, it is no wonder that the combat effectiveness is not strong.

The army of 30,000 species is advancing rapidly at this time, the patrol cavalry around is scouting, the seed master is riding on a horse, holding a spear in his hand, his face is resolute, his gray beard is shaking, and his eyes are flashing with caution. Steering the horse, he moved at a slow pace.

It is less than thirty miles away from Bianliang City, and it only takes half a day to reach it. But the closer you get, the more dangerous it becomes. The Jin army will not watch the arrival of reinforcements from Bianliang, without any action, the Jin army, which is good at field warfare, will inevitably encircle and annihilate the Song army in the suburbs.

In the suburbs, cavalry has a natural advantage over infantry, as long as the Jin army has 10,000 iron cavalry to attack, wandering around, the family is extremely dangerous.

30,000 people, and how many can enter Bianliang in the end.

"Command the whole army, slow down the march, the whole army is on alert, and beware of enemy attacks!" The Seed Master Dao heralded the order. The herald rode his horse, galloped rapidly, and delivered orders.

An hour later, it was already twenty miles away from Bianliang.

At this time, the eyes of the seed master suddenly tightened, and he saw that two miles away, there was a crisp sound of arrows, piercing and sharp.

"Enemy attack, quick alert. The whole army turned into a circular formation, the chariot shook outside, the spearmen followed, the sharpeners guarded, the archers lay down to shoot ......" one by one orders were quickly passed on, and the large array changed instantly, from the original long snake-like marching formation, quickly changed into a curling, circling snake, the snake's head was raised, the snake letter was spit out, and it was ready to attack the prey at any time.

It's a quick process.

But the enemy was faster, and the iron cavalry of the Jin army, two miles away, began to charge rapidly.

Speed is the biggest cost of iron riding.

The biggest advantage of the iron cavalry to kill the infantry is to rely on its fierce speed to break down the infantry formation with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. When the formation of the infantry was overwhelmed, then it was enough to wave the weapon and slaughter on a large scale.

The greatest advantage of infantry against cavalry is to reduce the speed of cavalry. A cavalryman who has lost his speed is no different from a cow or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Victory and defeat are often between the first line, and whoever can grasp the opportunity to win will win.

For the galloping horses of the two miles, almost in an instant, when the infantry had just set up the chariot array, the spearmen had just set up their chariots, and the sharpeners had not had time to escort them, the iron cavalry of the Jin army had attacked. As soon as the archers fired a few arrows in a messy manner, the iron cavalry of the Jin army was killed.

The huge chariot stood in front of the iron cavalry of the Jin army, about a foot high, and it was full of iron thorns and short spears.

Hitting it, even if the quality of the armor is good, it will turn into a blood gourd.

The iron cavalry of the Jin army, whose face was not moving, did not have a trace of fear, urged the war horse, and the war horse let out a loud roar, jumped up, crossed the chariot array one foot high, and attacked the Jin army battle array. Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of horses, leaping high, crossed the chariot formation, and slaughtered the spearmen of the breeder army, and not a single horse stumbled and fell to the ground.

The cavalry behind seemed to be a little weaker and could not cross the high chariot, but they used the halberd in their hands to pick up the chariot, revealing a huge opening, and some cavalry galloped in.

"Kill! Kill the Southern Dog! ”

"Planter Erlang, kill Hulu!"

Soon, the foot soldiers of the Song army stabbed the cavalry of the Jin army with their spears, and the cavalry of the Jin army slashed and killed wantonly with the long knives in their hands. This is a collision of iron and blood, the Jin army's iron cavalry wants to break the Song army's circle formation, and the Song army wants to reduce the speed of the Jin army's iron cavalry, and then strangle the knights.

There were many spears, and more than a dozen spears were neatly aligned, stabbing from all sides, making a crisp sound, hitting the armor of the cavalry and horses, making a deafening sound, but they were blocked by the armor leaves, and it was difficult to cause great damage.

And the Jin cavalry drove their horses, like the wind, and rushed forward, and the spearmen who were blocking the front were either killed by the horses or slashed by the long knives of the Jin cavalry.

A large number of cavalry swarmed up, forming an overwhelming momentum, and the spearmen in front of them, losing the buffer of the chariot, were killed in large numbers almost instantly, and almost before they had time to react, the barrels of the guns made of wood were cut off by sharp long knives, and then the heads fell to the ground.

A large number of iron horsemen broke the chariot formation in a few breaths, and then in a dozen breaths, they crushed the spear formation, and the originally well-defended infantry formation almost instantaneously had a sign of collapse.

"Damn, is this the combat power of the Jin Army?" A cold sweat broke out on the face of the seed master. The infantry against the cavalry itself has a huge disadvantage, the infantry can only form a tight formation to defend, while the cavalry can attack at any time, fight if you win, and run if you can't win. The initiative in the war has always been in the hands of the cavalry.

In all generations, infantry against cavalry, it would be good to have three victories in ten battles. And every time the infantry breaks the cavalry, it has to pay a heavy price.

The family has guarded the border passes for generations, and has fought against cavalry twice, which has also allowed the family to accumulate rich combat experience. On the eve of this battle, the seed master repeatedly overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, but now he still finds that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jin army.

Approaching silently, skillfully solving the scouts, a large number of scouts were killed, and it was not until two miles later that a scout did not report the news, and at this time, there was not enough time to end the formation. Then the Jin army made a strong assault, quickly broke the formation, and launched a fierce attack with lightning speed, impacting the army of breeders who had not yet formed a hierarchical formation.

The archers didn't have time to block, the chariots didn't have time to block, the spearmen didn't have time to block, and they were quickly overwhelmed. As soon as the battle began, it was devastating and one-sided, and the infantry formation was about to collapse at any time.

Once the infantry formation is crushed, the 30,000 family troops will be divided and surrounded by cavalry and eaten bite by bite. At that time, if I wanted to escape, I couldn't. In the field, the infantry could not run as fast as the cavalry.

"Breeder Erlang, the time has come to kill the enemy and serve the country, kill it!" The planter roared angrily, slapped his horse forward, and swung his spear to fight over. The battle has reached this moment, which is already the most dangerous moment, and there is no further choice than a desperate battle.

The 3,000 cavalry, who originally planned to attack last, did not spare their hands at this moment, and under the leadership of the Seed Master Dao, they charged towards the cavalry of the Jin army.

The Great Song Dynasty has always lacked horses, and the quality of horses fighting in the army is far inferior to that of the Khitan, Western Xia, and Jin Kingdoms. It can be said that every horse is extremely expensive and regarded as a treasure. In previous battles, it was often the infantry formation that weakened the enemy's cavalry, and when the enemy's cavalry was consumed greatly, it was only then that they brazenly attacked and broke the enemy's weak cavalry in full strength.

There's no way around it.

And those nomads are mostly animal husbandry, is a people on horseback, from childhood to adulthood, all live with horses, for the habits of horses, the types of horses, familiar and familiar, and the compatibility with horses is extremely high, in the battle can play an amazing combat effectiveness.

In the Central Plains, agriculture is the mainstay, and only a very small number of people come into contact with horses. For the habits of horses, the time spent on horses is far from enough. Even after a lot of training, there are great deficiencies in actual combat. It can be said that the Central Plains iron cavalry is far from being the strongest, and the cavalry of the steppe peoples is strong. Under the same number, the Central Plains Iron Cavalry is often the material for defeat.

After fighting at the border over the years, the Seed Master Dao naturally knew the weakness of the Central Plains Iron Cavalry. In order to overcome these weaknesses, in addition to training more in peacetime, the only way to do this is to use the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, use the infantry to weaken the steppe cavalry, and then attack the family cavalry to defeat the enemy

But now, the Jin army's impact is far faster than he expected, and the planned plan is no longer difficult to implement, so he can only fight for the heavy losses of the cavalry, and he has to attack in advance.

"Boom!" Without much hesitation, the cavalry of the Plantation family rushed over, with indifference in their eyes, as if they did not care at all about the imminent death. At this moment, the seed family is facing the danger of life and death, and only by rushing forward can there be a glimmer of life.

The battle has reached this moment, and it has been completely chaotic.

From the moment the cavalry of the Plantation Army attacked, the infantry formation of the Plantation Army was completely chaotic and fell into a chaotic battle. lost the complete formation, and also lost the command of the superiors, just fighting instinct and fighting the blood and courage in his heart, and killed the golden thieves one by one.

The archer, who had already thrown away the human bow and arrow, was useless no matter how good the head was, but picked up the weapon of the fallen robe from the ground and killed the enemy. The spearman swung his spear to stab, avoiding the armor and stabbing into the gaps in the armor. And those axe hands, fighting with their short bodies, kept burrowing into the horse's belly, and then stabbed into the horse's belly, and blood shot rapidly, and he was trampled into flesh.

A spearman swung his spear to stab at the enemy, the spear made a crisp sound and broke, at this time the long knife of the Jin cavalry was sharpened, like lightning, the spearman subconsciously flashed, avoiding the vital point, but the left shoulder was cut off.

"Ahh A scream came, the spearman felt a heart-rending pain, his right hand waved subconsciously, and the broken wooden pole stabbed at the Jin Army's iron horse, pushing vigorously, the iron horseman's body deviated, instantly lost his balance, and fell off the horse.

An infantryman, wielding an axe, chops off the head of a landed horseman.

At this moment, a Jin cavalryman quickly swung a mace and smashed it, and the infantryman's head flew up.

And with the chaotic battle, the speed of the Jin Army's iron cavalry also decreased, lost the overwhelming momentum, and fell into a fight. In the chaotic battle, people kept falling, there were Jin troops and Song troops, but no one cared about these, stepping on the corpses on the ground, with blood on their shoes, and quickly fighting forward

There is no difference between a soldier and a superior, only the difference between life and death, if you want to live, then kill the enemy in front of you.

PS: The fierce war fight began. This is a battle between the family army and the Jurchen iron cavalry.
