Chapter 32: The Jurchens are invincible
As soon as the agreement was made, Bai Qi took the eight hundred elites newly recruited by his subordinates and left Moon Lake and rushed towards the former Yellow Horse Grassland, which had now been renamed Black Eagle Ranch by Bai Qi.
Before leaving Moon Lake, Bai Qi left Qixing a large sum of money, allowing him to order armor and horse armor from everywhere at any cost, and to buy tall horses suitable for heavy cavalry to ride.
The heavy cavalry of the Jin Kingdom is very famous, and to deal with the heavy cavalry, Bai Qi must have a heavy cavalry force in his hands.
Three days later, Bai Qi led a large army to the Black Eagle Ranch, which had not changed much from when they left, except that there were more wooden houses under construction around the stockade by the pond.
Bai Qi did not have any dissatisfaction with this, they came to complete the task, not to farm and build.
The day after arriving at the Black Eagle Ranch, Bai Qi received a message from the letter eagle.
The four major horse thieves in the northwest, the black wolf has the figure of the Tibetan nobles behind him, the Mongolian steppe behind Hu Moor, and the golden scorpion has a close relationship with the Western Liao Kingdom, and the yellow sand thieves who have been dominating the Western Regions before can't have a backstage.
The backstage of the Yellow Sand Pirates is the Western Xia Kingdom behind them, and the former big boss can occupy Moon Lake, although the martial arts means are one thing, the tough backstage behind is also an important reason.
The national strength of the Western Liao State is declining, and the western part has been continuously invaded by the Flower Thorn Country, and it has been declining.
Although the national strength of Tubo is strong, its national center is far away from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, separated from the Hexi Corridor by mountains, and it is beyond the reach of the northwest horse thieves.
Although Mongolia in the north was born as a day, it was not yet completely unified internally, and there was no time to look westward.
Western Xia Party Xiang Qiang. With the spirit of martial piety, the emperors of all dynasties were enlightened. With a small amount of land, the entire Great Song Dynasty was exhausted. Its strength can be seen.
The hometown of the Hexi Corridor, where horse thieves are rampant, is next to the Western Xia, and the influence of the Western Xia Kingdom on this place is incomparable to other countries.
After Bai Qi seized the control of the Yellow Sand Bandits, he immediately sent people to take treasures to the warlords in the northwest of Western Xia.
The warlords of the northwest of Western Xia, who used to support the great boss of Huangsha, were also a little caught off guard by the changes in the Huangsha bandits, and in addition, Black Eagle, who had half of the party's blood, was also responsible for liaison with the Western Xia warlords, so he took over Huangsha's connections among the Western Xia warlords.
The letter eagle message that Bai Qi had just received came from Western Xia.
It is believed that the 2,000 iron cavalry sent by the Jin State to intercept the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty had approached the Hexi Corridor from the northern border of Western Xia.
This Jin Iron Cavalry originally wanted to recruit the armies of Western Xia and nearby Mongol tribes as an army, but. The Mongols have gradually become unified and strong, and they have gradually lost their eyes on the nominal suzerainty of the Jin State, not to mention that the Great Song envoys themselves were sent to Mongolia, and of course they were unwilling to obey the Jin State's conscription.
The Western Xia Kingdom was also very wary of the strength of the Jin State, and they did not want to see the Jin State completely defeat the Song Dynasty, if that happened, the Western Xia of the Land of Projectiles, no matter how enlightened the government was, would not be able to resist the unified army of the Jin State.
Thus. The Western Xia Kingdom also used various excuses to shirk the requisition of the Jin State, but in order not to completely offend the Jin State, the Western Xia Kingdom promised to supply grain and grass to this Jin State Iron Cavalry.
In fact, the reason why the Jin State was so nervous about the Great Song envoys. In addition to being wary of the growing Mongol tribes, there is also a historical reason.
In that year, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State were in confrontation. The Great Song Dynasty was defeated and had no choice but to pay tribute. But he was not convinced, and at this time, the Great Song monarchs heard that there were Jurchens behind the Liao State who rebelled. Someone, like today, proposed to send envoys to unite with the Jurchens to attack the Liao State in the north and south.
The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time adopted this Jianyì and sent envoys to contact the Jurchens.
The Jurchens were fighting against the Liao State at that time, and they wished for this ally to be sent to the door, so the two sides signed an alliance to jointly attack the Liao State.
The Liao State was defeated by the Jurchens' attack, and retreated, and finally even the emperor was captured by the Jurchens, and only one remnant fled to the Western Regions, which is now the Western Liao State.
In this war to destroy the Liao State, the Jurchens were shocked by their toughness, but the weakness and incompetence of the Song army also shocked the Jurchens.
The Liao army was defeated in the face of the Jurchen attack, but when these defeated Liao troops turned to face the Song army, they were immediately invincible.
The incompetence of the Song army and the opulence of the Song state immediately aroused the coveting of the Jurchens, and almost as soon as the war to destroy the Liao was over, the Jin state established by the Jurchens launched an invasion against the Great Song Dynasty.
Song and Liao fought against each other for a hundred years, and the Great Song Dynasty finally won, but ushered in an even more tragic fate.
Today, the Northern Union of the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia is almost a copy of the Song and Jin Dynasty that jointly destroyed Liao, and Jin Guoyan can not pay attention to it and not be nervous.
After reading this news, Bai Qi immediately contacted the nine space soldier teams that he had taken in before.
All nine of these teams have now succeeded in capturing their respective bands of horse thieves, but they have captured small and medium-sized gangs, the largest ones are no more than 400 people, and the small ones are only about 200 people.
From the mouths of these people, Bai Qi also knew that in addition to these nine teams, there were also four teams that had captured the horse thief gang that had descended with the help of external forces.
In this way, the space warriors have already controlled eighteen horse thieves, although most of these eighteen horse thieves are small teams of no more than three hundred, but they add up to five or six thousand.
This number has an absolute advantage over the two thousand Jin Guo Iron Cavalry, but how can the horse thief and the Jin Guo Iron Horse be compared?
When the Jurchen people were rising, there was a rumor that "the Jurchens were less than 10,000 and invincible."
At this time, although the Jurchen Iron Cavalry was no longer at its peak, it was by no means something that a horse thief could compete with.
After ending the communication with Sherlock Holmes and other leaders, Bai Qi touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and said to himself: "Frontal charge, let alone five or six thousand horse thieves, even if it is twenty thousand horse thieves, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the charge of two thousand Jurchen iron horsemen, but what if it is a bad battle?" ……”
Speaking of this, he smiled, his heart moved, and called out the character panel.
Bai Qi initiated a remote video conference with the leaders of the other seventeen Space Troop teams.
When the space soldier reaches the rank of corporal, the authority of the soldier's insignia will be greatly increased, first of all, the communication distance will be greatly increased, the paid communication distance of the insignia of soldiers below the corporal level will not exceed 100 kilometers, and after reaching the corporal, the communication distance will increase by leaps and bounds to 1,000 kilometers. It is also possible to initiate a video conference with a soldier who knows the contact method within the communication range. (To be continued......)
