Fan Zhuo's distant relatives led 5,000 elite horsemen to meet the battle.

Before going to battle, Li Gang went to dissuade him, "Hengwu, I know that you have always been brave, your training is strict, and your combat strength is also superior to that of all armies.

But this time, the front army of the Jin Army exceeded 10,000 after all, and all of them were elite cavalry. As the saying goes: The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible, and if your 5,000 elites are defeated, it can have a great impact on the morale of the defenders. ”

Fan Zhuoyuan respects Li Gang very much, although the two have been unhappy, but at this time, they are together to resist insults, that is, they are companions on the same front, and a little grudge in the past is of course not a problem.

"The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 people, and they are invincible, which is both their honor and their shackles.

Once broken, will the fear of the enemy among the armies be greatly reduced? ”

"The most important thing is, Hengwu, can you break this myth!"

Fan Zhuoyuan said angrily: "There is never a myth in the world that cannot be broken, unless you dare not break it!" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the five thousand elite horsemen who had lined up on his side, all of them were one person and three horses, some of these horses were accumulated by Fan Zhuoyuan in the past two years in the grassland to fight grass valley training, and the other part was contributed by the Khitan herdsmen in Yandi.

Of course, most of them were bought by the Northern Song Dynasty government, after all, it was impossible for the Jin people to be stationed in the grassland for a long time, and after the fall of the Liao regime, the herdsmen on the grassland loved to trade with the Central Plains, and without middlemen, the price of war horses became extremely cheap.

This group of cavalry was not all unarmored light cavalry on the surface, in fact, a cavalryman wore three horses, two of which were charging war horses and one was a pack horse for carrying things.

The pack horse is carrying a set of heavy armor, and before the battle, it will be equipped with the whole body of the horse with the help of the soldiers of Tongzhou County, and it will immediately become a heavy horse with a horse harness!

Moreover, the 5,000 cavalry, of which 4,000 are Khitan and Xi, all have a bitter hatred with the Jin people, and the morale of the army naturally does not need to be doubted.

When Fan Zhuoyuan built this army, it was made with reference to the 3,000 Jingsai army in the early Song Dynasty.

The 3,000 Jingsai army rode five horses, equipped with horses and horses, and the horses were Dawan horses, of course, this is doubtful, because the Northern Song Dynasty could not get the war horses of the Western Regions at all, and it is very likely that they were made up by later generations.

Fan Zhuoyuan used one horse and three horses, and the war horses were also carefully selected from the horses raised by the Khitans, and even some of them were Hexi horses purchased from Hehuang, so they could afford to be equipped with horses and horses.

He said to Li Gang: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the essence of cavalry is probably no more than this. Besides, the sergeants all have enmity with the enemy, and their morale is available, if we don't fight, I'm afraid we can only sit back in the city and watch the Jin people plunder the four fields, and even directly attack the Beijing division in the south.

Even if you lose, the worst result is just a suffocation, and compared with the two, it is more cost-effective to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight. ”

Li Gang had something to say, Fan Zhuoyuan picked up the dragon slayer knife and got on the horse and said: "Li Xuanfu, the military aspects are handled by me and the king, and the government affairs and civil affairs are handled by you, and these war matters will be handed over to our vulgar warriors!" ”

Saying that, commanding the whole army to go out of the city, Li Gang looked at it in a daze, and sighed helplessly.

Wang Yu said on the side: "Li Xuanfu doesn't have to worry, General Fan has not been out of the grassland in the past two years to pretend to be horse bandits to attack the Jin people, and he has a lot of relevant combat experience, and most of the subordinate cavalry have a deep hatred with the Jin people, all of them are people who sacrifice their lives and forget death. ”

Li Gang said helplessly: "I hope so, by the way, you said that he has not been out of the jam to pretend to be a horse bandit in the past two years?" ”

Wang Yu knew that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly ran away under the pretext of excuses.

Fan Zhuoyuan rode a horse and carried a knife, but the Hexi horse under him still ran very briskly, feeling extremely lightweight.

This is because in the past two years, Fan Zhuoyuan's internal cultivation has been extremely fast, and he has already cultivated the first chapter of Dao Heart Demon Cultivation and the Book of Changes Bone Forging, and has also refined the internal strength of Buddhism on the Eight Senses of Bliss.

After that, he practiced the twelve branches of the flower room and the illusion demon body method.

Nowadays, the seemingly huge body can become extremely light under the condition of running internal strength.

Just like Mu Qingyan riding a horse, it is as if there are no weights on the horse's back, and it is no slower than a horse without weight.

This is the magic of light power, which Fan Zhuoyuan can't do no matter how he cultivates external skills.

Of course, the innate realm represents the level of cultivation rather than actual combat, and when it reaches this realm, all the true qi of the body is turned into innate true qi, and the true qi in the dantian is full and full of the limit, and it is impossible to continue to accumulate, but the recovery speed can be very fast.

Compared with the cultivation of the acquired realm, the true qi is purer, so flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, and at the same time, the endurance is also stronger, and the chance of winning the internal force competition is greater.

In addition, if it is compared to actual combat, it may not be much stronger than the peak of the day after tomorrow.

After all, the world of martial arts is not a fantasy world, and it is not a cultivation realm that is strong or infinite.

Two years ago, Duguhong's cultivation did not break through the innate realm, and the power of the future can defeat Jin Zhezhi, who has the innate realm.

Including the Datang Shuanglong World, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Bafenghan and others, are often able to leapfrog and challenge their cultivation to become senior masters who have grown up for decades.

These all directly show that innate is not the only criterion for judging the level of strength, but also includes actual combat experience, actual combat state, will, martial arts true intention, exercise characteristics and many other aspects.

Therefore, although Fan Zhuoyuan's internal strength is inherent, it is still inferior to his external strength system at this time.

However, when it is used for horseback combat, it is much stronger than in the external power system.

Nowadays, he uses the external power system for foot warfare, and the internal power system for cavalry warfare, and the intermediate switching time is about 60 breaths, which is enough to ensure comprehensiveness.

Fan Zhuoyuan led his troops to Tongzhou County, gathered 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to come to the bank of the Lushui River, and waited for the vanguard of the Jin State to come.

The 10,000 pioneers of the Jin Kingdom soon appeared on the other side of the river, at this time it was the autumn dry season, and the Lushui River was shallow and narrow, and could not become an important natural hazard.

But Jin Bing still stopped vigilantly and looked at the horse team opposite.

Fan Zhuo Yuance stepped forward immediately, "Let you cross the river in two quarters of an hour, and then fight a decisive battle, dare!" ”

On the other side, General Jin and his deputy looked at each other, and General Jin said a bunch of Jurchen words to Fan Zhuoyuan.

Then the Khitan translator who was proficient in Chinese beside him shouted: "Since you are waiting for Song Jiang to be so kind, why don't we dare!" ”

Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the whole army to retreat 300 steps, and the Jin army really began to officially cross the river, in order to prevent the Song army from sneaking attack, they swam across at the same time in three places.

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't attack, but just ordered the auxiliaries to wear armor for the whole army, he just wanted to fight a frontal rout!

In terms of military morale and morale, give the arrogant Jin Bing an unforgettable lesson.

The well-trained cavalry was quick to armor and lined up like a wall!

What formation is used for heavy cavalry assault? The most common is of course the most penetrating striker!

But Fan Zhuoyuan used the wall riding array, a modern cavalry tactic.
