Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Battle of Song and Jin
By the time the banquet ended, it was getting late.
Lothar exchanged a few more pleasant words with an imperial nobleman who had a good conversation, and finally left the golden palace.
This kind of ushering and sending is by no means what Lothar is good at.
In the evening, he breathed a sigh of relief from the fresh cool breeze in the palace garden.
He's okay, the empress sitting on the throne, with a majestic face the whole time, is just like the icon in the shrine, that's really tired.
It can be seen that being an emperor is actually a hard job.
Especially if you want to be a Ming Jun.
"Let's go back and rest."
Lothar touched Fryn Gilla's little brain, probably not for a long time, and this touch suddenly felt very good: "Flynn performed well today, which is worthy of praise." ”
Fringira snorted, "Of course, I'm not some little broken child who doesn't know what to do. ”
Jeanne rolled her eyes and didn't kill everyone in the audience, even if she was doing well, "If you really want to be quaflin, you might as well say, 'Good touch is good head.'" ”
Flynn dared not speak in anger, and after a little thought, she turned to Cellina beside her: "Nina, you help me scold her!" ”
"Huh?"
Cellynina seemed a little distracted, blinking her eyes wide in a daze.
Although she is also an ace killer, a double-flower red stick figure of the two Sicilian wolf mafia, where can she scold such a difficult job, she is in a hurry, and at most she speaks a bunch of hot Sicilian dialects.
Lothar glanced at her eyes as calm as water, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
He is very sure that this kind of life is what he wants.
Back at Anna's manor, Lothar was about to wash up briefly, when Jeanne, who had returned from the camp, called him aside and asked seriously: "My lord, I plan to try a combat record tonight, what do you think?" ”
The battle record is an elite item from the system, and Lothar extracted one before and gave it directly to Jeanne.
Jeanne had now been promoted to level 60, twenty levels away from the full level, and at least tens of thousands of Souledes gold coins were needed, so Lothar had always felt that it should be too early for her turn to use the combat record.
Lothar was a little surprised: "Are you sure you can defeat Wanyan Zongbi with an army of five thousand?" ”
At present, the army under his command consists of 100 retained veterans (Eagle Banner Brigade), 100 Varangian Guards (Earl's Guard), more than 20 heavy archers, and more than 20 woodland archers.
Religious knights of the Teutonic Order and the Order of St. Lazarus, about four hundred.
One hundred and twenty-five hussars, and more than one hundred knights.
There are more than 500 peasants and soldiers of the Black Eagle Banner Team.
There were also 900 newly expanded new troops, including 300 light infantry, 100 light cavalry, and 500 heavy infantry.
The regular army totaled more than two thousand people.
Among them, only one-third of them are the most effective and can be called elites, such as the four hundred knights of the Order, most of them are squires.
In addition, if you count those town militias, the security companies in various places may be able to add nearly a thousand people, but these soldiers will most likely not be counted in the army of Lothar.
As for the soldiers of his vassals, Lothar will definitely not be counted among his own soldiers.
Due to the construction of the recruit training camp system, the speed of recruit training has increased by a large margin, but the training time is only one month when the battle is full, and they have not yet been tested in actual combat, so they are obviously not real soldiers.
This kind of military strength is indeed the strongest party under Raymond in Jerusalem, and it is not far behind Renard's heyday.
With a single order, he can even muster an army of tens of thousands.
And when the Jin Wushu was still there, the Jin State was not long after its establishment, and it should be at the peak of its combat power, whether it was the Khitan Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, they were far from their opponents.
The Iron Floating Slaughter under the command of Wanyan Zongbi was one of the top armored shock cavalry in the world at that time.
But after Lothar really mastered the army, it was estimated that this should be a statement made up by the sour and rotten literati who felt that it was difficult for the cavalry to be so neat.
After all, a group of sour and rotten literati in the Song Dynasty were mostly a group of people who talked about soldiers on paper according to the formation of the sorghum river car god, and they knew what a fart of armored cavalry?
Chains were tied to Tiefutu's mounts, and they couldn't figure it out, so did Tiefutu still have mobility?
If one person falls, will the rest of the Tiefutu still have to be dragged on the ground with the dead war horses?
In addition to Tiefutu, Wanyan Zongbi's command should be all light cavalry such as kidnappers and horses, with different degrees of armor, often distributed on both sides of the main formation, taking on the responsibilities of covering the two wings, outflanking, and harassing.
In short, these two kinds of cavalry should be the main components of Wanyan Zongbi's "5,000 Army".
Lothar did not think that this combat record could deliberately make Wanyan Zongbi only lead a group of servant troops composed of Bohai, Xi, Khitan and Han to fight.
In other words, the elite level of your own soldiers is not as good as that of the opponent, and the number is not as good as that of the opponent.
If the Golden Vulture in the world of yesterday's giant ship also possessed extraordinary power, but if she could carry Jeanne's holy spear, the chances of her winning were really slim.
Lothar thought for a moment, and then frowned: "But it doesn't hurt to try, anyway, there are three chances." ”
"But I don't think it's necessarily my business alone."
Jeanne hesitated: "Do you remember the previous mock battle?" It was like a real dream, and I still remember it when I woke up, so I guessed that this time, there was a high probability that we were going to be together. ”
Lothar was slightly stunned.
"No, according to what you say, I'm afraid it's not necessarily us, but everyone."
Thinking like this, Lothar frowned again, what if any of the soldiers under him didn't sleep when Jeanna chose to open the battle record? Will you suddenly pass out?
"Anyway, you should try it tonight."
Lothar said.
"Okay."
Jeanne smiled: "If everyone is really together, then this is a very rare actual combat experience for those recruits." ”
"That's right."
It is difficult for recruits to train their appearance without going to the battlefield, but as soon as it comes up, it is a high-intensity battlefield like the battle of Limassol, and the losses are too serious.
…
After saying goodbye to Jeanne, Lothar, Frigilla, and Cellinina all told them to go to bed on time tonight, and then returned to the room with Pranya.
He held Prajna's hand, and it didn't take long for him to feel sleepiness set in.
Lothar did not resist this sleepiness, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Praruo on the side opened her eyes a little puzzled, but she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness.
When I woke up, the things in front of me had changed dramatically.
Surrounded by thick fog, a group of fleeing peasants, carrying all their belongings, or pushing small carts, ox carts, donkeys and mules, ran on the muddy avenues.
The cries of chickens, ducks, and birds were chaotic, and everyone was in a hurry.
When I looked at myself again, I was actually fully armed, riding on a war horse with scale armor and horse armor, and all the harness and equipment I carried were the same as in reality.
"Sure enough, I was brought in too"
"I just don't know where the others are now? Could it be that Chengdu is scattered? ”
Lothar looked around carefully, with his current mental strength, he naturally didn't need to pinch his thighs to test whether he was in a dream, the truly terrifying dream could even simulate pain.
This kind of combat record, which is similar to a simulated war, feels like reality, but in fact it is just a dream.
"Uncle, what year and month is this?"
In the crowd fleeing from the famine, an old man on crutches was startled by the heavily armed "Hu Ren" general in Lothar's helmet and armor, "Go back to this general." Now is the year of Jingkang. ”
"Where are the Jurchen Tartars?"
You're too embarrassed to mention the word "Tartar".
The old man was slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off on his face, in the troubled times, no one dared to provoke this helmet and armor fighter, even if it was a thief with an army, he had to pay three points for a smile.
Not to mention the Hu man in front of him with bright clothes and gorgeous clothes, not to mention that he is also a captain and a big man at the level of military marquis.
"How do I know about this old man, I only know that as early as a few days ago, Caizhou had been attacked, and that Captain Liu and his soldiers and horses ran faster than anyone else, and it was estimated that they had crossed the Huaishui."
"It's all here, it's expected, it's already the time for the second emperor of Huiqin to hunt in the north and Zhao Jiumei to ascend the throne, at this time, it is already a situation where the sky is falling apart, the Song people have been broken by the Jurchens, dozens of Jurchen cavalry, they can drive hundreds of Song troops like ducks and flee, so if you want to use the power of 'friendly forces', the possibility is very small."
"Moreover, I am afraid that my face will not be able to win people's trust."
Lothar muttered to herself.
Right now, the most important thing is to join Jeanne and the army under her command.
They have just appeared here, their foothold is not stable, if they are immediately besieged by the Jin army, I am afraid that there is no chance for the joint array to protect themselves, although there are three chances, but each time is extremely precious, naturally the longer they can hold on, the better.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask, where is my husband?"
"Shouzhou, a little further south will be Xia Cai, where you can take a ferry to cross the river."
Lothar smiled and drew a cross in front of her, then realized that something was wrong and waved her hand: "Thank you, old man." ”
He touched the place where the money bag was on his body, but unfortunately, the only thing that fell into his dream with him was this armor, and it was estimated that there was still food and straw in the army, but this money bag was not left on his body.
The old man didn't care about Lothar's embarrassment, and saw that this Hu man was not only fluent in Chinese, but also polite, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Jun doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and cross the river." ”
Lothar nodded, and was about to leave, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her.
At this time, it is the time when the morning fog is light.
In the mist, the shadows flashed the figures of more than a dozen cavalrymen, and they were closer, most of them wore moth eyebrow helmets, wearing armor, and the front half of the mount was also covered with sewn simple armor.
Rushing out of the thick fog, they immediately saw a "Hu cavalry" riding a tall horse here, and when a few whistles sounded, more than a dozen cavalry dispersed and outflanked Lothar.
Lothar snorted lightly: "Uncle, you wait and run, let the Sprinkle family go and kill this group of golden dogs." ”
Where will the old man be polite, he responded casually, and ran away into the distance in a hurry, but he was too old, and he was startled by this, his legs and feet were soft, and he couldn't run fast.
The people who fled on the side also quickened their pace, and for a while, the scene was chaotic.
Lothar sat on horseback and put the golden mask on her face.
These cavalrymen, who are most likely golden men and horses, are also very smart, and when they saw Lothar's dress as a man and horse, they also knew that this person had sharp armor, so they took out hammers, maces and other blunt weapons and rushed towards Lothar.
No matter how strong his armor was, the power it transmitted was enough for Lothar.
Lothar swung his mounted spear, lightly clamped the belly of his horse, and rushed towards more than a dozen kidnapping horse cavalry.
The spear was so powerful that he couldn't swing it a few times before he was replaced, and he was about to run out.
But now his strength and physical strength are not what they used to be, even if he does not exert his overdrawn strength, he can use it freely in a short period of time, and he can smash a crutched horse cavalry to a broken tendon and fracture in one face.
A kidnapping horse cavalryman next to him, only listening to the whistling wind in his ears, suddenly turned black in front of him, and he was directly hit in the head by the iron spear in Lothar's hand, and his seven orifices burst out of blood, and he fell from his horse and died.
The more than ten kidnappers originally wanted to divide some of them to intercept and kill the fleeing civilians, but seeing the fierceness of the horses, they immediately dispersed, took off their saddles and rode bows, and patrolled far away.
Others blew their horns, intending to harass them with their bows, delay Lothar, and call for help.
The riding bow in their hands naturally couldn't help the dragon scale armor on Lothar's body, even if it pierced the face door, there was only a slight vibration on the golden mask with the "indestructible" characteristic.
