Chapter 065: Mongolian Iron Horse

Soon, Tianxing had been teaching Guo Jing for more than three months, and he let Guo Jing climb the cliff by himself every day, and when he really couldn't go further, Tianxing took him up to exercise Guo Jing's light skills.

Guo Jing studied martial arts with six masters on weekdays, and he never returned all night, and his mother never asked, so he came and went so late, and no one found out.

He meditated on the top of the cliff every night to practice qi, his muscles and bones became stronger and stronger, and his skills became more and more flexible.

The six monsters of Jiangnan only said that he had grown up, and after practicing diligently, he finally suddenly realized that he was happy in his heart, but he didn't know that Tianxing was helping him in secret.

As the winter passed, Temujin's tribe grew larger, and Celestial often saw victorious soldiers returning from victory, as well as gold, silver, cattle, horses, and women they had captured.

The Mongol cavalry has always liked to fight in winter, and the grass is dry in winter, and only by constantly plundering can they strengthen themselves.

This expansion was normal for Temujin, and for all the Mongols.

But Lai Tianxing knew that such unscrupulous aggression and slaughter would bring about the destruction of other races and the decline of his own race - the wolves were too strong, and the sheep would eventually be eaten, and when the time came, what awaited the wolves would be destroyed.

On his way back from his expedition to the west, Temujin taught his descendants the famous aphorism: "The greatest pleasure in life is to slay down all the enemies, to rob them of all their possessions, to see their relatives weep bitterly, to ride their horses, to rape their wives and daughters." ”

In Temujin's eyes, all the people of the world who did not want to be slaughtered by them, who did not want to be plundered by them, who did not want to be enslaved by them, were their enemies, and his slogan was "to turn all the land covered by the blue sky into the pastures of the Mongols"

This fully illustrates the main purpose of the Mongol war at that time - conquest and plunder.

The destructive power of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry was astonishing, and according to the statistics of later generations, the slaughter of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry was unprecedented in the world, slaughtering 200 million people!

When the Mongols destroyed the Jin State, the number of people slaughtered in the north was about 40 million, and when the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the number of people slaughtered in the Southern Song Dynasty was about 24 million, that is to say, the most conservative estimate is that at least more than 60 million people were slaughtered in the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Emperor Wanyan and his family were all slaughtered, and there was no Wanyan surname in the world again.

In addition, the Mongol Empire also exterminated the Dangxiang people in Western Xia and the Khitan people in Liaodi.

When Tianxing lived in Shaolin Temple as a teenager, he felt that he only needed to be a hero and be accompanied by beautiful women.

But after he went down the mountain, he found that this generation not only had martial arts masters, but also bloody national battles.

At this moment, Tianxing's martial arts are almost invincible, he is confident that Qiu Qianren, and even Ouyang Feng is not a threat to him, and the Mongolian army is the biggest threat to him and all the Southern Song people.

Tianxing didn't know much about this period of history, and he didn't know when the Southern Song Dynasty would perish, but he also knew that it wouldn't be too far away - didn't Guo Jing die in the Battle of Xiangyang!

What Tianxing wanted to do, hoping to encompass the existence of the Southern Song Dynasty and prevent, at least delay, the southern invasion of the Mongols.

It doesn't matter if he is afraid of death, whether he is a national righteousness, or whether he is just a mantis arm as a car, but Tianxing really wants to do his part.

Tianxing had studied Wu Mu's suicide note in the ancient tomb, and he had also turned over the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and he also looked at the thirty-six strategies when he was bored.

He knew that such a major military event could not be changed by him as a small person, although he was strong in martial arts, he was still a small person in front of the cavalry army.

At this moment, he was in the midst of the Mongol army, and Tianxing wanted to study the Mongols' combat methods to see if they were so impregnable and whether they were really invincible.

Even if there is only one in 10,000 hopes, Tianxing wants to give it a try.

After three months of mixing with Guo Jing, Tianxing already occupied a very important position in his heart, and Tianxing asked Guo Jing to find some Mongolian military armor, which was not difficult for Guo Jing, after all, he was also a popular man in front of Temujin.

At this moment, Guo Jing was holding the equipment of the cavalry and showing it to Tianxing.

"Brother Xue, this is the armor they use. ”

Guo Jing pointed to some leather armor helmets and said.

In the Mongol army, only heavy cavalry wore helmets, leather armor or chain mail, and their weapons were spears.

The light cavalry only wore helmets, and their weapons were the famous bows and arrows.

Tianxing pulled a bow, and the pulling force was about one or two hundred catties, such a strength was naturally nothing to Tianxing, but at this time, how could ordinary soldiers have such arm strength, but the Mongolian cavalry had tens of thousands of such soldiers.

And this was not the most terrible thing for them, the Mongol cavalry was selected from among the best trained soldiers of the time.

From the age of three or four, they were sent to schools in the Gobi Desert for rigorous training in horseback riding and archery, so they had an amazing ability to harness horses and use weapons.

For example, he can turn around and shoot enemies after him when he retreats quickly.

The lethality of such a bow and arrow is amazing, and the enemies of the Mongol iron cavalry often lose the war and lose their lives on it.

Tianxing picked up a silk robe from the ground, this silk seemed to be made of raw silk, and it was very finely woven, you must know that silk has always been an expensive object, how could it be widely used in the Mongol army?

Guo Jing explained: "This is the clothes that the soldiers wear inside, and every soldier has it, because the Great Khan found it difficult for arrows to penetrate this silk garment, and only inserted the arrows and cloths into the wounds. If a warrior is shot with a bow or arrow, the arrow can be pulled out of the wound by simply pulling the silk out. ”

Tianxing admired in his heart, Temujin was really ingenious!

Tianxing asked again: "Then what kind of horses are they ride, I think they are all well-bred breeds." ”

Tianxing doesn't understand horses, he only knows that in the TV series, whenever there is a BMW, it must be a "big horse"

"A Thousand Miles a Day"

, that is, Guo Jing will have a "sweat and blood BMW" in the future

Guo Jing shook his head and said: "The horses used by the Great Khan are not of a good breed, they are just grazing on the grassland every day, and they live in the wild regardless of the harsh winter and heat, and the soldiers are not allowed to interfere. ”

"Yes, the horse's stamina must be excellent!"

Tianxing knew in his heart that if they were all BMWs and the food was no worse than people, then Jin Gui would not be able to fight.

Guo Jing said: "Yes, those horses have excellent endurance, even if they don't eat grain and grass for a few days, there is no problem." By the way, those horses are mares, and there are no exceptions. ”

"Mare? ”

Tianxing was puzzled, among mammals, males tend to have a physical advantage over females, since they are war horses, males are stronger, wouldn't it be better?

Guo Jing said: "If the war horse is a mare, then the soldiers don't need to bring rations, no matter whether they are thirsty or hungry, they just need to drink mare's milk." ”

Tianxing was stunned, the endurance of the war horses was excellent, there was no need for food and grass, and the cavalry only needed to drink mare's milk, so wouldn't it be any kind of baggage?

The speed of the march is really impressive!

(I don't want to write about military affairs, and I guess everyone doesn't want to read it, but Jin Yong's martial arts are like this, they all have the background of the times, and it's not good to ignore them completely.)

Besides, it's really shooting the eagle, in this turbulent era, write a little bit)
