In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

General Lothar, the Grand Knight Commander has an order, ordering you to join the Hussars Company immediately and be ready to attack at any time to assist the Chinese army.

Attack?

The county captain, Liu Bowu, and the county magistrate who had just hurriedly climbed onto the city wall all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Facing the fierce power of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry, even standing on the city wall, they had the illusion that they would be crushed into flesh by the steel torrent in an instant, let alone take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Lothar did not explain, but just smiled and said: Everyone, General Da has given an order for us to go out of the city to fight the Jin people. All you need to do is rely on the city wall and support with bows and arrows when the enemy approaches.

If our army wins this battle, we will naturally not mention anything.

Even if we don't win, we can still defeat most of the main force of the Jin people. By then, the Jin people will have absolutely no energy left to attack the city.

Everyone was slightly startled, and they all suddenly felt like they were breathing a sigh of relief because they didn't have to fight the golden man.

But Liu Bowu and others couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts: This Hu general has no family here and has no responsibility to defend the land, so why should he fight for them?

Seeing Lothar leaving in a hurry.

Some people couldn't help but whisper: These people must be crazy. They go out to fight against the golden dogs. If they lose, should we open the city gate or not?

But at this moment.

Lothar seemed to have heard his mutterings and paused slightly: If our army is defeated, there is no need to open the city gate. The people of Qingshui County should come first.

The people at the top of the city looked at each other, feeling both ashamed and relieved that they did not have to undergo moral torture.

The scout Qingqi who delivered the order helped Lothar get on his horse.

He looked at Marshal Gil, who had formed a formation in front of the city gate and was preparing to attack, and nodded slightly. Next, Marshal Gil would take charge of the central army.

He and Jeanne respectively commanded more than 700 cavalry, including one hundred scout cavalry, one hundred and twenty-five winged cavalry, twenty-five mounted archers, four hundred order knights, and one hundred order knights.

The city gate creaked open.

The remaining veterans at the forefront drove dozens of Hussite chariots drawn by mules, horses and livestock, and took the lead to leave the city.

The Jin people started out as fishermen and hunters. Their tactics varied a lot, but generally they still relied on heavy cavalry to stand out and light cavalry to outflank them on both sides. Forming with their backs against the city wall, they could avoid worries in the first place.

The so-called battle behind the city is just that.

The Hussite chariot is actually a unique vehicle fort that requires four horses and carries small-caliber muskets and artillery. It is regarded as the nemesis of the cavalry.

This tactic has been widely used in both East and West.

The chariots temporarily requisitioned and modified by Lothar's army were naturally much simpler than the real Hussite chariots.

Just some reinforced box carriages with some shooting holes and iron plates added.

They were pushed out of the city gate with a squeak, connected first, and quickly relied on the city wall to form a bowl-shaped formation that was buckled upside down on the city wall.

After the chariots and horses were in place, the pack animals were unloaded, and the head and tail of each chariot were connected with iron ropes to prevent enemy cavalry from breaking in through the gaps between the chariots.

At the same time, the chariot was also covered with a heavy, bulging quilt that had been soaked in water. This was to prevent the enemy from using fire attack tactics and igniting the simple wooden carriage.

Due to the limited preparation time, this can only be done to this extent.

The woodland shooters got into the carriage, looking uneasily from the shooting holes at the dark Jin cavalry that seemed to be motionless in the distance.

The remaining veterans commanded the peasants and soldiers and began to set up simple traps such as iron caltrops in front of the vehicle formation. All the knights of the order were taken away uniformly, and the strength of the infantry army was unprecedentedly weak.

Gill looked solemnly at the Jinguo cavalry in the distance, which had already begun to move, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Either they don't give them a chance to ventilate, or they have to face such a harsh situation as soon as they come out. One thousand and fifty infantry have to face five thousand cavalry. This girl Jeanne really thinks highly of herself.

The enemy is moving!

Gil shouted at the top of his lungs: Everyone retreat to the car base and prepare to meet the enemy!

Lothar and Jeanne reunited.

More than 700 cavalrymen in armor and strong armor were arrayed in front of the side gate of the city.

They seemed to have no qualms about appearing in this foreign country for no reason to fight against the powerful Jin cavalry, but the faces of recruits like the scout cavalry company could not help but show a little nervousness about entering the battlefield for the first time.

Jeanne held the iron helmet in her arms with an indifferent expression: When people are dreaming, no matter how outrageous the dream is, they often don't realize it at all. This is probably the reason.

Seeing that Lothar's face was not very good, she lowered her voice slightly and said, This time I am acting arbitrarily. Next time, I will definitely listen to you.

Lothar said hmm.

He could actually understand Jeanne's concerns. Some people said that sheep led by a male lion can be better than a pride of lions led by a sheep.

But in fact, the flaw in the former will only be bigger than that in the latter.

From the beginning to the end, Jeanne had no idea of ​​fighting side by side with these Song Xiang troops or militiamen. Mixing the sheep into the lions would only make the lions lose their courage.

The tactic of driving sheep and devouring wolves was not only easy to use for Na, but also for the Jin who came from a fishing and hunting background.

What's more, the Jin people have been fighting this kind of battle of driving sheep and devouring wolves since they went south.

Seventeen Jin cavalrymen drove 2,000 Song troops into hiding and lost nearly half of them. Lothar told Jeanne about the battle story.

There were only seventeen people. Even if they had three heads and six arms, the Song army that could really kill only number one hundred and ten people. The rest would trample each other to death.

Jeanne stretched out her hand to press her eyebrows and muttered: Jill told me that the enemy has sent out the first hundred troops to launch a tentative attack on the car base.

As a guardian knight, Gill has a special connection with Jeanna, which allows Jeanna not only to receive news from Gill, but also to gain insight into the enemy's situation through Gill's eyes.

Hopefully they can handle the pressure.

Lothar sighed lightly. Their cavalry could only have the final say by attacking at the most critical moment of the war.

Otherwise, you will be easily intercepted by enemy cavalry several times your own.

outside the city.

Jin Wushu (zhu) or Wanyan Zongbi was in a bad mood at the moment.

He never expected that the former army under his command would be buried in such a place inexplicably.

This Song man from Qingshui County dares to kill my envoy. The group of enemies who ambushed my front army must be hiding here!

Jin Wushu knew the integrity of these so-called Song people very well. He led his troops to kill them all the way, and all the counties and cities closed their gates tightly and allowed him to send troops to plunder the countryside.

If he hadn't been in a hurry and wanted to go south to capture the Zhao Song official family, he would have frightened the county magistrate with just a brief siege and offered them wine, meat, beautiful women, gold, silver and treasures for them to use.

The Han people under Jin Wushu joined the army and remonstrated: Fourth Prince, our pursuit has been deep enough. Now you only bring half a million soldiers and horses of your own. If something goes wrong, Deputy Commander Talan can explain it to you. Don’t go there.”

Oh, how can a mere Song Dynasty man be so virtuous? He is a coward but not a warrior. If a woman is like this, I can conquer the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers with my five thousand soldiers and horses.

Jin Wushu looked contemptuous, but in his heart, he also had the idea of ​​returning home.

After all, not all of the Song people were freeloaders. For example, a Taoist in Tsing Yi who went to assassinate Wanyan Talan some time ago was extremely skilled in swordsmanship. In front of hundreds of his own soldiers, he almost killed the great Jin Kingdom. Marshal Zuo Jianjun's head.

Fortunately, Wanyan Tarlan had two shamans by his side, who cast spells to drive away the man.

Now, I am alone in the depths. If I lose a few hundred soldiers in this county, there is really no need to go south.

Anyway, I need to destroy Qingshui County first and avenge my sons.

Jin Wushu clutched his hand and said, Give me the order to cut down the wood and collect materials, and prepare to build the siege equipment. On the day the city is broken, all male and female slaves, gold and silver treasures will belong to the men and women.

Jiang Jun suddenly seemed to see something he couldn't believe, and said in surprise: Fourth Prince, look!

Jin Wushu followed the sound with some confusion, and saw that the city gate suddenly opened, and soldiers lined up neatly, driving chariots and horses, filed out of the city gate.

Are these Song people going to leave the city and surrender to me?

Joining the army admonished: Fourth Prince, beware of the enemy's deception!

Jin Wushu was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: If something unusual happens, you must be careful. I want to see what tricks this Song man is up to.

At the moment, the army under his command is approaching Qingshui County. The two sides are thousands of meters apart. If this distance is ignored, the kidnap horses under his command can reach the city wall within a few minutes.

However, Jin Wushu did not seize this opportunity. Instead, he ordered the entire army not to act rashly.

Until, in the car base, a golden double-headed eagle flag was suddenly erected, and hundreds of bloody heads were pulled by the hair by the Song Army and tied to the cars and horses.

Jin Wushu's eyes were filled with tears: Sure enough, these Song people did a good job. They thought that by setting up a layer of chariot barriers, they could resist the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom. I want them to pay with their blood!

Hundreds of cavalrymen were dispatched first. These light cavalry did not directly attack the carriage base, but tentatively wandered around and shot with mounted bows.

But as soon as they got close, they suffered heavy losses.

The woodland archers brought down more than ten riders with one volley of fire. The hundred-pound bows in their hands were like medieval snipers, with accurate shooting skills and amazing power.

The three hundred light infantrymen trained in the recruit training camp were mostly from Orion backgrounds, and their shooting skills were quite good. They relied on the vehicle base to shoot at the enemy cavalry. In the blink of an eye, more than ten more cavalry were shot down.

Although this kidnapping horse is a light cavalry, everyone wears half-body armor. A few people even have their mounts covered with half-body armor that blocks arrows. It is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate.

Moreover, at this time, the Song army at the top of the city also exerted its strength.

They may be timid in close combat with the Jin people, but they can still shoot at the enemy from a distance while standing on the tower.

Although the two giant crossbows with divine arms were old antiques from the county's arsenal, they were extremely powerful. Once they hit, they could nail people and horses to the ground.

The cavalry and shooting tactics of the Jin Renguaizima seemed a bit insignificant when facing the car barriers and Lothar's well-armored infantry.

Jin Wushu, who was observing the battle situation from a distance, changed his expression slightly. Faced with this car barrier that was as difficult to swallow as a hedgehog, he immediately decided to order these kidnappers to withdraw, and Tiefu Tu would launch a frontal attack.

The fighting methods of the Iron Buddha heavy cavalry are actually quite similar to those of the Sasanian and Eastern Roman armored cavalry. They are all versatile cavalry that are skilled in bow and horse and can ride and shoot, as well as attack enemy positions in close combat.

When attacking the city, Tiefutu can also dismount and climb the city.

On the battlefield, there is always a disadvantage.

Jin Wushu believed that although these Song troops ambushed his former army with conspiracy and tricks, their strength and number were limited. As long as Tiefu Tu went to battle, they would be able to easily crush their ridiculous turtle shells.
