Section 166 The rule of the barbarian

Before he could fight seriously, he died a heavy general in the front of the cavalry, and he was hooked by a javelin dozens of feet away, and the strength of the Jin army was so fierce that the Bohai Navy was in an uproar in horror.

But the more panicked and chaotic the battlefield, the more unlucky it will be.

Immediately, countless javelins came with a seeping whistling, and this time the Jin Army's Zahu cavalry followed in time........ The Bohai cavalry was again dismounted......

Since the beginning of the war, the Bohai Navy has always maintained its military formation and remained still, and the cavalry did not immediately and flexibly attack to close the distance that their opponent could attack as soon as possible, nor did they hurry to strive for the passive ........ of reversing the headwind. It seems that he does not know how to quickly let the horse run to form the most important impact force of the cavalry, and let the opponent force him to gradually strengthen this advantage, so he actually waits to stand there and rely on the so-called advantage of the dense army formation to meet the fierce impact...... The generals of the Bohai Navy were arrogant and confident in their mouths, and they were not afraid of the Jin Army, but they were extremely afraid and cowardly in their bones, which was exposed. Of course, it is not only the leadership's fear of death and timidity that is exposed, but also the officers and men of the Bohai Navy, whose rash puffed up skin will be broken as soon as it is struck......

The most important thing is to expose that the Bohai people do not know how to fight at all, or at least are not proficient...... At this time, he was still relying on tactical plans and fantasies.......

They believe that with the absolute superiority of their own elite soldiers, when they get entangled in melee combat with the Jin army, six or seven to fight one, even if they only rely on the pile of people, they can pile up the Jin army. It's hard for a good man to beat four hands....... The Jurchens did not have three heads and six arms.

The cavalry of the Jin Army threw a few javelins in a few blink of an eye, killing most of the counterattack that the Bohai people had just entered the firing range collapsed, and the lucky Bohai cavalry, who were not killed or wounded, was also in chaos...... The Jin army also burst out with confidence and bravery, and their morale was even stronger, and then under the command of the leading Jin general, they showed their melee weapons, violently increased their horse speed, and quickly gathered from the scattered formation into several cone-shaped formations while running, roaring and roaring and crashing into the Bohai naval formation......

Yang Yizhong, who was on the top of the mountain, was shocked to see the weapons of the Jin army's miscellaneous beards: there were very few serious weapons such as scimitars.

The miscellaneous beards are too poor to be worthy of serious iron weapons, and they don't have the manufacturing capacity, of course, it is also the result of the long-term control and restrictions of the Liao State. The Jurchens are also poor, and there are no extra weapons to be rationed to the franchisees, and even if they do, they will not be rationed, so they have to prevent these newly attached guys from getting cheaper and bigger and better weapons and backing up the Jurchens........ The vast majority of barbarians wield the mace, which is an extraordinarily thick and heavy wooden stick, with wolf teeth, bone awls, broken iron nails, and so on. Some are simply pure wood, the head of the mace is the branch that has been shortened and sharpened, the few have three or four duck eggs thick or even thicker sharp branches, and the more have seven or eight branches, the same antlers but not ridiculous, it is still extremely powerful and even terrifying, it is a killing weapon, so that the Bohai cavalry wielded knives and guns and even dazzled and did not know how to resist, a guy in the head had to die, a guy on the body was pumped, the internal organs were injured, and the branch was hung casually, and the horse had to be hung up in the strong horsepower impact...... In the trampling of thousands of horses, the consequences of falling off the horse are needless to say.

Even the weapons of the miscellaneous beards are still so primitive and lacking in iron, it is even more impossible to equip such complex high-end goods as iron armor in large quantities, and it requires a large and strong enough force composed of the dual factors of extremely rich and advanced civilization to have the ability to form a large-scale iron armor configuration for the army.

Military equipment has always been closely linked to comprehensive national strength. Poor countries and poor organization forces, give him an aircraft carrier and B2 bomber for nothing, and he can't afford to use it.

With the most advanced technology, material foundation and the ingenuity and diligence of the Han people in this era, it often takes several craftsmen and even more than half a year to make a qualified iron armor. With the wealth of the Song State and the strength of the Liao State, it is impossible to equip the country's most elite army with iron armor.

The army of the Song State - the Western Army, the vast majority of soldiers can be mixed with bamboo and wood rope simple to wear armor, usually can only wear military uniforms to the battlefield, better paper armor leather armor is not the average soldier can count on a large number of equipment, paper armor is not paper, the defense is better than leather armor, is a special invention of the Song Kingdom, so that the manufacturing process is complex and difficult. And leather armor, that is the advantage of the nomads, the Song State lacked armor skin, so it bothered to create and invent paper armor to make up for it. Not to mention the iron armor. Ordinary generals and colonels are also not eligible to wear iron armor, unless they are specially given by the leader for special reasons of identity or combat effectiveness.......

As in the TV series, there are crowds of people, all armor and colored silk....... Mighty and beautiful, it is impossible in the reality of history. If you can assemble such an army, it would have swept the world a long time ago, and you would still use fathers, sons, and brothers to fight frantically for that bit of power and wealth, where can you not conquer and enslave and trample under your feet?

In history, Yue Fei had an elite army of 100,000, supported by most of the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty, and he did his best to only assemble 800 elite cavalry in iron armor....... The Qing Emperor Nurhachi initially had eighteen pairs of iron armor to pull up a regime, and finally destroyed the Ming Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains civilization. Visible.......

As for the crude civilization of the Liao State, leather armor is an advantage, iron armor, which is only available to people with status or a small number of warriors with outstanding combat effectiveness.

As for Zahu, except for the nobles and the leaders of the armed forces for decent needs, they don't do it with leather and armor, who spends that extravagant work, it is all fur clothes, which are both clothes and leather armor, keeping warm and covering shame, fighting and fighting, and they can immediately go into battle anywhere, and they don't have to go home to change into leather armor. The grasslands or primeval forests or islands and wilderness are full of robbers, they are full of dangers, and they may encounter battles at any time and anywhere, and they do not have the time to run back and equip their armor and prepare for battle, and they have to fight for their lives with wild beasts and enemies on the spot....... Otherwise, the person would have died a long time ago, and he would have gone back to change into a fart leather armor to meet the battle.

This is a pattern of armaments that is naturally formed by cruel and dangerous real life, and it is not just because of the backwardness of civilization and barbarism.

The Jin army in front of him is like this.

The miscellaneous beards or cavalry or infantry, except for the decent lords and leaders who led the team, were all wearing dirty, greasy and tattered fur clothes and rough leather boots rushing to kill, and from a distance it looked like a group of humanoid beast legions running upright, in fact, they didn't use weapons to kill the enemy, and only the smell of the smell that could smoke people to death could choke the Bohai Navy that was windy, although the Bohai people were also used to dirty, and it couldn't be clean.

In order to be more flexible and more convenient to attack, and kill and rob faster, too many beards simply ripped off their leather clothes to expose half of their arms, and they were not afraid of cold in the cold wind and snow of several degrees below zero, which fully demonstrated the ferocious, wild and bohemian nature of the barbarians, and also wanted to show that they were brave and not afraid of death to scare the enemy, roaring and roaring in the splashing snow, rushing to kill, like crazy demons, the scene was more like a group of blood-devouring demons and orcs who came to the world to slaughter and do evil, and it was more penetrating, Frightened, the Bohai Navy, who was accustomed to seeing barbarism, but was only farming and grazing slaves, and was not so wild, screamed even more in horror, and became more and more frightened of chaos.......

The so-called dense military formation that the Bohai people relied on, the military heart was timid, this chaos suddenly became paper paste, and it was full of loopholes and paper paste, and several high-speed "sharp knives" formed by the Jin army easily tore open the defense, and the still cavalry could resist the cavalry opponent who was galloping wildly, and the people were turned on their backs and horses, and the front of them collapsed into an army, and the opponent's weapons were casually touched at high speed, and they were either killed or injured and had no choice but to fall off their horses and hate. The mixed screams and screams were noisy, and the Bohai Navy was even more frightened, and the two flank army lines became more and more loose and fragile, and the generals of Ren Bohai were extremely angry and anxious, and the cavalry subordinates could not effectively organize a defense, blocking the wanton collision of the Jin army.

The Jurchens despised in their hearts were selfish and cowardly, and the miscellaneous cavalry of their own army could easily kill into the cavalry of the Bohai Navy....... A vivid demonstration of a herd of sheep led by a lion can at least become a raging and aggressive herd of bulls, if not lions.

The two thousand Bohai cavalry waited for their work, dealing with the 1,000 beggars and cavalry who had traveled ten miles in the snow and were not so brave and good at fighting, but they did not show any of the expected advantages of cheapness, complete swords and guns, better weapons, and more physical strength, and were originally full of confidence to the point of arrogance, but they were beaten off their horses one by one by the simple modified wooden sticks of the miscellaneous hu, and suffered heavy casualties, and the blood stained the white and clean snow one by one......

The infantry who followed the cavalry and galloped wildly, it turned out that they were also here to grab horses, spitting fishy spit stars like wild beasts, roaring and screaming with big yellow teeth, wielding big sticks, brutally chasing and killing all the scattered remnants, and scattering in terror and fleeing, only to hide in the east of the Bohai front, the little sword and shield soldiers, the archers, robbed the weapons of the Bohai people and took them for themselves, threw the broken wooden sticks, and waved the swords, guns, shields, and bows....... The cavalry that followed the advance, one by one, when they saw that the Bohai cavalry had fallen off their horses, they roared wildly and immediately pounced on them to make up for the kill, grabbed weapons, and scrambled to turn over their horses, and immediately became cavalrymen, and accelerated their horses, and rushed into the depths of the Bohai Navy with the roars of the advancing troops.......

Yang Yizhong on the top of the mountain sizzled and gasped: The Bohai Navy's carefully prepared 20,000 soldiers and horses on the left and right wings were defeated by a mere 3,000 gold army miscellaneous soldiers?

Zhao Yue's eyes became dark, but he didn't see it that way.

It's not that simple, and the Jin army wins.

He knew that the Bohai people were also a barbaric race forced out by the cruel and harsh living conditions in the north, although many of them were also farmers who farmed the land, but they were very different from the farmers of the Song Kingdom, just to keep the independent and free life that they had finally obtained.

He felt,

The Jin Army's commanders, Wanyan Hanlu and Wanyan Yanmu, used such a small number of Zahu troops to break through the two wings of the Bohai Navy, not because of self-confidence, and not only because of the objective needs of small troops and tactics, these two guys did not have any good intentions towards these Zahu designations.

Let Zahu snatch and occupy the war horse resources that the Jin State attaches the most importance to now, and let these Zahu go and occupy the weapons and property of the Bohai people and become stronger....... This is to encourage the greed and combat motivation of the Zahu, and it is also to show the fairness and generosity of the Jurchens.

You see, my Jurchen people don't have to take advantage of themselves, my Jurchens don't eat alone, and the country is established to gain freedom and dignity and share benefits with everyone who suffers under the rule of the Liao State, and if there are benefits and profit opportunities, they will be distributed to you, as long as you can fight bravely, you can have the ability to grab it, (you have to have a life to survive and be able to keep everything you grab, and you have a life to enjoy). In this way, it will influence, divide, and win people's hearts.

This is also the rule of the barbarians.

Backward civilization, harsh to cruel living conditions, embarrassing and difficult life..... Everything naturally forces the barbarians to be extremely pragmatic. Don't come in the slightest.

If you want others to obey you and listen to you, and are willing to take the initiative to work for you, you have to really give enough benefits to others to share. The rules of interest must be followed, and this must be done. It is not enough to rely on strong force to deter and forcibly drive them. That can be cheap for a while, but it will form deeper and deeper grudges, and eventually form uncontrollable internal troubles.

If you are like the rulers of the Song Dynasty who are qualified to play falsehood or those ridiculous scholars, you will talk about the great righteousness of the country and the nation, the integrity and integrity that individuals should pay attention to, the great achievements and aspirations, and the meritorious deeds that will be left in history....... Accustomed to talking about moral kidnapping and driving people, vain promises of what officials make wishes to fame and wealth, keen to use their mouths to fool people to serve, but they are reluctant to pay real benefits in their hearts, and they are ready to turn their faces and refuse to give after using them, but they are afraid that as soon as they open their mouths, the barbarians will unceremoniously smack you in the face. Where are you going to die..........

Wanyan Hanlu, Wanyan Yanmu's hand, or the hand of the Jurchens, is obviously good, driving and motivating Zahu to fight bravely, not so afraid of death, unwilling to work for non-native people like the Jurchens.

It is true that the miscellaneous beards of this era are not good, as always, they are cunning, cunning, selfish, ignorant, and cruel, but they are not as brave and good at fighting as before, and they are extremely disunited. Otherwise, any steppe clan can organize a much stronger hegemony advantage than the small Jurchen tribe's population, troops, horses, weapons, wealth, and so on. How can it be the turn of the poorest, poor, and backward little Jurchens to have the opportunity to rise up and rule wantonly, oppress and oppress countless Zahu tribes for a hundred years. The Zahu of this era, including the Khitans, all seem to have hypochondria......

The hunger and hardship faced by the Zahu tribe of the Jin State also forced the Zahu soldiers to obey the command of the Jurchens and fight bravely.

Only when you win, grab it, and more importantly, you can receive awards for meritorious service, can you win the much-needed food, cloth, clothing, salt, pots and bowls for your family and tribe........ and all other scarce survival materials. Otherwise, you will have to bear the shame and even more terrible hunger and cold in the midst of ridicule and indifference.......

Zhao Yue felt that the general of the Jin Army didn't care about the life and death of these miscellaneous beards in his heart, and his original intention was to tempt and encourage these miscellaneous beards to fight hard and send them to death, which was to weaken the mixed beard forces of these tribes in disguise, and it could also be said that it was the survival of the fittest. The Bohai people will definitely be red-eyed and desperate, and they will have absolute superiority in the supply of grain and grass, troops, and even sufficient superiority in weapons and equipment. The 3,000 Zahu army, which was not so brave and good at fighting, faced an opponent with several times the advantage of fighting and besieging with one blow, even if it could win, it would be a miserable victory, and I am afraid that few people would survive. And the dead cannot possess and enjoy all the spoils of war, such as war horses. In the end, it had to be returned to the hands of the Jurchens.

The country of gold is the country of the strong. The weak are not entitled to share in the benefits of the Golden State.

The Jurchens were not only so cruel to the miscellaneous aliens, but also to their own people.

The facts are also the same as Zhao Yue's hunch.

Although the two wings of the Bohai Army were shocked and frightened by the Jin army, including the nearly 20,000 infantry behind, the army formation was violently killed by the Jin cavalry and torn into several pieces, but the surviving cavalry of about seven or eight hundred cavalry and the huge infantry group were also red-eyed after the horror, and began to fight back under the command of the general's crazy roar. The cavalry bravely entangled and obstructed the galloping road of the cavalry of the various teams of the Jin army. The snow also severely hindered the cavalry's rapid acceleration and run. The golden cavalry lost the impact advantage formed by the galloping and acceleration of the war horse, the speed slowed down, and in a blink of an eye, a team fell into the encirclement of the crowd, the war horse could not run up, lost its flexibility and mobility, the cavalry was not an advantage, but a conspicuous and passive target on the horse, although because the infantry that came with it robbed a large number of war horses of the Bohai Navy to become cavalry, the cavalry of the Jin Army had also suffered a lot of casualties before, but in fact there were more at this time, at least two thousand horsemen, but they fell into the crazy siege and retaliation of the Bohai infantry wielding spears, this time it was the turn of the Jin army to be passive and hasty.......
