The horse team began to move forward again, stepping on the ice and splashing the snow, and the horses' hooves clanging.

This time, the 2,000 "army" of Wanyan was divided into two, a team of Aguta and Hu Liyan, plus a total of 204 strong men of Zhao Zhongge, and everyone changed their horses and put on armor. The whole team of strong men held the stubborn sheep's horn bow in their hands, carried a hardwood horse pistol on one shoulder, and hung a Khitan-style straight-backed arc-bladed knife, copper bone duo and short axe in their waists. It's really murderous.

Although the number of people in the Wanyan Department is not large, their equipment is quite good. Over the years, they have continued to fight, and gradually have controlled the Shengnuzhi tribe in the Tongjiang River Valley, so they have a certain degree of monopoly on furs, harriers and eagles, so they have a certain bargaining power when they are merchants in the Bohai Sea, and their income is guaranteed. And they don't need money, silk and all kinds of luxuries, and they don't need to save money to buy a house - the men who press the tiger water to complete the face will never be unable to get a lady because they don't have a house...... Even if you can't get them, you'll grab one!

Therefore the furs, harriers, and eagles they sold were exchanged for a small amount of cloth and silk for their lives, and they were all things that armed themselves. In other words, almost 100% of GDP has been invested in military activities.

Their lives, students, production, and reproduction, all revolve around a "type" word!

Therefore, although the Hushui Wanyan Department is poor, there are all kinds of stubborn sheep's horn bows, hardwood horse guns, Khitan-style broadswords, copper bones and hand axes, but there are relatively few armors, but now there are more than 1,000 pairs, which is enough to arm the 2,000 female warriors who went out this time to half of the armor rate.

In addition, the horses of the female straight are quite good. Although they are fishermen and hunters, they also have a tradition of farming and raising livestock. Because the size of the herd is not large or small, it is more conducive to breeding, and the fishing and hunting life and frequent tribal fires also require tall and strong horses. Therefore, the quality of the female straight horse at this time surpassed that of the Khitan horse and the Qingtang horse, and it was regarded as the first-class horse breed in the East. In the Wanyan Division, there are many good horses with a shoulder height of 4 feet 8 or 4 feet 9.

After having a relatively tall and strong war horse, the heavy cavalry of the female straight man played with armor and charged...... Oh, this statement is not quite right, female straight people, at least according to the Hushui Wanyan Division, there are no heavy cavalry, light cavalry, archers, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers and auxiliaries here, it is a kind of "all-round soldier". Get on and off the horse, surprise and shoot arrows, hand-to-hand combat and slash people, and logistics are all round!

Therefore, a warrior who presses out the Tiger Water to complete the face can actually be used as several people! The 2,000 people brought out by Yan Yingge this time are actually the effect of 2,000 armor cavalry plus 2,000 archers plus 2,000 archers plus 2,000 spear/shield men and 2,000 auxiliaries! For the Song army and the Liao army, they all have to use 12,000 people to do their work, and most of the results are not as good as theirs.

Not to mention anything else, the logistics line needed for the 12,000 army alone is enough to drag people down. And these 2,000 daughters and barbarians move between the white mountains and black waters, and there is basically no need for logistics lines. Now because the snow has not yet melted, the soldiers of the Wanyan Department go out with dry food and horse food. If it is changed to spring, summer and autumn, 2,000 fishermen and hunters can be sustained by hunting.

In addition, these mountain hunters have very good physical strength and can endure long-term hard fighting! The average physical fitness definitely surpasses that of the nomadic Khitans and Divinations, not to mention the Han and Bohai people who farm and trade. If it weren't for the particularly well-trained Han army encountering them, 12,000 people might have dragged 2,000 people to death!

Another thing that also surprised Zhao Zhongge and Ma Kuo was that few people were left behind when they went out to fight and rob the team of Hushui Wanyan Department. No matter how far and how fast you go, even if it is like this two-day and two-night rapid march, it seems that you have not lost a few. And most of the people who got lost will wander home on their own!

Therefore, in terms of the quality of soldiers, logistics support, and weapons and equipment, the Wanyan Department is outstanding! Abaoji's claim that "the Jurchen is invincible" is obviously not without a little truth.

However, they also have weaknesses, that is, they are too few in number, and they have not been baptized by a real war. The quality of individual soldiers is first-class, but the situation of being vulnerable when gathered is actually very common between the northern grasslands and the white mountains and black waters. For example, the group of divination blockers who rebelled every year and did not make a head, their individual soldier quality is stronger than that of the current Khitans, but they still can't defeat the Khitans.

Although he has never fought a real battle, the more than 200 people who are with Zhao Zhongge are very experienced fighters at a glance. When the team came to the edge of an endless forest, the front team's Hulayan Department dispersed, pulled out a sparse horizontal team, and cautiously entered the woods. Each soldier has a kind of whistle that emits a high-pitched whistle in his mouth, and can always send back news of an encounter with the enemy.

However, this caution is a bit redundant in Zhao Zhongge's opinion, he knows that the old forest in the mountains and fields of Tokyo will "eat people". Who would dare to go in if not the most elite hunter? Besides, it's still the time when winter and spring meet, and God knows how many hungry beasts are waiting for dinner!

Moreover, the old forest is as boundless as the sea, not to mention thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people are sprinkled into it is similar to pouring a few buckets of water into the sea, and they will soon lose their way...... Therefore, when the Khitans marched and fought between the white mountains and black waters in previous years, they generally did not dare to break into the big forest.

Zhao Zhongge followed Wanyan Agu's team into the old forest, the old forest here in the northeast is composed of tall trees, few low shrubs, and the interval between trees is relatively large. If the horse control skills are good enough, you can gallop in the woods.

Brother Zhao Zhong didn't give the surname Zhao at home, so he was a bandit for a while, and he often rode through the mountains and forests of Yanyun, so he could still keep up with the team of Yan Agu at this time.

He found that although there were only more than 100 people under Wanyan Aguda's subordinates, they were very methodical in their use. The team of more than 100 people was not simply discharged into one column or two columns, but was divided into two groups, and the front group was full of bows and arrows, ready to shoot bows and arrows at any time. The back is the apse, which is specially watching the back road, and if the limelight is not right, the people in front will turn around and run, and they will be responsible for answering. These mountain and forest girls are a bit lacking in some aspects, but they are very flexible on the battlefield. Even if they are defeated by their opponents, the main force can often slip away.

……

Just when 2,000 "heartless eyes" born daughters and barbarians braved the cold wind that was blowing bigger and bigger, Xiao Haili really slept soundly, he was almost exhausted, and he couldn't support it!

Although he is not the kind of Khitan who eats fasting and recites Buddha (in fact, he is a Xi person), but he is not a Khitan person of Abaoji's time, when has he ever suffered like this?

He had set up an ambush on the bank of the Duck River three days earlier and had taken thousands of Khitan pursuers by surprise, killing and wounding them and plundering a lot, but he also knew that he did not have enough strength to fight against the entire Great Liao. Therefore, after cleaning up the battlefield, immediately turn to the direction of Taibai Mountain.

After a day of transfer, a group of straight barbarians with daughters appeared out of nowhere, biting all the way.

And Xiao Haili was also careful enough, worried that the daughter would come with the Liao soldiers in the brigade, so he didn't dare to stop and fight, let alone rest, and ran like he was dead. But I don't know what's going on, those daughters chase after the soldiers all the time.

It was when Xiao Haili and his subordinates were exhausted and fell behind in large numbers, finally blessed by the Buddha, the snowstorm was coming!

Now Xiao Haili was relieved, he knew the current Khitan soldiers too well, and he was already the elite of the elite to be able to pursue for two days in such a cold and snowy land. It is impossible for them to fight in the wind and snow...... If the Khitan soldiers were still so awesome, they would have destroyed Song and Tuxia a long time ago.

So Xiao Haili was very relieved to find a forest that could shelter from the wind and snow and set up camp.

However, he is also a Khitan who can fight well, and he is very talented. Even when the snow was coming, he did not forget to arrange for his most reliable henchmen to lead the guard, and he also had some trees cut down and seal the side of the woods, and of course he did not forget to arrange for archers to stand guard behind those felled trees.

At this point, he can finally sleep soundly, and by the way, he thinks about where the team should develop next in his dreams?

When he dreamed that he was standing in the mountains and forests, the eagle roared in the snowfield, and he was eating a hundred chicken feast with a group of leaders who fell into the grass with him in the old nest of Taibai Mountain, he felt a "shaking of the earth".

"What's wrong? Earthquake? ”

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that it was a few henchmen who were shaking him!

"What about you? Let it not let people sleep? ”

"Lang Jun, I can't sleep, the chasing soldiers have arrived!"

A boy reported in a panic.

"What?" Xiao Haili was stunned and stunned, "The blizzard is not coming?" ”

"Come on, the wind is getting stronger and stronger outside."

"And they're still coming?" Xiao Haili sat up suddenly, "Who brought the soldiers?" ”

"It's a group of raw girls! About a thousand people. ”

"What? More than a thousand daughters straight? Xiao Haili was angry with the news. Lao Tzu didn't provoke them, they bullied Lao Tzu. ”

"Lang Jun, what should we do?"

Xiao Haili glanced at the person who asked: "What else can I do?" Of course I'm going to have to fuck him!

By the way, which direction did those daughters come from? ”

"Southwest."

"Southwest...... Let's have a good wind, shall we? ”

"Tailwind!" Some of his subordinates understood what Xiao Haili meant, "Lang Jun, we are a tailwind, they are a headwind." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Haili slapped his face, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight those barbarians, they sent them up themselves!"

Pass Lao Tzu's orders, put on armor, prepare for war, except for the ground word department, all go to war! ”

"Whoa!"
