People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

"General Lothar, the Grand Knight Commander has ordered you to join the wing cavalry company immediately and be ready to attack at any time to help the Chinese army."

"Go out?"

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

Facing the ferocity of the Jin Kingdom's iron cavalry, even if they stood on the city wall, they would have the illusion that they would be crushed into flesh by the torrent of steel in an instant, let alone go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Lothar didn't explain, but just smiled and said: "Everyone, General Da has ordered us to go out of the city to fight the Jinren. You only need to rely on the city wall and support one or two with bows and arrows when the enemy approaches."

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

"Even if we lose, we can still fight off most of the Jinren's main force. At that time, the Jinren will have no spare power to attack the city again."

The crowd were slightly stunned, and unexpectedly they felt a sense of relief because they didn't have to fight the golden man desperately.

It's just that Liu Bowu and the others couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: this barbarian general has neither family members here nor the responsibility of guarding the land, why should he risk his life for them?
Seeing Lothar leave in a hurry.

Someone couldn't help muttering: "These people must be crazy. They went out of the city to fight the golden dog. If they lose, should we open the city gate or not?"

But at this time.

Lothar seemed to have heard his muttering, and paused his footsteps slightly: "If our army is defeated, you don't need to open the city gate, and the people of Qingshui County will come first."

The crowd at the top of the city looked at each other, feeling ashamed and relieved that they didn't have to accept moral torture.

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

He exchanged glances with Marshal Jill, who had already lined up in front of the city gate and was about to attack, and nodded slightly. Next, Marshal Jill will be in charge of the central army.

He and Jeanne commanded more than 120 cavalry, including 25 scout cavalry, [-] five-winged cavalry, [-] bow cavalry, [-] religious order knights, and [-] edict knights.

The gate creaked open.

The remaining veterans at the forefront drove dozens of "Hussite chariots" drawn by mules, horses and livestock, and left the city first.

The Jin people started from fishing and hunting, and their tactics changed a lot, but in general, the heavy cavalry stood out, and the light cavalry outflanked the two wings, and the back to the city wall lined up, first of all, they could avoid worries about the future.

The so-called battle against the city is nothing more than that.

The Hussite chariot is actually a unique car base, which requires a four-horse cart, carrying small-caliber guns and artillery, and is regarded as the nemesis of cavalry.

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

The "chariots" temporarily requisitioned and transformed by Lothar's army are naturally much simpler than the real Hussite chariots.

It's just some reinforced box carriages, with some shooting holes and iron plates added.

They were pushed out of the city gate by squeaks, connected first, and quickly leaned against the city wall, forming a bowl-shaped formation that was upside down on the city wall.

After the chariots and horses are in place, the pack animals are unloaded, and the head and tail of each chariot are connected with iron cables to prevent enemy cavalry from intruding through the gaps in the chariot.

At the same time, the chariot was covered with a layer of water-soaked, heavy, bulging quilt, which was to prevent the enemy from using fire tactics to ignite the crude wooden carriage.

Limited by the limited preparation time, it can only be done to this extent.

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

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

Jill looked at the distance with a serious expression, and the Jin Guo cavalry who had already started to move could not help but secretly sighed.

Either they are not given a chance to vent, or they have to face such a harsh situation as soon as they come out, [-] foot soldiers have to face [-] cavalry, this girl Rang Na really thinks highly of herself.

"The enemy has moved!"

Jill shouted loudly: "Everyone retreats to the car base and prepares to meet the enemy!"

Lothar joins Jeanne.

More than [-] cavalry in strong and sharp clothes lined up in front of the side gate of the city.

They didn't seem to have any doubts about appearing in this foreign country for no reason to fight against the powerful cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin. It's just that new recruits like the Scout Cavalry Company inevitably showed a little nervousness on their faces when they first entered the battlefield.

Jean Na held the iron helmet in her arms, with a calm expression: "When people are dreaming, even if the dream is outrageous, many times they don't realize it at all. This is probably the reason."

Seeing that Lothar's face was not very good-looking, she lowered her voice a little and said, "This time I'm doing my own thing. Next time, I will definitely listen to you."

Lothar made a "hmm".

In fact, he could understand Jeanna's concerns. Some people said that a sheep led by a lion can outperform a group of lions led by a sheep.

But in fact, the former will only be more vulnerable than the latter.

From the beginning to the end, Rang Na never had the idea of ​​fighting side by side with the Great Song Xiang Army or the militiamen. Mixing the sheep with the lions would only make the lions lose their courage.

The tactic of driving sheep and swallowing wolves is not only easy for Na to use, but also for the golden man who was born in fishing and hunting.

What's more, when the Jin people went south, they had been fighting this kind of battle to drive sheep and devour wolves.

The seventeen cavalrymen from the Kingdom of Jin drove two thousand Song soldiers away with their heads in their arms, losing nearly half of the battle cases. It was Lothar who told Rangna.

There are only seventeen people, even if they are born with three heads and six arms, the Song army who can really kill is only one hundred and ten people, and the rest are all trampled to death.

Jeanna put her hand on the center of her eyebrows, and muttered, "Gill told me that the enemy has sent the first centurion to launch a tentative attack on the car base."

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

"Hopefully they can withstand the pressure."

Lothar sighed softly. Their cavalry can only have a decisive effect if they attack at the most critical time of the battle.

Otherwise, it will be easily intercepted by enemy cavalry that are several times larger than yourself.

outside the city.

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

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

"The Song people from Qingshui County dare to kill my envoy. The enemies who ambushed and killed my former army must be hiding here!"

Jin Wushu couldn't be more aware of the backbone of these so-called Song people. He led troops all the way to kill, and which of those county towns and cities closed their gates tightly, allowing him to plunder the countryside.

If he hadn't been in a hurry and wanted to go south to capture the Zhao Song official's family, he only needed to besiege the city for a while, and the county magistrate would be frightened, and he would offer wine, meat, beauties, gold, silver and treasures to them.

The Han people under Jin Wushu's command remonstrated: "Fourth Prince, we have pursued deep enough, and now you only bring half a million soldiers and horses from your headquarters. If something goes wrong, Deputy Commander Talan can explain it to you." Don't go."

"Heh, mere people from the Song Dynasty, what are you talking about? They are cowardly and unarmed. If you are a woman, I have five thousand soldiers and horses, and I can cross the Yangtze River and Huaihe River."

Jin Wushu showed contempt on his face, but in his heart, he also had the idea of ​​going back home.

After all, not all the people in the Song Dynasty are full of wine bags and rice bags. For example, a Taoist in Tsing Yi who assassinated Wanyan Tarlan some time ago, his swordsmanship was extremely superb, and in front of his hundreds of guards, he almost took the Kingdom of Jin The head of the marshal left to oversee the army.

Fortunately, Wanyan Talan kept two shaman priests by his side, and cast a spell to drive the Taoist away.

Right now, I am going deep alone, if I lose hundreds of soldiers in this county, there is really no need to go south.

"In short, we must destroy this Qingshui County first, and avenge the sons under my command before we talk about it."

Jin Wushu held onto his hand, "Decree to go down, cut wood and obtain materials, and prepare to build siege equipment. On the day the city is broken, all male and female slaves, gold, silver and treasures will belong to the children."

Joining the army suddenly seemed to have seen something unbelievable, and said in surprise: "Fourth prince, look!"

Jin Wushu followed the sound with some doubts, and saw that the city gate was suddenly opened, and there was a neat line of soldiers, driving chariots and horses, coming out of the city gate.

"These Song people are going to leave the city and surrender to me?"

Joining the army advised: "Fourth prince, beware of the enemy's fraud!"

Jin Wushu was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "When things go wrong, you really have to be careful. I want to see what tricks this Song man is up to."

Right now, the army under his hands is approaching Qingshui County, and the distance between the two sides is several thousand meters. If this distance is ignored, within a few minutes, the kidnappers under his hands will be able to kill the city wall.

But Jin Wushu didn't seize this opportunity, instead ordered the whole army not to move rashly.

Until, in the car rampart, a golden double-headed eagle banner was suddenly erected. Hundreds of bloody heads were pulled by the "Song Army" with whips and tied to the chariots and horses.

Jin Wushu's eyes were about to burst: "Sure enough, these Song people did a good job. They thought that they could resist the cavalry of our Great Jin Kingdom by setting up a car barrier. I want them to pay with their blood!"

Hundreds of kidnapped horses took the lead. These light cavalry did not directly attack the car fort, but wandered around tentatively, shooting with bows.

But as soon as they approached, they suffered heavy losses.

The woodland shooters knocked down more than ten cavalry in one round of volley. The hundred-pound heavy bows in their hands were like snipers in the middle ages, with accurate shooting skills and amazing power.

The [-] light infantry trained in the recruit training camp were mostly hunters, and their shooting skills were quite good. They relied on the car base to shoot at the enemy cavalry. In the blink of an eye, more than ten cavalry were shot down.

Although the kidnappers were light cavalry, they were all wearing half armor. A few people even covered their mounts with half-length horse armor to shield arrows. It is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate.

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

They may be timid to fight the Jin people in close quarters, but they can still stand on the tower and shoot the enemy from a distance.

Although those two divine arm crossbows are antiques in the county arsenal, they are extremely powerful. Once hit, they can nail people and horses to the ground.

However, the riding and shooting tactics of the golden man kidnapping the horse are a bit insignificant when facing the car base and the well-armored infantry under Lothar.

Watching the battle situation from a distance, Jin Wushu's expression changed slightly. Facing the hedgehog-like car barrier, he immediately decided to order these kidnappers to retreat, and the Iron Buddha launched a frontal attack.

The iron Buddha heavy cavalry is actually quite similar to the armored cavalry of Sasanian and Eastern Rome. They are all-round cavalry who are skilled in bow and horse, can ride and shoot, and can also attack the enemy in close combat.

During the siege, Tiefutu can also dismount and climb the city.

On the battlefield, there is always a disadvantage.

Jin Wushu believed that although these "Song Army" ambushed and killed his former army with conspiracy and tricks, their strength and numbers were limited. As long as the Tiefu Tu went to battle, they would surely be able to crush their ridiculous tortoise shells easily.
