Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 182 Challenge the Myth
Fan Zhuoyuan personally led [-] elite cavalry to fight.

Before the battle, Li Gang went to dissuade him, "Heng Wu, I know that you have always been brave, your military training is rigorous, and the combat strength of your troops is also the best among all armies.

But this time the Golden Army has over ten thousand troops, and all of them are elite cavalry.As the saying goes: Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and ten thousand are invincible. If your five thousand elite are defeated, it will have a great impact on the morale of the defenders. "

Fan Zhuoyuan respected Li Gang as a direct minister very much. Although the two of them had some bad times, but at this time they are fighting against insults together, that is, they are companions on the same front.

"The Jurchens are less than ten thousand and invincible, which is not only their honor, but also their shackles.

Once it is broken, will the fear of the enemy among the armies be greatly reduced? "

"The most important thing is, Hengwu, can you break this myth!"

Fan Zhuoyuan said with emotion: "There has never been a myth in the world that cannot be broken, unless you dare not break it!"

He pointed to the [-] horsemen lined up beside him, all of whom had three horses. Some of these horses were accumulated little by little by Fan Zhuoyuan in the past two years on the grasslands, and some of them were acquired by Khitan herdsmen in Yandi. contributed.

Of course, most of them were bought by the Northern Song government. After all, it is impossible for the Jin people to stay on the grassland for a long time. After the fall of the Liao regime, the herdsmen on the grassland loved to trade with the Central Plains. Without middlemen, the price of war horses became extremely cheap. .

This group of cavalry is not all unarmored light cavalry on the surface. In fact, a cavalry wears three horses, two of which are charge horses, and one is a pack horse for carrying things.

There is a set of heavy armor on the pack horse. Before the battle, with the help of Tongzhou county soldiers, the horse will be fully equipped with armor, and it will immediately become a human horse with heavy armor!
Moreover, among the [-] cavalry, [-] were Khitan and Xi people, all of whom had deep-seated hatred for the Jin people, so naturally there was no need to worry about the morale of the army.

When Fan Zhuoyuan built this army, he made reference to the Three Thousand Serenity Army in the early Song Dynasty.

The three thousand Jingsai troops each rode five horses, equipped with horses and horses, and the horses were Dawan horses. Of course, this is doubtful, because the Northern Song Dynasty could not obtain war horses from the Western Regions at all, and it is very likely that they were fabricated by later generations.

And Fan Zhuoyuan used three horses for one rider, and the war horses were also carefully selected from the horses raised by the Khitan people, and even some of them were Hexi horses bought from Hehuang, so they could afford harnesses.

He said to Li Gang: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the cavalry has never been more elite than this. Besides, every soldier has a grudge against the enemy, and his morale is available. If we don't fight a battle, we may just sit in the city and watch the golden men plunder the wilderness." , and even directly went south to harass the capital.

Even if they were defeated, the worst result would be to stay silent. Compared with the two, it is more cost-effective to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight. "

What else did Li Gang want to say, Fan Zhuoyuan picked up the dragon-slaying knife and mounted the horse, saying: "Li Xuanfu, the military affairs are handled by me and the king, and government affairs and civil affairs are handled by you, these war matters, leave them to us vulgar warriors! "

Speaking of directing the whole army to leave the city, Li Gang stared blankly and sighed helplessly.

Wang Ting said beside him: "Don't worry about Li Xuanfu. General Fan has been out on the grassland for the past two years pretending to be a horse bandit and attacking the Jin people. He is a person who sacrifices his life and forgets to die, with General Fan's bravery, even if he loses, he can retreat completely."

Li Gang said helplessly: "I hope so. By the way, you said that he has been traveling for the past two years to pretend to be a horse bandit?"

Knowing that he had slipped his tongue, Wang Ting quickly ran away with an excuse.

Fan Zhuoyuan rode a horse and carried a knife, but the Hexi horse under him still ran briskly, feeling extremely light.

This is because in the past two years, Fan Zhuoyuan's internal energy cultivation has improved extremely fast. He has already completed the first chapter of Daoxin Planting Demons and the I Ching of Bone Forging. The infuriating energy of the two attributes of Taoism and Buddhism has formally broken through innate cultivation.

Then he practiced such superior lightness skills as the Twelve Branches of Huajian and Magic Demon Body Technique.

Today's seemingly huge body can become extremely light when using internal strength.

Just like when Mu Qingyan was riding a horse, it seemed that there was no heavy object on the horse's back, and it ran no slower than a horse without a load.

This is the magic of lightness kung fu, which Fan Zhuoyuan can't do no matter how he cultivates external kung fu.

Of course, the Xiantian realm represents cultivation rather than actual combat level. At this realm, all the true energy in the body is transformed into innate true energy, and the true energy in the dantian is full and reaches the limit, and it cannot be saved any more. However, the recovery speed can be very fast.

Compared with the cultivation base of the Houtian realm, the true qi is purer, so flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, and at the same time, the battery life is stronger, and the chance of winning in the competition of internal strength is greater.

In addition, if you compare it with actual combat, it may not be much better than Houtian Peak.

After all, the world of martial arts is not a world of fantasy, and it doesn't mean that a stronger cultivation level means infinite strength.

Two years ago, Dugu Hong's cultivation level did not break through his innate ability, and he can beat Jin Zhezhi, who has an innate state, with the power of the latter.

Including Tang Shuanglong World, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan, etc., are often able to leapfrog to challenge their senior masters who have grown decades of their cultivation.

These all directly show that innateness is not the only criterion for judging the level of strength, but also includes actual combat experience, actual combat status, will, true meaning of martial arts, characteristics of martial arts, and many other aspects.

Therefore, although Fan Zhuoyuan's internal energy is beyond his innate ability, it is still not as good as his external energy system at this time.

However, it is much stronger than the external kung fu system when used in horseback riding.

Now he uses the external power system for foot combat, and the internal power system for cavalry combat. The switching time in between is about [-] breaths, which is enough to ensure comprehensiveness.

Fan Zhuoyuan led the troops to Tongzhou County, summoned [-] auxiliary soldiers to the banks of the Lushui River, and waited quietly for the vanguard of the Kingdom of Jin to arrive.

The [-] pioneers of the Kingdom of Jin soon appeared on the other side of the river. At this time, it was the dry season in autumn, and the Lushui River was shallow and narrow, so it could not become an important natural danger.

But Jin Bing stopped vigilantly and looked at the horse team opposite.

Fan Zhuoyuan stepped forward immediately, "I'll give you two quarters of an hour to cross the river, and then have a decisive battle, how dare you!"

On the opposite side, General Jin and his lieutenant looked at each other, and General Jin said a lot of Jurchen words to Fan Zhuoyuan.

Then the Khitan translator beside him who is proficient in Chinese shouted: "Since you are so talented, why don't we dare!"

Fan Zhuoyuan ordered the whole army to retreat [-] steps, and the Jin army really began to cross the river formally. In order to prevent the Song army from attacking, they swam in three places at the same time.

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't harass, but ordered the auxiliary soldiers to put on armor for the whole army. He just wanted to fight a frontal defeat!

In terms of military spirit and morale, he gave the arrogant Jin Bing an unforgettable lesson.

Well-trained cavalry put on their armor quickly and line up like a wall!

What formation do heavy cavalry use?The most common one is of course the most penetrating front arrow array!
But what Fan Zhuoyuan used was the wall-riding formation, a method used by modernized cavalry.
