Chapter 5: Iron Armor Retreats the Enemy
Yuan Liezuzhuerjinge Ye Suge (1134-1170) served as the leader of the Begging for recognition or appreciation tribe for thirteen years, frequently attacking the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). At that time, the Jin Dynasty was very powerful, having conquered the Liao in 1125 and then launched the Jingkang Incident to overthrow the Northern Song in 1127. In 1130, they forced Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, to submit a letter of allegiance to the Jin Emperor.
As the rumble of horse hooves grew louder, a scout reported: a cavalry of several thousand Jurchen soldiers from the Jin Dynasty was charging from a distance!
Historical records indicate that the cavalry of the Jin Dynasty, established by the Jurchen tribe, typically consisted of one rider and two horses. They excelled in long-range archery, making ambushes their specialty (even if they couldn't win, they could run fast).
Seeing that the war was about to break out, Hadan Batel and Qin Sword bumped heads: "We've eaten and drunk our fill, but when others are in trouble, we can't just wipe our mouths and walk away. That's not the way of our soldiers." Moreover, whether it's the Jin Dynasty or the later Yuan Dynasty, they are all part of the great Chinese territory, but The Shame of the Jingkang Era always ignites the fire in people's hearts! They all feel that resisting the Jin Dynasty is resisting foreign humiliation.
At present, Hadan Batel and Bourgeoisie are communicating, and the Mongolian people are true-hearted. It is said that these strangely dressed people are willing to fight alongside them! They all regard them as "Anda".
"They just had a meal here and could have taken care of themselves, avoiding the war entirely.
Hadan Batel stayed behind, mounted a Warhorse, and was handed a sabre and a bow and arrow by the Bourgeoisie. Hadan Batel only took the sabre for close combat."
Bourgeoisie arranged for two knights to escort Qin Sword and Wu Jie to their chariot. Qin Sword organized a team of 40 armored infantry soldiers to accompany him, while Wu Jie remained at the camp.
The chariot is a light armored vehicle made of lightweight metal alloy material, with a maximum speed of approximately 60-75 kilometers per hour.
Soon, the chariot caught up with the horse team that was advancing to meet the enemy. Including the Bourgeoisie, the Mongolian knights were all a bit dumbfounded: how could such a large, headless and brainless creature outrun the steeds on the grassland?
The vanguard of the Mongolian army engaged the enemy, initially exchanging long-range arrows. Through the telescope of Qin Sword, it was clear that Ye Suge's warriors were at a disadvantage: the Jin cavalry generally wore heavy iron armor, limiting the damage from arrows, but their arrows had strong penetrating power, with arrowheads as long as 6 or 7 inches, easily piercing the armor of the Mongolian warriors.
Mongolian people Here, people are frequently falling off their horses after being shot with arrows. Once the cavalry loses their horses, they lose their combat effectiveness, and many of those injured by arrows end up being trampled to death by the Warhorse in the chaos.
After a round of arrow shooting, the horse team of both sides are already mixed together, and from a distance, you can hear the sound of sabres clashing and the miserable cries of those struck by the blades.
Supposedly, the Mongolian knights were more agile than the heavily armored troops of the Jin Dynasty, but in reality, their sabres could only strike at the unprotected parts of the enemy...
The battle was at a stalemate for a while.
In this situation, they dare not open fire easily: the two sides are intertwined, making it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, and it is very easy to cause friendly fire.
In the midst of the melee, a cavalry force suddenly broke out from the flank of the Jin dynasty army, bypassed the battlefield, and directly attacked Ye Suge's camp!
Hadan Batel and Bourgeoisie rode to the front of Qin Sword's chariot: "Lieutenant, catch up and eliminate them! They are going to attack Bourgeoisie's camp, where most of the people are elderly, women, and children!"
The chariot roared and turned around, closely following the Jin cavalry. The distance between the two sides quickly closed, and the 500-strong horse team saw the pursuers behind them and split a hundred-man squad to turn their horses and counterattack.
The Vehicle-mounted machine gun on the Qin Sword Command vehicle rang out, and other vehicles followed suit, and in less than three minutes, almost all of the hundred-man team's Warhorse were knocked down.
As the distance closed, four chariots began to shoot freely and accurately. Under modern firepower, this raiding force was severely damaged, with a few scattered enemies escaping back. Soon, the sound of the horn wailed, and the two sides in a stalemate slowly separated as the Jin troops retreated.
The retreating Mongolian horsemen saw warhorses maimed and killed by machine guns everywhere. In the sight of Qin Sword, these men did not take the enemy, who had lost their warhorses, as prisoners, but instead wielded their sabres to harvest the lives of these Jin soldiers who were no longer able to resist.
The bloody slaughter brought about by cold weapons almost made these experienced soldiers of Qin Sword shudder.
The setting sun cast a red glow, and the evening clouds looked like blood. Qin Sword felt a bit lost: Does this kind of battle have any meaning for me?
