Jiang Min patted the telescope in her hand, shook it vigorously, and put it back in front of her eyes. In the distance, there were five or six Jin Army Rangers walking leisurely, looking at the surrounding scenery. After entering Shenshan County, he saw no one again, which made Jin Jun particularly curious.
After watching for a while, Jiang Min said to Liang Xing beside him: "There is no Jin Army group within two or three miles around. These people should be rangers."
Liang Xing said: "There are only five or six people. I will take a small group of cavalry out to catch them!"
Jiang Min said: "When the two armies start a war, they fight the rangers first. This is what our Dengzhou soldiers must learn as soon as they enter the military academy. Most of the cavalry in the army are light cavalry, which is designed for this purpose. The rangers of the Jin Army have already Entering Shenshan County, their army should arrive tomorrow."
Liang Xing nodded. Call out twenty cavalrymen in your own army and prepare to attack.
Several Jin soldiers were looking left and right when they suddenly saw more than 20 cavalry rushing out of the dense forest not far away.
The one at the front shouted loudly: "Good day, you straight bitch!"
After saying that, he pulled out three arrows. Seeing Liang Xing's cavalry approaching, they fired a barrage of arrows and hit the three rebels at the front.
Liang Xing was startled and quickly drew out his sword. Just in the blink of an eye, a rain of arrows shot over.
The Jin army's cavalry bows have low power, but their arrows are heavy. Although the shot doesn't go far, it breaks the armor. There was nothing we could do if we encountered steel armor, but Liang Xing's rebels were all leather armor, and half of them fell instantly.
The Jin army put away their bows, drew out their sabers, and ran over shouting loudly.
Jiang Min, who was behind, saw that Liang Xing's men couldn't take down the Jin army. He raised his mace and shouted, "Charge!"
About fifty cavalrymen from the woods rushed out. Divide into several groups and face the rushing Jin army.
"There are still ambushes!" The leader of the Jin army shouted, suddenly turned his horse's head, and led the Jin army's cavalry to charge diagonally. He ran a few steps, put away his sword, and took out his bow. He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at Jiang Min.
Jiang Min bent down on the horse and pointed his head forward, while the horse kept moving forward. There was a tinkling sound, and the arrow hit the helmet and fell down.
Although this round of arrows injured two people, it had no impact on Jiang Min's formation. Within a few breaths, the two sides collided head-on.
Jiang Min waved the mace in his hand and knocked down the Jin army at the front with one blow.
In close combat, the Jin army was obviously no match for the Song army. Moreover, there was a huge difference in the number of people on both sides, and they were all taken quickly.
Liang Xing watched stunned. He could see that Jiang Min's cavalry was well-trained, far beyond what his own rebels could compare with. Charge by yourself, charge forward with others, there is no strict formation. Jiang Min's charge was obviously in a cone-shaped formation. After bending down halfway, all the knights left very little space for the Golden Army to shoot with their bows and arrows. One round of arrows was shot, and before the second round of arrows could be attached to the bow, the two sides were already close.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
After taking the Jin army, Jiang Min ordered the battlefield to be swept and took the prisoners back to the woods.
After getting off his horse, Jiang Min dragged a golden soldier one by one and asked sharply: "Where is your army? How far is it from here? When is it expected to arrive?"
That Jin Bing Yiliwala seemed like he couldn't understand Jiang Minhan's words.
Jiang Min didn't hesitate, drew out his sword, wiped it on his neck, and brought another golden soldier over.
Seeing Jiang Min killing people, Jin Junyouqi no longer dared to act stupid. Said: "We are just rangers, how can we know the military situation?"
Jiang Min cursed: "That's wordy!" He raised the steel knife in his hand again.
The golden man was startled and said hurriedly: "Heroes, we are rangers and are not in the same place as the army. According to common sense, they are one day's journey away from us!"
Jiang Min nodded: "It makes sense. Since you are the rangers, what are you doing in Shenshan County?"
Jin Jun said: "Check the situation in this county and see if it is prepared. How many people are there, how many troops are there, and how they are deployed. After checking clearly, go back and report."
Jiang Min asked some other questions, but felt that nothing could be learned from the questions, so he ordered his soldiers to take away the golden soldiers.
Turning his head, Jiang Min said to Liang Xing: "You have a lot of wounded soldiers in your army, and you have to go back for treatment. Let's do this. You take the people back, and take my two wounded soldiers with you, as well as these golden soldiers. I still Stay in this area and check the Jin army’s movements.”
After hesitating for a moment, Liang Xing said: "I will naturally obey the orders of the cavalry. - I will take twenty people back and leave the remaining thirty to the cavalry. Although they are not as well-trained as your cavalry, they have been in battle after all. , it should be of some use."
Jiang Min nodded without being wordy and promised Liang Xing's others to stay.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the rebel army and the regular army. It's just some small movements that you don't pay attention to. For example, there are necessary formations when attacking, and what actions to use in any situation. For example, when they saw the Jin army setting up their bows, everyone immediately bent down to reduce the enemy's attack area. The two armies intersect, and according to the enemy's movements, you choose which part of the enemy to attack first.
However, there is not much difference between the two in appearance, but their combat effectiveness is very different.
Jiang Min's cavalry were strictly trained. Their tactical movements are constantly improved by veterans' summaries and instructors' actual combat. No matter what situation you encounter on the battlefield, you can always make the best choice. Even if the advantage of each action is not great, cumulatively, the combat effectiveness will be huge.
Before every battle, Wang Xiaolie's cavalry always had the advantage and gained the initiative on the battlefield. This was not easy. The cavalry are carefully selected, and then undergo rigorous training and many drills, and they are all elite soldiers. Even the Jin Army did not have the upper hand compared to them.
Veterans may not be able to fight, and not all recruits are rookies. It depends on the experience and environment of both parties. In an army with poor combat effectiveness and poor work style, most of the veterans are soldiers, both sophisticated and slippery. They may not be able to fight, they just know how to save their lives on the battlefield. Recruits who have received strict training may be confused when they first enter the battlefield, but they will quickly adapt to the battlefield environment.
The style of an army determines the style of its officers, not the other way around.
Jiang Min himself is an outstanding student and trains hard. Jiang Min also requested the same for his subordinates. His own style actually determines the style of this army. Whether they are officers or soldiers, whether they have fought in a war or are new to the battlefield, their movements and tactical awareness are strong enough. As long as there is correct command, the combat effectiveness of this army is not weak.
Liang Xing's rebel army, these people have enough enthusiasm, the spirit of not being afraid of death, and the will to fight bravely. However, these people have not received strict training and lack the strict command system of the regular army. In many cases, their combat effectiveness is actually not high.
There are actually many problems with the cooperation between the two armies. These problems all need to be solved by Jiang Min.
