The people in the forest saw the Jin army approaching fiercely. Although they only had only a dozen or twenty riders, they were indeed full of murderous intent. Those who were a little timid would be afraid that their livers and gallbladder would go cold.
Yang Zhi was the most knowledgeable, with a solemn look on his face, and whispered to Gao Kan: "Sir, this is the scouting team of the golden thieves. They usually have eighteen riders in one team. When acting, they are divided into three groups, that is, six people. A group, spread out in a fan shape to investigate, they are all the most skilled in horseback riding among the Jin cavalry, and have extremely strong combat power."
Gao Kan nodded slightly when he heard the words and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead and tell all the brothers to be careful."
"It's Young Master!" Yang Zhi took the order and immediately turned around to give instructions.
Everyone they brought saw the real Golden Army for the first time.
Even though I had been prepared, I still couldn't help but feel horrified when I saw it now, and everyone nervously clenched their swords.
Gao Kan frowned, looking at the equipment of the Jin army across from him, thinking secretly.
What he saw in front of him was just a scouting team of the Jin Army. They were all wearing armor, with scimitars on their waists, crossbows on their backs, iron shields covering their faces, and iron helmets on top. It could be said that they were armed to the teeth.
Originally, he had seen the most elite Imperial Guards of the Zhao Song Dynasty official family in Bianliang, Tokyo. They held the most money and food supplies in the Song Dynasty, and they only had a suit of rattan armor.
Compared with the golden soldiers, the equipment gap between the two is not small.
The Forbidden Army is like this, let alone the training of the Xiang Army and the Rural Corps in ordinary places. I'm afraid it will be very different.
And there is such a gap in equipment. No wonder the Zhao Song army was defeated when they encountered the Jin soldiers. Whoever it was, this battle would not be easy to fight.
Not to mention, the training of the Jin army was far more rigorous than that of the Song army.
The Jin people are also nomads who grew up on horseback. Almost all of them are born knights, so the cavalry is naturally more powerful.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Zhi had already passed on Gao Kan's instructions, and made arrangements so that everyone would not panic.
He turned around and reported to Gaokan: "Sir, everything has been ordered to go down. The people and horses on the opposite side are still more than a mile away before they fall into ambush. At that time, my subordinates will lead the people and horses to kill the generals first, and then cover up and kill this group of people."
Gao Kan nodded and said: "The Jin army is well-equipped. Our brothers don't even have a piece of useful rattan armor. We only have short knives and a few long spears in our hands. We are not good at attacking cavalry, so we can cover up the killing." You must be careful, set up traps first, wait for the opponent's troops to be in chaos, and then attack out, so that you can be more sure."
Yang Zhi heard the sound and looked at the Jin army on the opposite side getting closer and closer. He said seriously: "I understand."
When he was talking, he was about to lead his people to sneak close to the place to make preparations. When Gao Kan saw this, he pulled him back.
"There is still a moment to kill the generals. If the enemy troops flee, there is no need to pursue them. If they all fight to the death, we should take the opportunity to let one or two people go back to report the news. Don't hide them all here."
When Yang Zhi heard this, he paused and asked, "Master, why is this?"
"It's urgent right now. I can't explain the reason in detail. Just act according to plan." Gao Kan said.
Seeing this, Yang Zhi stopped asking any more questions, waved his hand and called his men, and then moved forward.
Gao Kan stayed behind and was closely guarded by a dozen of his subordinates.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, I saw all the Jin soldiers and horses lying on the ground, still looking around to observe the advance. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded in the forest.
Before Jin Jun could react below, he saw the tip of a wooden raft suddenly swinging out from the woods.
The leading Jin Army scout team leader immediately shouted, reining in his horse to dodge, and at the same time, a similar trap was issued behind them.
Under attack from the front and back, although the Jin soldiers were good at riding, some people were too late to dodge and were knocked to the ground on the spot.
After a while, I heard the sound of piercing the air in the woods again.
Then he saw black arrows shooting straight in his face like the wind. The golden soldiers immediately pulled out their swords from their waists and swung their swords to catch them.
Gao Kan saw the rain of arrows shot from the forest in the distance. A few of them were blocked by the golden soldiers, but most of them were able to hit him. However, the arrows from the bows were not penetrating enough to break through the thick iron armor of the golden soldiers.
Only those who are unlucky and have the arrow hit the neck, arms, and legs just right can be killed.
The rest was all blocked by the armor.
During the two raids, Gao Kan originally made a sophisticated plan. He thought that this first one would be a great success no matter what, so that the rebels would be in chaos, but he did not expect this to be the result.
It took so much effort to only kill or injure four or five people.
And after a volley of fire in the forest, the captain of the Jinbing squad also noticed that there was someone hiding in the forest. He pointed the scimitar in his hand and shouted, and the people on the left and right immediately clapped their horses and came towards the forest.
Seeing that he was entering it, he told the director hiding in the forest that he had nowhere to hide and had no choice but to fight hard.
At this moment, the grass and rocks on the ground suddenly flew up, and a stumbling rope covered with iron thorns and thorns was suddenly pulled up. The cavalry at the forefront had no time to react and was immediately hit.
Horse tripping ropes were a good way to deal with cavalry, and Gaokan was the first to add iron spikes to horse tripping ropes.
As soon as the Jin Army's war horse was restrained by the horse rope, blood flowed from the horse's legs, and it immediately fell down after roaring.
The golden soldier on the horse reacted very quickly. Just when the horse fell over, he had time to turn over and jump off the horse. Firstly, he did not fall out with him, and secondly, he also avoided being pressed by the horse.
But even though they had superb riding skills and extremely quick reactions, they still couldn't help but fell into a killing situation, and it was difficult to escape.
These cavalrymen had just landed and before they could get up, they saw the turf turning up on the left and right sides of the ground. The killers who were lying in ambush jumped out immediately, stabbing with spears in their hands.
The thick armor of the cavalry can protect them from arrows fired from a distance, but it cannot protect them from spears piercing directly in front of them.
Moreover, these ambush candidates are all good at picking, with sharp eyes and steady hands, and they specialize in stabbing the opponent's neck that is not covered by the armor.
In the blink of an eye, several people died on the spot. The cavalry behind saw the danger and hurriedly reined in their horses to save their lives.
In the woods, Yang Zhi saw that the trap that had been set up with great effort was able to kill and injure such enemy troops. He immediately became anxious. Seeing that the enemy troops no longer rushed into the forest, he simply stood up and shouted, then rushed out.
When everyone behind him heard the sound, they all raised their swords and shouted, and immediately followed him to fight out.
When Gao Kan from behind saw this, he immediately looked anxious and subconsciously shouted: "Coach Yang, please don't be reckless!"
Unfortunately, it was too far away, and there were repeated shouts of killing over there, and the sound could not be transmitted at all.
All they could do was watch helplessly as dozens of brothers and horses went towards each other to kill each other.
The Jin soldiers did not know the number of traps in the forest, and were afraid of rushing into them and being ambushed, so they did not dare to move forward. However, when they saw the people in the forest taking the initiative to fight out, it was a different story.
The leading squad leader immediately shouted angrily, brandishing his sword and commanding his men to charge.
In just an instant, the men and horses on both sides were killed in one place, and blood flowed freely.
More than a dozen cavalrymen and horses faced off against dozens of people, but the golden soldiers did not fall behind, killing them back and forth, and their momentum became more and more fierce.
