Chapter 990 Shaking the Mountains is Easy, Regretting the Yue Family's Troops
Although Tiefutu was also called the hard army by the Jin people, it was different from the hard army of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Balisu and others.
Tiefutu is a pro-Wushu army with better equipment.
This is specifically reflected in the craftsmanship and loading of the armor, the configuration of the cavalry, the types of war horses, and the physical fitness of the cavalry themselves.
In the winter of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the first war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty kicked off. At that time, Wu Shu was still the governor under Marshal Zuo, and his rank was the same as that of Li Cheng now.
At that time, Wushu had 5,000 kidnapping horses and 1,000 iron pagodas.
Now no one knows whether Wu Shu has the Iron Buddha Tu in his hands.
Regarding this matter, Zhao Ning even launched many detailed operations in the Kingdom of Jin, but could not find out clearly.
The Military and Political Council of the Great Song Dynasty also made calculations. Iron Buddha Tu's requirements for armor and soldiers were too high, there could not be too many Wushu, and there would never be more than 5,000 people.
However, Zhao Ning himself has also made calculations. In the ninth year of Shaoxing in the official history, the most intense battle of Yancheng between Jin Wushu and Yue Fei, 15,000 kidnap horses and 5,000 iron pagodas were dispatched.
You know, before the Battle of Yancheng, Jin Wushu's Iron Buddha was defeated by Wu Jie and Liu Qi, and was also defeated several times by Yue Fei.
It means that Jin Wushu was reorganized many times and supplemented Tiefu Tu.
If the total number of iron pagodas is added up, it may be more than 10,000.
The Iron Buddha can be regarded as the pinnacle of the heavy cavalry in the Cold Weapon Age.
Later, the Mongolian cavalry were more or less equipped with firearms, and they could no longer simply be said to be cold weapons.
If Jin Wushu really spent 10,000 on such heavy cavalry in one breath, let alone the Wei Army, even if the Shenwu Army and the Shenwei Army were combined, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat them.
According to the timeline of this world, Wu Shu's internal restructuring of the Jin Kingdom may be more thorough, and under the pressure of the Song Dynasty's military, his methods will be more ruthless.
It is still unknown how many iron pagodas Wu Shu can equip.
At this time, Li Cheng had one thousand in his hand.
Those soldiers were tall. Using new weights and measures, each one was over 1.8 meters tall and as strong as an ox.
First of all, we filtered everything from the selection of military units.
The northerners themselves are tall and tall, and it is estimated that all those with strong physiques were forcibly recruited from the civilian population by Wushu to join the army.
Just pull one out, without any equipment, and with your bare hands, it will have no problem beating dozens of normal adults.
It is completely possible to destroy one with one punch.
There are a thousand such people, and they have undergone rigorous military training, reaching a high level of organization and militarization, and are equipped with the top armor, war horses and cold weapons of this era.
When they appeared, the atmosphere of the Jin Army suddenly changed.
The eyes of the elite armored infantry were attracted, and they looked at the iron pagodas with admiration.
The soldiers of Tiefutu are putting on heavy armor, and each of them is equipped with a logistics team. Those logistics troops are nervously putting on the armor for those tall and strong horses.
The war horses were very quiet. Before putting on the armor, the muscles of their whole bodies were full of wild power.
After putting on the iron armor, the war horse turned into a ferocious steel beast.
Soon, those people all put on armor and helmets, leaving only their eyes exposed.
They waved the spears on their hands and the iron bones on their waists, powerfully.
Jin Wushu was able to give Li Cheng a thousand iron pagodas, which is enough to show Li Cheng's status in Jin Wushu's heart.
The iron pagoda begins to form an array.
It looks like rows of steel chariots.
The horn of the Jin Army sounded again.
This made the Thousand Iron Pagodas the focus of everyone.
The Jin Army camp erupted into loud shouts: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The sound went straight into the sky, shaking the heaven and the earth.
Li Cheng waved his token, and the messengers rode to the side of the Tiefu Tu Army and waved their flags.
Tiefutu began to move, and they moved towards the left wing of the Song army.
Under the reflection of the sun, a dazzling metallic luster flows, like a condensed steel moving across the plain.
"Report!" The scout quickly sent the information on the main battlefield to Zhao Chen.
"The Jin Army...the Jin Army has dispatched..." the scout's voice trembled with excitement, "the Jin Army has dispatched the Iron Buddha Tu!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone in the camp was startled, and then their expressions became solemn.
The year before last, Dong Tan encountered the Tiefu Tu in Gaizhou. In that battle, the entire Divine Guard army was wiped out and Jingguan was built.
That is also the eternal pain in the hearts of the Liaodong Divine Guards.
At this time, the Iron Buddha Tu reappeared on the battlefield, which naturally affected their hearts.
Zhao Chen immediately scolded: "Send the order to Hu Yantong to defeat the Jin army head-on at all costs!"
"yes!"
"Let Zhang Qing quickly enter the rear of the Jin army. If he cannot defeat the rear of the Jin army, let him come to see you with his head raised!"
"Got the order!"
"All armies should be prepared for a deadly battle!"
Everyone said: "Long live my emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
At this time, Tiefutu had slowly approached the left wing of the Song army.
"Commander Yang! Zhang Canjun! The Jin people's iron pagoda is approaching! Prepare to attack the left wing of our army, and there are kidnap horses to help!"
Zhang Jiefu's face looked ugly.
He never expected that the Jin Army would have an iron pagoda on this route.
Jin Wushu actually trusted the generals of the Jin army so much that he was willing to give up to Tiefu Tu.
"Where are the reinforcements from the Divine Guards?" Zhang Jiefu shouted loudly.
"Still ten miles away, we are entangled with a golden army. It may take some time to decide the winner!"
"This is bad!" Zhang Jiefu frowned and suppressed his emotions.
If the whole army were to give an explanation here today, not only would they not be able to give an explanation to Commander Yue, they would also be unable to give an explanation to the imperial court.
Liaodong plays an extremely important strategic role.
It is about the Yinshan battlefield, and more importantly...
It’s even more related to the imperial court’s plan to destroy Xia this year!
Nothing the Zhao Guan family does is based on imagination.
Why did the imperial court fight on such a long front this year and give Yu Yunwen such a difficult battle?
Because this time, Zhao Guanjia wants to challenge the two major military groups in the world today!
One is the Jin Kingdom that just destroyed the Liao Kingdom.
One is Xixia who mobilizes his entire team at every turn!
The battle front of the Song Dynasty stretched thousands of miles from Liaodong to Shaanxi.
If you want to destroy Xixia, you must withstand a huge force.
Zhao Ning has been preparing for this moment for ten years!
The battle of Liaodong is the key among the keys.
Zhang Jiefu was entrusted by Yue Fei and came to Liaodong with Yang Zaixing. They came to this unfamiliar place and faced the elite troops of the Jin Army.
Zhang Jiefu took a deep breath and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Is this really going to happen today?
His eyes fell on Yang Zaixing. He wanted to say something, but in the end he was choked up.
