Chapter 42
Because the scout battalion has war horses, plus the training of scouts and various intelligence collection knowledge from film and television dramas and military novels taught by Xiao Qi in his previous life memories.
More and more information has been sent by the scout battalion recently.
From these information, Xiao Qi learned that the Jin army of nearly 1 people had assembled in Chuzhou, and had already begun to march towards Xinghua City.
The 1 people were divided into three waves, and the front army turned out to be 500 cavalry and 500 infantry, a total of 3000 people. At this time, they had already left Chuzhou City and rushed towards them.
The center army consists of [-] elite infantry and [-] cavalry, and the rear army consists of [-] infantry troops escorting grain, grass and baggage.
The general of the handsome army is Tuo Man, and the Jin Kingdom conferred on him the third-rank General Pingnan.
Looking at this military position, Xiao Qi couldn't help sneering, "Your grandma is a flower Kucha!"
Now that Lao Tzu has come to the Southern Song Dynasty, you gang of tartars who are lingering in the cracks are waiting to die!
Because Xiao Qi liked "Water Margin" in his previous life, he had read a lot of historical materials from the Southern Song Dynasty.
He clearly knew that the Jin Kingdom's army was brave in the early days, but it was not good in the mid-term, and even began to fear war after the mid-term.
In the end, they subjugated the country before the Southern Song Dynasty. In order to resist the Mongolian cavalry, the Southern Song Dynasty even sent troops to help them resist the Mongolian soldiers.
Now that the Kingdom of Jin has passed the early stage, although there is still some courage, as long as the Southern Song Dynasty dares to fight, the Kingdom of Jin would not dare to fight head-on with the Southern Song Dynasty.
It's not that the army of the Southern Song Dynasty was powerful, but that Mongolia has now risen strongly, and it has begun to look around and loot everywhere.
If the Kingdom of Jin dared to fight the Southern Song Dynasty with all its strength, it is estimated that their old nest would be copied by Mongolia before the outcome of the war in the south came out.
Tapping the words General Pingnan with his fingers, Xiao Qi decided to leave this kid on the south bank of the Huaihe River.
But I have to study how to deal with the enemy.
After all, although I have recruited hundreds of defeated soldiers from Chuzhou these days, there are only 2000 troops on my side now.
Not only are there five times as many people as me, but even the cavalry who crush everything on the battlefield are seven or eight times as many as me.
Don't say that I killed others, if I don't pay attention, my 2000 people will be eaten by others.
When he was thinking about how to deal with this war, the soldiers outside came to report, saying that the two members of the scout battalion had military reports.
Xiao Qi came to the living room and saw these two heads.
Seeing Xiao Qi coming in, the two who had just been appointed by Xiao Qi stood up and saluted.
These two are the talents discovered by Xiao Qi's careful investigation. One is called Ma Shoucheng. Like himself, he is a descendant of an old soldier of the Song Dynasty.
He is not weak, but because he was dissatisfied with the previous officials who feared the battle and reprimanded the officials in public, he was almost beheaded and sent to the scout camp.
Later, when he performed well in the selection of scouts, Xiao Qi caught Xiao Qi's attention, found out his past, and immediately gave him the position of head of the scout capital.
The other was Qin Tu, the son of a guard in the Northern Song Dynasty.
When the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated, his family was completely killed. At the age of ten, he was desperately protected by his father's soldiers and fled to the south. After that, he practiced martial arts with his father's soldiers since he was a child. He changed his name to Qin Tu and vowed to kill all Jinren.
His experience was similar to that of Ma Shoucheng, because he could not understand Shangguan's fear of fighting, contradicted Shangguan and even beat him.
He who had reached the eighth grade Zhengwulang was stripped of his official position and beaten with twenty military sticks and sent to the scout battalion to die.
It was also taken under by Xiao Qi along with the thousand defeated soldiers, but this Qin Tu was known to Xiao Qi because of the last time he took the initiative to sign up to join Xiao Qi in a surprise attack on the thousand golden soldiers.
Knowing the experience of the two, Xiao Qi, who is short of officers now, directly appointed the two as the two leaders of the scout battalion that he valued the most.
He also told them that as long as he made military achievements in the Changsheng Battalion, he would help them reapply for new official positions, and it is not impossible for Qin Tuguan to return to his original post.
The two of them admired Xiao Qi, a young general who was half his age. In addition to the kindness of acquaintance, they both expressed their willingness to follow a brave officer like Xiao Qi to death, even if they died in battle.
It doesn't matter if you are an official or not, as long as you can kill the gold thief.
This time the two came to Xiao Qi to report a piece of news they had just found out to Xiao Qi.
It turned out that they found out that among the [-] former troops who came this time, the [-] infantry were an army coerced by the Jin army from Koryo.
The combat power of this army is not very good, but it is very rampant to follow the golden army to do evil.
The two of them found out based on the intelligence report that the cavalry of the five hundred gold army did not regard these Korean soldiers as human beings at all.
These Goryeo troops hated and feared the cavalry of the Five Hundred Jin Kingdom.
The two felt that this was an opportunity. They should be able to use the mutual gap between the two parties to separate them and kill them.
Then the two told Xiao Qi the strategy they had discussed before.
In fact, the strategy is very simple. The cavalry of the Jin army looked down on these Korean soldiers, and they rode fast.
They did not want to be with these two thousand and five hundred people. Apart from sending people to the Goryeo military camp to ask for military rations, they basically had no interaction with them.
They were all riding slowly seven or eight miles away from the 500 people.
The two felt that this was a good opportunity for a sneak attack, and they felt that when they got closer to Xinghua City, the cavalry of the Golden Army would definitely not dare to be so careless anymore.
At that time, they will be stationed together with these two thousand and five hundred people, and they will lose the opportunity to defeat them individually.
And the two of them also told Xiao Qi that the 500 cavalry of the Golden Army were not strong enough, because they had encountered the scouts on their side several times, but they were discovered first by their scouts and succeeded in sneak attacks.
At present, there are [-] horses captured by the opponent alone, and on my side, only two people were seriously injured and more than ten people were slightly injured, and no one was killed in battle.
Xiao Qi thought for more than ten minutes, took out the map and looked at it, and finally made a decision to ambush them when they were more than halfway through the march.
At the same time, the battalions were ordered to be assembled, and the officials came to discuss matters.
After the officers of several battalions had arrived, Xiao Qi ordered the scout battalion with horses and the sword battalion to follow him to ambush the five hundred cavalry troops of the Jin army.
The other scouts were assigned to each battalion, and they took a shortcut to ambush on the road between the cavalry and infantry of the Jin army. Those Korean soldiers would not dare not save them when they learned that the cavalry of the Jin army had been attacked.
When they rush to rescue, each battalion should use all their strength to ambush them. They don't need to be completely annihilated to repel them, but only need to hold them for half an hour.
When the time comes, I have killed all the five hundred cavalry troops, and I will rush to help them immediately, trying to wipe out all these Korean soldiers on the road!
The battalion officers immediately led the troops and set off. Xiao Qi asked Zhang Xiu to lead the remaining 200 old, weak, and sick soldiers to guard Xinghua City at home to prevent the city from being attacked by others.
After the arrangement was completed, the ministries set off quietly.
After the battalions and the scout battalions acted together this time, the officers and soldiers of the battalions also understood why Xiao Qi valued scouting.
Along the way, scouts kept bringing the heads and mouths of the Jinjun scouts who had been intercepted, and all the news sources of the Jinjun were basically blocked here.
And my own side is very clear about the movements of the Jin army, and now the leaders of the battalions are really convinced that Xiao Qi attaches great importance to scouts.
Because none of the Jin army's scouts could go back alive, the soldiers of Xiao Qi's battalions had been trained for two months, and they moved quickly and had good military discipline.
Although Jin Jun discovered that the two waves of scouts he had sent out had not returned any news, their officials were a little puzzled, but they never thought that the two waves of scouts they sent would be wiped out by others.
It wasn't until Xiao Qi and the others arrived at the time agreed with the infantry and launched an attack on the unprepared Golden Army cavalry that the officers of the Golden Army cavalry really understood why none of the scouts came back.
Following Xiao Qi's sword team of more than 200 people and dozens of cavalry scouts, he entered the five hundred gold army cavalry.
Originally planned to eat the five hundred golden soldiers who rode the cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty from the three hundred or so cavalry, but they collapsed after only holding on for less than 5 minutes!
Because Xiao Qi led this team to fight the Jin Army from the beginning, it was like a red hot knife inserted into butter, it was like taking a walk in his own backyard.
In the Golden Army Cavalry, they can walk as they want, and in just a few minutes, the formation of the Golden Army Cavalry was messed up.
The most frightening thing was the little general who took the lead, he was simply a murderer!
Within a few minutes of the battle, the number of golden soldiers killed by him exceeded dozens!
Not only that, the man also shouted: "Kill people as much as possible, and don't hurt the horse if you can!"
