In the era of cold weapons, cavalry has a crushing advantage over other arms. There are only a handful of battles with infantry victory over cavalry, let alone in the field, facing ten times the enemy, and then "weak Song" An army in the army has refreshed our cognition, they are the elite of the Yue family army-Beiwei army.
As one of the five elite troops in ancient China, the Beiwei Army not only formed a crushing advantage in the battle with the Golden Army, but also created a classic example of "infantry defeating the elite cavalry in the plain".
In 1140 AD, Jin Wushu personally led the Tiefutu, which was spreading all over the world, launched the "first battle" against the Southern Song and Northern Expedition Army in an attempt to determine the universe in a battle. However, it was the Yue family who welcomed this heavy armored cavalry. Jin Wushu couldn't believe this scene of some infantry in the army, but what happened next made him even more stunned.
Seeing that the Tiefutu blade had already pierced the Yuejia Army’s chest, I saw these infantrymen, each showing a long sword and axe, and slashing towards the horse's feet with a sharp blade, and these people are the infantry of the Wei army. All at once, the golden soldiers were ruined, and the wailing voices were endless. Yue Fei himself went into battle, shooting left and right bows and shooting arrows!
In the First Battle of Licheng, Yue Fei’s Beiwei army first broke the golden army's elite "carnivore horses" with infantry, and then rushed into the enemy line with a few elite cavalry, and finally defeated the 15,000 elite cavalry and the infantry 100,000 people.
However, Jin Wushu was not reconciled, and 30,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry were assembled to attack Yingchang. Yue Yun, with eight hundred cavalry soldiers of the Wei army, fought before the decisive battle, and once again broke the gold. The army's elite horsemen killed "people as blood, horses as blood horses," and the large army followed up, "killing Wushu son Xia Jinwu and deputy army Nianhan Suowei, Wushu fleeing."
Later in Zhuxian Town, the 500-back wei elite broke more than a hundred thousand gold army. The Jinren even sighed that "shaking the mountain is easy, shaking the Yue family's army is difficult".
Yue Fei’s back Wei army is Yue Fei’s guard, infantry controlled by Yue Yun, and cavalry controlled by Wang Gang. The two troops were uniformly controlled by Yue Yun. The cavalry is mainly equipped with long and short knives, about ten short crossbows, twenty hard bow bows and arrows, and iron blade leather armor.
The tactics of the Beiwei Army are changeable, and they are often divided into multiple independent combat teams and cooperate closely. When fighting an enemy, seven or eight people would release arrows when they were more than a hundred steps away. Seven or eight people would shoot horses with short crossbows, then slash them with long swords, charge quickly, gather, and charge again, thereby killing and wounding a large number of enemy soldiers. .
With this powerful force, Yue Fei won every battle.
