In 1126, 17 Jin soldiers returned to the camp with Song Qinzong's "Land Cutting and Seeking Peace", and on the way encountered a Northern Song garrison of 2,000 people, and the Northern Song garrison did not receive the order to negotiate peace, directly"

In 1126, 17 Jin soldiers returned to the camp with Song Qinzong's "Book of Peace of Cutting Land", and on the way encountered a Northern Song garrison of 2,000 people, who did not receive the order to negotiate peace and directly "covered" the past. The 17 cavalry were not in a hurry, divided into 3 teams, and only used a charge to disrupt the 2,000-strong Northern Song army, and then, 17 Jin soldiers began to slash and kill, and the 2,000-strong Northern Song army collapsed in an instant. Casualties on both sides were 1:118!

In this case, in which less wins more, it is difficult to find a second case in the entire history of Chinese warfare.

It can be seen from this that the weakness of the combat effectiveness of the Northern Song army has been outrageous.

However, the strangest thing about the whole incident was that there were only 17 Golden Soldiers, and they were able to organize an effective attack when facing an enemy several times larger than themselves. The fighting qualities of these golden soldiers are already close to god.

According to the records, these 17 men were all "heavy cavalry", which looked like "iron towers" from a distance, and the men and horses were covered in armor, only their eyes were exposed, and the swords could not hurt them in the slightest.

Such heavy cavalry appeared many times, and during the Jing Kang period, Hu Zhiru led an army of 10,000 people, and also encountered the "100 heavy cavalry" of the Jin army in Xiangyi (present-day Sui County, Henan).

As a result, the Song army "tens of thousands of people, without a fight to self-collapse."

The "heavy cavalry" of that era can be regarded as the special forces of the era of cold weapons.

Although the weak Northern Song Dynasty had strong economic strength, it never kept up with the military changes in time and trained its own ace troops. #History##Northern Song Dynasty##战争 #
