Chapter 638 The True Face of Mount Lu

"promise!"

The messenger galloped out, rushed to Ma Chao's side, and shouted loudly: "General Ma, the general has an order, ordering your troops to attack immediately, break through the enemy's encirclement, and support Wen Hou and the Youzhou army to break out of the encirclement." .”

"Got the order!"

Ma Chao couldn't wait to shout. He just sat watching the armies fighting. He couldn't hold it anymore. He looked at Liu Ye from time to time and even sent someone to ask for instructions. However, Liu Ye never gave permission. Ma Chao had to wait patiently. Now Finally we were able to send troops.

"Soldiers!" Ma Chao excitedly galloped out of the formation and loudly lectured Qian Fengyue's army in front of the formation.

"The name of our army is Fuyue Army, which is the name given by the general himself! Fuyue means that it can carry mountains on its back. Our army is the pillar of the imperial court. It cannot destroy anything wherever it goes. You are all mine. The bravest son in the Xiliang army, so he was selected into the negative Yue army."

"Now!" Ma Chao pointed his tiger-headed golden spear at the heavy encirclement of Wuhuan's cavalry: "Do you dare to clash with the army and let these barbarians know that we have failed the Yue army?"

"dare!"

"Kill Hu!"

"One Han is like five barbarians, let these barbarians know how powerful our Han family is!"

The Qianfei Yuejun showed no fear. Instead, they all looked excited and high-spirited. Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction.

"Very well, attack!"

Following the direction pointed by the tiger-headed Zhan Jinqiang, the thousands-defeated Yue army who had been preparing for a long time finally revealed their true colors in Mount Lu, and galloped out heavily, their iron hooves hitting the ground, making dull sounds. If the Wuhuan cavalry's previous charge was beating the ground with drumsticks, then the negative Yue army was probably beating the ground with a hammer.

Thousands of Yue soldiers galloped across the ground in an unstoppable manner, as if a moving city wall was advancing rapidly, like a beast showing its fangs.

When the Wuhuan soldiers and Yuan Jun who were fighting fiercely saw the appearance of the negative Yue army, they were all shocked. What kind of army is this? Why have we heard nothing and seen nothing?

The enemy's thousand cavalrymen and horses were all heavily armored. The knights were holding horse spears eight feet long, and on their heads was a sharp three-edged armor-piercing cone, which shone with a cold light under the sunlight. As for the war horse, its whole body was covered in horse armor, with only two eyes exposed. It looked like a steel monster.

When this cavalry charges, they are not scattered in a group like ordinary cavalry, but are arranged in an orderly line. Although the whole team of cavalry cannot be said to be a line, they are vaguely at the same distance, and the steps are uniform. It adds even more power.

This is the result of the more than ten days of closed training. You must know that all those who can be selected for the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry are proficient in riding skills, no less than the Huns and Wuhuan people who grew up on horseback. Therefore, they have been strengthened After training, you will naturally be able to stay neat and uniform.

It is actually necessary for the cavalry to fight in full formation. For example, the French cavalry is not ranked high in Europe as a whole, but during the Napoleonic period, even the elite Mamluk cavalry did not dare to be the vanguard of the French cavalry. Why is this?

It's not that Napoleon's cavalry command skills were superb, but because the French cavalry did not fight individually at that time, but fought in formations. No matter how proficient you are in riding, I will be bumped into by a whole row of cavalry, and the autumn wind will sweep away fallen leaves. Who can resist?

Just like the Iron Buddha of the Jin Dynasty, the Iron Kites and the Guaizima of Xixia, throughout the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, except for the Yue Family Army, no one in the Song Dynasty could be its vanguard.

Today's thousands of Yue soldiers are all equipped with armor and cavalry, and their formations are neat and uniform. They already have a bit of the style of the Iron Buddha. In this dynasty where heavy cavalry is just beginning to appear, they are absolutely invincible in the world.

"What's going on with the enemy army? Why have they never seen such troops and horses before?" Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who had experienced battles for a long time, were both shocked and confused after seeing the armor and riding equipment.

Many of Yuan Jun's counselors also looked surprised and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Only three people showed bewildered expressions.

Yuan Shao, Chunyu Qiong, Chen Lin.

Yuan Shao and Chunyu Qiong were both among the eight Xiyuan captains at that time and served in the Luoyang Forbidden Army, while Chen Lin once served in the General He Jin shogunate.

In other words, all three people have stayed in Luoyang and have connections with top political figures.

Chen Lin murmured to herself: "Could it be that you were optimistic that time in Ping? It doesn't make sense."

Chunyu Qiong frowned: "The number of enemy troops is about a thousand, which should be correct."

"Yes." Yuan Shao confirmed with a complicated expression: "These thousand people should be the thousand armored riding equipment that the late emperor arrayed and displayed during the military parade in Pingtang."

"I originally thought that since Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the capital, these thousand sets of armor and riding equipment would have disappeared, but I didn't expect that they would be able to reappear today." Yuan Shao sighed with emotion.

"My lord." Shen Pei asked doubtfully: "Since my lord has seen this armor and riding equipment that day, how about you tell us about it?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I did see it before, but this thousand-armor riding equipment did not move. It just stood in front of the battle, motionless as a mountain, which was already terrifying. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I’ve seen this armor and riding equipment charge into a siege.”

To be precise, this should be the debut of the heavy cavalry on the battlefield. Although Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and others had seen the appearance of armored cavalry, they had never seen them charging into battle, so they were a little worried.

"It doesn't matter." Feng Ji said: "It's just a thousand people, so what does it count? When the King of Qin swept Liuhe, Bai Qi alone killed no less than a million soldiers from the Six Kingdoms. Even elite soldiers like Wei Wu soldiers , even tens of thousands of people cannot withstand Qin's army, and a thousand armored cavalry and armor are nothing, but our army has a hundred thousand people."

Hearing Feng Ji's words, the civil and military ministers around Yuan Shao nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Yuan Tu is right. There are more than 100,000 troops fighting here. What does a mere thousand people mean?"

"Yes, the enemy army has been heavily surrounded by our army. We will defeat the enemy in a battle later, and even capture Liu Ye is no problem."

"Well, you can ask Su Buyan to open an opening and put these more than a thousand people in, and then surround and kill them."

Hearing the words from his subordinate Wen Wu, Yuan Shao nodded with confidence: "Well, that's right. There are only a thousand people, but I am too careful."

After saying that, Yuan Shao regained his energy, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Order Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Su Puyan to join forces and completely wipe out the enemy's Xiliang army. Then our army came out in one fell swoop. Eliminate Liu Ye."

"Destroy the enemy and destroy Liu Ye!"
