Chapter 680 Heavy Cavalry

A series of urgent reports echoed through the tent.

The face of Emperor Tianwu immediately became extremely nervous.

Zhang Luan, Song Chenxing, Jian Chengfeng, etc., all ran over quickly.

"What's going on?" Emperor Tianwu asked.

Song Chenxing looked solemn, "It seems that the Zhongshan Army in the city has been dispatched!"

"Not good!" Zhang Luan's face changed drastically, "Quick, tell the whole army to prepare for battle!"

They arranged a lot of soldiers to keep watch tonight, and also sent out a lot of scouts, but they just arrived today, and many soldiers were already exhausted after marching for days, so most of the soldiers were sleeping peacefully tonight.

"Quick! What are you still standing there for? They are going to fight us!"

However, everyone did not move, and all looked at Emperor Tianwu.

There was no way, Emperor Tianwu was their lord, and although Zhang Luan's status was high, it was not enough to make decisions on behalf of Emperor Tianwu.

Emperor Tianwu didn't care about anything else and immediately said: "Send an order, order all soldiers to prepare for battle."

In fact, without Emperor Tianwu's order, many soldiers had been awakened by various noises.

One by one, the soldiers of Daliang were awakened from their sleep, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the tents like a conditioned reflex.

Of course, this was the reaction of the elite soldiers. Daliang only had 100,000 elite soldiers, and the rest were ordinary soldiers who had been on the battlefield, so they reacted slower.

In fact, no matter how fast or slow they reacted, it was useless.

Because the first Chongshan Army had already rushed into the camp of the Daliang Army.

Lu Miaoheng led the 6,000 cavalry of the Zhenbiao Left Camp and the 6,000 cavalry of the Yang Family Army, and took the lead in rushing into the camp of the Daliang Army from the west.

The Zhenbiao Five Camps had 30,000 soldiers, and the Yang Family Army also had 30,000 soldiers.

In fact, the so-called Yang Family Army was trained according to the organization of the Zhenbiao Five Camps. The combination of the two armies was equivalent to doubling the expansion of the Zhenbiao Five Camps.

In addition to the East Route Army led by Luo Feiyu, there were actually nearly 80,000 soldiers in Baoding City at this time.

Half of the current Zhenbiao Zuoying are iron-clad cavalry, and the other half are cotton-clad cavalry, that is, cotton-clad armor made of armor plates made from Dihuo Island.

In terms of defense, this kind of cotton armor is definitely not as good as iron armor, but cotton armor has the advantages of cotton armor, that is, lightness and flexibility.

"Kill!"

Lu Miaoheng, holding a Dihuo steel spear and riding a tall warhorse, directly broke through the simple wooden fence wall of the camp and rushed in first.

He is the youngest son of Lu Wenchun, but now he is 37 years old. He was born almost when Yang Zhengshan was in Yinghebao.

At that time, Lu Wenchun was also in Yinghebao, working as a clerk under Yang Zhengshan.

When Lu Miaoheng started to practice martial arts, it was when Yang Zhengshan was in Chongshanguan, that is, when he served as the general of Chongshan Town.

Yang Zhengshan transferred Lu Wenchun to Chongshan Pass, and Lu Miaoheng followed him.

Since then, Lu Wenchun has settled down in Chongshan Pass.

So Lu Miaoheng grew up in Chongshan Pass, and he practiced the Yang family's spearmanship, just like the children of the Yang family.

After Yang Chengye stayed in Chongshan Town, Lu Miaoheng became a soldier under Yang Chengye.

Although Yang Chengye and Lu Miaoheng are cousins, Lu Miaoheng's ability to become a guerrilla general is not due to his relationship.

To put it bluntly, there are a lot of soldiers and generals in Chongshan Town who have a relationship with the Yang family, but there are only a few who can really become guerrilla generals.

Yang Chengye will consider the closeness of the relationship when hiring people, but he pays more attention to ability and strength.

Without sufficient ability and strength, at most you can just get a position in logistics.

For example, Lu Miaochang, the son of Lu Wenhua, has the same relationship and is about the same age. He may have served as a soldier under Yang Chengye at the same time, but Lu Miaochang is still only a thousand households, standing guard at the Dusi Yamen of Chongshan Town.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen led by Lu Miaoheng rushed into the Daliang Army camp, sweeping the western area of ​​the Daliang Army camp like a hurricane.

The Daliang Army in this camp are all ordinary soldiers. Although they have also been on the battlefield and seen blood, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to the soldiers of Chongshan Town who are fully equipped with weapons and armor.

"Charge, pass the order, charge!"

Lu Miaoheng swept away the enemy in front with a shot, and at the same time did not forget to order the soldiers behind him.

His mission tonight is to attack the western area of ​​the Daliang Army camp, and he must attack this area of ​​nearly ten miles several times.

"Kill, go forward without hesitation, and fight to the death!"

At this time, they had already rushed into the depths of the Daliang army camp, and they finally met an elite Daliang army coming to support them.

Whether they are elite or not, you can tell by looking at the armor on their bodies.

Ordinary soldiers of the Daliang army wear leather armor or cotton armor at most, and only some middle-level military officers have iron armor.

And most of the elite of the Daliang army can wear a set of strict cotton armor, and a small number of low-level military officers can wear iron armor.

As for those with full body armor, they must be the elite of the elite to be equipped by the whole army.

There is no way. Although Daliang has developed well in recent years, their foundation is still too weak. For them, iron armor is still relatively scarce.

"Go forward without hesitation, and fight to the death!"

"Go forward without hesitation, and fight to the death!"

A series of hoarse voices sounded, and Lu Miaoheng rushed to the elite of Daliang in front without stopping.

He swung his spear, piercing the enemies one by one. In a moment, his body was covered with bright red blood, and even the horses under his command turned blood red.

Time passed by little by little, and there seemed to be more and more enemies in front of them. Lu Miaoheng no longer cared about anything else, but just clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the spear in his hand kept dancing, piercing one enemy after another. .

It was not until there was a gap in front of him that he could no longer see the enemy and the camp that he suddenly realized that they had already penetrated the camp of the Daliang Army.

Looking back at the soldiers behind him, Lu Miaoheng ignored everything else and took the soldiers to drive the horses and accelerate, then turned around and plunged into the camp of the Daliang Army.

With Lu Miaoheng's rush, the western area of ​​the Daliang Military Camp was completely in chaos.

Countless Daliang soldiers fled everywhere in panic.

The defeat is inevitable.

Similarly, the situation in the southern area of ​​Daliang Military Camp is similar.

Zhou Shangan led the Zhenbiaoyou Camp to attack the southern area of ​​the Daliang Army Camp, and he also had three thousand heavy armored cavalry under his command.

The heavy armored cavalry is the cavalry that is armed to the teeth, and it is also the most elite cavalry in Chongshan Town.

Their heavy armor is very different from ordinary iron armor. Their armor is thicker, not only is their upper body wrapped in iron armor, but their lower body is also covered with iron armor on horseback.

They also carried face armor, and even the war horses under them were wearing face armor.

In fact, the most important thing for heavy armored cavalry is not heavy armor or soldiers, but the war horses under them.

It must be a true and top-notch horse to be a war horse for heavy armored cavalry.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Those war horses need to gallop on the battlefield with the weight equivalent to two people, and have high requirements for the strength and endurance of the war horses.

The combat methods of heavy armored cavalry are completely different from ordinary iron armored cavalry. Ordinary iron armored cavalry rely on charge. According to Yang Zhengshan's concept of cavalry, it is to charge continuously, either die on the way to charge or break through the enemy formation.

The heavy armored cavalry is different. The war horses under their crotch are taking small steps and running slowly. Their speed is far inferior to that of the iron armored cavalry, so they cannot charge.

Therefore, all they can do is to raise two iron bones and smash them hard after entering the enemy formation. No matter whether it is a man or a horse, as long as they dare to get close, they will give them a blow.

No matter whether the enemy is wearing cotton armor or iron armor, if the hammer goes down, the bones will break and the flesh and blood will rot into pieces.

When three thousand heavily armored cavalry rushed into the Daliang military camp, they immediately turned into a group of butchers. They relied on their heavy armor and hammered all the creatures they encountered without any scruples.

The sword and gun pierced them, and except for a spark, they could not cause damage to them at all. Unless the enemy has a cultivation level of more than the third level of the acquired level, it would be difficult to cause fatal damage to them.

But how many warriors are above the third level of the acquired army in Daliang.

"Come on, don't run away. You scoundrels, get out of here and die!"

The former chief of the Yang family army's central camp, and the current chief of the Zhenbiao Central Camp, Lu Zhichao, had a pair of tiger eyes looking at the soldiers of the Daliang Army fleeing everywhere in front of him, making hoarse roars.

Lu Zhichao, the son of Lu Xinghe, was not wanted to let the entire Lu family follow the Yang family to Xingyue Island, but he still asked his son Lu Xinghe to go to Xingyue Island to help the Yang family.

After Lu Xinghe went to Xingyue Island, he had no intention of returning to Darong. As a result, the Lu family moved back to Xingyue Island after a few years of settlement in Darong's house and became one of the affiliated families of the Yang family.

Mrs. Deng later resigned and returned to Xingyue Island with her son.

However, because the Lu family is poor, the Lu family does not have much reputation on Xingyue Island, and is far inferior to many families such as the Zhen family, Luo family, and Xie family.

Mrs. Deng is also very low-key and rarely shows up. She always teaches a few grandchildren at home.

Although the Lu family is not valued by the Yang family on Xingyue Island, Miss Deng is not dissatisfied with the Yang family.

The Yang family is different from the Xingyue Sect before. Xingyue Island under the Yang family originally had many affiliated families and many ordinary people. The Yang family has a strict reward system and fair and generous cultivation salary.

Although the Lu family does not have much say on Xingyue Island, they have obtained a lot of resources.

The key is that they have not been excluded at all and their lives are smooth.

At the beginning, they were unable to integrate into the Xingyue Gate because they were excluded by many families in the Xingyue Gate. Now that they have integrated into the Yang family, they can naturally live a stable life.

In fact, Miss Deng didn’t want much, she just wanted a force that would allow her children and grandchildren to live a peaceful life.

As long as this force is willing to accept them sincerely, they are willing to contribute to this force.

Whether it is Xingyue Gate or Darong, it is difficult for them to integrate into it.

On the contrary, they can integrate well from the Yang family.

What Mrs. Deng wants most now is to marry the Yang family, whether she can marry a Yang family daughter or let her granddaughter or great-granddaughter marry into the Yang family, she is very happy to accept it.

The words are a little far, let's talk about it first.

Although Lu Zhichao was just a general, he led the heavy armored cavalry that had just been formed for a year.

There are five hundred armored cavalry under his command, and each of them is the best soldier.

If the cavalry led by Lu Miaoheng swept across the entire camp like a hurricane, the heavily armored cavalry led by Lu Zhichao would be like a sea of ​​fire. Although they were not as fast as hurricanes, as long as they passed by, they were the place where they passed. , it will turn into a dead place.

However, this battlefield is not the most terrifying place for heavy cavalry. The central camp of the Daliang Army is where the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry show off their power.

The central camp of the Daliang Army has the most elites, especially the five thousand personal soldiers of Emperor Tianwu, who are definitely the elite among the elites.

Each of them is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and each of them is wearing iron armor and full of iron blood.

The five thousand personal soldiers are well-trained. When the scouts sent the first report, the five thousand personal soldiers guarded around the camp of Emperor Tianwu. At this time, these personal soldiers were already in full battle formation, just waiting for the Chongshan Army to attack.

The central camp of the Daliang Army has the most elites, so there are more Chongshan soldiers coming to attack the camp.

In addition to the 15,000 reinforcements led by Luo Feiyu who are cruising around the camp, the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers of the Zhenbiao Camp rushed to the central camp of the Daliang Army.

There were 1,000 heavily armored cavalrymen in front to clear the way, 8,000 heavily armored infantrymen in the back to strangle the enemy, and more than 20,000 infantrymen in the rear to charge everywhere.

Most of the cavalrymen of the Chongshan Army went to the two wings. There were only 1,000 heavily armored cavalrymen in the central army camp, but there were 8,000 heavily armored infantrymen.

When the fire in the camp shot up to the sky, the 8,000 heavily armored infantrymen covered in iron cans killed everywhere like butchers.

Liang Xiu and Song Jie, each led 4,000 heavily armored infantrymen to break through one camp after another, and defeated wave after wave of Daliang's elite troops.

And Yang Chengye, with four Xiantian followers, rushed directly to the camp of the Tianwu Emperor's commander-in-chief with Yang Mingwu and Wang Dahe.
