"It doesn't seem like it's for testing, right?"
The eldest prince on the hillside suddenly said, his face changed drastically, and large drops of sweat fell from his forehead.
After the initial stage of the cavalry charge, once it enters the charge stage, it is difficult to stop.
At this time, judging from the position of the smoke, the number of cavalry was about five thousand. Their speed did not slow down and they continued to charge with all their strength. They were only two miles away from the military camp.
At this speed and this distance, it was too late for the cavalry to change direction.
This kind of momentum does not look like friendly forces competing at all, but like a real enemy attacking the military camp!
The eldest prince turned to look at Shangguan Ba, but saw a cold smile on Shangguan Ba's lips. He actually nodded and said:
"Xi Yong, you are right, that is the enemy, a bandit trying to disrupt the transfer of power between Qin Guogong and Wu Guogong!
They just want to kill all the contestants in this Zhengyang martial arts competition and shock the government and the public! "
The eldest prince's real name is An Xiyong. Shangguan Ba accepts him as his disciple, which is equivalent to the eldest prince joining Shangguan Ba's sect. Shangguan Ba is his sub-father, so Shangguan Ba can call the eldest prince by his first name.
After the eldest prince was shocked for a moment, his expression gradually calmed down and he said in a deep voice:
"Since there is an enemy coming, master, let me take the people there!"
Looking at the serious-looking eldest prince, Shangguan Ba actually smiled and asked:
"What are you going to do?"
The eldest prince said matter-of-factly: "I'll save them!"
"Based on your cultivation level, which is not even in the Dacheng realm, or the two hundred iron cavalry guards under your command?
The opponent has at least five thousand cavalry, and I don’t know if there are any rear troops behind them. No matter how elite you are, these two hundred people are just a drop in the bucket! "
"Then you can't do nothing...that's not right! Master, you know that there are rebels, and you even know that they want to attack Zhengyang Wubi's camp!"
The eldest prince seemed to have discovered some secret, and looked at Shangguan Ba with fear in his eyes.
Shangguan Ba obviously brought him here just to see the military camp, but there was nothing good to see five miles away. Only now did he understand that Shangguan Ba had known for a long time that someone would attack the military camp, so he brought him here.
Only this explanation can explain all of Shang Guanba's actions.
Shangguan Ba nodded and said:
"Yes, that's it, Xiyong, your horizons have finally opened up."
God's vision is so broad... The eldest prince said that my heart almost collapsed.
He had never been on the battlefield, and this was the first time he saw cavalry charging into battle. Even though the distance was far away, sitting on the horseback, the eldest prince could still feel an increasingly obvious vibration.
It was the roaring feeling of countless horses stepping in unison, which was the power of the cavalry.
The eldest prince never thought that when the cavalry charges, they can actually gather the power of a natural disaster.
As if responding to the eldest prince's thoughts, Shangguan Ba said calmly: "This is the cavalry.
This is the general trend! "
"You have to remember that the most powerful force in the world is still the army.
No matter how strong an individual's force is, there are limits after all.
But the power of the army and the power of a country can be infinitely improved.
If you become a king in the future, what you have to do is to continuously enhance your strength in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies. "
Shangguan Ba also transmitted some of his life insights to the eldest prince.
"But, master, are we really not going to do anything?" The eldest prince still had worry in his eyes.
Shangguan Ba said with a smile: "Since I know everything about this matter, do you think Qin Guogong and Wu Guogong don't know about it?
The force that forced these people out this time was completely created by the two princes' initiative to join forces.
This group of people was forced to launch this attack, otherwise they would be crushed into scum.
The manipulator behind them will not let this piece go to waste easily.
Even if launching such an attack is almost impossible to succeed, they must do it!
The eldest prince, you have to watch carefully, this is Wu Guogong's final battle.
This is his invincible view of the overall situation and the means to control it! "
At this time, Shangguan Ba was not in a hurry to tell the eldest prince the whole story. He wanted the eldest prince to see the results first, see the final result, and then tell him what the process was like.
In the military camp at this time, Weng Bingliang was standing on the high platform, mustering up his inner strength and shouted:
"You are all the proud sons of heaven who have come to participate in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition. Of course, the title of proud sons of heaven is self-proclaimed by you, and I have never looked down upon you!
But now a powerful enemy has invaded and attempted to attack the military camp. It's time for you, these proud men of heaven, to serve the country.
It just so happened that we set the rules for the second round of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition so that the attack is repelled only when the competition is over. At the same time, the performance of each person in the process was used as the basis for measuring the final results.
Of course, you should also understand that if we cannot resist the enemy, we will all die here today. "
Most of the people in the tents of the military camp below have come out, and everyone can hear and feel the tremors and roars of the earth in the distance.
Many of them had panic looks on their faces.
When Weng Bingliang saw this scene, he immediately knew that these people were not the generals they wanted.
Facing a powerful enemy without a straight face is already a sign of cowardice.
So there was a coldness in Weng Bingliang's eyes. When he saw these people, he couldn't help but show contempt. However, because he was standing on a high platform, the people below could not really see his face clearly.
On the contrary, Liu Xin noticed this detail.
He was still wondering if this was a fake attack, but looking at Weng Bingliang's extremely serious look, he felt that this thing seemed to be true.
Why were they attacked?
Was this planned by the enemy or was it a temporary decision?
If it is a temporary decision, how can the enemy give you a chance to react?
Once the cavalry launches a charge, the furthest distance can be more than ten miles. Of course, this is the longest distance. If it is further, the cavalry will enter a downward trend before charging to the designated position.
By that time, the impact of the cavalry will slowly weaken.
Therefore, this attack must have come from within ten miles.
And outside the imperial capital, there are detection posts within a hundred miles. It is impossible for the enemy to successfully gather at such a close distance without being discovered.
Of course, there is another possibility in this matter, that is, there is a traitor in the imperial capital, and this traitor is of a high level and can affect the exchange of intelligence in the imperial capital.
But this thing seems a bit fantasy when I think about it.
If there really were such high-ranking officials, why did they attack the military camp here?
Now that we have reached this point, it would be great to attack the imperial city.
It's not that Liu Xin's ideas are not bold enough, but that he has not reached that level, so there are some things that he cannot imagine.
He had no way of knowing that this was actually a trap set up by Mi Yusong, Qin Guogong and Wu Guogong.
It was they who forced the other party to mobilize all the cavalry deployed near the imperial capital together.
At this time, Wu Guogong and others were still in the imperial capital, and these five thousand cavalry alone would definitely not be able to attack the imperial capital.
Therefore, they could only settle for the next best thing and choose this military camp.
It can be said that more than half of the young talents of the Zhengyang court gathered here.
If you can kill them here. It was also a huge blow to the Zhengyang court.
And these five thousand cavalry are only part of the force they have prepared.
It was originally used to provide cover and create chaos on the outside, so they didn't feel bad about it.
If the words "not feeling sorry" fell into Liu Xin's ears, I don't know what he would think.
Because the cost of training a cavalry of 5,000 people is at least nearly one million taels a year.
Such a huge price was thrown away so easily, and the forces behind it were so powerful.
Just listen to Weng Bingliang continue to say:
"You only need to do one thing, and that is to receive weapons and prepare to defend against the enemy. If you already have weapons, there is no need to receive them.
Of course our soldiers will stand on the front line and block the first wave of cavalry attacks!
So you just need to hide behind our soldiers and deal with those cavalry that have no impact!
Hope you all make it to Round 3 alive! "
After Weng Binliang said all this, he was about to turn around and leave when he heard a voice beside him.
“I want to participate in the front line blocking battle.
My father once said that only by blocking the first wave of cavalry attacks can we truly block the cavalry offensive. "
Weng Bingliang turned around and glanced at the other person. Just by looking at the outline of the other person's face, he already knew who the other person's father was.
We are all old comrades in arms and are very familiar with each other.
As Brother Shui spoke first, people below him echoed one after another.
"I also want to see how terrifying the cavalry's strongest impact is!
Things like going to the battlefield in the future. It’s better to experience it in advance than to make up for it later.
Besides, it is still near the imperial capital.
On the battlefield in the future, our environment will become very harsh.
What do you think? "
Liu Xin looked at the excited Dan Si next to him and suddenly smiled. No matter whether the so-called Bing Chong Zheng was true or false, he was fearless.
Weng Bingliang was shocked when he saw that there were no less than a hundred people choosing to participate in the first round. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, which was considered a smile.
He didn't refuse, he just said calmly:
"Then hurry up, you bastards, you all owe me money now. If you have a higher military rank or rank than me and want my command, say it now!
Otherwise it will be too late! "
After that, he put on his armor, made a sound of armor scraping, and left with a quick stride.
The roar of war horses in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the earth was shaking more and more violently.
Their lack of experience prevented them from judging how many cavalry units this level of tremor represented.
Facing the unknown, their inner fear was actually amplified, but as a warrior, Xue Yong suppressed this fear.
There are even many people who are looking forward to and yearning for it in their hearts. Of course, such perverts who long for war are only a minority.
It is more about the sense of responsibility as a descendant of a meritorious military general, which is also known as the glory of a wealthy family.
If they lose this, they are no longer worthy of being queens of meritorious service.
Everything they get is built on glory!
Among these people, probably only Liu Xin came purely to see the power of the cavalry.
He always saw some expressions in books saying that the cavalry's charge formation was unstoppable.
Of course, he is not a reckless man. He wants to try whether he can deal with the cavalry purely because of his ability to keep secrets.
Among the Holy Sect, although they have never interfered in government affairs, there are many brothers who have joined the army because of the heroic spirit in their hearts.
Then, after the records were passed down from generation to generation, they were finally gathered into a military encyclopedia.
It contains detailed records of various methods for dealing with cavalry, and even corresponding techniques.
For example, Liu Xin's Mopan Sword, this sword technique of slow and fast can actually be used to deal with sieges.
Most of those who chose to face the cavalry charge were absolutely confident in their own strength.
So basically they are all dancers in the Dacheng realm, and there are only a few two or three from Jianghu.
Among them were the two men and one woman, because the woman saw someone he had longed for.
"Brother Xuanqing went too, and I want to go too!"
"Then we will protect you." Wu Chu'an and Mei Kaixu said loudly, beating their chests loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
Time was very short, and there was no time left for Liu Xin to open the attribute panel. Of course, he didn't have time to watch them one by one.
After Weng Bingliang left, soldiers led everyone to the north side of the military camp. It only took a cup of tea to get here.
And here you can already see the dust stirred up not far away, and there are faint war horses neighing in the dust.
The icy cold light reflected from the weapons and armor would sometimes flash in his eyes.
Facing the cavalry charge from the opposite side, Liu Xin actually had already made a judgment in his mind.
The opposite side is not that kind of top cavalry regiment.
The Holy Sect's military book records that in the most powerful cavalry regiment, all the horses even move at the same pace, and all the cavalry's attacks are perfectly connected and directed like an arm.
When the entire cavalry regiment reaches that point, it is equivalent to gathering the strength of all the cavalry into one. One person can never resist the combined force of thousands of people. Even if you are a grand master, there is no such possibility.
Every step of the top knights is like a thunder, and every step is like a landslide and a tsunami.
This is what was recorded in the book by a senior member of the Holy Sect, but he also noted later that this kind of cavalry regiment only appeared in imagination. In reality, it has never appeared throughout the history of the human race!
But what Liu Xin saw and heard was rather scattered.
Although the cavalry charge was powerful, it did not have the shocking power.
But even so, the momentum carried by the cavalry was enough for everyone to pay attention and prepare for it.
The book records that a standard cavalryman wearing light armor and horses wearing light armor, when the impact is the strongest, the attack power of even an ordinary person with slightly greater strength can reach the level of Xiaocheng. The pinnacle of the realm.
And if the person sitting on the horse is a warrior at the Xiaocheng realm, then his blow will reach the Dacheng realm.
The Dacheng Realm will correspondingly increase the combat power by one level.
This is the bonus brought by cavalry!
With his excellent eyesight, Liu Xin could already see the shimmering metallic luster at the forefront of the smoke.
Although he is not the top elite soldier, he should not be underestimated.
There were actually heavy armored cavalry at the forefront to clear the way!
The main purpose of clearing the way for heavy armored cavalry is to guard against crossbows, or even thousand-oxen crossbows.
However, when Liu Xin turned around and looked around, he did not find any defensive weapons such as the Thousand Ox Crossbow in this military camp.
Without the Thousand Ox Crossbow, if you want to defend against the cavalry charge, relying on those horse-repelling horses is completely useless.
Glancing at Weng Bingliang, who was standing almost at the front, Liu Xin felt that the other party was like a city wall standing there, while the ordinary soldiers looked into the distance. The cavalrymen coming with smoke and dust all over the sky looked less like they were looking at an enemy than at a lover.
There was actually a strong desire in his eyes.
Is it impossible to survive without distinguishing between demons?
Liu Xin estimated that the cavalry in front was only about two miles away, and Dansi was on his left.
The latter took a shield from nowhere and threw it to Liu Xin.
"Brother Liu, I saw that you didn't go to get the equipment, so I got a piece for you."
Liu Xin tried the shield in his hand. It weighed twenty kilograms and could defend about half of the body. The shield was considered a heavy shield, but it was not used to defend against cavalry.
The shield specially used to defend against cavalry is the kind that is as tall as a person, and there are even raised spikes on the shield.
The soldier only needs to insert the shield on the ground and press it with his body to form an inclined plane, which can minimize the impact caused by the cavalry.
As long as there are four or five layers of such a defensive shield array, it can effectively resist the impact of cavalry.
Unfortunately, there is no such condition now.
Weng Bingliang is also a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. It is impossible for him not to know this truth, but he did not use a shield formation, which means that there is indeed no such equipment in the military camp.
At this moment, Liu Xin began to mutter again. Was this just a drill test, or was he really under attack?
But the next moment the enemy on the opposite side answered Liu Xin's question.
Liu Xin's ear moved and he heard a familiar buzzing sound.
This is the sound caused by crossbows, and it is the sound caused by an extremely large number of crossbows.
In the blink of an eye, a burst of black mist suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xin, which was the overwhelming crossbow arrows.
The cavalry must bring two pieces of equipment when charging. One is a spear for charging and piercing, and the other is a powerful crossbow for long-range strikes.
In addition to being the most powerful when used as a defense on the city wall, the power of the crossbow can be made more powerful when on the horseback of the cavalry.
And generally when the cavalry charges to the front of the formation, they will fire several rounds of volleys to force the opponent to dare not take the lead, which can reduce the losses of the cavalry.
Because the cavalry are also most afraid of the opponent's crossbow volleys. The arrows shot by the opponent plus their own speed will form a terrible acceleration, making the arrows shot by the opponent also more powerful.
Therefore, when the cavalry charges, they must ensure that they fire arrows before the opponent.
Of course, the cavalry also has countermeasures, that is, the heavy cavalry at the front.
Heavy cavalry not only wears heavy armor on the knights and holds large shields, but also the horses sitting down are wearing light armor.
Such war horses are generally the most powerful, the largest and most muscular horses, and the warriors who ride them are also the most elite.
