"Tap tap tap..."
Three thousand war horses came towards the wind with neat steps at the same time. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating. The entire land was shaking violently in this torrent.
"Here it comes!" Wang Yu had a slight smile on his face when he heard the news.
It was impossible for him to know that there was a huge flaw in the composition of his army. With this flaw, even if he had many generals under his command, it would be unwise to challenge the opponent head-on.
Moreover, even if Wang Yu himself did not discover the huge flaw in his own existence, with so many outstanding people under his command, wouldn't anyone be able to discover it?
Now that this battle has begun, they naturally have a plan in mind!
In contrast, the expressions of Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong, who seemed to never change, finally began to change.
However, no matter how ups and downs their moods are at this time, what should come will eventually come.
Liangshan is not a wealthy Zhendong Army, fully half of it is made up of cavalry. The Zhenbei Army was even more exaggerated, with the share of cavalry reaching two-thirds.
The proportion of these cavalrymen laid the foundation for the strength of Zhendong and Zhenbei to be greater than that of Zhenxi and Zhennan.
As for Liangshan, even if Wang Yu secretly helped them and provided them with the source of the war horses without leaving any trace, Shi Zhixuan and Chang Yuchun have only formed 3,000 horse soldiers out of the 30,000 Liangshan soldiers since they went to Liangshan. That’s all.
Among the three thousand horsemen, Lan Yu, as the commander-in-chief of the army, wore extremely strong armor. In addition to the outer breastplate, he also wears a rope armor underneath.
Behind Lan Yu, the eight hundred cavalrymen in the front had their helmets buckled on their heads. The long lightning-rod-style helmets had bright red tassels fluttering in the wind, like burning fire. Coupled with the armor that shines like lightning, it looks very eye-catching.
These eight hundred people, like Sapphire at the front, took off the masks on their helmets, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. They looked like a group of robots.
There is an essential difference between these 800 people and the remaining 2,000 or so people. Those 2,000 people are just ordinary cavalry, but the 800 people at the front are heavy armored cavalry.
If cavalry is regarded as the tank in the war of the cold weapon era, these heavy cavalry are the tanks among tanks.
Of course, Liangshan did not have the ability to form such a heavy cavalry, but they did not, but Wang Yu did.
Wang Yu received a large sum of property when the family was divided. There were many good things in Liaoyang's treasury, and these eight hundred armors were just one of the many good things.
Moreover, Lan Yu's men and horses are essentially his men. The equipment he gives them is essentially the same as the equipment he gives to his men. They are all strengthening his power, but they are just strengthening it secretly!
The sunlight reflected and amplified on the mirror-like armor of the cuirassier. The brilliance of the metal was like molten lava, rushing in like a death coming out of hell.
The war horse initially pushed forward slowly, followed by small steps, then a trot, and continued to accelerate. By the time the two armies came into contact, the speed of the war horses had been maximized.
Obviously, Lan Yu grasped this distance very well. When the two armies began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the horsepower of these three thousand cavalry was maximized.
As a heaven-level commander, Lan Yu's abilities are certainly guaranteed.
Of course, every dynasty has many famous generals at the beginning of its founding, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there were too many famous generals, such as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu, Mu Ying, etc. Most of them were Lan Yu's bosses, and he did not dare to have a temper. But when these famous generals grew old one by one, Sapphire also began to shine.
And since Lan Yu can step on Bei Yuan's body and rack up records, and even achieved a record of using 10,000 elite cavalry to defeat Bei Yuan's 100,000 troops, there is no need to doubt his cavalry command ability.
In the strong wind, Lan Yu pointed the waist knife straight ahead, and his fingers were deeply embedded in the hemp rope wrapped around the handle of the knife.
He was so dazzled by the sword and armor in front of him that he could hardly open his eyes. Adrenaline hormones are secreted in large quantities, making you want to roar and drink the enemy's blood with the sword in your hand.
It is a pity that as the leader of an army, his body was surrounded by guards on the front, back, left and right. These guards were all first-class soldiers in the army, so it was not his turn to take action personally.
The sudden ambush caused the Hebei Daofu army to panic, and the shrill horn sounded. In the chaotic sight, Lan Yu saw a group of enemy archers rushing out of the crowd, opening their bows and shooting at random.
Unfortunately, the bows and arrows of these archers do not seem to be of any practical use. With the power of these bows and arrows, they cannot cause any danger to the iron lumps at the front. At most, they can only make a clanking sound.
Ranwen
It would be interesting if these archers were holding crossbows instead of longbows. And if it is replaced by an armor-piercing crossbow, then it is time to talk about Lan Yu's heart.
There was only one chance, and before the archer, who had completely fallen into hysteria, could wind up his bow again, Death's sickle turned into a sledgehammer that was as heavy as a mountain, and smashed into the chaotic crowd.
There was no need for the cavalry to wave their sabers. The huge inertia had already knocked a figure into the air.
The massacre began.
Just in front of Lan Yu, a man who looked like a government army officer brandished a spear and rode a big green horse. He led a group of soldiers and rushed forward, wrapping himself up with Lan Yu and others.
This officer seems to have good martial arts skills, and the armor on his body is also interesting. The robes are embroidered with patterns that can only be used by members of the Da Cang royal family. If someone other than the Huangfu family or someone other than the Huangfu family used such a pattern, it would be a crime to lose one's head at least.
Generally speaking, members of the royal family, although they have the advantage of blood, only hold Zongzheng-type or some official positions without real power. Of course, if you are the heir of those powerful royal families, you won't be able to pay so much attention to it.
And if you don't have these connections, if you want to win some positions of real power, you have to join the army and fight or work your way up the political ladder.
However, his helmet did not have the long lightning rods like those of Sapphire and others, but was decorated with a cluster of yellow and red tassels. There were so many that they covered the entire helmet, which made him look like he belonged to the army. Brown hair.
As for the dozens of soldiers following him, they were all armored, tall, and looked quite tough.
Their sudden attack caught Lan Yu and the others by surprise.
