Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Mang Mountain, which was originally peaceful, became completely lively.
Mang Mountain is not only the burial ground of the Han Dynasty, but also a training ground. It also serves as a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang.
Due to Liu Hongyujia's personal visit, Mangshan had been under martial law three days ago, and the military exercise site was surrounded by soldiers inside and outside.
There is absolutely no need to worry about safety issues. It is no exaggeration to say that except for those flying in the sky, it is difficult for all species on the ground to enter!
Mangshan Martial Arts Arena, a venue that has been abandoned for many years, is now being reused.
A grandstand has been set up in the martial arts arena, but the grandstand only occupies a small part of the martial arts arena. The entire martial arts arena is very large. If you stand at the edge, your vision will even be blurry in the stands!
On the stand, Emperor Liu Hong was sitting in the center, and all the three princes and nine ministers were present!
There were also captains, generals, and other personnel from various ministries present, and there were no fewer than ten thousand people in the entire martial arts arena!
Liu Zhang's position today is very special. He has surpassed the position of the three princes and sits closely next to Liu Hong. He is even seated further forward than the protagonist on the other side, General He Jin!
Liu Zhang kept looking at the faces below him and couldn't help but find many old acquaintances.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and other eight people sat together. According to Liu Zhang's estimation, they should be the newly promoted Eighth Captain of Xiyuan. However, the leader attracted Liu Zhang's attention.
I saw that this person had no white beard and had a feminine look on his face. His body shape and temperament are extremely inconsistent with his face!
The weather is very cold now, but this man is wearing very little and is very conspicuous in the crowd! However, this man has a rather majestic figure and looks powerful.
Liu Zhang has been on the battlefield for a long time. Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that this person is definitely not an easy person!
"Ai Qing is looking at Jian Shuo?"
Liu Zhang was slightly surprised and couldn't help asking Liu Hong,
"Your Majesty, is he Colonel Jian Shuo?"
Liu Hong nodded. Jian Shuo was promoted by him personally and deeply trusted by him.
"Yes, Jian Shuo is strong and capable of martial arts, and he is also very loyal to me!"
At this time, a soldier ran up from below and knelt down in front of Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, both parties are ready, just waiting for your Majesty's order!"
Liu Hong stood up, took a deep breath, and then shouted.
"start!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Liu Hong gave the order, and the sound of drums suddenly sounded, and then he saw two parties of people gathering on the field.
Woohoo!
Not long after, the sound of drums and trumpets also followed, and the entire martial arts arena instantly took on the atmosphere of a battlefield, and everyone became nervous unconsciously.
The sound of drums and trumpets is so penetrating to the heart, even in the cold weather, it can make people's blood boil!
The leader of He Jin's side is He Miao. That's right, the cavalry general He Miao personally leads the troops! I saw that the three thousand soldiers under He Miao were all cavalry! The entrance begins when the drums sound, and the formation begins when the trumpet sounds!
He Miao's three thousand soldiers are already quite orderly. The cavalry is not as flexible as the infantry. There will still be some confusion in the formation due to the presence of horses. But this is innocuous. Overall, He Miao's soldiers are already considered elite!
Each of the three thousand cavalrymen wore leather armor and held long spears. Because it was a military exercise, the long guns were replaced by wooden sticks, and cloth strips were wrapped around the gun heads to prevent casualties.
If there were no 500 cavalry under Liu Zhang for comparison, the cavalry under Commander He Miao would definitely be considered as powerful as a rainbow!
pity! In front of the Wu Feng camp, all the soldiers paled.
The Wufeng camp was led by two generals under Liu Zhang, Zhao Yun in the front, and Tai Shici in the center of the soldiers. However, in the eyes of outsiders, only Zhao Yun stood out, while Taishi Ci in the formation seemed to blend into the ranks of the soldiers.
Even so, the momentum unleashed by the five hundred people in Wu Feng Camp was astonishing! I saw that each of these soldiers was wearing iron armor, with only their faces exposed. At first glance, they looked like iron men!
The Wu Feng Battalion has maintained a formation since they entered the field with the sound of drums. There has never been any panic. Even after the trumpet sounded and the team stabilized, they still maintained the same appearance as when they entered the field!
The entire formation of Wu Feng Camp is very loose, and the direct distance between people is quite large. The area occupied by a team of 500 people is actually almost the same as that occupied by a team of 3,000 people! This shows the looseness of the personnel battle lines!
At the beginning, Wu Fengying's armor really shocked everyone present, including He Miao who was on the opposite side, and all the ministers in the stands. However, with the sparse formation, everyone began to doubt Liu Zhang's ability to send generals.
"Haha, they say Liu Zhang is the undefeated God of War, but I don't think that's the case! With such a sparse formation, once the cavalry general charges, I think these five hundred people can be annihilated in an instant!"
Yuan Shao in the stands did not hide his contempt for Liu Zhang's men. In his opinion, Liu Zhang must be defeated!
Cao Cao on the side looked more serious, and he was not as optimistic as Yuan Shao.
"Ben Chu, General Hou has been on the battlefield for a long time. Do you think the people he sends will be unknown people? I don't think it's that simple!"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words.
"Mengde, how can you use other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige? The chariot and cavalry generals are also generals who destroy rebels. Can't they crush 500 people with six times the strength?"
Cao Cao did not argue anymore, but he still disagreed with Yuan Shao's words, and he was even more contemptuous of He Miao.
He Miao said he had wiped out the rebels, but in fact he used overwhelming military power to directly wipe out the peasants who had just revolted! No matter in terms of troops, equipment, or supplies, He Miao is far superior to the rebels. If he can't win, then He Miao might as well find a place where no one is and kill him with a piece of tofu!
At this time, a sergeant ran to the edge of the stand and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"His Majesty has ordered that the military exercise begins!"
He Miao straightened up his wooden stick, pointed forward and shouted loudly.
"I am He Miao, the general of chariots and cavalry, who is coming!"
He Miao's intentions are extremely sinister. He has already overwhelmed the opponent with a large force, and now he is still trying to make the opponent timid by relying on his identity!
What a pity, who is he facing? Changshan Zhao Zilong! He was praised by Liu Bei as a tiger general who is full of courage! Not to mention He Miao, even General He Jin was not enough to make Zhao Yun even the slightest bit timid!
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, a military cavalry captain under the command of General Hou! No matter who you are, just come here with your horses!"
He Miao was immediately furious, forgetting that Liu Zhang was so rampant, after all, Liu Zhang's status was quite special. Who do you think, Zhao Yun? A small lieutenant under the command of the Hou General Mansion! Normally, He Miao would not take a second look at this existence!
"What a thief! How dare you not take me seriously! Let's see if you can still be so arrogant when I trample you under my feet!"
"The whole army listens to the order, charge at me! Crush them!"
He Miao roared and immediately gave the order for the entire army to charge. The three thousand cavalry reacted extremely quickly. As soon as the voice fell, they were already rushing forward with all their strength!
The scene of the attack of three thousand cavalry was so spectacular that the ground began to tremble slightly. Every soldier kept roaring and exploded with a momentum that reached the sky!
On the other hand, Liu Zhang's side, including the general, had not made any move yet and were all in a daze!
"Hahaha! These five hundred people are scared to death!"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly and stood up excitedly!
