Liu Dai's small group of 60,000 troops pressed forward, but they were defeated by 30,000 Xiliang troops.
As the situation on the field became more and more corrupt, Zhang Miao at the back also frowned, no longer showing the presence of the old god before.
"Brother, let's send troops!" Zhang Chao persuaded, "Half of Dong's army has been put in. At this time, we only need to send 30,000 troops to annihilate the army. The remaining 70,000 people will be killed. It can be used to prevent the Dong thieves from counterattacking."
As soon as this statement came out, Bao Xin immediately aroused his approval.
"Meng Gao's words are right. It is the best time to send troops now."
Zhang Miao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. After all, all the soldiers and horses under Liu Dai's command pressed forward, and his goal had been achieved.
Next, it's time to show off your skills and defeat Thief Dong.
"Okay, Meng Gao, Yuncheng, you two will each lead 20,000 troops..."
Before he finished speaking, the situation in the battle ahead changed again.
When the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, Dong Zhuo rushed out of another army of ten thousand people from his own formation and charged towards the field.
Different from the previous Xiliang cavalry, the sound of horse hooves from this cavalry is extremely low and rhythmic, and it does not seem to be very fast.
When the cavalry came closer, Zhang Miao and others took a deep breath after seeing the whole picture.
Hiss... what kind of monsters are these!
This Xiliang army not only has fat and strong horses, but the cavalry on the horses are fully armed to the teeth, and what they wear... are actually iron armor!
Where did Thief Dong get so many armors?
This was the first and only thought that flashed through everyone's mind.
Armor has always been rare. The value of a pair of mysterious armor is much higher than that of a war horse, and it has a price but no market.
After all, war horses can be born, but due to the smelting technology of this era, the output of iron has never been high, which has led to the army generally using fish scale armor and leather armor.
Why, it’s not because of saving materials.
Furthermore, a pair of iron armor weighs at least dozens of kilograms. If the cavalry wants to wear it for combat, the weight of the mount is also a big problem. If you want to carry a fully armed cavalry charge, you can't do it without a real BMW horse.
In this era when stirrups were not popular, all the cavalry in the world were just light cavalry.
But the cavalry in front of them is a veritable heavy cavalry.
After Dong Zhuo entered Luo last year, Li Ru proposed to form a real ace army, and Dong Zhuo readily agreed.
Then Li Ru carefully selected from the 150,000 Xiliang army, and finally selected 10,000. After emptying the Luoyang arsenal, they managed to scrape together 10,000 pairs of armors, and finally selected 10,000 good horses from hundreds of thousands of Xiliang horses.
After some hard work, this ace cavalry team was finally formed.
The whole process was extremely difficult, and only Dong Zhuo, who controlled Luoyang's wealth, could accomplish it.
But its effect is equally amazing.
Once this ace army is brought out, it will be the uncrowned king of plain combat, and it can be called a tank in the cold weapon era!
Dong Zhuo also gave it a nice name - Flying Bear!
As soon as the 10,000 Flying Bear Army showed up, they immediately stunned the Jujube Alliance Army.
"snort!"
In response, the commander Li Juezhi snorted with disdain and continued to charge.
Because of the heavy load, the Flying Bear Army cannot charge at high speed like the light cavalry, but this speed is enough.
"Quick, stop this army!"
Zhang Miao reacted from the initial shock and shouted hurriedly.
He understood that once this army entered the battlefield, the situation would be irreversible.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chao and Bao Xin immediately led an army of 20,000 each to fight and attacked the Fei Xiong Army.
But after all, they were still a step too late. They had just arrived halfway, and the Flying Bear Army had already reached the battlefield.
But the next moment, something happened that shocked everyone.
It was seen that the Flying Bear Army did not choose to join the battle, but instead directly bypassed the battlefield and went straight to the rear of the coalition forces.
"What does the thief army mean?" Zhang Chao asked with confusion on his face.
Bao Xin sneered, "It's not obvious that this army's target is us!"
He guessed correctly. The Xiliang army had the upper hand on the battlefield, so there was no need for reinforcements. The reason why Dong Zhuo sent his trump card at this time was to block the support of Zhang Miao's army.
"Kill them, I want to see how powerful this enemy army is!"
Zhang Chao, however, did not believe in evil and rushed forward first with a roar.
"Meng Gao, be careful!"
Bao Xin quickly reminded him and rushed over.
Soon, the two armies met head-on.
The scene that happened next was enough to make all the Kwantung Allied Forces unforgettable for life!
The coalition soldier slashed at the Flying Bear Army cavalry with a sword. There was a "clang" sound and a spark flashed, leaving only a whitish mark on the armor.
As for the Flying Bear Army cavalry wrapped in iron armor, they were unscathed.
The coalition soldiers were shocked and hurriedly wanted to attack again, but a spear had already pierced his chest.
When it comes to military training, Li Ru is the master. He knew that the heavily armored Flying Bear Army lacked flexibility, so he simply gave up on this and focused on attacking.
When he was training the Flying Bear Army, he only allowed them to perform two movements: lunge and withdraw their spears!
Apart from this, there is no other way to fight.
But these two simple actions, with the addition of a suit of iron armor, have become the most frightening killing moves on the battlefield.
As long as the enemy cannot break through the iron armor's defense, they will become the dead souls of the Flying Bear Army in the next second.
After practicing thousands of times, the action of thrusting has been deeply ingrained into the muscle memory of all the Flying Bear Army soldiers. They can always find the enemy's vital point at the first time, and then stab it with a spear to complete the harvest.
The same scene was played out across the entire battlefield. After just one round of fighting, Zhang Chao's army lost more than a thousand people.
Most of these soldiers who died in battle only had one wound, but it was enough to be fatal.
"No, this is impossible..."
Zhang Chao looked at the black torrent that had turned into a meat grinder, his eyes full of disbelief.
"How can this army... be so powerful? What kind of monster is this!"
Just as he was still in shock, there was a sudden burst of shouting behind him, and then a spear was thrust towards Zhang Chao's throat.
Faced with this sudden attack, Zhang Chao subconsciously grabbed the spear in his hand and stabbed backward without even thinking about it.
Keng!
A spark flew out, followed by the sound of a weapon entering flesh.
Zhang Chao was finally stronger than ordinary soldiers, and this shot finally pierced the invading enemy's armor.
But...that's all.
Blocked by the armor, Zhang Chao's spearhead only penetrated less than an inch into the enemy's body, and could no longer penetrate.
"How can this be!"
Zhang Chao shouted with his eyes widened.
"How is it impossible!"
When a cold snort sounded, a spear had already pierced Zhang Chao's throat.
The owner of this voice and the spear is none other than the commander of the Flying Bear Army, Li Jue!
Li Jue succeeded in the attack and was immediately overjoyed. He suddenly pulled out his spear and blood immediately spurted out from Zhang Chao's throat.
Zhang Chao hurriedly reached out to cover it, but he couldn't cover it.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
His throat was pierced, and Zhang Chao couldn't even pronounce a complete syllable. His throat was like a broken bellows, making a whirring noise.
No matter how much he breathed, he still couldn't feel the oxygen entering his lungs. The feeling of suffocation gradually eroded his body, making him extremely uncomfortable, and the pupils in his eyes suddenly dilated.
"Let me give you a ride!"
Li Jue sneered, pulled out the sword from his waist, and slashed at Zhang Chao.
A cold light flashed, and Zhang Chao's head left his body.
His eyes were still wide open until Li Jue held his head in his hands.
In the first battle, the Flying Bear Army defeated the enemy on the battlefield and showed its formidable strength.
Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, one of the princes in Guandong, was beheaded by Li Jue in front of the battle formation, and he died with his eyes open!
