As far as the eye can see, the number of this cavalry army is not large. A rough visual inspection shows that there are only a hundred cavalry.
However, everyone's expressions changed.
Something was wrong. Qi Zhen clearly had a tacit understanding with Wang Jianguo or the imperial court. So theoretically, if there were no accidents within a few dozen miles, the other party should be waiting for the arrival of the army in Luoyang City.
Then the arrival of this strange force, whether it is friendly or enemy forces, will pose a big problem.
There is no need for friendly troops, but there are too few enemy troops, not to mention, where do the enemies come from?
Gongsun Zan raised his right hand high on the horse and slowly clenched it into a fist.
The army just slowly stayed in place.
This is an extremely vast plain, with an unobstructed view of everything within a few kilometers. There are only a hundred cavalry in front of them. The army doesn't even bother to put on a defensive posture, just like an ordinary plain. The ground is generally stationed.
The rumble of horse hooves slowly came closer, and the cavalry stopped in front of a few people. They were uniform and uniform, as if they were the same person, and there was no trace of panic.
Everyone cautiously judged that the other party should be an enemy rather than a friend, so they relaxed.
Neither Qi Zhen nor Tang Yi saw any clues, but Ma Teng's expression became more and more nervous.
Ma Teng's name has the word "horse" in it, and his ability seems to be closely related to this name.
He is naturally good at riding and fighting, and is known to everyone in his Xiliang army. He is also the best at making surprise attacks. Whether it is the art of riding a horse or commanding a cavalry army, no one can match him among his contemporaries. This ability was passed on to his most accomplished son, Ma Chao, who later became one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu.
No one knows better than him how much ability it takes to make a hundred cavalry troops as uniform as one.
It is difficult to achieve this level with Lu Bu alone.
Lu Bu was born in Bingzhou. In Ma Teng's view, although Lu Bu was famous in the Xiliang army, it was about his individual qualities. If he was to command the cavalry, then Lu Bu was not even worthy of carrying his own shoes.
The best cavalry in Xiliang are all under his command. There is no doubt that the overall quality of these cavalry in front of him, as well as the cavalry's horse-control skills, are not inferior to the most elite cavalry units in his hands. Even More than anything!
So the one hundred cavalry troops in front of us must not be from Luoyang!
Before Ma Teng could say anything, the young general on the horse clasped his hands and said loudly to everyone: "My lords, my lord sent me to deliver a message. Luoyang Mountain is high and the road is far away. Please go back the way you came."
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.
The mountains are high and the roads are far? Aren’t the days when the mountains were high and the roads far away long gone? Now there are only a few dozen miles of Daping Road left from Luoyang City, and there is not even a small hillside that can be called a mountain. Is your lord just kidding us?
"You doll, are you teasing a certain family? What is the name of your master? Please tell me his name!" Zhang Fei glared and shouted loudly.
This loud shout obviously exhausted Zhang Fei's full strength. The cavalrymen only felt a wave of wind blowing towards them, and the originally uniform formation finally became a little looser.
The horses, which were as uniform as machines just now, finally became a little restless at this time, and made a few unharmonious neighs.
The young general at the head did not panic at all, but his expression changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "This must be General Zhang Fei. I have long heard that General Zhang has a temperament of fire. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."
"I think this must be General Gongsun. The general is very polite." The young general continued.
Gongsun Zan frowned slightly and asked softly: "Who are you? Who is your master, and what do you mean by this...?"
"I am a nobody. Don't worry, sir. You will know my lord's name soon. As for what I mean..." The young general's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and then he said: "My lord. Now that we have occupied Luoyang City, it is true that the space in Luoyang City is limited and we cannot possibly accommodate such a large number of troops, so please go back."
"General, what you said is too far-fetched and I cannot believe it," Liu Bei said.
"This must be General Liu, he is indeed born with a strange appearance and extraordinary appearance." The young general said with his fists clasped.
"Since you know us so well, and you probably knew what our personalities are like before coming here, why do you bother to come here today?" Zhao Yun said.
"Silver helmet and silver armor, General Zhao is extremely handsome. If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with him at first sight." The young general said, "There is also this man with beautiful beard and public relations. I have admired him for a long time."
This young player was neither humble nor arrogant. He counted them one by one and recognized everyone in the field clearly.
Except Ma Teng and Tao Qian.
Then he looked for someone in the crowd with some confusion, but he couldn't find it. He felt a little annoyed, but he hid it well under his face, and no one found any clues.
Qi Zhen is not among this group of people.
"You, young general, are so rude. You just force my army to retreat with these few words. Do you really think that our coalition is just a child's play?" Ma Teng said.
"What's next...?" The young general asked softly, still looking respectful.
"The governor of Xiliang, Ma Teng."
"It turns out to be General Ma. I'm sorry that I couldn't tell because of my poor eyesight." The young general said with a salute.
"General Ma is right. You, a slutty kid, are talking nonsense here and want us to retreat. I'm afraid it's not such a simple thing. We are entering Luoyang with the emperor's secret decree. If you want to stop us, you will always need someone." Reason, not to mention your refusal to identify yourself, how do we know how credible your statement is?" Tao Qian continued.
Tao Qian had never joined the army and was still dressed as a scholar. What he said at this time represented the thoughts of most people. Not only was this incident unbelievable, but it also made everyone feel a little baffled.
Where did a hundred cavalry come from and brazenly told an army of 150,000 to retreat? This was too strange.
"It seems that you are not from the military. I wonder if you are...?" the young general asked.
"The governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian."
The young general let out a sigh of realization, then took off the long weapon he carried behind his back and held it in his hand.
"What is this?" Everyone was confused.
Draw the gun, aim, and inspire.
The young general's movements were completed in one go.
There was a muffled bang, but the hundreds of cavalrymen and the horses under them did not react. It seemed that they had long been accustomed to the noise caused by the firearms. However, the mounts of Gongsun Zan and others on the opposite side were almost frightened.
"I have brought the words of my lord. Sir, please decide for yourself where to go. We will leave now." The young general put the spear on his back, turned around and rode away.
In a few breaths, these one hundred cavalry troops disappeared from everyone's eyes, as if they had never appeared before.
"baffling……"
Before Ma Teng finished speaking, there was another bang and Tao Qian had already fallen off the horse. At this time, there was a delicate little hole on his forehead, and blood was pouring from it.
Everyone was horrified and hurriedly dismounted and tried to rescue him, but where could he be rescued?
Tao Qian died just like that, with his eyes open to death.
When everyone thought back, they discovered that the thing in the young general's hand was the culprit of Tao Qian's death.
"That thing is called a firearm, and it's not something that should exist in this era." Qi Zhen's slightly lonely voice sounded from behind.
He and Tang Yi walked slowly from the back to the front. They looked at Tao Qian lying on the ground with some complicated feelings in their hearts.
What the young general didn't know was that the first moment he saw this group of cavalry, Qi Zhen retreated into the army. The most important reason was that he could see at a glance what the weapons the young general was carrying behind him were. What was it? In an instant, he understood which force these one hundred cavalry troops represented.
After learning this fact, Qi Zhen no longer had any hope of entering Luoyang. He was now focused on how to persuade these people to withdraw and return to their respective homes.
If you want to talk about why, the other party has even produced things like guns. Is it possible that there is any hope for our side?
But Qi Zhen really wants to ask that person who is somewhere, Lin Biao, Lin Biao, at this moment when this game is about to come to a perfect end, what are you thinking about in your head?
"What are firearms?" Zhang Fei asked.
"You can understand it as a mechanical device that uses the burning power of gunpowder to excite iron projectiles. Also, don't ask me what I mean by the word mechanical device. I don't know either."
After Qi Zhen said this, she felt helpless and found that it was really difficult for her to explain to these ancient people things that would only appear a thousand years later.
"Then what's next for us?" Liu Bei asked what everyone wanted to ask.
Qi Zhen finally used her traditional thinking posture again and began to think deeply.
The biggest problem is that he still can't let these people know that he and Lin Biao are teammates, because he still doesn't know what Lin Biao is thinking.
And according to Lin Biao's character, if he wanted to contact Qi Zhen, he would not just send a hundred cavalry here at this moment, but would come in person.
So there are only two problems that Qi Zhen faces now. The first is what Lin Biao wants to do, and the second is why he occupied Luoyang and killed Tao Qian with one shot.
"You have also seen the power of this firearm. With the combat power of our army, if we attack the city under such circumstances, it will end in death." Qi Zhen said slowly, "I suggest ,retreat."
"Are you kidding? We have finally come here and failed? How do we know whether what that young general said is true?" Ma Teng said angrily. Mobile phone users please browse to watch Game of Thrones for a better user experience.
