The reason why Liu Feng dared to form an alliance with Liu Jingwu was out of confidence in his own strength, and such an alliance was more beneficial to Liu Jingwu.

In terms of military strength, Fan Yang Mansion can completely occupy his Pinglu Mansion, not to mention that he is still a prisoner of the ranks, even if no one treats him as a prisoner, just after forming an alliance, Fan Yang Mansion's armament can be sold to the Pinglu Army, which makes Liu Jingwu unable to close his mouth.

And in order to make such a verbal covenant more effective, Liu Feng decided to take Liu Jingwu to observe his Leopard Tao Battalion, which is Liu Feng's strategic combat readiness force, which can be said to be the current heavy fist force of Fanyang Mansion.

In order to complete Deng Junliang's "taking the military with force", Liu Feng originally planned to have a vigorous military parade, but it is estimated that the impact will be too great, and he is afraid that he will change.

So I had to take Liu Jingwu to observe his strategic combat readiness team.

The Leopard Tao Battalion has been training for half a year, and the left and right captains are still the Bai brothers, but the rank of the two of them is much higher than that of the other captains, and the same as the other five captains.

The Leopard Tao battalion has jurisdiction over four capitals, two heavy cavalry capitals, a special warfare capital, and an artillery capital in secret training, and the heavy cavalry is the top force for the military town of this era.

Although the heavy cavalry armor has not yet been able to put into battle, it has also been trained to be familiar with the command orders such as the banner and golden drum in the army, to advance and retreat, change the formation, and be proficient in drills, so it can also be pulled out at this time for Liu Jingwu to observe.

In the era of cold weapons, there were four basic arms on the field battlefield, heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, light infantry (crossbowmen) and light cavalry, etc., and Liu Feng only added auxiliary technical services such as medical soldiers and heavy engineers in the army.

On an ideal battlefield on flat terrain, heavy infantry in tight formations, especially pikemen, can break up a frontal attack by heavy cavalry, but lack sufficient defense against a rain of arrows from crossbowmen and cavalry archers.

Heavy cavalry can easily break through the light infantry's net of arrows and deal a devastating blow to them, but they are usually passive against more mobile archers. In a firing confrontation, the archers were significantly superior to the archers in terms of speed and accuracy of fire, and the heavy cavalry had an overwhelming advantage over the flanks and rear of the heavy infantry formation.

Therefore, the cooperation of light and heavy cavalry will be the big killer weapon of this era, or it can be said to be the ultimate force, before the emergence of heavy machine guns, cavalry is still an important factor on the battlefield that can determine victory or defeat.

Therefore, in addition to the development of muskets, Liu Feng attaches great importance to the training of cavalry, and the mountain special operations capital in the Leopard Tao camp is an infantry combat capital composed of pure first-class elite sergeants.

The heavy cavalry trained by Liu Feng is very different from the most famous Khitan palace tent cavalry at the moment, Liu Feng is well aware of the shortcomings of the heavy cavalry, and also knows the bottleneck of the development of the heavy cavalry.

An invincible heavy cavalry lies in several key elements, horses and armor knights, and the heavy horses of the leopard Tao battalion were purchased by Liu Feng in the grassland Mobei and other places, and it took almost a year to raise enough 600 cavalry to ensure that the heavy cavalry had sufficient mobility and attack ability, and the heavy armor was equipped with double war horses.

Whether it is the knight's plate armor, or the "curtain" that protects the horse's head, the "chicken neck" that protects the horse's neck, the "dang chest" that protects the horse's chest, the "horse body armor" that protects the horse's body, the "after" that protects the horse's hips and the "parasitic" erected on the horse's hips are all refined steel, which is made of double quenching and cold forging of thousands of catties of water hammer, which is the highest industrial achievement in Fanyang Mansion at present.

In terms of weaponry, Liu Feng equipped the heavy cavalry with a six-meter-long three-edged heavy cavalry spear, made of stainless steel, and their riding knives were different from the wind wolf cavalry, which was more generous.

This is a heavy cavalry piled up with money and grain, and the money and grain spent to form these two three hundred heavy cavalry are enough to form a light cavalry guard, but the heavy cavalry that Liu Feng spent a lot of money to build is aimed at building a Xuanjia army similar to the early Tang Dynasty.

Without the bulkiness of the heavy cavalry, but with the attack power of the heavy cavalry, it can complete tactical actions such as flank assault, frontal assault, and roundabout assault, and is no longer a live target on the battlefield.

The observation of the heavy cavalry capital was carried out in the wilderness dozens of miles north of Yucheng, and when the three hundred heavy cavalry wore battle armor and went out of the military camp, it also caused a sensation in Yucheng.

The tall horses, the jet-black armor, and the knight's calm and indifferent eyes all announced the extraordinaryness of this armored horse, whether it was the onlookers or the priests and sergeants, they all felt the strength of this cavalry.

Liu Feng believed that in a short time, the news that he had a powerful heavy armored cavalry, or even more mysterious, would spread to all directions, and even to the ears of those who were still coveting Fanyang Mansion.

And those who pay close attention to this heavy cavalry are not only spies from all over the world, but also merchants from all over the world, and when they observe this heavy cavalry, they will definitely have new judgments and make wiser choices.

Liu Feng originally intended to show Liu Jingwu his military strength, but he inadvertently shocked the villagers, but this also gave the villagers living in Yucheng an important security guarantee.

In the wilderness, the two heavily armored cavalry conducted combat drills, and the charging momentum of the landslide and the cracking, the kind of heroism that came and went, made the surprised mouths of Liancheng and the others who came together unable to close.

At this moment, Liu Jingwu also understood what Liu Feng meant, and couldn't help but smile, even if Liu Feng didn't show him the heavy armored cavalry, he didn't dare to have the slightest intention of betraying the alliance, at least for a few years, he would never have the intention of betraying the alliance.

O army! Liu Jingwu lamented in his heart, Liu Feng took charge of the three counties with his young age, all by virtue of the brave sergeants in his hands, and when this crisis passed, he must work hard to govern Qingzhou, recruit talents, and re-establish a strong army, only in this way can he raise his eyebrows.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Cao Deye, if it weren't for the Cao family's various constraints, how could he not train an elite soldier in Qingzhou. And the existence of many families in Qingzhou has made some moves to train the army, which is also the reason why his Pinglu army has retreated more and more.

……

A few days later, Liu Jingwu Liancheng and the two horsemen returned to Qizhou City.

The 5,000 Ping Lu army also supported the departure of Qizhou City and went to Zizhou, they didn't know why Fanyang Mansion released people, but in Qizhou City, they were not less cared for by the Fanyang Mansion medical battalion, even if the two armies fought again, these surrendered troops would not have enough fighting spirit.

After observing the heavy cavalry on that day, Lian Chenghe's face has been very gloomy, and he was defeated by Deng Jieyu, the important thing is that his powerlessness in the face of Fan Yangjun made this high-spirited general in the past a lot older.

"Captain Lian, can you go to the canal with me?" Liu Jingwu had already recovered from all kinds of shocks.

"What are you going to do in that place of humiliation?" Lian Chenghe replied reluctantly, but he also followed Liu Jingwu's footsteps.
