Military Academy Campus.

In the stands around the school grounds, thousands of spectators were waiting anxiously.

At this time, Tai Lieutenant Li Rong finally rode a war horse and appeared in the huge school yard with his army of 100 cavalry.

The campus was suddenly filled with cheers.

"Your Majesty, Lord Taiwei has led the troops to the field. It looks like this simulated military exercise is about to begin!"

Cai and the great eunuch raised their eyes and looked at each other, and their eyebrows were overjoyed.

Emperor Xiang Yanran nodded slightly, looking at King Ping's army.

Since the last time he returned from the northern expedition against the Xiongnu, he hadn't seen King Ping lead his troops to fight for a long time. The situation in this court has changed greatly, and seeing that the princes are secretly accumulating strength, they are afraid that the war will start again.

He also wanted to know if King Ping's combat effectiveness was the same as before.

Li Rongshan is good at cavalry and shooting, this army composed of the Li family's personal soldiers, of course, is all cavalry.

A hundred light cavalry, riding high-headed horses.

Each of the horses was extremely strong and strong, with smooth and shiny hair, and a gentle "poof" sound, which seemed to be peaceful and orderly under the control of their owners.

Bing is a soldier of the Li family.

The Li family of Pingwangfu is a family of military heroes in Dachu, and the children of the family all make meritorious contributions on the battlefield as the biggest goal of their lives.

These 100 children of the Li family have all read military books since childhood, are familiar with tactics and tactics, practice martial arts since childhood, and are good at riding and archery, swords, and battle formations.

Each of them was cultivated according to the future of Shi Chang, Du Bo, and Incisors, and once there was a war, this small Li family army could immediately expand into an army of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

The most important thing is that these soldiers of the Li family are clansmen, cousins, uncles and nephews, who have grown up together since childhood, and know their roots and know each other very well.

This will give them a great advantage in terms of cooperation.

With a small look, or a gesture, they can comprehend it, and pounce on the enemy like a pack of wolves with tacit understanding.

The whole army is united as one.

Since ancient times, the clan soldiers are the most capable of fighting.

However, there are very few people who can afford to raise clan soldiers, and often only the gate lord clan can afford to raise a pure clan soldier.

War horses are even more well-trained war horses!

They are all hand-fed and trained war horses, and they cooperate with their owners very tacitly.

Although this is only a team of 100 cavalry, this momentum is extremely strong. The ordinary strength of 1,000 people is simply not enough to compete with it.

Looking at their equipment, they were all equipped with the finest war bows, armor-piercing arrows, spears, swords at their waists, helmets, leather armor inlaid with a small number of steel plates, and even their horses were dressed in light vests.

It can be said that the Li family soldiers are equipped with the most elite cavalry equipment in Dachu, which is enough to make any soldier envious.

The Hun light cavalry lacked high-quality iron armor, and this armor-piercing arrow made of 100 steel was enough to shoot through the leather armor of the Hun soldiers.

However, the Great Chu Dynasty had not yet invented the horse shoe.

They were only equipped with a low saddle.

Riding on such a horse, and being skilled in fighting on a horse, naturally requires more than ten years of hard training and extremely superb riding skills.

The cavalry of Da Chu did not have the same personal riding skills as the Hun cavalry who grew up on the grassland.

Of course, fighting a war is not about individual horsemanship, but also about the general's tactical tactics.

As light cavalry, their tactics are high mobility wandering, archery cavalry, harassment, sneak attack, and spear charge.

When the horses charged, the cavalry took off their spears and pierced the enemy, which could directly penetrate the enemy's iron armor, which was extremely lethal. In the face of hundreds of infantry, almost half of them were killed and wounded in a single charge.

Of course, there is also a last resort, dismount and fight.

Emperor Xiang Yanran couldn't help but feel excited and quite satisfied when he saw this hundred refining elite soldiers. "Okay, the elite soldiers of the Li family are still as elite as before, once they go into battle, they will definitely be able to help me sweep the Huns!"

After Li Jiabing went to the school field.

Chu Tianxiu finally entered the school field with an infantry army of 100 people and a battle flag.

Chu Tianxiu, the main general, rode on a wide four-wheeled five-horse chariot.

The carriage of the chariot was made of armor steel plates, which were installed on all sides, and the protection was excellent. The steel plate has some small holes larger than a thumb, and I don't know what to use it for.

In addition, there were more than a dozen similar chariots, four-wheeled, carriages with steel plates, all pulled by five horses. Even the horses were covered with steel horse armor, and only their eyes were exposed.

This army was not cavalry, nor was it ordinary infantry, it should be an infantry chariot army to be exact.

Foot chariots have existed since ancient times.

In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Son of Heaven liked to use chariots when he went out to fight.

It was only later, with the advent of a large number of highly mobile cavalry, that the chariots gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

Chu Tianxiu upgraded and transformed it, greatly enhancing its defensive power.

The infantry chariot army, although slower than the pure cavalry, was much faster than the infantry, and the tired soldiers could even go into the carriages to rest, and also had a certain mobility.

The carriage is wide and convenient, and it can hold more than a dozen people, goods, equipment, dry food, water, explosives, and so on.

Five horses, enough to pull them around.

Even if these combat vehicles are not used for combat, they are used as logistics supply troops, and they have enough defense and security, in fact, they are still good.

And the hundred soldiers were all armored infantry.

Ten men are guarded on either side of a chariot, either outside the vehicle or inside the vehicle.

These soldiers, all with dark faces, were obviously tanned by the daily sun. Both palms are full of calluses, a pair of hands holding a hammer, and the body is quite strong and strong.

They were all miners-turned-soldiers in the mountains.

Of course, their equipment was not shabby at all, all silver glittering steel armor, a hundred refining knives at their waists, and steel shields.

As an important industrial town of the Great Chu Dynasty, Danyang County naturally has no shortage of the best quality steel.

The most striking thing is that each of them is holding a strange thing like a long iron pipe in his hand.

On the tip of the iron pipe, a bayonet was also installed.

It was half a man tall and held up like an iron bayonet.

What is this thing?

This is a new type of equipment that has never been seen in Da Chu.

Assassination?

Wouldn't it be better to use a tassel gun?

In the grandstand of the school field, the emperor and his ministers, generals, teachers and students of the Military Academy were all puzzled.

……

Chu Tianxiu was also a little helpless, it wasn't that he didn't want cavalry.

However, the training and training of cavalry can be carried out for several years or more than ten years, where is there such a good training.

Even if he were given a hundred horses, these soldiers from the mines in the countryside would not be able to ride them.

To increase mobility, he could only use infantry chariots. Although the mobility is slightly weaker, the victory is strong enough in terms of protection.

It is completely impossible for a bow and arrow to shoot through it, and a knife and gun cannot do it, unless you take an axe and smash it hard, more than ten times to penetrate it.

But huh...... There were rows of shooting holes in the carriages, and within a hundred paces, the gun could explode any axeman.

And that's not even counting the explosives packs that were prepared in the car.

Within ten paces of the chariot, it was the death zone.

On the bright red battle flag, two big characters "Danyang" were embroidered.

"Danyang?"

"They're from Danyang County?"

"Is there an army in the county, no...... Xiao Duhou won't be pulling the guards of the county seat over, right?"

"The soldiers in the county town are all used by farmers for conscription.

They don't even count the army, and I'm afraid they can't even beat the big gangsters, so they can only find trouble with the little thieves. Isn't it a joke to pull such a group of soldiers up and actually fight against the Li family soldiers led by Lord Taiwei!"

"I can't watch this military exercise, a group of conscripts from the county town, against the most elite Li family soldiers in Dachu, is completely one-sided!"

The onlookers around the school yard couldn't help but be stunned, disappointed, and shook their heads.

Infantry?

Against cavalry?

The light cavalry of the Huns has made the infantry of Dachu deeply understand the terrible power of cavalry. Da Chu almost used the strength of the whole country to raise seven or eight hundred thousand war horses, and exploded the cavalry with all his might.

Nor does it mean that the infantry will be defeated.

But if the infantry wanted to kill the cavalry and pursue it while they were victorious, it was completely impossible. Therefore, the infantry can only be invincible, but it cannot be victorious.

Of course, disappointment is disappointment.

They didn't expect any chance of victory for the little dusk.

It's nothing more than the difference between a fiasco and an even worse failure.
