After Zhang Hao's impassioned oath, he stepped off the high platform, turned on his horse, and led the army to set off in a mighty manner.

This expedition was all cavalry, among which the Huwei battalion led by Zhang Fei belonged to heavy cavalry, but because of the advantage of cavalry mobility this time, he did not wear heavy armor.

Zhang Fei's Huwei Battalion Zhang Hao was equipped with two kinds of armor, one was to wrap all the people and horses in the armor, leaving only a little gap in the eyes.

When the two armies are hedged, a heavy cavalry with this equipment can disrupt the opponent's army formation with a single charge, and can often win a war.

Although the heavy cavalry is a sharp weapon for charging, the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, the single function, poor reflexes, weak combat endurance, and poor mobility.

This kind of armor, which is completely covered with a full body and a small field of vision, is basically limited to the front, and is obviously not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and can basically do nothing on the battlefield except charge.

And basically, it is to rush over and then turn around and rush back, and you can exit the battlefield with a back and forth charge, because no matter how good the horse is, it can't support another charge.

A heavy cavalry horse not only has to bear the weight of a soldier, but also a set of war horse armor and a set of thick soldier heavy armor, as well as a large gun specially used for assault, adding up to more than 300 catties.

This also caused them to lose mobility and endurance, so Zhang Hao also equipped them with another set of barrel sleeve armor, which is a cylindrical armor body worn with small pieces of fish scale iron armor, connected front and back, and shoulder guards are also equipped with shoulder pads.

In addition to the needs of the battlefield situation, the heavy cavalry still wears this kind of sleeve armor most of the time, which can be regarded as a semi-heavy cavalry, which does not affect mobility and has the protection of armor.

Zhao Yun's Dragon Martial Battalion was a pure light cavalry, and for fear of affecting speed and flexibility, all the soldiers of the Dragon Martial Battalion only wore two armors.

The Liangdang armor is like a vest, only the front and back pieces of armor are hung on the shoulders, which can only protect the chest and back, so that the soldier's limbs are more flexible in battle.

Although the soldiers of the Dragon Martial Battalion are simply armoured, they are each equipped with three spears, and once the spear in their hand gets stuck in the enemy's body during the battle, they can give up and replace it with another spear at any time.

In addition to the three spears, each soldier was equipped with a bow and arrow, which was shorter than a normal bow and had a short range but low effort to quickly fire the next arrow, firing only two rounds during the charge and then replacing the spear with a long spear.

As for Tai Shici's Flying Feather Battalion, they were archers, mainly based on bows and arrows, wearing leather armor, and exerting their speed to the extreme, with a large bow and thirty arrows each.

In addition, under the influence of Tai Shi Ci, they all gave up the original scimitar and replaced it with a double halberd like Tai Shi Ci, but they didn't have many opportunities to fight in close combat.

The most important thing for the archers is that they can pull the battlefield, you can't hit me, but I can hit you, if you come to chase me, I will run, if you turn around and go back, I will come back to fight, and you can bring the essence of guerrilla warfare to the extreme.

Zhang Hao took the lead, followed by Tong Fei and a few soldiers carrying the banner, the banner is red on a black background, with the golden word Du Liao on it, swaying in the wind is majestic.

The Huwei battalion led by Zhang Fei is in the middle, the left is Zhao Yun's Longwu battalion, and the right is Tai Shici's Feiyu battalion.

The mighty army went out of Xiangping and went all the way to the east along the Daliang River, and the army raised the yellow sand, and after a day's march, at night, the army had entered the territory of Goguryeo.

At this time, the soldiers raised piles of fires in the field, and the fires were arranged in an orderly manner, and each fire was surrounded by a circle of soldiers, most of whom had already slept, and they would spend the first night of their expedition here.

Zhang Hao first inspected the periphery of the bright posts and secret posts, and then slowly shuttled among the soldiers, looking at these immature faces, Zhang Hao sighed.

"Lord, why haven't you rested yet?" When Zhang Hao walked back to the fire where he was resting, Zhang Fei got up and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's make a round." Zhang Hao also whispered.

"Isn't the lord nervous and can't sleep." Zhang Fei said with a smile.

"you, I think you're too nervous to sleep." Zhang Hao glanced at Zhang Fei and said.

"Yide, you just admit that you are nervous, you keep turning back and forth here so much that I don't even fall asleep." Zhao Yun also raised his head and said with a smile.

"Didn't you sleep too?" Zhang Fei said angrily.

"Be quiet, don't wake up the others." Tai Shi Ci sat up and said.

"You didn't sleep either." Zhang Hao looked at Tai Shici and Zhao Yun who were sitting up and asked.

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous." Zhao Yun sighed and said.

"We weren't as nervous as we are when we went looking for new crops." Zhang Fei also nodded and said.

"We've been on the battlefield more than once or twice, and I don't know why we have a special feeling this time." Tai Shi Ci echoed.

"This time is different from the past, when we went to the Barbarian Land to look for new crops before, there were only a few of us, and we didn't have to be responsible for others, and the battles after that were basically strong against weak, naturally nothing."

"But this time we are inserting into the enemy's hinterland, fighting alone, and the slightest carelessness will pay a heavy price, and there will be no reinforcements to help us." Zhang Hao looked up at the starry sky and said.

"These soldiers came out with us, and I really wanted to bring them all back alive." Zhang Fei looked at the soldiers around him and said.

These soldiers are all so young, Zhang Hao's criteria for selecting soldiers are very strict, especially these cavalrymen, they all choose excellent men under the age of twenty-five, and many of them are even under twenty.

Not to mention the soldiers, these generals Tai Shici and Zhang Fei are nineteen years old, Zhao Yun is only eighteen years old, and even Zhang Hao is only twenty-one years old.

But born in this troubled era, it is inevitable to experience the baptism of war, I don't know how many people can follow me back this time, and how many people will have to be buried in other places.

"There are more and more people behind us who need our protection, and the burden on us will become heavier and heavier, and only when we fight a peaceful and prosperous world can we let the people we want to protect live a better life."

"Since war is inevitable, let us face it calmly, as long as we fight a peaceful and prosperous era, our descendants will not have to go through these again, believe me, today's blood will not be shed in vain."

Zhang Hao eased his mood and whispered to Zhang Fei and the others, but his tone was full of firmness, and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici also nodded heavily.
