Chapter 441: Xuanjia Ride
Streams of cavalry poured out of the city gate hole, except for Zhang Huchen and others who appeared, ordinary soldiers covered their faces with iron masks.
Many knights' iron masks were black cast iron, and only two eyes were exposed, which was enough to be terrifying.
There are also some knights who have ghost patterns painted on their masks, which makes it even more terrifying.
A heavy, condensed pressure stretched out near the city gate, all the way inward, so that the original jubilant atmosphere had some strangeness, although people's admiration and love for the Zhongshan Mansion and the Zhongshan King Xu Zixian remained unchanged, but the original casual atmosphere gradually became a little solemn.
In this situation, people gradually remembered that this prince who had just entered the city was not a clown-like figure, but a legendary figure who had defeated the enemy many times with weak blows, and even defeated 30,000 pirates with 6,000.
Before this, everyone ignored Xu Zixian's strength and status at this time, and when these cavalry poured in, everyone was shocked to realize that the rumored strength of King Zhongshan was true, enough to suppress the whole road of Fujian.
This is also the effect that Xu Zixian wanted, otherwise there would be no need to make such a big fanfare.
The cavalry costumes and armor were all gathered with the power of the Eastern Domain, this time with Yan Qi and Liu Dan, and the captured iron armor was also more than a thousand collars, but the iron helmets, arm guards, and shin guards were insufficient, and the whole army, including the water division, had gathered five hundred collars.
The war horse is also dressed in deerskin and painted with paint, but it is not actually a heavy armor horse, but it looks more powerful, and it is not comparable to ordinary war horses.
In fact, these horses are not heavenly horses, if the soldiers come on heavenly horses, the war horses are much taller than adult men, it will be too terrifying.
Because the armor is pieced together, so Fang Shaoqun came up with an idea, all the cavalry use black paint to paint the armor black, so that it looks much neater, the previous cavalry has the atmosphere of an elite division, after all, the training is strict to the point of perversion, much stricter than the infantry of the government army, plus after many actual battles, each soldier has been tempered, when hundreds of horsemen gather together, even the Zhongshan army is also discolored.
In the battle on the beach, the cavalry cut into the enemy line and was invincible, as evidenced by this.
Painted in black armor, hundreds of horsemen were black, horses were covered in deerskins, and everywhere the camp went, it was enough to take people's breath away.
Xu Zi came to think that when King Qin broke the formation, thanks to the Xuanjia fine horse, later generations thought it was a light horse, or an armored iron horse from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it was not.
Li Shimin's Xuanjia fine cavalry, is between the light cavalry and heavy cavalry between the iron cavalry, trained by the Han people's department, and is known for the light and fast riding skills of the Hu cavalry, plus bows and arrows, knives, armor are refined, so although the number of people is not much, only the number of thousands of horses, it is invincible on the battlefield, all invincible.
In the battle against Dou Jiande, Li Shimin led the elite under his command, fought for many days, and fought endlessly, and the characteristic of Li Shimin's leading army was that he would never stop after establishing his superiority, attacking wave after wave, never sleeping, and fighting until he won a decisive victory.
This is also the inheritance of the Li family from the six towns of Longyou, the training to Gaoping, the martial arts family between the hundred years, and the Li Yuan, Li Shimin father and son, the force and even the highest peak.
However, even if Li Shimin's Xuanjia elite cavalry is slightly stronger than the war horse at most, and the weapon is also slightly stronger, and the armor of the Zhongshan Wangfu cavalry is not inferior, and the training method of the department is far more than the Xuanjia cavalry of the year.
After Xu Zi thought about it first, he didn't mind, Fang Shaoqun hoped that he could become the king of Qin who leveled the world, what was wrong? He also has this expectation, but he hopes that the Xuanjia cavalry of the Zhongshan Palace, in the future, will not be only 500 horses, not only 5,000 horses, but 50,000 horses, 100,000 horses.
Then with a million foot soldiers and 200,000 sailors, he went north to cut down Hu, solve the upside down of the world, and save the luck of China.
……
When Li Gu arrived at the east gate, he heard a commotion from a distance.
In the streets and alleys, there are people carrying lanterns and laughing and rushing to the area of Yijinfang.
Everyone is in a happy mood, and it is very cool when it gets dark in autumn, and it is no longer the state of sweating profusely. The weather is cool, and there are great joys in the city, as long as there is nothing to do at home, people who can move around are afraid that they will all come out of the streets and alleys.
In the whole of Fuzhou, the population is afraid that there are as many as 500,000 or 600,000 people, of course, it is impossible for everyone to go to the area of Yijinfang, and there are also some people who look at the excitement along the streets, chat with neighbors and friends, and then come back.
When Li Gu walked forward, someone from time to time held a lantern to block the horse's head, and it was inconvenient for him to get angry with his identity, so he could only hurry forward.
The lights at the city gate were still bright, and from time to time there was a burst of cheering and shouting, Li Gu knew that it must be Xu Zijin who had entered the city, and he had not seen this clan boy for a long time.
Li Gu is also full of ambition at this time, no matter what, his plan is already being promoted, if everything goes well, in a few months, Xu Zixian will still be blocked outside Fujian Road, today's wedding, although the momentum is amazing, is likely to turn into a joke in the future.
If you don't want to be ambitious, you can't be ambitious, and if you don't want to do it, don't think you can change your life against the sky!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The cheers of the tide came to an abrupt end, replaced by a burst of silence.
Such a situation was very strange, even Li Gu was awakened, and he couldn't help but pull the reins of the horse, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It's a horse team from the Eastern Domain." The long ensuage sent by Li Gu to inquire quickly turned back, and the expression on his face was also cloudy. As Li Gu's personal companion, of course, he knows what this big thing is planning.
Li Gu nodded, and said in his heart: "It's just to enter the city with troops to deter the military and civilians of Fuzhou." ”
He didn't think so, the horse team of the Eastern Domain was indeed rare in the south, but it was only a few hundred horses, and it could compete with the forbidden army of a few thousand? Besides, King Zhao still has tens of thousands of people in his hands, and a few hundred horsemen are really nothing.
Li Gu showed a sneer on his face, Xu Zixian led the troops into the city is indeed a wonderful move, if it is in normal times, without permission to bring troops into the Fuzhou Fucheng, Zhao Wang can command the forbidden army and the generals of the Xiang army to refuse, after all, the palace is important, and the prince outside the city without permission is enough to be impeached.
At this time, he led troops into the city and determined this power, and after that, King Zhao was not good at speaking on this matter.
At the time of the wedding, the prince led the troops to escort him, and at the same time strengthened his momentum, and King Zhao would not risk the disgust of the military and civilians in the whole city to stop it.
Li Gu continued to ride forward, his heart full of disdain.
All around are silent companions, as well as ordinary people who come and go.
After passing through a few alleys, there was a sudden light in front of me.
A large number of officers and soldiers of the robbery battalion with torches, countless crowded people carrying lanterns, and merchants along the street have picked up lanterns hanging outside, reflecting the road leading to Yijinfang like a white ground.
The Xuanjia cavalry of the brigade was passing in a silent atmosphere.
In front of Li Gu's eyes, it was such a strange situation, the noise not far away stopped with the progress of the cavalry, and only after the cavalry passed, it boiled again, but the focus of many people's discussion was no longer the entanglement between Xu Zixian and Chen Wenjun, nor did they discuss how much the dowry and dowry were raised and how many picks, but talked about this terrible and terrifying cavalry.
The cavalry wore masks and black iron armor, and if they didn't know that it was the Zhongshan army, the whole city would have panicked, and the people would have fled in all directions.
After all, such a look appeared at night again, and it was fake to say that it was not scary.
Even the brave people, or the children who are not afraid of the sky and the earth, when these cavalry pass by, they are also silent and dare not raise their voices.
Four horsemen in a team, iron-faced Xuanjia, carrying a divine arm bow or longbow, hanging a horizontal knife at the waist, and a snow-bright long sword hanging obliquely on the side of the horse's belly. On the other side is a bow and arrow pocket.
There are also many cavalry on the left and right sides of the horse's belly are hung with pockets, and on the other side of the horse's belly there is a gun bag for placing a short throwing spear, and then with a horizontal knife, a long sword, and even a short axe, a throwing knife, and then with a divine arm bow or longbow, each cavalry is armed to the teeth, every four horsemen pass by, when the fire shakes, the hideous iron mask is matched with a uniform war horse, and then with these killing tools, a deep cold air is from the soles of people's feet to the upward, straight to the heavenly spirit.
Li Gu also understood at this time, why people's laughter seemed to be cut off by a big hand. When the iron horsemen of the four people in front of him passed by, even he couldn't help but shudder...... Although there are only a few hundred horsemen, the pace is too uniform, the armor, masks, and weapons give people a sense of oppression that makes people can't help but be afraid, as if it is not hundreds of cavalry, but thousands of horses roaring, will trample any force in front of it, and stomp into minced flesh.
"They walked too neatly, sir, these cavalrymen, they walked too neatly."
When Li Gu was shocked, the little guy accompanying him was also so shocked that he exclaimed.
Li Gu stared at it carefully, and sure enough, he saw the cavalry walking side by side with four horses, and the neat steps were terrifying! The four horsemen walked side by side, walking slowly, not only the queue was neat like a knife, but the knight's bumpy posture on horseback, and even the sound of the horse's hooves, were all neat and uniform, and it felt like a solidified whole.
Li Gu was terrified, no wonder the impact of these hundreds of cavalry was so strong!
The training of the cavalry in the queue was not surprising, and the Han cavalry had to be longer than the array. The nomadic cavalry is good at cavalry archery, light cavalry is fierce, easy to advance and retreat, famous for its speed and light spirit and mounted archery, the most outstanding representative is not the Xiongnu or Turkic, but the Mongol captives, they can be regarded as the light cavalry harassment tactics to the extreme.
But no matter which army's cavalry training, it can reach the level of Li Gu's eyes.
Uniform, like a whole, under all the iron masks, you can only see the same sharp and calm eyes.
The cavalry is as sharp as a polished long man, but it is like holding it in the hands of the most stable big hand, these hands are of course the will of the King of Zhongshan, and this cavalry is completely in the palm of the hand of Xu Zixian, the king of Zhongshan.
Li Gu slammed the whip, raising the skin of the little guy around him, and after a painful cry, he didn't dare to speak again.
I don't know what will happen if the things in front of me are spread out.
"It's good that the waste has been sent out." The situation in front of him dispelled the illusions of Li Gu's remnants, and compared with the Zhongshan Mansion Army, the manpower provided by Xu Ziwen was a standard waste. Li Gu's only thought now is that these wastes and Li Kaiming can hurry up and launch them, and Xu Zixian will be caught off guard.
Li Gu is also not lacking in luck, Xu Zi's first thing is really quite decisive, he has been delayed on the Eastern Domain Island for less than a month, and has entered Fuzhou in a high-profile manner, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that King Zhao's forces will retreat step by step, even if there is a matter of establishing a state, King Zhao has little chance.
Now it's man-made, and there is still the last glimmer of life.
……
It is not the first time that Chen Man has been scolded by the Hunjia by pointing his nose, and his face is colorless when he is scolded in front of the guests, and he has long been experienced.
Under the anger of his wife, she has no image, she is completely a shrew, Chen Man is very experienced, she knows that this grandeur has passed, and if she makes fun of a few new styles of jewelry, this tigress will no longer be powerful.
It's just that the face is ugly, and he pretends to be angry at the moment and walks to the window to look down.
The outside world has changed from noise to silence, and it is indeed a little weird.
At this glance, the whole person was like petrification, standing in front of the window for a long time.
Many guests were surprised and walked to the window to look down.
About five hundred cavalrymen, four of them rode in a group, and under the light of the street lights, they were calmly moving towards this side.
The horseshoe wrapped iron trampled on the bluestone road in the city, stepping on the fire from time to time, with the Xuanjia cavalry, the sharp and snowy long tower, a majestic and murderous atmosphere, rushing to the face!
"The Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry of the Zhongshan Palace, Eastern Domain!"
"Xuanjia Ride!"
"The Dark-Armored Cavalry of the Pirates."
In the midst of the discussion, the name of the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry of the Zhongshan Palace, and it officially fell on the head of the Eastern Domain's Iron Cavalry Battalion.
All the cavalry covered their faces with iron masks, but one can imagine the pride and confidence on their faces. As a man and a soldier, the situation in front of him is the most glorious moment of his dream.
Chen Man watched more than 500 horsemen galloping through the crowd, and then bypassed the street corner, entered the Zongmu Street, and then went straight to the upgraded Zhongshan Palace, where many officers and soldiers of the government army had taken over the duties of the officers and soldiers of the robbery capture battalion, standing on the street to clear the road and make way for these Xuanjia heavy horses.
Chen Man actually thought at this time: Nan'anhou Mansion is only a hundred rooms, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people.
But the cavalry swarmed and filled all sides of the original Nan'an Hou Mansion.
After arriving at the place, the cavalry dismounted one after another, and many soldiers stood solemnly under the order.
After a long time, several more orders were heard, and the knights began to unsaddle their horses, put them in their place, tend to their horses, and lay their weapons, and when this series of things was done, it was only a quarter of an hour or so.
"Sit down and rest in place!" Several military attachés on horseback galloped across the streets of the clan and shouted without scruples: "Your Highness has not prepared our residence, just rest in the streets, and do not make noise, disturb the people, or violate military discipline." ”
One by one, the knights saluted, and after a few laps, hundreds of knights sat cross-legged in place or with their backs against the wall, but their bodies were still tall, as if on horseback, towering like a mountain.
Chen Man was sweating profusely, whether it was King Zhao, or Lin Douyao, or which army of the forbidden army was in command, no general could control the army to such a point.
Xu Gongda has also been lying by the window to watch, their restaurant is located at the corner of two main streets, and he can see most of what is happening at the moment.
The majesty of the cavalry of the Zhongshan Mansion Army, with armor, has a strong enough impact on people, and what is even more unacceptable is that such an order is forbidden, and there is no discount in the slightest for the implementation and fear of military orders, and it is not even possible to see the element of drama at all.
It can be seen from this that the Zhongshan Mansion Army is already completely different from the existence of the Great Wei Army, more efficient, strict military law, and solemn military orders, this is a perfect transformation, which makes people stunned, and they can't believe the facts in front of them.
"I can't imagine it......" Xu Gongda looked at it for a long time, until he was sure that those cavalry were resting on the road along the street to the corner of the street, and many cavalrymen took out water bladders and dry food, and just ate like this, and they also ate very deliciously.
It is conceivable that they will sit cross-legged until dawn, and then stand guards, and after tomorrow, it is estimated that Xu Zi, the king of Zhongshan, will go out of the city directly after worshipping his ancestors, and he should go to live in the other courtyard of Nan'an Town.
Xu Gongda sighed, he had completely given up the idea of competing with Xu Zixian, and instead watched the military appearance of those Zhongshan Mansion cavalry with great interest.
After a while, Xu Gongda smiled, turned his head to the crowd with uncertain expressions and said: "Anyway, King Zhongshan is indeed a master of military training, it is a good thing that we have such a strong army on Fujian Road, at least we don't have to worry about pirates entering Fuzhou, which will ruin the good situation of our peace and happiness." ”
This is a bit interesting, and many old and stable clan nobles nodded one after another.
Xu Gongda said with a relaxed expression: "Big people have to be elegant, Mingda and I are just a small dispute when we were teenagers, I will go to Zhongshan Wangfu after a while, and ask him to be guilty in person, I think he won't hate me too much, huh?" ”
Chen Jingzhong and Chen Jingfu looked ugly, they were involved in cooperating with Zhao Wangfu to poison King Qi, they also understood that Xu Zixian's implementation of the law was quite strict, and the style of never forgiving when searching for pirates in the Eastern Domain, as well as Xu Zixian's insistence on the law and the attitude of never forgiving, Xu Gongda may really be fine, and his two brothers don't want to be forgiven.
At least, Chen Jingfu, who is directly involved, will definitely be severely punished by Xu Zixian, and there is absolutely no second possibility.
"What's it, it's just a few hundred people......" Chen Man's wife looked out the window and said with a resentful face: "The Zhuang Ding on my family can pull it out, and it can also raise hundreds of people......
"Shut up!"
Chen Man suddenly turned around and slapped his chattering wife in the face.
