In addition, these five school battalions are not subordinate to any of the five armies, and each battalion is commanded by a captain, such as Wang Lian once served as a captain of Tuncai, Liao Li once served as a captain of Changshui, and Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jun is the current captain of Changshui.

This is not unacceptable.

So Liu Yong agreed: "Yes, the cavalry of the second battalion of the Tun Cavalry and the Yue Cavalry are also equipped with stirrups and horseshoes. ”

"In this case, the minister will do it as soon as he retreats. Is there anything else Your Majesty has to explain? ”

What else is there to explain?

After Ma Cheng's question, Liu Yong really remembered one thing, "Qing Fang just mentioned the long weapon used by knights on horses, and I have some thoughts about this. ”

"I want to hear about it!" Ma Cheng glanced at Liu Yong

"Come here," Liu Yong beckoned Ma Cheng to come, and then picked up the pen and inked on the cardboard presented by Li Yang and his son, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the ink was spread on the paper, and a long-pole attack weapon similar to a red tassel gun and an axe jumped on the paper, but unlike the previous two, this weapon had a hammer head at the front end, and the blade also had a few blood grooves.

When the general outline of the weapon on the cardboard was drawn, Ma Cheng had already seen the clue, and shouted in a lost voice: "Your Majesty, this is a lance!" ”

"That's right, it's a lance!" The corners of Liu Yong's mouth raised a smile, but the pen flying in his hand never stopped.

Lance, horse lance, produced in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Sui and Tang dynasties of large-scale cavalry operations, is a sharp weapon for horse combat!

Looking at the increasingly clear horse lance in Liu Yong's pen, Ma Cheng also quickly reacted: "What does Your Majesty mean...... Let our cavalry try to use a horse lance? ”

"That's right!" Liu Yong put down his pen, picked up the cardboard on which the horse lance was drawn and looked at it for a while, feeling good, so he pushed it forward and said: "This picture of the horse lance will be sent to Qing, with stirrups and horseshoes, I believe that Qing will soon feel the power of the horse lance." ”

Ma Cheng exhaled, took the thin cardboard with the horse lance with a constipated expression, and said only after half a salary: "Minister...... Thank you for the painting. ”

************************

Jiangxia County, the south gate of Shiyang City

The heavy rain finally stopped, the heavy clouds dispersed, the gloomy sky gradually cleared, the cool breeze blew through the clothes, and the air was full of moist and fresh smells.

Huang Li, a son of the Jiangxia Huang family, it is said that the ancestor is Huang Xie, a nobleman of the Chu State, so the Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu is his clansman, but the value of these two big men has nothing to do with him, he is just an ordinary soldier in Jiangxia County, Wei State.

Because, according to his thin bloodline, it is enough to become the collateral branch of the Jiangxia Huang clan.

At this moment, Huang Li wore armor and held a halberd, guarding the South Gate Tower.

He greedily inhaled a breath of cool and moist air, and then pulled a cloud of turbid air out of his lungs.

After the rain, the sky was clear, and the sky in the distance was hung with a brilliant rainbow at some point, and the beauty of such weather made him fascinated.

After admiring the colorful and beautiful rainbow, he shifted his gaze to the wide river below, where the rivers and mountains were calm and calm, and there were no waves, a quiet and peaceful scene.

Well?

Wait a minute!

At the end of the river, where the fog was shrouded, although the vision was blurred, Huang Li still tried his best to catch a white dot moving on the river.

"Look at it! What's over there in Jiang Xin! His body tensed suddenly, and his right hand, which was not holding a halberd, immediately pushed the robe next to him.

His robe was reminded by him, and he was also alert, rubbed his eyes, and muttered to himself while looking towards the river in the distance: "Shouldn't it be the ship of the Wu thief?" ”

After looking at it carefully, the soldier couldn't see the signs, and said with uncertainty: "Such a small point, maybe it's a water bird, a fishing boat, or something." ”

At this time, the veteran on the left, a tun commander, was also attracted by Huang Li's conversation, stared at the depths of the river for a moment, and instantly changed his complexion, and a shocked look climbed up his vicissitudes of life, only to see him hiss and roar: "Enemy attack!" Wu Jun is coming! ”

As if to verify his judgment, in the next second, countless white dots appeared on the distant river surface in an instant, densely packed, floating on the surface of the river!

Then, several behemoths broke through the fog and revealed his mountain-like silhouette to the world............ Lou Boat!!

When he saw Wu Jun's boat, the tun chief no longer hesitated, turned his hand and raised the horn hanging on his waist - "Woo~~~~"

The next moment, on the city wall, under the gatehouse, a low and distant horn sound soared into the sky.

Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

…………………………………

On the other side, on the six-zhang tall Lou Boat Bird Room, Sun Quan, who was dressed in white helmet and white armor, stood by the female wall with solemn hands, and the river wind of hunting blew his bright red helmet whirring, but he was expressionless and calm............ At this moment, the King of Wu only has a rock-like ...... standing at the head of the river Shiyang City!

His ship was a three-story ship, surrounded by white sails stretched like wings in the wind, and the bird room where Sun Quan stood was like being in a sea of white flowers and bones.

The floors and sides of the huge building ship are covered with battle grids and banners, and the stern of the ship is set up with throwing cars, stones, and iron buckets, which are like city ramparts.

The building ship is not only equipped with a powerful and fierce weapon system, but also carries a group of soldiers and armor, and at this moment the halberd-wielding samurai standing on the third floor of each building ship............ Their halberds almost want to reflect the cold, bright and heavy sky!

Beneath the ship, the sturdy speedboats covered with cowhide and the backs of the ship, like the servants of the giant ship, clinged to the big ship of Yamen, and they spread their eight oars and rowed hard like guards who swore to defend the giant ship.

There are also as light as arrows, as fast as pegasus, and red horses constantly shuttling back and forth between the building ship and the ship, their ship shape is slender, and it is a good ship to stop the enemy.

The entire huge fleet with the building ship as the core is surrounded by scout ships sprinkled like pearls, which are on the outermost part of the fleet, acting as the eyes and ears of the fleet, transmitting and transferring the information and personnel of each ship.

………………………………

After receiving the urgent report of the enemy attack in the south, Wen Ping immediately led everyone to Shiyang South City, hurriedly climbed the South Gate Tower, and a majestic and majestic fleet appeared in front of him.

Thousands of sails, traces of the road, a mighty, huge atmosphere paved the surface.

"Sun Quan, it's really pouring out."

But Wen Ping was not frightened by this situation!

Since the Battle of Chibi that year, the country has lost the right to control the sea in the basins of the great river, and since then it has been the Wu State Naval Division that has been rampaging in the great river and turning the river into the sea.

But even if the country's limited sailors have been cowering in the water village and port, he is not afraid of the Wu army's sailors, because ...... Sun Quan drove the sailor to Shiyang City...... Actually, it's not useful.

Although Shiyang City was built near the river, it was impossible for the sailors of the Wu army to attack the Dangyang City Wall from the water anyway, and they could not even land here. (Wei Jun is naturally not a melon-eating masses, won't he attack half-crossing?) ）

"General Hou, there are about 20 ships in Guanqilou, and the number of people who Sun Quan led his troops to attack this time is probably no less than 50,000!" The southern governor Huang Liang observed the Wu Junshui Division for a while, and eagerly preached to Wen Ping.

"Our Jiangxia County garrison plus soldiers only has a total of 12,000, the number of people is really huge, general, ask the imperial court or Xiangfan for help!"

Wen Ping pursed his lips and did not agree with Huang Scale's opinion, but said: "The imperial court takes me as the rear general and the golden seal and purple ribbon to guard Jiangxia, so that I can be a nail, enter the north bank of the river, and stop the momentum of Wu thieves entering Xiangfan." ”

As he spoke, Wen Ping "Qiang" sounded, pulled out his sword, stabbed Wu Jun, and said disdainfully: "Taishou has the responsibility of guarding the land, and now Wu thieves are coming, the water is coming to cover the soil, and the soldiers are coming to block it." It is only necessary to report the news of the Wu thief's attack to the imperial court, and the matter of asking for help should not be lightly mentioned. ”

Huang Liang was still very convinced of Wen Ping's judgment, and after hearing Wen Ping's words, he no longer insisted on his own opinion, and said: "No! Finally, he will send the Red Feather Messenger. ”
