Chapter Seventy-Five: The Divine Warrior Army
On the wide road, Xia Huan led his two thousand Changxiu troops to Dongjun unhurriedly.
Along the way, curious people are everywhere.
However, some people who are a little more well-informed, or a little smarter, look at Xia Huan and the others at this time, and there is more or less a trace of fear in their eyes.
The war is about to begin, it is obvious.
In the past two days, Xia Huan has also received news from the front line, knowing that four of the eight armies under the general Ji Shu have begun to march towards the edge of Xue County of Qi State.
Counting the tens of thousands of horses of the Huainan King of Pengcheng, the number of people gathered on the edge of the Qi State this time has reached nearly 80,000.
However, Xia Huan knew that so many people were probably just used to guard against Qi and Zhao from the north.
If you really want to defeat the Qi State, this number of people is still a bit insufficient.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The sound like thunder sounded in Xia Huan's ears, causing Xia Huan's face to change.
The ground seemed to tremble, and pebbles were beating violently.
In such a scene, it is either an earthquake or a large number of cavalry passing by.
The state of Chu is located in the south, and there are not many places where horses can be raised.
And generally speaking, even the war horses are mostly short-legged horses, which is not a little worse than the horses cultivated by Zhao Yan and the Han Kingdom in the north.
However, fortunately, under the perseverance of Taizu in the cultivation of those years, although there are not many places in Chu that can raise horses, the horse breed and training technology are now the first among all countries.
However, even with excellent technology and horse breeds, the cost of breeding horses in the Central Plains is extremely high.
In the entire Chu State, an army is only three or four thousand horses at most.
However, the current scene is definitely not something that can be produced by three or four thousand horses galloping.
In the state of Chu, there is only one army that can produce such an effect.
Attracted by the loud noise, everyone's pace slowed down unconsciously.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The sound became more and more deafening, and in the distance, even the rolling dust could be seen from the south.
A big purple and gold character appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the dazzling word "Shenwu" made people's blood surge.
"Shenwu Army! I actually saw the Shenwu Army! ”
"I thought the previous team was already a strong team, but compared to the Shenwu Army, it was a cloud and mud difference."
"From this, the Shenwu Army, Da Chu will win!"
On the road, pedestrians talk as they get out of the way.
The 50,000-strong Shenwu army is well-trained, and the equipment is unique in the world.
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Xia Huan had completely stopped, rode on his horse, and looked at this terrifying Shenwu army from a distance.
"Is this the Shenwu Army......
Behind Xia Huan, between the eyes of Yu Meng, who was also riding on a horse, exuded an unknown color.
I have to say that the scene of 50,000 fast horses carefully selected by the servants galloping together is also very shocking to Xia Huan, who has seen the explosion of information in later generations.
Not to mention, ordinary people who only live on their own one-third of an acre of land now.
The shock is probably similar to that of a nuclear explosion for later generations.
After all, for the Chu State, the Shenwu Army is equivalent to the existence of nuclear weapons.
"Zhaoming, didn't you just come out of the Shenwu Army?" Wang Yan, who was a little late aware, suddenly brightened his eyes, looked at Chen Zhaoming and said.
"Hmm." Chen Zhaoming nodded in response.
It's just that even Chen Zhaoming, who used to be a centurion, is the first time to listen to the scene of 50,000 fast horses galloping together from an outsider's perspective.
The so-called I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.
Originally, as a member of the Shenwu Army, I didn't think anything of it. However, from an outsider's point of view, it is not a good taste.
If you fantasize about being an enemy......
Everyone's reaction, Xia Huan saw it all, and unconsciously gave birth to a trace of the idea of building Changxiu Army into the second Shenwu Army.
Cavalry, for more than a thousand years, will always be the most advanced weapon.
Even a few decades ago, the overlord Xiang Yu had 30,000 cavalry, and within one day, he defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 coalition army.
Of course, there are many reasons for this, in addition to Liu Bang's coalition army being a rabble, Xiang Yu's personal strength and reputation are also the key to victory.
However, this still does not obscure the role of cavalry in large-scale battles.
In other words, 560,000 pigs are not something that 30,000 can easily defeat.
Without the indomitable charging momentum of the cavalry and the unstoppable power, the 560,000 allied forces would not have been able to be defeated in one blow.
The closer you get to the Shenwu Army, the more you can appreciate the momentum of the cavalry.
Two thousand Changxiu troops, no matter how well they trained, would never be able to survive three rounds in the hands of two thousand divine martial troops.
"Be sure to match the horses! It has to be a good horse! This time, Xia Huan secretly made up his mind.
"Boom, boom!"
The dense sound of horses' hooves crossed Chang Xiujun's ears.
More than 50,000 people, but it only took two teas to pass by Chang Xiujun.
More than 2,000 Changxiu troops, many of whom stared at each other with their eyes open, opened their mouths, and ate the dust of two cups of tea.
When the Shenwu Army went away, there were also voices of discussion among the well-trained Changxiu Army for more than a month.
"The Shenwu Army is really mighty!"
"Everybody has a sword made of fine iron, and iron armor, which can only be possessed by centurions!"
"What is this, I just saw a little crossbow hanging on every horse......
Everyone was talking, envying the equipment of the Shenwu Army, however, Wang Yan was a little angry.
"Your Highness, as the prince and the overseer general of the Shenwu Army, you can't even stop for a while, and you don't have the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, it's really too much!"
Regarding Wang Yan's complaints, Xia Huan smiled noncommittally and said, "This minister is not another minister. ”
"Uh......" Although Wang Yan is also a clever person, after all, he doesn't have a wide vision and doesn't quite understand the meaning of Xia Huan's words.
"Your Highness, what does this mean?" Wang Yan then asked.
"The Shenwu Army is not an ordinary army, it is not only the pillar of the country, but also the army of the father. Do you understand? Xia Huan looked at Wang Yan and said with a smile.
Wang Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was a little embarrassed and couldn't open his mouth.
Looking at Wang Yan's appearance, Yu Meng, who had the best relationship with him, also knew that he didn't understand, so he explained in a low voice: "Your Highness has said that the Shenwu Army is His Majesty's pro-army, what do you mean by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister?" ”
Now, Wang Yan understands.
Just like Chang Xiujun, as a pro-army, he is only loyal to Xia Huan. Even in the face of the three princes, or the crown prince, they just ignored it completely, and the prince and the others couldn't find an excuse.
"Father's pro-army ......" Xia Huan muttered softly, as if he understood why Chu Emperor Xia Ze dared to have so much courage to let go of the family and get involved in the military and politics of Chu State.
As long as the Shenwu Army does not fall for a day, then the royal family of Chu State will not change people for a day!
