Chapter 346: Heavy Cavalry

Nearly 1,000 horsemen lined up and rushed over the meadow, leaving behind pieces of loess and countless dead grass trampled by the horses' hooves.

The sound of the horse's hooves falling to the ground was deafening, and it was even more imposing than the galloping of ten thousand horses.

rushed for nearly five miles, and then was pulled by the reins by the knights and stopped in front of Lu Bu and the others.

Behind Lu Bu were Jia Xu, Gao Shun and other civil and military officials in the state.

"Horses are good horses carefully selected from tens of thousands of war horses, and people are the elite cavalry of our army, and the combination of the two is really extraordinary." Jia Xu looked at this group of knights and praised sincerely.

The good horse is not so praised by Jia Xu, obviously the iron armor on the knights is the foundation.

"This is just to put the knights in heavy armor, if even the men and horses are wearing battle armor, I am afraid their strength will be even more extraordinary." Even Gao Shun couldn't help but admire.

"This is just a prototype, and when it comes to the battlefield, it is no longer necessary to rely on the horsemen's riding skills to maintain the battle column, but to use chains to connect the war horses, and then they will be invincible, and the lethality will become more and more impressive." Lu Bu laughed and said.

"But if all men and horses are heavily armoured, will the horses be able to withstand the ground?" Xu Huang asked with some concern. He estimated that the armor on these knights weighed sixty or seventy pounds, and if the weight of the horse armor was added, it was nearly two hundred pounds.

"These war horses are all selected from a hundred, and they are only responsible for charging into battle, and they don't need to fight the enemy for a long time, and it's not a big problem in a short time!" Lu Bu explained.

"If there were already this ironclad cavalry in our army, then where would the Xianbei people dare to be rampant...... It's a pity that they don't have the patience to fight, otherwise who can stop me under the heavy cavalry charge? Song Xian's eyes were fixed on these cavalrymen, almost all of them left saliva, obviously very hot on these things.

"Old Song, don't think about it, these are my people!" Wei Xu on the side saw that Song Xian's face was full of eagerness, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he hurriedly blocked Song Xian's body like a calf.

"Besides, it can not only destroy the withering impact, but also kill the enemy for a long time...... Where can a man do it? Unless every cavalry member is like a big brother, and the horses are more than the red rabbit......"

"If this cavalry is on the battlefield for more than a moment, it will inevitably make all the men and horses tired to death." Wei Xu hurriedly talked about the shortcomings of these heavy cavalry.

"But I'm afraid there is no army in the world that can resist their momentary onslaught." Song Xian was not affected by Wei Xu's words in the slightest, and still paid attention.

"That's it! Don't fight! Zilong is the commander of this army, and as for Wu Ping, he is just a temporary commander, Lao Song, you better take the men and horses under your command! Lu Bu laughed and scolded the two of them, saying words that made the two of them frustrated.

"Okay, now that we've seen a little bit of it, let's let the soldiers take off their armor and rest, and let's go back to the city." Lu Bu glanced at the horses and the sweaty knights, and said helplessly.

Although it was only a small training, both the horses and the riders were almost exhausted.

"It seems that the heavy cavalry must be ridden on one horse and three horses to withstand the battle...... One horse is a camel, the other is armoured, and the other is a good horse with the task of fighting at any time......"

Lu Bu thought about it, so he led everyone in the direction of Jinyang City.

At this moment, one of the guards from Lu Bu's mansion ran over.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu frowned and asked the visitor.

"Lord...... Luoyang sent a letter, saying that Liu Biao wanted to negotiate peace with the lord. The man said breathlessly.

"Where is the faith?" Lu Bu was very puzzled.

Although Lu Bu has not made any radical moves against Liu Biao these days, Liu Biao should not negotiate peace with him?

Because Liu Biao is here in Lu Bu, and Liu Biao proclaimed himself emperor just two months ago, in the face of the battle for imperial power, Lu Bu and Liu Biao, who support Liu Biao, should be incompatible. Speaking of which, Lu Bu is the most capable force capable of attacking Liu Biao.

"What conspiracy does Liu Biao have again?" Lu Bu thought subconsciously.

"The letter is still with the messenger, he wants to come with his subordinates, but the subordinates don't agree, but when the subordinates ask him for letters, he won't give them ......," said the guard.

"Something interesting...... "Several strategists under Lu Bu's command began to plan unnaturally.

After all, Liu Biao has been out of the limelight this year, and he has simply played with everyone in the world, although it is because others have not deliberately guarded against it, but Liu Biao's image can't help but be raised a lot.

"Let's go, let's see what conspiracy Liu Jingsheng has!" Lu Bu said, speeding up his horse.

When Lu Bu came to the city, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a court official standing anxiously at the gate of the city under the hostile eyes of a group of soldiers defending the city.

"Hey, isn't that Fu Xun?" Xun Yu exclaimed when he saw someone coming.

"Wen Ruo knows that person?" Lu Bu turned his head to look at Xun Yu.

"This man is also quite famous, and he is good at reading people, but this is his character...... I heard that I went to Liu Biao to do it later, and the lord will know it when he sees it! Xun Yu said, revealing a meaningful expression.

"Xiaguan Shangshu ordered Fu Xun to see General Lu." Fu Xun saw Lu Bu and the two of them busy with small cannons from a distance, and bent down to bow.

"Fu Zhizhong is here, what's the matter?"

Lu Bu naturally heard Fu Xun's official position in the self-reported family, Fu Xun's official position in Liu Biao's court was Shang Shuling, but Lu Bu still called him the position in Jingzhou, obviously announcing that Lu Bu did not recognize Liu Biao's throne at all.

"Your Majesty ordered me to ......," Fu Xun had just said when he was interrupted by Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty has been staying in Bingzhou, how did he give you an order?" Lu Bu looked like he was about to be angry.

"Come with me into the city." Lu Bu saw that Fu Xun's calm expression had changed to a little anxious, but he didn't say anything to embarrass Fu Xun in front of the public, but instead made an invitation.

Seeing Lu Bu's indifferent look, Fu Xun couldn't help but feel pressure on his next move.

Fu Xun is indeed good at recognizing people, when he was unwilling in Luoyang, he followed Liu Biao to Jingzhou alone, who would have thought that Liu Biao could sit alone for two or three months to sit firmly in the position of Jingzhou's assassin history, and he Fu Xun also rose and became the governor of Jingzhou.

And with Liu Biao's usurpation of the throne in Luoyang, Fu Xun became Shang Shuling, although this official position is not of high grade, but the real power is above Jiuqing, which makes him very proud in the admiration of the ministers.
