Chapter 17 The Iron Rider Appears

As the finger looked, a majestic cavalryman dressed in black clothes and black armor appeared in the sight of the soldiers. From a distance, the black color seems to be a torrent, bringing people a strong visual impact.

From a distance, a lineup of hundreds of cavalry appeared on the street in Chen Liucheng.

Among them, the first three hundred are five people in a column, a total of sixty columns.

They were dressed in heavy armor made of fine iron, and their horses were equipped with newly developed stirrups and Takahashi saddles. Walking on the road, under the horse's hooves is the sound of heavy horseshoe smashing the ground, but the step point is so consistent, people can't help but feel a feeling of worship.

These three hundred heavy cavalrymen were holding broadswords with a length of more than two meters.

The blade is pitch black, and it is made by repeatedly soaking in black oil, which ensures that its toughness and durability are longer than ordinary wooden sticks.

The head of the knife shone with a dazzling light, it was made of fine iron, which was far stronger and more durable than ordinary iron tools, and when it slashed into the human body, the killing force caused by inertia was only stronger.

The three hundred broadswords stood in the hands of the cavalry, like the attention of the three hundred flags, and a sense of not being angry and dangerous also naturally arose in the hearts of the onlookers.

After three hundred heavy cavalry, there were five hundred light cavalry.

Compared to the heavy cavalry, they were also equipped with stirrups and Takahashi saddles, and they were also dressed in black armor, but their weight was much lighter.

Wearing such black armor, they naturally do not have the same high protection as heavy cavalry, but they also have their own advantages, that is, they can move faster, can pursue the enemy, and achieve the effect of annihilation one by one.

In addition to the different materials of the clothes, the weapons are also completely different. There were no long knives, instead short spears and long bows.

Short guns are used in hand-to-hand combat, and longbows are indeed improved versions, with a longer range and faster power than ordinary bows and arrows. Of course, such a modified longbow also needs enough strength, but fortunately, Zhang Jiajun's people have been professionally trained in this area, and there is no problem in using it.

Three hundred heavy cavalry, five hundred light cavalry appeared on the streets as if they had suddenly appeared in the city. caused the people in the city to be panicked, and suddenly they had the backbone. They all scrambled from their homes into the streets, and stood on either side, looking at the cavalry with great admiration.

The orphans of Zhang Jiajun on horseback also appeared in the crowd for the first time with such a face. Usually, the space for their activities is very limited, nothing more than a training ground in the compound and a horse farm on the side.

After a long time of training, their hearts gradually became hard, and they originally thought that there was nothing to excite them, but when they saw all the people in the city come out to watch them, or look at themselves with such reverent eyes, they all felt that this training was not in vain, and they were even more proud to be a member of Zhang Jiajun, which was equivalent to strengthening their determination to choose their current lifestyle.

Before the eight hundred cavalry, it was Zhang Rui, the captain of the cavalry brigade, and Guo Jia, who also wore a battle armor.

Naturally, Guo Jia's armor is worn for protection, he will never go to the battlefield, such a wise man will not take risks, Zhang Chao will not agree.

This time he traveled, Bai Tong did not follow. In Zhang Chao's words, they went to war, and women followed what to do. Just this sentence made Bai Tong, Lu Fei and others stay in the Second Prince's Mansion. It's just that when she looked at Zhang Chao's eyes leaving, she was so reluctant, speaking of which, this was the first time the second son went to the battlefield, and she should be nervous.

It was Zhang Chao, who just waved his hand very casually, and then rode a white horse towards the west city gate.

Zhang Chao understands Bai Tong's feelings about him, but now that he has not yet become famous, it is too early to consider these things, so he can only pretend to be relaxed, only in this way can Bai Tong and the others rest assured and believe in their second son more.

In fact, riding on a war horse, Zhang Chao has the feeling of being a general before, the difference is that he is now with cavalry, and he uses cold weapons such as knives and guns.

Dressed in white and riding a white horse, Zhang Chao walked at the forefront of all the cavalry, and his appearance made more people point fingers at him, and there were many girlish shy eyes looking at his whole body.

Zhang Chao turned a deaf ear to all this, what he needs now is how to command this battle and how to win more beautifully.

Above the city gate, Zhang Jie had already seen Zhang Chao as the leader, and said excitedly, "Look, that's the second son." After shouting this, he also began to mutter, "It's strange, obviously Taishou handed over all the military power to himself when he left, where did the second son come from these cavalry?" ”

"Open the gates." Zhang Chao's voice suddenly sounded, like a lightning bolt resounding over the west gate of the entire Chen Liucheng.

"Quick, open the gates." Zhang Jie gave an order without hesitation after hearing this. At this time, he didn't even think about how dangerous the situation was when there were homeless people and the Yellow Turban Army outside. All this is due to Taishou Zhang Miao's love for this brother, and even he is usually resigned to it, let alone his general.

The gates were slowly pushed open by several soldiers, and a heavy creaking sound was heard.

The west gate of the city was suddenly opened from the inside, and those displaced people were like a flood that suddenly found an outlet, and they suddenly gathered here and poured into the city en masse.

The Yellow Turban Army is getting closer and closer, and now entering the city is the safest place, and everyone has a sense of being in a desperate situation, so how can the speed be slowed down.

All of them had barely opened the gates before dozens of clever outcasts poured into the city, but then they quickly and frantically retreated.

The people outside were puzzled, and they were still pouring inside. The people inside did try to retreat, and for a while the crowd was confronted here, and it was not difficult to advance or retreat.

"Retreat!" When Zhang Chao saw this scene, he raised his right hand and raised the spear high above his head.

"Retreat !!"

As soon as Zhang Chao shouted like this, the eight hundred cavalry behind him roared together, and suddenly the voices converged, like ten thousand horses galloping past, which also caused the originally crowded city gate to quickly quiet down.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, but none of the displaced people rushed forward, and they all saw the eight hundred cavalry dressed in black, and they were shocked at this moment.

The 800 cavalrymen are dressed in black, which can impact people's visual nerves. Coupled with the bright long knife, it makes people feel a natural sense of fear.

After Guo Jia saw the reaction of the displaced people before the cavalry, he sighed in his heart, "There is no problem with Chen Liu, with such a cavalry shock, I believe that no one will dare to mess around." ”

On the opposite side of the crowd, Zhang Chao, who was at the forefront of the knights, did have 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart at this time. He liked this feeling very much, the feeling similar to the king of the world, and the feeling that a person can be judged by life and death with a single word.

"Retreat !!" As Zhang Chao raised his right hand, the cavalry behind him roared in unison, and suddenly the homeless people who were blocking the city gate seemed to react, and immediately scattered to both sides. They had every reason to believe that if they didn't listen to these cavalrymen, the final result would be that they would all die here without waiting for the arrival of the Yellow Turbans.

The homeless people gave way to a wide avenue, and Zhang Chao took the lead and went to the front. Behind him, the eight hundred cavalry walked forward without any emotion except for the landing of their horses' hooves, and it felt as if a thunderbolt swept across the sky.

The strong momentum made Zhang Chao and the 800 cavalry go out of the city very smoothly, and set up a formation in the west of the city, waiting for the Yellow Turban Army from far and near.

Zhang Jie had already led the defenders of the city to the west gate, and the displaced people who had been shocked by the cavalry did not dare to rush into the city after seeing the appearance of these officers and soldiers.

As soon as the situation was decided, Zhang Chao focused his attention on the Yellow Turban Army, which was getting closer and closer.
