What greeted An Lushan's eyes was a cloud of smoke and dust. Flesh splattered into the air, and the Heart and Dao Leader flew into the clouds with him, even though he was so fat. On the battlefield, the corpses of warriors fell, and were trampled to ashes by iron hooves. Whether it is his Youzhou elite who is not afraid of death, or the Tang Iron Cavalry who is willing to sacrifice his life for the country. What they all have in common is that they are constantly draining their own blood. An Lushan felt dizzy, the number of dead people was enough, even if the other party had killed more people than them. However, the city tower, which was only 100 meters away from the yellow sand, was as ethereal as smoke, and it was difficult to catch the sight and even more difficult to touch......

Master An gasped suddenly, and the attendant Li Zhu'er hurriedly knelt down. He sighed with relief, lifted Li Zhu'er and continued to fan the wind. I really didn't expect that on a sassy autumn afternoon, the sun still carries the residual heat of summer. I came to watch the joint drill of the cavalry of the three counties, and I actually fell asleep on the city tower.

However, as soon as his eyes converged on the spacious open space outside the city gate, standing majestically on the horses, this group of elite cavalry dressed in light armor, An Lushan's spirit immediately came up again. The drill was a battalion of 3,000 light cavalry from each of the three counties. And An Lushan's cavalry strength, including the three counties plus some tribes in the north that had long been subjugated, had a total of twenty such battalions.

These 3,000 light cavalry, which had undergone several years of rigorous training, could be called the Anjia Army, stood in half of the space outside the city gates. Under Shi Siming's personal command, various formations were arranged in an orderly manner, and the transformation speed between different formations was very fast. The movements are neat, the spear is drawn, the sword is drawn, and the horse is galloping, these steps are all carved out of a mold. Even the sound of horses' hooves sounded so neat. The sound of horses' hooves and the dust flew into the sky. After a while, the soldiers with yellow sand on their faces were on their horses, motionless, silent outside the city gate, waiting for General Shi to give orders.

Shi Siming, who was sitting on the horse in the Western Regions, proudly raised his head and looked at An Lushan on the city tower, An Lushan smiled and waved his hand. Shi Siming ordered to rest on the spot, and at the same time walked up to the city tower satisfied.

"Brother, look at our light cavalry. If twenty battalions are dispatched together, who can stop this Tang Dynasty!" Shi Siming smiled and patted An Lushan's big belly. The two have been brothers and sisters since childhood, and they have no scruples about each other.

"That's... But I'm afraid that my fat belly won't be able to support the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan said with emotion.

"Why did Brother An say this?" Shi Siming asked puzzled. An Lushan, who has always been ambitious, how could he say such depressing words?

An Lushan glanced at Li Zhu'er on the side. Smiled and shook his head and stopped talking. The servant who had been with him for several years understood that this was to make him step down. He put down his fan, bowed, and said, "Lord An, let me first tell you about the incident of encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Heavenly Lack Sect yesterday. ”

An Lushan nodded. "Last night, according to the confessions of the ten people half a month ago, the five accomplices were accused and hid in a deep mountain in West County. Lord Cai personally led the troops to arrest him. The resistance of the five men was fierce, and two of them were killed by officers and soldiers. The other three are already waiting for you in Youzhou Prison. ”

After Li Zhu'er finished saying what Cai Xide asked him to pass, he looked at this fat man who was as fat as a mountain, and a faint fear appeared on his face. And An Lushan's reply was really creepy, "Okay, I'd rather die than give in." Then let these three brutes taste the power of their own officials. Let's go and prepare for another execution, it's still in the South City Tower. I'd like to visit them in person tomorrow..."

After watching Li Zhu'er retreat, An Lushan pulled Shi Siming closer, lowered his voice a lot, and said close to his ear, "Brother, is there any news about your informant in Liyang?"

Shi Siming nodded, and at the same time asked puzzledly, "He said that recently, the Dao Tiemen of the Imperial Court Ministry of Industry has taken over a lot of local spiritual veins, and Liyang has begun to trade ores and spiritual veins with the imperial court. The first batch of ore after the New Deal has been delivered to Daotiemen. Brother An, isn't the Wumen official of this iron gate one of our people? I heard that the degraded military servant Lang Jiwen, Yang Guozhong's subordinate, went to Liyang, how could he have anything to do with Yang Guozhong in Liyang?"

An Lushan smiled proudly, "Brother, you are wrong. Let me ask you first, have you ever thought that although we have so many elite light cavalry, the imperial court may also have them, if we simply compare the number of people, besides, we are going to attack the city... Hehe, the weakness of the light cavalry will be brought into full play, and our advantage is far less than it seems. ”

"So, since the beginning of the year, I have had a plan to add a 2,000-strong mounted iron cavalry to our army. The flexibility of the light cavalry and the terrifying power of the mounted iron cavalry, we can use more tactics and tactics, and we are a truly unstoppable army of tigers and wolves!"

An Lushan said excitedly, his breathing was a little short.

However, Shi Siming was even more confused, "Equipped with iron cavalry, this type of military was still relatively popular in the Sui Dynasty... However, Brother An, this kind of iron cavalry requires a large amount of iron armor, which is tightly covered with people and horses, a mounted warrior, and three or four followers, and even the deputy horse needs to be replaced at any time during the real battle. An Iron Rider costs a lot. Although we have enough manpower, we also have enough horses... But in order to make bows, arrows, spears and other weapons, we have exhausted all the tribute steel of the northern tribes, and there is a serious shortage of steel to equip the iron horses. Other regions are now refusing to do business with us. Where did the Iron Rider come from?"

"Haha! That's why there is an iron gate, and we have sent us the rich iron ore of Liyang County!" An Lushan laughed, and then said mysteriously to Shi Siming, who had suddenly woken up, "Not only the Wumen official of the Daotiemen, but also the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and I have a secret correspondence in private. His Majesty is now obsessed with Concubine Yang, and Yang Zhao is already corrupt under the rule of traitors. Lord Shangshu will bury this matter for us. And a large amount of iron ore sent from Liyang will eventually come to our hands to prepare for the concrete iron ride!"

An Lushan stood up abruptly and grabbed his good brother's shoulder, "Thanks to the fact that the Tu Feng Sect is still allied with us now, most of the spiritual ore resources that make up for Liyang come from the Twelve Spirit Mountains. They have been so generous in helping us, and perhaps they really want to seize this opportunity of the 100-year period. ”

"Order now, prepare to build a Skeleton Iron Horse. The ceremony was postponed by the Tu Feng Sect, and the next auspicious day for Taoism was in early November. By that time, I'm going to see at least 500 elite cavalry! Imagine 500 invulnerable heavy cavalry approaching the city, followed by tens of thousands of infantry and light cavalry...... My great cause, our great cause, why not be afraid!"

"Why be afraid!hahaha!"
