Chapter 16: The Power of the Overlord (I)
At a distance of only three miles, in the rapid march of the Dashun army, less than half a cup of tea was crossed.
At this time, the Beiwei Army and the vanguard of the Dashun Army were only less than fifty zhang apart.
On the wide plain, at a distance of 50 zhang, even at night when visibility is low, you can still clearly see the enemy's figure.
The vanguard of the Dashun army was an old battalion of 2,000 light cavalry and 2,000 infantry in armor.
Two thousand of them were in front, while two thousand old battalions of infantry followed behind the cavalry.
Liu Zongmin held a large knife long and rode a horse to the front of the riding formation.
"Phewβ"
Stopping his war horse, Liu Zongmin squinted his eyes slightly, observing the Beiwei army through the faint light.
Just after a little glance, Liu Zongmin was shocked.
This armor of the Ming army is inevitably too good.
Even ordinary infantry is equipped with a set of full-body chain heavy armor, what is the origin of this Ming army?
You must know that even the three thousand elite guards directly under King Chuang can't do it to the extent that everyone is wearing fine iron and heavy armor!
A set of fine iron heavy armor is at least worth more than a hundred taels of silver, and it is still priceless.
Except for the Ming Dynasty, basically no other force has the ability to equip fine iron and heavy armor on a large scale.
With these thoughts in his mind, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but carefully observe this Ming army.
With his eyesight far beyond ordinary people, Liu Zongmin looked at the Ming army on the opposite side very carefully.
But because of this, Liu Zongmin's heart suddenly sank slightly.
In the face of an enemy ten times their size, these Ming soldiers not only had no fear, but also had a hint of impatience in their eyes, as if a hunter looked at his prey.
Is this still those Ming soldiers who are not as brave as the villagers?
However, what made Liu Zongmin's heart palpitate the most was not the Ming army with a strong military demeanor, but the majestic figure at the front of the Ming army who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
That majestic figure, just staying motionless, even exuded a strong domineering temperament.
Seeing this figure is like seeing a nemesis, even if the majestic figure doesn't make any movements, it is enough to make Liu Zongmin feel like he is on pins and needles.
Although he tried his best to ignore this figure in his mind, Liu Zongmin's attention was always attracted by that figure.
It's as if you've met a natural enemy.
Suddenly, Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes, and his domineering pupils exuded a terrifying brilliance.
Su Ming suddenly shouted, and the huge sound was like thunder on the ground, like a rolling wave of air, sweeping towards the Dashun army.
The BMW that Liu Zongmin sat down in was suddenly startled and almost lifted him off the horse.
Holding the reins of the war horse, Liu Zongmin was able to stabilize his body.
Even Liu Zongmin, who can be called a first-class fierce general, is like this, not to mention the light cavalry behind him.
Under Su Ming's loud shout, the two thousand cavalry of the Dashun army were suddenly frightened, and the scene was very chaotic for a while, and many cavalry were panicked, and it took more than ten seconds before they gradually calmed down.
As soon as he stabilized his body, Liu Zongmin, who was already hot, couldn't bear this feeling of grievance anymore, and scolded:
"Your mother's thigh, are you scared to be a turtle grandson?"
"If I don't teach you how to be a person today, Lao Tzu Liu will write it backwards!"
Liu Zongmin loudly ordered to prepare for battle, and the two thousand Dashun cavalry immediately pulled out their sabers at their waists and quickly assembled into a flat offensive cavalry formation in a short time.
These Dashun cavalry are not weak chickens like the five thousand Liukou before, they are all the elite of the old battalion that has experienced dozens of battles and has dominated the world for several years!
Their equipment is not comparable to that of ordinary rogues, because each of their cavalrymen wears double leather armor!
Not only that, but the cavalry at the level of the captain (managing five cavalry) and captain (managing ten cavalry) also have iron cotton armor on their bodies, and some generals (managing hundred cavalry) even wear fine iron heavy armor!
Plus the fighting skills honed over the years.
Throughout the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Dashun cavalry was also the only strong army in the Manchu Iron Cavalry and the elite army of the Ming Dynasty's Jiubian Guanning.
Of course, although he is tall among the short people, it is an indisputable fact that the Dashun cavalry is powerful and impressive.
When Liu Zongmin gave an order, the two thousand Dashun cavalry who quickly formed a flat cavalry formation were eyeing the four hundred iron cavalry with their backs fifty zhang away.
The same elite and strong army of all eras, two thousand against four hundred, such a huge difference in numbers, it seems that the Beiwei army is at a complete disadvantage.
Obviously, Liu Zongmin and the two thousand Dashun cavalry also thought so.
In their opinion, no matter how well equipped and strong the combat effectiveness of the Ming army on the opposite side is, can they still fight five at a time?
As for the figure that makes people feel palpitations, in the eyes of Liu Zongmin, who has an army of 20,000, it is just Erer.
No matter how strong he is, even stronger than himself, can he still resist thousands of troops?
It was precisely because Liu Zongmin thought he had thought this clearly just now that he dared not to take Su Ming in his eyes.
Coming to the front of the cavalry formation again, Liu Zongmin raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Sons, rush with Lao Tzu!" β
Without any hesitation, at the moment when the order was issued, the two thousand Dashun cavalry immediately began to ride their horses, followed behind Liu Zongmin, and launched a charge against the Beiwei army.
