On the third day of the ninth month, three days before the start of Zhang Wen's official battle, in order to salvage the blow to the morale of the Han army, Liu Bei personally took a series of strong subordinates such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Jian, Dong Huang, and Han Hao to personally rush to the local Haoqiang's house surnamed Hu to arrest people.

The Hu family used the family's private soldiers to protect and resist, and Liu Bei was furious and directly ordered the use of force.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei swung their swords and advanced, opening the way in front, and the people behind followed closely behind, killing the private soldiers of the Hu family.

Subsequently, Liu Bei took his entire family back to the barracks as a rebel, beheaded him in public, and exterminated his family, directly overtaking the family physically.

Damn, a mere family thinks that if they hug the eunuch's thigh, they dare to ignore the 100,000 army?

If I don't give you some color, I really don't know that the army is the strongest source of power in the world!

Thinking about the military?

How many heads do you have?

Zhang Wen was very worried about Liu Bei's move.

"Eunuchs care most about face and money, Xuande does this, I'm afraid there will be eunuchs who are not good for Xuande!"

Liu Bei smiled slightly, saying that it didn't matter.

"Military law is like a mountain, if the military law cannot be implemented, the majesty of the commander cannot be preserved, the soldiers cannot use their lives, and they will not be able to win the battle, and if the eunuchs want to come, they will come to me! Back then, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't help me when they joined forces, let alone now? ”

Zhang Wen was speechless about this.

But Liu Bei really didn't worry about this.

Beforehand, Liu Bei had secretly sent a letter to Zhang Rang, telling him about this matter, saying that he owed him a favor and asked him to help settle the lost eunuch, and it was best to beat him.

As for the social relationship of the Hu family, if there is any, I also hope that Zhang Rang will help people to the end, solve it together, and let them disappear from this world.

He Liu Bei remembered this favor and will return it in the future.

Zhang Wen didn't know Liu Bei's actions in private, and watched Liu Bei righteously say that he would do whatever it took to maintain the majesty of the commander and military law, and he was quite moved in his heart.

He remembered the relationship between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and thought that through the relationship between the Cao family, maybe Liu Bei would be able to pass this hurdle safely, even if there were some difficulties, the Cao family would also turn over on his behalf.

Although there are still many question marks, but what he didn't dare to do, Liu Bei decisively helped him solve this trouble and solved his urgent need, and he was still quite grateful to Liu Bei.

Not only did Zhang Wen have a completely changed view of Liu Bei, but many army generals who were not familiar with Liu Bei before also had a new perception of Liu Bei.

Just do what you say, kill when you say you want, don't be afraid of the threat of eunuchs, and vent heartily, such a man is a real macho man.

With the help of his boss and the change of impression in the army, Liu Bei was more sure of the matter of opposing military merits, so in the first battle on the sixth day of September, Liu Bei got the opportunity to attack.

At that time, Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen each led an army to clash with the main forces of the left and right flanks of the rebels, and Zhang Wen personally led an elite army to attack the opponent's front army and the Chinese army.

From the early morning confrontation between the two sides to the afternoon, this battle is still a little far from the end.

Approaching dusk, the rebel cavalry finally attacked, Zhang Wen stood on the hill in the distance to observe the situation on the battlefield, and saw at a glance that the rebel cavalry was attacking from the Chinese army's large array, and the target was the left flank of Dong Zhuo's department, so he realized that the opportunity was coming.

He ordered Liu Bei, the cavalry captain, to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to attack, the goal was to defeat the rebel cavalry, if he could take the opportunity to shake the large array of the Chinese army and create an opportunity for the main force of the army to defeat the opponent's Chinese army, it would be a first-class military merit, and Liu Bei would inevitably get the first merit in this battle.

Zhang Wen looked at Liu Bei.

"This battle is dangerous, can Xuande be sure?"

Liu Bei, who was fully armed in armor, smiled confidently.

"I am willing to break it for the general!"

Zhang Wen was very happy, nodded, and gave Liu Bei a military order.

Liu Bei immediately led the five thousand elite cavalry of his headquarters to the battlefield, ready to attack.

In the era when there were no perfect Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups, the tactical movements of the cavalry were greatly limited, and most of the cavalry could not perform very flexible tactical maneuvers on horses like the cavalry after the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

But that didn't mean that cavalry couldn't fight on horseback.

In fact, the development of cavalry harness was not achieved overnight, not perfected by one or a few genius inventions, but improved little by little through long-term combat and continuous trial and error.

Liu Bei observed this very carefully, although his cavalry did not have bilateral stirrups and perfect Takahashi saddles, but they were by no means stirrups without horse assistance, nor did they have saddles used to carry cavalry.

Even the saddle used by the elite cavalry of the Han army is close to the shape of Takahashi's saddle in shape, and there is a direct relationship between the front and back in terms of function, and it is obvious that it is the direct predecessor of Takahashi saddle.

And such harnesses were not uncommon in the course of the development of cavalry.

In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, with the continuous development of the war against the Xiongnu, the harness of the Han cavalry was also developing, and the saddle, an important carrying tool, was also constantly improved and improved.

Finally, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Youzhou Tuqi was able to shine.

The Youzhou Assault Cavalry is a group of combat cavalry that can launch a frontal charge on the battlefield, not an archer cavalry.

Although still light cavalry in terms of equipment, the presence of the assault cavalry proves that even without perfect harness, skilled cavalry can still rely on their own horsemanship to carry out armed attacks, and play a decisive role in the situation on the battlefield.

It can be said that the development of cavalry is not stagnant, nor is it achieved overnight and completely formed, but after hundreds of years of gradual development, there have been many contents such as constantly improving horse harness, mature tactics, and excellent commando commanders.

When all this is almost ready, the final perfection of stirrups and saddles can naturally make the cavalry more powerful and crushing combat effectiveness, not in a certain period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, suddenly these heavily armed brothers who stepped on stirrups to change the mode of war appeared.

All weapons and equipment in history did not appear suddenly, and their functional patterns must have a relationship between the past and the future.

Of course, Liu Bei is an outlier, and in this world, only he can do things like a mechanical séance.

It's just that Liu Bei doesn't have the confidence to dominate the world now, so although he knows about the existence of Takahashi saddles, bilateral stirrups and horseshoes, he won't use them easily, because this thing is too easy to imitate.

He will only release these magic weapons of war after he has the most powerful cavalry in the whole world and basically monopolizes the horse-producing land, and in one breath he will make his cavalry a heavy brother who will change the battlefield, and then establish his complete victory like a devastating one.

And at the moment, he is also a macho man who can face his rough inner thighs.

Facing the cavalry onslaught of the Liangzhou rebels, Liu Bei took a deep breath and adjusted himself to a violent state.

It seemed that he was aware of the change in Liu Bei's state, Zhen Yan immediately became nervous, ready to pay any price in order to protect Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was also prepared for the overall impact.

He is already familiar with the battlefield, and he will no longer have any reaction to the slaughter and bloodshed on the battlefield that does not belong to a warrior.

What I want to pursue is not only the victory of this war, but the victory of a line, but whoever stands in my way will be crushed by my best efforts.

So, all of you, go and die.

"Attack!"

Liu Bei gave the order to attack.
