"That doesn't seem to be here to test, is it?"

The eldest prince on the hillside said suddenly, his face changed greatly, and large beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

The cavalry charged, after the initial phase, and once it entered the charging phase, it was difficult to stop.

At this time, judging from the location of the smoke and dust, the number of cavalry was about 5,000, and the speed did not decrease, and they kept charging with all their strength, and they were only two miles away from the barracks.

At this speed, at this distance, it was too late for the cavalry to change direction.

This kind of momentum is not like a friendly army in the competition at all, but like a real enemy storming the barracks!

The eldest prince turned his head to look at Shangguan Ba, but when he saw a cold smile on the corner of Shangguan Ba's mouth, he actually nodded and said:

"Xiyong, you saw it right, that is the enemy army, a group of rebels who are trying to disrupt the transfer of authority between the Duke of Qin and the Duke of Wu!

They just want to kill all the contestants of this Zhengyang martial arts competition and shake the government and the opposition! ”

The eldest prince's real name is An Xiyong, and Shangguan Ba accepts him as an introductory disciple, which is equivalent to the eldest prince worshipping under Shangguan Ba, Shangguan Ba is his second father, so Shangguan Ba can call the eldest prince by his name.

After the eldest prince was shocked for a moment, his face gradually calmed down, and he said in a deep voice:

"Since there is an enemy, master, let me take someone with me!"

Looking at the big prince with a serious face, Shangguan Ba actually smiled and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

The eldest prince said as a matter of course: "I'll go and save them!" ”

"With your cultivation that is not even in the Dacheng Realm, or the two hundred iron cavalry guards under your command?

The other party is at least 5,000 cavalry, and I don't know if there are any rear soldiers and horses behind, no matter how elite your 200 people are, it's just a drop in the bucket! ”

"You can't do nothing... Wrong! Master, you know that there are rebels, and you even know that they are going to attack the camp of Zhengyang Wubi! ”

The eldest prince seemed to have discovered some secret, and his eyes were full of horror when he looked at Shangguan Ba.

Shangguan Ba brought him here, obviously just to see the military camp, but what is there to see about it five miles away, he only now understands that Shangguan Ba had long known that someone would attack the military camp, so he brought him here.

Only such an explanation can explain all these behaviors of Shangguan Ba.

Shangguan Ba nodded and said:

"That's right, that's it, Xion, your eyes are finally opened."

God's horizons are widened...... The eldest prince said that my heart was almost broken.

He had never been on the battlefield, and this was the first time he had seen cavalry charging into battle, and even if he was far away, sitting on horseback, the eldest prince could still feel an increasingly obvious sense of vibration.

It was the roar of countless horses stepping in unison, the majesty of the cavalry.

The eldest prince never thought that when the cavalry charged, it would be able to condense the divine power like a natural disaster.

As if in response to what the eldest prince was thinking, Shangguan Ba said lightly: "This is the cavalry."

That's it, the general trend! ”

"You have to remember that the most powerful force in the world is still the army.

No matter how strong an individual's force is, there is a limit to it.

But the strength of the army, the strength of a country, can be infinitely enhanced.

If you become a king in the future, all you have to do is to keep strengthening yourself in this environment surrounded by powerful enemies. ”

Shangguan Ba transmitted some of his life insights to the eldest prince.

"But, master, are we really not doing anything?" There was still worry in the eyes of the eldest prince.

Shangguan Ba said with a smile: "Since I know all about this matter, do you think Qin Guogong and Wu Guogong will not know?"

This time, forcing this group of people out was completely created by the two grandfathers of the country on their own initiative.

The group had to launch this attack or they would be crushed to slag.

The manipulators behind them will not let this piece go to waste.

Even if such an attack were launched, it would be almost impossible to succeed, and they would have to do it!

Great prince, you have to take a look, this is Wu Guogong's curtain call.

This is his invincible view of the overall situation and the means to control the overall situation! ”

At this time, Shangguan Ba was not in a hurry to tell the eldest prince the beginning and end of this matter, he wanted the eldest prince to see the results first, see the final result, and then tell him what the process was.

In the barracks at this time, Weng Bingliang was standing on a high platform, mustering up his internal strength and shouting:

"You are all the proud sons of the sky who came to participate in the Zhengyang martial arts competition, of course, the title of the proud son of the sky is self-appointed, and I have never looked down on it!

But now that the enemy has invaded and tried to attack the barracks, it is time for you to wait for the pride of these days to serve the country.

It just so happened that we set the rules of the second round of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition to be the end of the competition only if we repel this attack, and at the same time, the performance of everyone in the process will be used as the basis for measuring the final results.

Of course, you should also know that if we can't defend ourselves against the enemy, we will all die here today. ”

The people in the tents in the barracks below had basically come out, and the tremors and roars of the earth in the distance could be heard and felt by everyone.

Many of them already had a look of panic on their faces.

When Weng Bingliang saw this scene, he immediately knew that these people were not the generals they wanted.

In the face of the great enemy, it is already a sign of cowardice.

So there was coldness in Weng Bingliang's eyes, and when he saw these people, he couldn't help but show a look of disdain, but because he was standing on the high platform, the people below actually couldn't really see his face.

On the contrary, Liu Xin noticed this detail.

He was still wondering if this was a fake attack, but looking at Weng Bingliang's extremely serious expression, he felt that this thing seemed to be true.

Why was it attacked?

Was this a decision that the enemy had already designed in the first place or was it improvised.

If it's an ad hoc decision, how can the enemy give you a chance to react.

Once the cavalry has launched a charge, the farthest distance can be more than ten miles, of course, this is the longest distance, and if it is farther, the cavalry will enter a downward trend before charging to the designated position.

By that time, the impact of the cavalry would slowly weaken.

Therefore, this attack must have come from within ten miles.

Outside the imperial capital, there are outposts within a radius of 100 miles, and it is impossible for the enemy to successfully assemble at such a close distance without discovering it.

Of course, there is another possibility of this matter, that is, there is a traitor in the imperial capital, and the level of this traitor is not low, which can affect the information exchange in the imperial capital.

But this thing feels a bit mysterious when you think about it.

If there really are such high-ranking officials, then why attack the barracks here?

We've already done this, wouldn't it be nice to attack the Imperial City.

It's not that Liu Xin's ideas aren't bold enough, it's that he hasn't reached that level, so there are some things he can't imagine.

It was impossible for him to know that this was actually a game set up by Mi Yusong, Qin Guogong and Wu Guogong.

It was they who forced the other side to launch all the cavalry placed near the imperial capital together.

At this time, Wu Guogong and others were still in the imperial capital, and these five thousand cavalry alone would definitely not be able to attack the imperial capital.

Therefore, they had no choice but to settle for this barracks.

It can be said that more than half of the young heroes of the Zhengyang Imperial Court are gathered here.

If you can kill them here. It was also a great blow to the Zhengyang Imperial Court.

And these five thousand cavalry are only part of the forces they have prepared.

Originally, it was also used to cover the periphery and create chaos, so they didn't feel distressed.

If he didn't feel sorry for these words falling on Liu Xin's ears, I don't know how he would feel.

Because to train a cavalry of 5,000 people, it costs at least nearly one million taels a year.

Such a big price was lost so easily, how powerful the forces behind it were.

I only heard Weng Bingliang continue:

"You only need to do one thing well, that is, to receive weapons and prepare to defend against the enemy, if you have weapons yourself, then you don't need to collect them.

Of course, our soldiers will stop at the front line and block the first wave of cavalry!

So all you have to do is hide behind our soldiers and deal with the cavalry that has no impact!

Hope you all make it to the third round alive! ”

After Weng Bingliang said all this, he was about to turn around and leave, when he heard a voice beside him.

"I'm going to be at the front of the fight.

My father once said that only by stopping the first wave of cavalry attacks can we really block the cavalry offensive. ”

Weng Bingliang turned around and glanced at the other party, just looking at the contours of the other party's face, he already knew who the other party's father was.

Everyone is an old comrade-in-arms and familiar with the anomaly.

As Brother Shui was the first to speak, there were people below who echoed one after another.

"I also want to see how terrifying the strongest impact of the cavalry really is!

There is such a thing as going to war in the future. It's better to experience it early than to make it up after the fact.

Moreover, it is still near the imperial capital.

In the future, when we go to the battlefield, our environment will become very harsh.

You tell me? ”

Liu Xin looked at Shan Si, who had an excited expression beside him, and suddenly smiled slightly, no matter whether this so-called parallel chong was true or not, he was fearless.

Weng Bingliang saw that there were more than 100 people who chose to participate in the first round of impact, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was already smiling.

didn't refuse, he just said lightly:

"Then get moving, bunnies, you're all going to me now, and if you have a higher rank or rank than me and want my command, say it now!

Otherwise, it will not be outdated! ”

With that, he put on his armor, made the sound of the armor scraping, and strode away.

The roar of the war horses in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the tremors of the earthquake were getting worse and worse.

They were inexperienced, so it was impossible to judge what number of cavalry this level of tremor represented.

In the face of the unknown, the fear in their hearts is actually magnified, but as a warrior, the blood courage forcibly suppresses this fear.

There are even many people who are looking forward to it and yearning for it in their hearts, but of course, this kind of perversion of longing for war is only a small part.

It is more of a sense of responsibility as a descendant of a military general, also known as the glory of a wealthy family.

Losing this, they don't deserve to be after the merit.

Everything they get is based on glory!

Among these people, Liu Xin was probably the only one who was purely to see the power of cavalry.

He always saw in books some statement that the cavalry had to hedge, and the formation was unstoppable.

Of course, he was not a reckless man, and he wanted to test whether he could handle the cavalry, purely because of his secret skills.

Among the Holy Sects, although they have never interfered in the government affairs, there are also many brothers and sisters who have joined the army because of the heroism in their hearts.

Then, after generations of records were circulated, they were finally gathered into a military encyclopedia.

It contains detailed records of various methods for dealing with cavalry, and even corresponding exercises.

For example, Liu Xin's grinding sword, this kind of swordsmanship that fights slowly and quickly can actually be used to deal with sieges.

Most of the people who chose to face the cavalry charge head-on were absolutely confident in their own strength.

So basically they are all dancers from Dacheng Realm, and there are only two or three from the rivers and lakes.

Among them were the two men and a woman, for the woman had seen a man whom he had been thinking about.

"Brother Xuanqing also went, and I will go too!"

"Then we'll protect you." Wu Chu'an and Mei Kaixu's chests slapped loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

The time was very rushed, and there was no time left for Liu Xin to open the attribute panel, and of course he didn't have time to watch them one by one.

After Weng Bingliang left, a soldier led everyone to the north side of the barracks, and it only took a cup of tea to come here.

And here you can already see the dust stirred up not far away, and there is a faint neighing of war horses in the dust.

There was also a cold light reflected from the armor of the weapon, which also flashed in the eyes from time to time.

Facing the cavalry charge on the opposite side, Liu Xin actually had a judgment in his heart.

The opposite side is not the kind of top cavalry regiment.

According to the Holy Father's War Book, the strongest cavalry regiment had all the horses moving at the same pace, and all the cavalry attacks were perfectly cohesive, like arm-commands.

The entire cavalry regiment has reached that point, which is equivalent to gathering the strength of all the cavalry into one, one person can never fight against the combined force of thousands of people, even if you are a grandmaster, there is no such possibility.

And every step of the top knights is like a thunderclap, and the walk is like a landslide and tsunami.

This is what a senior of the Holy Sect recorded in the book, but he also remarked later, this kind of cavalry regiment only appears in the imagination, in reality, all over the history of the human race, it has never appeared!

What Liu Xin saw in front of his eyes and heard was a relatively scattered one.

Although the momentum of the cavalry charge was huge, it did not have the power to shock people's hearts.

But even so, the momentum carried by the cavalry was enough to make everyone pay attention and be ready for battle.

The book records a standard cavalryman wearing light armor and horses in light armor, and when the impact is at its strongest, even an ordinary person with slightly greater strength can exert the attack power to reach the peak of the Xiaocheng realm.

And if it is a warrior from the Xiaocheng Realm who is sitting on the horse, then his blow will reach the Dacheng Realm.

And the Dacheng Realm is a corresponding increase in the combat power of one level.

That's the bonus that cavalry brings!

Liu Xin, with his excellent eyesight, could already see the front end of the smoke, the constantly flickering metallic luster.

It's not the best of the best, but it's not to be underestimated.

There are heavy armored cavalry in the forefront!

The main purpose of the heavy cavalry is to guard against bows and crossbows, or even thousand-oxen crossbows.

However, Liu Xin looked around and didn't find such a defensive weapon as a thousand ox crossbow in this military camp.

If you want to defend against the charge of the cavalry without a thousand oxen crossbows, it is completely useless to rely on those who reject the horses.

Glancing at Weng Bingliang, who was almost standing at the front, Liu Xin felt that the other party was like a city wall erected there, while those ordinary soldiers looked into the distance. The cavalry that came with smoke and dust in the sky was not like looking at the enemy, but more like looking at the lover.

There was a strong desire in his eyes.

If you don't distinguish between demons, you can't live?

Liu Xin estimated that the cavalry in front of him was only about two miles away, and on his left was Shan Si.

The latter didn't know where to get a shield and threw it to Liu Xin.

"Brother Liu, I saw that you didn't go to get the equipment, so I got a piece for you."

Liu Xin tried the shield in his hand, it weighed twenty pounds, and the area that could be defended was about half of his body, and this shield was already considered a heavy shield, but it was not used to defend against cavalry.

The shield used specifically to defend against cavalry was the kind that was more than a man tall, and there were even raised spikes on the shield.

The soldier only needs to stick his shield on the ground and use his body against it to form an inclined plane, which can minimize the impact of the cavalry.

As long as there are four or five layers of such a defensive shield array, it can effectively resist the impact of cavalry.

It's a pity that there are no such conditions now.

Weng Bingliang is also a battle-hardened general, it is impossible for him not to know this truth, but he did not use the shield array, which means that there is indeed no such equipment in this military camp.

At this moment, Liu Xin began to mumble again, is this just a drill test, or is it really an attack?

However, the next moment, the enemy on the opposite side answered Liu Xin's question.

Liu Xin's ears moved, and a familiar humming sound was heard.

This is the sound of a bow and crossbow, and it is the sound of a very large number of bows and crossbows firing together.

I saw that in the blink of an eye, a burst of black fog suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xin, and it was the overwhelming crossbow arrows.

Cavalry charges must carry two pieces of equipment, one is a spear for charging and piercing, and the other is a crossbow for long-range strikes.

In addition to being the most powerful when used as a defense on the city walls, it is on the back of the cavalry, and the power of the bow and crossbow can be made even more powerful with the help of the cavalry's charge.

Moreover, when the cavalry attacks and charges to the front of the formation, it will fire a few rounds in a salvo first, forcing the opponent not to dare to take the lead, which can reduce the losses of the cavalry.

Because the cavalry is also most afraid of the opponent's bow and crossbow salvo, the arrows fired by the opponent combined with their own speed will form a terrible acceleration, making the arrows shot by the opponent also more powerful.

Therefore, when the cavalry charges, it must ensure that the arrow is fired before the opponent.

Of course, the cavalry also had countermeasures, that is, the heavy cavalry at the front.

The heavy cavalry not only wore heavy armor on the knights and held large shields, but even the horses that sat down were also dressed in light armor.

Such horses are generally the most powerful, the most burly and robust horses, and the warriors on horseback are also the most elite.
