Chapter 412: The Battle of the Gentlemen
On the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixteenth year of the first month.
King Changlin led Zhao Changqing's ace troops, heavy armored iron cavalry, to the area of Niutou Mountain and successfully joined Zhuge Liang.
300,000 heavily armored iron horsemen, this is a very strong force.
And these 300,000 people, all of them are warriors.
Regardless of the level of the realm, 300,000 people, even if it is one person and one foot, can trample countless land immortals to death under their feet.
Of course, this is an exaggeration.
However, this can also reflect the power of the heavy armor iron rider from the side.
The 300,000 troops, all of whom came to the emperor and others, stood quietly.
The majesty is on display.
Zhao Changqing smiled at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming, my 300,000 army, without violating my word, can resist a million heroes, and now, this 300,000 army is yours." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the 300,000 heavily armored iron horsemen shouted in unison: "I've seen the prime minister!"
The momentum shook the earth.
This was deliberately arranged by Zhao Changqing.
The heavily armored iron cavalry is an army that belongs exclusively to itself, and they are more elite than anyone else.
Such an iron horse, in the hands of Zhuge Liang, he was a little uneasy.
Therefore, this is also a disguised way to tell Zhuge Liang that if you make good use of these 300,000 iron horses, you can make them submit to you today, and in the future, you will naturally be able to make them disobey him.
Zhuge Liang can naturally understand this truth.
He bowed to the emperor and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely lead my Wei army to iron cavalry and be invincible." ”
Zhao Changqing nodded lightly, and let the 300,000 iron horsemen set up camp and rest.
And they, naturally, want to discuss the military.
According to the latest intelligence, they learned that at present, Kong Blade, Jiang Qianqiu, and Ye Xiaochen among the Nine Dragon Generals have rushed to the Niutoushan battlefield.
Although these three people have never been known for their academic knowledge of the art of war, they are good at commanding special arms of the army.
Kong Blade is a Confucian handsome, and what he is best at is commanding long sword soldiers to fight, and his power is evaluated by some people, and it is very likely that he will not lose to the Euphorbia of Megatron back then.
Jiang Qianqiu is the youngest general among the Kowloon generals, and now that he is in his prime, he is the best at commanding cavalry battles.
He once served as the head of the cavalry in the Tang State, and taught four or five hundred thousand elite cavalry.
Among them, there are 200,000 cavalry, which is the most powerful cavalry in the Tang Kingdom.
It is known as the Golden Fire Cavalry.
All of them are dressed in golden armor, all of them are majestic, and their combat power is even extraordinary.
When he came to the battlefield of Niutou Mountain, he gave Zhao Changqing a letter of war, planning to ask him to use cavalry to fight to the death in the prairie outside Niutou Mountain.
Ye Xiaochen, all of his subordinates are archers.
What he does best is commanding archers.
He once researched a kind of repeating crossbow exclusive to Tang Guocai, which was widely known all over the world.
This kind of continuous-firing crossbow is extremely powerful, more than ten times more powerful than the power of a bow and arrow.
It is known as a nightmare for the armies of various countries.
Zhuge Liang is currently most afraid of the crossbow soldiers under Ye Xiaochen's command.
Moreover, he has more than 100,000 crossbow troops under his command.
That's a staggering number.
Once 100,000 crossbowmen set up a formation, they can instantly kill tens of thousands of troops.
He knew that after Ye Xiaochen came here, he thought about it overnight, planning to build a bow and crossbow by himself to counter the crossbowmen under his command.
Previously, Zhuge Liang had discussed with his wife Huang Yueying about the production method of repeating crossbows, and his wife also gave a lot of pertinent advice.
This gave him a general idea in his mind.
After a few days of hard thinking, he finally created a new type of repeater, and also told Zhao Changqing about it, "Your Majesty, this kind of repeater, Wei Chen is sure to believe that it is several times stronger than Ye Xiaochen's crossbow, but in a very short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to cast a large number of them." ”
Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said, "This is easy to do, I immediately asked the Manufacturing Department and the Ministry of Industry to find a way to build this kind of bow and crossbow overnight, the more the better, and send it here." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "For today's plan, it can only be like this." ”
He was afraid that he would not have time, but it seemed that this was the most effective way to do it at the moment.
"What kind of name do you plan to take for this kind of bow and crossbow?" Zhao Changqing asked.
Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Weichen didn't think of it for the time being, why don't Your Majesty help Weichen think of one?"
Zhao Changqing pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said: "Then it's better to simply take your surname as the name, and call it Zhuge Repeater!"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"
Zhuge Repeater, named after his own surname.
This is a great opportunity to live for a lifetime.
Once future generations remember the name of this repeater, they will think of themselves at the first time.
He originally thought that His Majesty would come up with a name related to the Wei State.
After all, the bow and crossbow designed by Ye Xiaochen was called the Tang Dynasty heavy crossbow by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty is so grateful for giving himself such a name.
Zhao Changqing said: "You don't need to thank me, then again, I should thank you." You have paid a lot for Dawei, and I remember it in my heart. ”
Zhuge Liang bent down and clenched his fists and said: "Wechen doesn't dare, this is all Weichen's business." ”
Zhao Changqing asked him about something else, "You know about Jiang Qianqiu, one of the Nine Dragon Generals, and I have a war letter, right?
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to pay attention to this kind of thing at all, after all, Jiang Qianqiu is just a general of the Tang State at best, and Your Majesty, you are the emperor of my Great Wei Kingdom, and he is not worthy of it at all, so why should Your Majesty bother with it?"
Zhao Changqing felt that this remark was very reasonable.
He'd heard a phrase before.
A lion will never turn back because of the barking of a wild dog.
But
Zhao Changqing really wanted to see if the heavy armor iron cavalry was powerful, or the so-called golden fire cavalry was superior.
He told the military advisor what was in his heart.
Zhuge Liang thought about it, but still didn't agree to this matter, "Your Majesty, if the enemy army sets up an ambush and the heavy armor and iron cavalry suffer heavy losses, it will be irreparable." ”
Zhao Changqing said: "I have thought about this problem, I will properly deal with this matter, the prairie outside Niutou Mountain is endless, and there can be no ambush at all, and it is they who pick the place, and we pick the time." Since it is a battle of gentlemen, then, we should go to the battle, otherwise, the people of the world will say that we are afraid of the golden fire cavalry of the Tang Kingdom. ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Since Your Majesty insists on going, you should also let General Chen Qingzhi lead the troops and horses to meet the battle, why does Your Majesty have to surrender your identity?"
Zhao Changqing said firmly: "Because I am the emperor immediately!"
Early the next morning.
Zhao Changqing gathered his army and headed for the prairie.
Each side brought 30,000 troops.
Sure enough, it was 30,000.
It's a gentleman's battle.
The Golden Fire Cavalry has not been on the battlefield for many years, and Jiang Qianqiu needs a gentleman's battle to prove to the world that the Golden Fire Cavalry of the Tang Kingdom is still the most powerful cavalry in the world.
And the main reason why Zhao Changqing faced the battle was to tell the world that the heavily armored iron cavalry of Wei was the first army in the world.
After all, in order to cultivate this cavalry, it took Zhao Changqing a lot of effort.
In this battle of gentlemen, although the number of participants on both sides is small, it is destined to go down in history and attract attention.
