Chapter 10 The King of Jin Is so Brave that He Is the Bravest Among All the Armies

The sudden "Qin Wang Po Zhen Music" and "Feng Tian Jing Nan Ban Ni Wen" caught Yun Hui Army Deputy General Chang Chenghu and his more than 10,000 troops off guard.

Many Yun Hui Army soldiers were still immersed in the shock brought by the "Qin Wang Po Zhen Music" faintly echoing on the city gate tower, and even forgot to put on armor, mount horses and prepare for battle.

Even the deputy general Chang Chenghu was a little absent-minded, secretly sighing that Chen Huaian's move was equivalent to 100,000 elite soldiers!

By the time he reacted, Chen Huaian had already led the 18 riders of Longcheng to jump over the suspension bridge, and the follow-up 3,000 Po Lu Army cavalry followed.

Dengdengdeng, Dengdengdeng, Dengdengdeng!

The thunder-like sound of horse hooves came from far away, shaking the ground inside and outside Longcheng.

In a blink of an eye, the two armies were only a thousand steps apart.

At the speed of the warhorse sprinting at full speed, it only takes a dozen breaths for the two sides to engage in close combat. There is not much time left for Chang Chenghu and the 10,000 vanguard troops of the Yunhui Army.

Chang Chenghu hurriedly turned around and waved his whip to mobilize the army to line up to meet the enemy.

"Those who don't want to be trampled to death by the warhorse, stand still for me and don't panic. No matter how fast your two legs are, you can't outrun the four legs of the enemy cavalry warhorse. If you panic, you will die!"

"The shield soldiers are at the front of the formation, and the spearmen use the shield as a line of defense and raise their spears to stand still. They can't retreat even if they die.

Where are the crossbowmen? Hurry up and shoot arrows for me to consume the enemy cavalry, so that our cavalry can put on armor and mount horses to meet the enemy!"

"The left and right Yuhou soldiers are responsible for supervising the army. Those who escape in the battle will be killed without mercy!"

Chang Chenghu rode back and forth in the Yunhui Army formation, directly passing down military orders to the combat troops, and personally commanding the Yunhui Army to form a formation to meet the enemy.

At this point, even the infantrymen of the vanguard of the Yunhui Army, who had been frightened by the oppression brought by the full-speed charge of the three thousand Longcheng Iron Cavalry, could only bite the bullet, close their eyes, and form a battle formation with shields and spears to deal with the full-speed sprint of the Po Lu Army cavalry, leaving their lives to fate.

The archers in the Yunhui Army finally fired the first round of arrows at the galloping Longcheng Iron Cavalry in a hurry.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The sky full of arrows hit the high-speed moving Longcheng Iron Cavalry like a torrential rain.

However, most of the arrows flew to Java, and only a few arrows hit the Po Lu Army cavalry, leaving a white spot on the soldiers' armor and helmets and disappearing.

Unless the crossbow carts were used to shoot arrows at the cavalry, it would be difficult for the Yunhui Army archers to shoot arrows to penetrate the well-equipped Longcheng Iron Cavalry.

At this time, the distance between the two armies was less than 200 steps.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Another wave of arrows rained down.

However, this time the arrows were directed at the Yunhui Army.

It was the Po Lu Army cavalry that retaliated against the Yunhui Army's archers while sprinting at high speed, using horse crossbows to shoot at the Yunhui Army's archers.

As the last cavalry in the Po Lu Army, the equipment of these three thousand Longcheng Iron Cavalry can be said to be extremely sophisticated.

In addition to being equipped with black armor for protection, they also carry horse crossbows that can shoot 200 steps. The long-handled combat weapon is a lacquer spear, and the short-handled combat weapon is a short-handled long sword.

In addition, there are also special weapons such as pecks, hammers, axes, and whips for smashing and breaking the formation.

In contrast, the weapons and equipment of the Yunhui Army's vanguard are much inferior.

Especially the infantry used for battlefield consumption, except for a few soldiers equipped with infantry armor, most of the soldiers only have one piece of cloth armor or cotton armor, which can't stop the arrows shot by the horse crossbow equipment.

Although the arrows fired by the cavalry of the Po Lu Army with horse crossbows had lost their accuracy during the high-speed movement, it was still a big blow to the infantry of the Yun Hui Army who were forming a formation on the spot.

After a round of arrow rain, hundreds of Yun Hui Army infantry were shot and fell to the ground, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

The distance of 200 steps was reached in an instant.

In this lightning moment, the two sides fired two rounds of arrow rain at each other.

The next second, a tall golden figure stepped through the shield and spear formation formed hastily by the infantry of the Yun Hui Army, and the King of Jin Chen Huaian, riding on the back of the yellow horse wearing golden armor, took the lead and killed into the enemy formation.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji raised with one arm horizontally did not even need extra movements. Just relying on the inertial force brought by the yellow horse sprinting at full speed, it was enough to increase the power of the Fang Tian Hua Ji tenfold. One halberd pierced through three soldiers on the opposite side and knocked down dozens of people.

Then, Chen Huaian shook his arm vigorously, and immediately shook off the three halberd ghosts hanging on the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Then he swung it vigorously, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji drew a fan in the dense enemy camp, sweeping away dozens of enemy soldiers who had gathered.

One man and one horse, he attacked the enemy camp as if he was in an empty space.

"Kill!"

Following closely behind were the 18 riders of Longcheng wearing silver armor and holding Mo Dao. They all rode their horses and raised their swords, directly urging their horses to leap into the air and kill into the enemy camp.

Wherever the blade passed, there were casualties and blood splattered.

"Kill!"

Finally, the 3,000 cavalrymen of the Po Lu Army also waved their weapons and killed into the enemy camp.

Although they did not have the agility and superb martial arts of Chen Huaian and the 18 riders of Longcheng, they could not directly leap into the air and break through the enemy camp.

But as the last cavalry of the Po Lu Army, these 3,000 knights were all veterans who had fought many battles and had already mastered the coordination on the battlefield.

The Po Lu Army cavalrymen who used weapons to smash and break formations were the first to swing their weapons and smash the Yun Hui Army infantry who had hastily formed a horse formation with shields and spears.

In just one round, the defensive formation of the Yunhui Army was smashed to pieces.

Next, the cavalry of the Po Lu Army, who had been replenished, fired lances like dragons along the Yunhui Army's defense line that had been pecked, hammered, axeed, and whipped, and immediately caused chaos among the Yunhui Army's infantry who tried to re-form a formation to block the attack of the Longcheng Iron Cavalry.

Finally, the cavalry of the Po Lu Army, holding short-handled long swords, easily broke into the enemy formation.

The short-handled long swords in the hands of the soldiers flew up and down, raised high and chopped fiercely, and screams and wails came one after another where the swords flashed, blood and dust splashed everywhere, and headless corpses fell to the ground unwillingly.

The upper four horses against the lower four horses, the cavalry against the infantry.

In the first round of the Po Lu Army's southern expedition against the Yunhui Army, Chen Huaian severely damaged the vanguard of the Yunhui Army at the cost of almost negligible casualties, and killed more than a thousand enemies.

There were no less than 30 Yunhui army bandits who died under Chen Huaian's Fang Tian Huaji, and countless people were seriously injured.

However, this was only the first round.

In this battle, Chen Huaian, who was in high spirits, would use his hidden strength of practicing martial arts since he was three years old and visiting famous teachers to tell everyone in the Daxin Dynasty what "the courage of the King of Jin, the bravest of the three armies" means!

Let's get back to the story.

With the help of the time won by thousands of Yunhui army infantry at the cost of their lives, Chang Chenghu finally reorganized his more than 4,000 cavalrymen to put on armor and mount horses to meet the enemy.

At this moment, looking at the battlefield with a tragic battle, Chang Chenghu, the deputy commander of the army, still had lingering fears.

Especially after he witnessed the performance of the useless prince Chen Huaian, who had been ridiculed by the generals of the Daxin court for several years as "a tiger father and a dog son, weak and without strength", killing the enemy on horseback, he was even more scared.

This Chen Huaian is so damn patient, he has been pretending to be useless for more than ten years. This general scolded him as a waste in front of everyone in front of the Prince of Jin's mansion yesterday, but he didn't even say a word.

It seems that this guy has long made up his mind to rebel.

Now think about it, it's fortunate that the imperial edict arrived suddenly yesterday, otherwise Chen Huaian would have lost his head long ago without Pang Xianchu's action.

But now, the 4,000 Yunhui Army cavalry are ready to go. It's hard to say who will win against Chen Huaian's 3,000 Po Lu Army cavalry.

The 4,000 fully armed iron cavalry behind him are Chang Chenghu's courage and confidence.

At this moment, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. Chang Chenghu felt that he was fine again.

The weapon he used was a horse lance, about 14 feet long and weighing about 100 catties. It was a standard horseback combat long weapon for the generals of the Great Xin Dynasty.

Chang Chenghu was able to rise from a horseman when the previous Emperor Zhenwu Zhao Mang started his army to fight for the Central Plains to the position of deputy general of the Northwest Army today, not just because of his flattery and talking.

He was very powerful with a horse lance on horseback, and many enemy commanders died under Chang Chenghu's horse lance.

With a horse lance in hand and 4,000 Yunhui Army cavalry to support him, Chang Chenghu would weigh Chen Huaian on horseback no matter what.

Even if he couldn't knock Chen Huaian off his horse, he would never let him come and go freely in the Yunhui Army under his nose.

It would be best to drag him and the 3,000 Po Lu Army cavalry outside the city until the reinforcements arrived.

Chang Chenghu faced Chen Huaian, who was more than a thousand steps away, pointed his spear tip and shouted: "Pass the order down, whoever kills the bandit leader Chen Huaian will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins and be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"
