It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they did not encounter the heavy armored infantry of the Western Army that was several times their size, these more than 500 elite heavy armored cavalry were almost invincible in the Song Dynasty.

If we want to force an analogy, the heavy armored cavalry of this era is equivalent to the tanks of later generations during World War I.

Being strong is really strong, but being expensive is also really fucking expensive.

Even if all costs are put aside, the daily maintenance of the war horse alone is a huge expense.

Do war horses need daily training?

Once trained, enough concentrated feed and salt water must be supplemented every day, otherwise the horse will become useless in a few days, let alone gain weight.

And war horses have huge appetites. The amount of refined grain consumed by a war horse in one day is equivalent to three to five Qingzhou Army soldiers.

There are more than a thousand war horses, plus more than a thousand pack horses and walking horses. How much does it cost just to eat, drink and have sex?

Secondly, soldiers have to drill and take night classes, so they don't have much time to take care of their horses.

Therefore, it is necessary to spend money to hire professional grooms to take care of them. Each cavalry must be equipped with at least two people, one groom and one handyman.

Luo Sha quickly responded and ordered the soldiers to end their formation.

Eight thousand is the limit of Xixia, if you raise it any less, it will be better!

Sitting under a luxurious carriage belonging to the Chinese army, Tan Ai was leaning against the carriage to drink wine.

Brother Luo was also talking nonsense. He took out the transfer order document from his arms and threw it over.

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows: "It was Daya Nei himself who came here."

While talking, everyone came behind Brother Luo.

That's when they met us. If they were really the enemy, with just one charge, the small army of 10,000 people would collapse in an instant.

Obviously, the transfer order document is genuine.

At this time, Yuhoujun also came to his senses.

The rules of the game are very complicated. One person sits on the bank, chooses one or several copper coins, and then puts them in his hand or shakes them outside the bowl. If he guesses which copper coins are on the back, he wins.

No matter you are a prince or a noble, or you are a trafficker or a pawn, no one knows how to play.

The Wu Weijun looked at them.

Suddenly, I heard bursts of heartbreaking roars coming from the carriage.

"Got the order!"

I also wanted to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and use the heads of the Wuwei army to frighten Tan Ai's army and Qiu Si, but the guy turned out to be so cowardly.

That noise frightened all the soldiers of Yuhou's army.

The fourth child couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that Yuhou's army would be so corrupt."

The consequences of losing less than two hundred lives were very bad. At this moment, everyone in the army looked at Brother Luo with deep fear and awe in their eyes.

The groom's food, drink and salary are another expense.

Laosi cupped his fists in response, hit the horse and rushed towards the rear.

The armed guards knew the opponent's identity, and with the threat of hundreds of heavy cavalry in front of them, they dared to trust Xiao.

Although the transfer letter was true, there was something strange about this matter, and there was obviously nothing fishy about it.

Compassion is the leader!

When I was young, the Wu Weijun and Tan Ai came wearing iron armor and setting up horses.

The fourth child naturally recognized Liu Qi, so he replied: "The county magistrate did not come in person. This time it is Battalion Commander Liu!"

When they heard that they were going to be beheaded, the people who were kneeling on the ground and running for their lives suddenly panicked and cried and begged.

As the military tents were set up, Brother Luo gave orders to capture the soldiers who had fled into the mountains one after another.

Since we have killed the armed guards, we will kill those deserters.

Brother Luo waved his hand and led the cavalry battalion towards the small army.

Even from a hundred meters away, you can feel a fierce and fierce aura.

When all the cavalry were ready, Tan Ai waved his hand and took the lead in setting up his horse and running towards the official road in the rear.

Hearing this, Wu Weijun opened his palm underneath, revealing seven copper coins.

Wu Weijun asked hurriedly: "But Dare Chijun?"

If you want to quickly control that small army, you must kill many chickens to scare the monkeys.

Rumble!

Before the instructions were finished, Tan Aihui and Tan Ai also got on the carriage, summoned their personal guards, and hurriedly finished putting on their armor.

Looking at the deserter kneeling on the ground, Brother Luo looked cold and said sternly: "Article 4 of the Military Law: Anyone who escapes from battle must be killed!"

What's even more frightening is that my commander of the Marquis of Yu's army, horse and infantry commander, is completely aware of it.

Therefore, after a while, all the seven hundred deserters who fled to the mountains were captured.

Instead, run away!

Wu Weijun was shocked and responded quickly.

The strong smell of blood filled the military residence.

I saw hundreds of Zhenhai soldiers running toward the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road with frightened expressions.

Wow!

The officers and soldiers of Yuhou's army had never seen such a scene before. Their faces were pale and their hands and feet were weak.

Even if he could move his hands like an arm, he could at least be as messed up as he was just now.

And that battle formation, in the eyes of Brother Luo and others, was full of loopholes.

These seven or eight thousand guan are due to Han Zhen's introduction of horseshoes, which effectively protected the soles of the war horses and greatly reduced the wear and tear of the war horses. Otherwise, the monthly cost would have exceeded 10,000 guan.

Others may recognize it, but I do.

Following in front of Lao Si, the Wuweijun asked in a whisper as quiet as a mosquito: "Who are those Han Zhen people?"

"One hundred coins, two to carry!"

The moment he saw the fourth child, Liu Qi felt a chill in his heart.

"..."

Wu Weijun swallowed his saliva and said warily: "Is there no transfer order document?"

As his hands shook, the copper coins hit each other, making a jingling sound.

Brother Luo clasped his hands behind his chest and watched with warm eyes.

When the Zhenhai soldiers who were responsible for escorting grain, grass and baggage saw the swarming cavalry in front of them from a distance, their first reaction was not to form a warning formation, nor to report to their superiors.

After glancing at the two of them, Lao Si asked, "Is he the commander of Yuhou's army?"

Hearing the words "disobedience", the heavy cavalry in front raised their spears and assumed a posture of charging into the formation.

"Then... Shangguan understands!"

"I was wrong, I will never dare again."

Changing generals before the battle is a taboo, so I need to spend some time to get familiar with and control Yuhou's army.

Tan Ai put on a straight face and imitated Wu Wei's tone and said warmly: "From now on, Marquis Yu, you will take over the seven Zhenhai armies and temporarily assume the unified position of the capital. Do the seven of them understand?"

I walked along two outer roads, but didn't see a single spy along the way.

Seeing that eight were on the back, I immediately smiled proudly: "Han Zhen lost again!"

Tan Ai curled her lips, not feeling disappointed.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing my confused look, Wu Weijun was furious, raised his hand and slapped Luo Sha in the face, scolding: "Pass you

Order, form a formation to meet the enemy!"

If the Wuwei Army insists on playing with me, I just want to play.

These deserters did not run far at all. Before retreating outside the mountain, they stopped when they saw that the cavalry did not charge.

The handwriting is that of Zhao Ting, and there is no official seal of Zhizhou and Tongpan on it.

I am now doing tens of thousands of yuan in business at a time, and now I am interested in making a big fuss.

Immediately afterwards, the rumble of horse hooves was faintly heard.

It was only then that I ordered: "Fourth, go and call Liu Qi and us!"

hiss!

Besides, how could Liu Qi think that the guy from the Wuwei Army had been cheating, and he just didn't expose it because of his face.

Instead of feeling depressed, he was actually laughing out loud.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Tan Ai winking at him.

It is conceivable that people in the Song Dynasty loved Guan Pu very much.

"Let's go and take over the small army with our capital!"

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is a long story. Brother Yu should first think about how to get through it."

"Yes!"

Well, I was still stupid and knew how to run out of the woods.

The sound of the knife blade entering flesh was heard intermittently.

Wu Weijun was afraid that I was fooling him, so he hurriedly said: "Feng shui is changing, and Tan Ai's fortune changed immediately."

Liu Qi suddenly thought of a possibility and took a deep breath.

"Why did Liu Jiedu's son come to Qingzhou? Could it be that the Western Army has arrived?" Wu Weijun was confused at this moment and had many doubts in his mind.
To be continued...
