Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Mang Mountain, which was originally peaceful, became completely lively.
Mang Mountain is not only the burial ground of the Han Dynasty, but also a training ground. It also serves as a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang.
Due to Liu Hongyujia's personal visit, Mangshan was under martial law three days ago, and the military exercise site was surrounded by soldiers inside and out.
There is absolutely no need to worry about safety issues. It is no exaggeration to say that except for those flying in the sky, it is difficult for all species on the ground to enter!
Mangshan Martial Arts Arena, a venue that has been abandoned for many years, is now being reused.
A grandstand has been set up in the martial arts arena, but the grandstand only occupies a small part of the martial arts arena. The entire martial arts arena is very large. If you stand at the edge, your vision will even be blurry in the stands!
On the stand, Emperor Liu Hong was sitting in the center, and the three ministers and nine ministers were all present!
There are also captains from various departments, generals and a series of personnel present, and the entire martial arts field has no less than 10,000 people!
Liu Zhang's position today is very special. He has surpassed the position of the Three Dukes and is sitting right next to Liu Hong. He is even sitting further forward than the protagonist on the other side, General He Jin!
Liu Zhang kept looking at the faces below him and couldn't help but notice many old acquaintances.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and other eight people sat together. According to Liu Zhang's estimation, they should be the newly promoted Eighth Captain of Xiyuan. However, the leader attracted Liu Zhang's attention.
I saw that this man had no white beard and a feminine look on his face. His body shape and temperament were extremely inconsistent with his face!
The weather is very cold now, but this man is very conspicuous in the crowd because he wears very little clothes! However, this man has a rather majestic figure and looks powerful.
Liu Zhang has been on the battlefield for a long time. Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that this person is definitely not an easy person!
"Ai Qing is looking at Jian Shuo?"
Liu Zhang was slightly surprised and couldn't help asking Liu Hong,
"Your Majesty, is he Captain Jian Shuo?"
Liu Hong nodded. Jian Shuo was promoted by him personally and deeply trusted by him.
"Yes, Jian Shuo is strong and capable of martial arts, and he is also very loyal to me!"
At this time, a soldier ran up from below and knelt down in front of Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, both parties are ready, just waiting for your Majesty's order!"
Liu Hong stood up, took a deep breath, and then shouted.
"start!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Liu Hong gave the order, and the sound of drums suddenly sounded, and then he saw two groups of people continuously gathering on the field.
Woohoo!
Not long after, the sound of drums and trumpets also followed, and the entire martial arts arena instantly took on the atmosphere of a battlefield, and everyone became nervous unconsciously.
The sound of drums and trumpets is so penetrating to the heart, even in the cold weather, it can make people's blood boil!
The leader of He Jin's side is He Miao. That's right, the cavalry general He Miao personally leads the troops! The three thousand soldiers under He Miao's command are all cavalry! The entrance begins when the drum sounds, and when the bugle sounds, The array has begun!
He Miao's three thousand soldiers are already quite orderly. The cavalry is not as flexible as the infantry. There will still be some confusion in the formation due to the presence of war horses. But this is not harmful. Overall, He Miao's soldiers are not as flexible as the infantry. Soldiers are already considered elite!
Each of the three thousand cavalrymen wore leather armor and held long spears. Because it was a military exercise, the long spears were replaced by wooden sticks, and cloth strips were wrapped around the heads of the spears to prevent casualties.
If there were no comparison with the 500 cavalry under Liu Zhang's command, the cavalry under Commander He Miao would definitely be considered as powerful as a rainbow!
What a pity! In front of Wu Feng Camp, all soldiers pale in comparison.
The Wufeng camp was led by two generals under Liu Zhang, Zhao Yun in the front, and Taishi Ci in the center of the soldiers. However, in the eyes of outsiders, only Zhao Yun stood out, while Taishi Ci in the formation seemed to blend into the ranks of the soldiers.
Even so, the momentum erupted by the five hundred people in Wufeng Camp was astonishing! These soldiers were all wearing iron armor, with only their faces exposed. At first glance, they looked like iron men!
The Wu Feng Battalion has maintained a formation since they entered the field with the sound of drums. There has never been any panic. Even after the trumpet sounded and the team stabilized, they still maintained the same appearance as when they entered the field!
The entire formation of Wu Feng Camp is very loose, and the direct distance between people is quite large. The area occupied by a team of 500 people is almost the same as that of a team of 3,000 people! This shows that the personnel battle lines are loose!
At first, the armor of Wu Feng camp did shock everyone present, including He Miao on the opposite side and all the ministers in the stands. However, as everyone lined up, everyone began to doubt Liu Zhang's ability to send generals.
.
"Haha, they say Liu Zhang is the undefeated God of War, but I don't think that's the case! With such a sparse formation, once the cavalry general charges, I think these five hundred people can be annihilated in an instant!"
Yuan Shao in the stands did not hide his contempt for Liu Zhang's subordinates. In his opinion, Liu Zhang must be defeated!
Cao Cao's face on the side is more serious, he is not as optimistic as Yuan Shao.
"Benchu, General Hou has been on the battlefield for a long time. Do you think the people he sends will be unknown people? I don't think it's that simple!"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Cao Cao's words.
"Mengde, how can you use other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige? The chariot and cavalry generals are also generals who destroy rebels. Can't they crush 500 people with six times the strength?"
Cao Cao did not argue anymore, but he still disagreed with Yuan Shao's words, and looked down upon He Miao.
He Miao said that he had wiped out the rebels, but in fact he used overwhelming military power to directly wipe out the peasants who had just revolted! No matter in terms of military strength, equipment, or supplies, He Miao was far superior to the rebels. If this was not possible
If he wins, then He Miao might as well find a deserted place and kill him with a piece of tofu!
At this time, a sergeant ran to the edge of the stand and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"His Majesty has ordered that the military exercise begins!"
He Miao straightened up his wooden stick, pointed forward and shouted loudly.
"I am the Chariot and Cavalry General He Miao, who is coming!"
He Miao's intentions are extremely sinister. He has already overwhelmed the opponent with a large force, and now he is still trying to make the opponent timid by relying on his identity!
What a pity, who is he facing? Changshan Zhao Zilong! Liu Bei praised him as a tiger general who is full of courage! Not to mention He Miao, even the general He Jin can't make Zhao Yun even the slightest bit timid!
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, a military cavalry captain under the command of General Hou! No matter who you are, just come here with your horses!"
He Miao was immediately furious. It didn't matter that Liu Zhang was so rampant. After all, Liu Zhang's identity was quite special. Who do you Zhao Yun think you are? A small lieutenant under the command of the Hou General's Mansion! Normally, He Miao wouldn't even take a second look at this existence.
!
"What a thief! How dare you not take me seriously! Let's see if you will still be so arrogant when I trample you under my feet!"
"The whole army listens to the order, charge at me! Crush them!"
He Miao roared and immediately gave the order for the entire army to charge. The three thousand cavalry reacted extremely quickly. As soon as the voice fell, they were already rushing forward with all their strength!
The scene of the attack of three thousand cavalry was so spectacular that the ground began to tremble slightly. Every soldier kept roaring, erupting with a momentum that reached the sky!
On the other hand, Liu Zhang's side, including the general, had not made any move yet and were all in a daze!
"Hahaha! These five hundred people are scared to death!"
