After bidding farewell to Fei Shi, Zhang Song returned to the post house and fell asleep with doubts and exhaustion.
At the Houfu, Liu Cong, Yi Ji, and Fei Shi asked about Zhang Song's performance and actions today.
After asking, Ma Liang added, "My lord, I think Zhang Song has been completely fooled now, and we are just about to take the last step."
"Which step?" Liu Cong asked curiously.
"Show force!" Pang Tong answered.
Liu Cong thought about it and said, "Okay, let's get ready. In five days, I will review the troops again. The Ministry of War and the generals must be prepared!"
"Yi Ji, Fei Shi, you continue to take Zhang Song for a stroll these days. Don't be afraid of spending money. As long as Zhang Song wants to know more, all expenses will be taken care of by the government."
"I will take your orders!"
Soon it was five days later. Zhang Song was happily playing in Xiangyang these days, quite happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
On this day, Zhang Song was studying in the post house. This was two cartloads of various books given to him by Liu Cong after he knew he wanted books!
"Sir, Xing Daorong, the bodyguard of the Marquis of Chu, invites you to see the Marquis of Chu."
Zhang Song put down the book in his hand and murmured seriously, "You finally want to see me."
In the past few days, Yi Ji and Fei Shi had taken him to see so much. Didn't they just want him to see, identify with, and understand the prosperity of Jingchu?
Now, he felt that Liu Cong wanted to tell the truth. However, he was also ready to tell the truth. Liu Cong was indeed a wise master worthy of trust and refuge.
"General Xing, please wait a moment while I wash up."
"promise."
After washing up, Zhang Song left the post house and said, "General Xing, I wonder what the Lord of Chu summoned you to do?"
Xing Daorong chuckled and said, "My lord is going to review the troops and horses today, and I would like to invite you, sir, to come and watch with us."
Zhang Song understood that when he was in Xudu, Cao Cao also let him watch the powerful northern army, with the purpose of convincing him.
But now he has come to his senses. Cao Cao looks powerful, but in fact he is no longer able to attack the outside world on a large scale.
Liu Cong invited him to review the troops today to show him how powerful Jingchu was and to completely conquer him.
"Then let's set off. Don't keep Chu Hou waiting for a long time."
"Sir, please get in the car."
During this review of the troops, Liu Cong did not summon any more people, only civil and military officials from Jingchu. When Zhang Song arrived, Liu Cong and the civil and military officials had already gathered together.
As soon as Zhang Song saw the formation, he knew that he was the last one to arrive. "Let the Lord of Chu and you wait for a long time. If you have done something wrong, please punish the Lord of Chu."
Liu Cong grinned and said, "It's no big deal about trivial matters. Yongnian, come and sit next to Gu!"
There is an empty seat beside Liu Cong, which is specially reserved for Zhang Song.
Zhang Song was moved again, "Thank you so much, Marquis Chu."
After Zhang Song took his seat, Liu Cong signaled to Pang Tong, "Shi Yuan, let's start."
"Start the parade!"
"My lord has ordered, start the military parade!"
"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is ready!"
In order to demonstrate the strength of Jingchu, Liu Cong specially ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Xuanjia cavalry back from Wancheng. The military parade got off to a good start with this invincible heavy cavalry!
The people in the stands did not wait long before the ground began to shake slightly, and then the shaking became stronger and stronger.
Black Armor Cavalry steps into everyone's sight!
Quiet, silent.
Apart from the sound of horse hooves, there is no other sound!
"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry! Invincible in the world!"
Zhao Yun, who was in the lead, was still wearing a white horse and silver armor, raised his silver spear high and shouted loudly.
"Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world!" The soldiers behind him shouted.
"rush!"
In front of them was a group of straw men wearing armor, which instantly shattered to pieces under the impact of the iron cavalry.
Zhang Song was stunned on the stage, not only him, but also Jing Chu's civil and military personnel.
Not many people have seen the scene of black armor cavalry showing off their power on the battlefield, not even military generals, let alone civil servants.
Liu Cong worked hard in Jingchu to select men with an average height of more than 1.7 meters to form this cavalry.
In the south at this time, a man who could reach 1.7 meters tall was considered a tall and majestic man. But in the north, haha. If Cao Cao wanted to form such an army, he would definitely be 1.8 meters tall.
indivual.
Even so, this cavalry, whose men and horses were covered in armor, still caused an unparalleled impact on everyone present, even if they only impacted the immobile straw man.
During the impact, the formation was not very neat. It was extremely difficult for such a heavily armored cavalry to maintain its formation during the impact.
Even a cavalry commander like Zhao Yun, who has trained for so long, still cannot be uniform. However, such heavy cavalry does not need to be uniform. What they have to do is to attack everything in front of them and crush everything in front of them!
"Back!"
After sorting out the formation, Zhao Yun led the troops to charge back. The straw man who landed was trampled by the horse's hooves again. The straw man who did not fall to the ground was stabbed through the chest by the long spear in the knight's hand!
"I, Jingchu, have this iron cavalry, who in the world can stop me!"
"Yes, back then, my lord personally led this cavalry, and the horses trampled Cao's camp, causing Cao's army to suffer heavy losses."
The civil and military officials in Jingchu all lamented the power of this army.
Liu Cong said happily, "Well, Zhao Zilong is worthy of being a famous general in Youzhou! The formation and combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia cavalry have been improved to a higher level! Send an order to reward Zhao Yun with a hundred pieces of Shu brocade. Each of the Xuanjia cavalry will be given three thousand in money!"
"
"Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"
"Thank you, Lord, for the reward!"
Liu Cong was a little proud, "Yongnian, how do our Jingchu cavalry compare to Cao Jun?"
"Please speak frankly, Marquis of Chu, if this army is strong, it will be strong, but if Cao's cavalry is to attack in a roundabout way, this army will not be a concern."
Zhang Song saw Cao Jun's military parade in Xudu. Cao Jun's cavalry, especially the tiger and leopard cavalry, were top-notch in riding and shooting. If Cao Jun avoided fighting and only used light cavalry to harass, this army would not be able to catch up.
Jingchu Wenwu did not expect that Zhang Song would say such words, and his face was a little unconvinced for a moment. However, Liu Cong did not have an attack.
Liu Cong smiled and said, "Yongnian is right. If Cao's army takes a roundabout way to avoid it, this army will be exhausted and die without a burial place!"
"However, if it is combined with other arms, this weakness will not be a concern. Yongnian will wait and see."
The ground shook again, and Chen Dao came galloping with five thousand light cavalry.
Unlike the black armor cavalry led by Zhao Yun, the formation of the five thousand light cavalry led by Chen Dao was not chaotic at all during the gallop!
"Mounted shooting!"
Chen Dao shouted loudly, and the five thousand knights took out arrows from the quivers on their backs and kept shooting at the straw man.
"This?" Zhang Song stood up excitedly.
Among Cao Jun's cavalry, only the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were able to maintain a stable formation when riding and shooting. Now, such a cavalry appears in Jingchu. Does this mean that Jingchu's cavalry?
Are you qualified to compete with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?
"end!"
"Draw the knife!"
Following Chen Dao's instructions, the five thousand people still moved in unison, slowly stopped, and drew out their sabers.
"charge!"
He raised his sword and charged again. The straw man, already filled with arrows, was chopped into pieces by the five thousand knights who were scattered!
