Chapter 252 Are our Song Dynasty’s armies so rubbish? (Here we come! There will be another chapter tonight!)
Lu Dang returned to the camp and summoned thirty personal guards. Then he went to the playground to wait for other people. The other commanders also arrived with their personal guards. In a short time, three to four thousand people gathered.
People are arriving one after another behind.
Lu Dang took a quick look and was very satisfied. The commander had almost arrived. It seemed that this matter had really aroused public outrage.
And the people brought here are all personal guards. If they don't do this kind of thing, they won't dare to call them if they are not hardcore.
Now the top soldiers are clamoring to retire. If they knew they wanted to bring people to kill Lu Yining and the others, they would probably rebel too, so they all only brought their own guards.
Now the Baojie Army has more than a hundred battalions. Each battalion has five capitals and each has a hundred people. In other words, there are about five hundred people in the battalion. Basically, the commander's personal guards are based on ten
Otherwise, there is no way to ensure combat effectiveness and to be able to suppress the bulk of the soldiers in the camp.
Therefore, each of the commanders basically brought forty or fifty people this time, which was about five to six thousand people.
Lu Dang was considered a relatively authoritative commander. With his order, all the torches were lit and raised, and the playground suddenly became a bright square. Under the leadership of Lu Dang, they began to move towards the place where Zhang Heng lived.
, Lu Yining and others also live nearby.
Lu Dang took the lead and ran ahead. To be honest, he didn't have any thoughts about Lu Yining, but he did have thoughts about the wealth Lu Yining carried.
He knew Lin'an Trading Company, and he knew that Lin'an Trading Company was the richest in the world. Lu Yining was even called the female goddess of wealth in the Song Dynasty. Such a person would probably carry hundreds of thousands of coins with her when traveling, even if she did not do business specifically.
Banknotes, if you can get those hundreds of thousands of banknotes, then your life will be considered complete!
Ludang had this idea, and other commanders naturally had their own ideas as well. Some wanted money, some wanted people, some out of righteous indignation, and some just because of stupidity, but no matter
Anyway, they led five or six thousand people towards the watchtower noisily.
But after walking for a while, just after walking out of the playground, Lu Dang felt something was vaguely wrong. Amidst the noise, he faintly felt the ground shaking. The feeling was very familiar, a bit like an earth dragon turning over.
It's a bit like...cavalry!
Lu Dang was immediately surprised: There were few war horses in the Baojie army. Where did the cavalry come from?
Lu Dang quickly ran to a higher place and shouted loudly: "Please be so quiet! Please be so quiet!"
But among the five or six thousand people, one person's voice was very small. When his soldiers saw this, forty or fifty people shouted in unison: "Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!"
Forty or fifty people roared together, immediately drowning out the chaotic sounds. The chaotic sounds on the playground gradually disappeared. At this time, the roaring sounds became clearer and clearer. Not only did Lu Dang feel that something was wrong, but other commanders also changed their expressions.
: "Cavalry! Where did the cavalry come from? Are they from Xixia?"
A commander immediately stayed on the ground and listened carefully, and then said: "There are three groups of cavalry coming from three directions: east, west, and south, each with about a hundred cavalry!"
Lu Dang frowned upon hearing this and immediately asked: "Are you sure it's three stocks with a total of about 300 horses?"
The commander nodded and said: "It won't be too different. There are three strands, one each on the east, west and south. They all look like dozens or hundreds of riders. There won't be more!"
Lu Dang laughed when he heard this: "I understand, it's the guards brought by Mr. Rabbit. Haha, three hundred cavalry, so powerful!"
He looked at the five or six thousand people in the playground and said with a smile: "Three hundred cavalry versus six thousand personal guards. Ha, what do you think?"
The rest of the commanders laughed and said: "Chop him off!"
Lu Dang drew his sword and shouted sternly: "Comrades, if Xixia soldiers invade Anzhai, you can kill them!"
The commanders’ eyes were bright and they all replied: “No!!!”
They all called their guards to prepare for battle immediately. At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed out from the west street, about a hundred cavalry, but they did not rush over immediately, but rested for a while outside the playground, just for a moment. There were also some from the east.
The cavalry appeared, also about a hundred cavalry, and after waiting for a while, a hundred cavalry also appeared from the south.
The leading knight in the south raised his voice: "Surrender without killing!"
The hundred cavalry behind him immediately responded: Surrender without killing! Do not kill the avatar!"
Hundreds of riders from the east and west responded at the same time: "Surrender, don't kill! Surrender, don't kill!"
The playground suddenly became silent, and you could even hear the sound of sparks exploding from the torches and the soldiers' gradually heavier breathing.
Lu Dang sneered and said: "You want to kill us, what a joke, you only have three hundred riders, we have six thousand elites, how can we kill them!"
The leading knight in the south was Yan Shengshen. His handsome face was protected by a mask, and only a pair of cold eyes were exposed. He suddenly held the short whistle in his mouth, and the short whistle made a shrill sound. Three short whistles and one long whistle resounded throughout the playground.
The three cavalry units from the east, west, and south slowly accelerated along the edge of the playground. After a moment, the speed picked up, and the six thousand soldiers in the playground immediately retreated.
Lu Dang shouted loudly: "Don't retreat, they only have three hundred people, and they have no armor. Even if they are cavalry, they can't hold it!"
While they were talking, three cavalry units rushed into the playground and collided directly with six thousand soldiers.
Lu Dang was at the outermost position, and his personal troops bore the brunt of the attack. They faced the cavalry team led by Yan Shengshen himself.
Lu Dang said loudly: "Avoid the edge and chop the horse's feet!"
Yan Shengshen's cavalry did not have armor, but they were just acting in a hurry and had no tools to resist the cavalry. Most of them only brought a long sword and did not resist the horse, nor did they bring anything like bows and arrows, so they were
The cavalry easily rushed into the crowd.
The reason why Lu Dang was dissatisfied with this cavalry was that, on the one hand, there were not many cavalry in these three groups, and secondly, there were no armors, and the horses were not armored. It was simple, just cut off the horse's feet, and then after the horses were damaged, the cavalry would definitely die if they fell to the ground!
Lu Dang was very insidious. A group of cavalry rushed past. The heads of his soldiers suddenly flew up, and blood rushed to the sky like a fountain, but he did not blink an eye. Then he suddenly slashed at the knight's legs with his sword, but this time
The blow was like beating leather, with no feeling of cutting into it. Ludang was surprised. He glanced at it through the light and found that the horse's legs were actually wrapped with a layer of black cloth. It was this layer of cloth that hindered the
His knife.
"What kind of cloth is this? Is it so strong?"
He just thought of this sentence, and then he felt that his body was very light, and he flew up quickly, and he had a panoramic view of the entire playground:
The three teams of cavalry cut in from three directions: east, west, and south. They rushed forward as fast as a hot knife cutting through cold oil. No one was able to join forces wherever they passed, and they quickly penetrated the thin formation.
Lu Dang sighed, and then realized that he was already falling. When he saw his body, Lu Dang's last thought was: My head is flying...
Not only Ludang encountered this problem, but the other soldiers also encountered this problem. They found that the black cloth wrapped around the horse's legs not only prevented the cutting of the blade, but also seemed to have a buffering effect inside.
It actually had no general impact.
And more soldiers discovered that the clothes worn by the knights seemed to be made of the same material. Slashing with swords and spears seemed to have no good effect. However, their swords and spears were like scrap metal when faced with the knight's long sword.
Usually, they are cut off directly, sometimes even the arms and head are cut off.
However, this was only a lead in terms of equipment. More importantly, when they got really close, the guards of the Baojie Army discovered that the knights on the horses were all very tall and powerful, and the horses under their crotches were also very rare.
Tall!
Therefore, the power of the charge was very majestic, and no one could resist the long sword that was swung down. For a moment, blood and flesh were flying everywhere.
In the eyes of Di Qing, who was watching the battle from the watchtower, the three dim lights seemed to disappear after getting close to the huge light cluster. However, the light cluster quickly dispersed and was cut into several light clusters, which continued to shine.
The ground dimmed, and then they rushed into the streets as if they were frightened.
It was obvious that the soldiers led by the commanders had been defeated.
Di Qing was very surprised and asked: "Xiang Zhang, which army do these three hundred cavalry belong to? They are so powerful!"
Zhang Heng smiled and said nothing. This was not something Di Qing could know.
The three hundred cavalrymen were actually created by Zhang Heng after years of hard work, using Lin'an Trading Company and a mountain of wealth.
After all, in a country like the Great Song Dynasty, it was not an easy task to train three hundred cavalrymen and train them privately.
Zhang Heng took advantage of Lin'an Commercial Bank's opening of branches across the country to train these three hundred cavalrymen in the name of training guards.
The knights are the strongest men, and the horses are the best horses purchased by Lin'an Trading Company through various channels.
The cloth wrapped around the horse's legs and the stab-proof clothing on the knight were items that Lin'an Trading Company spent countless amounts of money on, just to avoid the taboo of armor.
After all, in the dynasty, having swords and guns is nothing, but if you hide armor secretly, it is comparable to the crime of rebellion.
The swords and guns were made of the latest special steel produced in the steel plant run by Lin'an Trading Company.
It can be said that this cavalry may be the most wealthy cavalry in the world today, and it is also an army armed with the most advanced technology.
However, even so, with a numerical difference of twenty to one, it is still difficult to achieve such a result, at least it is not so easy to win.
The cavalry led by Yan Shengshen defeated the rebel army, but Zhang Heng was only proud for a moment, then frowned and turned to Di Qing and asked: "Are our Song Dynasty's armies so rubbish?"
Di Qing didn't know what to say for a moment.
