Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Cavalry Appearing
As he looked in the direction of the finger, a majestic cavalry wearing black armor appeared in the line of sight of the soldiers. From afar, the black color was like a torrent, giving off an extremely strong visual impact.
From a distance, a formation of hundreds of cavalry appeared on the streets of Chen Liu City.
Among them, the top three hundred were five people in a row, a total of sixty.
They wore heavy armor made of fine iron, and their horses were equipped with newly developed stirrups and high-bridge saddles. Walking along the road, the sound of heavy horseshoes smashing into the ground could not help but cause people to feel like they were about to worship.
These three hundred cavalry wielded broadswords that were over two meters long.
The blade was pitch black. It was made by repeatedly soaking in black oil. It could ensure that its toughness and durability were longer than ordinary wooden sticks.
The tip of the saber flashed with a dazzling light. It was made of pure iron, much stronger and more durable than ordinary iron tools. When it was cut into a person, the lethality caused by the force of inertia would only be stronger.
The three hundred sabers stood in the hands of the cavalry, like three hundred banners, and a sense of not being angry was naturally born in the hearts of the onlookers.
After the three hundred cavalry, there were five hundred light cavalry.
Compared to the heavy cavalry, they were also equipped with stirrups and high-bridge saddles. They were also wearing black armor, but their weights were much lighter.
Wearing such a black armor, they naturally weren’t as defensive as heavy cavalry. However, they also had their own advantages, that was, they could move faster, chase after the enemies, and achieve annihilation effects one by one.
Apart from the different materials of the clothes, the weapons were also completely different. There was no saber, instead a short spear and a longbow.
Short guns were used for close combat. The longbows were indeed modified versions, and their range and strength were far and faster than ordinary bows and arrows. Of course, such a modified longbow required sufficient strength. Fortunately, the people of Zhangjiajun had received professional training in this field, so there was no problem in using it.
Three hundred cavalry and five hundred light cavalry appeared on the streets as if they had suddenly appeared in the city. The people in the city, who were originally still in a state of panic, instantly had a backbone. They all rushed to the streets from their homes and stood on both sides, looking at the cavalry with admiration.
This was the first time the orphans of the Zhangjiajun army had appeared in the crowd like this. Usually, the space they had was very limited. It was only the training ground in the courtyard and a horse farm beside them.
After a long period of training, their hearts slowly hardened, He thought that nothing could make them excited, However, when they saw all the people in the city coming out to look at them and looking at them with such reverent eyes, they felt that their training had not been in vain. They were even more proud of being a member of the Zhangjiajun. This also meant that they were even more determined to choose their current lifestyle.
Eight hundred cavalry before, is cavalry captain zhang rui, and also wearing a suit of armor country.
Naturally, country this armor is to protect and wear, he is definitely not on the battlefield, such a wise man to risk, zhang chao also won’t agree.
This trip, Bai Tong did not follow. In Zhang Chao’s words, they were going to war, what did women do with them? Just these words left Bai Tong, Lu Fei, and the others in Second Childe Manor. However, when she looked at Zhang Chao who was leaving, she was so reluctant. Speaking of which, this was Second Childe’s first time on the battlefield, so she should be nervous.
On the other hand, Zhang Chao casually waved his hand and rode his white horse towards the west gate.
Zhang Chao understood how Bai Tong felt about him. However, he was not famous yet. It was too early to consider these matters. He could only pretend to be relaxed. Only in this way could Bai Tong and the others feel relieved and believe in their Second Childe.
In fact, riding on a warhorse, Zhang Chao had the feeling of being a general in the past. The only difference was that he was now carrying cavalry, using cold weapons like swords and spears.
Dressed in white and riding a white horse, Zhang Chao walked at the forefront of all the cavalry. His appearance caused more people to point at him, and many of them looked at him with shy eyes like young girls.
Zhang Chao turned a deaf ear to all of this. What he needed now was how to command this battle well and how to win more beautifully.
Above the city gate, Zhang Jiejing saw Zhang Chao in the lead and said excitedly, “Look, that’s Second Young Master.” After shouting these words, he began to mutter in his heart, “Strange, when the satrap left, he handed over all military power to him. Where did Second Young Master get these cavalry?”
“Open the city gate.” Zhang Chao’s voice suddenly rang out like a bolt of lightning in the sky above the western gate of Chen Liu City.
“Quick, open the city gate.” Hearing this, Zhang Jie gave the order without hesitation. At this moment, he didn’t even think about how dangerous the situation was when there were refugees and the Yellow Scarf Army outside. All of this was due to the care of the satrap, Zhang Miao, for this brother. Normally, even he would let it go, let alone his family general.
The city gate was slowly pushed open by a few soldiers, and a deep crunch could be heard.
The western city gate was suddenly opened from the inside. Those refugees were like flooded waters, and they suddenly found a vent. They immediately gathered here and poured into the city.
The Yellow Scarf Army was getting closer and closer. Right now, entering the city was the safest place. Everyone felt as if they were living in a hopeless situation. How could their speed be slowed down?
All of them, only a corner of the city gate opened, and dozens of smart refugees poured into the city, but then they quickly and crazily retreated.
The people outside were puzzled and were still rushing inside. The people inside really tried to retreat, and the crowd confronted each other for a moment, so it wasn’t difficult to advance or retreat.
“Retreat!” Seeing this scene, Zhang Chao raised his spear high above his head with his right hand.
“Retreat!!!”
Zhang Chao shouted, and the eight hundred cavalry behind him roared together. Immediately, their voices gathered together, and they galloped past like thousands of horses, causing the originally crowded city gates to quickly quiet down.
At this moment, the city gate was already wide open, but none of the refugees rushed forward. They all saw the 800 cavalry dressed in black. At this moment, they were shocked.
The eight hundred cavalry were dressed in black, and they were capable of assaulting people’s visual nerves. In addition to that bright saber, it gave people a natural sense of fear.
Country before the cavalry saw the reaction of the refugees, sighed in the heart, “Chen liu no problem, with such a cavalry shock, I believe that no one dares to act recklessly.”
Across the crowd, Zhang Chao, who was at the forefront of the knights, had ten thousand mud horses in his heart. He liked the feeling that it was similar to the feeling of a sovereign ruling over the world, that a single word could cut off a person’s life and death.
“Retreat!!!” As Zhang Chao raised his right hand, the cavalry behind him roared in unison. Immediately, the vagrants in front of the city gate seemed to react, and immediately separated into two sides as birds and beasts. They had every reason to believe that if they didn’t listen to these cavalry, the end result would be that they would all die here before the arrival of the Yellow Scarf Army.
The refugees made way for a spacious road, zhang chao took the lead, to the front. Behind him, the eight hundred cavalry didn’t move forward except for the hooves of their horses. It felt like a bolt of lightning had swept across the horizon.
The powerful aura allowed Zhang Chao and the eight hundred cavalry to leave the city smoothly, and set up a formation in the west of the city, waiting for the yellow scarf army from far to near.
Zhang Jie had led the city guards to the west gate. The refugees who had been intimidated by the cavalry saw the appearance of these officers and men, and no one dared to charge into the city.
As soon as the situation was settled, Zhang Chao focused his gaze on the Yellow Scarf Army that was getting closer and closer.
