"Generals order: First squad advance and climb the wall. Second squad advance three hundred meters and set up camp."
A deep and powerful voice rose from the pushcart, spreading far and wide with the top as its center. Within a few miles, it was as if someone was speaking right next to your ear, clear and audible.
The crowd on the mountain slope was moved again, and a general exclaimed: "What a wonderful skill! This persons internal strength is strong enough to rank among the top masters of the current era. Who would have thought that this small fifth unit had hidden dragons and crouching tigers?"
Emperor Han looked and found that it was Liu Zhengzhong, the Grand Commander of the Huanglong Army. Among the five major legions of the Great Han, four were controlled by the Four Great Houses, while only the Imperial Guard Huanglong Army, which guarded the capital, was the imperial familys personal guard. And each Grand Commander of the Huanglong Army was a member of the imperial Liu family and one of the most trusted people by the Emperor.
"Right in the middle, how does this persons martial arts compare to yours?" In Emperor Han Xians mind, Liu Zhengzhong was already one of the top masters of the current era, second only to the four first-class guards in the palace.
"I report back to Your Majesty, I am far from being his equal. In my opinion, only the four first-rank imperial concubines in the palace can be compared to her." Liu Zhengzhong said with a bow.
"What? Is it really that severe? Then who is this person?" Emperor Han Xian turned to Gu Dao, but saw that he also had a puzzled expression, and couldnt help but say: "Gu Ai must still not know."
The old mans face turned alternately pale and red, he was so choked with rage that he could hardly speak.
The three thousand-man teams that had been guarding the carts in front of them ran forward in an orderly manner after hearing the order. After nearly a month of besieging Linan, although they did not break through Linan, the moat outside the city had already been filled with the flesh and blood of the Han army. They trampled on the bodies of their comrades, stones and debris to run under the city wall, set up cloud ladders, and began to climb up. The middle team also started to move, they ran out three hundred meters, and stopped five hundred meters away from the city gate. This was already within the range of the catapults, but all the living people on the city wall in front of them had been shot dead by crossbows, so no one operated the catapults, and they would not pose a threat to them.
As the Han army began to climb the city walls, the commander of the Huns could not help but give a desperate order, and countless Hun soldiers were forced to rush up the city walls in an attempt to stop the advance of the Han army.
Zhebie seemed to have seen the most ridiculous thing in the world, and his handsome face with exotic features slightly twitched, revealing a hint of disdainful smile. He drew his bow again and shot arrows at the newly appeared Kaisa people, who immediately tasted the same bitter experience as their predecessors. However, this time Zhebie did not directly kill them, but instead shot through their hands and feet, pinning them firmly to the ground and walls. The Kaisa people who were wounded by the arrows suffered immense pain due to being nailed to the wall, and they could not bear it anymore, letting out pig-like screams. For a moment, the city wall was filled with wailing and howling, making quite a commotion. However, this effect was very obvious: the Kaisa people no longer heeded their officers urging and refused to charge forward, allowing the first team of three thousand soldiers to successfully climb onto the city head.
At this time, the front gate of Linan City suddenly opened wide, and pairs of heavily armored knights in shining armor rushed out. Their target was Zhebie on the cart. Only by getting rid of this super threat could Linan City possibly hold on.
"Its terrible, its a heavy cavalry, the fifth column is all light infantry, how can we resist?" Emperor Han Xians face changed and he exclaimed.
The heavy cavalry is a unique type of soldier in the Caesars army, all cavalrymen and horses are equipped with heavy armor, holding long spears and sabers. Their impact force is incredibly strong, and they are not afraid of ordinary swords. In the first battle, the unprepared Han army suffered heavy losses, leaving a deep impression on everyone. There is no unit in the Han army that can directly confront this type of soldier, even the Red Ocean, which shook the northern border, cannot withstand them. When encountering them, they can only avoid their sharp edges and adopt a detour tactic.
Fortunately, their armor was too heavy to sustain a prolonged battle, and the requirements for knights and warhorses were also very harsh. Among the 150,000 people in the city, there were only about 5,000 heavy cavalrymen. After several clashes, they had already been reduced to 3,000 men and did not dare to use them easily. But at this moment, it was a crucial juncture of life and death, and Caesars men could not help but use their ultimate weapon ahead of time.
Once the heavy cavalry charged, their momentum was overwhelming and unstoppable. They advanced bravely, tearing apart everything that stood in their way. Michel, a chiliarch of the heavy cavalry, was exceptionally brave, always charging at the front, and today was no exception. He loved seeing the enemy troops fleeing in disarray during each charge, but now he faced a thousand-man unit that should have been panicked and fleeing, yet he saw no signs of disturbance.
It cant be that hes scared silly, can it? That towering fellow is standing there in a daze, grinning foolishly at who-knows-what, with two enormous bronze lions behind him - are these the obstacles hes set up? These Han people really underestimate our horsemanship. Let me teach them a lesson. Just as he thought this, he suddenly saw an unbelievable sight.
The heavily armed cavalry charged forward in a straight line, and the first to bear the brunt was Qin Yongs unit, stationed 500 meters in front of the city gate under Xu Haifengs command. As he gazed at the oncoming steel torrent, he smiled with joy, his hands reaching back to simultaneously grab the necks of two bronze lions, lifting them up. At this moment, the leading heavily armed cavalry had already charged to his face, and all that could be seen was him swinging his right hand forward, sending Michal and his horse flying into mid-air like a paper cutout.
"Am I dreaming? But why does it hurt so much?" Michelle couldnt believe what she was seeing even as her life slipped away.
Qin Yong wielded two bronze lions, leading the troops forward in a charge. His two weapons were truly terrifying, causing injuries and broken bones wherever they struck. If heavy cavalry was an impenetrable steel nail, then he was an indestructible iron hammer. He charged forward, meeting the enemys main force head-on, using brute force to overwhelm them. The initial thousand-strong iron cavalry was defeated by him, scattering in all directions, unable to regroup.
The horn sounded, and the subsequent cavalry reined in their horses and turned around, going around both sides. The heavy cavalry that had always been charging forward was forced to choose to retreat and avoid in front of the even more powerful Qin Yong.
"The bravery of a king, is truly the bravery of a king." Emperor Han Xian was excited and only wanted to scold loudly, since he ascended to the throne, he had never been so stirred up. If not for his self-respect, he would have jumped up already, but now he was all smiles: "Who is this person again?"
"Your Majesty, this mans name is Qin Yong, he is the first brave general under Xu Haifengs command." Gu Dao Lian hastily stepped forward to explain.
He glanced at Gu Dao Yan and Emperor Han Xian thought it was strange that he remembered so clearly, while others were completely clueless.
The heavily armored cavalry bypassed Qin Yongs troops, their target was the Zhebie on the pushcart platform. At this moment, only a thousand slave soldiers wearing linen clothes and holding inferior steel knives surrounded the pushcart in front of them. Although there were still three thousand red ocean gun riders behind them, everyone knew that light cavalry could not compete with heavy cavalry head-on, even if these four thousand people added up, they would not be able to stop the iron hooves of those two thousand heavily armored cavalrymen.
However, facing the increasingly close heavy cavalry, the Red Gun Riders not only did not move forward to guard, but also retreated dozens of meters under the command of the direction. This left only a thousand slave soldiers.
At last, the first wave of heavy cavalrys attack was officially launched. The cavalrymen held their long spears at an angle, aiming at the enemy in front of them, wanting to pierce them one by one. At this moment, more than a dozen slave soldiers suddenly ducked down and rolled towards the direction where the cavalrymen were charging. What a stupid move it was! Rushing into the iron hooves of galloping horses, wouldnt they be trampled into minced meat immediately?
However, an astonishing scene unfolded again. When the horses hooves stepped on their bodies, they did not dodge or cover their wounds, but instead opened their arms and tightly hugged the horses legs. The galloping horses were suddenly grasped by the legs, one by one, and fell to the ground, while the riders on the horses flew forward fiercely. The second row of slave soldiers had been waiting for a long time, holding steel knives, and stabbed them into the necks of the dizzy and confused riders who had fallen.
Although the heavy cavalry was said to be fully armored, there were some places that could not be armored, such as the neck. In order not to affect the rotation of the head, they lengthened the lower edge of the helmet to cover the strong neck. Once they fell off, the heavy armor on their bodies became a burden, and they couldnt stop the slaughter of the slave soldiers because of their clumsy movements. Although the cavalry maintained a certain distance during the charge, the sudden change was unexpected, and the second wave of cavalry did not have time to pull back, and still crashed into them heavily.
The first row of slave soldiers who completed the task stood up nonchalantly, their demeanor was nonchalant, but their bodies had already suffered extremely severe injuries. Some peoples arms hung down, apparently trampled by horses and broken, some people swayed when standing up, that was because their legs were not agile, and even more so, some peoples bellies were opened with a big hole, intestines and internal organs faintly visible. They didnt care about the wounds on their bodies at all, immediately charging towards the next batch of enemies.
They were so fearless of death that the Caesarian cavalry almost went mad. These noble knights had always been invincible in their previous battles, and even when facing several times more enemies, they could still charge through them. But today, they first encountered a brutal and ferocious Qin Yong, and then met a thousand lunatics. This group of lunatics simply did not care about life or death, whether it was the enemys or their own. In their blood, killing had become an instinct, the only driving force that kept them alive.
