"You want to use cavalry to charge at my heavy armored infantry?! If it was a fully formed heavy armored cavalry, they might be able to tear apart my battle. However, with just a few hundred cavalry, my King Of Shu, you are really panicking! " Zhou Cheng dispelled all the misgivings in his heart. Originally, he thought that there was an ambush. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be defeated so quickly. The two armies had not even clashed yet. Now, it seemed that he was overthinking. This King Of Shu was really a piece of trash. Such an army could actually be defeated to such an extent. Zhou Cheng had seen the discarded giant shields and armors on the ground. Zhou Cheng did not know what they were made of, but they were actually twice as heavy as the heavy armor worn by his heavy armored infantry.
Both were heavy armor with similar defensive power, but the weight was twice as heavy. What kind of concept was this? The heavy armor worn by the Zhou Family's Black Flag Army weighed around 80 jin. Adding on the weapons and other miscellaneous items, it would be more than 100 jin. Such a heavy armor would be a heavy burden on the body.
The Zhou Clan had secretly selected five thousand children to be nurtured from a young age. However, they had only selected a mere three thousand. The remaining three thousand were those who were strong and muscular. They were all over eight feet tall, which was why they were able to wear the heavy armor.
What did this mean? This meant that he could have more heavy armored infantry. As long as he recruited healthy people, he would be able to form an army. If he could capture His Highness the King Of Shu and force him to hand over the manufacturing method of these heavy armor, then his Zhou Family's heavy armored infantry would not be able to be stopped!
Thinking about the weight of ordinary soldiers' armor and the combat power of heavy armored infantry, Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up.
"Killing my comrades and invading my city. Let's settle this account now!" Chengyu received Liu Mang's order and turned his warhorse around to face the pursuing Black Flag Army. The cavalry soldiers followed closely behind Chengyu.
The cavalry soldiers could be regarded as the most elite troops in the City Guard. They were all the City Guard soldiers who survived the Battle of Mt. Bagong. Some of them were even Lvbu's Army soldiers who rushed out of Kaiyang City.
With 300 cavalry soldiers, Chengyu dared to charge against 5000 infantry. He believed in his brothers and the combat power of the City Guard. However, he only had 100 cavalry soldiers while facing 3000 heavy armored infantry. Chengyu took a deep breath and pointed his spear towards the sky.
"City Guard, we live and die together. Kill!" He roared and rushed out for the first time.
"We live and die together!" The most impressive thing in the City Guard was the veterans. Liu Mang did not touch the delicious food and shared it with the soldiers. Liu Mang did not take any reward from the Lord and shared it with everyone. At the foot of Mt. Bagong, in order to block the siege of the 2000 Yu Province Cavalry and Chen Lan and Lei Bo, Liu Mang personally led a counterattack. In the end, the cavalry soldiers were completely annihilated. Liu Mang himself almost did not make it back.
With such a general and such a group of brothers, if he did not risk his life, then he would be sorry for his armor and the beating heart in his chest.
"Overestimating yourself, you are like an ant trying to shake a tree!" Zhou Cheng did not care about these hundreds of cavalrymen at all. The appearance of the heavy infantry was to make up for the lack of cavalrymen in the south. It could be said that they were specifically designed to deal with cavalrymen. If ordinary light cavalrymen saw these black heavy infantry, they would definitely not dare to face them head on. If they dared to come, they would definitely be devoured by these black behemoths. If the heavy cavalry was organized, they would be a fatal threat.
Zhou Cheng's eyes were not on these cavalry soldiers, but on the City Guard who were still running away. With the cavalry blocking them, the City Guard ran faster.
"Don't let them run away!" What Zhou Cheng wanted was not the dozens of armor nor the hundred cavalry. What he wanted was Liu Mang's head. What he wanted was Liu Mang's head. What he wanted was the technology of manufacturing heavy armor and the entire Wancheng city.
"Change formation!" Chengyu ordered. The entire cavalry battalion quickly integrated, so that the entire cavalry battalion gathered together to form a large cone shape. Only when the cavalry was in a large scale formation could they bring the most damage to the enemy. One or two cavalry soldiers could only be used as scouts.
"Charge!" In Chengyu's hands, hundreds of cavalry soldiers were able to display the power of thousands of cavalry soldiers. This was taught by Zhang Liao. Cavalry troops can either give the enemy a fatal blow or shake the enemy's soul. As long as the enemy is afraid, then you have won half the battle.
Therefore, Zhang Liao's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would scatter during the charge. Originally, there were thousands of cavalry soldiers occupying the area, but now there were tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers. The dust on the ground and the feeling of trembling was the most frightening.
When the enemy was about to meet them, they quickly gathered together and like a sharp sword piercing the enemy's chest.
The City Guard ran farther and farther. Zhou Cheng was anxious: "Since they are courting death, then kill them for me! Charge! Charge! "The three thousand heavy armored infantry also sped up, and a black flood collided with the wave of cavalry.
"Peng, Peng, Peng!" This was a clash of iron against iron. There was no technique involved, only pure strength. The heavy infantry relied on their numbers, and the heavy armor on their bodies gave them an absolute defense.
On the other hand, Chengyu's cavalry battalion relied on the horses. The short charge allowed the cavalry battalion to increase their speed to a certain degree. Their momentum was actually comparable to the 3,000 heavy armored soldiers.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The heavy armor of the infantry soldiers was difficult to break, but under the momentum of the horses, a group of them were knocked over. Some of the soldiers at the front were even knocked into the air and fell into the crowd.
Although the defense of heavy armor was astonishing and could block most of the attacks from sharp weapons, they were most afraid of blunt weapons. The impact of the warhorses didn't injure them externally, but internally.
Although the heavy armored soldiers didn't seem to be injured on the surface, their internal organs were churning. The better ones had blood flowing out of the corners of their mouths. The unluckier ones directly vomited blood. The unluckier ones directly rolled their eyes and died from the impact.
The cavalry battalion didn't fare any better. The warhorses crashed into the crowd and their speed immediately decreased. Swords and sabers couldn't hurt the heavy armored soldiers at all. The cavalry battalion also wore heavy armor and weren't afraid of ordinary swords and sabers. However, the warhorses of the cavalry battalion couldn't. One after another, sharp swords pierced the warhorses. For cavalry, the warhorses were their second life. The injuries of their "comrades" made them feel like their hearts were being cut by knives. Some of the cavalry battalion soldiers even fell from their warhorses and drowned in the black sea.
"Retreat to the formation!" Chengyu knew that his mission was completed. He pulled the horse's head and used the shield to block the attack. The cavalry once again moved and circled around the Black Flag army's flank.
Less than 80 of the cavalry soldiers were left. More than 20 of their brothers had died in this charge.
"Damn it!" Zhou Cheng looked angrily at the cavalry that left. They were heavy armored soldiers with defense and attack, but they didn't have mobility. They couldn't catch up at all. Although they left behind dozens of enemies, they also suffered heavy injuries. The impact of more than 100 warhorses injured those who were hit. Those who were unlucky died. In an instant, more than 100 casualties were lost.
"Leave them behind and chase after them!" Zhou Cheng put down the seriously injured Black Flag army. In Zhou Cheng's army, there were only superiors and subordinates. There were only tools and users. These Black Flag army were his servants. They were the capital of the Zhou Family's promotion.
The dead and injured naturally had no value.
The 100 people who were the vanguard were abandoned. There were no soldiers left to help them.
"You can't escape!" Zhou Cheng said coldly. These Black Flag army's physical fitness was really high. They were the accumulation of the Zhou Family for several generations. They were much better than those who joined the army from poor families. At least these Black Flag army could eat their fill from a young age. Those who joined the army halfway, such as Chengyu in the City Guard, joined the army for only a few years. They were just ordinary peasants. However, these Black Flag army were cultivated from a young age. It had been more than 10 years.
Soldiers who had been cultivated for more than 10 years were naturally much better than those who joined the army halfway.
Perhaps it was Liu Mang's intention, or perhaps the Black Flag army's physical fitness was too good. The Black Flag army that was delayed by the cavalry battalion once again caught up with Liu Mang's City Guard.
In front of them was the East Gate. However, the East Gate was currently closed. This was done by Liu Mang to prevent the aristocratic families' private soldiers from escaping or the aristocratic families from escaping.
Now it seems that they have become an obstacle for Liu Mang's City Guard.
"Keep running! Keep running! I want to see where you can run to now! " Zhou Cheng smiled happily. Now, His Highness Prince of Shu has really become a turtle in a jar. This huge merit can be easily obtained. Wancheng city! The son-in-law of the Lvbu's Army and the manufacturing method of the heavy armor.
Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up. Although Zhou Yu was his uncle, Zhou Cheng had always been unconvinced. If he could have such a contribution, then he would be able to compete with his uncle for supremacy.
"Run?!" Liu Mang also came out from the City Guard. "Since we can't escape, then we won't escape!" Liu Mang laughed. "Since you chased him so happily, it's our turn now!" The City Guard quickly formed a formation.
"Just a final struggle!" In Zhou Cheng's eyes, these mobs had lost their armor and flags. What could he use to fight? It was just a final struggle!
Liu Mang and Zhou Cheng raised their arms at the same time. They wanted to give their opponents a final blow.
