Chapter 458 The Border Army’s Combat Power

The Xifan army chased out of Kaiyang City and ran for five or six miles, and faced with a Zhou army of about 20,000 people.

This Zhou army was the 20,000 border troops led by Chen Fang and Liang Ping.

Seeing that the Zhou army was crowded with power and the Xifan army had no leader, he planned to withdraw back to Kaiyang City.

However, when the back team of the Xifan Army changed to the front team and was about to retreat, a horse team emerged from the Zhou army.

This cavalry, with about 5,000 people, was chasing the Xifan army.

Liang Ping personally led this cavalry.

Liang Ping was originally in the center of the cavalry.

Liang Ping did not know much about the combat power of the border army, and there were many barbarians in the border army. In Liang Ping's impression, the barbarians of Xiaoyang Kingdom were just a group of uncivilized savages. What kind of battle would they fight?

Li Yu's arrangement of these barbarians into the border army was simply a mess.

It was precisely because of his distrust of the border army that Liang Ping, who had always been the leader in the army, did not rush to the front to take the lead.

However, when the border army came into contact with the Xifan army, Liang Ping was immediately startled by the combat power of the border army.

The cavalry charge formation hit the infantry phalanx head-on, and a cavalry spear poked out its horse's head and stabbed the Xifan army opposite.

The Xifan Army held shields to block, but it was useless at all. The cavalry was too fast and the impact was too strong.

The wooden shield was either broken immediately or penetrated directly under the spear.

The Xifan Army was not spared, and their bodies were penetrated by a gun.

For a moment, the sound of the spear penetrated the body was connected.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry will use a spear to penetrate the enemy's body and it will not have time to pull it out again. They will abandon the spear, draw out the battle knife, and kill the enemy.

This is not the case with the cavalry of the border army.

The barbarians may not have the same mind as the Zhou people, but their physique is definitely much better than the Zhou people.

With their brute force, they picked up the enemy troops strung on the spears.

Then he waved his arms outward, threw the enemy out, and smashed it into the enemy camp.

Bang bang bang—

In an instant, the sound of collisions formed, and the enemy formation behind was smashed into chaos by the corpses of his own comrades flying over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry continued to advance, and the sharp edge of the spear continued to pierce into the bodies of the soldiers of the Xifan army and the iron hooves of the war horses. They either kicked the Xifan army in front or trampled past them.

It is obviously a light cavalry, but it has the effect of heavy cavalry.

Five thousand cavalry, against five thousand infantry, completely crushed the past like bulldozers.

Liang Ping, who was among the cavalry, was shocked to see this scene.

He never thought that the border troops were so good at fighting, and he never thought that those savages from Xiaoyang Kingdom who had not yet been civilized were so proficient in the cavalry tactics of Zhou Kingdom. They were even more well-trained and brave and good at fighting than the cavalry of Zhou Kingdom.

The bravery of the border soldiers greatly inspired Liang Ping's fighting spirit.

The passionate blood that followed Li Hui to conquer the world gushed out again.

He roared, no longer hid behind him, rushed out of the cavalry team with a quick horse and took the lead in charging towards the Xifan army.

Liang Pi's martial arts skills are good, but compared with his father Liang Ping, it is still a bit worse.

Liang Ping held a silence knife in his hand and waved it out immediately. The surrounding Xifan troops fell to the ground in groups like grass.

Liang Pi, who had already met with Chen Fang, saw his father on the battlefield for the first time.

From a distance, he saw his father holding a long sword and breaking into the crowd of the Xifan Army, rushing left and right, as if he was entering a no-man state, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Li Yu, standing side by side with Liang Pi, sincerely sighed: "Duke Xunguo is truly a famous general of the Zhou Dynasty, and he is still stronger!"

Who can believe that this powerful general who was like a tiger descending a mountain on the battlefield is nearly fifty years old.

People believe that he is a young man in his twenties or thirty years old.

Liang Pi looked at his father's figure conquering the battlefield, his eyes were full of admiration, and he said seriously: "As sooner or later, I will be like my father!"

Li Yu nodded heavily and said, "The tiger father has no dog son!"

Although Liang Pi took up all his wine, sex, money and energy, he could indeed see Liang Ping's shadow when he went to the battlefield.

The children of the Liang family all have the energy to be desperate when fighting, but no one else can do it.

Five thousand border cavalry attacked five thousand Xifan infantry and passed through the formation.

The cavalry rushed out of the Xifan Army's formation from the front of the Xifan Army.

With just this round of cavalry charges, most of the five thousand Xifan troops were lost, and the camp was in chaos.

How could Chen Fang miss such an opportunity?

He waved his arm forward and shouted loudly, "Attack!"

Under Shen Fang's order, the 15,000 infantry of the border army began to advance.

While the border infantry advanced, almost all the soldiers of the army picked up crossbows, and people rushed out crossbows while advancing.

The arrow formation of 15,000 consecutive crossbows was overwhelming and overwhelming.

There was no contact between the two armies, and the remaining defeated generals of the Xifan Army fell under the crossbow arrows.

Liang Ping turned his horse's head, looked back, and was stunned again.

In just a moment, the battlefield seemed to have grown a layer of black grass, and the living and dead were covered with dense crossbow arrows.

Round after round of crossbow arrows shot volleys, and there seemed to be no gap in between. The dark clouds formed on one side rose from the border camp and continued to hit the Xifan army opposite.

When 15,000 border troops advanced to the Xifan Army camp, there was no one who could still stand in front of them, and the ground was covered with crossbows.

Is this the border army under the command of the King of Wu?

Such combat power is not as good as the capital army!

A weapon as advanced and powerful as a crossbow is not even equipped with a capital army!

After a battle, Liang Ping had a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the border army.

This is not a local army, it is even more elite than the capital army.

Those barbarians who were originally looked down upon by themselves have a well-trained and powerful combat power on the surface of the battlefield, which is really ashamed.

When Liang Ping brought a team of cavalry back to his camp and saw Li Yu, Shen Fang and others, his eyes became different from before.

He floated off his horse, inserted the Yanyue sword into the ground, walked towards Li Yu with great strides, intervened and bowed, and said, "The border army is Shenwu, I have offended you before, so I would like to forgive me!"

Liang Ping is a typical professional soldier.

As a soldier, he also has the tradition and style of a soldier, that is, he only subdues the strong.

He witnessed the combat effectiveness of the border army with his own eyes and was indeed admired. At least he believed that he would not be able to train such a tough army.

Li Yuhan smiled and said, "The Duke of Xunguo is so generous! Today I have the style of seeing Duke of Xunguo go to battle and kill the enemy, which is even better than that of the past!"

Liang Ping shook his head in shame and sighed: "Your Highness's praise makes me ashamed! A hero will not mention his courage back then!"
