Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

"Infantry, disperse."

"Cavalry, listen to my command! Everyone, follow my lead and charge with me!"

"Break them down."

"Lu Bu said loudly."

If it were other troops, they would not act until they had seen the enemy's true strength.

Zhang Liao's response was naturally the best.

But now that we know Zhou Heng's true nature...

Lu Bu would naturally not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate Zhou Heng's troops.

He simply abandoned resistance and led his cavalry in a charge.

He refused to believe it. With only five thousand cavalrymen under his command, how could Zhou Heng possibly resist?

"promise."

Eight thousand people said in unison.

The words fell.

Immediately, the shield bearers dispersed, and five thousand cavalry charged out.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder.

Five thousand ferocious cavalry charged in—what a breathtaking scene!

The words struck Liao Hua's heart, making him feel a chill run down his spine.

Not to mention some other people.

After all, the difference between cavalry and infantry was like heaven and earth in this era.

It is an insurmountable chasm.

Moreover, the opposing force was the renowned Bingzhou cavalry.

The leading general was none other than Lü Bu, the Flying General, who was known as the fiercest warrior in the land.

If I saw this scene under normal circumstances...

They left without looking back.

However, now that the die is cast, there is no turning back.

Besides, he came here with a mission he was destined to lose, so what was there to be afraid of?

Upon realizing this, Liao Hua gritted his teeth.

Without dodging or flinching, he led his ten thousand men straight into the fray.

"boom."

However, what Liao Hua didn't expect was...

He originally thought that he would not be a match for Lu Bu's cavalry.

But I think it can still last for two or three rounds.

Then, feign defeat and retreat, perfectly completing the mission.

result.........

After one round of attacks.

It instantly shattered all his inner confidence.

There were no tactics, let alone any marching or troop deployment.

It was a complete crushing defeat due to superior equipment.

Because, under the charge of the enemy's iron cavalry.

Just a meeting.

The army, which had been charging down with great fanfare, was suddenly routed and fled in disarray, crying for its parents.

The situation reversed instantly.

How could this not make him feel incredibly frustrated?

"My lord, my lord, this is not a feigned defeat, but a real defeat!"

Seeing the performance of his soldiers, Liao Hua couldn't help but smile wryly.

It should be noted that Zhou Heng had subdued the remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the surrounding area.

However, he entrusted most of his troops to Zhou Cang for training.

(Because of time constraints, many people were recruited gradually and temporarily incorporated into the army. The time for unified training was too short. In addition, Zhou Heng's modern military training manual was not yet completed, so it was temporarily handed over to them to lead.)

After a month.

He was confident that even if they couldn't train this rabble into an elite force.

But no matter which army in the world they fight against.

Both have the ability to fight.

result.........

"The Bingzhou army is truly formidable. Ten thousand soldiers couldn't even hold out for a moment before collapsing."

In the distance, Zhou Heng stood on a hill a kilometer away, holding binoculars, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although his power base was established too recently, Zhou Heng was unable to make any significant changes in the short term.

However, it's still possible to make some small gadgets.

And this telescope is one of the results.

Made from two pieces of natural crystal, polished.

Quite practical.

It's a kind of secret weapon.

"However, Liao Hua is not entirely useless. I thought he wouldn't even dare to charge, but I didn't expect him to hold out for a while."

"Indeed, those who leave their mark on history are no ordinary people."

Zhou Heng nodded to himself.

Cavalry defeating infantry is inherently akin to a dimensional reduction attack.

Let alone these rabble who have been training for less than a month.

Even if it were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's elite troops...

It won't last long before it collapses.

After all, cavalry is simply too much of an advantage over infantry on the battlefield.

Not to mention, Liao Hua's troops had reportedly been training for a month.

But the actual time for unified training is estimated to be no more than seven days.

Because of the bandits and outlaws they subdued in the past month.

They arrived gradually, one after another.

It took at least a month from persuading them to reorganizing them into an army.

The actual time for unified training will not exceed seven days.

Liao Hua was able to achieve this in such a short time.

It gave them the courage to charge, even when facing such valiant and skilled cavalry of this era.

That's already very good.

Not to mention, many of his soldiers didn't even have weapons.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army was called an army, but to put it bluntly, it was just a group of peasants who couldn't survive.

These guys are okay when they're winning.

If you encounter a regular army or are in a losing situation, it's already quite good if you don't immediately run away.

He is already very satisfied with the results he has achieved.

This is also why Zhou Heng didn't want to fight Zhang Liao before.

Because our own people know what's going on.

Just as Zhou Heng was sighing, Lu Bu on the other side was very dissatisfied.

"That's it?"

"I was so scared by this bunch of good-for-nothings that I didn't even dare to leave the house back then?"

Seeing the way Zhou Heng's army behaved, Lü Bu became even angrier.

If you say your army's combat effectiveness is decent, he can barely accept it.

It's not that I'm too cowardly.

Rather, the enemy had too many people and were not weak in combat.

And this is all you're telling me?

Lu Bu was furious.

With such fighting strength, he was so frightened that he, who had eight thousand Bingzhou cavalry, seven thousand elite infantry, and eight hundred elite infantrymen, did not even dare to leave his house.

They could only stay inside the city.

They even lost the Mi family for no reason.

How could he possibly tolerate that?

"Damn it, kill them all!"

Lu Bu was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

Although he already knew that he had been tricked and had become a laughing stock.

But he often comforted himself in his heart.

Perhaps they really do have the strength to attack Xuzhou?

It's understandable that you want to play it safe.

So now... what excuse can I use to deceive myself?

Lu Bu's chest heaved violently.

He wielded the halberd with great skill and flair.

Wherever they went, almost someone would perish.

"Ah, help me! Don't kill me!"

"This is bad, the enemy is too strong, we are no match for them."

"Run! I haven't lived enough! I don't want to die!"

"I'm not playing anymore, I want to go home."

"Spare me, I surrender..."

In an instant, Liao Hua's army was thrown into chaos, with screams, wails, cries of regret, sobs, and pleas for mercy filling the air.

Countless soldiers began to scatter and flee.

"Very well, a real defeat makes it seem more authentic. Lu Bu, Lu Bu, I don't believe you can resist the urge to pursue me after this."
