Lord Moyu was forced to open

On the court's side.

Seeing that more than a thousand people on the opposite side dared to come out to confront them, many cavalrymen could not understand their thoughts.

A cavalry general took two steps forward on his horse and asked Huo Qubing:

"Master Hou, do you think the Lu family has any conspiracy?

How dare they come out to oppose us when there are only over a thousand of them? "

Huo Qubing shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense. They just want to make a last stand. We have been surrounding this place for a month and a half now. If they don't give it a try, they will have no chance."

"What's the difference between this and sending yourself to death?"

The general shook his head speechlessly, his face full of confusion.

Huo Qubing said with a smile: "You don't care whether people want to die or not? Since they dare to come, let them see how big the gap is between them and us!"

Hearing this, the general also had a smile on his face, nodded heavily, patted his chest and promised with a clanking sound of armor:

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we will definitely entertain them well. Lord Marquis, let our army face them this time!"

Huo Qubing glanced at him and then said: "You have an army of 2500 people and only 1500 people are facing you. Are you embarrassed?"

The general suddenly looked embarrassed, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, we won't need our entire army to fight such rubbish. Just send two battalions."

"Two battalions?"

Huo Qubing thought for a while. There were only a thousand people in the two battalions. Against the opponent's 1,500 people, it was a sure win!

The people on the opposite side are all infantry, but here are cavalry!

Besides, with their equipment advantage, not to mention one thousand against one thousand and five, even one thousand against five thousand is fine.

Huo Qubing immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay! This time I'll leave it to your Second Army.

You should also understand what to do. "

"No! I understand!"

A smile suddenly appeared on the general's face, he respectfully agreed, and then returned to the army to mobilize his troops.

At this time, on the opposite side, Lu Zhengwu, who was leading the troops of the Lu family, looked at the thousands of imperial troops opposite, all of them cavalry. He, who had always been reckless, inevitably fell silent.

Whether he beats the cavalry with his feet, or beats the many with less, it is no different to committing suicide for him.

But if he was allowed to stay in the valley and wait until he was completely unable to fight back and let others slaughter him, he would be even more unwilling.

Even before he died, he would bite off a piece of the other person's flesh, and let them know that not all sons of the Lu family were cowards.

Just surrender? I would rather die!

Dying on the battlefield is a well-deserved death for me!

With this mentality, Lu Zhengwu began to arrange the formation.

There are cavalry on the opposite side, and you must restrict the opponent's movements.

However, it is undoubtedly impossible to ride on foot. The best way is to defend the position first, wait until the enemy comes in, block the impact, and finally engage in a melee with them, using superb combat skills to defeat the cavalry. Pull down the horse.

It would be even better to find an opportunity to retreat to the valley after the fight and lure them in.

But for the latter, Lu Zhengwu never thought about whether it could be realized.

Because this is bound to be impossible to achieve. If the other party were not afraid of the narrow terrain of the valley, they would not have blocked them here and surrounded them for two months. Since they knew that the canyon was dangerous, how could the other party do it? What about being lured in by them?

So now there is only one choice before Lu Zhengwu, and that is to have a head-on confrontation with the opponent!

Whether it was life or death, he had already put it behind him. Thinking of this, Lu Zhengwu no longer hesitated. Seeing signs of troop movements on the opposite side, he immediately gave an order and his men immediately formed a defensive formation.

Rows of rattan armor shields were erected in front of the army as the first line of defense.

As for why it is a rattan shield instead of an iron shield, it is not that the Lu family does not want to switch to an iron shield. In fact, in the past two years, under the salt and iron monopoly of the court, the amount of iron that can be collected is pitifully small, and it can be said that it can be made into weapons. It's very reluctant, let alone a big iron consumer like making iron shields.

For the Lu family, who lives in the valley, such a large amount of iron is simply unavailable.

Even if you have money, you can't buy it.

Then came the spearmen, hiding behind the iron shield, waiting for the cavalry to rush forward. When the iron shield blocked the cavalry's charge, they would attack and knock off the cavalry who rushed over one by one.

Then there are some conventional weapons such as swords, shields, hands, and even archers. The Lu family has more than 100 people.

It's just that as elites, they are placed at the back of the formation.

When Lu Zhengwu arranged his troops and looked at the other side, his head was suddenly filled with smoke!

Out of the thousands of troops on the opposite side, only about a thousand people walked out, came to the front of the formation, and got into a charging posture!

Does the other party only intend to use a thousand people to eliminate them?

This is too insulting!

Zhao Wenliang pointed his whip at the opposite side and shouted to the brothers behind him: "Brothers! The Lu family's garbage army is opposite!

It was they who made us unable to return home after staying in this poor grassland for more than a month!

Now that the Marquis has given us the main offensive task, we have to show these rubbish what an army is!

army! It is not something that a rubbish family like theirs can cultivate casually. They are just thugs at best, and for us to beat thugs is as easy as crushing ants to death! "

"Hoohoho!!!"

Zhao Wenliang's words immediately mobilized the morale of the army behind him, and they roared in response.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wenliang smiled evilly and whipped the horse hard with the whip. The horse neighed and raised its front hooves high. He pulled the reins tightly, hung the whip around his waist and took off the horse's side. Longshang pointed forward fiercely!

"For the honor of His Majesty! The Second Cavalry Corps, kill!"

After finishing speaking, the war horse rushed forward!

Behind him, a group of soldiers also raised their weapons and roared: "For the glory of your Majesty!"

Then he rushed out!

A whole thousand cavalry launched a mighty attack!

Although he was angry that the opponent looked down on him, Lu Wenwu also knew that the opponent's combat effectiveness was definitely not weak, and they were still cavalry. Seeing that they launched an attack, Lu Wenwu immediately put the army on defense.

After Zhao Wenliang on the opposite side launched an attack, the entire cavalry formation immediately formed a front line. Looking at the defensive formation on the opposite side, Zhao Wenliang knew that it would be impossible to consume a wave of long-range weapons, but this was not important.

He immediately ordered some of the cavalry to take down another weapon of their cavalry, the meteor hammer!

A large iron ball covered with spikes connected by an iron chain.

This thing is a good thing for breaking shields.

Although each iron ball is only half the size of a head, it would be strange if those vine armor shields did not break after being thrown out!

Even the impact of the iron shield is enough to seriously injure the person holding the shield!

"Charge your strength!"

As Zhao Wenliang shouted loudly, the cavalrymen who took out the meteor hammers rode with one hand and swung the meteor hammer in their hands with the other hand, swinging it in a circle beside them, and the speed became faster and faster!

When they rushed 40 steps in front of the enemy's formation, Zhao Wenliang looked at the distance and immediately shouted:

"Dump!"

next moment! Hundreds of meteor hammers suddenly came out of their hands, and like meteorites falling from the sky, they hit the vine armor soldiers in the front row of the Lu family soldiers opposite!
