Chapter 274 Cavalry Charge!
Li Chengqian stood on a high ground and said: “My fellow countrymen, we are Han Chinese, and we can no longer endure the oppression of the Bannermen.
Today, we must rise up and take back our dignity and freedom.
Let us fight together so that our wives and children can live with dignity in the future!"
So that my wife and children can live with dignity in the future...
These words instantly touched the hearts of the young and strong Han people.
They originally had a timid expression, but looking at their wives and children who were terrified behind them, the so-called son was probably a bannerman's son...
Their eyes changed!
When they didn't have the chance before, they could still find the excuse that the Bannermen were too strong and they couldn't defeat them.
But now such a group of people have appeared. If you are still timid and cowardly at this time, you might as well castrate yourself and become a eunuch!
Li Chengqian's words inspired the morale of the Han people, and the eyes of the young and strong Han people were red.
They stood up and shouted: "Kill all the bannermen, kill all the bannermen..."
Many Han people joined the resistance, determined to overthrow the rule of the Bannermen together with the Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry.
There was a bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes, as if they were swearing an oath to the future.
Inside the manor, everyone acted quickly to collect the bannermen's weapons.
These weapons come in many varieties, including spears, swords, bows and arrows, and even maces!
Soon, the weapons were sorted out one by one and distributed to more than 300 young and strong Han people.
Hou Junji stood in front of these young men with a serious face and began to give these novices preliminary training.
Although these Han people were often abused, those who survived were all tall and strong, except for being a little thin, and were all consumable materials for serving in the army.
As long as the nutrition is up to par, Hou Junji believes that this will be a brave army.
These more than 300 young and strong Han people had excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
They held their weapons tightly in their hands, as if holding hope.
In front of them, ten Tang Dynasty soldiers stood upright. They would follow Hou Junji and march northward together with these young and strong men.
Li Chengqian was well aware of the urgency of time. He was afraid that if time went on, the anger in the hearts of these young Han people would fade away.
They had just experienced days of oppression, and the fire of anger and resistance was burning in their hearts.
Only by taking advantage of this momentum can they exert their greatest strength.
As for the elderly, the weak, women and children left in the manor, Li Chengqian was not worried.
Because Shengjing City will soon be conquered by the Tang Dynasty soldiers. By then, all those who may threaten the elderly, the weak, women and children will be killed, and the fate of these people will take a turn for the better.
Not long after Hou Junji led more than 300 young and strong men to the north, reinforcements from Shengjing appeared.
A cavalry force of a thousand men came galloping like a whirlwind.
In this team, only one hundred cavalrymen were wearing half armor, which was their confidence.
Since its rise, the Qing Dynasty has always won victory with fewer troops.
They believed in their own strength and thought that these thousand people were enough to defeat the enemy.
Moreover, there are indeed not many troops in Shengjing City. These thousand people are already half of the troops in the city.
The Bannermen cavalrymen were all majestic. They rode tall horses, and their eyes revealed pride and confidence.
Although their equipment is varied, each weapon is carefully selected by them and is easy to use.
Some of their armor is leather armor, and some is chain mail. Although it is not as strong as the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty, it can also provide a certain degree of protection in battle.
Their weapons include spears, swords, bows and arrows, etc., and they use each weapon to perfection.
The war horses of the Bannermen cavalry were also carefully selected and trained.
These war horses are tall and strong, and run very fast.
In battle, they can cooperate well with their masters and play a huge role.
The Bannermen cavalrymen were excellent riders. They could perform various difficult movements on horseback, such as leaning over to shoot arrows, swinging their swords sideways, etc., while making strange noises, demonstrating their military power.
Li Chengqian, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others watched the Bannerman cavalry from afar, and couldn't help but have a certain evaluation of their strength in their hearts.
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "This bannerman cavalry is indeed admirable. Although their weapons are varied, they can choose according to their own preferences and specialties and use them with ease.
Moreover, their bows and arrows were very powerful. In the era of cold weapons, this was indeed a powerful army.”
Li Jing also agreed and said: "Your Majesty is right, the fighting power of the Bannerman cavalry should not be underestimated.
Their riding and fighting skills are excellent, and they can pose a great threat to the enemy on the battlefield.
However, compared to our Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry, they are still slightly inferior."
Li Chengqian stared at the banner cavalry without expressing any opinion.
As the two sides gradually got closer, a tense atmosphere filled the air.
Li Jing looked stern, his eyes fixed on the banner cavalry in front of him. He waved his hand and gave a decisive order: "All Tang soldiers, charge! No bows and arrows are allowed. We must defeat the banner cavalry head-on!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "Only in this way can we demonstrate the power of our Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian also clenched his fists, his eyes full of anticipation.
With an order, the Tang Dynasty soldiers launched a charge like a surging tide.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder, and the earth was shaking slightly.
They rode tall and strong war horses, wore sophisticated armor, held sharp weapons, and rushed towards the enemy with great momentum.
The soldiers rushing in the front had firm faces and their eyes were full of fearlessness and determination.
They shouted passionate slogans, and the sound seemed to penetrate the sky and shake everyone's heart.
Their war horses galloped, raising clouds of dust, like an unstoppable torrent of steel.
The soldiers behind followed closely, their formation was neat and uniform, and their actions were consistent.
Their weapons flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if declaring their strength to the enemy.
They have only one belief in their hearts, to fight for the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Li Jing still stayed in the rear to observe the combat effectiveness of the Banner cavalry.
Li Jing said: "Although these banner cavalry have their merits, they are still far behind our Tang soldiers.
Today, let them see the true strength of our Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry."
At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong could no longer suppress their desire to fight.
Cheng Yaojin urged his warhorse to take the lead, brandishing his axe and roaring, "Brothers, follow me and kill! Let these bannermen see how powerful our Tang Dynasty is!"
Yuchi Gong also raised his steel whip and roared loudly: "Charge! For the glory of the Tang Dynasty!"
