The Northern Barbarian cavalry controlled by the demon continued to gather, and then continued to surround the player's position.

Like dark waves, crashing towards the only remaining island.

It's just that there is still a certain amount of time before the real war breaks out.

The cavalry charge does not increase to full speed from the beginning, but will choose a just right distance to start speeding up, and achieve the strongest impact during the battle.

Cherishing horse power is a required course for every cavalryman.

Of course, both orderers and demons can ignore the physical laws of the real world to a certain extent. For example, all players and the barbarians controlled by demons will not feel hungry, do not need to eat, drink, and have no need to excrete...

But when it comes to combat, there are no limitations.

Although players have strong physical fitness, they will still feel tired after a long battle. To eliminate this fatigue, you need to use the power of the Orderer.

Similarly, the combat power of demons and the physical strength of Northern Barbarian cavalry and horses will also cause similar consumption.

Therefore, these Northern Barbarian cavalry advanced slowly and leisurely.

But this can actually create a greater sense of oppression.

Zhao Haiping was holding the horse's reins and was beside Sheng Taizu, waiting for the battle to begin.

There are more and more Northern Barbarian cavalry in the field of vision, even more than the main force of Mahali that he saw when he acted as Sheng Taizu's "commander" before.

It can also be said that even with the lives that the players can resurrect, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. What's more, the Northern Barbarians are almost all cavalry troops, while the players only have 10,000 cavalry.

Zhao Haiping looked at Sheng Taizu who was standing in front of him. At this time, there was no expression on Sheng Taizu's face. It was obvious that he had seen this kind of scene too many times and was not disturbed in his heart.

"Hunters, is the dynasty you live in a time of governance or chaos?" Sheng Taizu suddenly asked such a sentence.

Zhao Haiping was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and replied: "If we look at all the dynasties in the long history of Chinese civilization, it is of course a remarkable governance.

"Even if someone in a certain place is starving because they can't eat meat or vegetables, it can be regarded as a very rare phenomenon, and it can even be publicized as news.

"In most places, it is impossible to say that one must not pick up lost items on the road or keep one's house open at night, but things like banditry and murder are rare compared to previous dynasties.

"But... even so, there are still many areas for improvement."

A confused look finally appeared on Sheng Taizu's face, as if he was trying hard to mobilize all his imagination to imagine what kind of dynasty and what kind of scene it would be.

But obviously, he failed after all.

Because it is difficult for people to imagine things they have never seen.

What's more, he has never seen even a slightly similar scene.

"We work hard and sleep day and night, working hard and racking our brains, just so that the people under the rule of Dasheng Dynasty can have a full meal. We don't ask for meat and vegetables, but we only have a few bowls of brown rice and a few steamed buns, and we are satisfied.

No regrets in this life.

“But I didn’t expect that it would actually come true hundreds of years later.

"It's just...this is already the case, why is there still room for improvement?"

Zhao Haiping didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say: "This... can only be said that society is progressing. Today's people will always be better than the ancients, and the future will always be better than today's people. Everyone...

Keep fighting for this expectation.

"What's more, countless people throughout the ages want to eliminate people's selfishness, so that there will be no more bandits, gangsters, corrupt officials, filthy officials, local tyrants, evil gentry in this world... There will no longer be oppressed poor people... But in the end...

"The road is long and difficult."

Speaking of this, Taizu Sheng obviously felt the same way.

He snorted coldly, nodded and said: "That's right. In our opinion, to deal with these people, we should raise the butcher's knife and kill them cleanly!"

Zhao Haiping was silent for a moment: "I'm afraid I won't be able to kill him cleanly."

Taizu Sheng chuckled: "I have never tried it, so how do I know that I can't kill them all?

"What's more, even if we can't kill them all, one more batch will be enough to kill them all."

Zhao Haiping nodded silently: "Yes. This is why hundreds of years later, there are still countless people who admire Your Majesty."

While he was talking, the Northern Barbarian cavalry was approaching.

Sheng Taizu pulled the reins of the horse: "Well, young people, if we have time after this battle is over, we hope to have a good chat with you about future generations.

"Now, let's have a bloody battle with these barbarians!

"But then again..."

Taizu Sheng looked at Zhao Haiping: "Since you are the people of Qianqiu, are you sure you can withstand the military formation?"

Sheng Taizu's concerns were obviously not unreasonable.

If it were an ordinary Taiping citizen seeing a terrifying war machine like heavy armored cavalry for the first time, let alone a collision, they would be scared to death as long as they saw a large number of cavalry charging together and felt the rumble and tremors from the ground.

.

What's more, they are a group of younger generations who have probably never seen blood hundreds of years later.

Zhao Haiping smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. We are not ordinary people, but those who have returned to order.

"To be more precise, they are players. And the potential of players is beyond your imagination."

Sheng Taizu looked confused. Apparently he had never heard of the concept of "player" and only thought it was some kind of troupe, juggling or other related business.

But since you are confident, you might as well wait and see.

…

At the same time, Chu Ge was in the military formation, together with General Deng, watching the advancing Northern Barbarian army.

"You said, how many times have you fought against the Northern Barbarian army? What was the result?" General Deng asked.

Chu Ge smiled slightly: "There are winners and losers, but in general, it's a small victory."

General Deng nodded: "That's very good."

Chu Ge felt a little regretful, as the other party didn't seem to hear the modesty in his words.

But then I thought about it, the war was about to begin and I decided not to pretend to be these outdated things. What if I lost the fight?

General Deng looked in the direction of Taizu Sheng: "That is the Taizu of the dynasty..."

"Sure enough, the bearing is extraordinary. And...well, forget it."

Obviously, when he saw Sheng Taizu's appearance, he couldn't help but think of his own emperor.

Although these words are not easy to say, it is obvious that he is also wondering why the gap between people of the same bloodline can be so big.

Chu Ge very cleverly changed the subject: "General Deng, is it really feasible to use footwork to control riding?"

General Deng nodded: "It is certainly feasible, but there are many conditions.

"Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. We all know that cavalry has many advantages over infantry, but war is not just about brute force. What determines victory or defeat on the battlefield is often something outside the battlefield.

"Daily training, logistics, military morale...etc.

"Those who are naked and holding only a bamboo pole are called infantry; those who are wearing heavy armor and holding strong bows are also called infantry; those who are wrapped in sheepskin robes and ride thin horses are called cavalry; those who are fully armored are also called cavalry.

cavalry.

“Conditions are different, so it’s natural not to generalize.

"The same elite infantry, in the hands of some mediocre generals of the Qi Dynasty, could only be thrown to the ground like iron lumps and beaten, but in the hands of Taizu's famous generals, they could in turn chase the cavalry and run around... Naturally, we cannot generalize

.”

Chu Ge asked again: "Who do you think, General Deng, will win between us returners and the demons?

"The demon is also fearless of death and will never retreat. It is far more difficult to deal with than the average Northern Barbarian cavalry."

General Deng was silent for a moment: "If the monster is really as stupid as you say, this battle will be easy. If the cavalry charges the infantry array, if such a thing is really possible, of course we would be happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves from the Northern Barbarian cavalry was already approaching from far away.

The entire ground began to rumble and tremble, making people feel nervous.

The Northern Barbarian cavalry has a strength advantage, so it directly encircles them from three sides, like a big net that surrounds the entire array of players.

Perhaps these barbarian soldiers initially wanted to go around the sides and rear of the entire formation to find weak points to attack, but at this time the players formed a square array, like a square hedgehog, with holes at the corners.

Special reinforcements were carried out, so there was no special breakthrough at all.

So I had to take advantage of the situation and change my strategy, and directly surrounded them to continuously attack and test them.

Before the Northern Barbarian cavalry encircled them, Sheng Taizu had already led a kind of cavalry player to gallop forward with their horses and whips raised.

"This direction, rush!"

Sheng Taizu pointed the big spear in his hand, pointing at the weak position of the Northern Barbarian cavalry.

Although there are many Northern Barbarian cavalry, they are not all well-equipped armored cavalry. A large part of them are ordinary light cavalry.

Moreover, these light cavalry do not necessarily run very fast. Although they carry light loads, the physical fitness of the horses is also relatively weak.

The players' 10,000 cavalry are truly top-notch.

Although Meng Yuan was very picky when setting up the cavalry trial and set the threshold a little bit higher, the rewards after passing the level are naturally very generous.

Zhao Haiping and Fan Cun, two top martial arts players, followed immediately.
