"We, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, also grew up as a nation on horseback, and conquered the world on horseback. The first thing our children do after they learn to walk is to learn to ride a horse. The folk customs are sturdy and the soldiers are brave."
"This 300,000-strong army is the elite of our Jin Kingdom, including 60,000 infantry and 200,000 cavalry. The cavalry is divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry. The force configuration is based on the standard of three light cavalry and one heavy cavalry.
The lances, armor, and swords in the cavalry's hands are all carefully crafted by the skilled craftsmen of our Kingdom of Jin."
Following Huang Jitian's introduction, Li Chen saw a cavalry team standing on both sides of the road, fully armed, even their heads were wrapped in helmets, with only their nostrils and eyes exposed.
According to Huang Jitian, what Li Chen saw in front of him should belong to heavy cavalry in the Jin Kingdom.
Each of them held a lance with a standard length of 1.6 feet in their hands, and rode on their horses with piercing gazes.
Those who can be selected as soldiers of honor to greet Li Chen naturally have every one, including the war horses they ride, carefully selected.
These cavalrymen are about the same height, and all of them are tall and strong. Even the horses are about the same size. They stand side by side in two rows on both sides. At a glance, they look very tough.
"Pretty good." Li Chen nodded and said sincerely.
Although there are no gorgeous words to make the world go crazy, every word coming from Li Chen's mouth is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Huang Jitian smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Highness, please come up with me."
After hearing this, Li Chen followed Huang Jitian up the hillside, and then his vision suddenly widened.
Under the hillside, heavy snow was still flying, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver. But even so, it still could not stop the overwhelming momentum of the 300,000 soldiers and horses standing on the ground.
Li Chen looked around and saw that the entire world was filled with people and war horses. Everyone was riding upright on their horses and arranged into three large square formations.
The first square formation is infantry.
The second square formation is the light cavalry.
The third square formation is heavy cavalry.
Although these heavy cavalry were not exaggerated by the heavy cavalry that Li Chen placed in the capital, they were superior in number. And with such a large number, even if Li Chen devoted all the power of the Qin Dynasty, he could not create such a force.
A heavy cavalry force of that size.
A total of 300,000 people were inspected. Such a spectacular scene is impossible to imagine unless you have been there.
Li Chen and Huang Jitian stood on the hillside, one on the left and the other on the right. Looking around, they saw the majesty of heaven and earth.
If the battlefield is where a man ends up, then the scene in front of him is enough to ignite the fire and passion in any man's body.
"Woo~woo~~"
The desolate horn sound caressed the earth.
A total of 300,000 soldiers below raised their weapons at the same time.
There was a very nice and neat sound, which was the unique sound of the collision between armor and armor.
Neat and uniform.
"We sincerely welcome His Royal Highness Prince Huang of the Qin Empire for review!"
Three hundred thousand people roared at the same time, the sound shook the earth, and Li Chen could even feel the ground beneath his feet shaking.
Li Chen took a breath and felt his heartbeat skip a beat.
If the purpose of Huang Jitian's trip was to show off his muscles, then his purpose has been achieved.
In Li Chen's opinion, the unit in front of him was not weaker than the Liao army's cavalry at all.
At this moment, Li Chen was more or less envious.
If such a cavalry were ours, the world would have been leveled long ago.
It is a pity that the Central Plains region is rich in resources and lacks everything except truly outstanding cavalry.
