Chapter 472 The army marches out, aiming at the pass!
"My Lord, the Black Armor Army wants to fight!"
"My Lord, I am willing to lead the Qihuo Army as the vanguard!"
"My Lord, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry wants to fight!"
"My Lord..."
One after another, figures came out and knelt on the ground, clasping their hands, looking at Ning Fan with burning eyes, and a hint of high fighting spirit surged in their bodies.
"Generals!"
"This time, I will personally go to the southern expedition. Lü Bu will lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Ran Min will lead the Qihuo Army, Chen Qingzhi will lead the White Robe Army, Qin Qiong will lead the Black Armor Army, and Huo Qubing will lead the Nanyong King Army!"
"Ennoble Huo Qubing as the General of the Southern Expedition, sitting in the center of the army, giving orders and exercising the power of the general!"
"Are you convinced?"
Ning Fan looked around, and everyone's expression was stern. They stepped forward and bowed to Huo Qubing: "I pay my respects to the General of the Southern Expedition!"
"No need to be polite!"
"Ennoble Guo Jia as the accompanying military advisor, responsible for food and logistics, and can issue orders on behalf of me."
"Yes, sir!"
Guo Jia stepped out and saluted Ning Fan, and the generals also saluted Guo Jia.
"Meet the military advisor!"
"No need to be polite!"
"Ran Min, Chen Qingzhi, and Guan Yu will be the vanguards. They will clear the way when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water!"
"Yes, sir!"
After some arrangements, the duties of each general were clearly divided. Ning Fan personally handed the big seal and tiger talisman in his hand to Huo Qubing. The latter looked solemn, holding the big seal in front of his chest with both hands, and looking at the neat and strict square formation below.
"We will win!"
A light shout, but the voice seemed to be mixed with some kind of magic. The simple two words could make the soldiers below go crazy, and they all raised their weapons or hit their shields with swords!
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
"Soldiers, this southern expedition is not to resist foreign enemies, but to expand the territory for Dayu!"
"Everywhere the sun and moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, they are all Yu's land!"
"Sacrifice the flag and go to war!"
...
The army was driving on the streets of Lingzhou. Two figures stood in the crowd, staring at this scene blankly.
"Brother Ning?"
"Is this... a rebellion?"
Mo Rufeng looked at Ning Taisui beside him in astonishment. The latter rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "You are the master of Tianji Pavilion, known to know everything in the world, why do you ask me everything?"
"Brother Ning!"
Mo Rufeng's expression showed a trace of pain, and he felt like crying. He looked at Ning Taisui beside him and said with gritted teeth: "Do you know how difficult it has been for my Tianji Pavilion in the past month?"
"It has only been two months since Jia Xu, the old shaman, came back from the capital, and my Tianji Pavilion's hundreds of years of foundation in Huainan was just... pulled out by him."
"My Tianji Pavilion's intelligence line in Huainan was actually forced out by him using all kinds of despicable means."
"This person has absolutely no bottom line. How could our Tianji Pavilion have ever suffered such humiliation? Damn Jia Xu!"
Listening to Mo Rufeng's complaints, Ning Taisui was also stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Who is this Jia Xu?"
"Isn't your Tianji Pavilion known for its fortune-telling skills? How come you have an intelligence network?"
"..."Mo Rufeng rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Do you think everyone in my Tianji Pavilion is a reincarnation of a god?"
"The reason why we can know what's going on in the world is not because everyone in my Tianji Pavilion can tell fortunes, but because my Tianji Pavilion has spent hundreds of years weaving an intelligence network throughout the Central Plains!"
"So that's it!"
Ning Taisui showed a look of realization on his face, but his eyes were attracted by the figures of the soldiers in front of him.
"Hiss!"
"Heavy armored cavalry, the King of Yong actually has a group of heavy armored cavalry in his hands?"
"What kind of square formation is this?"
"This, this, this...heavy armored infantry, and they are carrying longbows?"
"The weight they carry, including the armor, is probably no less than 70 kilograms, right?"
Ning Taisui exclaimed, staring at the armored soldiers in front of him, his face full of shock. You know, looking at the five countries in the Central Plains, such as Dali and Donghuai, there are no heavy armored cavalry!
Heavy armored cavalry, in this era, is the synonym of invincibility. On the battlefield, whenever the heavy cavalry launches an offensive, no matter if you are in front of a mountain of swords and fire or a mountain of blood and bones, as long as you push forward, you will flatten everything.
This is the horror of heavy cavalry.
But it is too difficult to form a heavy armored cavalry. From armor to weapons and horses, every aspect is extremely particular, and the training method is a secret that all countries do not disclose.
The Dayan Dragon Riders, which are known as the invincible ones in the world, are the strongest heavy armored cavalry in the Central Plains. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Dayan Dragon Riders are not destroyed, Dayan's dominant position in the Central Plains will not disappear.
Now, Huainan actually has heavy armored cavalry?
The number is less than 10,000?
Can they afford it?
Ning Taisui sucked in cold air again and again, and soon felt dry in his mouth. He drank a sip of water and continued to suck in cold air...
"It's so terrifying!"
"Will the boy King Yong really rebel?"
"You must not do that!"
A hurried sound of footsteps sounded, and a thin man walked quickly towards Mo Rufeng. When he passed by, he whispered: "Master, this time King Yong wants to capture Guanshan!"
"Oh?"
Mo Rufeng looked surprised and whispered: "Didn't our intelligence network get destroyed by that old sinister man?"
"How did you know?"
"Master, this is the news from Dayu. King Yong and Empress Li have reached an unknown agreement. Empress Li will lead the army in person!"
"What!"
"Is King Yong crazy?"
"Now the princes of Guanshan are fighting each other, and the heroes are rising up. Now the grassland is about to enter the cold winter. How far is this place from Guanshan?"
"If he attacks Guanshan at this time, wouldn't it be... destroying his own road?"
Looking at Mo Rufeng's pale face, Ning Taisui on the side had a gleam in his eyes: "Little white face, when it comes to pretending to be a ghost, this king can't compare with you."
"But when it comes to strategic vision and marching and fighting, you are not as good as this king, no, not as good as King Yong!"
"Don't you think of things that King Yong and his staff can't think of? Unexpected?"
"Uh!"
Mo Rufeng was instantly blocked by Ning Taisui and couldn't speak. There was a bit of anger in his eyes: "Who are you calling a pretty boy?"
"Hahaha!"
Ning Taisui laughed and turned his head. Mo Rufeng looked at the thin man in front of him and carefully warned: "Now the old sinister man is still watching you. If you don't uproot the power of my Tianji Pavilion, the old sinister man will never give up."
"After you go back, you must be careful. If there is no important news, don't expose it easily!"
"Also, after you go back, pay close attention to the news of King Yong's southern expedition..."
Mo Rufeng explained solemnly, but he saw that the thin man in front of him unconsciously became very ugly, and he looked like he was about to cry.
"What are you doing? Did you hear what I said?"
