"Zhe'er..."
Liu Jinghong looked at Jing Zhe: "This Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment is no ordinary cavalry. Only those who have actually fought against them understand how terrifying they are... Even if only five hundred cavalrymen have come, we cannot act rashly, because you don't know how many more heavy cavalry regiments are waiting behind them!"
Unlike Empress Yueyao's disdain for Jing Zhe, Liu Jinghong explained to Jing Zhe very seriously.
It wasn't just because Jing Zhe was her younger brother, but also because she knew that Jing Zhe's talent was beyond that of ordinary people. He had just learned lightness skill and was able to kill Qi Gulong, the number one warrior of Southern Qi. He was then highly regarded by Emperor An. Now, whether it was martial arts or strategy, he was extremely talented in Liu Jinghong's eyes, which is why she patiently explained it to him.
"Oh? They're powerful? But they're not as powerful as the Jinghong Iron Cavalry? Besides, with me in charge, the Jinghong Iron Cavalry can just clean up the mess!"
Jing Zhe spoke confidently, having already figured out how to proceed.
Empress Yueyao shook her head, her disdain even more evident in her eyes.
Liu Jinghong glanced at Wang De, who understood and said, "Young Master Jing, let me tell you about this Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment..."
Jing Zhe nodded and listened to him slowly begin to speak.
It turns out that there are three legendary armies that have always been admired in the military circles of various countries.
One of them was the Silver Thread Army of Southern Qi, the same army that Jing Zhe had encountered before. They were famous for wearing silver-threaded armor and being able to withstand many ranged weapons on the battlefield. In recent times, they had made great achievements in the war between Southern Qi and Dongyue, winning more battles than they lost, and thus their fame spread far and wide.
The second force was his fifth sister's Swift Iron Cavalry. They didn't have equipment like the Silver Thread Armor, but each cavalryman was stronger than an ordinary soldier because they all knew some martial arts, the lowest being level one and the highest being level three. When facing cavalrymen who didn't know martial arts, their power was naturally extraordinary.
Thus, they became famous for repeatedly repelling the Western Barbarians in Liangzhou. Moreover, Liu Jinghong was a female general who did not come from a sect, yet she had reached the sixth level of cultivation through years of fighting on the battlefield, which was highly praised.
The last one was the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment.
The Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment belongs to the Western Frontier Royal Family, which is located in Kadian, the capital of the Western Frontier, in the far northwest of the Western Frontier. It is very far from the An Kingdom's mainland, so the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment rarely comes to An Kingdom.
In fact, Kadingan is geographically closer to Tsinsi.
In recent years, when Xijiang attacked Liangzhou, it was always the ordinary Xijiang barbarian troops that were sent. As for the heavy cavalry regiment, perhaps they felt it was unnecessary. After all, it was not for a full-scale war with Anguo. Moreover, there were many tribes in Xijiang, and the Xijiang royal family still needed the heavy cavalry regiment to guard Kadian to prevent riots.
The Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment is characterized by its "heavy" nature. Because their handicraft industry is poor, they cannot produce lightweight yet highly defensive items like silver-threaded armor. Therefore, their cavalrymen wear heavy armor, which is very heavy. Although it is not as effective as silver-threaded armor, it can still block most swords and blades.
And the animals they rode were not warhorses, but yaks.
Because cavalrymen wear armor, and their mounts also need armor, only yaks can bear such a heavy load.
Although they were a bit slow, heavy cavalry regiments always operated as a unit, and once the entire regiment advanced, they were hard to defeat.
These cavalrymen were not ordinary cavalrymen; each of them was skilled in martial arts. Although some of them might not be as good as the Jinghong Iron Cavalry, their advantage lay in the fact that each of them knew martial arts.
This further increased the power of the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment.
It is evident that the Silver Thread Army has excellent defense but mediocre martial arts skills, while the Swift Swallow Iron Cavalry is the opposite, and the Heavy Cavalry Regiment possesses both.
To describe it in a more intuitive way, we can analyze it like this.
Silver Thread Army: Defense +100, Attack +50
Amazing Iron Cavalry: Defense +50, Attack +100
Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment: Defense +80, Attack +80
This comparison clearly demonstrates the formidable strength of the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment, and Jing Zhe finally understood after hearing it.
...
At this moment, Liu Jinghong looked at Empress Yueyao, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the farewell banquet is over. Instead of heading to Jingzhou tomorrow morning, why don't you set off this afternoon? That way you can arrive in Jingzhou a day earlier!"
"..."
Hearing this, Empress Yueyao was somewhat moved, and at the same time, she was impressed by Liu Jinghong's courage.
As the Queen of Yueyao, she had long known that the Western Barbarians would come to Liangzhou to fight for a few days every winter, and General Jinghong was always able to handle it well. But this time, she suddenly led the Yueyao Army into the battle. Although they drove away the Western Barbarians, they attracted a heavy cavalry regiment.
In her view, the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment's arrival at this particular time was definitely because of her. They had made the Western Frontier royal family believe that Yueyao Kingdom and An Kingdom had joined forces, and they couldn't contain themselves and did this.
She already felt guilty, but Liu Jinghong was worried about their safety and made them leave. She was touched, but felt even more guilty!
"General Jinghong, I am not a coward. This whole affair started because of our Yueyao Kingdom. If I were to run away now out of fear, not only would you be despised, but I would also despise myself!"
Empress Yueyao's voice was deep and calm, her gaze profound.
"Now that the heavy cavalry regiment has arrived, let us fight them together!"
"Alright, thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the two women united in their hatred and sympathy for each other, Jing Zhe curled his lips: Although this heavy cavalry regiment sounds a bit intimidating, they are still flesh and blood after all!
How can a flesh-and-blood body dodge a grenade?
However, he brought a lot of raw materials, but unfortunately he hadn't started processing them yet. So he said, "Fifth Sister, a mere heavy cavalry regiment is nothing to fear! Give me one night, and I'll finish making these things. I'll make sure those heavy cavalry regiments never return and know how powerful we are!"
Heavy cavalry regiments would be better!
We'll just blow them all to the sky and see if the Western Frontier will dare to invade Liangzhou again.
They didn't dare, but Liu Jinghong dared to go back with him...
I'm so excited just thinking about it!
"Why!"
Wang De's explanation was thorough enough, yet Jing Zhe still managed to utter such "naive and brainless" words. Empress Yueyao felt a little sorry for him and was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Although he has some minor skills, he only thinks about showing off, and the boasts he makes are truly laughable!
But what she couldn't understand even more was that Liu Jinghong didn't question him at all. Instead, she asked, "Zhe'er, are you really confident that you can win in one blow?"
"Of course, Fifth Sister doesn't believe me?"
"letter!"
Liu Jinghong nodded seriously.
Empress Yueyao, standing nearby, was practically petrified, inwardly screaming: "Can you guys stop messing around? The enemy is the Western Frontier Heavy Cavalry Regiment! Do you think this is child's play?"
