Through countless dynasties, I can summon the heroes of Chinese history.

To put it bluntly, if infantry encounters cavalry, they can't catch up even if they win, and they can't escape even if they lose.

When cavalry charge, the combined weight of man and horse, along with their speed, can unleash devastating force on the front of infantry formations.

Ordinary warhorses can weigh over a thousand catties, and the stronger ones can approach a ton. Such a behemoth rushing in with a strong wind is enough to make even the most elite infantry tremble.

The horses' hooves pounded on the ground, making the earth tremble slightly. Their indomitable momentum was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Therefore, a cavalry unit, if commanded properly, can easily defeat five infantry units!

Of course, more importantly, mobility can often reverse a huge gap in troop strength.

The cavalry can take advantage of their speed to concentrate their forces and launch a fierce attack on the enemy's weak points, creating a situation where they outnumber the enemy in local battles.

Even if an infantry force outnumbers another, it is impossible to deploy all of their troops.

Especially in large-scale battles, once the battle lines are stretched, the troops will be dispersed. Cavalry can take advantage of this, quickly infiltrate and move around, and immediately take down a force of the enemy before infantry reinforcements arrive, and then quickly withdraw.

By repeating this process, the infantry, who lacked mobility, could be gradually whittled down and wiped out.

Therefore, facing these three thousand elite cavalrymen from powerful families, Liangshan would never send infantry to engage them in a head-on confrontation, especially since their own forces were already at a disadvantage.

Their goal was never to annihilate the cavalry, but merely to buy time.

To achieve this goal, a duel on the battlefield is undoubtedly the best method.

This would not only prevent their own cavalry from getting caught up in the melee and losing troops, but also stabilize the stalemate between the two armies by the outcome of the duel between the generals, thus buying precious time for Chao Gai and Lü Guang.

"You lackeys of noble families, who dares to fight me!"

Just then, a handsome young man stepped forward, his tone filled with fierce anger.

The young man wore a purple-gold crown inlaid with jewels, a gold headband with two dragons chasing a pearl pattern at his eyebrows, and a bright red arrow-sleeved robe embroidered with butterflies and flowers in two colors of gold.

He wore a colorful silk sash with long tassels tied around his waist, and a dark blue brocade jacket with eight floral patterns and tassels over it. He also wore a pair of light blue satin boots with pink soles. His whole demeanor was outstanding and he could truly be described as heroic and extraordinary.

With a flick of his right hand, a gleaming silver spear appeared in his palm. The dragon patterns on the shaft were lifelike, and the spearhead pointed diagonally at the ground, yet it could not conceal its imposing sharpness.

The boy's eyes were wide open, as if fire was flickering in them. His gaze was fixed on the government troops opposite him, and his chest heaved slightly, clearly showing that he was furious to the extreme.

His brocade robes fluttered with his movements, further highlighting his heroic spirit and imposing presence.

This person was none other than Nangong Xiao, the strongest fighter in Liangshan.

…………

"What a brat, barely out of his teens, daring to be so arrogant on the battlefield! Who is willing to go and deal with him? Remember, we must finish this quickly and decisively, without delay. I will certainly speak highly of him to my father and help him advance further!"

Han Fengwei said angrily, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

After all, Nangong Xiao had just insulted him as well, which made him furious. He immediately ordered his men to take care of him.

"General, this subordinate will go and capture this scoundrel!"

At this moment, a military officer in the army heard Han Feng's words and his eyes lit up. He gripped a broadsword tightly with both hands, clasped his hands in a fist and asked for instructions before spurring his horse forward and charging towards Nangong Xiao like a whirlwind.

The blade gleamed with a chilling light, its gleaming edge shining brightly in the sunlight.

Just by looking at the appearance of this weapon, you can tell that it is no ordinary iron!

Unfortunately, it's all show and no substance.

With just a glance, Nangong Xiao could roughly guess his strength, which was at most only at the first-class level.

Throughout the entire Tianyuan Continent, after thousands of years of development, although the military systems of different countries are different, at most they are just called different things.

Taking the Cangming Dynasty, where Jiang Ce lived, as an example, a general with a thousand men was called a Sima, and could only command a thousand men.

Above Sima is Xiaowei.

There are two types of captains: regular army captains and county soldier captains.

A regular army captain commands 5,000 troops, while a captain in the county army can only command 3,000 troops.

It can be said that anyone who has been promoted to captain is already considered a mid-to-high-ranking officer.

Above the rank of Colonel is the Lieutenant General or the General of the Vanguard, who can lead an army independently. As the commander of a detachment, they can generally command 10,000 men.

In the military, Sima were generally first-class generals, with only a very few reaching the super-first-class level.

Eight or nine out of ten officers in the army are top-notch military generals. Only a very few people, even if their own martial prowess is average, will serve as officers because they are good at military strategy.

If they are regular soldiers, or Sima (military officers) in border troops or imperial guards, most of them are at the late stage of first-class strength, while ordinary county soldiers Sima are basically at the early stage of first-class strength.

The Sima who has just appeared is clearly only of this strength; against Nangong Xiao, he can only be described as...

"You little brat, take this knife from your grandfather!"

Sima was truly arrogant to the extreme. Seeing that Nangong Xiao was so young, he didn't take him seriously at all, completely unaware of the formidable figure standing before him.

With a furious roar, Sima's broadsword, imbued with a fierce wind and a surge of cold light, slashed fiercely towards Nangong Xiao's neck, determined to take his life in one strike.

"What an insolent and rude official!"

Nangong Xiao was young and impetuous, how could he tolerate the humiliation of having someone else become his grandfather for no reason?

He roared angrily, the sound so powerful that the surrounding air trembled slightly. He was determined to make this madman pay a bloody price today.
