This was the Great Tang Navy that Lu Chen had always vowed to have.
There were only a few weapons, and they were lacking. They did not have any armor to protect themselves, and they did not even have a warhorse to charge into the formation.
Moreover, their numbers were pitifully small compared to Zhang Liang's right guard.
There was only one question in the hearts of everyone watching the sparring at Xuanwu Gate.
With the standard motley crew of the Great Tang Navy, where did Lu Chen get the confidence to challenge the elite Right Military Guards of State Duke Sun, Zhang Liang?
Even Li Er had the same thought.
When he was in the palace, Lu Chen was full of confidence.
Many people believed that the Great Tang navy had advanced by leaps and bounds and had been reborn.
But now, when they pulled it out, they found that the fake reviewers seemed to be in a worse state than before…
"Brat, don't tell me that this is the elite navy that you've been boasting about!”
Li Er lost his composure.
She had changed the way she addressed Lu Chen from Minister Lu to little brat.
However, he was the ruler of a country after all. Li Er forced himself to calm down.
The navy had always been a motley crew, the weakest army of the Great Tang.
To make the navy strong in just a few days, not to mention Lu Chen, even an old general in the army could not do it.
Furthermore, the sharp blades of the spears and crossbows had been removed and replaced with lime. If one's body was stained with lime, it would be considered a hit.
In this kind of life-threatening practice, removing the armor could instead speed up and go into battle with light equipment.
On the tower of the Black Tortoise Sect, everyone was in a commotion. The discussions were everywhere, and almost all of them were mocking the navy.
Li Er took a deep breath and said," Silence. The Tang Navy is poor and weak. There's nothing to discuss. Focus on watching the battle!"”
This sentence finally suppressed all the noise.
At this moment, when Duke of Xun Zhang Liang saw the Tang navy in such a pathetic state, he was overjoyed.
The difference in numbers and equipment between the two sides was like a chasm. How could the Water Army fight against his Right Military Guard?
This time, the right guard had already locked in victory!
As long as he, Zhang Liang, could lead the Right Martial Guards and defeat Lu Chen's navy, it would be equivalent to confirming Lu Chen's crime of failing to lead the troops. This was exactly what Li Er wanted.
Li Er's reward would definitely not be small. The status and reputation that Zhang Liang had obtained would also be difficult to estimate. He could even become the leader of the generals in a single leap!
"The Commanders of the two armies have entered the arena.”
With the eunuch's order, the gong was struck, and Zhang Liang and Lu Chen went up to the stage. This crucial battle had officially begun!
On Lu Chen's side, everyone was silent.
However, it was as if he was suppressing an overwhelming anger and murderous aura.
Looking at the Right Military Guards, Zhang Liang began to issue orders after mobilizing them at the top of his lungs.
"Cavalry, take the lead and break through the enemy formation. Infantry, follow behind and prepare to clean up the battlefield!”
"The right guard will win! Victory!"
Zhang Liang's contempt for Lu Chen could be seen from his order just now.
Before the battle had even begun, the infantry had already been ordered to clean up the battlefield.
They were certain that the right guard would be able to crush the navy to death in the first wave of charge!
The soldiers of the Right Guards were also waving their weapons crazily. Some of them even used their fists to hit their chest armor heavily as they roared in an imposing manner.
"Victory, victory!"
As expected of the elite right guard, their battle qi soared to the sky!
"Attack!"
Their morale had reached its peak.
Zhang Liang roared, and the heavy-armored cavalry of the Right Guards charged forward like wild beasts, bringing up dust along the way.
Seeing this, everyone on the city gate tower shook their heads, especially those generals who had been through many battles.
On flat ground, other troops would not be able to block the charge of the heavy-armored cavalry.
Moreover, this was the Great Tang's elite Right Military Guards. Just this first wave of attacks was practically unstoppable!
The onlookers seemed to be a little disappointed.
They had wanted to see the navy that had been reborn compete with the elites of the right guards.
However, he never expected it to be a one-sided suppression. The battle had just begun and was about to end.
However, Lu Chen did not think so. He and the troll army behind him were all suppressing their anger!
The heavy-armored cavalrymen were less than a hundred steps away from them. This was already the cordon between cavalrymen and infantrymen on the battlefield!
"Troops, listen up. Three rounds of fire in front!”
Lu Chen had already arranged the formation of the water army in advance, and he had also explained some details.
Arrows covered in lime were shot high into the sky by the navy, forming a dark mass.
In an instant, countless lime powder fell down, as if it was so thick that one could not open their eyes and see it at all.
The sudden scene left everyone at a loss.
As for the heavy-armored cavalrymen who were charging forward, because their warhorses could not see the direction clearly, their speed decreased drastically, and the power of their charge was reduced by more than half.
After losing their sense of direction, no matter how the soldiers on the horses tried to control them, the horses under them were not as obedient as before.
Their roars collided with each other, and it was a mess.
The charging formation of the heavy-armored cavalrymen was directly disintegrated!
The surrounding crowd and Zhang Liang were all stunned. They had never seen such a fighting style before!
However, Lu Chen did not intend to give them time to react. He ordered the navy in a deep voice.
"Three people in a group, spread out to both sides. Archers, prepare to shoot accurately. Infantry, cover!”
With Lu Chen's order, the navy moved quickly. In an instant, they almost split up and surrounded the Right Military Guards 'heavy cavalry that was covered in dust!
Not long after, the dust dissipated.
The heavy cavalry of the Right Guards cursed as they prepared to continue their attack.
However, as soon as he could see it clearly, countless arrows were shooting toward the center from all directions!
Although the arrowheads were removed from these arrows, they did not have sharp blades and were only smeared with lime to distinguish them.
However, his strength was still extraordinarily great, and his accuracy was even more terrifying.
Every bolt was aimed at the joints of the armor and the exposed parts of the body!
In an instant, many of the heavy cavalrymen were covered in lime. As for the seemingly impenetrable armor, it was actually bypassed accurately.
This was indeed a drill. There were no arrows and no lethality.
However, if they were on the battlefield, this group of heavy-armored cavalrymen would have been completely annihilated by now. They would all die!
One had to know that after Lu Chen dug out the talent of the Internet Water Army and trained them specifically, the overall improvement was very great.
This was especially true for archers, who needed accuracy and relied heavily on talent. They had advanced by leaps and bounds!
In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of heavy-armored cavalrymen responsible for charging were wiped out.
In an instant, the entire Black Tortoise Sect was silent. Zhang Liang felt dizzy and his eyes went black. He almost fell to the ground.
The people watching the battle on the city gate tower, especially the generals, recalled how they did not think highly of Lu Chen before and felt their faces burn!
Cheng Yaojin was especially shocked as he muttered to himself.
"This, this, I, Old Cheng, actually made a mistake!”
