Chapter 602: Junzhou meets on a narrow road

Having said that, the Tiger King turned his gaze to his two sons.

These two young generals, one named Hu Xiaofeng and the other named Hu Zhenyue, are both the pride of the Tiger King.

Hu Xiaofeng has a slender figure and a handsome face. There is a scholarly air between his brows, but he still has the fortitude of a military general. He has a calm personality and is good at strategy.

Hu Zhenyue, on the other hand, is tall and strong, with dark skin, a straightforward personality, and is brave and fearless.

Although the two men have very different personalities, they are both rare military talents.

"Xiao Feng, Zhen Yue, your father now entrusts the important task to you two."

"Xiao Feng, you lead 10,000 cavalrymen to the west of Junzhou, gather all the garrison troops and county soldiers, fortify the city and defend it to the death."

"Remember, your mission is to delay Li Jing's army. You don't have to engage in a head-on confrontation with them. You just need to use the terrain to your advantage and deplete their morale and supplies as much as possible."

There was some kindness and expectation in the Tiger King's voice.

"Don't worry, father. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaofeng stood up and bowed respectfully, with determination flashing in his eyes. He had already foreseen the difficult challenges that were about to come.

"Zhenyue, you will also lead 10,000 cavalrymen and act separately from Xiaofeng. Your mission is to assist Xiaofeng and ensure the stability of the western defense line."

"Remember, although courage is important, wisdom is equally indispensable. This time, Qizhou Li Jing is invading in a big way. Your father hopes that you two brothers will cooperate with each other to deal with this crisis together."

Then, the Tiger King's gaze fell on Hu Zhenyue again.

"Don't worry, father. I swear to live and die with Junzhou!"

Hu Zhenyue nodded heavily, exuding an unstoppable fighting spirit from his whole body.

"Also, General Zhao, you will immediately go to the west with Xiao Feng and Zhen Yue and take charge of the defense line to ensure the safety of our army."

Then the Tiger King looked at a general who was ranked at the top among the generals below.

'Black-armored God of War'——Zhao Boyuan.

Zhao Boyuan, this name is like thunder in the Junzhou army, everyone knows it.

He is tall, muscular, and has a healthy bronze skin, as if every inch of his skin contains infinite power.

He holds a huge saber weighing a hundred pounds and is brave enough to defeat ten thousand men.

"Don't worry, my king. I will do my best to protect the two young masters and guard Junzhou!"

When Zhao Boyuan heard this, his body shook, then he strode out of the queue, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully.

The Tiger King looked at Zhao Boyuan, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

With the addition of the god of war Zhao Boyuan, the western defense line will be more stable, and the safety of Hu Xiaofeng and Hu Zhenyue will be better guaranteed.

"Okay! You must set off immediately, without any mistakes!"

The Tiger King waved his hand and issued the final order.

He slowly stretched out his hand and patted his two sons on the shoulders. It was a silent encouragement and a deep blessing.

He knew that this separation might mean separation between life and death, but he knew even more clearly that as the king of Junzhou and as their father, he had to make such a choice.

"Go, my children. The future of Junzhou is in your hands." The Tiger King's voice was low and powerful, as if he was injecting the final courage and determination into his two sons.

Following the Tiger King's order, Hu Xiaofeng and Hu Zhenyue turned around at the same time and strode out of the hall, their backs lengthened in the candlelight.

Outside the capital of Junzhou, the cavalrymen who had been ready for battle straightened their backs when they saw the two young masters appear.

"For Junzhou and Tiger King, I will never retreat!"

Hu Xiaofeng and Hu Zhenyue each jumped onto their horses, raised their spears high, and let out a deafening shout.

This shout, like a horn, instantly ignited the soldiers' fighting spirit. They responded in unison, and their voices shook the sky.

In the darkness of night, the two cavalry units advanced rapidly westward like a black torrent.

Although Hu Xiaofeng and Hu Zhenyue have different personalities, at this moment, their hearts are closely connected and they jointly shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Junzhou.

In the Tiger King's mansion, the Tiger King watched the backs of his two sons gradually go away, feeling both reluctant and relieved.

"Now, we must concentrate all available forces to deal with Ning Piaomiao in the south!"

He turned back to the meeting room, facing a group of advisers and generals, his eyes flashing with unprecedented decisiveness.

Following the Tiger King's order, the entire Junzhou seemed to be united by an invisible force.

Just as Hu Xiaofeng led Zhao Boyuan and an army of 10,000 cavalrymen, rushing towards the western defense line like a black torrent, vowing to defend Junzhou to the death.

On the horizon not far away, another force is shuttling across the vast land of Junzhou at an astonishing speed.

This is a light cavalry unit led by Mo Peng, the Demon King of Peng under Li Jing. Although there are only 1,500 of them, each of them is elite.

They are the special force that Mo Peng put all his efforts into training, imitating the famous White Tiger Cavalry under Baihu's command - the Yunpeng Cavalry.

Yunpeng Cavalry, this name may be relatively new in the Qizhou Army, but their strength and potential have already impressed many veterans.

As one of the two strongest men under Li Jing besides Baihu, Demon King Mo Peng did not choose to be at ease during his free time in Qizhou.

Instead, he turned his attention to the White Tiger Cavalry, a legendary cavalry under the White Tiger that was known for its speed and flexibility. It was able to closely follow the White Tiger, the ceiling god of war, and move freely on the battlefield.

Therefore, Mo Peng, who was eager to try, carefully selected 1,500 soldiers with agility and excellent riding skills during the period when there was no war in Qizhou, and began arduous training.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Yunpeng Cavalry are all carefully selected elites. They are not only excellent in riding skills and accurate archery, but also good at rapid maneuvers. They can quickly penetrate the battlefield and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Li Jing was also happy to have an additional special force under his command, and he gave the green light and supported Mo Peng's training all the way.

Therefore, the equipment worn by the Yunpengqi soldiers is also extremely luxurious. Their armor is painted with a pattern of a flying peng bird, implying that they are like the peng bird in the sky, able to quickly cross the battlefield and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Mounts are all carefully selected fine horses, with both endurance and speed, able to burst out amazing sprint power in a short period of time.

The weapons and equipment of each soldier were also carefully designed by Mohist craftsmen. In addition to spears, there were also short swords, bows and arrows, etc., which could be switched at any time and flexibly responded to according to the needs of the battlefield.

During the training process, Mo Peng borrowed tactics from the White Tiger Cavalry, but also incorporated his own innovations.

It emphasizes speed and flexibility, requiring soldiers to be able to quickly change formations on the battlefield and take advantage of terrain to launch raids and retreats.

At the same time, they also pay attention to the tacit cooperation between soldiers. Through countless actual combat exercises, the Yunpeng Cavalry has become an elite force that can complete tasks independently and cooperate with other troops at critical moments.
