Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

At the front of the entire formation, a tall and upright young general, clad in gold-lacquered iron armor, sat astride a magnificent warhorse.

The sunlight shone on his armor, shimmering with dazzling light, complementing his resolute and stern face.

Beside the young general stood his beautiful, gentle, fair-skinned, and dignified wife.

She wore half-body leather armor and a long black dress, appearing both noble and valiant.

A few strands of hair by her ear were gently blown by the breeze, adding to her charm.

This young general and his wife were naturally Zhao Shuo and Hua Zheng.

The heavy cavalry force before them was one of Zhao Shuo's hard-earned achievements over the past six months.

After much deliberation, Zhao Shuo gave this heavy cavalry a simple yet distinctive name: the Black Cavalry!

This was because the fully armored iron cavalry, both men and horses, wore black iron armor, and their flags were also Xuan black, creating a black torrent sweeping across the green grassland.

Names like Crimson Blood Dragon Cavalry or Great Snow Dragon Cavalry sounded imposing in Chinese, but when translated into Mongolian, they became too cumbersome.

The Black Cavalry, on the other hand, was relatively catchy, highly recognizable, and perfectly suited for this newly formed heavy cavalry.

It was just a pity that Zhao Shuo was not wealthy enough to replace all the Black Cavalry's warhorses with black ones; otherwise, it would have been even more deserving of the name.

"Reporting to the Consort and Princess, the Black Cavalry has two hundred and twenty men, two hundred and twenty were expected, and two hundred and twenty are present, awaiting your inspection!"

A tall, dark-skinned man with a scar running from his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth bowed respectfully to Zhao Shuo.

He was none other than Heida Hei Batu'er, formerly the bravest general of the Klie Tribe's First Division.

It was he who killed Temujin's good brother, the original number one Mongolian general, Weida'er, on the battlefield.

After the Battle of Zhe Zhe Yundu Mountain, Temujin did not choose to kill him to avenge Weida'er, but instead said: "Is not a man who bravely fights for his Khan the purest warrior of the grasslands?

You are a person who can be a friend, not an enemy of this Khan."

Thus, Heida Hei Batu'er, along with more than four hundred households of the Zierjin people, were bestowed upon Zhao Shuo as his subjects.

Zhao Shuo simply appointed Heida Hei Batu'er as the leader of his five hundred-strong standing army.

Grassland men did not have so many twists and turns.

Although they had been enemies before, Batu'er was quite impressed with Zhao Shuo, both in terms of military strategy and personal strength.

When Zhao Shuo obtained heavy armor for the Black Cavalry and personally trained them, Batu'er was even more convinced and wholeheartedly served Zhao Shuo.

In fact, this was precisely Temujin's intention.

Giving Batu'er to other Mongolian nobles, although it would never lead to rebellion, would not maximize the effectiveness of such a fierce general.

Ara'wus had promised two hundred sets of heavy armor, but now he had exceeded the task, reaching two hundred and twenty sets.

As for the five hundred sets of iron armor he sent, Zhao Shuo naturally presented them to Temujin—a younger brother hogging all the benefits without giving the boss even a tiny bit would not work anywhere, right?

In any case, today was the day the Black Cavalry's combat power took shape, and Zhao Shuo was conducting the final inspection.

"Soldiers of the Black Cavalry!"

Zhao Shuo raised the riding whip in his hand, his voice loud and firm: "You are the warriors carefully selected by me, Zhao Shuo!

The armor you wear is the best on the grasslands!

Now, prove to me and to the Eternal Sky that you are the best cavalry on the grasslands!"

"We are willing to go through fire and water for the Consort, even to die a thousand deaths!"

Rumble ~ ~

With a shout, the two hundred and twenty Black Cavalry moved!

Their starting speed was not fast, just a steady advance.

However, as the horse speed increased, the situation rapidly changed.

The hooves heavily and powerfully trampled on the grassland, and the whole earth was shaking, forming an irresistible black torrent.

Wherever the neat heavy cavalry passed, it seemed that the air was compressed, and even the wind seemed to stop, truly the power of heaven and earth.

A mere two hundred and twenty heavy cavalrymen had a momentum that surpassed thousands of troops!

Such obedience, two hundred and twenty people as one, is really more dreadful than just the torrent of steel.

However, this is not the end.

Then, Batu'er ordered: "Dismount!"

"Yes!"

Two hundred and twenty riders, all dismounted, quickly lined up, turned into heavy infantry, and advanced towards the target in front.

"Stop, shoot!"

Swish swish swish!

Two hundred and twenty heavy arrows shot towards the target a hundred paces away.

Puff puff puff!

These arrows not only hit the wooden target in front.

But also the three-inch-thick pine board, directly like a thin layer of window paper, directly pierced!

Then, Batu'er led the Black Cavalry back and bowed to Zhao Shuo and Hua Zheng.

"The Black Cavalry's drill is complete, please give instructions, Consort and Princess!"

Zhao Shuo looked at Hua Zheng and said: "Hua Zheng, what do you think of our Black Cavalry?"

"The Black Cavalry is definitely the best cavalry on the grasslands!"

Hua Zheng was also a person who knew the military and had already made a judgment, saying: "If we had five hundred such cavalry during the battle of Helan Zhenshatu, it's really not certain who would have won between us and Wang Han."

In the battle of Helan Zhenshatu, Wang Han launched a surprise attack on Temujin with superior forces, and Hua Zheng almost lost her life in the encirclement.

Hua Zheng's comments were quite high for the Black Cavalry.

The newest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

However, Hua Zheng said with some worry: "Is this the power of the Jin Dynasty's Iron Pagoda? We will definitely have a battle with the Jin Dynasty.

I really don't know how to resist when ten thousand Iron Pagoda cavalry charge."

"Where can the Jurchens now produce ten thousand Iron Pagoda cavalry?"

Zhao Shuo said with a sneer: "Ten thousand sets of armored cavalry equipment, I believe it is not difficult for the Jin people to produce.

But, ten thousand such valiant warriors... If the Jin people can produce it, even Han Tuozhou would be scared to death and would not dare to start a war against the Jin Dynasty."

"The Consort is right."

Batu'er said: "The Jurchens just have better weapons and armor than us.

In a fair contest, our grassland warriors can beat ten of them!"

Zhao Shuo said: "What about against the Black Cavalry?"

"We can beat a hundred of them!"

"Really beat a hundred?"

Batu'er said decisively: "This general has no doubt about it!"

"Then let's see on the battlefield!"

Zhao Shuo looked towards the distant west and said: "The Jin people are now preparing for a great war with the Song people, and they will not trouble us for the time being.

However, the Naiman people in the west... should be restless."

...

Three days later, at the foot of the Altai Mountains, the Naiman royal court.

Taiyang Khan of the Naiman was enjoying wine and song and dance.

"I am born beautiful, and the songs I sing are even more beautiful.

Come, come, come with me!

Let's spend a wonderful time together on that vast grassland.

As long as you look at my beautiful eyes, you will never forget me..."

The sound of the dombra and the oud echoed, and a beautiful woman in a gorgeous long dress was singing and dancing.

Her posture was light and graceful, and every movement revealed endless charm and charm.

Her arms were like nimble wings, sometimes gently stroking her cheeks, sometimes drawing towards the sky, as if painting beautiful pictures.

Under the auspices of this wonderful dance, Taiyang Khan of the Naiman felt that the wine in his cup was particularly mellow.
