Chapter 164: The Victory and Defeat Have Not Been Decided
The day of the martial arts performance came suddenly, and it was very deserted on weekdays, and the sparsely populated forbidden garden immediately became jubilant and lively, and the officials and officials came and went like a busy traffic.
This exercise was not a re-assembly on the school ground, but was moved to the wilderness and practiced in the form of a field battle. Therefore, the platform for watching the troops cannot be set up on the school grounds. But this did not make it difficult for Yang Guozhong, who personally chose a hill on the edge of the forbidden garden as a place to watch the troops.
Before the official start of the martial arts, Yang Guozhong personally went to the Xingqing Palace to greet Li Longji, the Son of Heaven. Li Longji got up very early, and his interest was also very high, and when he saw Yang Guozhong coming, he insisted on riding a horse to the Forbidden Garden to watch the troops.
However, how could Yang Guozhong and the others rest assured that Li Longji would ride a horse and take risks? After all, he was already an old man in his late teens, and if there was a mistake on horseback, even if they wanted to help, they would be too late.
In order to avoid making a big mistake, Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi persuaded each other hard to dispel Li Longji's plan to ride a horse. Li Longji, who was swept away, could only wait for the chariot in a stupid manner, and with the crackling of the horsewhip in the driver's hand, the chariot and horse suddenly started and went straight to the forbidden garden in the north of the city.
In the forbidden garden, Qin Jin was already wearing leather armor and was among the soldiers of the Shenwu Army.
Pei Jing unnaturally tidied up the clothes and armor on his body. The clothes and armor they are wearing today were sent by Yang Guozhong yesterday, and they are all in the style of the armor of the Yan soldiers in the North.
Although Yang Guozhong's move is self-evident, Qin Jin doesn't care a lot, and makes everyone change their clothes according to the order.
The armor of the northern land is mainly black, all worn on the body, and from a distance, the black and oppressive killing aura is also very terrifying. However, Qin Jin always felt that something was missing, and it was just before nightfall yesterday that he finally realized it.
What the Shenwu Army lacks is the difference between it and the real rebels. So, he ordered Pei Jing to go into the city overnight to purchase red cloth, tore it into 3,000 strips of cloth five fingers wide and one foot long, and distributed them to every soldier.
After Pei Jing finished arranging his clothes and armor, he tightened the strip of scarlet cloth tied to his right arm, which was their symbol, the symbol of the Shenwu Army's distinctiveness.
Qin Jin's swearing-in speech this morning is still echoing in his mind. The scarlet cloth strip on the right arm is a sign of the victory of the Shenwu Army!
Whining......
The horns suddenly whimpered from a distance, and Pei Jing immediately became nervous.
"General Zhonglang, the horn of the war has been blown, where should we go?"
The comparison of the forces of the two sides can be described as extremely different.
The armies of Gao, Chen, and Yang were about 50,000, while the Shenwu army of Qin and Jin was only 3,000. As long as the horn of the war blows, even if one of them spits on it, I am afraid that it will drown everyone in the Shenwu Army.
However, Pei Jing could not see the slightest fear and timidity on Qin Jin's face, as if today's victory must belong only to him. Just this confidence and calmness made Pei Jing admire.
Qin Jin only asked in a deep voice, "What did you bury last night?"
Pei Jing patted his chest and said, "It's all buried properly!"
"Very good, send people, guard the fuse, and just wait for the 'Tang Army' to be a hundred steps away, and then ignite the fire and start the war!"
……
The observation deck located on the hill has a good view, and as long as you look down, you can almost see the entire Forbidden Garden.
"Saint, look, that's the Divine Martial Army!"
Gao Lishi pointed to the black pressure in the distance, the armor of these people is very different from the style of the armor of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, which is very easy to recognize.
"Oh, even the clothes and armor have been changed, Yang Guozhong is working hard!"
Li Longji's words couldn't be heard as praise or disapproval, he looked along what Gao Lishi pointed at, but saw that the Shenwu Army stopped in place, and there seemed to be no sign of shifting movement, so he couldn't help but say:
"Qin Jin is hesitating? If he hesitates for a while, he will be surrounded by the 'Tang Army', and at that time, he will only have to disarm and surrender!"
"The slave doesn't understand, the 'Tang Army' should have won, how can you listen to the meaning of the sage, and it seems that you are still anxious about the 'rebels'?"
Li Longji smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said to Gao Lishi:
"Lux knows that I cheated yesterday and wrote the word 'lose' on all four pieces of parchment, no matter which one Qin Jin draws, he can't escape the errand of pretending to be a rebel!"
After listening to what Li Longji said, Gao Lishi was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only look at the Son of Heaven in a daze.
After a long time, Li Longji sighed.
"Actually, I want to give Qin Jin a difficult problem, whether he can take the school examination and test him, can he be up to the task......"
Li Longji's voice became softer and softer, and his gaze also turned to the vast battlefield, gradually becoming profound.
"It's moving, it's moving!"
Colliers exclaimed again.
Li Longji couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, but the Shenwu Army still stayed where he was and didn't move for half a minute. Yang Guozhong's Chinese army was the first to move, and for safety reasons, the entire field battle was set up as a decisive battle with infantry without the use of horses. The footsteps of tens of thousands of people stepped on the ground in unison, and the aggressive sound that came from them also penetrated the sky with the shouts of life.
Gao Lishi felt so relieved that he couldn't help but praise:
"If my mighty army of the Tang Dynasty is like this, why worry about the thief and not get rid of it?"
Li Longji didn't speak, but he knew that the Yanliao Iron Cavalry, who was a thief and rebelled against Hu, might not necessarily lose to the "Tang Army" in front of him, and even far outperformed them.
"Chen Xuanli's soldiers have also moved, sage, look!"
At this time, Gao Lishi seemed to be quite excited, and kept pointing to the battlefield, letting Li Longji look at this and that.
Li Longji was also extremely cooperative, and every time he followed Gao Lishi's guidance.
In fact, Li Longji knew that Gao Lishi did this on purpose, in order not to worry too much, but how did he know that it was useless for him to do so. Since the day of the fall of the eastern capital of Luoyang, the sun has never shone on his chest again.
It was dark and cold all day in the chest and abdomen, and there was no joy or laughter. What the courtiers can see is that he is only deliberately shaped, although sometimes he can't help but be angry and hysterical, but most of the time, he must deliberately maintain the composure and calmness that a son of heaven should have.
Looking at the situation under the mountain, Li Longji was a little angry. Could it be that Qin Jin wanted to cooperate with the identity of the rebels and deliberately lose to Yang Guozhong? If he did this, he would be too disappointed and disappointed his deep expectations.
"Huh, why didn't Dr. Gao's men move?"
"This is the subtlety of Gao Xianzhi's use of troops, the soldiers and horses that move first may not be able to win steadily, before the battle is undecided, if you rush forward, you may turn your advantage into a disadvantage!"
Gao Lishi was very dissatisfied with Li Longji's statement, "What the sage said is right, but the 'Tang Army' has about 50,000 people, and General Qin's 'rebel army' is only 3,000 people, even if he rushes over with his eyes closed, he can win, so cautious, the slave maid thinks it is not necessary!"
A slightly dry smile appeared on Li Longji's face.
"The reputation of Qin and Jin's use of troops has spread far and wide in the DPRK, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to be so cautious for the generals. ”
In fact, even he couldn't think of any way for Qin Jin to turn over. At this time, he was both nervous and expectant, waiting for the moment when the two armies engaged and the mystery was revealed.
Suddenly, Li Longji suddenly felt a slight shaking under his feet, and at first he thought it was a hallucination. But this shaking sensation followed, and even Colliers, who was standing beside him, could already feel it.
"The earth has moved!
Immediately afterward, Colliers' eyes were drawn to the distant scene on the hill. I saw bursts of smoke rising in the wilderness, and from time to time there were bursts of muffled thunder, and as the thunder came, the feet shook suddenly.
"The earth moves, the earth moves as if it comes from below......"
Colliers was puzzled, the current situation was far beyond his cognition, and he did not think that this ability to make a great earthquake tremble was within the reach of man. But if it weren't within the reach of manpower, would it be possible that someone would still be able to spell and summon the Thunder Male Lightning Mother?
Beneath the white smoke that gradually spreads, Gao Lishi can clearly see that Yang Guozhong's Chinese army has collapsed, running in an irregular way. There was even a group of people who rushed to the front of Chen Xuanli's military formation, and under the impact of thousands of people, Chen Xuanli's dragon army's reaction was very lagging behind, and it gradually showed signs of inadequacy.
A discerning person can see at a glance that it was this strange "celestial phenomenon" that completely frightened Yang Guozhong's troops into scattering.
And Li Longji opened his mouth wide in shock, and the whole person stood up from the Hu bed, looked at the battlefield under the mountain in disbelief, and muttered: "Oh my God, this, how is this possible, how is it possible......
……
"Zhonglang General, it's done, the timing of the detonation is not too early or too late, although Yang Guozhong's people were unlucky to bump into it, but there were no casualties because of it!"
Pei Jing excitedly reported the battle situation to Qin Jin.
To be honest, Qin Jin was very nervous before, the performance of this home-made flowering thunder was very unstable, and anything could happen, but fortunately, everything went well, and there was an explosion before Yang Guozhong's Chinese army rushed over.
In fact, Qin Jin's worries are not necessary, as long as a thunder explodes, the huge explosion will scare these people to stop charging, but the explosions and loud noises one after another are too shocking and terrifying.
These people had seen the explosion before, and they all thought that Qin Jin had invited Lei Gongdian Mother, but one of them exclaimed, and everyone dispersed together.
The most angry and frightened person is none other than Yang Guozhong, no matter how he scolds and scolds, the right leading guards who have lost their fighting spirit are like a group of locusts with no sense of direction, scattering and fleeing on the battlefield. Yang Guozhong was helplessly wrapped in the crowd, and it was difficult to get out, so he had to wander around with the crowd.
"We've won!"
Qin Jin coldly poured a basin of water.
"The war has just begun, the victory or defeat is still undecided, Chen Xuanli and Yang Guozhong are not afraid, where is Gao Xianzhi's department now?"
Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Pei Jing realized that Gao Xianzhi's Zuo Wuwei has not moved yet!
