After capturing Hou Xibai, Li Qin's team set off again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The team of three hundred people slowly moved forward and soon arrived at the Dragon Gate.

Longmen is located in the north of Yique, on the edge of Yishui, in the middle of Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan, which is regarded as a river valley terrain. This is a famous Buddhist holy place. Li Qin led the army to walk in the west of Yishui, looked around, and the first thing he noticed was the large and small Buddha shrine stone caves on the cliff wall of Longmen Mountain to the west of him. Li Qin knew that this was the famous Longmen Grottoes in later generations.

The Longmen Grottoes are divided into two communities, east and west. The Longmen Mountain in the west of Yishui belongs to the western community, mainly from the grottoes excavated from the Northern Wei Dynasty, while the Xiangshan in the east of Yishui is the grottoes after the Sui and Tang dynasties - now only sporadically existed, and the other places have generally maintained a complete original ecology.

"These Buddhist shrines and grottoes are indeed carved very beautiful and magnificent, but compared to these things with strong religious meanings, I still prefer more green mountains and green waters." Li Qin looked at it and shook his head lightly and sighed.

He turned his head and asked Lu Miaozi: "You said that if you put the money and grain for the construction of these grottoes above the people's livelihood, how many people in the world will benefit?" ”

"This ...... I guess it can make people's lives much better. Lu Miaozi looked at the exquisite stone carved Buddha statues, pure lotus, and heavenly maidens on the mountain in the west, and couldn't help but sigh.

These sculptures are indeed beautiful and artistic, but such exquisite sculptures also mean that the cost of carving is very large. With so much money and food to engage in these vain things, Lu Miaozi also felt that it was very worthless - in his relationship with Li Qin, after becoming Li Qin's command, he gradually accepted Li Qin's set of ideas.

People-oriented. This is Li Qin's most important idea of governing the country from Dick Si.

"The lord wants to destroy the Buddha in the future?" Lu Miaozi asked in a low voice.

"Destroy the Buddha? That's not true, but I will limit the spread of Buddhism...... Well, you have to put some restrictions on these people, the most critical ...... The income from state taxes must be guaranteed, and in the future, no one in the country, from the emperor to the people, will be allowed to evade taxes and have to pay taxes. You don't want to pay taxes. Hey, then not on my land! Li Qin laughed.

"This ...... I'm afraid this will be resisted by many people! Lu Miaozi was slightly surprised.

"So there must be a suitable excuse." Li Qin said faintly, sighing helplessly.

"Excuses? What excuse? Lu Miaozi was a little puzzled.

"Peace of mind, there will be an excuse soon." Li Qinshen laughed nervously, he looked in front of him, suddenly raised his arm, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" ”

The ranks stopped suddenly, and the soldiers quickly got neat, lined up row to row, column to column, and without Li Qin giving the order to update, they independently lined up the ranks into rectangular lines.

"That's all for today." Li Qin looked at the sky, the sun in the sky was still bright, and it hadn't even arrived at noon, but Li Qin ordered to rest: "Set up camp!" Trench ...... I'll have to test your training. ”

This is Li Qin's statement, and it is also an excuse.

Lu Miaozi looked ahead, and then looked at the silence of Longmen Mountain, thinking a little in his heart, he smiled at Shen Luoyan, and they both understood Li Qin's estimation a little. Shen Luoyan immediately gave an order: "Conduct standard trench training, wire, give me a full set!" ”

"Yes......!" The soldiers of each song moved quickly under the command of the military waiter.

Fighting against the water, three songs, each in charge of one direction, waved the sapper shovel in his hand, and dug up the dust on the ground. The other fifty soldiers, in groups of ten, circled steel wires around the outside of the array, and the steel wire loops were looped, and there were many hooks and thorns on them, and Li Qin's soldiers pulled them apart from the ground, and supported them with a steel rod every other zhang.

The main reason why steel rods are used instead of wooden sticks is that when railways, large industries and other undertakings have not yet been launched, the steel production capacity under Li Qin's command is definitely more than the leftover. In order to consume this excess capacity, Li Qinjun neutralized the rule, and everything that could use steel would never use wood.

Of course, the result of this was to make the burden of Li Qinjun's soldiers much heavier, but because the naval division had always been responsible for transportation in the battles along the Yangtze River, and now after cooperating with the Pegasus Ranch, a large number of pack horses have been obtained, so that this 300-man musket infantry has a full 300 war horses and 50 vans as a means of mobility and transportation.

This is not mechanized, but it is also a proper pack horse. The guarantee of all kinds of materials and mobility is still very effective.

Li Qin's side began to work hard.

In Yique, which was still two miles away from Li Qin, Li Shimin's department was hidden in the edge of the woods, but he was in a slightly incomprehensible irritability.

"Why...... Why hasn't Wu Jun appeared until now? Zhang Shigui, the commander of the Tang Army, was a little puzzled by this. He looked up at the sky, it was hot, and the sun hung high in the sky, although the soldiers under his command kept themselves in shape as much as possible

"Send a light cavalry scout to investigate!" Li Shimin calmly ordered, and then he turned around and asked the senior concubine who was standing beside him: "Fairy Shi, are you sure that Li Qin is out of the city today?" ”

"That's true!" The concubine, who was still dressed in men's clothes, nodded gently: "The amorous son Hou Xibai has passed." I must have given him a little bit of color. ”

"Aren't you worried about this scaring the snake?" Zhang Shigui was surprised.

"Don't be afraid! When he dealt with Hou Xibai, he must have instinctively thought that this was the way we did to him...... He simply could not have imagined that we would ambush him with cavalry. Li Shimin calmly explained for Concubine Xuan: "Ambushing infantry with cavalry in the woods, everyone thinks it's impossible, but we just want to be unexpected." That's how we can achieve amazing results. Surprise, attack unprepared, break into battle and kill the enemy, this is the meaning of the existence of my Xuanjia Army. ”

"Taught!" Zhang Shigui gave up his hand to Li Shimin.

Scouts were dispatched. Soon a message returned: "The enemy army has stopped at the foot of Longmen Mountain, they have dug trenches, pulled up strange iron nets, and I don't know what they are doing." ”

"What?" Listening to the scout's report, all three people in the woods felt strange.

"What the hell are they up to?" Zhang Shigui became more and more puzzled.

"They're not going to find us, are they?" Shi Feixuan proposed this possibility.

"It's not impossible!" Li Shimin frowned slightly, and then stretched out again: "Since this is the case, then we won't play any ambushes." Attack them head-on! My armor iron cavalry, all heavy cavalry, have good protection against bows and crossbows, frontal raids, they will not be our opponents. ”

"That's ......" Zhang Shigui thought for a while, and then nodded heavily: "Although I don't know why the enemy didn't continue to advance, but now, we can't continue to lurk here, it's too hot, and the soldiers won't be able to stand it." ”

"In that case, then I will also inform the warrior monks of the Zen Monastery to get ready." The senior concubine said lightly: "You must take this opportunity to deal a fatal blow to that person who is in the cholera law." ”

"Shi Fairy is at ease...... No one in the world will allow an unruly person to live. Li Shimin nodded, turned his head and motioned for Zhang Shigui to give an order.

Soon, all the cavalry in the dense forest came out. They were dressed in black and black armor, and under the scorching sun, they quickly prepared the formation of the cavalry, and spread out the wide front like a wild goose.

As the most elite cavalry under Li Shimin's command, although they only have a mere 1,000 cavalry, they can show a momentum that is even larger and more dignified than the average army of 10,000 people.

At the moment, they were silent, as quiet as a mountain.

After that, they marched slowly, and their procession was as orderly as a forest of trees.

There is no overly intense action, but it gives a feeling of power.

"What a rare elite soldier in the ages!" Shi Feixuan was amazed by this. After seeing the strength of the Xuanjia soldiers, she felt more and more that her choice was not wrong.

Li Shimin has such a powerful elite soldier, who in the world can resist his soldiers?

"Sure enough, it was the master of the Ming Dynasty that I chose after many considerations. Born and capable...... If such a hero can't unify the world, God really has no eyes. Concubine Xuanmei looked at Li Shimin with burning eyes, and secretly swore in her heart: "For the sake of the sect and all the people in the world, I must assist him to take this country." Whoever else stands in the way of this road, I'm going to knock them down. This is also my spiritual path. ”

Shi Fei Xuan thought about it, and followed Li Shimin's Xuanjia Iron Horse slowly.

Although it was a slow advance, it was a cavalry after all, and it took everyone half an hour to get there after a road of more than three miles.

After that, they stopped and saw all the strange arrangements that Li Qin had made in front of them.

The flat earth was dug up, and the ditches appeared in front of everyone. The ditch is not wide, and it is only three feet to the left and right, but it is very deep - Li Shimin, who was sitting on the war horse, really saw that the soldiers of Li Qinjun were all hidden in the ditch one by one, and there was no figure on the ground from a distance, and some were just moving heads.

"What a job. How long has it been since they dug such a long winding ditch for them? Li Shimin was secretly surprised in his heart.

He felt that this battle was not easy to fight, because he did not see the enemy arrayed in front of him, fighting against him as he thought.

They all hid in ditches...... In a place like that, my bow and arrow are hard to hit.

"What should I do?" Li Shimin frowned.

The enemy is completely different from what he imagined. Facing Li Qin's array, Li Shimin had a feeling that a mouse was pulling a turtle and had no way to start.

"Alas...... Troublesome! Anyway, let's test it! Li Shimin thought, sighed, and waved his hand.
