Chapter 65: Shine

When Empress Xiao and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, were sitting upright on the high platform, Dong Chun, the left body, walked to the front of the stage, speaking in a high voice, as if saying something. It's a pity that the distance is too far to hear clearly.

Li Shimin is smart and can hear clearly, but he is too lazy to bother. What I want to say is just some official words, it is nothing more than the great responsibility of the forbidden army, and everyone needs to be conscientious and diligent in their duties in order to serve the emperor's grace and Yunyun, and there is no nutrition.

But when this finished speaking, not long after Pei Renji, another general of the Weifu took over, Li Shimin had to look sideways, and his face changed slightly.

He heard it clearly just now, and this person said that this time he would draw soldiers from the 12 th Brigade from various departments to practice the battle formation.

Li Shimin subconsciously thought that Yang Jishan and Su Yi were making trouble, but when he turned his eyes, he found that the faces of these two people were also full of stunned.

Obviously, this matter is not expected by these two,

And Pei Renji's words quickly spread among the crowd. Then the nine thousand guards who left and right the Reserve Mansion were all scolded. The captains of the various departments, Yu Hou, were completely unable to suppress them, and even the officers themselves were in a state of flux, scolding and scolding. Even if there were ministers and two generals sitting on it, they had no scruples.

Li Shimin heard with his own ears several colleagues who were also Yu Hou nearby, and scolded together.

"This Pei Renji, he doesn't like us left and right?"

"Xiao Yue still has to practice the formation, what is the reason?"

"I think this guy is just sincere to see us make a fool of ourselves left and right!"

"Will only the 12th Brigade be selected? I don't know which one will be chosen?"

"No matter which one is the same, who will be idle and have nothing to do, will they be in the queue at this time? Anyway, tomorrow, we will prepare the mansion left and right, and we will be the laughing stock in the Eastern Capital, and we will be embarrassed to throw it to grandma's house-"

"Miscellaneous! This is a rebellious remnant, with ill intentions!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. In the past, Pei Renji did serve under Yang Liang, the king of Han, but long before Yang Liang rebelled, this Pei Renji was imprisoned by the latter for persuading Yang Liang. Therefore, this general Zuo Wuwei was deeply appreciated by the Son of Heaven afterwards.

It's too much to say that Han rebels against the rest of the party.

And although the people around him were all surging emotions, the subordinates of the left guard of the Chongwen Pavilion did not have any resentment. Li Shimin asked them to drill the battle formation before, which once attracted the left guard up and down, and they were all resentful. But today, everyone feels lucky. At least even if he is drawn this time, he will not make a fool of himself.

Just as the school field was in a hurry. Dong Chun, the left body on the stage, suddenly snorted coldly, slammed the long sword in his hand to the ground, and made a loud sound. The huge sound wave swept the entire school field in an instant, and all the noise here was suppressed.

"A bunch of bastards!"

When he was scolding, Dong Chun also opened his tiger eyes, and glanced at everyone in the audience with a fierce and pressing gaze: "This school parade battle formation is Your Majesty's will, and it has nothing to do with Zuo Wuwei General Pei Renji. How dare you be presumptuous?"

When Dong Chun said this, he pulled out the sword in his hand by half an inch from the sheath, and the sword body reflected the sunlight, and the cold light shone: "All the relatives and guards listen to the order! If you dare to criticize today, lock it for me immediately and kill it in public!"

So the nine thousand soldiers in the audience were all dumbfounded, as silent as cicadas. If the initiator is Pei Renji, he will naturally be pointed out by them. But since it was His Majesty's own idea, no matter how dissatisfied they were, there was nothing they could do. Coupled with the deterrent power of this left-hand general, it is even more extraordinary.

Although this is not a peerless fierce general like Yujuluo, Mai Tiezhu and Tu Wanxu, but he is also in the forest of supergrades. And it is notoriously ruthless and decisive, once when he was conquest of Yang Liang, the king of Han, he killed the heads of the people, and accumulated great power in the left and right reserve mansions.

Next, many thousands of cattle in this school field were full of helplessness, and they walked together to listen to the training and draw lots.

Then Li Shimin's Chongwen Pavilion left guard, which was unfortunately among them.

The left guard of Chongwen Pavilion is the same as the twelve guards of the government army, although there is also the word 'guard', but in fact, it is only applicable to the title and establishment of the palace, and the personnel are actually equivalent to a brigade that is not satisfied with the formation.

The Great Sui military system has a team of 100 people, and the third team is a brigade, about 320 people, which is under the jurisdiction of the brigade commander. And Li Shimin's Chongwen Pavilion Left Guard has a total of more than 220 soldiers, and only 60% of the strength of the 1st Brigade of the Border Army.

However, because they are forbidden troops in the palace, their official ranks are one level higher than those of the border army. In addition, the armor rate of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion is also extremely high, others are five people in the first armor, one tithe and ten people, but they are one and three people, one tithe and six people, that is, a battle armor, only with the establishment of two auxiliaries. And the level of Division A is generally above that of the border army.

When he received the military order from the imperial platform, Li Shimin could only lead the two hundred and twenty people under his command with a helpless look and walked to the front of the school together. At this time, Na Yang Jishan and Su Yi had no time to gloat, and their faces were already stiff. The men and horses under their command were also drawn by Pei Renji.

Wait until the twelve guards, that is, the twelve brigades, line up together in an array and drive to the front of the school field. The first one to take turn was the Imperial Garden avant-garde led by Yang Jishan.

But the problem is that this man has almost never really performed his duties in the past six months, and all the affairs of the Imperial Garden avant-garde have been handled by the three teams he entrusted to his subordinates. And even in the past two months, after Yang Jishan was forced to hide in the palace, this one spent his time calling friends, playing and gambling money, and he didn't seriously train his subordinates at all.

So the results of this Imperial Garden avant-garde drill formation can also be imagined. After experiencing a change in formation, the more than 200 people of this guard completely dispersed, some of them were left and right, and some of them simply forgot how to change the queue, so they could only stand in place in a daze.

At this time, on the jade platform, Dong Chun, the left-hand general, was pale, and his eyes were staring at Yang Jishan coldly. And even the latter's family background is under the attention of this general at this time, sweating and sweating.

The next few guards were not much better, even if they were the best, they collapsed as a whole after the fourth formation. Su Yi's results are even worse than those of Yang Jishan, and the men and horses under his command can no longer support it after only the first change of formation.

At this time, the entire school field was silent, and all the soldiers who were preparing for the mansion left and right were unbearable to look at and had a somewhat gloating expression.

Several important ministers of the court on the stage, except for Dong Chunqi's blue face, the rest of them all had strange and abnormal faces, while Empress Xiao was stroking her forehead with her hand and a headache.

"Imperial Grandmother!"

After the seventh game, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked with a puzzled face: "Sun Er is puzzled, don't they all say that the forbidden army in the palace is the head of all the armies in the world? ”

He thought about it, but he was still worried about Dong Chun's face, and didn't say the words 'a mess of mud'.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally Xiao Yu, the waiter of the inner history, opened his mouth to explain: "His Royal Highness King Yue doesn't know that the forbidden army needs to be on duty in the palace every day, and there is not much time for training. If you only talk about the combat strength of the armor division, the forbidden army is indeed above the armies, and when the combat skills are tested later, His Highness will know the details. ”

"I see!"

Yang Tong's expression was still calm, but then he saw Su Wei and Yu Shiji and others present, as well as his grandmother Xiao Hou, all began to stare at the audience. He also followed the sight of these people, and saw a forbidden army of more than 200 people had marched to the front of the imperial platform.

Seeing this scene, Yang Tong couldn't help but feel a little refreshed. Although he was young, he already had a reputation for wisdom. At this time, just looking at the queue of this group of people and horses, you can know that the army of this brigade is completely different from before. It's neat and orderly,

"General Dong, I don't know which subordinate this is? Who is in charge? It looks different from before?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Huiyue! This is the left guard of the Chongwen Pavilion, the one who serves as the Yu Waiter, and the one who prepares the right body of the mansion Li Shiminβ€”β€”"

When Dong Chun spoke, his complexion still showed no signs of improvement. Li Shimin's army is subordinate to the Right Reserve Mansion, and has nothing to do with him, the Left Reserve Mansion, who stayed in Luoyang.

"Li Shimin, but the second son of Tang Guofu?"

Yu Shiji glanced thoughtfully at Su Wei on the side, and then chuckled: "It is indeed a top general with many talents." ”

Just when everyone was talking, the left guard of the Chongwen Pavilion in the audience had already begun to practice the formation change according to the instructions of a Qianniu preparation.

The current military formation of the Great Sui is inherited from Wei Xiaokuan, the military god of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The latter is based on the eight formations of Wuhou, creating nine formations such as fish scales, sharp arrows, crane wings, glaives, Fang Yuan, wild goose walking, long snake, chong yoke, and Fang Yuan, and then experienced the improvement of the famous general Han Baohu of the emperor, and set the Korean style nine formations, which have been used in the Sui army to this day.

In addition, there are four formations - the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu Four Formations, two attacks and two defenses, which can be used for small-scale battles or combined in large formations.

The first thing they practiced was the Green Dragon Formation, which was a kind of offensive and defensive formation, with dense guns to deal with the enemies on the left and right; the Vermilion Bird Formation was mainly an assault, paying attention to the coordination of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, and taking aggression like fire as the main purpose; the White Tiger Formation was both offensive and defensive, generally with sword and shield soldiers in front and spearmen in the back; and the Xuanwu Formation, also known as the tortoiseshell array, protected the four sides with a special tower shield, which was conducive to holding on to the spot.

These guards on the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion were still a little apprehensive at the beginning. But after a few formations, as they gradually settled down, the instincts they had trained in the past two months began to gain the upper hand.

The changes in each formation are not only error-free, the formation is strict and meticulous, and between the marches, it also reveals a bit of calmness.
