The afternoon sun is the most vicious, but, can't resist the mood of people watching the lively, the vendors are smart, such a hot day, iced sour plum soup, honey ice sticks, etc., are easy to sell very much, in the city, many small vendors push these things to the martial arts field not far from the city.

Now, Shanyang has a workshop specializing in making ice, wholesale this kind of frozen products to traders at a low price, as long as the people in the city are not lazy, they can earn a dollar or two, almost just pull to the place, make a station, you can sell all the things.

This is the virtuous circle brought about by good economic conditions, some people consume, some people make money, those who make money consume again, and the original consumers earn it back, the money rolls in the market, and everyone enjoys what they want.

In the case of hot and dry weather, the time for martial arts exercises should not be too long, the first round is the Xuanjia Army charging demonstration, in front of this kind of heavy cavalry, what kind of straw man, wooden man and the like, it is too not enough to see, Su Dingfang prepared for them, directly dozens of earthen walls more than a foot thick.

After Li Shimin and a cadre of civil and military ministers sat down in the pergola set up, the martial arts session was immediately announced to begin, in order to achieve the political goal of making the tribes of Murowei and Yan Ya surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu arranged their viewing seats in the position closest to the earthen wall, if there is no accident, wait a while, this will also be the position of the vertical target.

"Woo~"

The horn of the Xuanjia Army's charge was sounded, and under a burst of fine iron cold light, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded on the field with the trembling of the earth, and many herdsmen who often saw the migration and running scenes of 10,000 cattle and sheep on the grassland were all moved by this sound, and their hearts beat wildly.

Soon, the forward of the team approached a wall of earth, and the knight who led the team danced with a mace in his hand, but he did not want to smash the first wall of earth, but reminded the knights in the back row to stagger their positions, and then, in the next scene, the scene of the ironclad war horse rushing straight to the earthen wall appeared.

"Boom ······"

The dust was flying, and the running war horses, relying only on the power of inertia, smashed the first wall into pieces, and then, the mace in the hands of the first column of knights smashed on the second earthen wall, and at the moment of collision, the first two earthen walls were directly destroyed and smashed into slag.

However, the cavalry with such strong brute force did not just rely on brute force when fighting, the knights in the first row, after waving the mace in their hands, immediately began to slowly turn the horse's head to the right, because with the impact of the first wall, their horse speed has dropped, although the chest of the war horse has a thick shield collision angle, but the continuous collision is also easy to cause damage to the internal organs of the war horse, not when the actual soldier is fighting, there is no need for this.

At this time, on the left side of the first column of knights, the second column of Xuanjia cavalry, which was still running at high speed, crashed into the third wall and collapsed the fourth wall.

"The Xuanjia cavalry is so heavily armed, and it is still easy to control, it is really the strongest army in the world."

Li Jing is not the commander of the Xuanjia cavalry, in fact, except for Li Shimin, no one can be the official commander of this army, like Dugumou, Chang He, Li Junxian and other Qianniuwei generals, they are sometimes temporarily commanded, and after completing a specific task, they will immediately hand over the order.

To be able to get such a high praise from Li Jing, Li Shimin's face is colorful, and he doesn't need to look at the situation behind him to know that the Xuanjia cavalry will break through these dozens of earthen walls, and it will definitely not be more than a cup of tea, and if they are facing the enemy cavalry, the kung fu of this cup of tea, the death in their hands, it is possible to have thousands of people, if the impact is infantry, it is even more difficult to say, the formation of 350,000 infantry may be directly charged by these 5,000 heavy cavalry.

Broken clods of earth flew up, and some even flew directly to the vicinity of the pergola, Koji Zhisheng, Mohefer, Asu Lang and others all subconsciously made some dodge moves, and the look of horror on their faces could not be concealed.

Don't think that they are not afraid of death in the state of semi-savages, under the impact of such strong cavalry, they don't think that the walls of their tribe or the walls of their kingdom can hold them back.

Moreover, being shocked by this devastating picture, let their minds think about things other than the battle for a while, if Datang really wants to use swords against them, the difficulty is not to attack the fortifications, but how to send their own troops to fight thousands of miles away, among which the food and grass consumables and supplies are the problems faced by Datang, the real head-to-head confrontation, they in the state of semi-savages, where are they qualified to compare with the heavily armed Tang Army!

In terms of the current actual situation, in terms of tactics, tactics, equipment, and other aspects, Datang's level of civilization has surpassed them by more than one level.

Unlike Yi Nan's feeling of being more and more happy in his heart, several tribal leaders who have not yet surrendered to the Tang Dynasty have no resistance to surrendering to the Tang Dynasty at this moment, because this is the belief of the semi-savages in their grassland, as well as the white mountains and black waters, worshipping the strong and walking in the footsteps of the strong is their tradition.

Not only these tribal leaders, but also the people watching from the border line not far away, after the Xuanjia cavalry broke the earthen wall and regrouped, they launched a tsunami of cheers.

The Han people of Datang will be proud of having such a strong army, and the herdsmen and people under the command of Datang will be submissive, and because Datang has such a strong army, they feel that their happy life has an extra layer of security.

Of course, such a cool show can also play a lot of benefits, for example, tens of thousands of Hu soldiers in the Anbei Army have also increased their sense of identity and loyalty to Datang a lot at the moment, and these identities are all slowly formed through similar things, as long as Datang remains the strongest, there will not be so many bad things.

The generals of the guards are not stunned young people like Sun Xiangfu, they know that while showing their own characteristics, they highlight the emperor's power, and only by making the emperor feel that he is stronger than you, he will not suspect you.

Therefore, the military exercises of the Sixteen Guards in the back are either riding and shooting targets, or light cavalry charging into formation, chopping straw men, and wooden stakes, or directly the performance of fancy cavalry running and changing formations, showing their generals' ability to control cavalry command, all have their own characteristics, and their momentum is not weak, but this situation makes Su Dingfang, who is sitting next to Sun Xiangfu, call these generals to slip their heads, and whether their Anbei Army will be closed when they will play later.

Sun Xiangfu doesn't have such an awareness at all, or if he has, but he doesn't want to hide, completing political tasks is his goal, and he doesn't have to rely on leading troops to fight in order to gain a foothold in the court's generals, so he doesn't have so many scruples at all, so he refused Su Dingfang's request, and after that, he can also be wronged by this fierce general to sit on the cold bench in the military with him.

"General Su, the next one is ours, ask the sons and daughters to show their strongest level and show the prestige of our Anbei Army, this is an order and a political task."

Even if he was a little reluctant, but with the order of the gods, Su Dingfang couldn't say anything, and after getting up and leaving the ranks, he walked towards the assembly place of the Anbei Army, and at this time, on the field, all kinds of straw man stakes were replaced with new ones again.

"One-two-one, one-two-one······"

A group of almost 3,000 soldiers took the lead in running to the position of the straw man's arrow target with a longbow on their backs, and the formation was unfolded, and on their backs, each had two pots of arrow shafts without arrows, and the top of the arrow shafts was stained with white lime.

"Hey, you Anbei Army, you are going to stage a real soldier training!"

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at Sun Xiangfu not far away.

"That's natural, all the generals like to play false, and our Anbei Army just has some real skills to come out and stimulate them." Sun Xiangfu is very confident.

Soon, the cavalry commander Abu Tusi finished the formation, and at the sound of a whistle, 5,000 cavalry launched an assault on the target position with 3,000 archers.

"Elevation four, burst shots."

When the cavalry was still more than 300 steps away from the target position, the captain in charge of the command on the target position gave the order to shoot.

Li Shimin, who was quite knowledgeable about military affairs, shook his head when he heard the order given by this captain, although he didn't understand what the captain shouted 'Elevation Four' meant, but he knew that even if these soldiers were strong men who could shoot a three-stone bow, this arrow would not be able to shoot three hundred paces away, and moreover, it would have to complete a continuous fire.

However, in the next moment, he was dumbfounded, not only him, but also the Great General Zhuwei who was seated.

For the arrows fired by the longbowmen had indeed flown far away, and they were about to shoot at the galloping cavalry.

At this moment, they have not noticed that there is a problem with the longbow in the hands of these longbowmen, on both ends of the bowstring, there are pulley sets, this kind of pulley sets, can greatly help the archers save the strength to start work, and they are not equipped with three-stone bows, but two-stone bows, the reason why they can shoot to the range of the cavalry is because the commander of the school has already roughly calculated the speed of the cavalry's running, they only need to shoot the arrows to a position of about one hundred and fifty paces, which can just ensure that the landing point of the arrows can hit the forefront of the cavalry.

However, just when everyone thought that these charging cavalry were about to be hit by arrows, a scene that made everyone even more stunned appeared, under the whistle of Abu Tusi, these five thousand cavalry actually used a stirrup to hide at the same time, locked together, and at the same time, took off a round shield hanging from the victory hook, and protected their bodies tightly.

The running horses had face armor and shields on their chests, and all of a sudden, the arrows hit these shields with a clanging sound, but there were not a few people who looked like they had been hit by arrows dyed with white lime.

"This riding skill is really good."

Li Jing couldn't help but praise, the cavalry that can shoot from a distance without fear of dense bows and arrows is definitely a strong army, because once those archers are approached by the cavalry, they will definitely be slaughtered.

Moreover, the archers at these target positions are also strong troops, because they have more than half a year of professional training, the timing of the design is accurate, the landing point is perfect, and they can really complete the burst with the longbow in their hands.
