Chapter 553: Turning the Tide
Before Chen Liang could climb the city tower, Zhang Wenbo finally gathered his men and officially went to the imperial city for inspection.
Seeing the cavalry army in the distance slowly coming from a distance, Cao Ziwen's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. Although he was late, he still came, and he didn't lose Dayan's face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my Dayan cavalry has not been formed for a long time, please give me a lot of advice." Cao Ziwen turned his face to look at the messenger behind him, and his tone was much more modest.
When Cao Ziwen turned his face, his eyes suddenly widened. The cavalry army below looked like they had come to be reviewed, and it was more like a group of remnants of the defeated generals. Some of them struggled to lie on their horses, some tried desperately to straighten their backs, and some simply tied themselves to their horses with ropes, which was a mess that made people stab. Those cavalrymen could not control their horses, and they walked forward without any queue, and they were not in shape in groups, they were simply bandits.
The surrounding people also looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, unable to say a word, let alone cheer for them. The people at the head of the city looked at the scene in front of them and did not know what to say. Dayan's officials were even more embarrassed and embarrassed, and they all wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Smack!" Cao Ziwen, who was still proud just now, clearly felt that someone slapped him in the face, making his old face red.
"Haha......" When they saw a few cavalry horses slipping and falling to the ground, the Khitan envoys finally couldn't help it, laughed loudly, and their faces were full of mockery.
The Khitans can do such an rude thing without civilization and etiquette, but these Han envoys from Qi State can't do it. They also wanted to laugh, but they all endured it, and it was very hard to endure, and their faces were more wonderful than the other. But I was also relieved in my heart, Dayan's army was simply a joke. They didn't plan to carefully measure Dayan's military strength anymore, because it was completely unnecessary.
Cao Ziwen's face was dark, and the blood in his heart rushed to his head, he thought that he had the idea of killing those envoys with his own hands. He wants to turn his face and leave now, saving himself a shame here. But he knew that if he really left now, he would really lose face, and he could only take all his anger out on the cavalry army below. A pair of extremely gloomy eyes, eager to swallow all the people below.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" As they walked through the imperial city, there was a sparse and weak shout from the cavalry.
They might as well not shout, listening to their voices, Cao Ziwen simply felt that he was ridiculing himself. He never dreamed that the cavalry, whom he had always hoped for, would give him the loudest slap in the face.
Sure enough, after listening to the chanting of the cavalry army, the envoys of various countries behind Cao Ziwen burst into chuckles again, and this time even Jin Zhenghui, the envoy of Qi State, couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Wenbo, who was in the lead, could clearly feel Cao Ziwen's angry gaze, and he walked forward with a hard head, his heart was cold. He knows that after today, not only will his career be over, but it will be up to him whether he can save his life. He only hopes that Cao Ziwen can spare his family now. He really regretted it incomparably, regretted not listening to Qin Forget, if he carried out targeted cold-resistant training for his cavalry, today would definitely be a different scene, and it would definitely be a matter of adding officials to knighthood. Now every step is so difficult, like a thorn in his back, just a few hundred steps away, he feels that more than a hundred years have passed.
No matter how difficult this road was, Zhang Wenbo still finished walking, and he felt a cold sweat all over his body. Seeing that the cavalry Second Army and the Third Army behind him, as well as the Royal Forest Army, the Zhendong Army, and the Zhennan Army were similar to him, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since everyone is like this, the law does not blame the public, maybe it is not so bad.
But he was doomed to disappointment, and not everyone was as wasteful as he was. The Zhenxi Army that came over was very good. The Zhenxi Army has always been large
Led by Zhang Ye, the god of the Yan army, he has always been the most elite of the four towns in Beijing. They lined up in a neat formation, and the queue was not as strict as Qin Wang's Zhenbei army, but it was also the highest level of the Dayan army, a full five hundred people, not one of them was left behind, and they walked towards the imperial city with majesty and vigor. These are Zhang Ye's veterans of a hundred battles, although they are not good-looking, but they are murderous and moving.
"Okay, the Zhenxi Army is mighty! Long live Dayan! Seeing that a decent army finally came out, the people of Dayan finally cheered, maybe because they were too embarrassed just now, and the people were as weak as the Zhendong army.
Seeing the performance of the Zhenxi Army, Cao Ziwen's face finally looked better, and he felt that he had regained some face.
is worthy of being my Great Yan Military God, and he is reliable at critical moments.
Cao Ziwen was full of gratitude to Zhang Ye at this moment, and he was determined to reuse Zhang Ye.
"Your Majesty the Respected Emperor Dayan, if your country's army is like this, the envoy thinks that we don't need to waste time here, today's joke is very happy." It was very cool to step on Cao Ziwen, and the Khitan envoy Yelu Buhua said deliberately.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's go back." Kim Jong-hye also said with a smile.
Behind them is the Khitan State and the other is the Qi State, both of which Cao Ziwen cannot easily offend, and they naturally do not give Cao Ziwen face. The envoys of the Jin State and the Chu State are different, the national strength of the Jin State is not much stronger than that of the Yan State, the Chu State has always valued peace, and they made a fortune in a muffled voice, they just laughed, and did not offend Cao Ziwen to death. What is surprising is that Dongying Ping Qingsheng, the envoys of small countries, are actually full of arrogance and disdain.
Cao Ziwen had a dark face and was a little moved in his heart, he didn't want to continue to be embarrassed here, and he wanted to turn his face and leave, but before he could turn around, he heard a rumbling sound, and even the city tower shook.
"Thunder?" Cao Ziwen raised his head strangely, how could there be thunder in the winter?
"Your Majesty, look!" Chen Liang suddenly reminded him with a trembling voice.
He looked into the distance, his eyes widened at once, and the man took a step forward, his hands clinging to the cold walls.
"Sonorous! Sonorous! Sonorous! A very rhythmic voice came, and Cao Ziwen clearly saw a black army coming like a mountain.
They were also five hundred people, and the phalanx was neat and tidy, like tofu blocks. A black and shiny standard step armor weighed sixty pounds, and the visor had been pulled down, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, giving people a gloomy feeling. The most surprising thing is their formation, which is a line when viewed horizontally and vertically, and all the movements look almost like one person, God knows how they do it.
With shields in their left hand and swords in their right, they marched with their legs high and then fell down so hard that they trampled the snow on the ground and splashed it everywhere. The sound of heavy footsteps in unison was like a heartbeat that could respond to people's hearts, and the shocked people were speechless.
Everyone present had never seen such an army, and in their hearts, the Zhenxi Army just now was a normal elite army, but how did this army come to be and how it was trained, it looked really powerful.
Walking in front of the imperial city, Qin Wang, who was walking in front, suddenly drew his knife and raised his head high.
"Bang!" There was a neat sound of drawing knives, and five hundred long knives suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, and the cold light reflected on the long knives made the stabbing person unable to open his eyes. The light of the long knife was reflected on the black armor, and a cold murderous aura rose to the sky.
Qin Wang's long knife pointed forward again.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the long knives of the five hundred soldiers slapped on the shields, which was deafening.
"Long live my emperor!" Then came the shouting in unison.
"Boom!" Swords and shields strike again.
"Hooray!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "Sword and shield three
Batter.
"Hooray!"
The first army in the north of the town came to this hand, and everyone realized that the military parade could still be played like this.
Everyone was fascinated, carried away, shocked, and hung on everyone's faces.
"The Zhenbei Army is mighty!" After a long time, I don't know who suddenly shouted.
"The Zhenbei Army is mighty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Everyone shouted in unison, and tens of thousands of people had a feeling of bad breath in their hearts, and they shouted loudly and heartily.
"Good! Good! Good! Cao Ziwen's face was flushed with excitement, he patted the city wall hard, and shouted three good words.
"A few noble envoys, is my Dayan army still strong?" He turned his face haughtily away and asked again the same sentence that had been asked at the beginning of the parade.
Qin Wang's hand also shocked Yelu Buhua, Kim Zhenghui and others, and they were still immersed in shock, their eyes full of jealousy. No one thought that Dayan would have such a strong army, they didn't think it was just a show, they were all soldiers, and they could see at a glance whether they had combat effectiveness or not. Hearing Cao Ziwen's question, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing them deflated, Cao Ziwen laughed heartily and walked down with his head held high.
"Li Xiang, what do you think of Qin Wang's move?" Deliberately leaving Cao Ziwen far away, Wen Man looked at Li Cheng'an and asked with palpitations.
"I really didn't expect Qin Forget to have such a ability." Li Chengan let out a long sigh, his tone was full of complexity, "I don't know if his tens of thousands of Akagi are like this, if they are the same, then his strength will be too terrifying." ”
"Could it be just a showcase? He has only been in charge of the Zhenbei Army for two months, and there has been such a big change? Wen Man asked suspiciously.
"Definitely not a show." Li Chengan shook his head and said, "Wen Xiang doesn't know soldiers, I can tell you very responsibly that his five hundred people will not be worse than General Zhang's five hundred people, or even stronger." ”
"Really?" Wenman exclaimed.
"It's true!" Li Chengan nodded solemnly, "This is what is terrible about him, at a young age, his ability to lead troops is actually a few points stronger than that of the Great Yan Military God, it is incredible." Who the hell is this kid? Demons can't be successful? ”
"It is not an accident that he can be where he is today." Wen Man sighed, "This time he really showed his face, today His Majesty suffered a day's anger, and he easily regained his face, Your Majesty still has to spoil him to the sky?" ”
"Hmph, if you want to blame Zhang Wenbo, they are all waste!" Li Chengan snorted coldly, "On such an important occasion today, I actually messed things up, it's just a waste." ”
"You can't blame them." Wen Man sighed, "Who would have thought that a small cold-resistant training could be so important, when the emperor ordered to train according to the method given by Qin Wang, we didn't take it seriously, and the result was not to shoot ourselves in the foot." ”
"Wen Xiang, this matter is in the past, we have to stop the loss in time." Li Chengan was a little less angry at this time, "Zhang Wenbo, they will definitely be dismissed, and the prime minister is worried that His Majesty will make a fuss about this matter tonight and take the opportunity to take back the military power of the four towns." ”
"Yes, this time the Zhenxi Army and your Zhenbei Army performed very well, there should be no problems. The prime minister is also worried that His Majesty will attack the Zhendong Army and the Zhennan Army. When the time comes, we must join hands to strongly oppose it. "The Zhennan Army is Wenman's force, and he naturally supports this matter.
"Okay, although you and I have been fighting for life and death for so long, we don't want Your Majesty to become bigger, and this matter will definitely help you." Li Chengan nodded and agreed, "I can't deal with Qin Forget this time, he is a saint, and it is really unwise to deal with him now." ”
"That's right." Wen Man nodded, "Let's inform the Khitan and Dongying people separately, and this matter will end here." ”
