As soon as the day dawned, Sun Xiangfu was woken up by the noisy sound in the barracks, although the military parade ceremony was held at about ten o'clock in the morning, but it was necessary to prepare in advance, early in the morning, the soldiers were called up by their respective generals, washed, ate breakfast, went to the toilet, fed the horses, etc., and lined up in armor before departure.

Seeing that everyone was arranging their own things in an orderly manner, Sun Xiangfu was relieved, and quickly hit the horse back to the house, here, Li Shimin was also having breakfast, after breakfast, he had to tidy up his costume, Sun Xiangfu himself also had to tidy up his costume, and after eating something casually with everyone, Hongmei and Chuntao helped him put it on.

This outfit is a little different from the second-grade court dress he wore in Chang'an, in fact, that kind of court dress can't be worn out in the summer, even if it's made of silk, with a round neck and narrow sleeves, it can cover all the heat on your body and make you sweat all day long.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu's outfit is more Hu Feng according to the definition of this period.

Green breeches, long riding boots, a straight white shirt ironed by a kettle, the highlight is the large collar flower, a corset waistcoat, a jet-black hat with a slight brim and anti-falling buttons, a full set of later riding clothes.

Previously, it was because he often had to ride a horse in Shanyang, so he called the garment workshop to design it, and after everyone saw it, they found that it was very spiritual to wear it like this, especially when riding a horse, it was very beautiful, so Sun Xiangfu, who was going to ride a lot of horses today, decided to wear it.

After he appeared in this dress, he immediately attracted the attention of Li Chengqian and others, this kind of capable and neat dress looks much more comfortable than their complicated and cumbersome dresses, after looking at it before and after, Li Chengqian wanted to give himself a set, but it was not good for a while, and he had to get it later.

This outfit was not well received by Li Shimin, who he thought was not majestic enough at all. So, under the service of several chamberlains, he put on his dragon robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves and something inside.

This kind of round-necked and narrow-sleeved clothing must have wide shoulders and a thick back, so that it can feel majestic when worn. Therefore, as long as Li Shimin goes out, he will put a layer of gold silk armor on his face that can protect against arrow diseases, and then, in order to increase his prestige, he will also wear a wide shoulder, calculate the weight of these clothes, it is estimated that there are several catties, Sun Xiangfu is only afraid that he will drink too much water in the morning, and he will sweat wildly when he arrives at the scene.

An hour later, everyone is ready, the car set off, at this time, hundreds of thousands of people have already gathered outside the city gate, because today is the bathing day, Sun Xiangfu also specially let people tell the people of the surrounding villages in Shanyang, they can come to the city to watch the ceremony, yes, the pre-built hundreds of meters of the stands, has been full of people, and even the people who have not grabbed the position of the stands, naturally lined up to a long distance on both sides.

"Tell Guo Po that His Majesty is going to the city tower, and the drums will be played."

Several heralds will always follow Sun Xiangfu today, but if he has instructions, they will immediately wave the flag in place, and the herald who locks them in the telescope will immediately tell the command in the flag to the general Guo Po who commanded the scene to carry it out.

When Li Shimin and many princes, concubines, and princesses got down in the carriage, outside the city gate, the earth-shattering drum music sounded.

"Your Majesty, you accept the worship of hundreds of officials in the city, and then take the hundred officials to the city tower, and the drums outside the city almost stop, and you can announce the start of the military parade."

"Well, that's a clever design."

Li Shimin said that, according to Sun Xiangfu's arrangement, he stood on the cement avenue in the city, and after accepting the worship of the hundred officials, he climbed the city tower along the stairs of the city wall, as for Concubine Wei, Concubine Yang, and the princes and princesses except Li Chengqian, they could only go to the city wall to find a place to watch the excitement after the hundred officials, in front of the army, among the royal family, only the emperor and the prince had status, and they were the objects of their loyalty.

"Knock knock, knock knock······"

The momentum of hundreds of big drums can only be thoroughly felt when standing on the head of the city, and when Li Shimin walked up to the city, the emotions of the guests and the people who were shocked by the sound of the drum music had been pushed to the highest point.

However, as Li Shimin stood still, the whole row of banner-bearers on the city wall issued an order, and all the drums stopped together, and those people who were still immersed in the music felt like their hearts were in sudden arrest, and when they saw the starry figure holding the moon on the city wall, they actually had an extremely excited feeling.

The tune of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is played by hundreds of drums and thousands of musicians, and the sound is vibrating for hundreds of miles, making all the people listen to the blood boiling, and some people even shed tears of excitement, this is the charm of music.

"Order, the Tang Emperor's army, the Tang Sixteen Guards, the Tang Anbei Army, the Tang Dynasty's subordinate Xue Yantuo Khanate's Guards, the front of the city, are subject to review."

"Knock, knock, knock······"

After Li Shimin's order, the slow drums began to beat heavily, and they would beat a total of one hundred and eight times, and when the drums stopped, the people saw the cavalry coming from the left side to the city gate.

As the emperor's pro-army, the Xuanjia cavalry is the most well-trained professional military in the Tang Dynasty, and its military appearance and equipment are just an appearance, which shocked the hearts of all the guests who watched the ceremony.

At this moment, Yi Nan, who has already declared himself a minister to the Tang Dynasty, is all glad in his heart, Li Shimin has such an army in hand, no wonder Jieli and Tuli are not his opponents.

And the Murwei, the Yan Ya, the Xia, the Khitan, and other departments, and even the Gaochang prince Ko Zhisheng, at this time also have an intuitive understanding of the military power of the Tang Dynasty, no wonder the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that it can destroy the Turks, it turns out that people really have two brushes.

The characteristics of the Xuanjia cavalry is that the men and horses are equipped with iron armor, and in the state of full uniform, they are like a steel monster, which makes people afraid, the summer sun is very sufficient, the light shines on these iron armors, and they are reflected, and the eyes of the people who are shaking can't be opened, this effect makes the people even more in awe of this army, and their appearance suddenly makes all the Han people present have a sense of pride, unconsciously, their chests and backbones are up.

Five thousand horses in iron armor walked with no hooves, and those who knew the soldiers could see at a glance the intensity of the training of this army, and when their team came to the city gate, the black mace was neatly raised by them.

"Salute!"

The leading general, Dugumou, shouted, all the soldiers slipped their maces, and turned their heads to look at Li Shimin in the direction of the city, while the horses under their crotches were still marching forward rhythmically.

"I have to see the Tang Heavenly Army today, I know why the Tang Dynasty is so strong, Xiao Wang really regrets persuading his father to be a vassal to the Western Turks." Koji couldn't help but sigh.

I don't know who he said this to, anyway, the leaders of several other tribes next to him, such as Murowei and Yao, couldn't say a word with their eyes and mouths wide open at this time, when had they seen such a well-equipped army in the state of half-savages.

When Li Shimin's eyes swept over their expressions, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and then he found that many people in the stands under the city had visions, and many Han people were actually wiping their tears with tears in their eyes.

This is a kind of emotional tears, not sadness, at this moment, their sense of identity with the country has been greatly enhanced. And those Hu herdsmen and ordinary people looked at this army with more awe, worship, and even envy.

Come to think of it, at this moment, they wish they were also part of this army!

After the Xuanjia Army, the sixteen guards led by the generals of the guards appeared one after another, although they were not as equipped with iron armor as the Xuanjia cavalry, but their respective equipment had bright spots, such as crossbow soldiers, chain hammer soldiers, these soldiers that everyone had not seen before, were all mixed in it, these troops, when fighting against the cavalry, but there was a huge lethality, if the guards of the Tang Dynasty were equipped with such troops, it can be seen that their overall combat power is strong.

Then, the second highlight of the parade ceremony came, the Anbei Army was about to play, unlike the big horse riding in front, the Anbei Army came up first with infantry pikemen, and, they dressed up, okay! You've never seen it.

Yishui's green military uniform, trousers, armed belt, and light armor in the upper body vest only protected the key parts, and the hat was a round iron helmet, with a rope buckled underneath, which was very spiritual.

The characteristics of these soldiers are obvious, they are all young, and they are of the same height, whether they are Hu or Han, their faces are cleanly shaved, there is no beard, look at the overall face shape, the difference is not very big, if the spectators know that most of these infantry are Hu people, they will be surprised.

"Salute!"

When the infantry in the first row walked to the gate of the tower with their heads held high, the general who led the team shouted the word 'salute' just like the team in front, and then, an amazing scene appeared.

All the soldiers held their spears diagonally and turned their faces to the walls.

"Bang, bang, bang······"

The soldiers' legs were very straight, and the sound of hard leather boots stepping on the ground sounded neatly, just like the sound of the previous big drum beating, and the phalanx of 3,000 people actually shocked a scene with hundreds of thousands of people with the sound of footsteps.

In the formation of the left guards who were already standing under the city wall, Feng Zhidai sighed, no wonder Sun Zhengming dared to say last night that he would be in the limelight again today! This scene is indeed too stylish.

On the city wall, when Li Shimin saw this army, his eyes also lit up, and many ministers who watched the ceremony in the city couldn't help but express their admiration.

Then, the show did not end, but the climax was repeated, and the next one appeared in the infantry, sword and shield phalanx, and another 3,000 people, who passed in front of the city gate with the same neat steps and saluted Li Shimin.

If it weren't for the fact that the people didn't dare to make noise, now, it is estimated that they would cheer loudly, because there is a shield to cover up some of the unequal figures, this whole army looks like a knife cut, not that they are really as neat as the soldiers of our country in later generations, but in this era, it is already Qi can no longer be Qi.
