Due to a proposal by Sun Xiangfu, several generals who presided over the reading changed the battle array team to a simple square array team to be reviewed, but don't underestimate the training ability of the ancients, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who can recruit and fight are also very neat when they walk in line, plus they are wearing thick armor, as soon as they appear, the people on both sides of the street who are watching will be numb and scream.

Of course, the reason why there is such a shocking feeling is because the first to appear is the Xuanjia cavalry, which is Li Shimin's trump card descendant troops, the number is not much, only 3,000 people, but everyone is wearing iron armor covering the whole body, including the horses they ride have a ramming shield and iron armor, it is a heavy cavalry class that can wipe everything out on the battlefield, they only need to walk around easily on the wide Suzaku Street, and the cold light reflected by those armor and cavalry guns can make the onlookers feel a burst of murderous aura.

Followed by the Xuanjia cavalry is 10,000 light cavalry, said to be light cavalry, in fact, it is not light, because they are all wearing new cotton armor, although it does not look like that kind of cold and shining murderous aura, but it makes people feel thicker than the Xuanjia cavalry, no way, the cotton armor is thick, and it is big to wear!

This is the first large-scale appearance of cotton armor in front of people, many businessmen from neighboring countries, or spies who are interested in planting in Datang to spy on military intelligence, pay special attention to them, especially from the direction of Shuozhou, who are already comparing their own cavalry with the combat power of this cavalry, the reason why Liang Shidu dared to rebel is precisely because he has a cavalry force of more than 8,000 people in his hands, and before Jieli was not defeated in Guanzhong, Li Shimin really had nothing to do with his 8,000 cavalry.

But now the situation is different, not counting Li Jing took away 5,000 cavalry to the Western Regions, Chang'an still has at least 30,000 cavalry available, and there are nearly 100,000 war horses in reserve, the victory in that battle made Li Shimin's family foundation much thicker than in history, so the Shuozhou spies who saw these cavalry were depressed.

The cavalry was followed by the infantry, first the heavy armor Mo swordsmen, then the cotton armor spear shield hand, the round shield Pu knife jumping soldiers, the crossbowmen pushing the crossbows, the archers with bows and arrows on their backs, all kinds of troops followed in formation, and when they walked to the main gate of the imperial city where the emperor was located, they would knock on the shield, or cuirass, and signal to the emperor at the head of the city.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with this new way of parading troops, because he saw the color of awe in the eyes of the people and ministers who watched the ceremony, and he liked this kind of awe very much.

Of course, there is an exception, that is, Li Chengqian, who was beside Li Shimin, did not show the slightest awe, but stretched his neck and looked at the back of the team.

The crown prince was deliberately placed at the back by him, in order to finally stand in line, their position was right at the main gate of the imperial city.

Of course, what he didn't expect was that at this time, those six-rate soldiers and horses with big drums tied around their waists, saffron on their chests, and even trombones in their hands were seen as jokes by the people of Chang'an, because their temperament was a little different from the murderous team in front of them, which was mainly reflected in this equipment.

There are such festive soldiers dressed up!

Finally, Li Chengqian saw the six-led soldiers and horses at the end of the team, and excitedly said to the inner attendant on the side, "Quick, take the lonely red tassel gun." ”

After saying that, he turned to Li Shimin and said, "Father, the sons and daughters want to present a military song to our Tang Dynasty soldiers." ”

"Military songs? Is that what you tinkered with in the East Palace recently? Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.

"Exactly, the sons will not disappoint their fathers." Li Chengqian said confidently.

"Okay, I'll see what you play, and if the generals aren't satisfied with the song you offered, I won't allow you to play with the music anymore." Looking at Li Chengqian's appearance, Li Shimin is not easy to hit him, how could Li Shimin not know what he did in the East Palace, but he had heard that song, and it should be harmless in this chorus.

With Li Shimin's permission, Li Chengqian quickly ran down the city wall, and after a while, several chamberlains had already lifted a red carpet staircase platform to the outside of the doorway, at this time, the guards and horses were also standing on the streets on both sides of the imperial city, and the prince was at the main gate of the imperial city, taking this red carpet platform as a reference point, and stood in formation.

Although there was no on-site rehearsal, when I was in the East Palace, everyone was arranged based on this platform, and the scene was not chaotic.

Just when the people in the distance and the ministers on the tower of the city were surprised that the prince was doing something, they saw Li Chengqian, who was dressed in a small cotton armor, holding a wooden red tassel gun and walking up to the high platform in front of the doorway.

"Lonely, Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, uses this song to represent the prince six to lead the army to show his will to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

After that, the red tassel gun in Li Chengqian's hand began to shake up and down, and as his red tassel gun began to shake, hundreds of soldiers with big drums tied to their waists behind him, or musicians wearing military uniforms, began to beat the drum in small pieces, although the drum was broken, but it was very neat, and the trombone also sounded at this time.

Only then did everyone know that the prince was using a red tassel gun to direct the entire army to play.

"We, the soldiers, we, the soldiers, the soldiers, the soldiers."

After the prelude, when more than 10,000 people roared out a tune together, the momentum of the sound suddenly shook the heavens and the earth, and at this time, the cowhide drums erected on both sides of the team also sounded at the same time.

"What is different about us soldiers, just because we all wear simple military uniforms.

What is different about us soldiers, since I left my hometown, it is difficult to see my father and mother.

It's different, but it's actually the same, it's all the same thing, it's all the years of youth, and they're all hot-blooded.

It's different, but it's actually the same, the same footprints are left, the mountains are high and the waters are long. ”

Li Chengqian, like the soldiers on the high platform, sang with the green tendons on his neck bursting out, and after listening to this paragraph, everyone knows what the starting point of his song is.

That is to say, an ordinary soldier speaks straightforwardly and anyone can understand it, but these few simple and unpretentious sentences make the image of a soldier taller.

"We are soldiers, but we are different, with our heads resting on the bright moon at the border, and our bodies covered in rain, snow, wind and frost.

We soldiers are different, for the sake of national tranquility, we hold the guns in our hands.

It's different, but it's actually the same, they are all longing for glory and glory.

It's different, but it's actually the same, the same brilliance is flying on the dragon flag of Datang. ”

I don't know why, hearing this song, those battle-hardened iron-blooded soldiers felt their eyes moisten.

"This song is too uplifting for our soldiers." Cheng Yanjin wiped a handful of old tears.

A few simple and straightforward lyrics actually woke up the picture of climbing ice and snow at the border pass in his mind, Wei Chigong was not much better than him, Rong Ma has experienced too many wars in his life, and if he didn't have the belief to protect his family and defend the country, he would not have been able to hold on for a long time.

"We soldiers ······"

Li Chengqian didn't plan to end it all at once, and he could sing it twice in a row to arouse everyone's emotions.

As a result, more soldiers were brought to tears by this song, and finally, when Li Chengqian's red tassel gun stopped, everyone felt unfinished.

"Datang Wansheng~"

Li Chengqian shouted, and the soldiers led by the prince exhaled their slogans neatly at the same time, and the soldiers who lined up on both sides were also driven to shout this slogan together.

"Datang Wansheng ······"

Several times in a row, more than 100,000 soldiers found a neat rhythm and shouted together.

However, no one knew that the soldiers' emotions were very exaggerated, and hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people who came to watch the ceremony also began to shout.

"Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng ······"

Hundreds of thousands of people shouted, and the sound resounded throughout Chang'an.

Many people were excited to hear this voice, and of course, there were also people who heard the cry of unity, and their faces were like earth.

"Li Tang's climate has been established and cannot be subverted."

In a corner of the city, a richly dressed man exchanged glances with several other people who also knew that they were extremely wealthy by their appearance.

Of course, there are also students like the Wa Kingdom who were sent by Li Shimin to study in various universities in Chang'an, in the Wa Kingdom, they have never seen more than 100,000 well-equipped troops, and felt this incomparable military might, they have already made up their minds in their hearts, they must inform their families, and they must not let the emperor and the Tang Emperor be enemies.

This is the benefit of deterrence by force, which can dispel the bad intentions of some wavering people, make the country more stable, the people feel at ease, and the rule of officials is clearer, and the country's development will be smooth.

Li Chengqian not only did not disappoint Li Shimin this time, but also gave him a big surprise, this kind of sound of Chang'an's grand scene, so that the Tang Dynasty, at least the people of Chang'an, have a lot of sense of identity with the country of Datang, this sense of identity is a kind of people's will, the people's will, why worry about Li Tang's unstable country.

Li Chengqian, who was excited, hurriedly ran to the city wall, he still couldn't get rid of the child's heart, and after finishing things, he wanted to get praise from his parents.

This time, Li Shimin did not disappoint him, laughed and praised, "Cheng Qianwu'er dedicates this song well, and he should be rewarded." ”

If it weren't for the praised Li Chengqian, who was praised, he would have danced in front of many princes and ministers, but at this moment he suddenly thought of the person in the prison who taught him to sing this song, and he was still wearing heavy shackles at the moment!

So, Li Chengqian bowed his hand to Li Shimin and said, "The son doesn't want any reward, just ask my father to pardon Sun Zhengming, the music teacher of the son." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face changed, and he remembered the situation of Sun Xiangfu reported to him by the secret guards in the past few days, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, since this song was composed by that kid, it can be seen that he likes the army very much, then I will give him a chance, this expedition, let him be a pawn under Mao Gong!" If he comes back alive, I will forgive him. ”

"Hah! Father, you want to confiscate him! When Li Chengqian heard this, his face was bitter, and he held his mouth.

"Hmph, the country is discredited by the world, how can I spare him so easily, I will let Mao Gong look at him, and treat him the same as death row prisoners, unless he is in battle, his shackles cannot be removed." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and walked under the palace wall, the parade ceremony is not over yet, he will continue to complete the next steps.
