Chapter 671: Elite
The emperor's birthday is very lively, tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops celebrate it, and cheer it up with a unique sword salute ceremony. \.\ (plain text.) Li Longji had no choice but to admire his own creativity and means, and chose to parade on the 15 August long festival to get twice the result with half the effort. What an honor to be able to participate in the birthday party of the supreme leader! Why worry that the soldiers don't scream and kill the enemy?
In the autumn wind, in the west of Luoyang City, the flags are fluttering, the swords and guns are numerous, the armor is distinct, and the majestic atmosphere infects the world and shocks people's hearts.
A total of 80,000 horses from the left and right Yulin Army, the left and right Dragon Martial Army and the left and right Shenwu Army performed magnificently, and the dense phalanx formed by tens of thousands of people made the citizens who came to play soy sauce sigh and praise.
Between the west 'gate' of the imperial city and the tens of thousands of people outside the city, the first force to pass through was the representative of the mighty Shenwu army, composed of five hundred 'elite' sharp horsemen, these 'elite' sharp soldiers who rotated from the border army were murderous, the order was forbidden, and the movements were neat and uniform.
When the five hundred horsemen passed through the center of the city 'gate', the Tang sword was raised high, and the collective erupted: the Tang Dynasty will win! Your Majesty is mighty!
The roar was loud and earth-shattering, and the audience was moved and excited.
"How? Are my guards worthy of war? ”
On the city wall, Li Longji was complacent.
The question caused a lot of compliments and admiration from the important ministers, and Li Huaitang stood between everyone, only laughing and saying nothing.
The best is yet to come. It's a horse or a mule, you can know when you pull it out and walk it. This walk, the strength of the high and the low is judged.
The three troops of the Northern Expedition were all guards directly under the emperor's direct jurisdiction, and the combat effectiveness of the Shenwu cavalry was the strongest; followed by the Longwu Army, which was adapted from Wanqi, and attracted attention because of the joining of thousands of soldiers under the command of Wu Zhiyi who participated in the Bohai Campaign; The second is the Yulin Army, this force has the largest number of people, up to more than 30,000, all of them are father and son soldiers in the Guanzhong area, aiming to eat the emperor's food, from their assembly speed, arrangement formation and momentum performance, it can be seen that they usually lack training, it is okay to scare civilians with a knife, and when it comes to the battlefield, Li Huaitang is confident that a thousand horsemen can deal with them. {Leaderboard.}
Li Huaitang didn't understand why the old emperor wanted to bring such a "tofu army" to the battle. The soldier is not expensive, the military god Li Jing used 10,000 people to break the Turks, and his disciple Xue Rengui set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows and only tens of thousands of people, and the object of this battle is the people on horseback, the Yulin Army is not a cavalry army, the role is limited, and a lot of food resources have to be consumed, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Maybe the emperor pays attention to pomp and circumstance, there are many people and great strength, and it can play a role in strengthening courage without fightingOther book friends are watching: officialdom.
Li Huaitang was thinking that the representatives of the Yulin Army really responded to his speculation and dropped the chain at the critical moment.
100 people 'shoot', 5 out of 10, and similarly, the spear buttress only barely passes.
The old emperor's face was covered with black lines. Chen Xuanli, the new commander of the Yulin Army, was sweating profusely......
The appearance of the Shenwu Army somewhat saved face, and the 'shooting' and slashing of the hundred cavalry were 'fine' and effective, winning the applause of the audience. The 'elite' elite of the Tang Dynasty border army, which has been tempered for thousands of years, is not a vegetarian.
The brilliance ran back to Li Longji's old face.
"Wang Zhonghei deserves to be my Zhou Yafu!"
Happy, Li Longji gave a high evaluation to Wang Zhonghe, the former general of the Shenwu Military Palace. Zhou Yafu, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Jing took him as the pillar of the humerus, and governed the army rigorously, but it was a pity that the merit was high and the master, and the 'sexuality' was unruly and untamed and died at the hands of Emperor Jing. Li Longji was comparable to Zhou Yafu with Wang Zhonghei, and he just wanted to explain Comrade Wang's ability, and he neglected Zhou Yafu's fate.
Historically, Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Yafu's experiences are extremely similar, with high achievements and heavy troops, and in the end, Wang Zhongsi could not escape the fate of becoming a victim of the emperor's 'tricks' of power.
Wang Zhongsi has made great achievements in recent years, and his promotion has been rapid, and when Li Longji had the heart to conquer himself, he secretly transferred him back to the Luoyang Shenwu Army, and was promoted to the general in front of the palace, responsible for training.
Wang Zhonghei has a good way of governing the army, employing people only by talent, and has promoted a group of young generals, such as Lai Yao and others who have been 'mixed' in Anxi and have a proud record, as well as veterans from the poor who have no background represented by Zuo Qinglong, etc., at the same time, under his leadership by example, the proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Shenwu Army and the gentlemen who 'mixed' eat quickly blended together, perhaps the overall combat ability needs to be improved, but on the issue of military discipline, it is indeed impeccable and difficult to make the latest chapter list.
"Your Majesty's Shenwu Cavalry is really at stake, I don't know how it compares to Ning Yuan's Iron Cavalry?"
Yang Guifei, who felt that she was not interested for a long time, suddenly asked, and glanced at Li Huaitang with charming eyes. Perhaps the questioner has no intention, but the listener has a heart, and they all have the intention of comparison.
"Can the Fat Cavalry General 'show' his hand?"
Li Longji is not old-hearted and has a strong sense of competitiveness.
You can't keep a low profile. Li Huaitang smiled bitterly.
Your Majesty has spoken a word, how can he not obey it?
When people thought that Li Huaitang would personally go to the herald to demonstrate with his own soldiers, they saw that he asked the honor guard at the head of the city for a bullhorn.
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, the majestic horn sounded, and the rhythm was sometimes rapid and slow, combining long and short.
"Huh?! Look, Ningyuan Iron Ride! ”
Someone pointed into the distance. In the dense formation, a cavalry detachment broke out.
God! There is no need to pass on the word of mouth, smell the trumpet and act, decisively and accurately.
Three hundred horsemen riding Ningyuan knights galloped in the dust, the formation was compact and tacit, smooth as flowing water, and the momentum was better than that of a thousand horsemen.
The whole performance process is like the repetition of the 'fine' and sharp of the Shenwu horse, the bow and arrows are 'shot', the bow is drawn and the knife is chopped, all in one go, calmly and unhurriedly, extremely efficient, and well-trained is reflected in every move.
'Fine' is incomparable!
Even Yang Guifei, who doesn't understand military affairs, Li Linfu and others have to admit it. Just by giving orders, Ning Yuan's iron cavalry is the best in the world.
In the rest of the details, compared to the hundred people of the Shenwu Cavalry, Ning Yuan's Iron Cavalry was three times that of them, and the number of 'shots' from the bow was one more round, and the accuracy was almost the same. Don't underestimate a round of feather arrows, sometimes, it is often such a seemingly insignificant difference that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Li Longji couldn't help but be amazed, the strength of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry can be seen from this, no wonder it can sweep the powerhouses of the Western Regions!
There is another point, Li Longji saw it in his eyes, these three hundred horses were all equipped with extremely sharp Han swords. Among the tributes sent by Ning Yuan was a Han knife, which was as beautiful as clay in shape, and he also deliberately wore it on his waist today.
"Ningyuan Iron Cavalry is equipped with Han swords?"
Li Longji's heart went up and down, if the answer was yes, it was really hard to imagine how to fight against tens of thousands of such cavalry.
Yes. Li Huaitang's childlike heart rose and nodded mischievously.
The fact is that even with the supply of Tianzhu's specialty Uzi steel, the output of the Han sword can only be equipped with cavalry troops and infantry officers.
Nodding to achieve an effect, Li Longji's face changed.
The reaction of many people, such as Li Linfu and Wang Heng, was, Xiao Li! You know, the Han knife thief is expensive!
Li Longji's reaction was consternation. Do you still let people live? A 'colored' Han knife!
He made a comparison, in the slash, the Tang knife is far inferior to the Han knife, the gap is obvious, basically broken into two, and the Han knife is not damaged at all. On the battlefield, hand-to-hand combat weapons can only wait for death, while victory or defeat is more often decided by 'hand-to-hand' combat, especially cavalry, which is known for its speed.
In the event of a conflict with Ning Yuan? ……
Li Longji's scalp was numb. Even if he can win, the price he will pay in the end will definitely be more than he can afford to pay.
As the master of Ning Yuan, Li Huaitang is loyal, but the problem is that the past and the present do not represent the future. Even if he continues to be honest in his duties, what about his heirs?
His determination was suddenly firm, Li Linfu was right, you can't raise tigers for trouble, you must get rid of Li Huaitang!
Let Li Huaitang die in Luoyang, it can't cover up the mouth of the people in the world, nor can it appease Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, let alone 'deliver' to Yang 'Yu'. At this time and that time, if Li Huaitang died bravely on the battlefield, he would have no complaints. Lao Li He will also award medals to the martyrs and add officials to the knighthood, well, of course, he will also receive his wife and concubine, oh, no, it should be taken care of, 'jade' ring beauty, I am here, wow, hehe......
