Chapter 622: The Tang Dynasty 100,000 Army
Night fell again.
The royal ranch was silent, and a faint light was still on in one of the tents.
Su Dingfang sat and drank with his two sons.
"Dad, I heard that the Holy Lord called Qin Tian alone today, do you know what happened?" Su Lin asked.
Su Dingfang said: "I heard a little bit, the saint took a fancy to Ben Lei Ma and wanted Qin Tian to get some, but the court didn't want to pay for it." ”
Hearing this, Su Lin and Su Feng couldn't help but pout, and they also felt that Li Shimin was too desperate to do this, and if he didn't pay for it, how could he get Ben Lei Ma?
However, seeing that Li Shimin also admired the Thunder Horse, and felt that the speed of the Thunder Horse was very powerful, they all felt a little proud, even the horses that the Son of Heaven was optimistic about, and in the simulated battle tomorrow afternoon, they had to make Qin Huaiyu look good.
"Dad, this is good news for us, the saint is so embarrassed Qin Tian, let's just wait and see the excitement."
The imperial court refused to pay, and asked Qin Tian to find a way, so Qin Tian could only bleed by himself.
The father and son couldn't help but laugh when they said this.
The night passed like this, and the next morning, Li Jing was the first to get up.
As the generalissimo in charge of this inspection, Li Jing needs to arrange all kinds of things properly, as long as Li Shimin comes, he will directly inspect it.
And he has been doing these things for the past few days, not even participating in yesterday afternoon's hunt.
He wanted Li Shimin to see the majesty of the Tang Army.
Today's Tang Dynasty, not counting the soldiers and horses in the hands of the vassal kings from all walks of life, only here in Chang'an City, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, among the 100,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 archers, and 60,000 infantry.
This number is not small.
It's just that although there are quite a few, it is not easy to train these 100,000 soldiers with momentum.
Some people can only command 2,000 people, and some people can command 10,000 people, and once they go beyond this range, they will feel struggling.
Li Jing still knows about himself, he feels that he can command 200,000 soldiers and horses, and Han Xin, the soldier immortal, is the more the merrier, however, in Li Jing's opinion, although Han Xin leads more troops, the better, but at most only three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, no matter how much, he may not be able to command.
In other words, Li Jing felt that he was not much worse than Han Xin.
The autumn wind in the morning was a little cold, and in addition to the frost, there was also a thick fog, Li Jing checked back and forth in the barracks, and was a little busy.
After the fog gradually dissipated, Li Shimin took the hundred officials to the square of the royal ranch, and at this time, the 100,000 army was already waiting.
The army of 100,000 looked black and oppressive, Li Shimin stood tall and nodded with satisfaction, he thought it was not bad, but Qin Tian pouted, he was a little unhappy.
First, Li Shimin embarrassed him, and second, in the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, there are enemies inside and outside the left and right, there are really not many 100,000 troops, and 100,000 small troops are about the same.
However, he just pouted and didn't say anything, but when he pouted, he happened to be seen by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's eyebrows condensed slightly: "Qin Aiqing, do you think my Tang family is not good?" ”
100,000 Tang family, who dares to say no?
After hearing this, a few people next to him looked at Qin Tian, Qin Tian's cheeks twitched slightly, and said, "Holy Lord, the minister doesn't mean this. ”
Although he said so, Qin Tian's expression was obviously a little disdainful, and Li Shimin snorted, thinking that he would open Qin Tian's eyes later.
"General Lee, let's get started."
Li Shimin gave an order to Li Jing, and Li Jing received the order, and then stood on a high place, waving the flag in his hand.
This is a common thing used in marching and fighting, and after the soldiers see the flag, they can change the formation and know which direction to attack, which is a useful method of managing the army.
Li Jing's flag was waved back and forth, and an infantry rushed forward with weapons.
"Kill ......"
"Kill ......"
The sound of the battle resounded in the sky, and after people heard it, they were shocked, their blood boiled, the infantry screamed, and the blades in their hands were slashed out one after another, and the autumn wind blew coldly, rolling up the wind and sand.
The spectacle was spectacular, and those who watched were amazed.
Li Shimin was originally sitting, but seeing that the infantry was so magnificent, he couldn't help but stand up, and the whole person's face was also very excited, but when he turned his head, he saw that Qin Tian next to him had a calm expression, as if he didn't make any waves.
Frowning slightly, Li Shimin asked, "Qin Aiqing, how is this infantry?" ”
"Good!"
Qin Tian's answer was very concise, just a good word, so no matter who heard it, he would not think that he really thought it was good.
Li Shimin was a little angry, although he embarrassed Qin Tian yesterday, he wouldn't give himself a face, right?
I'm a dignified man.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Since Qin Aiqing thinks it's good, why don't you write a poem for this and praise it?" ”
Qin Tian smiled bitterly, Li Shimin was obviously embarrassing himself, what he did as an official was really aggrieved.
"Holy Lord, the minister really thinks it's good, really, it's really magnificent, I can't believe that my Datang is so strong."
Qin Tian's words were full of praise, but when Li Shimin heard it at this time, his cheeks were slightly red, but it was only 100,000 soldiers, what was there to be proud of, Qin Tian was obviously sarcastic.
If the army is strong, why do you need to sign the Weishui Alliance with the Turks?
When Li Shimin saw those infantrymen, he was proud, but at this time, when Qin Tian said this, he came to his senses, glanced at Qin Tian, and said, "You, I really don't know what I want me to say about you." ”
The soldiers are still not strong enough, they still can't be careless, they must be modest and cautious, Li Shimin did not embarrass Qin Tian anymore, he still just watched.
The infantry fight was over, followed by the cavalry.
Datang's cavalry is 20,000, the number is not very many, and the horse is not a good horse, so when the cavalry appeared, although the momentum was good, Li Shimin no longer had the state of mind that he was proud of just now.
Maybe it was because he saw the cavalry remembering yesterday's words, or maybe it was because he was woken up by Qin Tian just now.
The cavalry ran back and forth, fighting, very spectacular, Li Shimin only nodded after seeing it, he wanted to take care of Li Jing, so that Li Jing felt a little more relieved.
After the cavalry, there are archers.
There were many archers, but only two appeared, and after these two archers appeared, one in front and one in the back, after the person in front shot the arrow, the one behind immediately stepped forward and came up as a substitute.
This kind of cooperation can speed up the speed of sharp arrows, and it is the most efficient method that has been improved after many wars.
The archers are very powerful, fast, and hard, after Li Shimin saw this, he finally felt a little more comfortable, but at this time, a chuckle suddenly came from the side.
