Chapter 241: Thunder Legion Down
As we all know, the most powerful in today's Xia Dynasty is the heavy armored cavalry corps, this legion was created by Yingtian, ostensibly under the control of the imperial court, but the real situation is that they only obey the orders of Zhenguo Gong Yingtian, whether it is the military department Shangshu, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the governor of the Praetorian Guard, and even the imperial capital forbidden palace has no right to mobilize the heavy armored cavalry corps.
The heavy cavalry corps has been built for more than 30 years, many of the generals are still veterans of the year, they fought around with the winning day, opened up territory for the Xia Dynasty, can be said to have made great achievements, many world-shattering army numbers have been wiped out, but the heavy cavalry corps has been retained, and now it has become the existence of the Wei Zhen side.
However, many people don't know that in addition to the heavy armored cavalry legions, there were three legendary legions in the Xia Dynasty, which were the Tulip Legion formed by the royal family, the Fire Phoenix Legion formed by women, and the Thunder Legion, which was known as the emperor's personal guard, and among these legions, the Thunder Legion was the most powerful.
Back then, the Thunder Legion was ordered to go to the border to resist the invasion of the Million Mountain Alliance Alliance, and in the face of the strength of a group army in the Million Mountain Range, the legion soldiers did not take a step back, did not have so many schemes, did not have the right time and place, they relied on their hearts, 100,000 Thunder soldiers fought hard for a million enemy troops, and they simply killed none of those invaders.
After the end of the war, 100,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, except for the commander of the regiment and a few men, the rest were all martyred.
In order to commend the heroic spirit of the Thunder Legion, the Emperor Taishang decreed that the number of the Thunder Legion should always be retained, and the Thunder Legion was described with the title of "the emperor's personal guard, the pillar stone of the frontier", and the Thunder Legion was re-established according to the standards of the original legion.
The first commander of the Thunder Legion is Yu Invincible, he and the Emperor Taishang of the Xia Dynasty is a sworn brother, when the war broke out, Yu Invincible led the Thunder Legion to sweep in all directions, its sharp edge even the heavy cavalry corps did not dare to touch, after the death of the Emperor Taishang, Yu Invincible also mysteriously disappeared, before leaving, Yu Invincible left the captain's armor and token in the big tent.
After Yu Invincible disappeared, the Thunder Legion ushered in the second legion commander Si Qikong, Si Qikong is the apprentice of the Emperor Taishang, and the first emperor Xia Ding grew up together, this person has superb martial arts, loyal to the first emperor, if it wasn't for the first emperor to transfer the Thunder Legion to other places, Xu Chunyang, Long Jiuzhong and a few of them would not dare to launch the Hongdemen change.
After the first emperor Xia Ding died of illness, Si Qikong resigned from the position of the commander of the Thunder Legion, and took the initiative to go to the emperor's tomb to guard the tomb of Xia Ding, from there, the whereabouts of the Thunder Legion are unknown, and no one knows where the soldiers of the Thunder Legion went, but everyone knows that the Thunder Legion must still exist, and who the Legion supports, in a sense, is equivalent to announcing that the other party is orthodox.
It is precisely because of the special nature of the Thunder Legion that the candidate for the commander of the Thunder Legion is particularly eye-catching, after Si Qikong resigned and went into hiding, the Thunder Legion disappeared, but everyone did not expect that when Ling Xia's trace appeared, the original prince actually showed the Thunder Legion in the coalition council, and appointed Ling Xia as the third leader of the Thunder Legion.
At this time, people knew that the Thunder Legion had been hiding in Xia Yuanji's camp, and after hearing Xia Yuanji's appointment, Mr. Dongfang, Nangong Hongru, and Qiuluobei all secretly stomped their feet, and the three of them guessed the mastermind behind this matter almost at the same time, this must be the handiwork of the Heavenly Demon Luzhu, because Xia Yuanji would never think of this kind of scheme.
