Chapter 005: Ready to go
Chang'an North Field, tens of thousands of soldiers are waiting for the battle, the Han banner is blown by the wind, the infantry phalanx, the cavalry phalanx, the crossbow phalanx, the bow and arrow phalanx, the command phalanx, the spear phalanx, the chariot phalanx are waiting for a strict formation, just waiting for an order to go to the front, and the generals in front of the formation also rode war horses back and forth between the parties, and the gray layer of the horse's hooves covered the sky and the sun.
On the tower of the north field, the fifty-six war drums lined up in turn were beaten by the drummer to the earth-shattering sound, every heartbeat of the soldiers was at the same frequency as the war drums, bumper and bumper, making people's heartbeat and excitement, all teams were waiting for the review of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this was the review before the expedition, and it was also an important means to enhance the morale of the army before the expedition.
And that night, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was assassinated by the Hun assassins, and Emperor Wu strictly ordered no one to divulge the matter, but the general Wei Qing and Prime Minister Li Cai knew that Liu Che might have other considerations.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che decided to send troops to Monan again, the general Wei Qing has been so busy that he doesn't even have a chance to eat, Emperor Wu's military parade is actually a routine work, every time the Han Dynasty sends troops to the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Che will personally parade to boost morale, so this time is no exception, 100,000 troops are about to be pulled, and the military parade before the battle is essential.
In order to prepare for the review before this expedition, Wei Qing has been busy for several nights in a row, although he is a general, Wei Qing on the city tower still personally commanded the military parade of Emperor Wu, and the heavy armor on his body made him look so old, as if this guy had just returned from the front line.
"The emperor drove to ......"
With the holy drive of Emperor Wu Liu Che escorted by the Yulin Army from the north gate of the field to the middle of the field, 10,000 people knelt down and bowed, Huo Quai, as the holy driver, rode a war horse and walked at the front of the team, implying the forward, his face was hideous, and his eyes were like radar scanning the crowd on both sides of the bow, for fear that there would be a Hun assassin Qajar in the crowd, and the handsome young man became extremely serious.
And this time Emperor Wu's military parade also made everyone feel very different, the Yulin Army escort team all entered the field and did not see the dragon driver, only to see a little yellow in the army of 10,000 people, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, wearing a yellow armor, wearing a golden bell helmet, holding the Emperor Gaozu Imperial Dragon Sword appeared in the middle of the formation, Huo Qubing and other twelve Yulin captains accompanied him, Liu Che made an exception and did not wear a dragon robe, which shows how heavy this battle is.
Emperor Wu Liu Che stood in the middle of the formation, the generals Wei Qing, Lang Zhongling Li Guang, Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao, Taifu Gongsun He, Xihou Zhao Xin, Wei Wei Su Jian, and Li Fu of the Right Neishi stood on the right side of the formation, and only Taiwei Tian Zhi on the left, Prime Minister Li Cai, Imperial Historian Zhang Tang and others were already busy vomiting blood to protect the 100,000 army at this time.
Beijiaochang, a place full of blood and passion, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, sent away batches of good sons and daughters of the Han Dynasty here, some of them sacrificed their lives for the country, and some worshiped the official and feudal marquis, in short, the Beijiaochang is a symbol, a symbol of the use of soldiers against the Huns.
Ten thousand horses neighed, the banner fluttered, the Han soldiers held armor, and Emperor Wu Liu Che was thrilled when he saw this: "The Xiongnu have invaded my Han border every year since Emperor Gaozu, killed my Han people, plundered my Han city, although the last battle was less than three months, but the leader of the Xiongnu Yi Zhi led the army south, I! Inheriting the will of heaven, the general Wei Qing commanded 100,000 troops to the Northern Expedition against the Huns......"
In fact, only two months have passed since this battle and the last battle of Monan, and the reason why Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty had the courage and confidence to fight this battle is that the Han army won a complete victory in the last battle, and the morale of the army was high.
Here it is necessary to tell about the situation of the last battle: in 124 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to implement the second step of the strategic plan, sending more than 100,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu Youxian King entrenched in Monan. The Han army was divided into two routes, Wei Qing led the army out of the fortress, quietly surrounded the royal court of the right xian king by night and launched a sudden attack, the Xiongnu immediately made a mess, the right xian king woke up from the dream, was shocked, could not organize resistance, hurriedly took his concubine, led hundreds of elite horsemen to break through and escape.
In this battle, the Han army captured 15,000 men and women of the Youxian Wang, more than 10 people of King Pi (Xiongnu Xiaowang), hundreds of thousands of livestock, and won a complete victory. The Eastern Route Army led by Li Xi and Zhang Cigong also won the victory. At this time, the Xiongnu military minister Shan Yu had already died, and Yi Zhixian was established as Shan Yu, who was even more crazy than his predecessor Shan Yu to plunder the Han realm.
After a brief mobilization, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che took over the talisman from the Taiwei Tian Command.
Seeing this, the general Wei Qing immediately walked to the front of Emperor Wu and knelt down to receive the talisman with both hands, and then got up and looked at the phalanx.
"If you don't break the Huns, you swear not to return to the court!" Wei Qing suddenly drew his sword and shouted, the sword was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
"If you don't break the Huns, you swear not to return to the court!"
"If you don't break the Huns, you swear not to return to the court!"
"If you don't break the Huns, you swear not to return to the court!"
Thousands of soldiers repeated the slogan of the general Wei Qing, Lang Zhongling Li Guang, Heqi Hou Gongsun Ao, and Wei Wei Su Jian were also so excited that they pulled out their swords and compounded their faces hideously, and the sound resounded throughout the North Field, and even Chang'an City, even the Empress Wei Zifu who was far away in the palace could faintly hear it, she walked out of the gate of the palace and stood on the platform quietly looking at the direction of the North Field.
"Brother, sister wishes you a great victory!" Queen Wei Zifu looked a little sad after speaking, but she didn't know what she was grieving about, she could only bless Wei Qing in this way, because since she became the queen, Wei Zifu found that Wei Qing had changed, and he was afraid to approach this queen sister, in fact, Wei Zifu also understood that this was his younger brother avoiding suspicion.
The departure ceremony was over, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che instantly raised his sword and crossed the horse and galloped towards the north of the field, Huo Qubing and the Twelve Feather Lin Army followed closely after seeing this, as mentioned above, Emperor Wu Liu Che is a martial artist, skilled in martial arts, and has a unique feeling for the military camp, so Liu Che still has a lot to do in the north field.
"Driving ......"
Liu Che rode the white dragon horse to the soldiers' first side of the formation and raised the sword and the general Wei Qing did it, the two fought inseparably, the Han Emperor and the general learned, which made the soldiers present excited and excited, some were directly excited to almost cry, eager to carry their own swords to go up to the competition, cheering, shouting and killing, and the sound of coaxing overshadowed a wave, and the soldiers' slashing cells were mentioned to the extreme.
Watching Emperor Wu Liu Che and his uncle Wei Qing compete in the martial arts competition, Huo Qubing was also very excited, he had long forgotten that his duty was to protect the safety of the emperor, and he also participated in the onlookers competition.
"Okay, come on......"
As the competition entered the white heat, the general Wei Qing gradually gained the upper hand, and almost every sword of the emperor's imperial dragon sword was deadly, but Wei Qing was also a battle-hardened general after all, so it was a matter of course to turn the danger into a disaster.
Soon, the competition between Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty and the general Wei Qing ended, and the two fought a draw, but the impact of the competition between the two influential figures was very great, one was the monarch above 10,000 people under one person, and the other was the god of war who made the Huns frightened in the desert, and the excited cells of tens of thousands of soldiers have been mobilized, and the entire northern field is like a warehouse full of gunpowder, just waiting for the door to open and bomb indiscriminately, and some soldiers are eager to pull out the Hun prisoners in the cell to sacrifice the flag.
"Wei Qing!"
"The minister is here!"
"Drumming, jousting!"
"Yes."
The last agenda of the departure ceremony, the search for the beginning of the competition, the purpose is also to improve the morale of the army, but the competition is for the generals and soldiers.
