Chapter 329: The Battle of Will
"Prince, do you dare to repeat what you just said.? ?Eight? (8) Chinese ?.? 8 (8) 1 (1) Z (8) .? C(i) O?M?" Li Jing took a step forward, stared at Li Chengqian with burning eyes, and said word by word.
"The prince's right guard led against sixteen guards, three thousand against 10,000." Li Chengqian did not give an inch, and looked at Li Jing.
The reason why Li Chengqian dared to argue with Li Jing was that he had to talk about the training of the prince's right guard.
At present, there are a total of 15,000 soldiers in the right guard, including 5,000 elite soldiers, including 3,000 infantry soldiers and 2,000 Yue cavalry.
On the basis of the original Tang Army, the military system added the smallest unit of the group, with five people in each group, including one team leader.
The five men consisted of two sword and shield men, two sword men, and one pikemen.
In close combat, several groups stand in a row, with pikemen in the center, swords and shields to support the left and right, and swordsmen in the back.
Long-distance combat is mainly based on bows, with 30 arrows per person, and three-stage shooting as the main means of attack.
In addition, each person is equipped with three javelins, which are used as throwing weapons in medium-distance combat.
As for the cavalry, it was mainly a ranger, and each sergeant was equipped with a bow, a crossbow, a horizontal sword, and a short spear.
The training program includes individual combat, group combat (five-person team), team combat (team as a unit, 50 people) and corps (regiment as a unit, 300 people).
The most important thing is that the elite of the right guard rate eats meat, and each person guarantees a ration of half a catty of meat per day, which is incomparable to all Datang sergeants.
Li Jing may not know these things, but Li Er is very clear, and he also wants to know how strong the army that has been trained for two years can be led by the right guard, and whether it can really be strong to 3,000 against 10,000.
So when Li Chengqian and Li Jing confronted each other, Li Er spoke: "Spread the decree, tomorrow the military field of the school will conduct military exercises, and the prince's right guard will lead against the right guard, three thousand against ten thousand." β
"Whoa!" There was no martial arts in the room, and everyone bowed down.
"Prince, I said one last time, the army has no jokes, if it is too late to take back your words now, otherwise it will be too late to regret this will." It seems that the discussion just now should make Li Er very satisfied, and he actually gave Li Chengqian another rare chance.
However, Li Chengqian has his own plans, so he naturally will not admit it at this time, not to say that victory or defeat is difficult to say, that is, he knows that he will lose, and he must go up hard.
And in the martial Datang, whether you can fight or not and whether you dare to fight are completely different things, if you are cowardly in the face of challenges, even if this choice is wise, you will be looked down upon in the future.
The combination of various reasons prompted Li Chengqian to directly point to the ground on one knee: "Father, the son is willing to make a military order." β
"That's it, since you insist on it, then it's decided." Li Er waved his hand casually and motioned for Li Chengqian to get up.
In a contest, if Li Chengqian's right guard rate wins, then he will naturally win the glory he deserves; If he is defeated, then everything will be over, and even he will leave an imprint of self-esteem among the courtiers, so it is completely meaningless to make a military order.
After the deliberations were over and everyone left the Ganlu Palace, Li Jing intercepted Li Chengqian and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you really sure that you will perform martial arts tomorrow?" β
Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing with a smile, and he really didn't know what to say to this general who adhered to the golden mean.
The military exercise has been decided, the holy decree has been issued, what is the point of continuing to say such uncertain words? Could it be that he, Li Chengqian, can still halfway and then sit back?
"Senior Brother Yao, everything will only have results at noon tomorrow, and it is useless to talk at this time!" Just when Li Chengqian was about to spray Li Jing a few words, the eldest grandson Wuji leaned over with a haha and directly pulled Li Jing away.
However, Sun Changwuji left, but Li Chengqian was stunned, and he didn't understand what the complicated eyes that meant nothing when this cheap uncle left, and even when he returned to 'Lanruo Temple', he never figured it out.
Three thousand to ten thousand, the was blown out, no one knows what the result was, if Li Chengqian is not nervous, it is pure.
So the next day, as soon as it was dawn, Li Chengqian got up early, and after washing, he didn't eat, so he went directly out of the palace to the right guard station.
"Gao Ming, why did you get up so early today?" As soon as he arrived at the right guard rate, Li Chengqian saw a young man like a black iron tower standing at the gate of the camp in armor, looking like he was waiting for someone.
Li Chengqian smiled, didn't explain much, and turned to the young man like the Black Iron Tower, "Baolin, who are you waiting for?" β
"Wait for my father, and my father will give us a wooden knife for martial arts in a while." The young man named Baolin smiled innocently: "I've been looking forward to this performance for a long time, but it's a pity that Your Majesty is not allowed to touch the real guy, and all weapons can only be made of wood, which is a pity." β
"The wooden ones are good, the real guy, why are you afraid of people dying?" Li Chengqian teased the young man with a smile, but turned his face and asked a little stunned: "You are the one who takes the lead this time?" βγ
"Of course it's me, if Rengui makes a move, it will be a bit of a bully." The young man grinned widely, smiling even more happily, as if this time against the 10,000 soldiers of the Right Guard, he was really bullying people.
"Then you can be careful this time, beware of carelessness in Jingzhou, if you lose, be careful that Uncle Wei Chi goes back and discounts your legs." Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, knowing that this product and his Lao Tzu Wei Chi Gong were the same virtues, both of which were shun donkeys, so he simply reminded him.
As the eldest of Wei Chi Gong's family, Yu Chi Baolin is much older than Li Chengqian, but his temperament is a little naΓ―ve, and he speaks very straightforwardly: "Don't worry, Gao Ming, the right guard is from top to bottom, except for Uncle Cheng, I really don't feel scared." β
"If only you had a good idea." Li Chengqian nodded, patted Wei Chi Baolin's arm (not tall enough, his chest can't reach), and instructed: "After you get on the field, you must keep it, don't beat people to cripple." β
"Yes, I know!" Yu Chi Baolin nodded a little and said with a smile.
As the two were talking, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Li Chengqian turned his head to look, but saw another general like a black iron tower coming on horseback, and in an instant, he had already arrived in front of the two.
"Daddy!"
"Uncle Wei Chi!"
Waiting for the people to get off their horses, take off their helmets, and take a closer look at who it is not Wei Chi Lao.
"What are you two doing here? Are the soldiers ready? Yu Chi threw the helmet into Yu Chi Baolin's arms, and bowed his hand to Li Chengqian as a return gift.
"Dad, why did you dump the guards again!" Hurriedly catching the helmet, Yu Chi Baolin looked at the direction in which Yu Chi Gong came, and muttered softly.
Wei Chi snorted: "You don't have to worry about Lao Tzu's affairs, you have to be merciful with that right guard for a while, if you lose, go home and watch out for your two legs." β
From April 23rd to May 7th, double the monthly pass, the danger is here to ask for a ticket... Thank you!
