Chapter 328: Tang Jun

Originally, the horse. Yuan Wu didn't take this matter to heart, and wanted to say that it was nothing big to visit a queen mother who was so angry. www.biquge.info Although the queen mother dragged her sick body and went to see the queen mother Guo again, she didn't let him have any jealousy. The queen mother, who was born as a palace maid, is now a corpse, and it is not worth caring about.

It's just that the next day, Li Chen went to see the Shence Army drill again, so he asked Ma . Yuan Wu became nervous, although it didn't seem to have anything to do with it, but this military power was the most worrying, their eunuchs could abolish the emperor, and life and death were in their hands, isn't it because the Shence Army has always been in the hands of the eunuchs?

Can't help but be amazed. Yuan Wu was not nervous, so he sent someone to investigate, trying to find a way to find out, that day Li Chen went to see the Empress Dowager Jiqing, was there anything unusual.

Li Chen didn't know about this. After a walk around Xingqing Palace, Li Chen, who was having a good time, did not follow his plan the next day and set off to hunt. Instead, I went to the Shence Military Academy to watch the training of the Shence Army.

This time Li Chen came suddenly, but even the horse. Yuan Zhen was alarmed, early in the morning, Ma. Yuan Zhen came, and said with a smile that he wanted to review the soldiers and horses with everyone, "The old slave is the lieutenant of the left guard army of the Shence Army, and he should be quite familiar with this Shence army, if you don't understand anything, you can ask the old slave." ’

This is very clear, if you have something to ask me, it is clear that you will not give Li Chen the opportunity to ask anything, and even, you will not even be able to contact other people.

So there will be Father-in-law Rauma. Li Chen was unconscious and thanked the horse. Yuan Zhen also praised him for his loyalty to the country, and then he was a horse. Accompanied by Yuan Zhen, they went to the camp of the Zuo Shence Army to watch the Shence Army drill formation and how to fight against the cavalry.

The one in charge of the drill was still the one who came to greet Li Chen last time. Last time, this guy was very upside down, and he drove the wrong car, and it was nothing at the time, but after that, he was so angry. Yuan Wu is about to dismiss him.

Fortunately, this guy is also very well-behaved, and he has presented a lot of treasures, even horses. Yuan Zhen didn't fall there, so he let the horse. Yuan Wu changed his mind and punished this guy for a few months.

Now that this guy has seen the Son of Heaven again, he muttered in his heart, the last time he saw the Son of Heaven, I hope it won't be this time. Then the drill began.

The organization of the Shence Army has always been a bit chaotic, originally there was a unified army on it, and it was the supreme commander, from the second grade. There are two generals under it, three generals, four generals, and three generals. Then there are uncertain places below, all know the soldiers and horses, all Yu Hou, all the guards and other positions.

These positions are likely to become the actual rulers, and who is in power mainly depends on who is close to the emperor. As for the lieutenant of the guard, as well as the lieutenant, he was supposed not to interfere in military affairs.

It's just that as I said just now, who is in power mainly depends on who is close to the emperor. The position of lieutenant of the guard army was originally only in charge of supervision, and he had no real power. But when it comes to closeness, who is closer than these eunuchs who accompany the king day and night.

Originally, the Shence Army was fine, although it was controlled by the eunuchs. But as an elite army, the main power is still the warriors. However, after Dezong, the warriors were domineering, and in serious cases, because they could not get a reward, they even forced Dezong to abandon Beijing and abscond.

Since that time, the eunuch's position as a lieutenant in the shrine army has eroded the original positions of other people, and he has become the actual master of the Shence army.

'Kill! Kill!. Under Li Chen's gaze, the exercise began. After reading it, you can understand how the Tang army fought in general. And horses. Yuan Zhen explained on the side that Li Chen had a good understanding of the Tang Army.

Basically, the Tang army is basically composed, and the most basic unit is the team. A team of fifty. During the battle, three people were a small squadron, three squadrons formed a squadron, and five squadrons formed a brigade.

Well? You say it's only forty-five. Yes, you are not mistaken. Among the five people who are not enough, there is a detainees, a civilian staff, and a team leader, who is the captain, Li Chen recruited Wang Tian in Yangzhou, and he is the team leader.

Then, a deputy leader of the flag, who is in charge of the flag, and then there are two left and right flag guards, called the left and right (pronounced the same as the flag). Thus it was fifty people in total.

Of the fifty people, about ten were on fire again. It is mentioned in Mulan's poem that the fire companions are all in a hurry, and it is this fire. In the era of the government soldier system, this fire man was a small whole, preparing some logistics and so on, and then sleeping in the same tent at night.

In horses. In Yuan Zhen's commentary, the drill began. First, a team of 45 people set off from the camp and arrived at the school grounds. This equipment is really eye-catching, each person has a bow, and it is basically a standard recruitment, and it will only be included if you can shoot arrows.

When they walked to the school grounds, they began to line up, and each team was about ten steps apart, and when they stood in their positions, they unfurled the flag and erected it. The formation is not as strict as Li Chen imagined, every other team, a team will be designated to take fifty steps forward. This makes the overall formation staggered.

Then, the trumpets sounded, and the teams dispersed to stand. The second horn sounded, the gun was raised, the bow was wound, and it was ready for battle. The third sound, raise the gun in unison. After the fourth blow, the teams collected their guns and rested on the spot, some kneeling and some sitting, but they were all paying attention to a big yellow flag. This is the flag of the army.

'Sage, my Tang Army, is divided into seven armies. Each army will have a governor. The Chinese army, which is directly commanded by the main general, has one army on the left and right and two armies on the left and right. Among them, the left and right van armies are responsible for logistics, and will transfer elite soldiers among them, and other guards and large battalions. 'I really can't see this horse. The Yuan Zhen team still understands this set quite well, and the explanation is very detailed.

Then the yellow flag was pressed, like a thunderous drum sounded, the sergeants were shouting to kill, and they marched forward in unison, and the front team had to be in the front of the team, all of them were strange swordsmen, and they saw that the swords and guns were bright, attacking with a knife formation, and the sergeants were all wearing heavy armor, Li Chen could imagine how frightened the enemies of the Tang Dynasty would be when they saw such a neat and uniform sword formation advancing like a wall.

The Mo sword soldiers were followed by the armor soldiers, and these armor soldiers did not hold the Mo sword, but also wore heavy armor. There is a spear and a horizontal knife on his back. Bows and arrows are the most basic equipment. When the Modaoist approaches, they will send a rain of arrows in support.

But the first to be launched were the crossbowmen, who were ranked after the armor, these were light infantry, no armor, but some of them had shields, large square shields, bows and spears were the basic equipment, shield-bearers were equipped with horizontal swords, those without shields were equipped with crossbow arrows, and there was a larger earth arrow.

In the Tang Army, the bow was the basic equipment, and each person carried thirty arrows. Only them, the big arrow, Li Chen visually saw that there were others who were three times bigger.

The Mo knife hand took the initiative to attack the enemy, and the army behind him immediately implemented fire cover, first fired a round of crossbow arrows, and when it was close, the bow and crossbow fired a volley, and the Mo knife hand stepped forward to fight, and then the armor soldiers followed forward to cover, respond, or expand the results. Finally, there were the light infantry, which basically did not send them out and covered them with fire in the rear.

The Tang Dynasty army is a mixture of infantry and cavalry, which must be envious of the army of the Song Dynasty. Li Chen looked at the cavalry, the cavalry's equipment was good, everyone wore a horse armor, carried a spear, a round shield, a bow, and an arrow, a long and short horizontal knife, and was really armed to the teeth.

At this time, they were not idle, covering the infantry from the flanks and harassing the enemy's flanks. Once the enemy collapses, they are the main force in pursuit.

At this time, a crisp metal knock sounded. The whole army stopped fighting, the shield men stepped forward to respond, and the cavalry also retreated, and began to cover the slow retreat of the army.

'Sage, this is in the army, when you hear the drums, you will advance, and you will retreat with gold,', I am afraid that Li Chen will not understand, Ma. Yuan Zhen explained, his hand also pointed to a metal object similar to a bronze bell, but with a handle, for people to hold in their hands, which was called a golden cymbal. Li Chen suddenly realized that the gold that retreated when he heard the gold was this gold.

It's offense. After watching the drill, Li Chen asked again, "What about defense?" How can I restrain those nonsense. ’

Horse. Yuan Zhen ordered again and began to drill how to fight against the cavalry. The first was the cavalry moving forward, a burst of fighting. At this time Jin Xiang, Ma. Yuan Zhen explained, "It means that the cavalry is inferior to others. After the cavalry retreated, they began to bow and crossbow, and even the sword soldiers at the front took out their bows and arrows to shoot.

Looking at the dense rain of arrows, Li Chen still wanted to say that it was really nothing for the Mongols to ride and shoot. The Mongols are strong in their use of cavalry, strong in cannon fodder, if the Mongols are rising, they have to meet the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty really minutes and hours will teach them how to write the Tang Tianwei.

Even, the Song Dynasty was strong, but it was actually no less than the Tang Dynasty. The Foot Man Armor and the Divine Arm Crossbow are both famous. The difference is that there are no horses.

In fact, this situation is already manifesting itself. This god stamps the army, and the military horses are not strong. Because of the defeat of the Uighurs in the previous years, they also grabbed a lot of horses. As the most important force in the hands of eunuchs, the Shence Army can still be maintained, and it is much worse in other places.

Of course, these Li Chen didn't know yet, but he only saw that the cavalry of the Shence Army was still majestic, and after retreating,

Then the Mo knife soldiers stepped forward, it was a burst of slashing, the gold sounded again, the Mo knife army retreated, the armor soldiers stepped forward, the spear was like a forest, this spear, in the Tang Dynasty, the law is also high, except for the crossbowmen, everyone is a hand.

'Can anyone beat such a team?' Li Chen was stunned, such a team, which cavalry suffered, several waves of attacks, and finally had to face a spear formation, and there were bows and crossbows behind to shoot constantly. Unless there is a huge disparity in numbers, which team can stand it.

Finally, the flag soldiers who had just retreated, came out from both wings, symbolizing the flanking attack. After a while, the yellow flag was covered again, and the whole army pursued the remnants of the enemy.

Li Chen was very happy to see it, applauded, and said loudly, Ma. Yuan Zhen took a step forward and said in a loud voice, "The officers and men of the whole army are brave, they will not fall in training day and night, and the whole army will have a meal at night, and everyone will be rewarded with a hundred words." ', the whole army thundered and cheered, this horse. Yuan Zhen, I didn't mention it from beginning to end, this is Li Chen's reward, Li Chen just smiled. (To be continued.) )
