The iron cavalry on horseback, the fierce soldier who dismounted, it is simply the most appropriate to use this sentence to summarize the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army.

Some people may think that Liang Qiu Wu is Xie An's wife, but doesn't Xie An still know the strength of the male soldiers under the command of this delicate wife in his family?

In fact, Xie An does not have an accurate estimate of the strength of the Eastern Army, or it should be said that his understanding of the strength of the Eastern Army is still at the level of Liang Qiuwu and the personal strength of the four generals of the Eastern Army, after all, Xie An has never seen the power of the Eastern Army's iron cavalry on the battlefield.

Only once, when Liang Qiuwu led the 5,000 Eastern Army iron cavalry to support Xie An who was far away in Chang'an, Xie An was also shocked by Chen Bei's shocking personal strength, and missed the spectacular scene of the 5,000 Eastern Army attacking more than 100,000 rebels.

However, today, Xie An can be regarded as seeing it with his own eyes.

The Eastern Army [Shenwu] and the Western Army [Xie Fu] obviously belong to the soldiers and horses of the four towns, and they are also the last defensive force in Jijing, the capital of the Great Zhou State, but the scene presented in front of him at the moment is that the Western Army, which had just beaten the Jizhou Army to the point that it could not raise its head, was actually rushed into chaos by the iron cavalry of the Eastern Army led by the four generals of the Eastern Army, and almost the entire army was defeated.

Xie An vaguely remembered that before he went to the rebel army in the west, he had been to the camp of the Eastern Army, and remembered that at that time, the training intensity of the soldiers of the Eastern Army was so high that he was really surprised.

Obviously they are cavalry, but they are required to train basic skills like ordinary infantry, and on hot days, thousands of Eastern Sergeants wear their upper bodies, repeating boring marksmanship training in the spacious school field, and even running, squatting and jumping.

Perhaps from that day, Xie An had vaguely understood that the Eastern Army was definitely not cavalry in the ordinary sense!

In fact, before this, Xie An had also heard of the [Jijing Four Towns] army. The sergeants and soldiers of its army are all generations of military families, especially the Eastern Army.

Why is the salary of the Eastern Army always a heart disease in Liang Qiuwu's heart? The reason for this is that the non-commissioned officers of the Eastern Army have never been engaged in production, and all they have to do every day is training, high-intensity training.

You must know that in the past 30 years, the Eastern Army has only made three or four sorties, and the most talked about is the most talked-about. It was nothing more than the Wuhu Battle 18 years ago, and the Northern Hebei Battle 5 years ago.

These two battles commanded by Liang Qiujing and Liang Qiuwu father and daughter fully demonstrated the extremely terrifying combat ability of the Eastern Army, the former defeated tens of thousands of Taiping troops and beheaded Xue Ren, the commander of the first generation of Taiping Army. The latter faced the battle of 100,000 Beirong wolf riders, and only killed the grassland rangers in fear.

According to the statistics of the military department, more than 9,000 officers and men of the Eastern Army were killed in these two battles, and according to the regulations of the Eastern Army on the age of 13 to 35 years old, there are more than 10,000 veterans of the 20,000 Eastern Army who have been in the military for more than 10 years. More than five years, thousands, what a terrible number for an army that has been training all the time for many years!

Speaking of which. I have to mention that at the beginning of the battlefield under Hangu Pass, more than 10,000 southern troops could not retreat smoothly under the collapse of friendly forces due to the weight restrictions of their equipment. As a result, the southern army that left the broken rear was surrounded by more than 100,000 rebel regiments. The whole army was annihilated, how unjust it was to lose the land.

If Lu Fan, the young and vigorous commander of the army at that time, could avoid the edge a little and not fight Chen Bei head-on, maybe the battle situation in Hangu Pass would have been completely improved, and even Li Shou and Xie An would not have taken the credit for it.

The Southern Army, known as the Impregnable Wall, has already seen its strength Xie An, and now, the Eastern Army, which is known as the edge of the Great Zhou, has a shocking lethality that really makes Xie An's eyes shine.

You know, Liang Qiu Dance has not yet taken action in person, what does this mean?

This means that if Liangqiu Dance attacks in person, the lethality of the Eastern Army can be raised to a higher level, after all, everyone knows that the Eastern Army, which does not have the tiger generals of the Liangqiu family in the past, is at best only seven or eighty percent of its strength in its heyday.

However, what surprised Xie An was that it was clear that the Eastern Army had created such an advantage in front of him, but Liang Qiuwu's face did not mean to relax, on the contrary, this heroine of the female middle school frowned, staring intently at the Western Army in the distance, showing a thoughtful look.

Seeing this, Xie An asked curiously, "What's wrong, dance?" ”

Liang Qiuwu exhaled slightly and said in a low voice, "It's a little strange...... Xixiang Hou Han Yi has not shown up so far......"

"Han Yi?" Xie An was stunned, and subconsciously recalled in his mind that when he was down-and-out in Jijing, Han Yi had rewarded him with five taels of silver, touched his chin, and asked curiously, "That Xixiang Marquis...... Isn't it amazing? I mean martial arts......"

Liang Qiuwu shook his head and said lightly, "Among the younger generations of the four towns, except for me, Wen Qin and Lu Fan are equal in martial arts, and Han Yi is the last ......."

"So what are you worried about?" Xie An asked in wonder.

Liang Qiuwu shook his head when he heard this and said, "I'm not worried, I just feel that this matter is a little strange...... According to Xiangyu, the fifth prince Li Cheng obviously co-opted Xixiang Hou Han Yi as his wing, but you can also see that Xixiang Hou Han Yi himself has not shown up for a long time...... In short, be careful! As she spoke, she beckoned a soldier from the East Army and ordered, "Pass my order, tell Yan Kai to attack Xuanwu Gate, and Chen Gang to attack Chongwen Gate...... Asked Xiang Qing to drive the Western Army to the northeast corner of Hebei East, and Luo Chao was on standby at Zhengyangmen to prevent the rebellious party from counterattacking! ”

"Yes!" The Eastern Sergeant clenched his fists and took the order.

So cautious......

Xie An looked at his wife with some surprise, he felt that when Liang Qiuwu was commanding the soldiers and horses, he really deserved his position as a general of the Eastern Army, watching all directions, listening to all directions, always paying attention to the instantaneous changes on the battlefield, vigilant and cautious, and the cute appearance of being stupid and stupid on weekdays is simply like two people, if Xie An didn't know this woman too well, he would probably wonder if this woman's scheming stupidity on weekdays was deliberately pretended by her.

Perhaps noticing her husband's strange gaze, Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Ann, what are you looking at me like this?" ”

I saw Xie An staring blankly at his heroic wife who was sitting on the red rabbit horse, and suddenly smiled, and laughed in a low voice, "Dance, you are serious, you are really majestic......

"......" Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An in amazement when she heard this. Angry and funny, he shook his head and said angrily, "According to your words, I don't have a lot of seriousness on weekdays, right?" - You think I'm you, huh? ”

There was a faint hint of displeasure in her words, if it had been in the past, Xie An would probably have been frightened, but now. He had thoroughly figured out her temperament, and said with a smile, "No, I mean...... I really can't see it on weekdays, but right now. Mai is really a majestic general! ”

Sure enough, seeing Xie An's words of praise, Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a look of pleasure that was difficult to hide, coughed lightly, pretended to be unimpressed, and deliberately said, "I was originally a general of the Eastern Army...... said this. She saw Xie An staring at her directly, her delicate face was slightly red, she raised her hand and pointed ahead and said, "The road to Zhengyangmen has been opened." I'll enter the palace as soon as possible! ”

To be honest, looking at Liang Qiuwu's cute appearance with red ears, Xie An really wanted to hold her in his arms and love her, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk about his children's private affairs. Suppressing the inexplicable commotion in his heart, Xie An nodded. Together with Liangqiu Dance, he rode towards Zhengyang Gate.

From a distance, Xie An saw that under the gate of Zhengyangmen Palace, the crown prince Li Wei was watching the arrival of the two of them with a strange expression, and secretly laughed in his heart.

As the crown prince Li Wei guessed, in fact, Xie An's side always paid attention to the situation near Zhengyangmen, and when he saw that the prince Li Wei was blocked in Zhengyangmen, the Eastern Army did not appear in a hurry, until the crown prince Li Wei relied on his confidant to call a part of the Northern Army to defect to Wenqin's prestige, and then opened the closed Zhengyang Gate, Liang Qiuwu and Xie An were late with the Eastern Army.

"Xie Shaoqing, it's so calculating!" When Xie An rode to his side, Prince Li Wei snorted coldly, then glanced at Xie An, and said lightly, "This prince is not used to being looked down upon by others!" ”

"Hey!" Xie An chuckled, glanced at the crown prince Li Wei with interest, turned over and dismounted, shook his head and said, "It seems that in the current situation, His Royal Highness the crown prince still has the leisure to care about this, it is really ...... This house admires! ”

The crown prince Li Wei snorted lightly and said lightly, "This prince's temperament has improved greatly compared to last year, right?" ”

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head with a smile, from the side, Liang Qiu Wu saw his husband Xie An dismount, and also turned over and dismounted, when she saw Xie An and the crown prince Li Wei talking so calmly, she really felt a little surprised, after all, as far as she knew, between Xie An, Li Shou and the crown prince Li Wei, there was an unresolvable grudge.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Has it really changed for a long time? Glancing at the crown prince Li Wei, Xie An said with a little meaning.

He had to admit that the current crown prince Li Wei was like two people compared to the Li Wei he and Li Shou had seen in the Dasi Nong Zongzheng Mansion at the beginning.

"Really?" Hearing this, Prince Li Wei snorted lightly and said lightly, "As the so-called country is easy to change and its nature is difficult to change, maybe this prince is still the same as it was back then, but Xie Shaoqing's opinion of this prince may not be clear!" ”

Xie An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned.

I have to say that his impression of the crown prince Li Wei has improved a lot compared to the beginning, perhaps, the crown prince Li Wei has changed a lot, perhaps, as the prince Li Wei said, but he Xie An preconceived the prince Li Wei in the position of the enemy after hearing about what happened to Li Shou, so that he showed hostility at the first meeting.

In this regard, Xie An couldn't explain, to be honest, if you put aside the grievances of Fu Bo, he even admired His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, the crown prince Li Wei is indeed a ruthless character, with means and power, in addition to being narrow and unable to tolerate people, I have to say that he has the city government and strategy that the prince of the dynasty should have.

Exhaling slightly, leaving behind those cranky thoughts in his heart, Xie An watched the battle between the Northern Army and the Jizhou soldiers not far from the palace, and said in a low voice, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to do?" ”

Hearing this, Prince Li Wei frowned, and said strangely, "Xie Shaoqing also thought that this prince would really transfer the Jizhou army into the city to rebel?" ”

Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Xie An shook his head and said, "Although I don't like to say this, it'...... There is no doubt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really does not need to be in danger, according to the current situation, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does nothing, the throne will be in His Highness's bag in the future! -- Although there is no talent in this house, this kind of thing can still be seen thoroughly! What this palace means is how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to deal with His Royal Highness Li Cheng, the fifth prince who led the matter of forcing the palace tonight! ”

As soon as he heard Li Cheng's name, Prince Li Wei's face changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Seeing that the crown prince Li Wei was speechless. Xie An paused for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, outside the Zhengyang Gate, the Western Army, the reinforcements of His Royal Highness, have been gradually forced to the northeast corner of the city by the Eastern Army, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mind, can you order the Jizhou soldiers here to get out of the way of the Zhengyang Gate, so that my Eastern Army can enter the palace to control the situation?" "I don't know why. When he said this, a trace of elusive color flashed in Xie An's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

Because his eyes were focused on his younger brother Li Cheng in the distance, Prince Li Wei didn't notice that Xie An's eyes were wrong at that moment, and muttered. "The Eastern Army entered the palace...... Is it? ”

"What's wrong?" Xie An asked deliberately.

"......" Prince Li Wei opened his mouth, as if there was something unspeakable, glanced at Xie An, and then looked at Li Cheng in the distance, and asked abruptly, "Great Prison Temple...... How will it be determined? ”

The sentence "according to the law, you should cut the ......" made the crown prince Li Wei's face change suddenly, and Xie An paused. continued, "Kenian is the prince of His Royal Highness Li Cheng, if he can stop it, he can be lightly dismissed...... Probably degraded to the common people! ”

"Are you demoted to a commoner......" A trace of pain flashed in the eyes of Prince Li Wei. After thinking for a while, I saw him take a sharp breath and say in a deep voice, "Prince Shuben can't call the Eastern Army into the palace for the time being!" ”

"......" seemed to hear something from the words of the crown prince Li Wei. Xie An shrugged his shoulders and arched his hand. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at his own convenience! -- The Mansion and General Wu are waiting here, but I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will deal with it as soon as possible......"

Glancing at Xie An deeply, Prince Li Wei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Wen Qin! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wen Qin, who was not far away, hugged his fists and said, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”

I saw a hint of struggle flashing in the eyes of the crown prince Li Wei, and said in a low voice, "Will ...... Bring that stupid brother of Prince Ben to me, don't hurt him! ”

“…… Be! Wen Qin nodded, and immediately personally commanded the Jizhou soldiers to attack the northern army beside the fifth prince Li Cheng.

Glancing at Wen Qin's departing back, Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly, and after glancing at the crown prince Li Wei, he quietly whispered to Xie An, "An, Xiangyu's plan is not ......."

Raising his hand to interrupt Liang Qiu Wu's words, Xie An shook his head quietly, signaling her not to interfere, although Liang Qiu Wu was puzzled, he could see that his husband meant this, so he gave up.

I have to say that Wen Qin's prestige in the Northern Army is not low, seeing that as the commander of the Northern Army, he personally went out, many Northern Army officers and soldiers were in a dilemma, and they actually dropped their weapons one by one, which made the troops of the fifth prince Li Cheng less and less, and what was worse was that the Western Army, which should have entered the palace as reinforcements, has also been blocked out of the palace by the Eastern Army.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the expressions on the faces of the fifth prince Li Cheng and Wen Song, the elder of the Wen family, became more and more unsightly.

Glancing at the location of the crown prince Li Wei in the distance, Wen Song arched his hand and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the matter has come to an end now...... Capture the thief and capture the king first! ”

Hearing this, Li Cheng's eyes flashed a little ruthless, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Master Xu, Master Zhongsun!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the fifth prince Li Cheng walked out behind two northern army offerings, one was the [White Tiger General] Xu Fei who injured Fei Guo and Mo Fei with a punch a few days ago, and the other was the palace royal swordsman who participated in the joint siege of Chen Bei, [Xuanwu General] Zhongsun Lin.

"Leave it to the two of you!" [White Tiger General] Xu Fei clasped his fists together, said a word, and strode in the direction of the crown prince Li Wei, but all the Jizhou soldiers who stood in his way were knocked away by his shocking brute force.

However, when Xu Fei walked to a position more than twenty steps away from the crown prince Li Wei, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.

Seeing this, Xu Fei didn't want to think about it, he swung his fist, thinking that the other party would be repelled by his own punch, but he never expected that when he heard a dull movement on the ground, his fist was actually held in his hand, and then, he heard a sneer coming out of the person's mouth.

"It's good!"

"......" raised his head slightly unexpectedly, and [White Tiger General] Xu Fei realized that the one who blocked his fist was actually a strong man with a height of more than nine feet.

Perhaps noticing the look of surprise on the face of [White Tiger General] Xu Fei, the strong man sneered, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "The warden of the death row of the Great Prison Temple, Di Bu!" ――A few days ago, Di had a brother who could be taken care of! Speaking of this, a fierce murderous aura erupted in his eyes, and his right fist slammed towards Xu Fei.

Listening to the whirring wind in his ears, Xu Fei's face was shocked, he didn't dare to slack off at all, raised his left hand, used all his strength, and blocked Di Bu's punch.

"Bang!" There was a dull movement, and the two strong men, who were both good at strength, fought each other's strength, and for a while, they were indistinguishable.

At the same time, [Xuanwu General] Zhongsun Lin also carried a sword to the crown prince Li Wei, facing this court swordsman with strong swordsmanship, how could ordinary Jizhou soldiers be opponents.

And Liang Qiu Wu obviously also noticed this court swordsman with unusual martial arts, glanced at Xie An, who was talking to the crown prince Li Wei or something, and strode forward, blocking the other party's inevitable path.

[Xuanwu General] Zhong Sun Lin stopped, his expressionless face vaguely showing a bit of solemnity, because he saw that not far in front of him, there was a female general around seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing bright red armor, who was slowly pulling out the sharp treasure knife in his hand, which was more than eight feet long.

There is only one heroine who has the courage to show her sword in front of him as a swordsman, and there is only one in Jijing!

"Yanhu Ji ......" [Xuanwu General] Zhongsun Lin slowly spit out a name from his mouth.

Under the solemn gaze of [Xuanwu General] Zhongsun Lin, Liang Qiuwu held the scabbard in his left hand, slowly raised the long knife in his right hand that was extremely inappropriate for her size, and swung the knife to cut a knife mark on the ground that was as deep as two knuckles.

"Whoever crosses this line will die!"

At that moment, although [Xuanwu General] Zhongsun Lin was revered as a Jijing Sword Master, he also clearly felt the killing intent that seemed to penetrate deep into the soul, as if he was in an ice cave, cold and piercing.
