Dengzhou City, Qi Wangfu, in the school grounds.

The cold winter wind was still cold, blowing the military flags around the school yard 'fiercely', and the fiery red sunset shone on the school grounds, coating all of them with a layer of blood red, which looked a little more heroic.

Hundreds of soldiers in armor stood on the school ground, the age of these soldiers looked a little older, and even some of them had a little white star in their hair, but although these people were older, they were all majestic men who were more than seven feet tall, and the wind and frost on their faces could not hide the fierce aura of their whole bodies.

Li Su, who was standing on the stage to inspect this unit, twisted his neck very uncomfortably, and then asked Yu Wenbiao beside him in a low voice: "Old Yu, how is it, do your people dare to fight with the people below?" ”

Yu Wenbiao was nervous by the murderous aura exuded by the army in front of him, although Li Su had also been on the battlefield, but at most it was a ticket nature, Yu Wenbiao was completely from the battlefield, knowing how terrible the army in front of him was, in his eyes, these more than 700 soldiers were simply murderous beasts, and they could pounce on themselves at any time and tear themselves to pieces.

Because of this, as soon as Yu Wenbiao heard Li Su's question, he hurriedly shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Your Highness, don't be joking, although the guards of our palace are from Qianniuwei, compared to these people, they are still a few points behind, except for the Xuanjia army I saw on the Turkic battlefield back then, no army can have such momentum." ”

Yu Wenbiao participated in the war to destroy the Turks with Li Jing. It was also in that battle that he was promoted from a small soldier to an officer, and later he was transferred to Li Su's mansion as a pawn army. It can be said that the war was a turning point in Yu Wenbiao's life, and he has always been proud of it, and he bragged to others from time to time, and it was precisely because of this that he was very clear about every detail of that war. He still remembers the demeanor of the Xuanjia Army back then, so as soon as he saw the army in front of him who was about to join the palace guard, he immediately recalled his memories of the Xuanjia Army.

"But Your Highness. Are these people really just pirates? Don't you look like they? Yu Wenbiao asked with some confusion. When Li Su introduced this army to him, he only said that it was recruited South China Sea pirates, and he had heard about it. Lu Qing, who is exploring new routes, is a big pirate leader. It's just that what he can't understand is that these southern pirates in front of him are too strong, although they are a little older, but with this momentum alone, he can conclude that if these people are placed on the battlefield, they are definitely a force that can determine the outcome of the battle.

"Well, I said they were pirates, and they were pirates. But from today onwards, they are all palace guards, under the control of the two new soldiers and Hu Sima! Li Su said a little domineeringly, but then the conversation changed and said again. In addition, you and the original palace guards will also have to carry out some special training, which is the responsibility of the new Zhou Dianjun, and you palace old men, don't lose face in front of the newcomers. ”

Yu Wenbiao didn't seem to want to explain when he heard Li Su. didn't dare to ask more, and when he heard that they were going to be specially trained, Yu Wenbiao couldn't help but shudder in fright, he didn't need to ask him to know that His Royal Highness King Qi must want to train them into the army in front of him, this is not a simple matter, thinking of the cruel training he will go through in the future, so that he, a veteran ruffian, has a little retreat.

"The Tiger Head Army has been assembled, please give instructions to Your Highness!" At this moment, Aunt Hu took Hu Li and Zhou Long and walked forward in a few steps and saluted loudly.

"Excuse me!" Li Su held his hands in a false position and said in a serious voice. Then he strode to the front of the stage, glanced at these weathered veterans, and then said slowly: "You should all know my identity and why you want to join the royal guard, so I won't say anything else, but I am here to promise you one thing today." ”

When Li Su said this, he suddenly paused, glanced at the audience again, and said again in a firm tone: "The prestige of the Tiger Head Army will be passed down from you, and at the same time, it will also let everyone know that there is an iron-blooded army in the world today that can be comparable to the Tang Xuanjia Army, that is, the Tiger Head Army of the Qi Palace!" ”

Hearing Li Su's assurance, although the soldiers of the Tiger Head Army were still as resolute as just now, there was a kind of fanaticism in their eyes, they were all selected by the Huyun sisters and brothers, and they watched the Tiger Head Army step by step towards glory, and at the same time, they were very proud of their identity.

But since the Liang State was destroyed, although their combat power is strong, but in the face of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they are still powerless, and finally they can only go overseas, I thought that no one will remember the Tiger Head Army, but what I didn't expect is that the King of Tang Qi in front of him, no, it should be the concubine of Her Royal Highness the Princess, actually gave them a chance to be reborn, so they were all very excited, and at the same time they also had an initial sense of identity with Li Su in their hearts.

Looking at the fanatical Tiger Head Army below, Li Su was a little proud in his heart, he already knew from Aunt Tiger and Hu Li that the Tiger Head Army regarded honor as more important than life, so for these people, it is absolutely impossible to tempt with money and beauties, and can only start from honor, as long as he preserves the name of the Tiger Head Army and carries it forward, then there is no problem at all to collect the hearts of these people.

After integrating the Tiger Head Army into the palace guards, the entire guard will be operated by Aunt Tiger herself, anyway, Li Su only told her that before going to Liaodong, the entire palace guards must be trained well, and then don't affect the combat effectiveness because of the unevenness between the old and the new.

After getting Aunt Tiger and these people, Li Su began to prepare for the trip to Liaodong, in fact, it was not a big deal, in addition to preparing his personal belongings to Liaodong, he also brought a few new products from Dengzhou, such as antifreeze oil made of whale fat, which is mainly used to treat frostbite, the kind of ghost weather in Liaodong, even if it is worn thickly, frostbite is inevitable, not to mention the soldiers who often go out on missions, so most of the soldiers have frostbite to varying degrees.

For this situation, Li Su asked people to collect a lot of prescriptions for chilblains, and then gathered a lot of doctors to study, and finally used blubber as the main raw material, plus several relatively common medicinal materials, to treat a kind of antifreeze oil, and now the whaling industry in Dengzhou is also slowly developing, so the price of blubber is not expensive, and the cost of antifreeze oil is relatively low. This time, he is going to take it to the front line, let the soldiers try it, if the effect is good, it can be produced in large quantities, after all, this thing can not only be used for military purposes, but also has a large market for the people, which is a relatively good way to make money.

In addition, there is a new weapon created by the craftsmen led by Yuwen Hu under his guidance, called the Flying Thunder Cannon, but although this thing has a cannon in its name, it is not the kind of cannon in the general sense of the later generations, and at most it can only be regarded as a kind of mortar cannon. The structure of the flying thunder cannon is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is a very strong large iron cylinder, when it is used, put the propellant at the bottom, stuff a round gunpowder bag on it, and then ignite the propellant, with the help of the power of the explosion, the gunpowder bag is thrown out, at most it is more than 100 meters of range, as for the power, it depends on the weight of the gunpowder bag.

In fact, this kind of flying thunder cannon is not as good as the range of the stone thrower, and it also consumes gunpowder, for this kind of weapon, Yuwen Hu is not optimistic, but it also has its own advantages, that is, it is simple and easy to operate, two or three soldiers can do it, and it is also very convenient to carry, so with the support of Li Su, it was still developed.

In addition, for the production of real artillery, Li Su also put forward the idea, but he did not personally participate, first, there is no time, and secondly, Li Su also knows that the development of artillery is very dangerous, especially in the final test firing, in case of blowing up or something, it is not playing, he doesn't want to play such a heartbeat, or leave it to those professionals to do, of course, he did not forget to tell Yuwen Hu, must pay attention to safety, even if the development is successful later, it must not be risky!

When Erlong raised his head in February, news came from Liaodong that His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had led 20,000 elites from Guanzhong to Liaoxi, and would arrive at the city of Anshi in a few days, and Li Su had finally reached the moment to start moving, otherwise he would not be able to meet Li Shimin no matter how late it was.

So Li Su had already been prepared, and finally set off in the third year of junior high school, they took the sea route, took a boat directly to Liaodong Bay, and then landed from Jian'an City, and then rushed to Anshi City together. However, the team of his line is extremely large.

There were nearly 1,500 guards in the palace, and Li Su only wanted to take half of them, but Wen Xin insisted that he bring more, and finally decided to take away a thousand guards, of which all the tiger head soldiers were of course indispensable, and the other two hundred were all outstanding soldiers in the guards. The thousand people were divided into two teams, led by Hu Li and Zhou Long respectively, and as for Aunt Hu, she volunteered to stay in the mansion to protect Wen Xin's female dependents.

Just this thousand guards, plus the materials transported, actually didn't need a few ships, but Li Su's line dispatched nearly a thousand ships at once, almost the entire open sea of Dengzhou City was covered, and the fleet in front of it walked for a long time, and there was a fleet in the back that did not leave the port, which can be described as extremely spectacular.

The reason why there are so many ships is mainly because the slave catching team of the entire Dengzhou City has been dispatched, because just half a month ago, the matter that Li Su asked Li Shimin for finally got a positive answer, of course, although this matter is Li Su's beginning, but the major emerging aristocratic families in Chang'an City are the main force to promote the success of this matter, and now it is finally time to share the delicious food.
