……

The others were far away, and the Li Shimin brothers deliberately lowered their voices, so Li Jing and Eldest Sun Wuji didn't know what the two were talking about.

But Cheng Biting Jin was close, and Cheng Laoyou's ears were very pointy, so after hearing Li Yuanba's words, he immediately stopped doing it!

What does it mean that there is no word failure in your memory? Co-authored my old Cheng deserves to lose?

"Your Majesty, I agree with the words of the prince, it is easy to say between these words, but if it is time for the competition, it is really impossible to say who loses and who wins!" Cheng Laoyou's face was a little red, this was excited, not angry.

To tell the truth, the soldiers in the world, the 10,000 Zuowu guards stationed at the Xuanwu Gate, can be said to be the elite of the elite. At least forty percent of these soldiers have thrown their heads and spilled their blood for the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all people who have gone through countless battles.

Although this time the 10,000 Zuo Wuwei army was divided into two parts, after all, the gap in numbers was there, a full 8,000 people, how to make up for such a large number of people?

If they can't even win like this, it's a miracle for the ages!

Therefore, since the establishment of the gambling contract that day, these 9,000 left guards who stayed behind were all eager to try, and they were all gearing up, eager to fight with those thousand people at that time. Last game!

After enduring this half a month, it was finally time for the decisive battle, Cheng Lao Demon and the soldiers were in the same mood, could he not be excited?

"Your Majesty, now that Lu Guogong and King Wu have arrived, let's see if the gambling fight can begin!"

The eldest grandson, Wuji, walked over. It was still a thin face, a flat expression, and only the occasional flash of essence in those eyes.

"Hmm!" Li Shimin bowed his head slightly and said, "That's how it should be!" Zhijie and Yuanba, do you need to prepare again? ”

"No, you don't. My soldiers can't wait for this battle! Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and said very proudly.

"Brother Huang, there is no need to prepare anything here! Let's go! ”

Li Yuanba is confident about this battle, and what he has to do now is to make this impossible battle possible, that's all!

"Good!" Li Shimin said: "That's the case. Let's get started! ”

As he spoke, Li Shimin was going to take the ministers to the top of the Xuanwu Gate.

At this time, Wei Zheng suddenly came out of the crowd and saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, these 10,000 Zuowu guards are the elite soldiers of my Tang Dynasty. The sword has no eyes, if it hurts them, it will be a big loss for my Datang! Please also ask Your Majesty to order that both sides of this gambling fight can only use guns and sticks, not swords! ”

"What Wei Qing said is reasonable, but I was negligent!"

Li Shimin, who was striding in the direction of the city tower, paused for a moment before he said. "Zhijie, pass the order, prepare guns and sticks for this gambling fight......!"

"No!" Cheng bites Jin and bows. I don't mention it when I go to the herald.

……

The royal chair has already been prepared on the tower of the Xuanwu Gate, and after Li Shimin sat down, a group of civil ministers and military generals, like the stars holding the moon, surrounded Li Shimin, and looked at the city tower together.

Under the castle tower. The bluestone-paved square was the place where the bloody battle for the throne took place seven years ago.

In fact, this Xuanwu Gate is the place Li Shimin likes to come to the most. Because every time I come here, I always think of those two people, those two people who have been dead for many years!

But one has to look forward. Isn't it?

……

Just when the emperor took the lead and all looked down at the top of the city tower, from the direction of the distant military camp, there was a sound of 'da-da' footsteps, but it was a group of left-hand guards who drove over with their eyebrow sticks in their hands.

It's just that what makes everyone feel strange is that these 9,000 Zuowu guards are all wearing standard guard uniforms and not wearing armor.

But despite this, in this cold winter wind, they still look murderous and awe-inspiring, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"What's the matter with these soldiers? Why don't they wear armor? ”

"That's it, is this a contempt for His Royal Highness the Martial King?"

"It's fun to watch this time! With the temperament of His Royal Highness King Wu, this old demon is going to be unlucky! ”

As soon as the nine thousand soldiers appeared in everyone's sight, those generals began to talk about it after they were stunned at first, some mocking, some gloating, and more waiting to see the fun.

Of course, the Wenchens, who have always flaunted their own powerlessness, will not let go of this opportunity, and only listen to them:

"This General Cheng is really broad-minded, in order not to let the thousand soldiers hold on for a little longer, he deliberately let the soldiers take off their own protection!"

"Surrendering the army without a fight is the best policy, General Cheng definitely doesn't want to see it and make the envoys in his hands, so he came up with this strategy, and wants His Royal Highness King Wu to retreat despite the difficulties!"

"Yes, General Cheng is really benevolent!"

Listening to the beeping sound of the literati in his ears, Li Yuanba was very angry in his heart, and he wanted to vomit blood in a depressed mood!

Nima, good old demon Cheng, is this using psychological tactics? Be a. The son also wants to set up the archway, you don't want to. Face guys?

The more he thought about it, the more angry Li Yuanba became, his brows furrowed suddenly, he looked at Cheng Yanjin, who had just rushed back to the city tower, and said, "Cheng Zhijie, what do you mean by this?" ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't seem to hear Li Yuanba's anger, but instead smiled and said:

"Lord Wang, this gambling fight, no matter how you say it, this is also your 1,000 people against my 9,000 people, such a big gap in numbers, I know with my feet that it is my old Cheng who wins! But in order to make your 1,000 people lose so ugly, I Lao Cheng deliberately let the soldiers take off their armor, how about it? I'm old Cheng interesting enough, right? ”

Burst! Enough for your sister's meaning!

This is obviously humiliating, okay?

Li Yuanba almost rushed over and threw this stinky and shameless old goblin from the city tower!

It's really nothing. Shame knows no limit!

Just when Li Yuanba wanted to taunt Cheng Jin fiercely, another heavy footstep sounded, and he saw ten neat phalanx queues, also coming from the direction of Zuo Wuwei's camp.

The ten incomparably neatly formed teams, with the password to make uniform movements, suddenly made the civil and military generals above the city tower feel bright, only to feel that there is a special temperament diffused from the body of these thousand people.

Think about it before, when he walked around the barracks with the emperor, these thousands of people stood in place, motionless as pine, and there seemed to be a different kind of temperament spreading.

"Am I mistaken? Why are they all the same height? ”

"Hit me, I'm going to make sure I'm dreaming?"

"No wonder His Royal Highness King Wu dares to make a bet with General Cheng, just with this unique temperament, he has an extra chance of winning!"

Those civil servants couldn't see anything, but Li Jing and Li Ji, who were in the army, had a trace of essence in their eyes, because they knew what this temperament was, it was the temperament of a soldier!

Even if the thousand people in front of them are not wearing armor or guarding uniforms in the barracks, they can still make people feel that they are soldiers, and they are soldiers!

……

Both armies were ready in the square below, and the voices that were still talking came to an abrupt end.

At this moment, a janissary in black armor hurriedly went up to the city tower, walked up to Li Shimin, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, the armies of both sides are ready. ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Li Yuanba and Cheng Yanjin respectively, and said, "You two, is there anything else you want to say?" ”

It seems that Li Shimin still cares a lot about this gambling fight, otherwise, he would not ask the two again and again!

Cheng Yanjin shook his head.

Li Yuanba glanced at Cheng Jin fiercely, walked straight to the edge of the city tower, and shouted loudly: "The army of thousands of people left Wuwei has listened to this king, and this king now allows you to remove the weight on your body, take off your armor, and only wear combat uniforms to fight!" ”

"No!"

A thousand people roared in the direction of Li Yuanba, the tower, and immediately began to take off the armor on his body.

They took off all the heavy armor from their bodies and threw them aside.

Suddenly, a set of dark green clothes, which seemed to have patches of gray and brown patterns on them, appeared on the bodies of the thousand Zuo Wuwei.

In addition, on their wrists, calves, and waists, there are small cloth bags, and they even untie those small cloth bags!

The bags look heavy, and when they hit each other, they make a 'clanging' sound.

It turned out that these small cloth bags were filled with iron pieces, and one by one the iron pieces were tied to their bodies, at least making them carry an extra twenty catties of weight every day.

For a moment, the soldiers only felt a feeling of comfort that they had never felt before, rising from the soles of their feet, spreading up along the neurons, and spreading all over their bodies in an instant.

Stretching slightly, there was a crunch sound like stir-fried chestnuts coming from their bodies.

It has been half a month of training, and during this half a month, these thousands of soldiers have to carry these small cloth bags every day, except for when they are taking medicinal baths, they can't take them off at other times, when they eat and sleep, or even when they go to the toilet, and the pain during this period can be imagined.

Now, without these damn pieces of iron, the sourness is beyond words!

……

Above the city tower, looking at the small cloth bags on the bodies of the soldiers, Li Shimin felt very strange, and he asked: "Yuanba, what are the small bags on the soldiers?" What's in there? ”

Li Shimin asked the doubts in the hearts of the civil and military ministers present.

Li Yuanba grinned, revealing a mouthful of shiny white teeth, and said, "Brother Huang, that bag is called a weight bag!" And the bag is full of iron, counting from the wrist, plus the calf and waist iron, a total weight of about 20 catties! (To be continued) R580
