On the first day of King Wu's military parade, Gou Jian, according to the arrangement of the palace guards, sent four horse-wrenching horses that he took care of and cooked by himself to the palace stables.

Gou Jian and Fan Lijunchen, after handing over the horses, slept next to the stable under the arrangement of the palace guards, and barely made do with it all night.

Early the next morning, I heard the noise of people in the palace, and a burst of messy footsteps. Gou Jian and Fan Li had to be cautious everywhere, not daring to say a word or taking one more step.

As soon as the hour passed, a royal came to set up the carriage, and ordered Gou Jian and Fan Li to take the reins of the horse and arrive at the gate of the Qinsheng Palace.

At this time, the door of the palace of Qinsheng Palace was opened, and first a long guard of honor, those attendants held various colored scarves and dragon flags symbolizing the king's power, and came out of the palace in a mighty way. The husband stepped out of the palace gate under the escort of his attendants, and he walked towards the carriage, and saw the prince and minister of Gou Jian, who were standing with their heads bowed, and seemed to be very satisfied, he patted the shoulder of the horse, and then boarded the carriage of the horse.

A guard came over and said to Gou Jian and Fan Li: "The king ordered you to wait for the monarch and the ministers to take the reins and lead the horse, and the king is going to parade outside the city, you must be careful!" ”

The two monarchs and ministers had to be subservient, each holding the reins of their horses, one left and one right, walking in front of the chariot of the husband.

The convoy and honor guard left the Qinsheng Palace, passed the Changle Palace, went out of the main gate of the palace, and came to the street.

"Look, the one leading the horse on the left is the king of Yue, and the one leading the horse on the right is the defeated general of the Yue Kingdom."

"Why didn't you see Queen Yue this time? Last time, I saw the king and queen of Yue, sitting in a carriage, entering the city from the South Gate Street. ”

"This king of Yue must be a faint king, making the people of Yue miserable. Otherwise, this great river and mountain will be broken by our king today. The country will not be a country! ”

"It's still our king's kindness, the first king was killed by the king of Yue's general Linggufu, but even if the king broke his promise, he didn't kill the king of Yue, our king is really a benevolent and righteous king!"

I only heard the voice of an old man: "This Yue Wang is not simple!" A man who can endure such a humiliation is a man of men. You look at this monarch and minister of the Yue Kingdom, his face seems to be respectful, but in fact, he hates it in his heart! ”

"Go! Go! Some of the forbidden troops came and stopped the hustle and bustle, and the long line went all the way west. He went out of the west gate and came to the camp of the dragon banner army.

In the camp of the Longwan Army, Wang Sun Luo had already led generals at all levels to welcome King Wu outside the camp gate.

However, it was said that Fan Li drove into the camp of the Longwan Army with King Wu's car, so he cheered up and carefully examined all the arrangements in the barracks. The height of the gate and the setting of the watchtower. The staggered camp tents and the communication and connection of the three armies. Fan Li remembered every moment.

And Fan Li is more concerned. This dragon banner army is the main team of the Wu army, whether it is the protective armor shield or the sharp sword and spear, it is the most advanced representative of the Wu army's weapons. Especially the Wu hook with slightly curved willow leaves, which made Fan Li even more intoxicated.

Wu Hook is the representative weapon of Wu State, with a smooth curve and a sharp edge that breaks through the air. The water-like blade makes the Wu hook extremely suitable for close combat. Fan Li has always had a soft spot for Wu Hook, so he ordered Jinong to visit the master Xue Candle. I want Xue Zhu to create a willow leaf scimitar belonging to the Yue Kingdom for himself.

Fan Li came back to his senses, and at this time he only heard the sound of drumming outside the Chinese army's tent on the drill field.

I saw a group of generals like King Wu and Wang Sun Luo appearing on the platform of the Chinese army. King Wu sat in the middle of the marshal position, and Wang Sun Luo was the commander of the Dragon Banner Army, so he personally presided over the parade. After the drum sounded the three links, the battle formations under review began to drill in formation.

At the front was a column of light cavalry, carrying long bows, quivers at their waists, and holding Wu hooks high in their right hands. In wartime, this light cavalry mainly takes surprise attacks and small-scale long-distance raids as its main combat tasks, Wu hooks as its main weapons in close combat, and bows and arrows as its killing weapons at long distances.

They were followed by armourers, who held shields in their left hands and swords in their right. In wartime, this armor soldier mainly guards the position in front and does not let the enemy easily impulse the formation, so it mainly focuses on protection.

When the armor soldiers walked by, they were followed by the Changge team. This Changge team is the main offensive force of the infantry in wartime, and uses the long-distance advantage of the spear Changge to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.

Behind the Changge team was a column of archers. Archers are the most effective type of force for long-range combat, and at the beginning of the battle between the two armies, the archers are hidden under the cover of the armorers, and can carry out sneak attacks on enemy soldiers or enemy generals who are fighting in front of the battle. Especially in sneak attacks and interception battles, the role of archers is irreplaceable.

At the end of the battle is the array of chariots. Fan Li took a closer look and found that the chariot of the Wu army was slightly higher than the general chariot by about half a foot, and between the two horses, there was a horizontal rein that made the two horses closely connected, so that the two horses would not run apart due to fierce shocks during the war. Fan Li found this, and felt a burst of joy in his heart: it seems that Wu Guo's horse control technique is becoming more and more mature, and he is really overjoyed to be able to observe Wu Jun's equipment so closely this time.

A chariot is actually a miniature combat unit, also known as a ride. Fan Li carefully distinguished, and in this chariot array, it was divided into three train formations.

At the front is the array of light chariots, and the core part of this array of light chariots is a two-horse chariot, and in the middle is a royal with a bronze sword at his waist; There is a person on the left who is the left of the rook, holding a curved bow in his hand, hanging an arrow pouch at his waist, and shooting with sharp arrows for long-distance shooting in wartime; And the one on the left side of the car is holding Changge, which is the main force in the hand-to-hand decisive battle. Generally, Che Zuo is a brave general, either with infinite strength or extraordinary martial arts. On the left flank, right flank, and rear of the chariot, 25 soldiers were each in a column of fives, and a total of 75 foot soldiers escorted the chariot.

The light car was followed by a rush of cars. This rush is usually used when attacking enemy formations and siege cities. The chariot is a mobile wooden platform made of yuan wood, equipped with eight large wheels underneath, and the main power is propelled by the soldiers under the car. At the front of the chariot, there was brass armor to protect the foot soldiers from enemy bows and arrows.

Walking in the back of the line is the formation of the chariots, which are actually heavy chariots. In front is a horse, the body is wider, and on the wood of the front chariot, there is also brass armor. There were also three people on the chariot, but there were more foot soldiers guarding around the chariot, 36 on the left and right wings and 36 on the rear, and the total number of foot soldiers guarding the chariot reached 108.

Fan Li naturally understood that Wu Wangfu not only had to physically labor and torture Goujian, the king of Yue, but also humiliated and attacked psychologically, so that Goujian lost his ambition and sank himself. This military parade can even deter the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, and it seems to tell them: The Wu State is so powerful, do you the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom still have any thoughts?!

Fan Li turned his head and looked at Gou Jian beside him, and saw that his eyes were slightly closed and his face was blank.

After watching the military parade of King Wu, there were guards on the stage who got off the stage and came to pass on Gou Jian and Fan Li to the general stage of the Chinese army, saying that King Wu was going to summon the kings and ministers of Yue.

Gou Jian and Fan Li knelt down in front of their husbands. Seeing that the two of them were coarsely dressed and dressed in rags, the husband smiled slightly and said, "Is it okay for the prince to be in the stone room?" ”

Gou Jian's face did not change, and replied: "Thanks to the king's compassion, the guilty minister is fine." ”

King Wu signaled to Fan Li: "General Fan is a general of the Yue Kingdom, so he is naturally familiar with battle formations and the art of war. After our army fought in the south and the north, forced Chu to break through South Vietnam, I don't know if you are the two monarchs and ministers, and you have seen the arrangement of my dragon banner army, but what do you think? ”

"The majesty of the king's army is far and wide, Fan Li is the general of the defeated army, how dare he comment on the king's heroic division?"

After hearing this, the husband smiled and said to Gou Jian: "As the king of a country, you are worthy of leading the horse for the widow in front of everyone's eyes today?"

Gou Jian didn't change color at all, and said slowly: "The sinner offended the kingdom, and he deserved it." Gou Jian into Wu as a hostage, willing to be driven by the king, leading the horse to hold the reins, is the duty of the minister, what is the shame of the minister? ”

The husband almost nodded, and ordered: "You two monarchs and ministers should go back to the stone room!" The widow knows that the culture is in the Yue country to defend the country, and your monarch and minister are in Wu, please tell the country that there must be no bad intentions. If it is known by the widow, it will not be spared! ”

After speaking, King Wu ordered to drive back to the palace, and Gou Jian and Fan Li took the reins for their husbands in the same way. Back in the stone room, Gou Jian and Fan Li still fed the horse and guarded the tomb. (To be continued......)
