Text Chapter 13 The Battle between Shenwu and Beiwei 3
Originally, Zhao Ming wanted to find a thick thigh hug with his familiar history, but it took a long time to know that this was a natural combination. History played a Thomas maneuver here in the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty. In the year An Lushan, Shi Siming led the alien race to ravage the Central Plains, and the entire north and northwest of the Tang Dynasty completely fell.
Tang Emperor Li Longji moved the capital in panic but did not flee to Chengdu, and took the later Suzong Li Xiang to Yangzhou to stop and watch.
Zhao Ming's ancestor Zhao Po rose up in response to the situation and led the abandoned Han people in the north to organize a righteous army, and under impossible circumstances, he broke the 150,000-strong army composed of An Lushan and the Luo, Xi, Khitan, Murwei, Turkic and other ethnic groups. forced An Lushan to retreat to the Hetao generation and called himself King Zhao.
Just as Zhao Po was about to go west again to exterminate An Lushan, Tianfu Yingcai died violently on the march, and it became the most regrettable thing for the founding emperor to not be able to exterminate An.
The newly-born Northern Zhao also suffered from domestic chaos and lost the best opportunity to rule by rowing the river. With the support of foreign races, the Northwest An clan took the opportunity to gain a foothold and establish the Yan Kingdom. The world calls it Xiyan. Since then, the three kingdoms of Northern Zhao, Western Yan and Southern Tang have been established, and there have been countless wars in the past hundred years, but no one can help anyone because they have their own considerations.
The Southern Tang Dynasty occupied the land south of the Yangtze River and Bashu, and was the richest and had the most soldiers. However, he still followed the former Tang Dynasty system, and all parts of the country were made to stand side by side, and the private soldiers were serious. The royal family was greatly damaged by the abandonment of the people in the Northlands, and there was not much territory actually under their control.
Among them, the Bashu region is even more obedient to the propaganda and does not listen to the tune, and the festival degree makes the control of the region, for their own interests, the door valve system is resurrected, and the gate valve clan around the country controls the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty. The entire Southern Tang Dynasty was scattered, but the strongest national strength was repeatedly defeated, and even Xiyan, who gritted his teeth with hatred, couldn't help it.
The Western Yan are mainly of different races, and the Han people are a third-class ethnic group in the northwest. Most of them belong to the civilian slave class. After An Lushan's death, his son An Sishun vigorously reformed, separated the military and the government, relied on the five foreign clans in military affairs, reused Han officials in political affairs, supported the sinicization of the five ethnic groups, and stabilized the country. In the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, it withstood the continuous attacks of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Zhao Dynasty, and then continued to expand to the west, unifying the Western Regions and controlling the Silk Road, and the financial and military resources were also not to be underestimated.
Northern Zhao was the most enlightened, vigorously promoted the status of the imperial examination, stimulated the economy, and encouraged the folk martial arts. The whole country is grateful to Emperor Xian of Northern Zhao for not abandoning his compatriots, and the people's hearts have always been stable. It's just that the location of Beizhao is a little awkward, there are nomads in the north from time to time, and Xiyan is the enemy of the feud in the west. In the south, the Southern Tang Dynasty regarded the Northern Zhao as a person who took advantage of the fire to rob, and the same Han family was dressed and did not work together. From time to time, they also suppressed and seized land. If it weren't for the kings of the Northern Zhao Dynasty, most of them were virtuous people, and I am afraid they would not have been able to support it for so long.
It is in such a chaotic time and time, and a hundred years have passed. Zhao Ming's soul came to this strongest and weakest Great Zhao.
Seven days later. South Garden of the South of the City. In order to encourage future generations not to forget their martial arts, the ancestors of Northern Zhao deliberately set aside a piece of land in the south of the city as a royal hunting ground when they set up the capital Bianliang.
In addition to the hunting held by the royal family, this hunting ground was more reduced to the peacetime training place of the Beijing Fourth Army, so the Beijing Fourth Army was very familiar with this place, and both armies felt very fair about the venue.
Every autumn, the emperor and the royal children, civil and military ministers have to participate in the autumn hunt, which is the rule set by the founding ancestor of the country, which is intended to inspire future generations to be prepared for danger in times of peace and show their strength in the world.
In addition, due to the large number of personnel in Beijing and the limited space, most of the military exercises of various armies are also set up here. Therefore, there are also school grounds and garrison camps in the hunting grounds, which are very convenient.
In order to arouse the blood of the royal children and expand their horizons. Today's military exercise, Zhao Hao not only mentioned Zhao Ming, but also brought the prince and other four sons to sit on a special high platform in the school field.
The rest also include the commander of the Second Army, the secretary of the military department and people related to military exercises. As for Shenwu, the soldiers of the Second Army who participated in the military exercise had long been familiar with the venue and vowed to beat the other party to death.
For today's military exercise, the Ministry of Industry also specially built a high platform on a soil slope, which is located in the middle of the boundary between the military exercise camps of the two armies, so that it is convenient for the emperor to watch. Overhead the pergola, on the table is also placed the cold drinks prepared by the imperial dining room.
Is this a military exercise or a spring outing? Zhao Ming secretly complained below. I feel worthless for the two armies who are facing the scorching sun.
Zhao Hao sat down on the main seat of the high platform, and his eyes swept away. The boss looked excited, the second child smiled, the prince was expressionless, the fifth child lacked interest, and the sixth child was hanging. I couldn't help but spoil my interest. He lightly instructed Wynne: "Let's start." ”
"The Second Army is coming!" Wynne called out loudly, and the herald standing on the left side of the platform waved the red flag. The Second Army was ordered to enter the field.
"The back army is trapped here!" After a hearty shout in response.
I saw a bright red flag leaping up in the distance, and the sometimes strong wind raised the flag of the trapped camp high. Following this banner is a silent and rigorous army. The soldier wore Fan Yangli on his head, wore ring iron armor, held a spear in his right hand, a shield in his left hand, a sword at his waist, and carried a crossbow and crossbow arrows behind his back. This outfit is estimated to be forty or fifty pounds.
A column of ten people walked very neatly. The whole army could hear no noise except for the footsteps of the same man walking and the crash of armor. It is obviously sound, but it gives people a sense of silence.
The dust stirred up by the footsteps shrouded the silent army in it, and it was impossible to see its true face, as if it were a group of ghosts crawling out of the Yellow Spring. Quietly waiting for the prey to choose a man to devour. Even the civil and military ministers sitting on the high platform couldn't help but feel cold.
When they got closer, everyone could see the true face of this army, and what was even more frightening was that the expressions of the soldiers of the entire army were roughly the same, the same indifference, the same determination, and their eyes revealed the fierceness of looking at everyone like the enemy.
"Captain Galen of Zhaowu under the account of the Beiwei army and a thousand soldiers from the sinking camp under his command to visit Your Majesty, long live our emperor!" Galen fell off his horse and knelt on one knee, his movements pleasing to the eye.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The soldiers below hit the shield with spears, and the power shook the sky. Many civil servants turned pale with fright.
"Flat, a good tiger general." Zhao Hao was very satisfied, turned his head to Yue Ju, the commander of the Wei Army, and said, "Aiqing has a good way of governing the army. He is really a group of tigers and wolves! ”
"Your Majesty's praise!" Yue Ju's face was expressionless, as if it was not him who was praising him, he clasped his fists and saluted, and the soldiers in the army did not need to kneel and worship when they were in armor.
Feng Po on the side sneered with a sneering face: "General Yue has invested so much money that he has even pulled out the trapping camp that has conquered everything. It seems that the ambition is bound to win! ”
"Your subordinates are fighting, you can admit defeat." Yue Ju said lightly.
This is a dead facial paralysis! Feng Po was upset by this sentence: "I'm afraid? I'm afraid you won't be beaten to the north later! Your Majesty, look at the appearance of my Shenwu Army! ”
"Hmm" Zhao Hao nodded, and Huai En would order the soldiers to display the blue flag and beat the marching drum.
Not far from the valley, hundreds of horsemen rode up, and the horses' hooves smashed the ground, and the dust was flying, and the ground was trembling.
The cold light on the blade of the flat spear formed a dazzling silver line. Like a turbulent wave, people can't resist it. A horse at the head is a silver-armored young general, less than a hundred steps away from the high platform, suddenly stopped the horse under the crotch, a spear in his hand, and hundreds of horses behind him suddenly stopped in unison. From galloping to stationary, a movement and stillness are only a few breaths. Strict rectification one.
"Feng Wu, under the command of the Shenwu Army, led the Shenwu Army to meet His Majesty." The young man pointed his spear at the ground and struck the breastplate with his left hand.
"Xiao Wu? How are you? Zhao Hao didn't expect that the main general of this battle would be her!
Since ancient times, it cannot be said that there have been no female generals, but after all, they are in the minority. What's more, a little girl you watched grow up suddenly grew up, and the silver armor and silver spear stood heroically in front of you, Zhao Hao inevitably felt unaccustomed, "No courtesy, Xiao Wu, why are you here to mess around!" ”
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, why can't a member of the Wuyi Shenwu Army go to war?"
"This..."Zhao Hao turned his head to look at the veteran Feng Po, and saw that he was also smiling bitterly, so he lost his temper.
"The old puppet deceives people too much!" Just when Zhao Hao was debating whether to rebuke Feng Wu, a loud shout came from his right hand that really startled him.
"What's wrong with General Yue, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, you still have to ask this old horseman!"
"Hey, hey!" The old general Feng Po explained with a nonchalant face, "His back army is only a thousand people from the strongest trap camp, and the old minister is about the same." It's just drawn from various departments of the Shenwu Army. What's all the fuss. ”
Shameless! Everyone's hearts couldn't help but give a middle finger to this white-haired veteran Momo.
The backlash army just picked the strongest one, you old rascal is good, gather the elite of the army. Those who were familiar with the Shenwu Army also found that among the hundreds of cavalry, there were many people who were originally captains or even hundred generals standing shamelessly behind Feng Wu with the equipment of a pawn.
If the 700 cavalry on the real battlefield are all wiped out, then all the middle and lower-level officers will be finished, and the Shenwu Army will be considered useless!
"There is a cloud in the art of war, the husband is counted as the winner without a fight, and the temple is counted as a lot without a fight, and the temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is counted as less, and there is no victory if there is more, and there is no victory." Feng Po ignored everyone's gaze, for the sake of his granddaughter's first victory, he didn't plan to ask for this old face. "Your Majesty didn't explicitly say that the whole battalion must be transferred, and it is not a violation for the old minister to be transferred from the whole army, right?"
There are such brazen people in the world! Everyone was stunned and looked at the old handsome man who was still triumphant, and forgot to refute for a while.
"What General Feng said is not unreasonable, so be it." Emperor Zhao Hao, who was drilled into a big loophole, blushed, what else can he do if he makes such a fuss. Can the Shenwu Army be forced to redeploy? , this back and forth, do you want to compare today? It's better to eat this stuffy loss if a good military exercise makes it a tiger and a snake tail.
"The old puppet Hugh wants to be proud, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer!" Yue Ju has a rigid personality, and when he sees the emperor speaking, he will not dwell on this matter.
"Zhou Aiqing, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, you can announce the rules." Zhao Hao said after giving Yue Ju an apologetic look.
"Obey the order!" Zhou Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took a few steps forward after saluting, stood on a high platform and read aloud the rules drawn up by the Ministry of War.
"The two armies each have three battalions. The left and right two battalions will score two points for breaking through the first battalion, and the main battalion will score six points for breaking through. On the other hand, if the coach is captured, it is considered a failure and will not be scored. The soldiers of the two armies grabbed the cloth head, wrapped the knife around the cloth piece, and the arrow took the arrowhead. The head and torso are considered dead and cannot be fought again. If the coaches of both teams are unharmed, the score will be scored after one hour, and the one with the highest score wins. Camps can be fought over and over again. Can the two armies understand? ”
"The last general understands!" Feng Wu and Galen replied in unison.
"The two armies then returned to the camp to arrange defense, and the martial arts exercise began after the two pillars of incense!"
