Chapter 512: Show off your strength

When this conference was not held, many people thought that they were not inferior to the Datang army, if they were to say that they did not have a strong leader, since their defeat, the Datang did not allow them to contact each other, which is also where they resented.

After the two sides competed today, they knew what was the difference between themselves and Datang, no matter in all aspects, they were already lagging behind, even if there was a leader, it was impossible to surpass Datang now.

"It's rare for colleagues to come here, just taking advantage of today's opportunity, I also want everyone to take a look at our Datang army and see what shortcomings they have, you can speak freely and accept it with an open mind."

After defeating the Turks, don't think that this is the end, take advantage of today's opportunity, Li Xiang wants to let people from all walks of life see, our Datang is not much stronger than before, if you are still like this half-hearted, don't blame us for being unkind to you in the future.

These tribal leaders also knew that Li Xiang wanted to show off his strength, and it happened that they also wanted to see how strong the Tang army was, so when Li Xiang finished speaking, these people also stretched their necks and looked into the distance.

Soon someone felt a slight vibration on the ground, this kind of vibration, if you don't feel it, it is almost impossible to feel, but when you feel it, you will know that the cavalry in the distance is not far from you, and the people on the grassland know that this kind of vibration is very important for a tribe, if you feel it at the beginning, then your tribe can still be saved, but if it is after that moment or three, your tribe is waiting to be slaughtered by others.

Although they all belong to the Turkic people, the tribes are not harmonious, just like in the Tuyuhun steppe, because of the problem of water and grass grazing, the fighting between the tribes is also constant, but they are also under the orders of the Turkic Khan, so under the suppression of the Turkic Khan, the fighting between the tribes is not very big, and they can still get along with each other.

And for the Turkic Khan, the fighting between the tribes was also good for him, allowing the tribes to train their own warriors and grow up slowly in this kind of fighting, the Turks paid attention to natural selection, believing that only the soldiers left over from the battle were the best soldiers in the steppe.

These people who came today are the best soldiers, when they felt a slight shock, they didn't feel much surprised, it is normal for Datang to have a powerful cavalry, but what surprised them happened a few seconds later, in their minds, after this slight shock, it would take two or three minutes for the cavalry to arrive, who knew that less than a minute had passed, and the cavalry in the distance had already come.

The infantry marched in a neat formation, which was very normal, and there was nothing to show off, and now there were many infantry phalanxes, with shield men in the front, spearmen in the back, and archers in the back.

But if you train the cavalry into a phalanx, the difficulty in the middle will increase more than tenfold, the most important thing is that the war horse is livestock, although the war horse is spiritual, but you want to train the war horse like a person, it's not that it can't be achieved, it's just that there are very few such cases.

At this moment, a cavalry team of 5,000 people also came, and this cavalry square was arranged neatly, almost like a person from beginning to end.

The Turks are not quiet at this time, in their legends, it seems that their ancestors once had such an army, as long as there is such an army, it is also easy to command, no matter what kind of enemy you are in front of, this kind of cavalry can be crushed, they are because such a square has a unified command, and the strength can be used in one place, which is extremely rare on the battlefield.

But now their hearts are a little sad, they should feel happy when they see the legendary cavalry, but at this moment this cavalry belongs to the Tang Dynasty, which has nothing to do with them, if this cavalry appears in a Turkic tribe, it means that they are expected to rise.

But now that they appeared in the cavalry team of the Tang Dynasty, many people closed their eyes helplessly, they knew that in the last few decades, there would be no freedom in the entire Turkic steppe, no matter what they wanted to do, they had to ask for the consent of the Tang Dynasty.

"You are all experts in training cavalry, don't you know what you think about my cavalry? I also want to be able to train them well, so that they can better serve Datang in the future, you can say what opinions you have, once you adopt it, I will exempt you from a year's offering. ”

Li Xiang deliberately said this, let all the people take a good look at this cavalry, all the people didn't know how to answer Li Xiang, when they looked at Li Xiang, they couldn't help but avoid Li Xiang's eyes, this is a kind of aggressive look, the Turkic steppe can't resist this person.

"Your Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose."

These people didn't know how to answer Li Xiang, so they could only kneel in front of Li Xiang one after another, and then answer Li Xiang with this.

"Everyone, get up, there are many opportunities for you to guide them in the future, this king is going to set up three cavalry battalions on the Turkic steppe, each cavalry battalion has 5,000 people, all of them are such cavalry, let them work with you to ensure the safety of the Turkic steppe, and there will never be such a thing as Xue Yantuo's invasion in the future."

Li Xiang said casually, but this word can make the surrounding people feel cold, 15,000 cavalry is not a big number for them, in the past, some large tribes could be withdrawn, but after this war, there are not many tribes that can draw out 3,000 cavalry, and the Tang Dynasty left 15,000 cavalry here, which means that whatever they do in the future, they will have to do it under the supervision of this fifteen thousand cavalry.

In addition, there is a fatal matter, although the Tang Dynasty has stipulated the number of tributes to them, but in the past, there were always some people who were short of catties and taels, and they couldn't send troops to quarrel because of this little thing anyway, so these people are also used to it, but if there are these three cavalry battalions, I'm afraid some things will be difficult to say, you have fewer cattle and sheep today, and tomorrow people will come to get them themselves on horseback.
