Chapter 113: Soldiers on the School Field, Battle Might [Two in One]

Near noon, the white clouds are elegant, and the sky is blue.

Liu Qing came out of the hall, with a bright and pretty face with a little ruddy.

She and Huo Qubing met at the main entrance of the Changding Palace.

Liu Qing seems to be calm, but in fact, there is some shyness of the bride when she sees her fiancΓ©.

However, compared with usual, Huo Qu's disease is not abnormal at all.

When men and women reach an age, they want to marry and marry, everyone is like this, he doesn't feel embarrassed, and his expression is calm.

Liu Qing didn't have his kind of cheeky skills, and under his scorching gaze, he subconsciously looked away.

"Your Majesty wants to watch the drill of the guards, let me drill the military formation on the outskirts of the city tomorrow, and let the ministers go with me. I'll come and ask if the princess wants to go and see with me." ”

Ordinary people are dating in the wind and snow, and Huo Qu is sick and invites people to see Jin Ge Iron Horse.

According to the original plan, in about half a month, the Xiongnu will be attacked.

At this time, the emperor wanted to personally watch the military drills, and he also had the intention of being heroic.

Another reason is that the Chang'an Guard system, especially the Northern Army, has repeatedly had problems.

Since the founding of Gaozu, there have been relatives who have placed people in it.

Emperor Liu Che asked Huo Qu to take charge of the post of lieutenant commander of Lang, with jurisdiction over the forbidden army, the northern army and the southern army, and he had the intention of taking the opportunity to eliminate the internal troubles of the guards.

Huo Qubing was familiar with the position of Lang Zhongling during this time, and the emperor wanted to come to watch the military prestige in person, which was also a test for him.

I'm going to watch the military drill tomorrow, and I'll tell him today.

He was only given one day to prepare, with some intention of comparing his achievements in governing the army.

The emperor was personally there, and at the same time it was a kind of support.

In order to reassure him that he boldly reformed the Guards, he could clean up the Northern Army.

Liu Qing happily accepted the invitation: "Of course I'm willing to go and have a look." ”

Huo Qu responded to the illness, bowed and left, preparing to go directly to the garrison outside the city to make many arrangements.

That's it...... Liu Qing was stunned.

At noon the next day, Huo Qubing came as promised to pick up Liu Qing to go to the school outside the city.

Liu Qing waited for a long time in the morning, and came out of the hall, changing into a blue and white Liuxian skirt, with a delicate face.

I have to go to the school to order troops and inspect the army. Huo Quzhi was dressed in bright silver armor, and his pen was as straight as a gun.

"Let's go, there are some things to discuss with the princess on the road." Huo Quzhi turned around and pointed to the frame not far away.

"Do you want to ride in a chariot......

Although he has been accused of marriage, he is not yet married after all, and he rides in the same frame, which is a bit unruly.

However, Huo Quzhi has never been a person who cares about rules. Liu Qing asked, his footsteps were already behind him, and he consciously walked towards the frame.

Huo Quzhi boarded the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand to pick up Liu Qing.

Her Royal Highness pursed her lips, her eyes with thick eyelashes flickered slightly, and she timidly handed out her little hand, let him hold it, lifted it up, and both of them boarded the frame.

The heavy yarn hung down, and there were only two people in the car.

There was a basin of ice cubes in the car, and it was very cool.

Otherwise, it would not be comfortable to sit in the car on such a hot day.

This ice basin was obviously prepared for Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's heart was slightly sweet, so he sat down on one side first, and gave up the main seat to Huo Quai.

Not far away, Qin Qingyu came out of the hall and saw that his apprentice had been abducted again, so he had no choice but to get into the Luan car that belonged to Liu Qing behind him.

The team left Changle Palace and drove out of the city.

At this time, the big cat appeared at the foot of the wall on one side, jumped under the chariot silently, hooked the wooden wheel next to the car with its paws, and hung its body on the wall of the car, listening to the movement in the car.

"The will of the imperial brother has been sent to me, and it has been said that Huo Hou... Marriage with Hongu. Liu Qing's voice was clear, and he glanced at Huo Quai.

"Your Majesty wants me to marry the princess in the autumn."

Huo Qu was sick and worried that the emperor said that the autumn time, that is, the end of the war against the Xiongnu soon after, the emperor hoped that he could return to the court with the power of victory, and then marry the princess.

Liu Qing asked in a low voice: "After marrying Huo Hou, can you... Don't have sex right away? ”

"I told the imperial brother that it will take some time for me to complete the technique of closing the consciousness of the original spirit."

When it comes to having sex with her, even her greasy neck is rosy.

After marriage, I will have the same room, and the initiative is mine, and then I can't help you......

"I told the imperial brother before that it would take at least three or five years to cultivate the technique of closing the consciousness of the primordial gods, which is a prevarication, and I don't want to marry so early. In fact, it doesn't take that long, at most a year can be successful. And then...... Then ......" Liu Qing didn't know how to go on.

"Then you can round the house."

Huo Quzhi said: "Promise the princess first." ”

Liu Qing was a little unmastered, so he didn't pay attention to the three words first, the hidden meaning, and nodded reassuringly when he heard the words.

Huo Qu said suddenly: "The princess didn't want to marry before, so she shirked and said that it would take three or five years, and later I found out that it was me, so I agreed?" ”

Liu Qing's face was completely red, and he almost covered his face with his hands, and hummed imperceptibly.

In a few moments, the carriage was out of the city and out of the city.

On the outskirts of the city, there were a lot of people who came.

The square school field of the Guards, covering an area of three or four hundred zhang, has a high platform on the ground in the middle.

The Emperor had just stepped into the high platform at the other end of the school and took his seat.

Twenty or thirty ministers of civil and military affairs came, divided into two columns, like a court meeting.

Liu Qing also saw that many people from the clan were also present, accompanying the emperor to watch the drill together.

After she and Huo Qu got out of the car, they walked to the high platform, and whispered as they walked: "Chen Ji, the heir of Sister Longxi's family, was injured a few days ago, and the Marquis of Longshu also rushed over from the fief to visit. Be careful. ”

Huo Quzhi felt that his eyes had been watching him from the moment he got out of the car.

It was a middle-aged, tall man, who was none other than Long Xihou.

He was the son of Liu Xuan, the princess of Qianguantao, and Chen Wu, the marquis of Tangyi, and the brother of Liu Che's first empress.

Empress Chen lost power, Wei Zifu became the second empress, and Marquis Longxi also lost his prestige. He has lived in a fief for many years, and rarely comes to Chang'an to attract attention.

This time, when I heard the news of Princess Longxi, I rushed from the fiefdom.

There is still some lingering shade in his family, and he has a lot of contacts with some civil and military ministers and even people from the clan.

The Hou Chen Chan was very strong, with strong hair on his face and short hair on his chin, looking very powerful. But his eyes are unruly, and his son Chen Ji is somewhat similar in temperament.

He was sitting with the people of the clan on the edge of the high platform, and when he saw Huo Qubing getting off the car, he asked the person beside him: "Is that Huo Quai, who is backed by Wei's family?" ”

The name of the clan next to him is Liu Yi, with white hair and white beard, and he is the elder of the first emperor's generation:

"It's really Huo Qu's illness, and he has military exploits. His Majesty has just promised Pingxian to him, which shows the degree of favor. ”

Long Xihou snorted secretly, staring at Huo Quai, who was walking towards the emperor, and then looked at Liu Qing, who was incomparable and charming beside him, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

The school has a high platform.

At the behest of the emperor, Wenchen also came a lot.

Behind Dong Zhongshu, Sima Qian, Bai Yu, Zhou Ping, Daxing Ling Li Xi and others who had newly returned to Chang'an, were all there.

Sima Qian said in a low voice: "I was just going to ask the teacher, what is the purpose of Your Majesty coming to the school to watch the drill of the guards at this time?" ”

Dong Zhongshu habitually stroked his beard with one hand, and was quite satisfied with Sima Qian's ability to see that the emperor was not just watching the guards to practice, but he did not answer, but shook his head slightly, meaning that he was not ready to talk more, and there were many people.

Sima Qian smiled, didn't ask any more questions, turned his head and chatted with Bai Yu next to him:

"When I walk outside, I often hear the people talk about the prestige of my Han army, have you ever seen the training of soldiers?"

Bai Yu smiled bitterly: "No, but the champion who led the troops this time is skilled, extraordinary, and has been taught by his brother."

His Majesty gave him the title of Marquis, you can know its meaning. ”

Sima Qian: "When I walked around the place, I also heard a lot of praise for this champion Hou, and I was about to take a look at his military training methods to see what was surprising. ”

At this time, Liu Qing went to the side and sat down with Qin Qingyu, and Huo Quzhi came to the emperor: "Your Majesty." ”

Liu Che waved his hand and signaled that he could start training.

On the school field, Huo Quzhi turned around and made a gesture to Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu in the distance.

Knock - knock!

The drums of war suddenly beat, and the sound shook the school field.

In the Han Dynasty, the command of battle formations and the way of conveying orders were not only confined to war drums or bells, but also flags, arrows and horns.

But when commanding a large army, the most used war drums are still the most used, because they have strong penetrating power and can be transmitted to every corner of the battlefield.

On the battlefield where cold weapons are clashing, whether or not orders can be transmitted and implemented in a timely manner is one of the main reasons for determining victory or defeat.

Therefore, the way of signaling the battlefield is very important.

All sides are working hard to study that whoever can carry out orders and prohibitions and transmit accurate and efficient interrogations is equivalent to grasping the initiative on the battlefield.

At this time, as soon as the war drums sounded, the vibration on the ground suddenly became violent, like a thunderbolt.

There were two teams of soldiers and horses, from the other side of the school field two hundred zhang away, suddenly rushed into the school field.

The two teams were each dressed in black armor and dark red blood, riding on military horses.

When they entered the school field, they came out of the water in two formations, and they marched in unison.

Then the queue is quickly interspersed, the left column to the right, the right column to the left, the subtlety lies in the two sides of each other's position, staggered, like gears biting each other, interlocking.

The entire team of thousands of troops did not stagnate at all. Every other person, interspersed left and right.

The process of changing the military formation is as swift as flowing water, which is breathtaking.

The kind of picture of thousands of troops galloping and running wildly has a sense of shock that drives people's hearts.

"This military drill training, what projects have you arranged to get sick, can there be a battle array drill?" The Emperor asked.

Huo Quzhi: "There are not only battle formation drills, but also magical powers, and several military formations have made some improvements, and I am about to ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Everyone around was listening to the conversation between the two, and they all looked sideways when they heard the words.

You must know that since the Spring and Autumn Period, the art of military formations has a long history. From the mixed battle formation of the Warring States Chariot and Disciples, the Zheng State Yanyue Formation, the Wei Shu Phalanx, the Wu State Infantry Formation, the Qin Dynasty Army Formation, etc., it has evolved from generation to generation.

The soldiers of the past generations have been striving for perfection and have been very mature, and it is not easy to change slightly.

Therefore, Huo Quzhi said that his technique of the military formation actually changed and improved.

From a certain point of view, this is equivalent to saying that he can be compared to the great sages of the past dynasties, so that he dares to optimize and improve the military formations they have handed down.

Even Liu Che's rarely changed face showed a little surprise, and the others even looked at Huo Quzhi in unison.

During this time, Dong Zhongshu, Fan, and Zhou Ping, who had already recognized Huo Quai's talent in military affairs, couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this.

Improving the military formation and fighting a war in actual combat are completely different levels.

Not to mention Huo Quai, even Wei Qing, everyone doesn't think that he can compare with those sages who have studied the military formation and laid the foundation of the military family.

A cadre of civil servants, together with some military generals, were a little unimpressed.

If you want to improve the military formation, if you can make a slight change, it is already commendable...... That's what the majority thinks.

Hehe...... Someone chuckled, and it was the direction where Hou Chen Chan was.

On the school ground, there were 2,000 cavalrymen rushing into the field.

They staggered through in a double array, and then changed into a scissor array, and the queue continued to change in the rapid gallop.

The sound of horses' hooves roared.

The team suddenly split into two columns on the school field, rode left and right, and roared towards the central viewing platform.

Huo Quzhi made a gesture, and in the next moment, the whole army suddenly stopped moving.

The visual impact of moving at high speed, reining in at the same time, and stopping suddenly, made some people shiver quietly.

The Wenchen, who had thought that the battle array drill was nothing to look forward to, and the people of the clan couldn't help but be attracted by the military columns on the school field.

Thousands of armies gathered, and the prosperity of the soldiers was far beyond their expectations.

And that's just the beginning.

Crash!

The queue is reorganized, and the action is made again, from slow to fast.

They entered with an array of double Jiao out of the water, and at this moment quickly turned into a three-talent army formation, followed by a four-door bottom formation, a five-army formation, and then a six-ding and six-armor formation.

By the time the queue was displayed in the formation of the five armies, Dong Zhongshu had already seen the key, his back was slightly straightened, and his face showed a touch of surprise.

Sima Qian also quickly saw the essence of it, and asked in a low voice:

"Master, this is the Five Army Beast Hunting Array that the Marquis of Huaiyin studied and used back then, but it was lost after his death, and no one could use it?"

The so-called five army formations are the coordination changes between the phalanx, the circle array, the conical array, the goose marching array, and the hook marching array, and it is difficult for all arrays to turn around without hindrance.

Everyone's position is forward or backward, combined together, without any mistakes and omissions can be used in actual combat, in the change of attack and defense as a whole, so that the opponent can not deal with it, the power is not great.

After Han Xin, many soldiers in this dynasty were studying this kind of military formation.

Because it can be attacked and defended, it has endless changes and amazing actual combat effects.

However, no general dared to use it in actual combat, because such a complex military formation could not be overcome if it was to be used in actual combat without fear of the opponent's impact and interference.

So far, no one understands why Han Xin was able to do it, using the Five Armies Beast Hunting Array in actual combat, changing in every way, and the battle array is not chaotic.

"He's not just a five-army formation, it's really improved."

Dong Zhongshu has always been eclectic and eclectic.

Because of the production of the soldiers' mansions, he had a lot of research on the strategies and practices of the soldiers, and said at the moment: "The five-army formation displayed by the champion Hou looks to be faster, pursuing the speed of change, and giving up a little offensive and defensive power.

and the military formation of the Marquis of Huaiyin, each with its own strengths. And he used cavalry to show it, and it was even more difficult. ”

It's really improved, it's easier and faster.

At this time, the military formation was still changing, and the coquettish position was moved.

Even Emperor Wu didn't expect Huo Qubing to be able to take over the guards in such a short time, and the way of training the general's formation was so vividly presented.

He was an emperor who knew military affairs, and he saw the key points, so his eyes were shining, and he stared at the battle array on the field for a moment.

In fact, it is not uncommon for Huo Qubing to improve the military formation.

He used Han Xin's unique method, that is, the method of dividing the yin body and combining it with the resurrection of the soul.

This technique can not only resurrect the soul through the corpse, but also affect the soul of ordinary people.

Huo Quai's illness on the soldiers in many key positions, with the technique of resurrecting the soul from the corpse, dividing the divine thoughts, and merging with them, he can directly convey orders to these soldiers through consciousness.

This is the most correct way to use the corpse to resurrect the soul, which fundamentally solves the problem of unsmooth communication on the battlefield, and truly makes the team advance and retreat consistently.

Han Xin was invincible and was known as a soldier immortal. This unique way of communication and the ability to dispatch troops must also be one of the factors.

Now it's Huo Qu's turn.

He dialed the supernatural power in his consciousness, and the thousands of soldiers on the entire school field were like chess pieces.

Several military units connected to him with divine thoughts immediately led the ranks to intersperse changes, making the military array show neat and orderly changes and power.

The subtlety of the process stunned several generals who knew about military affairs.

This kind of military formation training, such as the method of commanding the fingers, is exactly the realm that all soldiers dream of.

This kind of training and improvement may be more important than actually making military achievements, because it is the combat level of the entire Han army that is being improved.

"No matter how good the military training is, it may not be used on the battlefield."

I don't know who suddenly spoke out to talk about it, and did not comment on the quality of the military formation, but pointed out the impracticality of the drill from another angle.

Huo Quzhi glanced at the Hou Chen Chan who was a little far away.

At this moment, in the queue of spectators, someone got up from his position: "Huns! ”

There is another team outside the school grounds, it is the Huns!

Where did the Huns come from in Chang'an?

"Is it a prisoner, a Hun surrenderer captured in the past battle?"

Wei Qing dealt with the Xiongnu and always had the means to use the Huns to control the Huns, so the Han people captured the prisoners and not all of them were killed.

Historically, whether it was Wei Qing or Huo Quai, there were many Xiongnu troops who surrendered to them and turned around and were used by them to attack the Xiongnu.

Some Xiongnu captives who would rather die than surrender would be driven to participate in heavy labor, working desperately, building cities, digging ditches and dams, and so on.

Chang'an, Xianyang around the dam is used for dam repair.

"I originally planned to ask these captives to train the army, but the recruits don't see blood and can't go to the battlefield, so they are just used to drill the battle formation for Your Majesty to see."

Huo Quzhi explained: "I have sent an order to give weapons to the captives to fight against our army. If they can win, they will be killed, and if they are defeated, they will die on the spot, and they will fight to the death in order to survive, and this can be used to test the military formation, which can confirm the power of the battle.

The opponent took more than 1,500 prisoners, and our army also used the same number to fight them to see who won and who lost! ”

On the field, with the appearance of the Huns, the killing machine was overflowing in an instant, and the fighting spirit was agitated.

Many ministers of civil and military affairs, and those who came to watch the military prestige were all in high spirits.

I didn't expect to see actual combat training, involving life and death!

Those Hun soldiers were originally prisoners on death row, and they had a chance to fight, and their faces were full of ferocious expressions, and they all had the idea of killing a few Han soldiers desperately.

Youwenchen's face turned pale: "Champion Hou, you have brought a lot of Huns here, and you are not afraid of colliding with the holy driver?" ”

Huo Quzhi looked at Na Wenchen, when Your Majesty is as weak as you?

And those Han soldiers around the school grounds, everyone holds bows and crossbows, and they eat dry rice?

"Go to war!" Huo Qubing gave the order.

This paragraph should actually be read with reference to the guard of honour review......
