Apprentice
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold wind swept wisps of wind and snow from the sky, but it could not extinguish the fire in the castle tower.
The generals quarreled again.
At this time, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the southern city, as well as the neighing of war horses falling.
Li Maozhen is finally here.
Zhang Xingjin was overjoyed, "Brothers, the reinforcements are here, and Hezhou City is ours." “
The cavalry arrived first, and after a short time, the foot soldiers behind also came carrying long ladders.
The army of the various tribes of the black pressure climbed the city wall excitedly, and in less than half an hour, three thousand people gathered on the south wall and began to attack the other city walls.
Tuwuqin under the city finally realized that something was wrong, and before he could move, the other generals dispersed in a hurry.
The south gate was opened without resistance.
Li Maozhen was dressed in bright light armor, holding a long hand, riding a high-headed horse and slowly entering, as if the former king had returned to his territory again, surrounded by the elite of the headquarters with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his eyes were as sharp as cold stars.
With such momentum, Tu Wuqin's legs trembled, and with a "poof", Li Chenggui knelt in front of him first, "Welcome Tang Shuai into the city!" “
Tuwuqin also knelt in the snow.
The general trend has gone, and it is not ashamed to see the wind making the rudder in Helong.
But at this moment, a flying arrow broke through the air and accurately hit Lee Seung-gyu's face.
Lee Seung-gyu died on the spot and fell to the ground.
Li Maozhen's gaze slanted to the place where the arrow came from on the city wall, Zhang Xingjin hurriedly ran down from under the city wall and bowed in front of Li Maozhen's horse, "This person has a bad stomach and hurts my brother, and the last general can't hold back for a while, and my father forgives my sins!" “
Li Maozhen just doesn't forgive his sins, and he won't embarrass Zhang Xingjin, a hero, at this time, so he dismounted and helped him up, "You and I are father and son, how can my father blame you, kill him." “
When she was in Fengxiang, Li Maozhen was good at interpreting the affection of father and son, and she was extremely skillful, and in front of Zhang Xingjin, she was also like a smooth stream, which made Zhang Xingjin feel a trace of waves in her heart.
He picked up Tu Wuqin again, and said some words to calm him.
However, Tu Wuqin was not arrogant at all just now, his whole body trembled, and he didn't know if it was cold or other reasons, so he stayed away from Zhang Xingjin intentionally or unintentionally.
Since Li Maozhen entered the city, Hezhou City has lost the power to resist.
Everywhere there was slaughter, fire, men's laughter, women's screams, children's cries, and even cattle and sheep.....
The entire city of Hezhou boiled in the wind and snow.
This may also be one of the rules of Helong, these people can't fight, but destruction is definitely an expert, wanton venting animal nature, and the ruined Hezhou City is even more chaotic.
The weak can only be the spoils of the strong.
"Father, Hezhou is an important town in Hehuang, and it will also be the foundation of our army in the future, and it cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop." Zhang Xingjin finally couldn't help but admonish.
Li Maozhen smiled bitterly: "My son only knows one and doesn't know the other, these people who surrendered are originally foreign savages, and they don't know the king, if they want to gather them, they can only drive them to profit, if they are forbidden to loot, will they still follow their father?" “
What's the difference between this and the Yellow Nest? Zhang Xingjin's heart sank, and he began to regret helping Li Maozhen capture Hezhou, and was about to persuade again, when he suddenly heard a noise in the city.
Occasionally, the sound of swords and soldiers came.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xingjin scolded angrily.
A person on the city wall sneered: "There is a traitor in Hezhou who wants to assassinate his father, and he will be solved." “
As he spoke, a human head was thrown off the city wall, and the bones rolled in front of Zhang Xingjin, it was actually Tuoba Hui's!
His eyes widened, as if he didn't believe it was true.
Li Jiyan carried a bloody horizontal knife and slowly walked down the stairs under the leadership of a group of personal soldiers, "What, the second brother wants to harbor the assassin?" “
After Li Maozhen jumped into Helong, as the only righteous son, Li Jiyan was naturally promoted to a general, and his "second brother" shouted cordially, but Zhang Xingjin heard the provocation.
"You ....." Zhang Xingjin has the heart to kill.
His impression of Tuoba Hui is not bad, at least the two of them can barely be regarded as "comrades-in-arms", and this person obviously has a heart for the Tang Dynasty, if he is alive, he will not be a big help to him in the future, but he died here in vain.
"You two brothers are so harmonious, I am deeply pleased for my father, the northwest is a big world, our father and son are of the same heart, why worry about not creating a foundation?" Li Maozhen turned a blind eye to the dispute between the two and said proudly.
Although Chang'an is freezing cold, it is also a good season for military training.
All the ministries stationed near Chang'an City were mobilized, and even the auxiliary army and the people were not spared.
Since Li Ye pushed from Langfang to Shuofang, the people along the way have also been stained with a lot of oil and water, and their enthusiasm for training is unprecedentedly high.
Many people are still looking forward to joining the army one day, at least it would be good to mix in the auxiliary army.
His Majesty the Emperor is kind-hearted, and all the disabled soldiers have a pension, and the fallen are included in the Tang Loyal Soul Monument, which is the supreme glory.
At the same time, the Praetorian Guard and the Tiance Army competed with each other.
Competition is the eternal theme of human beings, Li Ye simply came to a big competition, with the capital as a unit, using wooden spears, wooden knives and arrows, and carried out a vigorous group beating activity outside Chang'an City, which was unprecedented.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers, Li Ye also took out three long sculptures from the royal collection, five treasure carving bows, six sets of Mingguang armor, and seven gorgeously shaped horizontal knives, and of course, two meteorite horizontal knives captured in the hall.
That's pretty much all of Lee's belongings.
It was rusty to keep it, so Li Ye simply took it out and rewarded the soldiers.
As soon as these rewards came out, the auxiliary army couldn't sit still, and petitioned Li Ye to join.
Of course, Li Ye did not refuse to come.
In the turbulent times at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were talents everywhere, and the key was whether there was a means to tap talents and a mechanism for cultivating talents.
Li Ye sat on the tower of Jinguang Gate, waiting for the first warrior to enter the city.
Watching nearly 70,000 people in the city beating each other, Li Ye felt that he didn't feel like an emperor, but a gang leader.
"Your Majesty, the last general asks to go to war." Looking at the "fierce battle" under the city, Xin Shilang was itching.
In the past year and a half, Li Ye has seen Xin Shilang puff up like a balloon, and a pair of fists are the size of a sea bowl.
"No, you stay honest." Gao Xingzhou, Zhou Yunyi, Tuoba Yungui, Xue Guangheng, Li Xiaoqi, Li Sizhou and other generals are all watching the battle on the city wall, what is the matter if he goes down.
Yang Shihou and Wei Wulang were stationed in Hancheng and did not arrive.
Li Yun defended Tongguan, and he couldn't come.
"If General Xin is interested, you and I might as well try to compete." Gao Xingzhou is also itchy.
Li Hao did not refuse this proposal.
Gao Xingzhou took a spear, but Xin Shiro directly held a large wooden stake.
Li Ye was taken aback, "Are you competing or playing with your life?" “
"It's okay, General Xin can take advantage of it." Gao Xingzhou didn't care.
The two fought on the city wall.
The two had a fight a year ago, when Xin Shilang was still a dumbfounder, and Gao Xingzhou was also a fledgling young player.
A year later, after the baptism of brutal war, both of them have made great progress.
Xin Shilang's strength is greater, the length of the wooden stake is estimated to be seventy or eighty pounds, and it is as easy as a bamboo pole in his hand, every time he swings it, the wind is whistling, the sound is terrifying, and it smashes on the pheasant moat, and the stone chips are flying.
And Gao Xingzhou's marksmanship is even faster, like a long snake constantly writhing in his hand.
One person is like a stupid bear, the other is like a spirit monkey, you come and go, Li Ye is dazzled.
The crowd around them will hold their breath and watch as if they were fascinated.
After about a stick of incense, Xin Shiro was defeated in the end.
The armor on his body is full of traces of whipping, if it was a real battlefield, Xin Shilang would have died a long time ago, but Xin Shilang's method is also the existence of a humanoid tank in thousands of troops.
The walls were in shambles, and the stones were full of holes and bullet holes.
"Concession, concession!" Gao Xingzhou clenched his fists and arched his hands, a sect of grandmasters.
"Enjoyable!" Shinshiro was sweating profusely.
Li Ye's heart moved, and he said: "General Gao, I heard that your Hebei Gao family has two stunts, the same high-level gun and the same four-season boxing, I intend to let you be the head of the Tang Army and teach boxing and marksmanship?" “
Gao Xingzhou's face was embarrassed, "This ....."
The view of the gateway has existed since ancient times, and how much traditional culture has disappeared in such narrow thinking.
Li Ye was cheeky and struck while the iron was hot, "You still don't kneel down to apprentice?" “
Zhou Yunyi, Tuoba Yungui, Xue Guangheng, Li Xiaoqi, Li Sizhou and other generals had to kneel down towards Gao Xingzhou and said respectfully: "Meet Master." “
Although Xin Shilang was defeated, he was not convinced, and arched his hand and said, "Meet Master Gao." “
Li Ye glanced at him.
The raw rice was cooked and cooked, and Gao Xingzhou could only help a few people up one by one, "Master doesn't dare to be it, Gao's gun Four Seasons Fist needs to be practiced from a young age in order to achieve a small success." “
"It's okay, the master leads the door, learning art depends on the individual, you only discipline, what you can learn is their own creation." In later novels, Gao Xingzhou's father, Gao Siji, is known as the first gun in the Five Dynasties, even if he meets Li Cunxiao, he can also live two tricks.
Li Ye didn't expect to train them all into fierce generals, he just hoped that they could have a basic self-defense kung fu, after all, the Four Seasons Fist can be passed on to future generations, and it must have its uniqueness.
The emperor said so, and Gao Xingzhou could only agree.
There was a big scuffle under the city, from morning to afternoon, and countless men in Guanzhong moved forward bravely, hoping to come out on top.
Some people will not withdraw from the battlefield when their heads are broken and bleeding, but such a scuffle will definitely not work with martial arts alone.
Although it is said that it is based on the capital, the various armies obviously have group behavior, all the departments of the Tiance Army are united, and the Praetorian Guard is also united, and the two sides also shamelessly make an array, tacitly treating the auxiliary army as an appetizer.
The 13th Battalion of the Auxiliary Army became the only remaining contingent of the Auxiliary Army.
As soon as the other dozen battalions came on the field, they were squeezed out by the Praetorian Guard and the Tiance Army.
Because the 13th Battalion had just been formed, it knew that it would not be cheap, and it was dormant on the periphery, so it survived until now.
After squeezing out the auxiliary army, the Praetorian Guard and the Tiance Army officially broke up, and you came and went, and your head was bleeding.
Although the weapons are all wooden, it is not so pleasant to hit a person, even if he is wearing armor.
"Go to the ball, what do you think we should do?" Sima Zhao of the 13th Battalion.
Du Yanqiu glanced at Zhao Kuo, depressed in his heart, he was the commander of all the halls, and he was deeply respected by King Liang, and when he came to this guy's mouth, he became a "ball".
Of course, this is also the rule of the Thirteenth Battalion, having a nickname is not a shame, but an honor, and ordinary people are not qualified for this.
Zhao Kuoyuan was a chief of the pro-guard army, and in the battle of Tongguan, he had to retreat from the soldiers because he broke three fingers, and became an auxiliary army Sima in terms of military merits.
Although Zhao Kuo was not polite, he actually took great care of Du Yanqiu, and treated him as a brother, Du Yanqiu escaped several times, and after being caught by the secret whistle, Zhao Kuo didn't punish him much, just patted him on the shoulder, and got a bag of wine for him out of nowhere.
It was these wines that made Du Yanqiu's heart for death slowly fade.
After a long time, Du Yanqiu's mentality slowly changed, and he no longer wanted to die, nor did he want to escape.
"The two armies have fought until now, and it's almost over, the credit for going to the city can't be grabbed, and the credit for capturing the generals can still be grabbed, and when the sky is dark, it's our chance, just fishing in troubled waters, blending into the two armies, and only catching their heads."
Zhao Kuo slapped Du Yanqiu on the shoulder, "Okay, you kid has a bright future, it's a waste to stay in the auxiliary army, this time I have a good performance, I recommend you to the top!" ”
