The second wind rises in Chang'an Chapter 87 Honor guard
The chariots, the horses, and the bows and arrows of the soldiers are all at their waists.
Banners are displayed, hunting with the wind, swords, guns, swords, halberds, the scorching sun is shining, and you can't see Xiaguan Bridge when you look back!
As the most powerful princess in the Tang Dynasty, when she was about to enter the realm of Chang'an, she changed into the princess's costume and prepared the honor guard of Princess Pingyang.
And Lu Chen can finally see the honor guard of Princess Pingyang with his own eyes, and he has seen this kind of princess's travel honor guard in books or TV before, but after really seeing Princess Pingyang's honor guard, Lu Chen feels that the imitation of later generations is a "condensed version".
However, speaking of which, it is estimated that the honor guard of Pingyang princess Li Xiuning should not be considered a normal princess honor guard, after all, Li Xiuning is returning to Beijing by order this time, and he received a holy decree a few days ago. But in the end, they still couldn't compete with Li Yuan, not to mention that it was just a guard of honor.
The pomp and circumstance of the Son of Heaven's honor guard is big, the front is the "guide", four carriages open the way, and it should normally be eight carriages, but Li Xiuning is only a princess in the end, so naturally he can't really be like the emperor, although it is given the "Son of Heaven's Honor Guard", but when it comes to Li Xiuning, it is naturally necessary to cut it down, but this alone is enough scenery, and all the horses pulling the carriage are carefully selected strong horses.
The carriage was followed by two teams of cavalry and six teams of infantry composed of the "Qingdao team", as the name suggests, to clear the road, so that Li Xiuning behind could travel smoothly.
With the back of the Qingdao team, there are eight strong foot soldiers holding eight colored flags, four flying phoenix flags and four Qingluan flags, the normal emperor is twelve dragon flags, and then there are special convoys, of course, these convoys are also symbolic, such as guide cars, Jili drum cars, egret cars, Luan flag cars, evil car, Pixuan cars, etc., these vehicles are also pulled by four horses, eight drivers, and one craftsman.
After the guide is the guard of honor, the guide is different from the guide, the leader of the guard of honor is directly eight rows of hands holding horizontal knives, bows and arrows, the guards composed of cavalry arranged separately, the guard is followed by a drum band, the musical instruments of the band are mainly various drums, mainly drums, big drums, cymbal drums, festival drums, small drums, feather drums, etc., as well as wind instruments flute, flute, flute (also known as Hu Ji, a wind instrument of the northern people), long and middle sound (are trumpets), big horizontal blowing (horizontal flute), The orchestra consists of more than 300 people, such as wind instruments and percussion instruments such as gold cymbals.
At this time, the whole band was only more than ten miles away from Chang'an Chongxuanmen, and with the swing of the Lingqi, they began to play music directly, and the music they played was the "War Drums" taught by Lu Chen in the past few days, but Lu Chen only took the first two words, which was called "War Drums".
With the rapid drum beat, the feeling of killing and Jin Ge Iron Horse immediately appeared, because Li Xiuning didn't like those somewhat weak tunes, Lu Chen couldn't help it, so he found a score of "War Drums" in the base, fortunately, Lu Chen had a musical cultivation before, and it didn't take much effort to transform it.
With the sound of "War Drums", the demeanor of the entire honor guard suddenly increased by three percent, and the sound of music spread out, and a solemn atmosphere directly resounded in the sky.
I know, this is Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning is still in court, and those who don't know think that someone is going to come directly to Chang'an City.
"The song of the military advisor is so well written, it makes me enthusiastic now, and I want to go directly to the battlefield to kill a round!" Fang Qi, who was sitting on the horse and riding side by side with Su Dingfang, said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense! Pay attention to the queue! Su Dingfang told Fang Qi.
Although they belong to the rearguard force, they are the leader of the rearguard force, after all, the more than 50 people who carry the guard belong to the cavalry, and everyone has horses, so they belong to the cavalry team of the platoon sequence.
Behind the band is followed by a flag array composed of flags, buildings and banners, behind the flag array are two teams of flying phoenix flags and Qingluan flags, and the emperor is on patrol with the green dragon flag and the white tiger flag, these two teams are also cavalry teams composed of weapons, guarding the left and right.
After the guide and the guide are the princess Li Xiuning's Luan driving, a magnificent chariot pulled by four horses, Li Xiuning sat on the chariot, wearing a seven-hairpin phoenix crown, wearing a light yellow court dress, gold silk embroidered phoenix, Li Xiuning is more and more graceful and luxurious, the court dress is covered with a white fox cloak, after all, it is winter, if you don't keep warm, it is estimated that according to the speed of this honor guard, and when you enter the city, Li Xiuning will freeze hard, although there is also a charcoal basin on the Luan car, but it can't stand this thing leaking!
There would have been a band after Luan's driving, but it was canceled by Li Xiuning, someone in front of him could blow it, and it was blown in the back, Li Xiuning couldn't stand it, so he directly canceled the rear propaganda team, and it was directly the guard team, and the leader of the guard team was Lu Chen's back guard.
Beiweiwei is now considered an alternative in the guards, and it is said that it is under the command of Li Xiuning, but the person directly under him is Lu Chen, and Li Xiuning handed over the task of the close escort who returned to Beijing to Beiweiwei.
Behind the back guards, there were Li Xiuning's 3,000 guards, divided into cavalry and infantry, all of which carried banners painted with legendary gods and monsters, such as evil spirits, jade horses, yellow dragons, unicorns, dragon horses, triangular beasts, Xuanwu, golden bulls, and so on.
Lu Chen rode on the white fox, couldn't help but look around curiously, seeing Lu Chen's curious look, Li Xiuning, who was sitting in Luan, couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, because Li Xiuning rarely saw Lu Chen's appearance of "never seeing the world".
Lu Chen naturally saw Li Xiuning's snickering appearance, and rode to Li Xiuning's side, "Your Highness, are you cold?" Lu Chen was wrapped like a bear, looking at Li Xiuning and smiling.
"What do you say!?" Li Xiuning directly gave Lu Chen a roll of the eyes, although Luan was equipped with a charcoal basin, but she was not wearing a thick one, and there was no cotton jacket at this time, she relied on the fox fur on her body to keep warm, and she was inactive, could she not be cold?
"This is to have a demeanor without temperature, and if you are beautiful, you will freeze people!" Lu Chen smiled.
"You!" At this time, Li Xiuning must maintain the princess's reserved style, since Lu Chen laughed at her female celebrity that day, this guy has been a little worse recently, isn't it just teasing the princess twice, Li Xiuning can only glare at Lu Chen angrily.
"Strategist, it's almost time to reach Chongxuanmen in front!" Just when Lu Chen was still teasing Li Xiuning, Lu Qiuming reminded Lu Chen.
"Oh!" Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked ahead, and the majestic city wall was already shadowy enough to see the outline, "Your Highness, go on!" It's okay to hold it in your hand and hold it in your arms, it's very warm! Lu Chen didn't talk nonsense, he took out a round thing from his arms and threw it to Li Xiuning.
As soon as Li Xiuning saw Lu Chen throwing something to himself, he hurriedly caught it, held it in his hand and looked at it, this thing seemed to Li Xiuning to be very exquisitely made, the brass shell was carved with patterns, Li Xiuning held it in his hand for a while, and then he warmed up.
Li Xiuning has not seen a hand stove, but the hand stove in this era is relatively large, in fact, the charcoal pot on her Luan is also a kind of hand stove, it can be seen how big the hand stove is in this era, the size is about the same size as the charcoal basin, and the hand stove that Lu Chen threw to himself is only the size of a fist, and the temperature is much higher than the charcoal basin.
"He said he could carry it in his arms?" Li Xiuning suddenly remembered what Lu Chen reminded her, so she tried to put this flat-shaped hand stove in her arms, and suddenly the warm current flowed directly through her body, and her whole body was full of warm feelings.
And Li Xiuning finally knew why Lu Chen was still wearing his regular clothes in this weather, but this regular clothes were bulging, and this guy actually carried such a good thing in his arms!
"Aye, the third sister is still about three miles away from the city gate!" Just when Li Xiuning was sitting on the Luan car and feeling the warmth of the hand stove, Li Shimin, who was standing next to Li Yuan at the head of Chongxuanmen City, said to Li Yuan with some excitement.
"Hmm!" Li Yuan heard Li Shimin's words, nodded, calculate, he hadn't seen his third daughter for at least three years, Li Yuan squinted and looked ahead, at this time Li Yuan was nearly sixty years old, and his eyes were not as good as before, to put it bluntly, he was already a little presbyopia.
"Is this a new piece composed by the Great Music Department?" At this distance, Li Yuan and the others could naturally hear the "War Drums" played by the drum band clearly, and the music directly caused Li Yuan, Li Shimin, father and son to be a little enthusiastic, not to mention these other generals, they all felt that this song was very suitable for boosting morale on the battlefield.
"Back to Your Majesty, I haven't heard of any new tunes from the Great Music Department recently!" It was Wei Chigong, who was too Changqing, who was the Tai Changqing at this time, who replied to Li Yuan, "In addition, there is no new song reported by the Advocacy Department!" ”
"Oh!" Hearing Wei Chigong's answer, Li Yuan responded lightly, "I'm afraid this song was made by Xiuning, right?" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.
"I don't think the third sister has this ability!" Li Shimin replied very seriously, "If you want to talk about marching and fighting, I'm afraid that our Datang can beat the third sister not much, but when it comes to this chant and singing, knitting female red, the third sister is afraid..." How can she be all those quiet and lively materials!
