After Hou Junji's idea was proposed, no one answered in the Taiji Hall for a while.

The situation of the Dragoons is indeed somewhat peculiar.

The purpose of their armies is to be able to penetrate deep into enemy countries and fight alone without supplies.

However, at the beginning of the army, Li Jing once said that the strength of the dragoon army was not frontal combat.

But then again, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and who can guarantee that their army will not face a situation where they will fight more with less?

Therefore, although the generals present agreed with Hou Junji's statement, they did not know how to choose the way to fight.

At this moment, Li Jing stood up as the commander of the dragoons.

He said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, although the dragoons are not mainly engaged in frontal combat, the minister is still confident that the dragoons can defeat more than four times as strong an enemy head-on. ”

Li Jing's words surprised all the other generals present.

This is not a joke.

Although many of these generals also have a precedent of leading a small number of troops to defeat a large army of the enemy.

But they all know very well that if they want to defeat more than four times as many enemies on the battlefield head-on, whether it is the right time, the right place or the right people, all of them are indispensable.

A large part of their victories was a fluke.

However, what Li Jing meant was that the Dragoons could defeat four times the enemy in any situation.

Several generals who were good friends with Li Jing thought that his words were a bit exaggerated.

The hot-tempered Wei Chi Jingde was just about to stand up and remind Li Jing when he heard Hou Junji speak again: "Since this is the case, then please ask Your Majesty to arrange a fourfold enemy to compete with the dragoons." ”

Li Shimin also frowned secretly after listening to Li Jing's words.

At present, Hou Junji took the opportunity to put forward a request for battle, which made Li Shimin even more difficult.

At this moment, Li Zhi stood up and said, "Father, the sons agree to let the dragoons fight against four times the enemy. ”

Next, without waiting for everyone to react, Li Zhi continued: "But Erchen thinks that frontal combat is not the strength of the Dragoon after all, so Erchen hopes to be able to compete twice. ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin said "oh" and said, "How will the two competitions be conducted?" ”

Li Zhi said: "There is no need to say much about the head-on battle, the two sides can compete on the school field." ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment and continued: "As for the second game, Erchen thought that the scene should be set up, and the dragoons would attack and defend the opponent. ”

Li Shimin asked: "How to set up the battlefield?" And how long will you have to defend? ”

Li Zhidao: "The selection of the battlefield naturally needs to be completed by the father and the generals, and as for the time of defense, the ministers think that three to four days is appropriate. ”

Li Shimin asked: "Why this conclusion?" ”

Li Zhidao: "The task of the Dragoons is to fight alone, and the dry food they bring is limited after all, so the time for each mission cannot be too long. ”

Li Shimin thought for a moment and nodded.

He asked the other generals, "What do you think of King Jin's proposal?" ”

Hou Junji was very satisfied with Li Zhi's proposal, so he was the first to speak: "The minister has no objection. ”

The others also spoke: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

So the generals began to discuss where to set up the scene for the dragoons to attack.

Originally, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Li Ji and Li Daozong all believed that the defense should be arranged according to the characteristics of the surrounding nomads.

This is closer to the future battlefield situation.

However, Hou Junji and others believed that a more favorable terrain should be chosen for the defenders in order to fully demonstrate the capabilities of the dragoons.

The two sides argued for a long time about this, and finally Li Shimin made the decision to arrange it according to the proposal of Hou Junji and others.

Li Zhi did not express an opinion on this from beginning to end.

He has absolute confidence in the Dragoons, and this confidence comes from his full knowledge of special operations.

The first contest was held three days later, at the camp where the 16th Guard of the Southern Ya was located.

In order to frustrate Li Zhi and Li Jing, Hou Junji selected more than 4,000 of the strongest warriors from the sixteen guards.

He had already made up his mind that he must not let Li Zhi easily intervene in the affairs of the army.

As a person who secretly supports Li Chengqian, he has been closely following Li Zhi's movements recently.

And Li Zhi's outstanding performance has made him clearly realize how much of a threat Li Zhi will pose to Li Chengqian in the future.

Especially after the literati contest a few days ago, he ranked Li Tai's threat to Li Chengqian after Li Zhi.

At this time, the 4,000 people he had carefully selected were already waiting on the playground.

Just waiting for the arrival of Li Shimin and a group of ministers and dragoons.

Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

Hou Junji raised his eyes and soon saw the figure of the dragoon coming from a distance.

At the head was none other than Li Jing, the temporary commander of the Dragoons, and behind him were Su Lie and his deputy.

There was no confusion in the whole procession, and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground was even more continuous, like a sound.

As the team got closer and closer, a murderous aura rushed towards Hou Junji, making him unconsciously squint his eyes.

This momentum made the more than 4,000 people standing behind him feel oppressed.

So they also unconsciously raised their momentum.

The two sides have already started a silent contest when they start a war, and both want to crush each other's morale to the bottom before the war begins.

After Li Jing came to the school grounds, he raised his hand and waved his hand, and saw all the soldiers of the Dragoon Army drop their horses almost at the same time.

The whole process is still not chaotic at all.

Hou Junji greeted Li Jing with mixed feelings.

At this moment, even if he was unwilling, he had to express his admiration for the Dragoons from the bottom of his heart.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a long time, Li Shimin's drive finally arrived, and the teams of both sides began to approach the high platform in the center of the school field.

When Li Shimin came to the high platform with a group of ministers, he immediately looked at the dragoons below.

This was the first time he had seen a dragoon, and the momentum shown by the dragoons did make him very satisfied.

Li Jing and Hou Junji also came to the high platform at this moment.

Li Jing saluted Li Shimin and said, "The dragoon soldiers are ready to be inspected by Your Majesty." ”

Hou Junji also said on the side: "Please Your Majesty to test." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since both sides are ready, let's start fighting." ”

After hearing Li Shimin's order, Hou Junji waved his hand into the distance.

I saw the members of the brigade carrying wooden knives and guns for training, arrows tied to cloth bags, and several baskets of white ash to the center of the school field.

The soldiers on both sides then received their weapons and covered them with white ash.

This is a necessary procedure during training, so that the outcome of the warring parties can be accurately determined.

When everything is ready, the two sides will each step on their horses and face each other.

A wonderful battle will start just after Li Shimin's order.
