Chapter 260 Demonstration in front of the Hall of Virtues

Luo Yan talked about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the Tai Chi Hall for half a month.From time to time, when it got dark, these civil and military ministers were still not satisfied and dragged Luo Yan to talk a few more times.

When Luo Yan finished speaking for the last time, it was already the beginning of September.Looking at the yellow leaves flying outside the hall, Li Shimin sighed and said: "As the saying goes, you can know the ups and downs by reading history, but how much blood, tears and tribulations are involved in the ups and downs. Come on, although I know that what you say is true or false, but every time I compare it with "Three Kingdoms", I am more willing to listen to what you say."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Luo Yan said lightly, and didn't say any more.

On the other hand, the civil and military ministers under the seat either stared at Luo Yan in thought, or lowered their heads and frowned and muttered to themselves, and so on.

But so far, no one has been able to mention himself when talking about dispatching troops.Luo Yan felt that his method of using "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to show his strategy was useless. If he wanted to impress Li Shimin and allow him to go out with the army, he still needed to find another way.

Luo Yan was looking forward to such an opportunity.But God seemed to have heard Luo Yan's prayer, and such an opportunity came soon.

Since the beginning of the Weishui alliance, Li Shimin has mobilized elites to perform martial arts in front of the Xiande Hall.After several years of continuous expansion, a team with considerable combat effectiveness has been formed.From time to time, Li Shimin would go to Xiande Hall to teach riding and archery. Although he was dissuaded by many courtiers and even Li Shimin's confidants, he still went his own way.

On this day, Li Shimin, who had nothing to do, brought his courtiers to the front of Xiande Hall again.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while.Li Shimin's army absolutely fits this sentence.A lot of money was invested in it, and a lot of energy was spent.Now that the Turkic war is about to start, if Li Shimin doesn't come to check the results, how can he be worthy of his efforts in the past three years.

Don't say that inspecting the army is a modern patent.In fact, Datang already has the saying of performing martial arts in the school field.

When Li Shimin took Luo Yan and the others up the steps of Xiande Hall, thousands of elite soldiers had already lined up under the command of the school lieutenant.It did not strictly follow the general army organization, but was divided into nine square formations, arranged in the style of nine palaces.

Dressed in military uniforms, the soldiers in the first three phalanxes hold a huge half-man-high shield in their left hand and a horizontal knife in their right hand.The shield was far away, and Luo Yan didn't see its material clearly, but the head of a tiger swallowing clouds was painted on it, which was truly majestic.As for the horizontal knives in his hands, the tips of the knives are pointing up at this moment, as a sign of etiquette.But the light reflected from the sun pierced their eyes like steel needles.Behind Luo Yan, a few people who are rarely seen in the ranks, narrowed their eyes slightly.

In the middle row are archers with waist and hip longbows and arrows on their backs.

Although none of them had drawn their bows or arrows, their eyes were locked on Li Shimin.It was the sharp eyes of these people that made Li Shimin's personal guards lean closer to each other in front of Li Shimin.They are not as confident as Li Shimin, thinking that these people will not have any ill will towards Li Shimin.

Each has its own department, and what the personal guards do is to use their bodies to block weapons. At this time, there must be no ambiguity.

As for the last three phalanxes, they are the most majestic.

It is estimated that the last [-] people are all elite small schools selected by the guards.Their clothes are obviously different from the soldiers in the six phalanxes in front. They are all dressed in iron armor, and they are all treated like seventh-rank school captains.They held long spears neatly, and the cold light from the tip of the spears gathered into one piece, and it seemed that there was a murderous aura circulating among them.

The captain's order in the audience was just a loud shout, which was deafening.It seemed that the entire Taiji Palace trembled twice.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the appearance in front of him.But this is just the beginning.The captain yelled "change formation", and the nine formations were only a few blinks away, and one of them had already fallen.Standing in front of Li Shimin at this moment are those schoolmen with guns.

Shout again "The army turns back, the rear army becomes the front army, ready to attack", everyone turned their bodies backward in an instant, the small gun-wielding officer and the archer squatted halfway, and the sword and shield hand at the front leaned on the large shield.At this time, the hundreds of grass people erected behind the army formation appeared.At the same time, the archers in the middle began to draw their bows and arrows rapidly.

Just hearing the sound of "shoot", the archers in the front row quickly got up and shot the arrows at the straw men.The arrow shot so fast that after almost fifty steps, Luo Yan could still hear the "swish" sound produced by the friction with the air.

Before Luo Yan could turn around, there was another "shoot again".The archers in the first row squat down, and the archers in the second row get up and shoot.After going through nine shots in this way, the archer phalanx only finished one round.And the straw figures in front are already covered with arrows.

"Enter".Another word, the three arms moved forward together, and the archers retreated behind the small gunmen as they walked.When he got close to the straw man, he squatted down with the sword and shield hand, and saw the spear stabbing out from the gap in the shield.After one round passed, they saw that the straw man in the front row had been completely stabbed by the spear.

Although it was only demonstrated on the straw man, Luo Yan also saw clearly that the fighting power of these soldiers was absolutely extraordinary.

Li Shimin clapped his hands and applauded loudly, and turned his head to Luo Yan and said, "Jinzhi, look at this, these soldiers are somewhat sure about the Turks."

Curling his lips, Luo Yan was speechless.With the fighting power of these people, if they encounter the same number of Turkic cavalry, they will definitely seek death.But on the frontal battlefield, when the battle situation is stalemate, if such an army emerges from one's own side, then the confidence of victory will be greatly increased.After all, what the Turkic people can rely on is their bows and fast horses to really engage in a confrontation. In fact, Datang is not too far behind.

Naturally, Luo Yan didn't dare to tell Li Shimin what was in his heart.

Seeing Luo Yan's silence for a while, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

The next step is to demonstrate the single-man bow horse.This is a point that Li Shimin attaches great importance to. Li Shimin also knows the strengths of the Turks, so this is also the original intention of this army.

Sure enough, there are capable people among those archers.On the fixed target, Luo Yan saw at most one out of ten hits, and three hits straight to the heart.Although the riding and shooting part is worse than this, the one with the least ten martial arts performers is also four out of ten.In this era, such a hit rate is already very good.

Slightly proud.After all, this team was cultivated by him under the pressure of everyone. With such achievements, how could Li Shimin be unhappy.

Under this happiness, something will happen.

As an emperor on horseback, Li Shimin always liked to show off his force to his courtiers.Of course, this was all done without the presence of Yu Chigong's group of generals.He is very clear about how many catties he has.He resolutely refrained from doing things that are out of class, and this has also become an important factor for Li Shimin to win over ministers.

But now that he is in a good mood, Yu Chigong and those generals are also absent.All the conditions for pretending to be aggressive have been met, how could Li Shimin let go of such a great opportunity.

"Bring the bow and arrow." Li Shimin shouted, and someone brought his bow and arrow over when he was young.

Turning on the horse, taking the arrow and drawing the bow, after a series of skillful movements, the horse was about to pass the first target.I saw the arrow flying out, and Li Shimin had already controlled the second arrow on the string, and when it passed the second target, he let go again.In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin had already steered his horse past the last target.

He got off his horse and threw the bow and arrow to the guards who came to greet him. Li Shimin walked up the steps and waited for the soldiers to report the result.

"All ten hits, and three hit the bull's-eye. Your Majesty Tianwei."

Amidst the congratulations of the soldiers, Li Shimin smiled and said to Luo Yan: "Jinzhi, how is it? Didn't you say that you would go out with the army a few days ago? If you can do better than me today, I will answer." I allow you to go." Li Shimin knew that Luo Yan was very good at horizontal swords, but he had never seen Luo Yan touch a bow and horse.Just remembering that Luo Yan clamored to fight the Turks a while ago, he wanted to use this to completely break Luo Yan's thoughts.

"Your Majesty's words are serious?" Luo Yan was pleasantly surprised.

"You can ask the housekeeper, when will my words not count."

Nodding his head, Luo Yan said: "If that's the case, then forgive me for the crime of disrespect." Doing better than the emperor is not a good thing.I also met Li Shimin. If I met Yang Guang, don't look at him smiling now, as long as I do better than him, it will definitely be a deadly rhythm.

Luo Yan doesn't know how to bow a horse right now.But don't forget, Luo Yan has a weapon for cheating.

Others only thought that he was trying to stabilize his mind, but Luo Yan closed his eyes at this moment, but he was seeking help from the system.

Searching for things that can be exchanged in the system, Luo Yan finally found two skills, one is "skillful bow and horse" and the other is "no mistakes".Needless to say, he is proficient in bow and horse, this example is definitely not a flying knife stunt.The so-called flawless shooting, in Luo Yan's view, arrows are a god-defying skill.As long as the arrows reach and stare at, the arrows can be shot there.

However, the price is really a bit expensive.Bow and horse proficiency only has 100 million prestige, and this example requires 1000 million.With blood dripping from his heart to exchange for two skills, Luo Yan instantly felt that he was short of a hard bow.

Bows are naturally divided into big and small according to manpower.The moment Luo Yan opened his eyes, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Give me a three-stone bow." The request is not surprising. The three-stone bow is the bow and arrow used by those soldiers just now, and the maximum range is about 150 steps. The target a hundred steps away is just right.

After receiving the hard bow from the soldiers, he turned on the docile army horse, shook the reins, and pulled out three arrows from the quiver with his right hand.When the horse has passed the first target, turn around slightly, shoot the first arrow, then turn around slightly, shoot the second arrow, turn around again, and shoot the third arrow.

Li Shimin and a group of soldiers opened their mouths a long time ago in surprise.But the voices of "Duoduo" were heard from the target one after another.As soon as the voice fell, Luo Yan also just dismounted.

Behind him, the trembling voice of the soldiers sounded: "Ten rounds hit all, and six hit the bull's-eye."

The voice fell behind, and there was no more sound.
