Crown Tang emperor

Therefore, after taking the stage, Li Tong watched the formation of the armies, then nodded slightly to Liu Youqiu who was standing not far from his side.

After Liu Youqiu saw this, he took a step forward and shouted to the generals in charge of the army gathered in front of the stage: "Although the world is safe, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger! Therefore, our country of Huaxia will not abolish martial arts. Since Tang Xing, martial arts have prospered. There is no distinction between Chinese and barbarians in the world! Three seasons of farming, one time of martial arts. Today, His Majesty the Emperor holds a talisman to proclaim his order to inherit the reunification of Zhongxing. There have been three turns in the age. The ancient rituals are followed, and the foundation of the country is enjoyed. Tell the country to tell the scholars, Zhao Zai's successor, and lead his ancestral martial arts. The four sides come to congratulate, if you don't, you will be accompanied! Carrying martial arts in the wild, Si Ri pulls up, beats drums, and proclaims power!"

Although the soldiers farther away couldn't hear Liu Youqiu's words, all the generals in front of the stage got off their horses and kowtowed one after another: "Your servants will respectfully receive the oracle, move troops and preach martial arts, and show off your might!"

Following the completion of this reply, the sound of the military drum sounded again, and the generals of the various armies also seized the last bit of time to continue to organize the troops to ensure that the formation was neat and clear.

There was a three-way drum sound, and there was a gap in between. When the sound of the police drum stopped, half an hour had passed, and the sun also jumped from the horizon.

Seeing that the scale of the sundial projected on the platform had shifted to the predetermined position, Liu Youqiu issued another order: "All the envoys will go to the army to watch the battle. If you are punished, you will be rewarded, and if you are chaotic, you will be punished! Rank three, the inferior ones dominate the police, hurry up!"

As soon as this order came out, the generals and officers standing in front of the martial arts stage were both surprised and delighted.Since the sage came to power, the imperial court has imposed strict regulations on granting titles, and it has become very difficult to obtain titles, which cannot be obtained without great merit.Right now, it is definitely a great honor to be awarded the Marquis of the Third Rank County just by observing whether the military formation is strict or not.

But corresponding to this generous reward, is the severe punishment, and those who are inferior in military appearance will be killed!Naturally, everyone is willing to get promoted and get rich, but if you confess your life here in a muddleheaded way, you will really want to cry without tears.

Therefore, the heartstrings of all the generals in front of the stage were tense, and the atmosphere was heavy and chilling for a while.After receiving the order, the inspectors who had already been appointed rode their horses straight into the formation of the army, and silently recorded the military appearance they observed.

The internal and external armies participating in this martial arts exercise include elite veterans who have served in the army for a long time, as well as newly formed Zhuzhou regiments who have only conducted some basic military drills, and many Zhuhu soldiers who have not received military training in the Tang Dynasty at all. The upper limit and lower limit of the chieftain's private songs are extremely high.

In the ancient cold weapon period, whether the array was strict and the military appearance was neat was the most direct reflection of the organization and combat effectiveness of an army.If even the most basic point cannot be achieved, the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people at one time will not only have no power at all, but will be a disaster.

Therefore, the first process of this martial arts performance is to review the military appearance of the array, and the punishment and rewards are so severe.

It took another half an hour for the envoys to inspect the troops and shuttle around the army array that stretched for tens of miles.Too far away, the monarchs and ministers on the stage and the Hu chiefs and guests who watched the ceremony could not see the specific appearance of the army.But the troops of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army not far from the front of the stage are standing upright, not swaying at all.

Seeing this scene, not to mention how the monarchs and ministers felt on the martial stage, the faces of the chiefs and chiefs sitting behind the martial stage couldn't help showing surprise.Not to mention anything else, just this military demeanor that is strictly enforced and prohibited, makes people admire, and even a little bit afraid.

Time passed quietly, and the envoys who reviewed the military array returned one after another, sorting out and reporting all kinds of military appearances they saw during their journey.And Liu Youqiu and other observers got together, sorted out and proofread hundreds of copies of the report, and formed a final result, which was handed over to the saint who had already sat on the imperial bed.

Chapter 0851 is superior to the noble, inferior to the head of the owl

Seeing the sage raising his hand to receive the memorial document recording the results of the inspection, all the generals in front of the stage took a deep breath, and their heartbeats suddenly accelerated.As for the spectators behind the martial arts stage, they couldn't help poking their heads forward at the moment, full of curiosity about the result.

Li Tong sat on the imperial bed and read the results for a while, then raised his hand and took a pen to outline in the scroll, and then handed the scroll back to Liu Youqiu with the envoy.

"Shanzhou Sima Guo Zhiyun, Dianqian Si Neiwei Zhonglang General Li Yang, Yaozhou Governor's Mansion Sima Wang Jun, Xizhou Sima Adi Yanfeng, Xihe Army Envoy An Chenggui, these five members are well-organized and organized , as a first-class meritorious official, each will be given a three-rank noble salary, the imperial edict in the Zhongshu, and the official seal, and the letter will be a letter!"

After Liu Youqiu received the sage's instructions, he read them out in public.Everyone in the audience also held their breath and concentrated, listening carefully to see if they had their names.

Of the five people whose names were called, some were on standby in front of the training platform, while others were still restraining their troops in the camp.All those present were overjoyed when they heard that they had received such an honor and reward. After a moment of astonishment, they hurried forward to thank Grace, and then laughed and danced.As for those who are still in the formation, their own envoys rode horses and galloped to announce the good news and recruited them to the front of the stage. After they arrived, they were all very pleasantly surprised, and then danced and worshiped.

Looking at the dancers under the martial arts stage, Li Tong couldn't help but smile.

Guo Zhiyun and Li Yang needless to say, the former is a famous Kaiyuan general he personally excavated in Longyou, and the latter is a confidant who has devoted himself to the old clothing club early on, and Wan Jun is now giving this honor because of their hard work What they fought for was also to reward them for their past achievements.

As for Wang Jun from the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion, he was also a master in the Kaiyuan period. He not only defeated Tubo, but also served as the governor of Anbei and the governor of Shuofang Road for a long time.

Of course, that will happen in the future. Right now, Wang Jun is still serving in the southern Sichuan area, and he is the marching chief of the Annan Governor's Mansion and the Southern Sichuan Army when they enter Beijing to participate in the ceremony.Since the imperial court has not yet used force in the southern Sichuan and Annan regions, the strength of the two towns is also limited, so they simply entered Beijing together.

These three generals of the Tang Dynasty were awarded the honor, and it is indeed because of their skill in managing the army and their strict military appearance.As for the two Hu generals, Xizhou Sima Adi Yanfeng is the chieftain of the Huihe Adi clan that the imperial court is currently deliberately supporting. Promotion is useful.

Another Hu general, An Chenggui, was known by his name to be a Hu man with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and his Xihe military envoy was not an official official position of the imperial court, but the leader of the mercenaries of the Xihe Society.

The soldiers of the Xihe Society have been staying in the Northeast in recent years, under the command of Zhang Renyuan, the ruthless protector of Anton, and they have been dealt with submissively. In terms of military appearance alone, they are actually better than many regular Tang army camps.From this, it can be seen that there are no inferior species in this world that cannot be reformed well. If there are, it is still too light to deal with them.

There were quite a few courtiers attending the ceremony today. Zhongshu, Menxia and other provinces, including officials from the Ministry of Officials, were also present. Following Liu Youqiu's announcement of the holy will, relevant officials prepared and announced it. The Marquis Book of Founding County of the third rank was given to these five people.

Not to mention the joy and envy of the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, after seeing this scene, the Hu chieftains who watched the ceremony also thought about it in their hearts.Especially the envoy of Tubo, the expression change was particularly obvious.

Different from other Hu forces, they are either vassals of Datang, or they are simply attached to seek asylum. As a Western power, Tubo is a powerful force that has fought with large armies on the frontal battlefield and defeated Datang several times in a row. It is an equal relationship of equality and separation of things.

Therefore, the Tubo envoy also showed pride in the banquet, and really looked down on the mob chieftains around him.

This time when entering the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo envoys, apart from watching the ceremony, also had an important task, that is, to spy on the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, and what is the purpose of the military performance in the capital this time. , Is the sword pointing at them Tubo?

Although the bilateral relations and interactive atmosphere between Datang and Tubo have been relatively good since the two sides resumed communication in the first year of Kaiyuan, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would not send someone to inform Tubo when it held a military ceremony, and Tubo would not even send envoys. Members came to watch the ceremony.

But even if diplomatic relations eased, the Tubo monarchs and ministers would not be naive, or willing to live in peace like this.Among other things, Datang is still holding one hand in the Eastern Region, which is very close to the Tubo mainland, and the so-called Xikang Kingdom has been managed by the Tang Dynasty, which makes the Tubo people panic.

This feeling is similar to the sense of offense that Longyou and Anxi brought to the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty when Tubo attacked Tuyuhun and directly threatened the Tang Dynasty, and it was even more serious.

After all, when Tuyuhun existed in the early years, it was only a foreign tribe of the Tang Dynasty, and did not belong to the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty.However, the land of the Eastern Region had been annexed and occupied by Tubo as early as Songtsan Gampo's period, and officially became one of the Four Rus of Tubo.

Moreover, the way the Tang Dynasty conspired to seize the Eastern Territory is also somewhat unacceptable. It hardly cost a single soldier, and just by intervening in the conflicts and disputes among the rich and powerful in Tubo, it not only occupied the Eastern Territory, but also included their plateau flowers. In the private curtain.

So until now, Tubo dignitaries, old and young, are still brooding over this, thinking of it, they would gnash their teeth. The old people envied the greed and greed of Xikang for getting richer and richer, while the young people resented the hatred of taking their wives. Tang must have a battle!

After the Tubo envoy arrived at the scene, he was deeply shocked by Datang's strong organizational power.Although they also have a strong national power capable of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops, they defeated the invading Tang army repeatedly in Qinghai in the early years.

But Tubo's so-called hundreds of thousands of troops are still a little different from Tang Dynasty. Every time Tubo goes to war, men, women and children are all incorporated into the army. Wherever the army goes, they will set up tents and nomads there. , then you will lose your fortune, and you will not be able to recover for a long time.

Especially at the moment, the persistent diseases in the middle school are hard to get rid of, which makes Tubo not have enough strength to conscript and mobilize tens of thousands of horses.

Of course, Tubo, which was founded on the plateau, had its own natural advantages. Although the Tang Dynasty was strong enough in conscripting and organizing, it would cost a lot to send hundreds of thousands of troops to the plateau to fight.Moreover, the geography and climate of the plateau had its own uniqueness. Tubo had the advantage of being a landlord, so it was actually not very afraid of the Tang army's direct invasion of the mainland.

However, although the unique terrain of the plateau is a major advantage for Tubo, it is also a disadvantage, that is, the potential of Tubo itself is really limited.During the Songtsen Gampo period, a powerful regime could be established by relying on the war dividends of the unification of the plateau.After Songtsan Gampo, the power minister Lu Dongzan and his son actively sought to go out, annexed Tuyuhun, and got involved in Anxi, and the development was also impressive.

But now the Gar family has become a big cancer that threatens the rule, and the pace of Tubo’s outward expansion has stagnated. The growing greedy demands of the powerful.

Therefore, although Tubo was not very worried about Datang's direct invasion of its territory, it was afraid that Datang would build a solid blockade around the plateau with its strong national power and deterrent power.Once it can no longer continue to expand outward, it will be enough to consume Tubo to pieces.

When seeing the official positions and identities of several generals who were rewarded heavily by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo envoy was shocked.Since he was an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally quite proficient in Tang affairs and could see many internal logics.

Among the five entrusted generals, apart from one who was far away in Xizhou, the Tubo family of Atang, who was not well known, Guo Zhiyun from Longyou, and An Chenggui, who was born in a miscellaneous Hu, were all related to Qinghai.

Especially Wang Jun from Yaozhou touched the sensitivity of the Tubo envoy's heart.The young emperor of the Tang Dynasty ruled the country in an orderly manner, and their Zanpu was naturally not far behind. He was also very busy in rectifying military affairs and human relations in the country. There is no plan to give up foreign expansion.

After all, the national conditions of Tubo are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. To recuperate and recuperate behind closed doors will only make you weaker and weaker. Only by fighting out and supporting war with war can you strengthen yourself and at the same time cover up some disputes and contradictions in the country.

Therefore, the middle school has been discussing for a long time, preparing to send troops to the Nanman Liuzhao in southwest Sichuan, occupy the land there, and recruit the barbarians there.Coincidentally, the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty informed the middle school of the grand military ceremony, so Zanpu temporarily stayed still and sent envoys into the Tang Dynasty to spy on the news.

Since Tubo plotted against the southern barbarians, they naturally had a deep understanding of Datang's border defense strategy.Although Datang also operated in the south of the Qinling Mountains, it was still limited to the land in the middle of Shu, and Yaozhou, which was further south, did not focus on operations. Even the barbarian tribes there often robbed the government. Send envoys to reprimand and condemn, but did not directly send troops to retaliate.

Because of this, Tubo monarchs and ministers felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.But they just started to think about it here, but they didn't expect that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would turn around and praise Yaozhou officials who had been neglected all the year round at such a grand ceremony. The plot of the country has been leaked out and discovered by Datang.

But no matter what the Tubo envoy was thinking, he was at the scene of the Tang military ceremony, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and sit in the seat to continue observing.

At this time, in front of the martial arts platform, after the brief joy of five people being rewarded and knighted, the atmosphere soon became tense again.Now that the rewards have been made, it will naturally come to the stage of punishment. Who will be so unlucky to be beheaded and sacrifice the flag? Those generals who were not named just now are also panicked.

Chapter 0852 to take Seoul's first level, show my criminal prestige

There was complete silence under the martial arts platform, and everyone was listening, waiting for Liu Youqiu to read out the list of punishments.

But Liu Youqiu did not directly read out the contents of the order, but first said in a solemn voice: "It takes a lot of effort for the country to support the army. The importance of setting up the three armies and the division of ten thousand people lies in one person. Therefore, whoever chooses must be inspected. The authority of the king is passed on. If the army is not good, the king will be wronged, and Li Wan will be wronged, leaving a gap with the enemy and causing harm to the country. The crime is so great that it cannot be forgiven. ! The second treasure of the emperor, rewards and punishments, will be executed immediately, and cannot be changed!"

When everyone heard this warning, their hearts trembled again, and Liu Youqiu didn't waste any more time. He unfolded the order and shouted: "Tianshan County Magistrate Fu Di prostrates, he has no ability to manage the army, the array is scattered, and the battalion is shapeless. For the worst, leave the class and be punished!"

Hearing this, most of the generals in front of Wutai breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling lucky that they had escaped, and at the same time, curious about the fate of the only unlucky guy who was named and sentenced. who is it.

This name sounds like general Hu, but although there are many generals in charge of soldiers inside and outside the court, they don't have such a weird name.And the person who can be named and tortured in such a ceremony is naturally not an ordinary person, so everyone looked left and right to look for it.

At this time, a young Hu general rushed out from the ranks, with a terrified expression, and knelt down in front of the martial arts platform with a plop, shouting loudly: "I implore the sage to show mercy... I was recruited into the court, but the despicable people are unbearable to be educated, and I am really not familiar with the Tang family's military orders! The ministers, father and son, obeyed the orders, respected the northern border, and never dared to disobey the slightest. I implore, implore the saints to have mercy, and stay with me. Life……"

Just as Hu General Fu Di begged for mercy, several Hu generals in the train, including some Hu chieftains who were watching the ceremony behind the martial arts platform, also went to the lecture platform to reason for this Hu general. plead.

Li Tongduan sat on the martial arts platform, seeing this scene, his eyes flickered slightly, and he ignored these pleas.Liu Youqiu, on the other hand, looked down at the Hu Chiefs and Hu generals and said solemnly: "The Tang family uses martial arts. Whenever there is a conscript, regardless of the Huayi people, they will be rewarded with materials. There is never a harsh levy. Giving merit with life is one. Today's punishment and reward are set here, and there is no internal or external judgment. Do you wait for the support of the masses to reject my lord's order and disrupt our rules and regulations?"

When the Hu chiefs and generals in front of the martial arts platform heard this, their faces changed one after another, and several of them directly confessed their crimes and then returned to their original positions.Seeing this scene, Na Fudi couldn't help but feel even more desperate.

At this time, the Uyghur man Abang Yanfeng, who had just been conferred the title of Marquis of Kaiguo County because of his strict military appearance, also strode out, first saluted with crossed hands on the martial arts platform, and then pointed at Emperor Fu and said angrily: "Shut up, boy!" In the old days, our Huihe people struggled to make a living in Mobei, and they were repeatedly plundered by the remnants of the Turks, and they could barely survive.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Tang Dynasty benevolently pushed forward, sent people to the desolate land of Mobei, called my suffering people to the south to resettle, and gave me all the tribes to attach to the river to recuperate.If there is no such kindness, there will be no troops and no life.The grace of re-creation is not so great in the world, how can your father and son show their achievements and be able to stand outside the will of heaven and the king's law? "

"A's lowly slave, you want to borrow a knife to kill me? Aren't you afraid that my father will use up all his troops to avenge me?"

At the critical moment of life and death, Emperor Fu was already extremely flustered, but when he heard that his world-enemy, A-Dian, chose to add insult to injury at this moment, he couldn't help but become even more reckless, pointing at A-Dian Yanfeng and yelling at him.

And when he cursed out these words, some Hequ Hu chieftains who were still in front of the martial arts platform and were still trying to rescue him sighed deeply, and then hurriedly retreated.

"Execution!"

After Liu Youqiu heard this, his complexion sank immediately, and he waved his hands and shouted, his armored personnel stepped forward to remove the armor of Fudi who was still struggling endlessly and took him to the execution ground, then raised his knife and dropped it, saying Blood gushed out.

When Emperor Fu's head was sent back to the martial arts platform, Liu Youqiu asked the sage for instructions, and then turned to the crowd, and said in a stern tone: "Hequ is not a country outside the country, and it has its own king's law and order to bring it to justice! Both inside and outside Whoever dares to disturb or violate the laws of the country by force, the imperial court will swear to punish them, and will never condone!"

When the Hu chiefs heard these words, their expressions were somewhat unnatural.Originally, the death of Qi Biming made them wonder how the situation in Hequ would go in the future, and whether the Tang court's control over that realm would be looser or stricter.

The imperial court did not leave much time for them to speculate and act, and directly used the head of the son of the head of the Luoge clan of Huihe medicine to announce to them: Although Qibi Ming died, the imperial court's determination and attitude to control Heshuo were not. It will not be changed. Anyone who has a disorderly will and intends to test will be punished by force!

To be honest, such a strong attitude did make the Hu chieftains in Heshuo feel uncomfortable.Although Huihe has already been split up, even if it is just Yao Luoge, its strength should not be underestimated. It is really unbearable that the heir to the leader of such a powerful tribe was killed by the Tang court. Feeling a sense of desolation in my heart, like the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Of course, apart from this discomfort, there is no other empathy.Many Hu tribes share the small amount of resources and products between the regions, and there is already a very deep competitive relationship between them.Right now, Datang Liwei's choice is only Yao Luoge's, which makes them secretly relieved, and a little gloat emerges.

They may not understand the truth of the cold lips.But if Huihe really turned against Datang, think with their asses that they also know which side they should stand on.I didn't see that the A-Tian family, who belonged to the same source of Huihe as the Yaoluoge family, had already chosen a team to stand. They, who were more distant from other tribes, of course had to stand farther away, so as not to be bloodied.

Not to mention the thoughts of the Hu chieftains in Heshuo, the Tubo envoy, who was still worried at first, was in a better mood when he saw that the Huihe people who entered the court were ordered to be beheaded.

Looking at it this way, Datang intends to further rectify the order in Heshuo, but has no intention of Xigu for the time being.Just now several Hu chiefs stood up to intercede for the unlucky guy. Although the result did not change in the end, it can be guessed that the king and ministers of the Tang Dynasty acted so domineeringly, which would inevitably make many Hu tribes feel dissatisfied, and even give birth to renunciation against the Tang Dynasty. .

If there is a real military disaster in Heshuo, it may not be able to calm down in a short time.The national power of the Tang Dynasty was involved in Heshuo, which was of great benefit to their Tubo.

It's just that the previous confrontation with Datang was presided over by the Gar family. Although the envoy was proficient in Tang affairs, he hadn't reached the level of Heshuo.

Although I have seen something now, due to the lack of in-depth understanding of the situation in Heshuo, the Tubo envoy did not dare to make a final judgment hastily. An idea came up in his heart, and he wanted to test it out after the ceremony and during the audience. some.

After Emperor Fu of Huihe was punished, the troops he led naturally withdrew from the next martial arts performance, and the commander of the Beijing camp was temporarily in charge of it. He waited until Huihe sent envoys to negotiate before considering whether to return it.

If on other occasions, the leader of the family would be arrested and killed so involuntarily, the more than 2000 Huihe tribesmen would more or less cause chaos.But right now there are more than 20 troops gathered around Lishan Mountain, it is really not a place where you can run wild.

Therefore, when the news spread to the ranks, although the Huihe soldiers were full of grief and indignation, they did not dare to act presumptuously. They obediently accepted Datang's arrangement, disarmed and left the martial arts scene, and were temporarily arranged in In a closed camp in the Weishui River Valley.

After reviewing the military appearance and implementing rewards and punishments, the martial arts exercise continued.Except for the battalions of the internal guards in front of the hall who are still staying in the lecture hall, the rest of the battalions have to pass in front of the lecture platform one by one, replace their respective formation camps, and under the guidance of the flag and drum military order, arrange various offenses and defenses. The military formation for the saint to continue to review.

Accompanied by the deafening sound of drums and horns, and the guidance of various flags, the originally solemn martial arts scene suddenly became lively and lively.The [-] light cavalry were the first to appear on the stage. The soldiers each wore leather armor and held knives and bows.

As a farming-based empire, the Central Plains Dynasty did not have an advantage in cavalry mobility compared to the surrounding nomadic forces that made their homes on horseback.But this does not include Datang, especially before the Anshi Rebellion when the national power was at its peak, whether it was excellent cavalry soldiers or horses owned by Datang, it was not inferior to or even surpassed the surrounding Hu forces.

Because of having such a powerful mobile force, before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was powerful and powerful, attacking from all directions, controlling the enemy within its gates, and few wars occurred within the mainland.

When the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty were criss-crossing and changing battle formations in front of the martial arts platform, the Hu chieftains in the stands all showed expressions of shock and dismay.

This time they entered the Tang Dynasty to observe the ceremony, and to observe the strength of the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty was also one of their important purposes.It can even be said that whether the cavalry is strong or not determines whether they will be more submissive to Datang in the future, or whether they will secretly conspire and provoke the border order of Datang.

On the current martial arts arena, the Tang cavalrymen come and go like the wind and change formations flexibly, which shows that their imperial skills are excellent and their combat methods are flexible, even far exceeding the level of their respective troops.

Although it is said that nomads are born to learn riding and archery, they are not qualified warriors if they can ride a horse or draw a bow.In fact, most of the nomadic soldiers lack basic military literacy. Compared with the three-time cultivation and one-time martial arts production and drill rhythm arrangement, nomads need more energy and physical strength.

Although the nomadic life can provide them with more qualified knights and the cost of forming a troop is lower, war is not a horse-riding parade after all. Once they encounter well-trained Datang cavalry, the advantage in numbers will not increase the chance of winning. not big.Therefore, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were often brilliant records of thousands breaking tens of thousands.

Of course, it is not that the Hus lack well-trained professional armored soldiers and fine cavalry, but the cost of maintaining such an army is also not low, which is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary Hu forces.

The resources produced by nomadic life are single and unstable, which prevents them from continuously and effectively investing in military construction. Only when there is insufficient external force intervention, Dou Gu generally gradually eats away the same kind of forces around it, in order to obtain greater resistance. Pressure ability, and has a broader space for development.

Chapter 0853 Wu Yun Changlong, the prestige of the world

The galloping martial arts scene of the Qingqimen of the Tang Dynasty, although the Hu chieftains who were watching the ceremony were quite shocked, they thought they were not as good as they were.

However, this impact has not exceeded their cognition on the whole. This is a manifestation of the strength of the Tang Dynasty. In the view of these Hu chiefs, if they can also make enough investment, they can also organize a fighting force. The extremely strong fine cavalry troops may not be comparable to Datang in terms of scale, but their individual combat effectiveness will not be much inferior, and may even surpass them.

As for the envoy of Tubo, the corners of his mouth already showed a bit of self-respect.Different from the sentiments of other Hu chiefs, they already have such a strong foundation and strength right now.It's just that due to the blockade of the surrounding environment, their Tubo cavalry have not been able to rush down to the plateau, and galloped wantonly in all directions.

After half an hour of changing formations, Wu Yuan from the Qingqi Department rushed to the camp along the Weishui River to temporarily station and rest.And the next one to appear on the stage is the infantry formation of swords, guns and shield soldiers.

Accompanied by the sound of rapid drums, horseshoes were also thundering outside the Martial Arts Field. Although they were called infantry, they were also thrown onto the Martial Arts Field with horses.After riding their horses to the specified location in the martial arts field, the soldiers quickly dismounted and put on their armor, and after two drumbeats, they completed the arrangement of the equipment and the arrangement of the array.

The [-] sergeants were divided into two sides, each formed a formation, odd and positive, and when their respective formations were set up, they began to charge and attack each other.The battalion flags are unfurled, dragons and snakes are swimming, and all kinds of ingenious changes in the battle formation are flexibly staged in this world.

This time, the expressions of the Hu chieftains watching the ceremony became even more unnatural.If it is said that in cavalry combat, they may still be able to compete for a little bit by virtue of the natural advantages of nomads, then in infantry combat, they are completely at a disadvantage.

The most rascal thing about the Tang infantry is that their mobility is also not weak. Sufficient horses can quickly put them into the battlefield. Through the cooperation of the cavalry accompanying the army to outflank, limit the scope of the enemy's activities and force them to dismount. Fight on foot.

In the foreign wars that started from the Zhenguan period, once the enemy was forced to dismount and fight, it meant that the one-sided massacre had officially begun.In the gathering battles in the wild battlefield, there are few opponents around who can keep up with the changes and threats of the Datang army.

The coordination of gathering and dispersing in the battle formation is not enough dexterity, but when it comes to the rationing of ordnance and armaments, it is even worse.On the battlefield alone, the more than 2 infantry units are all armored, and the swords and swords are breathtaking under the sunshine, and there are even more lethal strong bows and crossbows to cooperate with killing the enemy, but in the process of performing martial arts is not shown in .

After witnessing the changes in the battle formation of the infantry of the Tang Dynasty, the expression of the Tubo envoy also changed slightly.As one of the few powerful regimes in the surrounding area that has defeated Datang several times on the frontal battlefield, the Tubo people have a sense of arrogance in their hearts, but they have to admit that the Tubo army is actually inferior to the military literacy and combat capabilities of individual soldiers. On Datang.

Like the battle of Chengfengling between Tubo and Datang in the early years, in the first half of the battle, under the ingenious command of Dalun Qinling, Tubo had already won several battles in a row, and had already tied the main force of Datang to the extremely unfavorable terrain. Chengfeng Ridge area.

But in such a situation with obvious advantages, the black-toothed Changzhi of Datang only led five hundred daredevils to attack the Tubo camp at night, and even forced the Tubo army of tens of thousands to flee from the camp, making them trapped in the camp. The main force of the Tang Dynasty in Chengfengling was able to leave the battlefield and retreat to Longyou.

There are still many similar examples. In many cases, the Tubo army took advantage of its geographical and military advantages to form a great oppression on the Tang army on the battlefield, but it was often turned against the wind by a small group of elite Tang troops.

Brave but not ingenious, numerous but not skilled, this is also a very obvious shortcoming of Tubo in the battle with the Tang Dynasty, so that except for the famous general such as Da Lun Qinling who has strong adaptability and exquisite tactical command However, other Tubo generals rarely achieved brilliant victories in their battles with Tang.

After the evolution of the infantry formation and the end of the simulated battle, it was already past noon, and then there was no longer a large-scale army entering the field, but a small group of elite and special arms drills.

Before these arms formally took to the field, thousands of engineers and soldiers each brought their implements and materials, and arranged special venues in various areas of the martial arts field to more intuitively show the characteristics and lethality of these arms.

After the venue was set up, the first to appear on the stage was the heavily equipped Mo Dao Bing.A total of [-] Mo Dao soldiers were transported to the martial arts arena by war horses. After they were all dressed up and armored, they began to walk along the wall.In front of them, there are thousands of wooden stakes for targeting, all of which are covered with double armor.However, when these Mo Dao soldiers walked past the wall, the Mo Dao waved, and the Dao fell to the target, hardly causing any obstruction.

Seeing this scene on the martial arts arena, Li Tong on the stage couldn't help but beam with joy, and the smile on his face became even wider when he heard the nearly uniform gasps of the barbarian chiefs in the auditorium behind. obvious.
